Chancellor Speaks To SJ CC F aCulty He commented that he thought it was " completely inappropriate" of the state legislators to keep praising the fine work of the junior college system, but not grant more funds to its operation. According to the chancellor, the junior colleges voluntarily slashed the amount of money in the current bill before the state legi s lat ure , from $185,000 to $160,000, in order to guarantee its passage . .

He continued by saying, "We invite and challenge-the--administration to answer to how the budget has been handled and refute the SDS accusations at next T uesday's rally." The administration said, according to Balter, the boycott will lose effect when it sta rts raining. "What we need" he encouraged, "is buses to volunteer to be ready on a standby basis to help and organize pickup spots. It'll only work if people help." The rally came to a close after a studentspeaker,SarnRhode,announced that he contacted the county registrar : and what students have to do he said, " is to pressure administration. I figured out how to do it," he said, "by petition."

~~Chicano Crisis In A merica,'' Lopez
by Paul Germain A Chicano crisis exists in America today, according to Enrique Hank Lopez, a former president of the Harvard Law School Forum. Lopez, in addressing a group of apprma mately 200 people in' the campus theater Nov. 23, outlined the progress of the Chicano or "Brown Power" movement.

City College s tudents head the latest development concerning the boycott at a Nov. 23 rally. The boycott is "still going pre tty strong," said Mike Balter, SDS speaker . He further stated that there is " well over $1000 the administration hasn't received from the new parking fee." He accused the administration of having more money in reserve funds than they admit ha ving. According to Balter , his research shows that there is at least three million dollars in the reserve funds, which the administration denies.

Among the points stressed by Lopez as contributing to the present "crisis" in the lives of Mexican-Americans was the language barrier which faces many member s of this large minority group. This problem, according to Lopez, is partially responsible for the high rate of high school dropouts among Chicanos, and also lea ds to a "supposed belief" that Chicanos are bi-lingual. He coined the phrase "schizo-lingual" to describe the manner in which Mexican - Americans imperceptively transfer, back and forth, from English to Spanish when speaking. He believes this makes them less bi-lingual than rr aay believe.
national periodicals, Blaming this "Brown-out" on the fact that aJI the media; advertising, news agencies, television, and radio, have their headquarters in New York, Lopez said that there is virtually no exposure to the Chicano community by the general populace in that part of the country. "Al most every commuter train heading toward Madison Avenue has to pass through a Black ghetto or neighborhood, the media executives cannot help being exposed to the Black
problem, '' claimed Lopez. :'This East oriented media group thmks that most Mexican-Americans are farmers," he continued. In closing, Lopez stressed the importance of infusing Mexican-Americans into every facet of American life includin g; politics, communications media, and most important-, education. "Unless we do (these things) we'll remain the most neglected minority group in America, " Lopez told his listeners.
Office Seekers Face Student Press Panel Six of the seven candidates for student government offices aired their views on a number of campus issues in last weeks " Meet the Student Press" program sponsored by the Beta Phi Gamma group on campus. The most prevalent issue during the program was the month old parking boycott. The candidates who hold government offices at the present time, Paul Sepulveda, AS president, and Anthony Alaimo, Director of Student Affairs, belived that the parking problem will be the most important issue facing student government next semester. Reedie Moore, supreme court justice, saw the major issue next semester as being getting the student council reorganized and adjusted to serve the needs of the students.
Sam Rohde and Beth Holland are vying for the office of vice-president. Rohde has been active in past political campaigns while Miss Holland is a relative newcomer at City College and active in the Student Health Center. Two students are running for the office of administrative assistant. They are Shirlee White and John Borba. Borba did not attend the second " Meet the Student Press" program. Future guests on " Meet the Student Press" will include a dministra t or of the Pl311ned Parenthood organization (local ) ; Sa n Jose Mayor Norma n 'Mineta ; California State Assemblyman John Vasconcellos ; and possibly San Jose Police Chief Robert Murphy.
Lopez also · explained that "most" Chicano children "learn in Spanish" during the formative "first five years of life." " T_h e~ they 'r~. required to speak English m school, he continued. "It's a built-in failure syndrome, " Lopez stated adding that it is the stubborn not necessarily the intelligent, who m~ke it through high school and on to college.
