Now that we know what programs and positions the Ventura County Community College District board is looking to eliminate to balance its budget, education writer John Scheibe (jscheibe@VenturaCountyStar.com) will take a closer look at some of the impacts. But give him a little time before you contact him, please. He was working until 3 a.m. today to cover the meeting and get his story updated on our website. Also for tomorrow, reporter Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) will focus on the elimination of the journalism programs at Ventura and Oxnard colleges, ending the publication of the student papers at those schools -- an 80-year history at Ventura College.

Also in tomorrow's paper, we'll be covering the funeral of Pedro Reveles, the Oxnard College student who played on the school baseball team. Reveles was shot and killed Saturday night after an argument.

We'll be watching the ocean today as high surf is predicted up and down the coast. If there's any major problems, that story could be put on Page One.

Off the wires, the top stories of the day include the follow in the Los Angeles mayor's election from yesterday and continuing violence in Iraq.
