Student warnings

Hi, all. No big news here. Just a heads up.



  • Student John Paul (J. P.) Tordilla, who is in Dave Tull's 57F Latin Jazz Ensemble class, wanted access to 108A. I have no list of approved students for anyone in 57F. I let him in this time. I'd appreciate guidance on handling future access requests from Mr. Tordilla and maybe others in the class.

  • 96A student Robert Trujillo (in Dan Cole's 96A) seems resistant to the idea of getting a Lancer ID, stating that others in the lab don't require it. While allowing him access to the MIDI lab this Saturday, I placed him on notice that knowing his Lancer number would no longer be adequate for checking out lab materials and that he needed a Lancer ID card.

  • No one checked out the Mobile Recording Unit today. Yet, when I was closing up, I found it opened and everything turned on. I had not gone in there when I opened up. I shut it down, but did not know how Dan would want the Computer monitor, keyboard, etc. removed to allow the covers to be placed on the unit to secure it. I also found the power supplies to all the MIDI stations on and shut those down, too.

  • I'm also chronically kicking out one student from 216 who respectfully complies, but continues to go into 216 to practice without checking out a room. When it happens again I will try to get his name. I'm getting to where I would like lock down each room in 216 and unlock it for each individual, once they check it out. How would you all feel about that?

  1. 1-I will add JP Tordilla to the list (OK to use drum rooms)
    2-Next time R. Trujillo comes in w/o his ID card, inform him that he cannot use rooms or check ANYTHING out w/o his ID. Send him to speak with me if he resists you on this issue. W/O an ID, he is technically trespassing here at PCC!
    3-The mobile recording key is for the padlock only, any student in 216F could open up the mobile recording unit!
    4- We have to be more vigilant in checking in on 216 practice rooms. Almost every time I go by the room, I look in to verify that the students have followed our protocols. If you lock down the practice rooms you will be constantly going back and forth to open/lock those rooms. The signs in the rooms state that students may be asked to show their ID when asked by the lab instructor. I look through the windows for the room card or knock on doors to ask to see the room card from every one using the 216 rooms.
