VFW SCORES LACK OF VA GI BILL PAYMENTS Veterans Administration officals today conceded to the V.F.W. that more than 2,000 veterans in the Los Angeles area, primarily Orange County, have not been paid G.I. Bill education checks for various periods. Ray R. Soden, National Command- er-in Chief of the 1,800,000 Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, expressed concern that this large number of veterans remain unpaid just before the Holiday Season. Soden said that he had been advised that the Los Angeles Regional Office was making a mas- sive special effort to identify each unpaid veteran and to see Look familiar?

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Now that the new physical education instructor, Mr. Davidheiser, is on campus, it is recommended by this committee that he meet with many students to solicit their opinions about the program before going to response Following is a response to the November 30 editorial concerning SGA budget'cutoffs. Due to Christmas vacation the response is somewhat delayed.

"Recently the Student Government Association cut off all funds for the handbook, literary magazine, school newspaper, and yearbook. According to the L tri C student Constitution, each club or organization must have a representative to the SGA. Unbeknown to the other staff members their representative mis~ed an ex- cess of three unexcused meetings. At this time the Publication's budget was cut off, but not without warning or notification. The constitution clearly states:

2. a. There shall also be one (1) representative, with voting power from each of the following:

1) Intercollegiate Sports 2) Communication Media (Includes Student Handbook, Yearbook, Expressions and the Reporter) 3) WLTC Radio 4) Program Committee 5) Drama 6) Ski Club 7) Vets Association 8) DECA 9) Phi Beta Lamba lOT MON AMI 11) PSO

b. Each representative from the above list shall henceforth be termed Delegate and Alternate, elected to S.G.A. by said club or organization their to

Also there were many verbal communications between the Reporter Staff and SGA about the attend~nce of their representative. ARTICLE V,Section B-2c should be enough of a warning for them to make sure that their representative attends the meetings. "Aren't the college's publications worth a simple memo or letter tri in- form them that their representative was missing meetings and their budget was in danger of being cut off?"

The Publications are responsible for their representative and should be interested enough to inquire with their representative as to what happens each week at the SGA meetings, and if they would, they would know if their representative was attending or not. "If time was at a minimum, and a letter couldn't be sent, aren't the Publications worth an SGA member just mentioning this fact to a publica- INTERVIEW: Mr. Peter Sell

Evidently, from what did take place, student Publications are not impor- tant. Either that or the physical strain of writing a letter or a 30 foot walK was too much for SGA to handle." A few senators have reported mentioning something to a member of the Reporter staff. Yes it is only a 30 foot walk, and it doesn't look like the physical strain would be too much for any member of the Reporter staff to walk that 30 feet. "The complaint rests in the irresponsible way in which SGA handled the sholw matter. They were rash and insensitive to any kind of compromise." I feel that the Reporter staff was irresponsible because they weren't interested enough to be sure that their representative was at the meetings. Compromise! We were never approached with ANY kind of compromise. "What would have happened if the Publication's budget had remained dormant? There would be no literary magazine, no handbook, no college newspapter and no yearbook. True, these publications are not an absolute necessity to the college but then neither are sports, or the drama elub performances or the cultural committees programs, or the game room or WLTC, or anything else." True that these other activities aren't necessary to the college, but they are surviving because of their interest.

Gangsters of Love - "6ai1gs.tersof· Love" - e:apitol, St-11237 "Gangsters of Love" is a new band with a new sound. There's a l~t of ood music on this album. Their music is a punchy, funky, rock-~azz, ~omplete with horns and latin percussion. All the songs were wr1tten by the lead vocalist and keyboard man, except for, "Sympathy for the Devil," which, of course, was written by the Stones. "I'm Gonna Keep On"" one of the best tracks on the album, features an ,excellent trumpet, and guitar solo. Some other f1ne. songs are "S'"orry, "Never Too Soon" and "Your Love, My Love". If you're looking for some new sounds y~u've got it with Gangsters of Love. Larry Lutz - W LTC Music Director

Joni Mitchell - "Court and Spark" - Asylum, 7E-l00l "Court and Spark" is Joni Mitchell's latest album. That alone should be enough reason for buying it; but if you need something more sub- stantial--just listen to the album. Ms. Mitchell's vitality and excitement are contagious. Vocals, as usual, are superb. They remain low key and interesting. The simple and yet complex lyrics, and Joni Mitchell's amazing ability to arrange her compositions make this a fine album indeed. "Raised on Robbery" is different. "Just Like This Train" is one of the better cuts musically; but all selections are good. Listen.
