nearly three times the national average, "didnt startle me. I knew before I took the job what I was getting into. And the statistics simply show that more can be done here. "There are good cops in Compton. All they need is direction and leadership." After talking to Parker, Rouzan said, Tm sure the department will have the kind of support of management that is necessary." That commitment is obvious, he added, because "of what they're willing to pay a professional police chief to do a professional job.

"I was happy at LAPD," he said, "and I knew I could move up the ladder there. I wanted this job, though, because I recently attended a conference in Washington, D.C., of ranking black police officers. "If I can do a job, it will show that blacks do have some expertise in law enforcement" Paramount Board Seeks $123,245 PARAMOUNT An application for an additional $123,245 for two elementary schools has been authorized by the Board of Education.

Former Compton Parks Chief Is Tarkanian Aide COMPTON George H. McQuarn, onetime superintendent of parks here, has been named as assistant coach to Jerry Tarkanian's University of Nevada-Las Vegas basketball team. A city parks and recreation employe for 10 years, McQuarn led Verbum Dei High School to five CIF basketball championships between 1967 and 1973.

He was also a coach of a number of high school all-star basketball teams, leading a 1976 squad in victory over a Russian team. A graduate of Cal State Long Beach, McQuarn first coached football, basketball and track teams at St. Albert the Great's Catholic School. SAFE STREETS GOAL OF NEW CHIEF Continued from First Page taking into account my background and my accomplishments. 1 think I can earn their respect and, together, we'll get the job done." A captain on the LAPD, Rouzan is now an equal opportunity coordinator for the department "I am the watchdog of the affirmative action program," he said, responsible for seeking the best qualified female and minority candidates for employment by the department.

But evaluation reports sumitted by his supervisors indicate Rouzan will also bring to Compton a strong background as a good street cop. Honorably discharged from the Air Force when he was 22, Rouzan's first job was a red cap at Union Station. He joined the LAPD when he was 23 and as a patrolman worked in the Central, Southwest, 77th and Wilshire divisions. He was elevated to sergeant in 1962 and lieutenant in 1968, again working patrol assignments in addition to stints in the detective, vice, narcotics and community relations bureaus. At one point an assistant commander of the 77th St division, he was promoted to captain in 1973.

His assignments then included being commanding officer of the central investigations division and commander of the Police Commission's investigations division. Holder of a master degree in business administration from Pepperdine University, Rouzan said one of his first policy changes in the department will be to place detectives and patrolmen under the same commanding officer. Currently they report to two different officers, "and that is a traditional area of conflict," he noted. "They should work together as a team. Putting the responsibility at one level seems to be a good management principal." Rouzan said he will bring to Compton "a commitment to see what can be done about the crime problem.

I want our resources dedicated to substantially reducing street crime burglaries, robberies, rapes, purse snatches. We have got to make the streets safe." He said FBI statistics, which showed that Compton's crime rate in 1975 was 4 Sept. 30, J976H Board to Interview Trustee Candidates BY MARY BARBER Timet Stall Writer LYNWOOD On Wednesday evening the four members of Lynwood Unified School District Board of Education will interview applicants for the most recent vacancy. The final choice may be announced at the next board meeting Oct 12, the earliest possible date for making the decisioa This would mean that the appointee could begin PEEL AND LAY rH fj serving on the board Nov. 16, in compliance with a law that calls for a 30-day period in which the appointment could be contested.

Three persons have made applications for the post. Whoever is chosen will serve only four months, until the next regular election in March. Applicants so far are the Rev. V. James Edner, pastor of Lynwood Christian Church; Robert Cisneros, vice president of Coast Federal Savings in Los Angeles, and Diane Maril, a local resident who has applied to fill board vacancies in the past The board member position became open when Bob Dennis resigned because of his recent move to La Mirada.

Dennis won his seat through an aggressive campaign only last year. His resignation followed by two months that of Audrey C. Faist, the senior board member who served for 13 years and the last of an old guard whose terms continued sometimes for decades and who built a school district that had a wide reputation for excellence. Two years before Faist's resignation came that of Dr. Verner Waite, another long-term member who moved from PARQUET FLOOR TILE Real wood and so easy to floor with (this'll floor ya).

Waite was replaced by Richard Armstrong, who won an ensuing election. He is the only board member whose position will not be up for election in March. Now the senior members of the school board are Dan Peppard and Police Chief Ralph Darton, whose first terms will expire in March. It is not yet known if they run for reelection. Jo Evelyn Terrell was named to the seat vacated by Faist, and law requires that she serve as an appointee only until the next election, which will be in March.

The same rule applies to whoever is named to the current vacancy. Racial change in Lynwood is known to be the cause of many of the departures of long-time residents and it has become an important factor in the selection and election of officials.
