A City College instructor has called for a state - wide moratorium on school bond and tax override elections until the next state legislature has had a chance to act on various proposals effecting California schools.
He cited the fact that with few exceptions, legislature s elected on Nov: 3, had "campaigned on platforms callmg for either the abolishmen t or drastic revision of present tenure laws affecting California public school teachers."
And the Instructor of American Groenen, a Republica n who' was Governmen t and History at SJCC, Jan eliminated in the 22nd Assembly race, Henry Groenen, told the San Jose East said that instant tenure all too often Valley Lions club at their breakfast means permanent disaster for Calif~rnia recently he considered it unjustifiab le for schools. school administra tors to call for such elections until the legislature s dealt with Continuing on, the City College instructor tenure and voting requiremen ts on bond avowed "it is necessary the next ' legislature not only to take a close look at and override elections. the present tenure, but also a hard Bearing down on the subject of faculty scrunity at the hiring and firing pracsalaries, the ·g uest speaker told the Lions tices . and their guests that "it is totally immoral to ask tax payers for more money "These practices allow for the perverts to pay s~laries of faculty member s who in education to hire their own bed partare a detriment of education and a ners rather than selecting the best danger to our .young people. qualified applicants to teach our young people," Groenen added.

He paused, and then remarked, " Getting rid of those who are perverting the minds of our young people as well as our educational institutions will be difficult enough. ''Changing the hiring game from its present status to a realistic acquisition of hiring only the best qualified people available on the employment market today maybe next to impossible ," he stated. '
Groenen stipulated that a serious effort be made to put the responsibility of hiring a nd firing should be returned to the hands of the elected representatives - the school boards - which the taxpayers elected and expect to perform that duty. "The California taxpayer and school population deserve better than what they a re getting at the present - too much a ttention has been given to the building of institutions and not enough to meeting of the students," Groenen stated.

Civitan Slates Fruitcake Sal e "All God's Children Need Shoes" is the 1971 theme for the Civitans' Fifteenth annual "Shoes for Kids" fruit cake sales, Elementa ry school teachers, school nurses and principals are asked to report to Civitan when they see a child they feel is in need of shoes. Civitan then sends a certificate to the child. The child goes to one of San Jose's leading stores to choose and buy his own new shoes. To be able to supply these shoes, Civitan has a yearly fruitcake sale. The fruitcake is baked by Claxton. In order to buy this year's estimated 850 pairs of shoes, Civitan has to sell 10,000 pounds of fruitcakes. The San Jose Civitan Club was formed 40 years ago when 50 men decided they wanted to do something to promote good citizenship. Each year the goals of "Shoes for Kids" grows, and Civitan has welcomed the support of PTA's , school faculties , businessmen and groups. An amazing source of. involvemen t are the students from San Jose · City' College. The young coeds chosen as "Miss Shoes," under the direction of Carl Palmer, a counselor and member of Ci vi tan, manage the publicity interviews, photograph s, posters, TV appeara nces and radio .spots that help Civitan reach its goal. San Jose City College students who are assisting the annual drive this year are : Bev Hessdurter , Cathy Howard, Diann Cain, Debbie Kile, Donna Byers, Marcia Martin, Marilyn Swigert, Susan ::::·:·:·:·:·:·:·:~:;:;:; :::::::::::::.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~::::

UNI CEF Cards In Bookstor'e UNICEF greeting cards are now available at the student bookstore. According to Geroge S. Green, SJCC English instructor and volunteer chairman for the UNICEF card sale, the cards will be on display on Monday through Friday from 8 a .m. to 4:30p.m. and in the evenings Monday through Thursday from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. With the sale of every'box of cards, some unfortunate child will benefit. One box of cards sold will provide enough antibiotics to protect 12 children from malaria or tachoma, while the purchase of 10 hoses makes available six Bunsen burners for science instruction. The sale of 50 boxes will provide a single wheel cultivator for a farmer to cultivate his la nd. "These cards, sold mostly by volunteers, can mean the difference between life and death for countless boys and girls in Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, " Green said. This year's series will feature 19 new designs, the products of the efforts qf world - famous artists who donated the artwork.

Green also remarked that, in addition to helping UNICEF, the card sale benefits the school. "The original sale benefits UNICEF, then since the college is enti tied to a ten per cent profit on the sale of the cards but customaril y turns all monies realized on the sale, UNICEF benefits again."
