Would pqy for sglves

Manager Richard Cleland,Shrum said it would be wiser tospread the meters around,"because it would make moreareas of the campus more easilyaccessible."

Shrum said the meters wouldprovide close-tocampus parkingfor visitors and "occasiorialstudents" who do not want tobuy a $5 parking permit. He alsosaid the meters would pay forthemselves quickly, and provideample money for upkeep.

The initial cost of installing themeters would be taken fromFCC's "Parking Fund" - madeup of dollars from permitpurchases, and from the college'scuts on ticket fines.

Police suggest l5 porkingmeters in Yoried lorotions

by Jon llrueeSt¡ff lltriter

Campus Police Chief KennethShrum, asked by the President'sCabinet to work out a solution tothe college's parking problem,has recommended that ?5 park-ing meters be installed in severalareas around eampus.

The plan to install meters hereis not a new one, he said. It hasbeen considered for the pastthree or four years. But therehas been some indecision as towhether the meters should begrouffi together or scattered indifferent parking lots.

ASB Senate President TimSheehan, in a tentative responseto Chief Shrum's propos¿l, said,

"I believe it would be muchsimpler to ereate a new parttimestudent permit for night stu-dents...or students with sixunits or less.

"People who don't want to buypermits," Sheehan wrote; "c¿nsimply park off tampus."

Shrum has recommended thatthe parking meters be placed asfollows: 10 in Lot Q, 18 in Iðt C,8at the west end of Lot C, 12 atthe east dnd of Lot B, 18 in Lot F.These lots are on the south andeast sides of the campus.

rolly downtownWith the Harrisburg incident nearly over, it is time for us to

re-evaluate our own views and feelings ùoward nuelear power.

While it's true that nuclear power has the potential to meetthe country's energy needs, too mauy of the publiCs concernswith nuclear power have not been answered. Sueh concer¡s aswhat will happen with waste material? Nuclear sabotage? Theprospect of other nuelear accidents, and here in California, thepossibility of earthquakes occuring on nuclear sites?

People for Sat'e Energy (PSA) were on campus yesterday andtoday asking support for a rally tomorrow in front of the PG&Ebuilding downtown, at noon, to protest the licensing andopening of the Diablo Canyon plant.

PSA Chairperson Grant Marcus had this to say: "The Diablonuclear facility, built on a f¿ultline, is incapable of withstandingthe earthquake potential in that area.

"PSA will do all that they can to stop Diablo from beinglicensed and operating. IVe do not want a Pennsylvania tohappen in Oalifornia. Building plants on or near fault lines is likeplacingou lives in nuclear double jeopardy. Chances of nuclearaccidents are that much greater here in Californi¿, and will bethe most unpiepared for."

It seems ihai even though the Diablo plant has beenreinforced to withstand an earthquake that measures up to 6.7on the Richter scale, it has been estimated that a quake in thatarea could reach as high as 7.5. Hard to believe? ln'l9?il t¡earthquake in that area \vas measured at 7.31

In 1971, Craig Sawyer, anattorney for the U.S. EoualEmployment Opportunity Cbm-mission, had this to say in hisaddress to the Nationâl CivilService League Institute onTesti¡g and Selectionr

"The basic nature of employ-ment discrimination is not'gütbigots. The Kerner Commission'saccusation of institutional racismwas received by most whites inthis country as some kind ofpereonel indictnent rgeinetthdm to which they moralþ,'hadto respond. Their usual responsewas, 'My best friends are...'

"If you hurl that sameindictment agpinst employers,their response is,'There are notenough qualified, it's hard to find ,

them.' Not true. ,Most employ- |

ment praetices are institutionallyraeist and that's not an indiet-ment of anything, that's anobservation of fact."

My family, along with manyothers, was settled in Texas longbefore it was a part of the U.S.Needless to say, the majority ofthe population then, as well asnour, was of Mexican descent,But when my father was goingthrough school, he was only oneof the two "Mexicans" that madeit to the high school level!

You say that people should beable to make it on their ownmerit.. .Are you also implyingthat there is no prejudice? Youmake reference to "reversediscrimination," but fail to realizethat before a person can claimreverse discrimination. theremust first be "discrimination."You say that Affirmative Actionprovides jobs to people, notbec_ause they are possibly qualified for them, .but despiie itl

Congress had this to say,"Congress has not commandedthat . the less qualified bepreferred over the better quali-fied simply because of minorityorigins. Far from disparaging jobqualifications as such, Congresshas nmde such qualifieations theçs¡t¡plling f¡ctor so that race,

,religion, nationality and sexbecome irrelevant. Iì¡hat Con-gress has commanded is that anytests used, must measure theperson for the job and not theperson in the abstract." (40f U.S.424-197Ð.

Do you still believe people cauand will be hi¡ed on their-merit?The woman who, a few yearsback, filed a complaint of sexdiscrimination in Clevelandwasn't. She had applied for aposition as a newssaster for anOhio radio station and wasturned down. The station mana-ger told her, the station didn'thire female newscssters, because"news coming from a womansounds like gossip..."

In other words, the youngwoman was denied employment,rot because her partieular voicewas unsuitable, but bee¿use tothe ears of the station, all womenwere unaccept¿ble for newscsst-ing.

As for your comment thst"blachs had the right to beignorant, and to use theirigrrorance as a fou¡dation forunwaranted att¿'cks on go:veru-ment." Don't you think it would ebe more ignorant to sit b¿ckpassively and not, object io a m¿nthey didn't vote for and who hasmade it clear that he will not beable to represent the people hedisagrees with on so many

As an organization with a40-year history of struggle forhuman rights, we wish toregister our outrage at the policesurveillance of the educationalrally held at the Mall clock towerabout the crisis in lran.

All permits required underlocal ordinances had been ob-tained by the sponsoring organi-zation, U.S. People's Committeeon lran.. Nonetheless, at leastseven members of the FresnoPolice and Sheriffs Departmentswere present observing andphotographing people in theaudience.

One camera was used from aconspicuous position behind thespeakers platform, another froma concealed position in thewindow of Room 216 of theSecurity Bank Building.

There is no legitimatè purposein surveillanee and photograph-ing people who are. exercisingtheir constitutional rights offreedbm of speech, assembly andassociation.

Not only does such sur-veillance inhibit citizens fromenjoying their constitutiqnalrights; it also wastes taxpayers'money which would be betterspent to protect the corfimunityfrom real crime.

This acüivity parallels a historyon the federal level of wastinR

tax money to bankroll repressiveregimes abroad, and allowingsuch organizations as SAVAK,the Iranian Secret Police, tooperate in this country.

Locally such waste of lawenforcement resources has beenexceeded oríly by the use of lEofficers to raid the last Lions'charity gainbling event.

Only recently has the press-inthe U.S. begun to acõuratelyreport on the events in lran,where a national liberationstruggle has been escalatingduring the past year.

This underscores the necessityfor rallies such as the one held onDec; 20 where people candissseminate and eschange infor-mation about the situation inIran and especially the factsabout the involvement of theu.s.

Had this surveillance been anisolated incident, it would havebeen bad enough. A pattern,however, is- discernable in the

'history of poliee obstruction ofFirst Amendment Rights inFresno.

During his sophomore andjunior years, Tavlan played r

keyboards in a band called BlueDiamond Rust, made up withsome of his high school buddies.He stayed with that band for 2'lzyears. After that, he played:keyboards for Mainsqeez, agroup from Hanford, for aroundsix months.

When he came to FCC, he lefthis name at Sun Productions,hoping some band would givehim a eall. Shortly after that,John Dutra (owner of Sun and atthat time the leader of Touch)gave Jay a call and ¿sked him toaudition for Touch as a keyboardplayer.

The Fres¡o City College track team this season hasn't onceused the track at Ratcliffe because of mud. It seems to me a pitythat the st¿dium, owned by the SCCCD, doesn't have its trackdone over in an artificial surface. It would be much better tohost the West Coast Relays on such a new surface.

It also has been found out that the upper 2,6(X) seats do notmeet earthquake standards: Boy, did the SCCCD get stuck witha white elephant.'Maybe they should pay the track and fieldathletes' gas eosts to CSUF's all-weather track.

Meanwhile, here at FCC, the baseball team was in athree-way tie for the first half crown in the Valley Conferenceleague standings. A playoff this week úas-to determine thewiner of the first half crown, who will be the home field teâmagainst the second half winner. \

The swim team has ended itsleague dual-meet season with a

'victory over Sacramento, and isþokjng ahead to the ValleyConference Çhampionships thiiF^ri{ay and Saturday at bollegeof the Sequoias.

Coach Gene Stephens sums upthe team's league season likethis:

"It closed on a happy note.just like it,,opened on a happynote, even though in betweensometimes it wasn't so happy.l'

Often enough, Stephens said,the "element of lúck" wentagainst the FCC swimmeis. .

Three of thein league swimmerswere.lost with a six-point-orless ,

margrn.

Nonetheless, the swimmersbeat Sacramento 'last Friday,62-51 in the men's division, 85-41in the women's.

l'It was a close meet." said' Stephens, "but we broke it openwhen we took a first ¿nd tliird

. place in the backstroke.l'

. He said. that Sac City's pool,;built originally for reõreaiion.not competition, is an indoorpool, 35 yards long.. "Our team isaccustomed to a 25-yard pool," hesatd.

FCC ,is joining with Collegethe'Sequôias to host .¿he Valley

'Conference meet this weekend.'Stephens said the meet will behcld at COS because the poolthere is "faster,'; beins built üith"scum-gutters" tha-t ìr,allow

much of the pool's turbulenceduring races.

The swim team, said Stephens,has'lestàblished bott¡ shoit end

LETTERS'

AffirmotiYe Action ossoiledAlthough I have become

increasingly loathe to countersome of the idiotic, erroneous,and,/or trite commentary appear-ing in these pages of late out ofthe well-reasoned conviction thata sound and subst¿ntive attackon substandard presentationsmerely serves to confer anelevated level of dignity to thosepresentations which they cannotmerit of their own accord. Icannot abnegate my deepseatedcommitment to fostering awidespread understanding of theintent of the Framers of theConstitution and the essence of"Americanism" by permittingthe recent epistolary assault onthe electoral process, authoredby "Kokayi," to go unanswered.

That "Black comment on WestFresno 'crisis' " is a testimonialto the proposition that people inthis country not only have all ofthe rights enumerated ih the Billof Rights, and not, only have allthe rights hysterically assertedby Kokayi, but we also have theright to be ignorant and use thatignorance as a foundation forunwarranted attacks on thegovernment.

The issue at hand revolvesaround the electoral victory ofJoe Reich Jr. in the race for thecity council post representing thewest side of Fresno; it seemsthat Mr. Reich right-thinkinglydenounced the concept of Affir-mative Action employment pro-grams as being antithetical to theAmerican concept of equality ofopportunity, and for that com-mendable and constitutionallyproper stand he has beenstupidly identified as a racist bysome misguided "minority"groups who would naturallyprefer to be granted jobs incompensation rather than to earnjobs in competition.

Mr. Reich correctly recognizesthat the Constitution is color-

blind and -hence cânnot beinvoked to sanction any sort öfinstitutionalized preferentialityfor ethnic : groups. He alsorecognizes, as would anyone whobothers to think about thematter, that any program foremployment which patronizinglypreaches the message to mem-bers of a particular racial groupthat, "since we all know youcannot rise to a level ofsuccessful, objeetive competitionwith others, we're going.,to seethat you receive the job withouthaving to compete," is' outra-geously, denigratingly raeist,and such is the case withAffirmative Action.

Such a program articulatesand codifies the propositionadvanced by the most hatefuland hateable of white supremiststhat someraces are intellectuallyinferior to WASPs: is that thesort of slap in the face thatKokayi wishes to defend?

I would hope that most"minority" individuals woulddenounce such a manifestlyinsulting program; I know thatparticular "minority" acquaint-ances of mine who have becomesuccessful by industriouslydemonstrating that they are thevery best in their respectivefields have little empathy fortheir "brothers" and "sisters"who want to succeed merely byrhetorically bellyaching aboutimagined and real past injustices.

The hallmark of Americanismis individual liberty to utilizeenforceably equal opportunitiesin the pursuit of happiness for all.However, the good (and constitu-tionally intended) offices ofgovernment can only be invokedto maintain a vigilance that theopportunities for which it isdirectly responsible remainequally accessible to all; it cannotmandate de jure preferentialityfor some to compensate for de

facto discriminations, past orpreseut, against that same"some."

(An interesting aside relatingto Kokàyi's vitriolie implication .

that blacks have been disenfran-chised by Reich's election asthéir west side represent¿tive tothe City Council since theirdistrict is predominately blackand he is a white is the curiouslyoverlooked fact that Joe,:lVilliams' (a black!) district,which he has most ably repre-sentèd for some time now, ispredominately white! Methinksthe Kokayi doth protest-toomuch.)

West siders were no more, "denied their right to legal

representation" by Reich's elec-toral victory than were thosewho voted for Ggrald Forddenied legal represèntation bythe election of Jimmy Carter. JoeReich shall most ably representhis and all city districts, and notas an advocate for "minority"special interests, but as astandard bearer for the funda-mental p¡inciple of equal oppor-tunity for all without regard torace or'sex.

If more psychie and intellec-tual energy were expended in

. the pursuit of cerebral aggran-dizement than in venomific,righteous self-pity, there wouldbe no cause for cries forcompensatory programs. If onedoes not have enough pride inhis/her own self-worth to breakout of the shackles forged ofobtusity, let him/her nit behearQ to assail the system or itsrepresentatives; the fauli shaltlie not in the government'sincreasing reluctance to prop youup, dear Kokayi, but in ,yourpersistent lethargy to lift your-self up in substantive andmeaningful ways.

Mike Kennedy

Affirm qtive Action d efendedMr. Kennedy:

You're damned right theConstitution is color blind! Foryears the only color it recognizedwas white. What a short memoryyou have, Mr. Kennedy. Is it thatyou don't remember how it wasbefore Affirmative Action cameinto existence, or that you don'twant to know?

lVhen minorities had to pay inblood to even get into apost-secondary institution, andonce in were made to feel likethey didn't belong and weren'twanted there.

When they graduated, werethey hired on their merits?Unless the company wanted"tokens," most preferred to hire

"more acceptable" people, andused every means at hand to doso. . .including using,so-called"standardized tests." But don'ttake my word for it, let merefresh your memory with thisexerpt from an article by E.Richard Larson, senior attorney,National Law Project.

"Civil service systems, fromtop to bottom across the country,currently face one of the mostserious challenges since theirformation. This challenge isframed by litigation and legisla-tíon aimed at eradicating thediscriminatory selection devicþswhich pervade civil servicesystems.

"Particularly significant in thisframewoi'k is the Supreme

Court's recent deeision in Griggsv Duke Power Co. establishing asa matter of law, that non-jobrelated employment selectiondevices which exclude a dispreportionate number of minoritYgroup applicants from emPloY-ment are unlawful.

"Applying this principle topublic employment systems, onereadily discovers that the selec-lion devices originally adopted topiovide fai¡ and unbiased em-ployment opportunity are nowbeing used to exclude vastnumbers of minority grouppersons from employment andfrom promotions."
