a mile for 18 miles round trip per meeting and $8 for his lunches at the Rotary Club. The dispute is a serious foreshadow for City College's upcoming Women's History Week celebrations which begin Saturday when former San Jose Mayor Janet Gray Hayes and state Sen. Diane Watson, D-Los Angeles are slated to speak. The faculty's resolution would prohibit any SJCC/EVC Community College District employee from taking part . "~ur~g .regular di~tri~t hours, o~ ~tnct tune or at d.1stn~ expense lJ?- ~my orgamzatwn that disc~tes f<;>r any reason. Whil.e h<?th s1des agree that the resoluuon IS extremely broad due to it's nature, however Goff believes that the majority of the board feel that Rotary and his position on it are both important and "noble" to the city of San Jose and the district. "The Rotary has done a lot for City College through the grants and scholarships it has made av~lable," said Goff. "Rotary is an rmportant part of San Jose,
involved with helping out people who need it." The board will vote on the resolution next Tuesday and senate president David Yancey feels that the board will support Goff and it will uphold his reimbursements, though he admitted he couldn't understand why. "How can the district support Goffs position and then tum around and back Women's History Week?," said an obviously frustrated Yancey. Yancey stressed his concern over the board's mostly positive backing of Goffs position, but was quick to add that the community would not stand for something as fundamental as equal rights to be passed off so easily. "It would cause so much of an uproar within the county, the district and state, that the trustees would find themselves in a very lonely place," said Yancey.
