INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT MARILYN CHAPIN MASSEY ON KNX-AM RADIO, LOS ANGELES

Tom Huell, anchor:
Pitzer College in Claremont is taking steps to make its classes more relevant 
to what happens outside campus life. The Center for California Cultural and 
Social Issues has been established, thanks to the grants of more than one 
million dollars from the Keck and James Irvine Foundations.

Marilyn Chapin Massey (Pitzer College President):
They learn about organizations, they work with the people who have needs 
served by thos organizations, and they try to make a difference.

Don Fair reporting:
College president Marilyn Chapin Massey, talking about the eight hundred 
students at the school who are urged to get into the community and get 
their hands dirty. The funding for the Center will establish scientific 
ways to track the work they do.

Massey: Our students care about the real world, they care about trying to 
make a difference, and obviously this is relevant for Pitzer students. 
Sometimes it's overwhelming so they need help, they need structure, they 
need time to sit back and reflect on what they're doing, but it's definitely 
relevant.


Huell: The Pitzer students work in the nearby communities of Ontario and 
Pomona, and also the streets of Los Angeles.
