NUMBER 9

A proposal asking that the faculty and staff at City College help the students with their boycott of paid-pa rking lots was presented at the November 16 meeting of the Faculty Senate. Virginia Sandoval, adminis tr a tive assistant, presented the proposal with the support of several other students in attendance and ASB P resident Paul Sepulveda, which passed with only one opposing vote. Miss Sandoval's proposal asked : • That the faculty and staff join the students with their boycott. • That they also work to organize car pools. • That they demand that the dis trict provide buses to be dr iven by s tude nts in the wor k-study program. • That the faculty demand that they (the Board of Supervisors for Santa Clara County) r emove the " no parking" signs at the southeast end of the college. • That the faculty write letters to

''P·o cket Book Effect'' Stirs Student Interest by Pete Moylan Apparently student apathy can be measured inversely to the amount of money students are forced to spend to get an education at City College. Recent activities in r egard to the parking fees h ave involved mor e students than any issue on campus in many a semester and it may pay off for them.

· A Nov. 16 rally drew one of the largest crowds of any out of doors rally this the board requesting a meeting to campus has ever seen.

Property owners, that he felt those who pa id the parking who a re both students a nd faculty, fee already join the boycott, as a matter realize they are paying the fee in addition to the taxes used to run the college. of principle.

When one of the students in attendance at the meeting asked college president Dr. Otto Roemmich if he had a parking card, he promptly pulled the card out of his wallet, He was then asked if the Board of Trustee members, who initiated the fees in the first place, ha d paid the fees, and he said the Board is exempt from any fees for parking. One student, after the fina l vote was taken, was heard saying it was a bout time the faculty and the students got together to support something.

Protest against the fees can go in one of two directions. Students and faculty can separately decide upon plans of action and separately go about carrying out those plans. This, however, happened with the child care center. Too many groups had their own ideas of how the center should be operated a nd as a res.~.Jit, no center is . yet a reality. The administration is banking on this kind of disunity to break the ba ck of the boycott.

However, if students, faculty, property owners and whoeyer else might be interested in the problem were to get together, then there would be a powerful block to ba ck demands upon the administration. Students have been organizing, albeit haphazardly, to effect this type of unity. A group of students representing a number of campus organizations are planning to form an ad hoc committee to unify the effort to have pay parking repealed. Early discussions seem promising in that the students are not relying on the boycott and rallies alone to fight the parking fees. An attempt will be made, for instance, to get the outside community involved in the protest. City College has a reserved emergency fund of one million dollars, none of which is being used for parking. That means that tax dollars spent by property owners are in a bank while they tighten their belts a nd pay exhorbitant property taxes. For the property owners who attend and teach a t City College, the parking fee is an added burden that should have been taken out of taxes they have a lready had to pay. Other discussion included forming car pools and increasing the pressure of the boycotts. Another question raised by all this is how long will AMPCO, the company which attends the gates a t the entrances (Continued on Page 4)

The Student Press"

Pr esident Roemmich Speaks on Campu s Issues Adminis tra tive policies concer ning parking financing, the student boycott, and a reserve fund were the main topics of discussion in a new college series last Thursday. Dr. Otto Roem!)lich, city college president, was the guest speaker at the initial installment of "Meet the Student Press" which is sponsored by the campus Beta P hi Ga mma organization. The four student-panelists asked many questions of Dr. Roemmich exploring possible solutions to the parking problem. A question concerning the formation of a special tax assessment district similar to the one set up by the West Valley J unior dollege District was raised. This syste~ would take the burden of parking lot financing off of the students and place it n the taxpayers of the community. <A suit is cur rently in cour t con erning the legality West Valley assessment district

1n rt>a r !>rl'l ).

" City College has explor ed the possibility of setting up a tax assessment district, in fact we have been looking into it for a year and a half or more ; we've had a ruling from the city attorney in San J ose. The West Valley District, up until this time has used a tax assessment district, but they ha ve been sued and they are in a court of law, a taxpayers suit, saying that they may not do this," Roemmich stated. Dr. Roemmich went on to say that if the court dectdes in West Valley's favor, the college will explore the possibility of the program' s feasibility in this district. When asked by a high school member of the panel if the fees for parking would be raised in the fut ure, Dr. Roemmich replied that $20 is the maximum amount allowed by the educational code that a student can pay for parking per semester. He speculated that the fee may be r educed eventually. Dr. Roemmic·h was asked if increa sed public bussing would be suppm:ted by his

adm inistr a t ion to benefit s tude nts removed from the central college area. He replied that the city government and the college wer e working very closely on this and that in six or eight months the city of San J ose may r eceive federal funds to help implell)_ent a communitywide transportation system. During the audi ence par tic ipation portion of the program, Dr. Roemmich was asked if City College ha d a r eserve fund, how much the fund contains, and if a portion of the money should be used to provide par king. " We have chose not to take money from our operating budget to provide parking. Legally we do not have to provide parking." When requested to differentiate between the operating budget and the r eserve fund, he said, " Tha t's a ll part of the operating budget, but we do have a reserve that is not scheduled to be spent this academic year." Asked again how

much money was in the reserve fund, the President answered, " a bout a million dollars." One member of the audience accused that the parking fee is discriminating against the poor student who cannot afford to pay 25 cents each time he exits the parking lots. Dr . Roemmich answered that charge by saying : · " We don't feel that it's discriminating against anyone because it is not mandatory that you buy the fee or pa rk on the campus." · Peter Stensrud of the Radical Action Movement <RAM) questioned the effectiveness of the quadr ipartite system that the college uses in volving re presenta tives of ' t he stude nt population, faculty, administra tion, and the governing board <Boa rd of Trustees). He believes that the effectiveness of the system is worthless, as the governing board has entire control. Dr. Roemmich answered, "Yes, the

board does have the legal authority of the system, but they have approved your (s tudent governmen t' s) budget, approved your expenditures ; I have never known them to r eject a nything that has come before them regarding money spent by the students." Stensrud then commented that RAM had had a request for guest speakers denied by the college administra tion. The speakers in question were Huey P . Newton and Willia m Kuntzler. " I have never rejected a request from the students or the facul ty for a speaker on this campus. There never was a request for Kuntzler or Newton that came to me," Dr. Roemmich concluded. Other topics discussed by the president were : Chil d Car e Center - Dr. Roemm ich said tha t th e fi r s t proposal by the college submitted to the Board of Trustees was rejected and that another program will be

presented to them a fter the first of January. If approved, the center would be funded with money from a 'permissive tax override.' Rally Scheduling-Rallies cannot be held at times other than the college hour <Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m.) because they tend to disrupt classes adjacent to where they are being held, according to Dr. Roemmich. Evergreen Campus - Because of the failure of the recent district bond elections, the opening of the new Evergreen Campus of the San J ose Comm unity Coll ege Distri ct s cheduled for 1975 , will most probably be delayed a year. En t erta inm ent F un d · Dr . Roemmich said tha t the $250 Entertainment Fund recently approved by the student counci l is intended to provide guests of the college with refreshme nts dur ing officially sanctioned functions.

By Jeanne Cialek Claims that birth control information and devices, pregnancy testing, and abortion referrals are non existent on m.ost campuses have, at least in part, been refuted by City College Nurse Elaine Rohlfes. The charge originated at the recent Women's National Abortion Action CWONNAC) !Conferemte held , a t the "trni versit)' of California, Berkeley. It was echoed by students who participated in the Nov. 20 march and rally in San Francisco - organized to demand the repeal of all abortion laws, no forced no and sterilization restrictive contraceptive laws. FREE TO ALL The Drop - in center, established last fall, has complete a initiated program to aid female students in dealing with unplanned pregnancies and their prevention. The cost of all aid offered is covered by the $3.75 health fee required of each student upon registration . A full time doctor, George Peden, joined the City College staff to administer the family planning program. The program includes free pre gnancy counseling, abortion and testing referral , if that is the decision of the woman seeking aid. ABORTION COUNSELING Counseling, performed by both Dr. Peden and Miss Rohlfes, includes discussing

all the options open to the student once her pregnancy has been determined. If, after viewing all the alternatives, she decides upon abortion, the different types of therapeutic abortion are explored, along with their possible physical, financial and psychological consequences. An appointment is then made with a doctor in the San Jose area, taken from a l ist of doctors available within tli~ patients neighborhood . These services are provided nearly free of charge to any female City College student, the only cost being a Pap lab test fee of $3.50. Male students seeking aid for wives or girlfriends are not turned away, they receive preliminary coun~ seling and then are referred to a county or private organization facility where they can receive further help. PREVENTION PLAN Prevention of unplanned pregnancies is carried out by making birth control pills a vailable to any City Collge woman for only the price of apthe prescription proximately $1.50 per month. Information dealing with the acquisition of and use of condoms, and other contraceptive devices are also available through the Drop in center. "The idea was to keep a large number of girls who dropped out of school because they got pregnant," states Dr. Peden, who in

merely because they had suddenly remembered that this Monday was the first day of pay parking? As your article went on to state~ unpicketed lots were also semi - vacant. Obviously <but then not so obvious to this paper), the student body doesn't need an outfit like the SDS to tell them that it is better 'to park for free than it is to park for a quarter. So then, it should have been possible for this paper to write the article even before the event occurred. I don't think it surprised anyone, especially Dr. Peterson, dean of student services. No gift of phophecy · nor doctorate in economics is needed to understand that a person would rather park for free. If the underlying intent of

Attendance at their meetings goes something like this : one girl SDS organizer, a couple of RAM activities, four non· students, a reporter from the "Times", a college ~d minis tra tor, two secunty policemen, a YAFer and one old gray dog.

Jaguars Triumph In Finale Tie For 3rd, A Gaine Back. Ending the season on a winning note was all the City College Jaguars could do for themselves Friday night, but it wasn't enough to carry them to the league's top spot and a state playoff berth. Their resounding 28 ~ 3 triumph of offense-minded Diablo Valley College rounded out the Jags' 1971 slate, which stands at a 5 - 2 mark. But they fell a game short of the.loop leaders, and had to settle for a third place tie with Chabot. College of San Mateo, which suffered its only loss to the Jags, and Laney College, which squeaked by C i~ b! a mere point, both finished the year· with 6 - 1 standards to finish in a first place tie. By virtue of CSM's earlier victory over Laney, the Bulldogs advance to the state J C football playoffs. Diablo Va lley, which had been averaging nearly 20 points a game coming into Friday night's encounter with the Jaguars, was limited to a first quarter field goal for their final tally. This score was set up on one of City's 3 fumbles, all of which were lost to Diablo. The Jaguars got a fumble back on Diablo's 20-yard line later in the quarter. Quarterback Dave Gonzales hit flanker John Gurich on a 14yard aerial to slice the distance to 6 yards. Halfback Frank Bistolfo covered the final yardage to put the Jags on top, and a lead they never relinquished.

Pegged as a rebuilding year,especially in the defensive backfield and the receivers, the Jags fell only two points short of representing t.he . Golden Gate Conference in the state playoffs. Their onepoint loss to Laney turned out to be the margin when · the Jaguars upset San Mateo.

night, the final score stood at 28 . 3.

Individually, the Jags had three players competing for the top slot in league offenst ve categories. D..t ve Gonzales, who has only seen half a season of action, finished second in pass completions behind San Mateo's Don Nava, but posted a 58% completion mark, the tops in the loop. Frank Bistolfo bounced back from an injury-ridden start to gral] a second place finish in rushing behind Chabot's sensation, Larry Aguiar. Bistolfo rolled up 749 yards and averaged over 4 yards a carry. His 180 totes led the league.

When the dust had settled, the College of San Mateo had emerged as the GGC champion, by virtue of the Bulldog's 51 - 7 drubbing of • hapless Merritt. But Merritt did more than lose a game to help San Mateo capture the crown. Laney College, the surplace second prising finisher, actually picked up two victories last Friday. First, it was announced by Merritt that they had used an ineligible player in their upset victory over Laney earlier in the season, so they were forfeiting that decision. This left Laney with only one conference defeat, eliminating San Jose City College, which had dropped two conference contests.

Photography Displayed ;I n Library ·A n exhibit of 30 photographic reproductions, representing the works of women photographers from 1935 to the present, is on display in the City College library. The exhibit, compiled by Edward F. Shuster, City College photography instructor, features the color and black and white photographs nine women photographers noted · for their outstanding work.

Count Dracula, City College's Asa Berger, enjoys a pleasant chat with KTVU's Bob Wilkins.

Shuster developed the showing to "help inspire the capable qualities of women in this area of photographic expression, which can readily utilize women's compassion, insight and perception." He hopes more women will take interest in ,photography.

Only In America

, Selected pieces of handblown glass, ·created by David Adams, is also on display in the library. Adams, a graduate of City College, is currently working on · :his master's degree in ceramics, at San 1Jose State.

(Editor's note: This is the second of a three part series dealing with the administration. In this segment, Dr. Otto Roemmich reacts to charges made in part one. Part three, to be printed Dec. 8, will disclose the administration structure.) by Pete Moylan Dr. Otto Roemmich is the president of City College and as head of the administration bears the brunt of most of the criticisms of the administration. But Roemmich is also superintendent of the community college district and is directly responsible for his actions to the board of trustees. The dual role, which he has held since 1967, frequently creates problems. " I don't think, sometimes, faculty and students realize that I am responsible to the board, I am employed by the board," Roemmich says. Roemmich says that the time spent carrying out the functions of superintendent interferes with the actual running of the school. He delegates most of that responsibility to Dr. Ge.r ald Strelitz, assistant superintendent of the district. " I think that some of the faculty sometimes feels that I don' t represent them ," Roemmich explains, blaming his s uperintendent's position. "I don' t agree with that position. When I think the faculty is right I do challenge the board." He does add that the final vote is held by the board and if the board doesn't agree with him, there is nothing he can do about it. " The board represents the people who elected them ," says Roemmich, defending the four-man, one-woman group that governs the community college district. " I think the board expe<:ts that the administration and the

faci.ilty are going to be on their toes to meet the needs of the students in a changing society. "I think we ha ve responded far beyond most colleges in the state to the changing needs in society," Roemmich adds, reacting to the charge that the administration is not willing to change. " I'd like to know what students feel, I'd like to hear from the students what are the areas where they feel the college has not responded to change." The president, who received his Doctorate in Education at the University of Southern California sent a letter to the student government stating that he would be willing to set a time and place where students could rap with him on any subject. Communication " I had a little deal going called dialogue with the president," Roemmich said. " We didn' t get enough students out even to count. I sa id I would be willing to try again. I 've heard nothing." Roemmich says students and faculty make generalizations a bout a d· ministrators who reportedly aren ' t aware of what their duties entail. He says he could put his finger on the administrator if the student or faculty member were more specific about those instances. " I've had students come into this office and say 'Look, I've got a problem .' I say what's your problem and we take care of it," the superintendent says. "I think students, be fore th ey generalize or criticize, they should get the facts," Roemmich recommends. "They have an obligation to get fa cts just like do. k d · · t t " I I th· l ays get h t t biD a ml Irus ra ors al. w I th"nk s o a y peop e who genera tze. I

it's unfair and I do wish the students who have a problem would go to somebody. They knowwheretheDeanofStudentsis. That's a good place to start," Roemmich states. He points out that his door is always open, also. Administrators Roemmich doesn't agree with those who say that there are too many ad· ministrators. He says there may be some minor areas in which duties overlap, however. "I don 't believe we have too many administrators in comparison with other colleges the size of San Jose City. We are understaffed," Roemmich explains.

" Where the faculty has said we have too many administrators, I've repeatedly said and I continue to say we have way too many departments," Roemmich retorts. Roemmich feels the critics of ad· the ministrators don 't realize what problems of a~inistration are. "The critics just simply say, 'gee, I wish I had a nice job, sit up there in that big chair, wouldn't that be great.' They really don't know the problems you have in a community, in a college of this size, the complexity of building a campus for 10,000 students." Roemmich believes that the dual role

he holds should be split. An individual supel'intendent, a president of City College and a president of Evergreen Valley College would give the colleges the a utonomy they need. However • he points out that the final decision on that matter is up to the board. Experimentation The administration has also been accused of not being innovative enough, which Roemmich flatly denies. " We are experimenting all the time," he states emphatically. "I can show you th e evidence. The first year I came to this ca mpus there was no money in the budget for research and development. For the past two years I have had $10,000 in the budget.'' This year, according to Roemmich, that figure is up to $25,000 for experimentation and innovation. Fa~ulty members simply had to submJt a proposal. "We've had about 15 or 20 proposals, we've approved 14 proposals and all the money is committed. Now if I didn't want to rock the boat, I wouldn't do a silly thing like that. 'I' m a great believer in innovation," Roemmich adds. " I think some of our deans are doing great things with the faculty with experimental programs. I think we have to keep doing these things." As a res ult of this, Dr. Roemmich believes, that City College ranks with the best community colleges in the state. "I'm convinced we have gone further and faster to meet the needs of students, to set up new and experimental program s than 90 per.cent of the ~alleges. " I'm convinced of 1t because I ve seen it " he adds. '"The difficulty is that people don't

know it because they are just here," says Roemmich, referring to those who feel City College's educational standard\ may not be up to par with neighbo · junior colleges, " they don' t see it out there like 1 see it. We are a good college." Transfer Roemmich said he would stack up Clly College's transfer program against aaY junior college and expressed confideact that very excellent teaching was a major reason. . Despite the high praise for the transfer program, the president thinks thert ought to be a greater emphasis 011 vocational education. "The two key functions of the c:oJB· munity college is to provide general transfer work and to provide vocational education," Roemmich describes. He points out that only a bout 30 to ~ per cent of the students transfer and !hal 75-80 per cent of the curriculum is geared to academic subjects. "I do think we have a responsibiUty to train people in vocations so they can ge . out in the community and say I'm training for that job and that's what I want to do." "But for students who say that the trend is that we are going to become a vocational school, I don' t poSsibly see that happening," responds Roemmich. Despite the various charges leveled at the administration by students, he still feels they are responsible people and should have a voice. " They should have a voice in running their own associated student body, their own money," Roemmich states. "I'd like to see our students get involved in the evaluation of the instructional program. We are not there but I'd sure like to see it. "
