Elaine Flores, backed by the folk
music of mariachis, dances in
celebration of Diez y Seis. The

from Spain. The entertainment

The proposed amendments state:
•Out-of-class speakers invited by
organizations should be approved by the
student activities office and reported to
the information station in Fletcher Ad-
ministration Center.
•Students may not be forced to be a
member of the audience unless it in-
volves a class assignment.
•The speaker shall be accurately iden-
tified in all publicity and the distinction
made that the speaker is sponsored by
the organization and not the college.

of nearly 100 students about 12:30 p.m.
“When the officers asked him if he
had gotten permission, he said God had
commanded him to speak, and he didn’t
have to get permission because there is
no higher authorization than the word of
God,” O’Keefe said.
Arriaga lay down on the sidewalk and
was removed from the MLC area to the
campus police office. On the way to the
office, Arriaga tried to pull away from
the officers to return to the MLC area.
He was handcuffed at this time, O’Keefe
said.
Corporal F. Salinos, a campus police
officer who escorted Arriaga off college
property, said Arriaga was told “he
would be arrested for illegal trespassing
if he returned.”
Wright said the 33-year-old Vietnam
veteran was removed from campus
because he failed to comply with regula-
tions found in guidelines for student ex-
pression and demonstrations. The docu-
ment was drafted by Wright and approv-
ed administratively in the fall of 1978.
The pamphlet states all student
demonstrations and/or expressions are
“to occur within an area located at the
west ends of McCreless and Gonzales
halls and within the confines of the con-
crete area between the exits of the
buildings and San Pedro Avenue.”

“We’re going to watch them first and
see if they can live with it. If there were
complaints, we would check it out and
change the (thermostat) settings if the
computers or musical instruments didn’t
function,” Christley explained.

munity College District Board of
Trustees last summer approved this col-

The committee on campus organiza-
tions will study proposed amendments
for speakers in extracurricular activities,
the student activities director said
Wednesday.
The director, Larry Adamson, said
tion would be taken in October.
He explained, “The proposed amend-
ments are not unlike the current
guidelines except they are more specific
in what is allowed. They were drawn up
in April, but not pursued because of the
time element.”

Government chairman named
The new government department chairman, Bill Byerly, said
his career as a government professor was an accident.
“I was planning to go to law school. When I finished my four-
year degree, other obligations had grown to the point that I
could no longer pursue a career in law,” he said.
Byerly said a position opened here. And after 11 years as a
government professor, he is impressed with higher education.
“1 think the older you get the more realistic you get. I’m not
that impressed with lawyers anymore. I am impressed with
higher education and scholars. I have learned not everyone is a
Christiaan Barnard or F. Lee Bailey, he said.
Byerly replaced Paul Woodruff as chairman this semester
when Woodruff decided to return to full-time teaching.
Byerly thinks it is important to make government relevant and
entertaining.
“Most students come here with a predisposition about govern-
ment because of the way it has been presented in high school,”
he said.
"I don’t understand that. It’s not just because I teach it, but I
think most people should find it interesting,” he added.
The West Texas State University graduate said although the
chairman position would have more problems than teaching, he
welcomes the change of pace. •’
He said he sees chairmanship as a communication link bet-
ween administration and faculty.
Byerly is a native of Pampa in the Texas Panhandle.
He is a volunteer Emergency Medical Service worker for the
Comfort area on call two or three times a week for 12-hour
periods.
“I was concerned that I didn't know about the new
developments in first aid and was basically concerned something
might happen in my family. A simple procedure might save a
life,” he said.
continued.
“He didn’t have approval of the col-
lege,” O’Keefe added.
Students who witnessed the incident
varied on whether college officials should
have permitted Arriaga to speak without
going through proper channels.
“Basically, he was saying most people
were here to learn, but they weren't lear-
ning very much because they weren't
Christians, Dave Kuebler, freshman
engineering major and a witness to both
speaking attempts, said.
“I think the speaker was
under control, and they should have let
him speak,” Kuebler said.
However, Ben Crenshaw’, a freshman
business major, differed with Kuebler.
“The officers should have done it
sooner. They told him to stop speaking.
He just walked away and started talking
again. This happened twice,” Crenshaw
said.
Keith Wilson, a freshman, said the
college interfered with Arriaga’s rights.
“He wasn't doing anything wrong.
They let the Iranians pass out informa-
tion all the time. They interfered with his
basic rights—his freedom of speech.
From what I saw, ‘Jesus Christ’ was all
he was saying," Wilson said.
Sam Martinez, freshman, said Arriaga
picked a bad place to preach.
“If it had been me, I would have done
it in a better place, Martinez said.

Assembly elects Bailey
suggestions for revision to Associate
Dean Jay Benedict.
Neundorf said portions of
guidelines are not clear to him.
The assembly voiced approval of ideas
for faculty seminars presented by Glen
Hamilton, chairman of counseling and
guidance.
The seminars to be arranged by Lynn
Quintanilla, counselor and coordinator
for handicapped services, include one on
epilepsy.
Lynn Green, community development
specialist with the Texas Rehabilitation
Services of the Epilepsy Foundation of
America, will speak.
Also approved was a seminar about
devices to assist the handicapped, in-
cluding devices to aid in writing, speak-
ing and laboratory work. A speaker from
the Impart Program of Southwest
Research Center will conduct this
seminar.

designed to make improvements in older
buildings to save energy’.
Christley said he did not know when
the funds would be available if the col-
lege qualified.
The car-pooling program, another
energy saving means of this college, has
grown to 349 spaces this fall. Lot K was
reserved for the program which includes

“I finally came to the conclusion I’d be good at speaking. I liked children
and preferred working with my mind than my hands.”
“I went back to school. In 1952, I entered the University of New Mexico
because it had low tuition. I paid $50 for 15 semester hours,” he remembered.
The intent to finish his education was short-lived.
“In November, I got drafted into military service. Even then, I was a cons-
cientious objector. I still am. I object to killing,” he said forthrightly.
After basic training, he was sent to Oregon where he worked as head cook.
“The first chicken I cleaned was in the Army. I’d cut along the bones and
take the meat out — boning the meat. That’s what they called it,” he said.
In November 1944, he was honorably discharged and finished his degree. He
became a teacher and has traveled to different states for pleasure.
Last August, Cibek re-entered school at the University of Texas at San An-
tonio through a state program for senior citizens whereby as auditors they may
listen, ask questions and take notes.
“Auditors may not take classes for credit, don’t have to do homework or take
tests. I’m carrying 15 hours this semester,” he boasted.
He’s also gotten a taste of student pastimes.
He leaned forward and with twinkling eyes confessed, “About two months
ago, a friend took me to a disco downtown. She almost dragged me to the floor
by the collar. I learned a few steps and liked it. I’d go again at least to look at
the ladies, but the music’s too loud for my ears.”
Cibek carries a black case covered with bumper stickers with politicians'
names. He emphasized, “I believe in voting for the person and not the party.
“I didn’t like the Panama Canal giveaway. We paid so much in money and
with human lives. The mosquitoes in swamps near the canal brought death to
many Americans,” he said.
He shook his head and added, “Carter’s the worst president we ever had. He
gave away the Panama Canal, recognized Communist China and disowned
Taiwan. Now he wants Congress to pass SALT II. I’m 100 percent against
it.”
He also is concerned about Soviet troops in Cuba. Snapping his fingers, he
said more forcefully, “I’d invoke the Monroe Doctrine. This is our sphere of in-
fluence. The other side of the world has nothing to do with our two continents. "
Cibek begins his day before dawn.
“I get up at 4:30 a.m. After breakfast, I read for an hour. I take the bus at 6
a.m. and get to school in half an hour. My earliest class is at 8 a.m. and by
noon, I’ve finished.
“I do my best reading in the morning, and I try to get in all my
assignments,” he explained.
His plans are to go back to teaching or counseling.
“I’m going to keep taking courses at SAC as long as they offer courses I like.
I’m going to keep up with life as long as I can think. I might sell my house here
and return to Florida because I like to lie on the beach and listen to the surf,”
he said.
But that is after he finds his dream woman.
“My philosophy of life is: Life’s not worth living unless I have a woman as
my wife,” he said.
•A minimum of 15 minutes shall be
reserved for questions and free discussion
when the meetings deal with controver-
sial issues.
•Candidates for public office will be
scheduled and facilitated on a non-
partisan basis.
•All candidates for the same office will
have an equal opportunity to visit the
campus under similar conditions.
•The director of student activities
should notify the associate dean for stu-
dent affairs of the candidate to speak on
chair- health care management coordinator, a position dissolved two
years ago. Since then he has taught management courses.
A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Tuck earn-
ed a master’s degree in hospital administration. He served 23
. . years in the Air Force as a medical service corps officer and
this is a tremendous opportunity, and I hope I am able to retired as a major.
make a contribution,” Tuck said. Tuck enjoys reading, history and political science. He un-
I'uck has been on the faculty here since 1914. He was hired as winds after a long day by bicycling.
Arriaga did not speak in this
designated area and failed to acquire
written reservation for this area 48 hours
in advance through the office of student
affairs, Wright said.
Wright said Arriaga was “disruptive to
some extent,” and this also contributed
to his removal.
The guidelines define “disruptive" as
any of the following:
• Blocking or in any way interfering
with access to any facility of the college.
• Inciting others to violence and/or
participating in violet behavior, i.e.,
assault, loud or vulgar language spoken
publicly or any form of behavior acted
out for the purpose of inciting and in-
fluencing others.
• Holding rallies, demonstrations or
any other form of public gathering
without prior approval of the college.
• Conducting any activity which
causes college officials to be drawn off
their scheduled duties to intervene,
supervise or observe the activities in the
interest of maintaining order at the col-
lege.
O’Keefe said Arriaga was in violation
of all the regulations.
“He was definitely interfering with
traffic to and from MLC,” O'Keefe said.
“The part in No. 2 that states ‘any
form of behavior acted out for the pur-
pose of inciting and influencing others.
certainly applies in this case," O’Keefe

ing to assemble a package and submit it
for bids.
Lewis Fox, economics department
chairman, suggested having a represen-
tative of the chairman’s assembly on the
committee to investigate insurance. He
said he was concerned about decreasing
benefits.
“We lost many good things from the
previous package, and we don’t want it
to happen again. This is our money we
are talking about. It’s not something the
college is providing any longer,” he said.
Fox pointed out the state of Texas
pays $35 per month per employee for in-
surance.
In other business, Bailey suggested
Norman Neundorf, chairman of the
drafting and construction department,
outline changes in guidelines for faculty
promotions to present at the next
meeting.
Neundorf asked the group to make

— have been turned up to 78 degrees

221 of Nail Technical Center where
waxes and other materials would melt.

The Department Chairman’s
Assembly elected Dr. Roger Bailey,
English department chairman, chairman
of the assembly Tuesday.
Bailey replaced Dr. Kenneth
Shumate, chemistry department chair-
man, as chairman in the one-year posi-
tion.
Dr. Margaret Matthaei chairman of
the psychology department, was elected
vice chairman, and Betty Culbertson,
chairman of the child development
department, secretary.
In other business, the group instructed
Bailey to meet with President Jerome
Weynand to discuss the assembly’s
representation on an ad hoc committee to
choose health insurance for 1980.
Dr. Johnny McCain, history depart-
ment chairman and a member of the
former insurance committee, said the
contract with Blue Cross-Blue Shield of
Texas expires in August and that an ad
hoc committee will be formed in the spr-
