NEW CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM BEGUN

Establishment of an external degree program in criminal justice has been announced by California State University, Sacramento, and California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, which are combining their resources to offer the program. Planned to lead to the Bachelor of Arts Degree in criminal justice, courses for the new program are being offered at the Cal Poly campus usin~ faculty of both universities.

Joachim Goldsmith, a member of Cal State Sacramento's Criminal Justice Department faculty and coordinator for the new program, said it is being welcomed by administra­tors of law enforcement and correctional programs in the Central Coast area of Cali ­fornia. "Forty-five persons are enrolled in the courses being offered this semester and indications are that at least that many more are interested. Those is charge of law enforcement and correctional activities in this area are really excited about the availability of a program for members of their professional staff," Dr. Goldsmith added.

Designed to benefit persons already involved in some phase of law enforcement or correctional work, as well as those who want to enter those fields, the new program will result in a degree granted by Cal State Sacramento, which is not new to coopera­tive programs in criminal justice. As outlined by Dr. Goldsmith, the program includes two different options or plans -- one for students who want to stress the areas of law and administration and the other for those who wish to stress the behavioral sciences.

Students who are community college transfers or have completed their lower division university studies can also choose to complete the curriculum in two years by attendin classes full time or in up to five years by going part time. In contrast with regular course offerings at Cal Poly, courses for the criminal justice program are being offered on a semester basis. Included are two 15-week semesters during the fall and spring and a 6-week summer session.

Courses currently being offered are on police organization and management, government finance, cross-cultural communication, and human development and social environment. All are meeting during the evening hours. Those desiring further information are invited to contact the Continuing Education Office, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Calif., 93407, telephone 805-564-2053.

Cal Poly Report - February 18, 1976 - Page 3

A campuswide committee of students, faculty, staff, and alumni at Cal Poly multi-faceted campaign on Wednesday (Feb. 11) to obtain funds

to alleviate suffering and provide help in the recovery of earthquake Led by faculty and students who have lived in Guate­

the drive, which will continue through the month of February, seeks All funds will be channeled through CARE which already

is at work in Guatemala. Charles Atlee (Crop Science), who spent four years in Guatemala on an Agency for International Development project, is -chairman of the campus committee.

Atlee, who announced the fund drive, pointed out that the devastation in the Central American Country, which killed 20,000, injured, 50,000, and left 500,000 people home­less has left the country, which had only minimal resources to begin with, helpless. He said assistance is needed not only to thwart famine and epidemics and to provide shelter for the homeless, but also to assist in the reconstruction of the country.

The drive at Cal Poly began today with volunteer-staffed collection tables where individuals may make contributions. Additionally, the more than 250 student and faculty organizations on campus will be asked to contribute. Off campus, the committee will appeal to service and civic clubs and will accept donations from individuals. Atlee said faculty and students who have lived in Guatemala are available to discuss the effect of the earthquake on Guatemala at meetings of service clubs, civic groups, and church organizations. They may be contacted by telephoning the Student Community Services Office, 546-2476.

A Guatemala Relief Fund has been established through Cal Poly's Associated Students, Inc. Contributions can be mailed to Guatemala Relief Fund, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Calif., 93407. The Cal Poly Alumni Association already has contributed $150 to the relief fund and alumni are being asked to add to this sum.

Cal Poly, its faculty, students, staff, and alumni, have a special concern about the devastation in Guatemala. For 10 years the university was involved in projects in that Central American nation designed to improve agricultural output, marketing, the establishment of cooperatives, and community development. Much of that work has been destroyed by the earthquake. Atlee reports Cal Poly alumni are at work in Guatemala assisting in relief efforts. Donald Fiester, a 1947 graduate with a degree in crop production now working for the Agency for International Development out of the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City, has utilized his ham radio expertise to help maintain communications.

Roland Bunch, a 1975 graduate of Cal Poly's master's program in international agricul­ture, is helping with rescue operations at San Martin, an isolated village 40 miles north of Guatemala City. He barely escaped with his life when his home collapsed in the earthquake. Current Cal Poly students from Guatemala, Manfred Topke, an animal science major, and Raul Moreno, an ornamental horticulture major, are members of the campuswide committee. Topke was able to communicate with his family on Sunday (Feb. 8). He learned that medical supplies are needed urgently.

WHEELER APPOINTED ACTING HEAD

With the recommendation of J. Cordner Gibson (Dean, Agriculture and Natural Resources) and after consultation with department faculty, President Robert E. Kennedy has appointed Robert R. Wheeler as acting head of the Animal Science department for the Spring Quarter 1976. The appointment will be effective during the sabbatical leave of Richard F. Johnson (Head, Animal Sciences).

TOYOTA WINS IN OFF-ROAD RACE

A team of students representing the Society of Automotive Engineers at Cal Polyt piloted their 1974 Toyota pickup to a fifth place finish in the mini-truck class of the Parker Dam 400 Off-Road Race on Saturday (Feb. 7) at Parker, Ariz. The best effort ever re­corded by a Cal Poly entry in off-road racing did not come without its anxious moments according to Ronald Keil (Mechanical Engineering) advisor to the 29 engineering students who prepared and entered the truck.

Dr. Keil, reported that the truck experienced two minor delays during the race, but still managed to complete the three legs of the 400-mile race some 30 miles behind the first ­place car in the mini-truck class. Repair of a broken ball joint brought a 15-minute delay and another 45 minutes were needed to dig the truck out of a sand bank later in the race. The Arizona competition was the first for the Cal Poly entry since about 4,000 man-hours and nearly $13,000 in parts were used in major modifications. It fin ished 11th of 22 entries in its first competition in the Baja 500 last spring.

CAN YOU SEE A SIX FOOT RABBIT?

By day, Robert T. Knowles of Los Osos works as a field clerk for a con­struction company. But when the sun goes down, he adopts a six-foot tall rabbit that is visible to no one but himself. He even introduces the rabbit to all his friends. When Knowles enters the Cal Poly Theatre to begin rehearsal for the performances of Harvey to be presented on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (Feb. 19, 20, and 21) by the Speech Communication

Department, he enters a world he has enjoyed for the past 15 years.

Knowles "got hooked" on theatre in 1961 while attending high school in Montclair and in 1965 enrolled at Cal Poly where his first audition landed him the leading role in the campus production of Harvey, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Mary Chase. Aside from a short service in the Navy in 1970 and 1971, Knowles has been active in both the Cal Poly Theatre and the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre, while earning his BA degree and teacher's credential in history with a minor in drama. It was at the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre, while working on the production of The Matchmaker in 1973, that he met his wife Susan.

Despite his experience in acting and directing, Knowles, who graduated from Cal Poly in 1974, has no desire to make the theatre his career. "You can do more theatre as an amateur than you can as a professional. The fun of it for me is just to do it," Knowles, who has acted in 25 plays and directed 3, explains. Joining Knowles for his return engagement in Harvey at Cal Poly are Mary Aquino as Kelly, Ann Aubrey as Veta Simmons, Dorothy Newell as Myrtle May Simmons, Lara Ann Hartley as Betty Chumley, and Dave Ernst as Lofgren. Other cast members selected by director J. Murray Smith (Speech Communica­tion) include Tom Piane as Duane Wilson, Roy Scott as Dr. Chumley, Larry W. Seaton as Dr. Sanderson, and Loren Strack as Ethel Chauvenet.

Curtain time for the performances will be 8 pm each evening during its three-night run in the cal Poly Theatre. Tickets priced at $1 for students and $2 for others are on sale at the University Union ticket office on campus and at Brown's Music Store in San Luis Obispo. They will be sold at the theatre box office prior to curtain time each evening.

~-·NEH - Youtharants in the Humanities. The National Endowment for the Humanities Youthgrants in the Humanities Program was established to support humanities projects developed and conducted by students and other young people. To be considered for a Youthgrant award, a proposed project must meet three basic conditions: (1) it must relate in a clear way to the humanities; (2) it must have a specific purpose, a carefully designed scope, an identifiable end product; and (3) it must have a high promise of helping individuals to develop their critical faculties and although adults may be involved (and are encouraged to serve) as advisors or consultants, young people must carry the major responsibility for its initiation, development, and execution.

As the Bicentennial of the nation's founding approaches, projects relating ~ either to the American Revolution or to the continuing philosophical ideas and issues associated with it are especially encouraged. The Endowment is ~ also interested in historical research proposals which seek to trace the ~ development of local communities and local institutions during the 200 years since the nation's birth.

Faculty members who know of students interested and capable of responding to this program are encouraged to bring this opportunity to their attention.
