Governor Booth Gardner appointed a 41
year old minority Bellevue banker to the
College Board of Trustees last Monday.
George E. Northcroft, a vice-president and
manager at First Interstate Bank of Washing-
ton, succeeds Mary McKinley who sat on
the board for nine years. Her second term
expired September 30.
A spokesperson for the College said she
was active on the board and they hope that
Northcroft will continue that standard.
College President Paul Thompson said
McKinley did an excellent job on the board,
and even though he'd met Northcroft only
briefly president Thompson feels he will be
a good addition to the board.
McKinley was appointed in 1977 by
former Governor Dixie Lee Ray and reap-
pointed by John Spellman five years ago.
A source in the Governors office said
Gardner considered Northcroft for the
position because of his good community
relations.
Northcroft was born and raised in New
York City, and earned his bachelors and
masters degrees at St. Johns University.
Prior to Northcroft coming to Bellevue,
he served as the president of Citycorp in
New York He has also held positions with
General Electric, IBM, Equitible Life Insu-
rance, and Gruman Aircraft.
Northcraft, whose father was a full
blooded American Indian, is on the board
of directors of the Seattle Urban League, and
the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club. He is also
co-chaimmn of the marketing committee of
Forest Ridge School, and the past president
of the Pacific Northwest Bankers Association.

College cited for excellence
Washington State Energy Office
Bellevue Community College in Bellevue
is among five state facilities cited for
excellence in energy management and
named recipients of the first annual Gov-
ernor's Energy Awards.
The other four are the Washington State
Penitentiary in Walla Walla, Western
Washington University in Bellingham, H.T.
Buckner Rehabilitation Center in Seattle and
Naselle Youth Camp in Naselle, Pacific
County.
The five collectively spent $218,000 less
in energy costs this year than they spent
three years ago.
Governor Booth Gardner, during an
awards ceremony in his office on Wednesday
(Oct. 8), told representatives of the five
facilities that he appreciated their energy
conservation efforts.
"This is to thank all of you who took time
to make that personal effort on conservation
to save money to put back into the operation
and provide services," the governor said.
Governor Gardner said the energy pro-
gram and productivity board are two means
of increasing efficiency and productivity in
state government.
"A lot of people say its just a lot of smoke,
you're using mirrors to do somethimg," the
governor relatecL
It's anything but a public relations
gimmick, however. The facts are the
productivity awards program, which began
taking state employee suggestions in 1983,
has proved very succerssful, Governor
Gardner said.
In 1983-84, the state saved more than
$91,000 on suggestions, he saic
"This year around 650 ideas saved close
• o a million dollars and the year's not over
yet." Governor Gardner sai&
Dick Watson, Director of the Washington
State Energy Office, told the five facility
representatives the awards were a culmi-
nation of the Governor's Energy Team's
"look at ways in which we can recognize
the efforts of state agencies to be good
stewards of energy resources and tax
dollars." Continued on pg. 8
Accepting the awards were President Paul Thompson, Dean of
Administration Services Jewell Manspeaker, Director of Campus
Operations Dean Greenough and refrigeration supervisor Neal Neuman.
