t 1. The board had voted earlier to rN only one student to represent

h San Jose City College and C despite protests from student ~~!!!!!!!!!ltV representatives of both col·

leges and despite pleas from P! Crawford of the Faculty Senate and Dale Debold of the Faculty Council that both campuses have equal representation. In a heated discussion before the vote, board member Yancy Williams said that having two student members on the board · would be unworkable and that most campuses are represented by -only one member. Students have argued over con· stitutions and forms for years and then they walk away and find a new toy to play with," said Williams. Williams also told student,

Rick Hendricks, "This board has more to be concerned about than your personal opinion." Selection of the new student board member will be deferred until the Evergreen ASB can revise their selection procedure since they had planned election procedures for a representative from each college. In other action, the board voted · to have Conciliation Specialist Frederick Gray of the Community Relations Service of the U.S. Department of Justice serve as a mediator between the administration and the Third World Student Coalition on the implement ation of an Affirmative Action Plan. The board also voted to authorize the administration to advertise for bids for replacement of the District computer system. The new system when decided on could save the district an estimated $500,000 over a five year period. In other matters the board: --Heard a presentation on the effectiveness of the CHALUI Counseling Program --Authorized the sublease of off. ·, campus facilities for the Electrical , Appr~llticeship :aining Program.

Lopez says that her intention in locking doors has never been to exclude anyone from class. Students are never penalized for absences or tardies and any missed material is provided to the student who is late by herself, her reader or other students in the class. Her intention is to create a condition of integrity and aliveness fitting to the discipline that she teaches, i.e ., Biology the study of life.

The protest is being orgoniz· ed by an Ad Hoc Student Protest Commttee which is not attacking the governow per· sonally b_uJ rather the fact that the State of Nevada has not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment.

Uebra Trublood are also enrolled." Dow said that when the semester began he thought the women might only last a week "but, they 've stayed in and enjoy it . It's a good way to work out physically, and boxing is good for self-protection and confidence." The class session begins as the students help each other put their gloves on. The students then pair up and begin their drills switching off while practicing punches. Then the students jumprope, one minute at a time. Dow says that one min· ute of proper jumproping is equivalent to running about a quarter of a mile. At the beginning of the semester the women tended to just "mix it up" with each other but, now they box with the men in drills and on a rotating l;lasis. "I also thought that I might have to adjust the class or get more equipment because of the women, but none of that was necessary," said Dow. "They find a lot of value in the class. I would encourage other women to think about taking , a boxing class also." Surprisingly there are not a lot of injuries in the class. The few that do occur are usually along the lines of a bloody nose or a knocked out contact lens. "The class is good for self-defense and it really gets you into shape," said Michelle Marcellino. "It's fun. I plan to take th is class next semester." "At first the guys didn't take us seriously, but, now they do. I hope that more women decide to take it" said Karen Fuuba. Everi if these women don't take another boxing class chances are that they 've learned enough to at least "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee." Look out 1Aii!

Dear Governor O'Colloghon, We are co-chairpersons of the Ad-Hoc Student Protest Committee, formed in response to your proposed involvement in our school's commencement excercises . We hove acquainted ourselves with . your personal stance on the issue of the Equal Rights Amendment. We applaud your efforts on behalf of women in Nevada , but · as you represent an unratified state, we must protest the lack of foresight on behalf of our administrators in inviting you to our campus . We respectfullt submit that you decline the invitation to speak. We feel that you will understand fully the importance of this issue. Time is of the essence in the passage of this amendment and we cannot

afford the luxury of patience in this matter. Therefore, we plan to stage rallies , demonstrations, and will actively protest your appear· once at the graduation cere· monies , should you still choose to come. Even the Bood of Supervisors of Santo Claro County has voted to boycott unratified states. We find the implications inherent in the blatant disregard of women by the administration of Son Jose City College appalling. The boycott is the most viable power at our command and we will use every tatic available to protest thi.s undermining of our cause. We urge you to reconsider your decision. Respectfully, Ad-Hoc Student Protest Com· mlttee.

3 students seek top AS B position By Dorie Panopu101

Three Son Jose City College students will seek the office of ASB president in the Associated Student Council elections Wednesday and Thursday. According to Charles Tote, director of academic affairs and commissioner of the Elections, there hove been three applications turned in for the office of President, one for the office of Vice President, but none for the office of president over the elections of the post when there was only one candidate running for office. At on election meeting held earlier this week in the office of Charles Tate, he briefed the candidates on several of the major e lect ion proceedures and some of the major rules which need to be ,followed during the election campaigning and the election itself. None of the candidates seemed to be bothered by the elections procedures which they must follow. Candidates running for the office of President are Robert Ramirez the current Associated Student Council President; Hugh Lilly and Mike Galvan . There is only one candidate running for the office of Vice President. She is Frankie Yourgulez. since there is no one running for the position of Administrative Assistant, someone will be appointed to the post by the new Council President. Editor's Note : Due to deadlines, the Times was unable to cover the Candidates Forum or the Nom ination Assembly held out in the quod Thursday. Please look for the results of these events in the nex t week's issue of the Times .)

CANDI~ATESSTATEMENTS

PRESIDENT ROBERT RAMIREZ - The reason that I decided to run for the office of president again is because I feel that the students ore now com· ing out of their holes, and they wont to get involved. I also initiated some plans that didn't get completed along with some programs which also didn't get completed . I'm not finished w ith my job, that's what I'm saying . I wont to finish, and I wish that the students would give me a chance to finish it. I do wish that there would be more students involved in the student government. I'm also going to try and get the students more aware of the problems that we are facing here on campus. HUGH LlllY - The student government presently in office at City College is totally ineffective. I think that the student government should be a student government for all students. I also think the 11 a .m . meeting time for the ASC makes it inconvenient for all stu· dents to attend. M IKE GALVAN - I ~ould like to make the general student body aware that the student government exists and that they represe·nt how the students feel on vital issues to the Board and the Adminis· t rotion. I think that all groups of students should work together in unity for the betterment of Human rights . I wou ld like to see the student government begin to do some worthwhile things and do them well.
