THE RADIANT QUEEN, Miss Debbie Rogers, shown here, as she recovers from the shock of being crowned Miss L.A. County and Homecoming Queen of the college. Dear Students of Whittier College: The recent extension of the Selective Service Law has brought about an urgent crisis for many men on the Whittier College campus. Because of this crisis, many student representatives have felt the need to speak out on this crucial issue. When considering the issue of the draft and student responses to it, it should be kept in mind that Whittier College was founded upon the humanistic values of the Society of Friends and is "devoted to higher education with a constant overtone of Quaker responsibility in the social order" (Whittier College Catalog, p. 21). This would indicate that Whittier College has a particular responsibility to speak out about the draft. It should also be kept in mind that the Constitution of the Associated Students of Whittier College was established to "achieve better awareness of, and competence in, practices of democratic citizenship," and to "insure student rights . . ." (Preamble of the Constitution). This would indicate that the elected representatives of the Whittier student body have a responsibility of protecting students' rights and of speaking out on a law which threatens the practices of democratic citizenship. It is clear that the Selective Service System directly affects the welfare and rights of Whittier College students, especially the freshmen who are not granted student deferments under the new law. THEREFORE: We, the undersigned students of Whittier College, strongly urge individual Whittier College students to resist induction into the Armed Forces of the United States.

Debbie Rogers!" Amid the tears and screams of joy, one could feel a sigh of relief going out from the members of the Homecoming Committee as the weeks of preparation finally seemed all worthwhile. The coronation at half-time of the Whittier-Pomona football game culminated weeks of planning on the part of Jan Hixenbaugh and her entire committee. The all-school events started Friday night at Alpha Beta parking lot where the floats were assembled amid much laughter and excitement.

MECHA Makes Demands We, the Chicano students of Whittier College, do hereby make the following demands of the Whittier College Administration and Faculty. We consider these demands to be Non-Negotiable in that we have exhausted all possible means of communication to air our grievances and our requests to make Whittier College more relevant to the needs of our community and our fellow students. The Center for Mexican American Affairs, which our community representatives have unanimously renamed El Centro de Asuntos Chicanos, has been unable to deal with the expressed needs of the students and the Chicano community due to the systematic and overt racist policies of the present Administration. 1) That an independent audit of the school's funds, investments, operating costs, and total endowment, be conducted immediately. 2) That an independent audit of the funds allocated to the Office of Financial Aids, to include a complete breakdown of monies allocated this school year to all individuals, be conducted immediately. 3 ) That all financial aid monies given specifically to and for Mexican American students to El Centro de Asuntos Chicanos be awarded by a committee comprised of Chicano students, Chicano Faculty, representatives of the Greater Chicano Community, and the Centro de Asuntos Chicanos. 4) That the Center for Psychological Services, under the direction of Dr. Don Meyer, utilize the consultation services of Chicano psychologists, psychiatric social workers, etc., to alleviate the lack of understanding of the Chicano psyche, which exists presently in the Center. 5) That the school furnish (Cont. on Page 3) Charles Lloyd Gives Concert Charles Lloyd will give a concert at Whittier College on Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. in Wardman gymnasium. Ticket prices are $1.00 for Whittier College students (I.D. card required) and $2.00 for the general public. Tickets are on sale in the Business Office and the Office of Student Affairs.

The parade included numerous high school bands and drill teams from all over the Whittier area plus the floats. In the parade were many distinguished members of the Whittier community and the college. Dr. Michael McBride was Grand Marshal of Homecoming. At half-time, all the floats were led past the stands where they were described by the M.C.'s Clayborn Holmes and Ed Sosa. Then the announcements of the winners of the dorm decorations on the theme "Love is ..." were given. Ball Hall won for the second year in succession with its theme "Love is 84 brothers and sisters." The Homecoming Court was then presented to the student body in the center of the field with the song "Love is a Many Spendored Thing" playing in the background. Then Debbie Rogers was crowned by last year's queen, Melissa Otte. After the game there was a dance in the Wanberg Hall Parking Lot. Convo by Legal Aid Attorney After having his invitation to speak cancelled because his name was not properly submitted, Mr. Carlyle Hall, an attorney from the Center for Law in the Public Interest, has now been officially invited to come to Whittier College, Nov. 16. as a non-paid convocation speaker. Speaking in Arnold Hall at 11 a.m., Mr. Hall's topic will be concerned with the relevancy and need for public interest law, particularly how it works in practice. Everyone is urged to attend this convocation, and anyone desiring more details about the aims of the Center for Law in the Public Interest may question Mr. Hall during a discussion in the C.I. immediately following his speech. Muskie's Answers Create Controversy "The struggle for equal right will never be easy. There have already been so many setbacks and frustrations and defeats. But we cannot grow tired—and we cannot give up. For if we continue to say to too many Americans that their only choice is between confinement in a ghetto and confinement to jail, we will endanger this country for a century to come," said Senator Edmund Muskie. Racial equality was the main topic of interest at the speech of Senator Edmund S. Muskie in Arnold Hall Monday, Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. Preceding Muskie's speech was the issuance of several demands by the Center for Mexican- American Affairs, renamed El Centro de Asuntos Chicanos. Members of this group bombarded Senator Muskie with questions concerning racial attitudes and outlooks. A representative of the Mexican-American group inquired as to whether Muskie was in favor of ethnic studies. Senator Muskie replied that he was and went on to say, "I am generally aware of the urge toward this kind of change in college curricula and other changes that are be- (Cont. on Page 3) Thurmond Advocates Conservative Ideals Senator Muskie By CHRIS GANDOLFO Senator Strom Thurmond, Republican from South Carolina, spoke last Thursday before a partially unreceptive audience in Arnold Hall.
