Student Body President Dennis Manning has called for student action to help pass the critical tax override election Feb. 23. " The student body of City College must be willing to make its voice heard in the community if we are to avoid the educational crisis defeat of this measure is sure to bring, " Manning told the Times. The ASB president said passage or defeat of the override rests to a great extent upon the willingness of the student body to get involved .

Dr. Hayakawa, born in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, graduated from the University of Manitoba, and received his M.A. Degree in English from McGill University, Montreal. He earned his P .H.D. in English at Wisconsin.

The entire evening should prove to be enlightening, as well as entertaining. So make plans to attend this promising event.

Joseph Leal, Coordinator of Industrial Education, stated, "I think it would be a good idea if the peace officer could take Chicano and Black Studies. I also believe that police officers who are working in the police department now, should come back every two years, and take some type of Community Relations course in up to date methods of Law Enforcement. ' ' Lt. Tom Scribner, San Jose Police Department, when asked if he thought new changes were needed for law enforcement major's, he commented, "As time goes along certainly there should be change in many things . All the city requires for a police department job is 60 semester units. " Daniel Campos, Community Relations instructor a t SJCC, said, " The primary purpose of Community Relations is to establish a two way dialogue. " Community Relations covers such a broad area that it does not give the ins structor the opportunity to deal with individual ethnic groups in any real

ASB President Calls for EVC Action

A new requirement is needed for the law enforcement major at San Jose City College. Chicano and Black Studies, either in History or Sociology should be made a required course for the prospective peace officer in Santa Clara County.

WHAT'S UP, .DOC?

Dr. Peden 's purpose on campus is to provide medical coverage on all. students, be it a war t on one's finger, or a prescription to birth control pills. He can also a dminister tetnus shots and prescribe medicine for those patients requiring it.

As of this printing, the club's vice president, Joanne Hofman has a·sswned all executive duties. Joanne disclosed to her membership that it would be timely to begin work on the publication of the "Arena," ( a leaflet which contains student evaluations of instructors at SJCC) . Miss Hofman summed up her feelings by stating " The Club president should assume the leadership role to initiate the overall function of the membership. "

money to send representatives to the annual convention of DECA <Distributive Education Clubs of America). The Merchandising Club intends to send about 10 representatives to the convention, which will be held during the Spring '71 semester.

" The fact that we need only a simple majority takes on greater meaning when you realize that similar measures requiring a two - thirds majority have been turned down by a minority of voters .. . rarely have these rejections been close to a mandate, much less a simple majority," said. Manning . Manning said he personally favors the direct appeal approach to arguing the issue, rather than the approach advocated by Dr. Paul Preising which would involve an all- out effort to attract the probable " yes" voters to the polls . In a direct appeal to interested students, Manning called for volunteers to contact ASB officers immediately so that "appropriate action can be planned and coordinated to elicit favorable voter response ."

When laboratory or X-ray service is needed due to sickness the policy will pay

Dr. Peden attended Oregon State College in 1960 and joined the Navy for three years. He then attended the University of Oregon Medical School, and he served his internship at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Prior to this year, he was in general practice in Sunnyvale.

This change came into effect when members of the SCTA .confronted the president of the club, Dennis Olivarez, with the general feelings that there was a lack of leadership and organization at the executive level.

"As a result of recent legislation, we need only a simple majority to pass the measure .. . this means our chances are very good, as polls indicate voters are fairly evenly divided with slightly over 40 per cent in each camp. By alerting the public to the consequences of defeat of "We desperately need both leaders and the override, it should be possible to workers if we are to turn Feb. 23 from an br ing some of those opposed and some of impotent date to a vital and effective those undecided into the camp of those victory for education," Manning said. who realize the gravity of the situation,"Defeat of the measure could mean: nonManning observed. availability of fimds with which to open Manning continued by point out that the Evergreen Valley College; difficulty in student body, through such action as maintaining current City College _providing speakers to appear before programs ; non-availability of a full civic organizations and social clubs, has range of academic offE:rlngs; and the the power to sway the vote in fav~r of possibility that many s tudents will be education.

The final resolvement came when Club president, Dennis Olivarez, made the following statement : " Due to the fact that there does exist a personal conflict, I will present my resignation to the general membership at the next club meeting." He then went on to say: "I never did want to be club president. "

The concerned club members agreed upon the following group of individuals to state the general consenus. Those representatives were Joanne Hofman, Theresa Maiorana and Bert Cooper.

By CHUCK EDWARDS The Student California Teachers Association at San Jose City College announced an executive change when Kathy Perlongo (SCTA), Inter - Club Council Representative reported that Joanne Hofman would assume the position of club president.

The two main provisions' of the new system are: A single application for admission 'by each prospective student, on which he lists his first college preference along with as many as three other campuses he is willing to attend if there is no room at his first choice. A one - month period each year during which applications for admissiqn will be accepted by all ca.mpuses -after which successful applications, if there are more

applicants than openings, will be selected

according to new guidelines. Previously, prospective students could apply for number of campuses, which resulted in confusion for both officials and student applicants . Under the new system, an application which can't be accommodated at the campus of first choice will automatically be forwarded to the second campus listed by the student and so on.

state college officials earlier this year, each campus is allowed to set enrollment quotas by categories- such as academic are and class level. Then the quotas are filled according to a system of priorities - giving first preference to California veterans and transfer students from two - year community colleges. Factors such as hardship, previous attendance, past service, degree soughts and special ability will also be considered.

Eight state colleges, San Jose, Chico, Fullerton, Humboldt, Sacramento, San Fernando Valley, San Francisco and Sonoma, are listed by the chancellor's Admission application forms will be office as likely to receive more qualified available by Oct. 15. applications than each college can accept.

depth." Personal satisfaction of serving one's community and understanding the people in that community should be one of the primary objectives of the law enforcement major. This idea seemed to be expressed by Dennis Manning, Associated Student Body president, when he commented, " I think it is essential for any police science major, who plans to work in the community, to have more than ·a basic understanding of the social sciences in relation to minority backgrounds. " It must be realized that the material and other related facets of the courses have been available ... Someone is dragging their feet ... we should get cracking on this and implement these courses so that our police majors leave here as professionals."

History 17A al)d 178, which are required courses anyway, could be taken by the law enforcement major through a Chicano or Black perspective. This is what Leal said in regards to this, "I'll bring it up in our next advisory board meeting and try to put it through."
