Ray became principal of the school in 1983 until his retirement in 1992. He had a natural gift for teaching and took pride in the positive rapport he had with his students. For many, Mr. Barber will be remembered as their favorite teacher. Ray was a very devoted husband, father and grandfather and taking care of his family was always his first priority.

Woman found in attic OROVILLE (AP) — A 29-year-old Northern California man is in custody on suspicion of torture and false imprisonment after authorities say they found a woman behind drywall mud in the attic of a home. The woman told authorities she had been held against her will there for about two weeks and repeatedly sexually assaulted by the suspect, Lawson Rankin. Butte County Sheriff's Sgt. Jason Hail says Rankin was covered in drywall mud when sheriff's deputies arrived at the Oroville home to check on the woman on Monday. Rankin denied having seen her, but authorities saw an area of the kitchen wet with the mud and broke the seal to find the woman trapped inside. Rankin was being held without bail at Butte County Jail. Man hits grandmother SACRAMENTO (AP) — Investigators say a California man punched his grandmother and torched her home.

He'll be succeeded by current University of California, Riverside Chancellor Timothy P. White, who's set to take the helm at the end of this month. In his Long Beach office overlooking the Queen Mary, shelves that once held awards and memorabilia are now empty. Reed will soon be returning to his home in Tallahassee, Fla., where he plans to spend his retirement years catching up with his five grandsons. "I started this job only thinking I would be here five years," he said, with a chuckle. "Now 14 years and 10 months later, here I am. Time tends to fly in these jobs." The oldest of eight children from a coal-mining town in western Pennsylvania, Reed attended George Washington University on a football scholarship, and there he earned a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and a doctorate in education. He worked as chief of staff for Florida Gov. Bob Graham before serving for 13 years as chancellor of the State University System of Florida. Reed said he took the job as chancellor of the CSU in 1998 with the goal of improving student enrollment numbers and providing more access to low-income and minority students. Under his leadership, the CSU grew enrollment by 100,000 students at its peak and added a new campus in the Channel Islands. Reed also established new programs to target traditionally underserved students. Latino enrollment, for example, grew from 20 percent of the CSU student body in 2002 to nearly 30 percent in 2011. However, most other minority student enrollment levels held steady, increased slightly or decreased slightly. The black student population saw a drop from 5.7 percent in 2002 to 5 percent in 2011. A major source of pride, Reed notes that his signature has appeared on more than 1.5 million diplomas in his time with the CSU. Reed's peers have Daily News photo by Julie Zeeb Corning Volunteer Fire Chief Martin Spannaus and dispatcher Frank Rua show off two of the toys collected to be given away with the department's Foodbasket Giveaway during Christmas week. described him as a tenacious leader who rarely backs down when faced with a challenge. Retired California Community Colleges Chancellor and former state senator Jack Scott recalled the time he and Reed worked together to pass a landmark bill that gave the CSU the authority to award doctoral degrees in education. "We were met with opposition, but Charlie was extremely dedicated and we were able to get the bill passed," Scott said. "He's a very effective leader. He's been through tough times with budget constraints, but I think he gave great leadership during that time." While Reed has been nationally recognized as an influential leader in higher education, he's also faced harsh criticism from students, faculty and stakeholders. Under his tenure, student tuition increased by 263 percent, sparking protests across the state. Chanting slogans such as "No more Reed, No more fees!" angry students have picketed in front of Reed's home and at meetings in Long Beach. Some have made posters depicting a greedy-looking Reed holding dollar bills. Reed has said the tuition increases were necessary to maintain enrollment numbers. Students have accused him of being out of touch with their daily struggles. "Chancellor Reed has never been open to hearing student input or involving students in the decision making," said Cal State Long Beach senior Ojaala Ahmad, a member of the CSU-wide group Students for Quality Education. "We hope with the new chancellor there will be more transparency and accountability." Reed's tenure also has been marred by a contentious relationship with the CSU's faculty union. Lillian Taiz, president of the California Faculty Association, said the tension began in Reed's first month as chancellor when he told media outlets that he believed faculty could work more hours. Taiz said the comments offended hard-working faculty. "It has been contentious from the very beginning," she said. "You could argue that he came out swinging." Taiz said faculty have fought to maintain the CSU's mission of access and affordability. Reed, she said, has a different vision. "In our perspective, Reed envisions a much more privatized university where the cost is shifted on to the individual rather than shared by the state," she said. "You can see this in the way he creates a model of high executive salaries, high student tuition and low wages for employees." The tension came to a head this year when faculty announced their plan for a rolling strike on all 23 campuses following two years of unsuccessful contract negotiations. The two parties reached an agreement in September, avoiding a strike. Reed said the frustration is mutual. "I would say my biggest disappointment has been the faculty union. All they wanted to do was fight and demonize me rather than being a partner in trying to make things better," he said. "All they're doing is looking to gain power, and that's not their role." In another contentious issue, the CSU earlier this year was slammed by critics such as Gov. Jerry Brown and State Superintendent Tom Torlakson for a round of pay raises for some presidents in a time of budget cuts. As one of the state's highest-paid leaders in public education, Reed has been criticized for his own $451,500 annual compensation package. In addition, he has a university-provided home in Long Beach's upscale Belmont Heights neighborhood and a private car with a driver. The presidential salary debate became heated last year when the CSU Board of Trustees approved a $400,000 compensation package for newly named San Diego State President Elliot Hirshman, while in the same meeting trustees also approved a 12 percent tuition increase. Reed has maintained that the CSU must compete in the national market to attract top talent. "When you are in the national marketplace you have to pay market compensation," he said. "I got a lot of criticism for compensating Elliot Hirshman, but he raised $74 million (in donations) in his first year. You get what you pay for, and I think that was a pretty good return on our investment." Reed has also been blasted by students who say he's curt and unforgiving. In a recent trustee meeting on a proposed $100 fee for students who repeat a course, some trustees expressed concern that students would be unfairly penalized for making a mistake. "Well then, it's a $100 mistake," quipped Reed. The chancellor is the first to admit he can come off as gruff. "I've been criticized for being 'East Coast blunt,'" he said. "But you know what? Nobody ever misunderstands me or goes away confused. I'm not gonna try to fool anybody. I don't play hide the ball. I don't play gotcha." "With Charlie, what you see is what you get," said CSU Board Chairman Bob Linscheid. "He can be tough, but when it comes down to it, it's all about the students." Sonoma State President Ruben Armñana, who's known Reed for two decades, said the chancellor's tough exterior hides a softer side. "You couldn't have a better friend in Charlie, and he's not that bad of an enemy either because he forgets quickly," Armñana said. "He has the gruffness of a big bear, but underneath there's a sweet lamb."
