By Jenny Mertz-Shea

After narrowly escaping the axe at last Friday's
faculty meeting, the Faculty Position Planning Committee (FPPC)
is now under examination by the Executive Committee, the primary
committee of faculty.
In a March 28 meeting, Chemistry Professor Wayne
Steinmetz brought a motion to abolish the FPPC. But the motion was
tabled until April 4, when the faculty held a voice vote and ultimately
voted the motion down.
Students Help the Homeless
By Kyle Warneck
Staff Writer
While some students lament the isolation of the Pomona bubble, others
are working to burst that bubble and are becoming active in surrounding
communities. In the fall of this year, Pomona students David Henderson
'05 and Michael Gechter '05 formed SHARE Low-Income Services. SHARE
is a student group dedicated to providing services to unhoused people
and those at risk of being unhoused in the Pomona and Ontario areas.
They argue that one of the biggest problems unhoused individuals
face is a lack of information. Simply having access to the internet
and the skills necessaryto do research can make a big difference.
SHARE puts those in need in touch with individual case workers to
help close this information gap.

Unbeknownst to most students, the fate of vertebrae ecology hung

months. The sole faculty position in the field of ecology will be
relinquished at the end of this year with the retirement of Professor
William Wirtz. Only last week did Pomona acknowledge this impending
absence by granting permission to the Biology department to search
for a candidate to fill Wirtz's shoes.
