I 4 Feb. 9, 1978 los 9ngelrs JEimeS 8 South Gate Candidates1 Names to Stay on Ballot BOARD MAY CLOSE 6 INTERMEDIATE SITES judgment were submitted by Judge Dell Tuesday regarding the removal of the names of the incumbents from the ballot Murdock said he and Sheehy are proceeding with their reelection campaign regardless of the court decisions. over the neighborhood elementary school and the community high school," Ruether said "We hope they also realize that programs and students will ultimately suffer to maintain this position" Ruether also suggested that the district notify teachers by March 1 about impending transfers in the event that the plan is adopted by the board "We would like to notify them by the earliest possible date," Butler responded later. He added, however, that the board is only obligated to notify teachers by March 1 when terminations are involved and that none are planned here. Teachers will all have their jobs no matter where the kids are," he said In response to a question raised at Mondays meeting about whether the kindergarten through 7th grade and 8th through 12th grade structure is operating anywhere else in the state, Butler said in an interview later that he did not know of any, although variations, such as K-6 and 7-12 were known.

The staff plan would save the district $1.2 million to $1.4 million annually in overhead costs, Butler said Declining enrollment of approximately 1,000 students per year since Continued from First Page Judge Dell said the law permits "liberal construction of the right to vote." The new law," Judge Dell continued, "could not aply because it is not an emergency enactment" Montano's suit maintained that City Clerk Janet Stubbs should not have accepted the nomination papers of any candidates. Stubbs' sttomey, Robert Flandrick, termed the lack of dates after the signatures as a "possible technical nonconformance." Flandrick noted that the March 7 election is not far off and further legal action could cause "very serious time restraints." In an earlier ruling, Judge Dell had ordered Sheehy and Murdock's names off the ballot because they failed to submit their nomination papers to the City Clerk's Office in South Gate by noon on Dec. 29. Although the pair did file their papers during an extended filing period which was required by state law when a third incumbent, Don Sawyer, decided not to seek another term, the judge ruled that the extended filing period applied only to nonincumbent candidates. There has got to be a cutoff," Judge Dell had said of that issue Attorneys for Sheehy and Murdock argued unsuccessfully that the incumbents believed they could file during the extended period based on information they claimed they received from City Clerk Stubbs and from local news accounts.

Bruce Boogaard, attorney for Sheehy and Murdock, said a decision will probably be made sometime today as to whether an appeal to Dell's decision will be filed Findings of fact and Film About King Tut to Be Shown Tonight in Santa Fe Springs SANTA FE SPRINGS A film and display related to the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are available to city residents this month. The film, "Tut The Boy King," will screen at the library tonight at 7 pjn. and afterward will be available on TV video cassettes at the facility. In addition, hand-painted, gold-leafed replicas of the art pieces to be seen at the county museum will be on display. Rio Hondo Enrollment Will Close on Friday Spring semester registration for classes at Rio Hondo College will close at 3 pjn.

Friday, Feb. 10. Classes began this week, but several sections are open for late registration. Enrollment is open for day and evening classes. Counselors are available to assist students with the selection of courses and other educational or career plans.

Continued from First Page Separation would probably include a distinct administrative staff for the younger students, staggered school hours and physical detachment wherever possible, Butler explained. In addition, he said the regrouping would allow 7th graders to function in the "more personalized atmosphere" of the primary schools; for another year. But among the" nearly 1200 persons who attended this week's meeting, more than a dozen spoke up in protest of closing intermediate acilities. Teachers in their professional lives can cope. A 12-year-old facing high school can not cope," said Michael Newcomb, a teacher at Wright Intermediate.

These two or three years are the most difficult physically, emotionally and mentally that our human machines must go through," Newcomb added. "A school within a school wont be effective because it is impossible to separate kids." A number of others echoed New-comb's sentiments about the inevitability of students mingling, expressing concern about matters such as 13-year-old girls mixing with junior and senior boys and student embarrassment over getting undressed in the locker rooms. John Hergesheimer, a teacher at Norwalk High School said the staff proposals would not address the problems of not having enough juniors and seniors in career planning classes to make instruction effective. A few speakers voiced support for the plan and a few others reiterated opposition to the closing of Glerm. Lisa Beasley, a cheerleader at Glenn, seemed to sum up the underlying feelings of many who attended the meeting when she said, "Why should we always have to adjust? Our world changes all the time.

Two of the things that stay the same are our homes and our schools." But such sentiments were chastized by Dick Ruether, executive director of the Teachers Association of the Norwalk-La Mirada Area. "We have listened to the community and understand their real concerns CHARMAN OF THE BOARDS Cerritos College center Herb Harper goes up for rebound amidst Santa Ana defenders as teammate Jeff Brewer (41) looks on.

.1968 has resulted in underuse of facilities and consequent high overhead costs. It is not yet certain what would be done with the closed facilities, although Butler said he did not think the district would want to retain all of them. In 1974 we closed five sites and the concept was that we may need them so let's save them. At this time, if we close six more, we will end up with 11 closed sites. "Looking down the road 10 or 12 years, there is no way you can see a need for all 11 sites at that time, even with increases in enrollment Three of the five facilities shut down in 1974 have been leased to the Southeast Recreation and Parks District, while the others have been turned into an opportunity school and the Norwalk-La Mirada Adult School.

Clinics on Tax Returns Slated Come in see our wide selection Hiring Inquiry Dropped at Rio Hondo College The California Division of Fair Employment Practices has dropped its investigation of charges of discrimination filed against Rio Hondo College last year. Charges of discrimination in hiring had been filed against the college in March of 1977 by the Chicano Faculty Assa and several other Mexican-American groups.

While no specific charges were made, the groups alleged that there had been disahnination against Mexican-Americans in the hiring of administrators and teachers. 1 have decided not to authorize a full-scale investigation," said Alice A. Lytle, chief of the Fair Employment Practice Division in a letter to the college. The decision was based on a preliminary review of employment policies and procedures at Rio Hondo. New selection procedures to implement the college's affirmative action plan were instrumental in the decision, according to Lytle's letter.

Area Schools Impacts Southeast LADIES SHOES FAMOUS BRAND NAMES Del Mar, Debs, Daisys, Antonio, Marsini, Continentals, Large Sizes While parents and school officials in many Southeast school districts anguish over the closure of schools due to declining enrollment those in Area of Los Angeles city schools are discussing overcrowded facilities. The Community Affairs Committee of the Los Angeles Unified School District's Board of Education met in Bell last week and heard the complaints of parents with children attending schools there and in Cudaby, Maywood, Huntington Park and South Gate. The growth has been really fantastic in the last four years," Sidney Brickman, superintendent of Area said in an interview later. "We're going up about 1200 students per year and most are concentrated in Bell and South Gate," he explained The area has a total school enrollment of about 60,000 and overcrowding is centered in the primary and junior high school grades.

At last week's meeting, many parents said they preferred double-sessions which are now operating on some elementary campuses to a year-round school program, which they thought would disrupt family life. Brickman said building more schools is not a feasible alternative, not only because of lack of building funds but also because "we have no land to put them on." But members of the committee, chaired by board member and Bustop organizer Bobbi Fiedler, told parents that new school sites would be possible under the integration plan now before the courts. Parents responded that the schools already are integrated School officials place the ethnic breakdown at 20 white, 30 black and 50 Hispanic Women's Self-Defense Slated DOWNEY Six-week sessions in women's self-defense will be presented by the Parks and Recreation Department at East Middle School 10301 Woodruff in the girls' activity room.
