as president of the SJCC Board of Trustees, remembers holding the minority position many times during her ten years as a trus tee. The soft spoken, articulate lawyer was the first and only woman on the Board. " I really feel frustrated that more women were not hired in the administration." Her tone was serious. At one time, she accused, openings in the administrative posit ions were probabl)' not glven the exposure they deserved. But she mellowed. "That is not the case now. The Board would never get away with it." Convinced that "competent women administrators are in demand" she predicts that qualified · women will be hired soon. A Different SJCC Evergreen will bring the most dynamic changes to SJCC in the near future , cite9 Ms. Baum , in terms of hlring minorities, new programs of study, increased population and physical face lifting. "The Board was extremely far sighted to buy the land for Evergreen when they did. It saved the tax payers a lot of money." But her original position was to buy the land for future, not immediate use. "Thls is a great location for a junior college. I thought we should build here until the population warranted a new campus." Since SJCC is so close to the West Valley district, the Board was reluctant to build. But the attorney urged the trustees to invest more into this campus, which she feels prompted the financing of present campus improvements, like the athletic field, that " might otherwise have been ignored ." Ms. Baum never fully accepted the plans for Evergreen. But debating and policy making since 1964 taught her that " boardmanship" , or cooperation among Board members is the key to successful ruling body. She joined the trustees to supervise the construction of the new campus, "to make sure it was done ef· ficiently and correctly."
Herb Hafif speaking In Quad
SJCC has made some positive efforts to provide for women who have returned to school, which Ms. Baum feels is long overdue . She is particularly proud of the most recent aid to women, the Child Care center . "From behind the scenes, I was excited to be a part of the Child Care center. Women should be encouraged to go to school, and to make it possible, the Child care concept must grow. "It is as necessary to women as financial aid. u The Role of the Board After a long and thoughtful pause, the lawyer offered this criticism of the Board. "The Board has to become more independent and judicious. It listens too much to the administration and not to the faculty." She asserted that the superintendent has too much control. "The rift between the faculty and administration could be healed if the faculty were more involved in policy making. The faculty president should contribute more and be included in administrative work." Ms . Baum likened the Board to a court judge. "It is no more fair for a judge to listen only to the plaintiff's attorney and not to the defendant's , than it is for the Board to listen to the administration and not to the faculty ." The lawyer then confided that her sympathies are with the faculty and referred to them as "the essence of the educational institution." She admitted that the Board needs to become more well rounded. It needs at least one member with a background in education. Ms . Baum described her former cohorts on the Board as "moral and educated men" whose primary function (as trustees) is education. " o one on that Board is self motivated" she claimed. "They do not need the Board politically or for personal advancement."

Candidate
Speaks Here By Steven Abney "What is Herb Hafif? I am an idea, a concept - and tl}e concept is that the people can take government back for themselves ; they can tell General Motors to shove it." Answering his own question, Herb Hafif (pronounced half) , least known of the gubernatorial candidates, was drawmg attention to his grassroots campaign last Friday in the SJCC quad. Using a mix of flamboyant rhetoric and irreverent humor, the Democrat from Claremont lashed out at candidates Jerry Brown and Bob Moretti--on a variety of charges but, more specifically, on the images they are attempting to create with their 10 and 30 second television commercials. "We've reached the highest level of distortion and hyprocrisy represented by these slickly produced 30 second commercials," Hafif said. Attacking the special interest money that finances these TV campaigns, Hafif said, "The positions taken by the candidates on these commercials are hypocritical in light of who is paying for them . "The public must learn ttiat a candidate who has accepted $70,000 from an oil company is not actually going to be tough on his own companies," Hafif said referring to Jerry Brown's Perta Oil contributions. "Bob Moretti is talking about attacking special interest loopholes in his commercials but the commercials are actually paid for by the horse racing, insurance and liquor special interests," Hafif said. "As for William Matson Roth, I wasn't born rich, so I don' t have to publicly flagellate myself like Roth, " he added. (Continued on page 3, coL 2)

Students - Part Two
GI Benefits Brin g Adul t Students to SJCC Second of a Series By Arlene Wagner and Barbra Page After each war, since WW II, there has been a wave of returning veterans on the campuses throughout the ~ation . The Vietnam war was no exceptwn. The enrollment of veterans at City College hit 3,265 this semester which is about 20 per cent of the day class enrollment. "Most of the veterans work awhile or travel and when they enroll at SJCC they are settled, serious and sincere", said Alex Reyes, Veteran Affairs Coordinator. "Their problems are typical of any student, getting into the swing of things and adjusting to school activiti~s but all this is magnified when their government check is la te. This is the biggest problem of the veteran as he needs this check to exist." The average age of the returning veteran is between 21 · 24 years · of - age. However there are a few retired military on campus, some of wLcJ ar,e in t~eir 60 's. Among the veterans aL ;;;J CC 1s Joyce
Hall , a 27- year · old former Army nurse, who is a half- time student at City College. She is taking 6 units o£- classes , which qualifies her to $158 each month, and is working toward an AA degree in the Nursery School program by taking evening courses. " When I return to work in a year or so, I naturally plan to enter my field, nurnursery school program will sing, but the certainly come in handy for pediatrics," Hall said, "and I feel strongly that com· anything that allows closer municalion between parent and child is valuable ." "Even if I never use my recent raining in any professional capacity it will not be wasted," she added. When asked why she was going back to school, Joyce replied, " I was really getting tired of being merely a housewife and mother to my two pre - school children. I was beginning to feel that a ll I ever did was talk to little people ; that all mental stimulation had come to a halt. I needed something -- and this was it. " "Most women with small children and
no job with few outside interests will understand perfectly how I felt," Joyce continued. She said that she had never noticed any different attitudes toward her because she was older than many students, but that teachers and students were about the same as when she was a nursing major at San Jose State University. Several evening division students who were discussing education under the GI bill concluded that there were many different reasons for going to college.
en~r;;~~~n~i~~j~~p ..:haos !i;~e~~~ 0~~ known only as Richard . Richard, admits that he originally started going to school only to receive benefits and "rip - off" the government. " I never had any intention, when I first started, of becoming a serious student. I was taking the easiest classes I could to stay at City College and receive grades high enough to allow my payments to continue," he confessed. "But I feel differently now and recognize the value of an education -- it has changed my
whole outlook on life." "Because I was a black high school
drop . out who was drafted to fight in a stupid war, and lat~r married with three children, I was feeling pretty low - like I could never become anything really important or meaningful -- I felt like I was caught in a trap," he said. Richard said he thinks being drafted things that could was one of have happen to tm, "considering the with some future a fact that I now have promise other than a hand · to - mouth existence." "Of course, you have to come through 1t alive," he concluded. Unlike Richard ano~er veteran, who completely rematn to wished anonymous, said k" I jdined the service purpo ely to la .e a vanta~e of the educational beneftts," he admitted, "and boy am I ever. It was my only hope to eve~ get to college." He said he goes full time and would eventually like lo become a lawyer, "but that's a few years off since I'm still taking general education classes at City College." Some of the veterans, like Richard, at
th~lu~~t
first though of it as an opportunity to take the money and really get even with the "establishment" for forcing them to fight in a war they wanted no part d . Others had no definite goal in mind at this time, only to "better themselves" a little and perhaps allow them to get a better job later on. Some were taldng classes at the urging of their employers to allow them to rise higher in the business. And a few had plans to go on to a university for a degree, in majors ranging from Fine Arts Teacht~g. Architecture, Medicine and None of the men and women in~erviewed had any serious problems with lllStructors or other students, and all said that they received the same treatment at City College as anyone else. Enrollments, for what ever reason, under the current GI Bill have increased nationwide since 1967 when there were 468,000 enrolled. In 1973 there were 2.1 m.illion, and the amount is expected to cltmb to 2.4 million during the current fiscal year.

Only a rather small number of people on the SJCC 'Campus have any knowledge oi those occurances. Many notable people have made public appearances here, most of them during the 1960's. .:The college's virorous Cultural Series
·responsible for attracting top - flight speakers and acts to City College, and some of its past credentials are rather impressive. Back in 1959, the guest list was headed by Dr. S.I. Hayakawa and Vincent Price. During the early 1960's, anthropologist Margaret Mead, the Four Freshmen, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mahalia Jackson, Dr. King, and pianist George Shearing were among some of the world · renowned people to appear. The late Duke Ellington made several sojourns to SJCC, the last in 1972. Other noteworthy performances were offered by actress Agnes Moorhead, the Serendipity Singers, authors Vance Packard and Gore Vidal, actors Hans Conried and Theodore Bikel, comedian Mort Sahl and singer Barbara McNair. One of the most important reasons for some of these personalities' availability, according to Community Services Director, Larry Arnerich, was that not all had achieved the degree of fame that they enjoy now. "Obviously, there wasn't nearly the amount of money needed to secure those people as what would be necessary now," commented Arnerich. The amount of money floa ting around City College also seemed to be a big factor. Said Arnerich, "During some of the years in the early 1960's, the student body "donated" some $10,000 to the Cultural Series fund. That's bound to make a difference."

No Rise in Food Costs In spite of the high costs and demands for quality, prices in the SJCC cafeteria have not risen since September. Staniey Veltman of Cable Car Caterers , the outfit hired by City College to operate the cafe teria , attributes this to careful planning and cooperation among s tudents and cafeteria s taff. That 55 cents you shelled out for a 25 cent tuna fish sandwich in the cafeteria yesterday paid for more than tuna fish and bread.

Religion at SJCC Editor : A survey taken by Campus Ambassadors at City College this past yea r has revealed that , 94% of the people surveyed have a religious background. Of the sample 50% of the people had a Protestant background, 32% a Catholic background, and 18% had other religious backgrounds. Most of the people, however, had not continued in their faiths because 60% of them indicated that there had been significant changes in their beliefs. Two per cent claimed to be atheists, 28% claimed to be agnostic, 42% claimed to still hold Christian convictions, and the rest had no convictions . Of the people surveyed the biggest reasons given for their change in beliefs were due to thinking for themselves, learning other philosophies, and their concept of God changing. In explaining why most people have felt the need fo r a more personal and meaningful religious faith the most frequent responses were facing complex world problems, the need to believe in something, and insecurity . Forty - two per cent of the people wanted to find out how they could have a more personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The results of this survey did indicate the most of the people, although having religious backgrounds, did not really know or understand the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. This emphasizes the statement that being in a church no more makes one a Christian than being in a garage makes one a car. May you all have a wonderful summer. Roger Cozens ·
The Attica Brigade Editor: Two years ago a new Anti - Imperialist student organiZation called the Attica Briga_de began in New York on five campuses. In the last two years the Attica Brigade has grown to over 60 chapters in 20 states from the East coast to the South and Midwest and now to California. This rapid growth shows not only the need for a national student organization that can take up and coordinate struggles

agains t the system that oppresses, but it explodes the myth that the student movement is dead. Students have a lways taken an active role in fighting against the oppression of the people at home and ebroad. For yea rs students, along wi th many sections of the Amer ican people demanded an end to the war in Indochina . In 1970 thousands of students shut down their campuses in protest of the invasion of Cambodia , and the murders of students at Kent and Jackson State. In 1971 we demonstrated against the " secret war" in Laos and in support of the Vietnamese people. In 1972 we struck against the minings of Haiphone harbour, and bombings of Hanoi and Haiphong. In 1973 we demanded in demonstrations across the country that the U.S. a ccept and a bide by the 9 Point peace plan. And all the time, on many campuses students have been fighting against cutbacks in financial aids, to retain and expand Third World studies departments, and to stop the firings of progressive teachers. On June 15, 16, and 17, the Attica Brigade is sponsoring the firs t na tional student convention in over five years. It's high time we came together to form a strong, united organiza tion to fight against the system of imperialism. The conference will be held in Iowa City, Iowa, and plans are being made now to build for and organize people to go back to the conference, here in the Bay Area . If you see the need for an organization like this at your ca mpus or would like to join the Attica Brigade now and help build for the conference, or if

Sergeant Mills said that 80% of the people polled in San Jose felt that pornography has a deleterious affect on the communi ty and would like to see the porno stores closed down. This statistic is in contradicti on to a national survey of American public opinion sponsored by the Commission of Obscenity and Pornography which shows that a majority of American adults believe that adults should be allowed to read and see any sexual materials they wish. Perhaps one of the reasons that pornography has been tolerated in recent years is that, like prostitution and homosexuality, it is a victimless crime. The report of the Commiss ion of ObSTEP RIGHT IN scenity and Pornograph y debunked the old myth of pornography stimulating scenity has left the question of porlurid sex crimes when it reported : " Empirical r esearc h de signed to notgraphy to the individual communiti es. clarify the question has found no reliable Since each community is free to deterevidence to date that exposure to explicit m ine its own standards, restrictions sexual materials plays a significant role differ not only from state to state but in the causation of delinquent or criminal from county to county.
All seven of the downtown adult bookstores have had materials seized by the police and are currently involved in court ac tions. This is an example of the arbitary nature - of individual community standards . All the local hardcore theaters show films of explicit lesbian intercourse , but male homosexua lity in films is taboo. Total sales from pornograph y films and books, in 1970 in the U.S. was estimated to be between $537 - 574 million. All the adult bookstores are stocked with shiny, cellophane wrapped books and magazines devoted to bondage, sadism , fetishism, beastilaity and homosexuality . Most of the stores have ins~lled very lucrative individ.u al 8mm movte machines. Hardcore f1lms are available for sale or rent. Bizarre paraphrenli a, such as, life size rubber dumm.ies, and plastic reproductio ns of gentaha , are displayed for sale. Will the interest in pornograp hy eventually burn itself out? No one can say, but one thing is for sure - San Jose is getting a full frontal exposure.

The complex, located on Moorpark Avenue, in front of the football field will be completed hopefully by
the end of this month. Jerry Sanders, a construction inspector with the school district, said, " If we can get the water meter in, it can be expected that the complex will be ready for use in the Fall." The School District, which pur-. chased the property from Mr. Jay Van, for a price of $295,000 late last year, is paying $350,000 for the total
work being done. The complex, which features a soccer field , dis.:;us field, and baseball field, has been needed desperately , and has some interesting feat ures .

Lost in the Pack
R epo rte r Wh eezes to 1,5 00t h Place in S. F. Race ~ ~Times"
By Monroe Schacht There I was - with 5,500 other people, but why was I there'? They came from the Bay Area, Northern California, from all over the country, and even the far corners of the world. It was the largest foot race in history. Only about five years ago about 2,500 people ran in the race. This year, close to 5,500 people showed up and finished the greuling 7.8 mile 64th Annual Bay to Breakers race. The race, sponsored by the San Francisco Examiner, and put on by the Amateur Athletic Union, broke last year's mark by more than a thousand, stretched from the foot of Howard Street, near the Ferry Building, to the famed Beach, at the Cliff House. Feeling quite confident, having run approximately three miles everyday for a period of about five months I set an early goal, of finishing 2,000 or better in an hour to an hour and a half, but to my surprise, when I got to the Embaracadero Plaza, that Sunday morning, May 19, I wasn't so sure of myself. Yes, I was nervous, and wanted to get the thing over with. Arriving 45 minutes before the race began , and having to wait 25 minutes to get my chest number, it got just that more tense. After picking up my number, having never run that many miles although I've always kept in shape by jogging I ' headed for the starting line. There we1;e so many people there ahead of the starting line, including yours truly, the officials found it impossible to move the crowd back, and there was no starters gun used for the first time. I eventually heard, that it took 10 minutes for everyone to get completely across the starters line. The worst part had to be the first mile as I started very far up in the pack, and i seen hundreds, and hundreds of people pass me up the first mile, and I wondered if I could make it, but I decided to continue on. As the pack of maniacs made their turn at 9th and Market and headed for the toughest part of the race, the Hayes Street Hill, the sweat, started rolling off everybody, From a 75 - year - old man to the smallest fry, a four year old who ' made the entire distance. You could tell the climb was starting to affect people, as the steady climb of 12 blocks straight up was beginning to bother some. About the sixth block up a guy ru~ning just ahead of me was c~n centratmg ..o hard, be ran smack into a telephone pole, and I just about had to come to a dead stop. I asked him if he w;~s all right, and told him · , take a breather, but he said, " o wa; As we hit the top of the hill looking down, you could see miles of people
running, and I figured I had run to that point in about ID minutes. From Divisadero Street, you could see Golden Gate Park, and every once in awhile a spectator would yell at you to keep running, as there were all told 30,000 spectators along the course route. I decided to ask once I entered the park a veteran who had run. in the race before how much more, and he told me, "If I made it, as you did it in half an hour, it should take another half hour to cross the finish! ine." My legs were starting to tighten up, the feet, were sore, the mouth was dry but nobody was about to stop at that point. I met a guy about a quarter of the way through the park who works for Quantas Airlines, out of Sydney, Australia, and since he had never run the course either, we paced each other. At the quarter way point through the park you could feel the ocean breeze, and you knew the finish line wasn't far. At that point, a blind man, who was assisted by a friend , passed me up . The kick I thought I never would have, came, and the Aussie, and I started to make our move and, the first thing we were out of the park with about 1/ 2 mile to the finish. He decided to pull ahead, I made my move passed him up, and ended on a great day, other than some sore muscles, and some blisters. I finished in 50 minutes, and came in around 1,500. The race, which was finished in such bunched masses, so many spectators along Great Highway, an accurate count couldn't be taken after the SOOth finisher. After crossing the finish line, we found out Gary Tuttle, an obscure 26 year old, with the Beverly Hills Striders of Southern California, had won the race in 37 :28. It wasn't good enough to beat Olympian distance runner Kenny Moore, who had won it six straight times through last year , besting Tuttles ' mark last year by over a minute and a half. Moore, who works for Sports Illustrated, was busy in England, covering a story, and couldn't be there, but said he'd be back next year. l'Ll be back, too.
