In an address on " Conservation versus , Population Explosion" in the City College theater Sunday evening he emphasized the need to do something about population now. "Population growth," he said, " is as great a peril to world peace as all the nuclear arms that exist." ~c~.loskey said that it is the responstbthty of adults to not bring children into -the world that they cannot support. "We talk of equality of opportunity in the United States, but how can there be that equality when some children never have the opportunity of good food, nutrition, adequate schooling or descent housing? Without these chances how can that child

Kolotouros has a couple of alternatives in mind. One is that students pay 50 cents per day for use of the parking space. The other is students who purchase a dollar's worth of food from his restaurant will receive a: -ticket allowing them to park without having to pay a fee.

Ed Alaimo, SJCC student,-who had his car towed away January 6, 1971 by Schaller Towing, said, " I saw five other cars being towed away that morning at $15 per car that's not bad profits for the towing service." Alaimo reported. that the towing service receives cash only. "They took my typewriter for collateral because I didn't have cash to pay them." There are 1,619 parking spaces at SJCC and over 5,000 day students on campus. Kolotouros ' alternative will no doubt be welcomed by many students who have been faced with a parking problem since the beginning of the semester.

MECHA Supports Bond Election By Ramiro Asencio MECHA students spoke in support of the bond election slated for Feb. 23, 1971. In a special meeting held at San Jose City Cqllege, Chicano students expressed a ' willingness to work for the tax override in the Model Cities area. Sonny Madrid, MECHA spokesman at SJCC, stated, " We will go out into the community and get voters to the poles on the tax override proposal. " Voters will decide Feb. 23 if they will agree to a 28 cent tax increase per $100 of ass.essed property value for a period of five years. The annual base will then be 63 cents per $100, or a $20,000 home owner would pay $14 per year and the owner of a $30,000 home, $21 . Rudy Cordova, Chicano Studies Director, supports the students, "I think it's a good idea for students to get involved in the bond election. The Chicano can influence greatly the voters of the bond election and is a concern which all students ' should participate in." Some of the reasons why the new proposed Eve,rgreen Valley College needs the support of the voters, is that without additional facilities and funds, incoming students face these problems: -insufficient numbers of ·teachers to instruct the ever- increasing numbers of students ; -the possibility of taking three years to complete the normal two year program, because of fewer classes ; -inability of the college to purchase equipment and supplies, or continue existing programs necessary for proper education ; -the possibility that students attending SJCC may have to pay tuition fees ; -delay in opening and operation of · Evergreen Valley College would result in serious overcrowding at SJCC
