BSU in court...
[Article text:]
(Continued from page 1)
The group is also charged with one count of "assault by means of force to produce great bodily
injury" against Doctor Spencer.
The two count of burglary stem from the students entries into the Physical Education and
Administration Buildings.
Attornies for the students, Jack Diamond and Allen Schwartz, presented a motion, which was
denied, to lower the bail to $100-$250. They argued that although the bail was reasonable,
the defendants were in a program for underpriveledged students and the bail would produce
a hardship.
Diamond pointed out the students surrendered voluntarily, thus showing their sincerity.
"It is in their own interests to return to court and clear themselves of these charges"
Schwartz said.
James Reese, attorney for the students, only for the arraignment, siad the defendants were
calling all day Wednesday asking when they could surrender.
The attorney for the people argued the bail was reasonable and that allowing them to go free
would give tham a "carteblanche not to return" to court.
Judge Di Guiseppe set the preliminary hearing for Dec. 19 at 8:30 a.m. in Division 75M of
the Van Nuys Municipal Court.
Bill Burwell, senior sociology major and spokesman for the students said, "We are not discouraged
by what happened. We will purse every legal channel to get our goals accomplished."
The government structure is playing up law and order and using this incident as an example, he
said.
Burwell emphasized the money for bail must be raised by members of the community.
The students will be held in jail until bail is posted.

Faculty resolution
[Article text:]
(Continued from page 1). explained to the students that the demand was in violation of established
procedure.
Arnett explained that their attitudes then became hostile, and the three men, joined by Doctor
Byrne Fernelius, chairman of the recreation department, were surrounded by students and forced
to go to the Administration Building.
Doctor Paul Blomgren, college president, and Delmar T. Ovi-att, vice-president for academic
affairs, also spoke to the faculty and described the events which took place on the fifth floor
of the Administration Building during the occupation.
Witnesses told the faculty how personnel and students on the fifth floor were ordered into
rooms 507 and 509, told to sit down and shut up, and then searched.
Several amendments to the original resolution were made, and rejected.
Two motions to have the 14 points demanded by the BSU investigated were also rejected.
An unidentified faculty member, however, said he would request the executive committee
of the Faculty Senate to look into the 14 points, according to standard Faculty Senate
Procedures.
In a final action, the faculty passed a resolution which stated: "The General Faculty
affirms its support of President Blomgren and commends the action he has taken to date."

Do your contact lenses lead a clean life?

Contact lenses can be heaven . . . or hell. They may be a wonder of modern science but just
the slightest bit of dirt under the lens can make them unbearable. In order to keep your contact
lenses as comfortable and convenient as they were designed to be, you have to take care of
them.
Until now you needed two or more separate solutions to properly prepare and maintain your
contacts. You would think that caring for contacts should be as convenient as wearing them.
It can be with Lensine.
Lensine is the one lens solution for complete contact lens care. Just a drop or two, before you
insert your lens,coats and lubricates it allowing the lens to float more freely in the eye's fluids.
That's because Lensine is an "isotonic" solution, which means that it blends with the natural
fluids of the eye.
Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the buildup of foreign deposits on the lenses. And
soaking your contacts in Lensine between wearing periods assures you of proper lens hygiene.
You get a free soaking case on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine.
It has been demonstrated that improper storage between wearings may result in the growth of
bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in some cases can endanger
your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is sterile, self-sanitizing, and antiseptic.
Let your contacts be the convenience they were meant to be. Get some Lensine, from the Murine
Company, Inc.
