New Club Forms As Result of -'Strike' Information from local, national and international sources will be distributed to the student body by a new organization . being formed on campus. The idea for the formation of the group · was announced at last Friday's "strike" program by Bruce ~ Siggson, speaker for the group. Siggson said that the school had started a good thing by having the speakers on campus, and in order to keep the good thing going a club would be formed to circulate information to the students about important issues, to keep them thinking. "If the views are presented then · the students will make the right choice. We have faith in the student body," Siggson said. · He also stated that the club will try to have subscriptions to most of the magazines and newspapers that deal with national and .international problems, in order to keep students informed. According to Siggson, the club will try to set up a table where students can pick up literature. He said they will try to keep from presenting only one side of any issue and will .be open to information from any source. Siggson's announcement came after the appearance of off-campus speakers Dr. Herman Yeager, philosophy instructor at Cal State, Robert Machado, Peace and Freedom
Party candidate for state assembly, and Pete Vigil, student body president of Chabot College. Dr. Yeager spoke on the philo· sophical and moral question of the draft, quoting from Isaiah in the Old Testament and calling for students to refer to their personal code of morality when judging the .draft. He directed several of his remarks to the "young ladies" in the crowd who were encouraging their young men to go off to war, and told them that if the war should result in a total call-up they too would be required to serve. Machado's remarks were directed toward the U.S. policy ·in Vietnam, saying that it is a sick society that_ spends $58 per year to help · each poor person and $300,000 to kill one Viet Cong. He went on to criticize the U.S. support of "dictators" in South Vietnam, saying that the U.S. had denied free elections in that country and installed "right-wing dictators." When questioned as to when the last free election in North Vietnam took place, Machado answered "That's not the point. There will never be free elections in North or South · Vietnam, so what are we fighting for?" Vigil spoke on the civil rights movement and said he was alarmed by the "we's and they's" students were using when speaking of the

He also expressed his disdain at the "tokenism'' of renaming bridges and parks after one of our leaders has been slain, instead of doing something concrete to change what is causing the problem. He said he was appalled by the type of people this tokenism appeases. History instructor, Dean Frazer~ was called in to speak by Steve
Bammel, student body president, who was moderator for the program, an said that he agreed with Bammel's call for students to commit themselves to the vital issues of the day. Frazer also said that the constant that man has had the most trouble coping with is the constant of change, and that, "If we all commit ourselves to change we may
once again make this society into the great thing that we in history teach it once was." Psychology instructor, Finis "Pete" Wilson, who opened the program, summed up his feeling about the possibility of having more speakers in the future by saying "I hope the response to future speakers may be that we may learn to love one another.''

come an annual memorial day to Dr. King, that campus seminars to explore inter-racial relationships be established, and that more courses concerning minority groups be given in history and science. Workshop - committees recommended that student government leaders al$O favor intensive recruiting of ghetto Negroes into the teaching field, that the first week of April and the last week in November, be designated "Brotherhood Week," that a Human Relations Commissioner be established to promote better inter-racial understanding, and that more Negro instructors be hired. Another committee favored setting aside one week annually for the Black Student Union to collect funds for poverty areas with all such drives conforming to the State Attorney General's rules.
Congratulations By Chairman Sears Wes Sears, chairman of the bo~rd of trustees, issued the followmg statement to the Saints' Herald: "I think that too much has been said in the press already. I will have more to say after we can have a board meeting and also a meeting with student leaders. I think there has been an over supply of mis-information. I attended the presentation, (Friday's •istrike") and I would like to congratulate our students on the manner in which · they conducted themselves."

Saints Lose Two Contests
CCR Held Saturday: Dean Finishes Sixth
With only four games remaining, Ohlone needs to win each one of · them to even its present 4-8 rec- . ord. The Saints lost their last two contests, 8-2 with St. Mary's varsity squad and a 13-1 drubbing ·by San Francisco State. In the State game, Lance McMicken went the distance for Ohlone, giving up 13 runs on ten hits. But six Stat~ runs crossed the plate courtesy of five Saint errors. Jim Hedgecock proved to be the biggest Ohlone bat in the game, rapping three hits out of four trips to the plate. Norm Wanlin and Bob Meade added a hit each for the remainder of Ohlone's hitting attack. G.oing in the St. Mary's game, Jim Hedgecock and Bob Meade led Ohlone in batting, Meade sporting a healthy .497 and Hedgecock not far behind with a .400. Hedge-

Start/Finish Action starts tomorrow at Laguna Race Circuit in Monterey with practice and qualifying for Sunday's United States Road Racing Championship race. Expected entrants for this year's race include Mark Donohue, 1967 USRRC champion, who will be driving a McLaren M6-B powered by a fuel-injected 427 chevy; Moises Solana, who won the opening race of the series in Mexico City, and local favorites Charlie Parsons, 1966 USRRC champion, and Don Wester. Donohue won last Sunday's USRRC race at Riverside, and will be trying to gain the edge in point standings with a win at Laguna, the only .track he has not won a USRRC race at during the last two years. Monterey's Don Wester will be driving a somewhat rare 910-H Porsche, a roadst'er of the type used to win the European Hill cJimb Championship last year.

for the whole weekend and haven't made motel reservations in advance, better take a sleeping bag. Most motels are booked solid. If sleeping in your car or on the ground ·turns you off and you just want to come down for Sunday's race anyway, come early, as it's not unusual for latecomers to spend half the day waiting to get in.

The course will usually be open for a short tiine between races for you to cross over, but be ready to move as soon as it opens, the course has to be cleared in a hurry to get ready for the next race.

Their last match will be held May 17, against Hartnell College. Playing in wind and rough weather, Ohlone was defeated by Cabrillo College 28-2. Mike Pope was low with an 84. On the Pasatiempo Course in Santa Cruz, all the scores were high. Jack Kettering shot a 91 along with Mike McCarthy 97, Dan Berge 98, Paul Cook 99, and Gary Dankwardt 100.

This Saturday Ohlone's track team will participate in the Coast Conference Relays held at West Valley College. The Coast Conference has allowed Ohlone to run in any contest it wishes. The following members will participate in the following events: Steve Dean in the 2-mile and the mile; Fred Garcia in the triple jump; Terry Jacobson in the 100 yard dash; Terry Dilbeck and Dennis Baker in the shot put; and Fred Gardiner in the 120 high hurdles. This league meet will have all of the teams that Ohlone will face in its first league season next year. Laney and DeAnza are favored to win. The other teams entered are Solan'o, West Valley, Gavilan, Menlo, Monterey, Cabrillo and Hartnell. The Saints cannot get any points for placing, but if any members finish in the top six, they are allowed to go to the Northern California Championships held in Fersno on May 11. Last Saturday Dean ran in the Northern California Junior College Track and Field Relays at Foothill College. He was the only Saint to qualify for the event. Dean ran the 2-mile in the time of 9:51 to take sixth place. With a field of 46 entrants the race did not count in team standings. Sacramento City College won the meet and tied a national mark in the medley with a time of 3:22.8. There were several other records broken. San Jose City College set a meet record in the 440 yard relay with a time of 41.0 seconds. American River College broke a meet record in the two mile relay with the time of 7:45.6 and the City College of San Francisco set the record in the •880 yard relay with a time of 1:25.5. With the season coming to an end, Ohlone has done a fine job in its five starts. They have faced tough competition and will be ready for next season. The league will be called the Coast Conference league with Solano, Hartnell, Gavilan, Menlo, Cabrillo, and Ohlone making up the teams. Track will be one of the sports along with football, basketball, and baseball. There is a good csance that wrestling, swimming, golf, and soccer will have league competition.

Psychology Instructor Wilson Likes 'Dealing With .Humans' Having spent three years as a research psychologist at George Washington University and at the University of California at Berkeley, psychology instructor Pete Wilson has a preference for teaching. A junior college instructor for more than twelve years, first at Bakersfield College and now here, Wilson has enthusiasm for the close student-faculty relationship which has developed at Ohlone. "I want to be with the college as it grows and develops," he commented. A research project, financed by a grant from the U.S. Public Health Department, brought Wilson to Berkeley. At Berkeley, he studied the psychological characteristics of juvenile delinquents. For two years he worked for the
Army on a contract basi,s during the Korean Conflict at George Washington University. His work there consisted of studying leadership abilities and small group behavior as they related to combat efficiency. "Teaching is more satisfying," said Wilson, when asked whether . he preferred teaching or research. "You deal with people as humans rather than as objects to be studied and manipulated." "One of the main reasons I got out of the research business, was that it was inconsistent to my values as a psychologist," Wilson explained. · Receivmg his B.A. and M.A. at Fresno State College, he has lived in California for 21 years.

Kansan, born in Dodge City, Wilson has also lived in Fresno, Bakersfield, Berkeley, and Monterey. He views the Bay Area as •'Where it is happening." Mr. Wilson felt, however, that there was less of a spirit of community in the suburban area, as compared to a small midwestern town. Wilson, his wife Vesta, and their three children, Billy 17, Cindy 15, and John 11, share an equal liking f6r camping and fishing which is exemplified by frequent camping excursions during the summer months. On one particular trip, they spent 63 days traveling across the United States and Canada. The Wilsons, who camped for all but five days of the trip, traveled east to New York, north to Canada, and then west towards home.
Patricia Buckner recently renounced her position on the counseling staff to join Chapman College where she and her husband, Paul, were elected to serve as team counselors aboard World Campus Afloat. After the Buckner's departure from New York City, Oct. 10, 1968, they will sail to Dublin, London, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Lisbon, Rome, Athens, Tel Aviv, Catania, Barcelona, Las Palmas, Freetown, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Punta Arenas, Santiago, Lima and Acapulco. They will return to Los Angeles after spending 50 class days, eleven Sundays and holiday at sea and 49 days in port. When qYeried about her international interest in education, she related it to her life as an airline hostess stating, "Flying was an impressionable and abounding experience in human relationships, and the present occasion for world travel and counseling students simultaneously with my husband is a sterling panacea!" "The World Campus Afloat holds promise to fulfill my international quest for the acquisition of a real understanding of the family man and a genuine discovery of the inherent values of various cultures
throughout the world," she further explains. In addition to her new position this fall, Mrs. Buckner and her husband are also looking forward to chaperoning a group of American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) students to Europe this summer where they will assimilate the world life of a select European university in Perugia, Italy. She stated that the AIFS experience differs from the WCA program in that the latter encompasses a full semester encounter at sea, where as the former is basically designed to fulfill · the needs of the students de.siring to pursue summer study in particular parts of the world. Study on board ship has been developed to promote profound personal, social and academic growth. The world laboratory, the S.S. Ryndam of Dutch registry. is a 15,015 gross-ton aquatic vehicle including complete facilities for first-hand encounters at sea. Mrs. Buckner is also a licensed Marriage, Family and Child counselor and is planning to pursue private practice with her husband in San Francisco upon their return: Students interested in either the . AIFS summer trip to Italy or the WCA fall program should contact Mrs. Buckner in B-32.

SAINTS' HERALD
Eclitorial
Strike vs. Bond Issue Several comments by residents of the Fremont-Newark area have been overheard which had the affect of, "If Ohlone has any more of those strikes they sure won't get that bond passed." A "strike" is considered by most individuals as a refusal to work until certain demands are ' met. The proceedings · which took place here last Friday cannot be labeled as a "strike." Approximately one-half of the students who had classes during the time scheduled for the "strike" attended their classes. Students who did attend the proceedings were primarily from classes whose subject matter somehow pertained to those subjects presented at the "strike," such as history, sociology, psychology and political science classes.· There was also no violence of any kind during this "strike." All of these facts have been (hopefull:y) presented in local newspaper·s, but it seems as if some people only read the words "strike at Qhlone" and come to the conclusion "If Ohlone is going to become another Berkeley, I'm not going to vote for the bond." These people must somehow be reached by students who can convince them that Ohlone did not have a "strike" wjth violence or destruction. Ohlone students quietly listened to educational speeches which will further their own understanding and help them to form their own opinions on pertinent issues now facing our country. The type of "strike" Ohlone had is not something to be ashamed of and is actually more beneficial than harmful to students.
Guest Editorial
Youth Shows Maturity The quiet, "let's sit on the lawn and listen" "strike for peace" they had Friday at Ohlone College served to spotlig.ht the radicalism, extremism if you will, of some of those who would mislead our youth. Fortunately, ·but not really surprisingly, most of the college youngsters are not so gullible as to be taken in by the ranting, raving demagogues like Robert Machado. This was all too clear Friday at the Ohlone campus. With official sanction, the students sat quietly under the palms while the liberal view · of the so-called "New Left" were expounded. There were few outward signs . of either approval or disapproval of the views propounded. R~ther, there was an abundance of penetrating questions as provocative statements were challenged and queried. The speake.rs with the valid and logical points found the going relatively easy and there was viable dialogue that couldn't help :b ut enrich the total student knowledge, regardless of any aspect .of agreement or concurrence. However, when attempts were made to enlist the listeners in an aspect of the "crusade" with a message unsubstantiated by fact, the speaker found himself up there all 'alone, figuratively, at least, with egg all over his face. Machado, particularly, was unable to withstand the obJective questions tossed at him from the audience, and whatever chance he might have had of winning some converts on an emotional appeal was lost out to the cause of logic and fair play. Reports from many other campuses (Columbia obviously excluded) indicate the pattern of Ohlone was . repeated elsewhere. It may well be the New Left overstepped itself in ·c alling for this spedal peace demonstration is now revealed as a micro minority, having few followers or believers beyond the hard core leaders.

ignored as a part of our ltistory and culture. The Negro is only mentioned as a slave and as a freed man in the post-Civil War era. We brag about all we have done for the "ignorant, inferior Negro" and cultivate this in the minds of our children. It is time that our educational system undergoes a change in program and admits and teaches the truth about the Negro, he is not inferior and he made many contributions to our history and culture. If we don't change we will become two nations, one white and one black, and will have to suffer the disgrace of failure to get along with our fellow man. We have to stop treating the symptoms of Racism and start treating the cause-ignorance. Douglas Alizewski All taking of human life• willfully by another for any reason is wrong. No man has the right, let alone the grounds, to deliberately take the life of another human being. Jeff Brown.
Dear Editor: Is the paradox that the have-nots are the first to join a movement or that those who join a movement are soon have-nots? Close investigation of members of the current peace movement reveals that on a whole they appear unkept, needing a hair cut or shave or both. They have an abundance of free time and energy; many are unemployed or living with their parents and attending school. These people are involved with an old and unpopular task . . . creating change. It is their end to sprea~ concern to the million other people . who presently have no sympathy for the peace cause. Close investigation of the members of the apathetic status quo reveals . that on a whole they are stereotyped in appearance; traditional in dress and custom; many are employed and are dependent on their jobs in order to live in their own value system. These people are uninvolved and fairly secure if they support the status quo. Their end is to continue. If these people, we of the status quo recognized as responsible leaders decided to allow their beards to grow unkept and allow their hair to grow long, then we might place a serious significance to the cur-· rent movement. But so long as our premise is to continue, we are faced with the decision to separate the responsible leaders from the members of the current movement on the basis that to follow the bearded is to join them., and this is not to continue but change! · If our premise is weak, then our means to achieve our ends are not valid. But our end is life; life as we can make it for ourselves. What-. ever power we have with which to make, rests in our acceptance of convention. Our premise is valid. Regardless of whatever value· we place on peace, poverty is no alternative worth risking, in order to establish it. Prove to the 'status quo' that without peace we are all doomed to poverty and we'll all have long hair, including the communists. Fred Boudreau. The opinions of the Ohlone College coeds only points out what the coeds do not know about the 'Pill.' The 24-year-old single girl who referred to "discs and spirals" should know that a I.U.C.D. can only be implanted in a woman who has had two or more children. Mrs. G. M. ·c.
