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)

.II
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.
