Disclosures that a part-time physical education teacher taught a class that was part of his wife's teaching contract with the departmentchair' s knowledge was followed by the Faculty Senate's decision to reprimand three colleagues for unprofessional conduct. While the Senate refused to name their peers or the offenses, Tony Lynds, physical department chair, and Teri McFarland, volleyball instructor, told The Telescope at the beginning of the semester that McFarland's
'These are my peers, and I don't like addressing these issues.' Margie Ruzich President of the Faculty Senate husband, Duncan McFarland, had taught her advanced volleyball class last spring. Mario Mendez, associate professor of physical education, said last semester he
observed Duncan McFarland teaching a volleyball course that he later found to be part of Teri McFarland's teaching contract. Mendez said he informed the college administration of the situation, and the matter was kept confidential from then on. Mr. McFarland, who was the men's volleyball coach last spring, is an adjunct faculty member who, according to California's Education Code, can only teach 10 hours a week. With the three-unit course on top of the 10 units of coaching, Mr. McFarland topped off at 16 hours a week. Furthermore, Mrs. McFarland is a fulltimeinstructor whose pay rate is significantly higher than her husband's.

Clubs' plan to deplete ICC account delayed ICC members fail to see plans to obtain money from ASG realized By Francis T. Crowley
Staff Writer Four clubs' attempts to deplete the Inter-Club Council's monetary request account, which would allow the council to request more funding from the Associated Student Government, was put on hold.
WOMANOW, the Criminal Justice Club, the Parliamentarian Society and MEChA each requested $125 from the ICC at the Nov. 2 meeting , yet three of the clubs failed to present the proper paperwork, so the requests were postponed. According to Robert Jenkins, who requested the money at the
meeting, the organized effort of the four clubs involved depleting the ICC account for club use so the ICC could request more money from the ASG. ASG bylaws prohibit monetary requests from the ICC untilits funds are depleted. The organized effort of the four clubs involved requesting $125 for each club. The ICC has $505 remaining in the budget for club use, which would leave the council with $5 if the requests are granted. Jenkins said the issue was re-
lated to the politics of the ICC and ASG. "These clubs are not in dire need of the whole $125," he said. 'The problem is that we don't have sufficient funds to go to all the clubs." The ICC has an annual budget of $8,000, of which $775 is available for monetary requests from the 23 campus clubs each semester. "One way to alleviate this problem is to go to the ASG and ask for more funds to go into the ICC account," Jenkins said.
ICC Chair Aaron Klapka later confirmed the intent of Jenkins' strategy, saying, "I had asked the ASG for additional funds in the beginning of the semester, but was turned down." Denny Ngo, ASG president, confirmed that the ICC cannot ask for more money until they have exhausted existing funds. "That is the proper procedure for requesting additional money," he said. "If they need additional
