coverage in said ETV consultant Sabin Gray of Tulare County But Jacob Wiens the engineering consultant for the Channel 18 proposal said no tests have been made to determine whether that channel could reach Bakersfield with a high-grade signal Gray outlined the history of frustration the valley has had trying to To Area get some kind of ETV and public television coverage He said the ana feels it is poor step-child" in ETV and that if California is last among the 50 states in ETV development (as claimed by Quimby) San Joaquin Valley must be zilch I believe the kids are being robbedif we keep them abreast of the other technological developments that are being used Gray described the valley as 'pink geographical area which means unexplored" by ETV Wiens testified that moving Channel 18 to the same location as that ETV Proposal By Lanny Larson The legislature's Joint Committee on Telecommunication was told the Fresno County Department of Education hopes to learn in a month or so whether it will receive federal funding for an educational-public television station The committee chaired by Assemblyman John Quimby D-Rialto conducted a day-long hearing Friday in Lamp Liter Inn At one point Quigley promised his committee would send a letter to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare endorsing the proposal to ac tivate Channel 18 from Fresno However committee consultant John Crabbe was not certain the Fresno proposal is the best one to serve the greatest number of persons in the San Joaquin Valley area He believes the Tulare County Department of Education's proposal to put former commercial Channel 43 on the 'dir as a public and educational TV station be more significant" The Tulare County proposal was withdrawn earlier this year with an indication the Fresno plan would -be supported if Fresno County remained in consultation with other areas of proposed by Tulare County would cause at least a one-year delay in the Channel 18 proposal He said earlier that signals to areas other than the primary coverage zones outlined ln the Fresno proposal could be brought in on repeaters Crabbe indicated he was not happy with the proposal now before the Federal Communications Commission and HEW but that it was important to keep a united front to make certain some kind of publioeducational television becomes available for the valley's 125 million residents The Fresno County proposal al ready is running into one kind of unanticipated trouble in Washington Rules for HEW funding were changed to favor expanding current facilities rather than putting new stations on theair 'Harriett Jowett of the Fresno County Department of Education said Rep BF Sisk D-Fresno and US Sens Alan Cranston and John Tun-ney are trying to get HEW to give a top priority to

contrapuntal harmonies somewhat reminiscent of 16th Century liturgical works and the chorus and ensemble gave it a very musical expressive performance One wonderous factor The enunciation was such

contrasts in mood and choreographic personalities The company performed respectably in all moments and admirably in some cases proof of the months of hard work which have gone into preparing for this

anticore" or as the composer described it madrigal fable for chorus ten dancers and nine instru--ments" Not really a ballet and not really an opera the piece is like an opera in that it has characters and singers only the singers stand to one side on stage and sing a dozen brief madrigals about a poet a nonconformist who pokes fun at those who borrow slavishly from the enthusiasms of just to be The unicorn the gorgon and the manticore which the poet parades before the foolish are but metaphors for youth adulthood and old age And the conclusion is bittersweet real life situations and possible solutions Some of the areas covered were economics language culture history development and how social work relates to the Chicano perspective Sosa said that it is too er-ariy to determine the effect the symposium will hare upon social workers But he said is hoped it will increase their compassion and make them aware of the obstacles Chicanos face in striving to reach their goals" He said a followup workshop will be held later in an effort to assess modify and adapt the FSU School of Social Work curriculum to include the Chicanos living in rural poverty areas OPEN HOUSE AT TOWERS

Services Administration on buying the 92000 square-foot post office building and with the City of Fresno which has expressed interest in buying the 25000 square-foot administration building at Mariposa and Streets Referring to the Finch said the differences in price could be made up by a long-term lease to enable postal authorities to continue public sen-ices in part of the building Most of

understanding of the problems facing Chcanos The workshop was aimed at social workers and designed to give them an insight into the social and economic problems affecting persons of Mexican descent More than 400 social workers from throughout California and neighboring states attended Sosa oneof the organizers of the affair said many of the social workers employed in the various agencies lack the insight into the chicano problems be- cause such problems are not included in any of the college courses which quali transportation To tighten the administrative reins the summer program was given to Scott and Phillips area administrators for the district rather than to one or two principals as an extra-pay assignment Also each high school's summer program now is the responsibility of the school principal Usually deans or counselors have been hired to administer the individual school pro- fied them to hold their positions Parlier was selected as the site for the free workshop because of the few cities that not only has about 90 per cent Chicano population but a Chicano government as well And in addition the city has expressed an interest in working with the school of social work at FSU Joe Rodriqucs director of the Parlier Parks and Recreation Department says the city does not need social workers to come into the area conduct surveys and then identify the problems know what our problems are" he said we need are And the basic purpose of the symposium was to confirm the participants with June 17 grams The elementary school programs will range from assisting students who need extra help in fundamentals to providing more capable students with new ideas and experiences the school board was told The high schools will provide enrichment classes opportunities for work experience assignments and required courses a student may elect to take in summer school Classes Will Begin pleting Grade 6 in June may take a summer school program either at an elementary school or a high school said Gordon Scott who together with Dr Jerry Phillips will direct the summer program Brochures describing classes to be offered at the high schools should be ready in about a week Scott said Students who lire at least two miles from a high school win be provided bus.
