Hoveyda
asked the committee at their March 24th
meeting to cancel Hoveyda's visit
saying his. appearance would be a
'pure affront to the Iranian students.*
Director of International Studies Robert
Knudsen also asked the committee to
not reschedule Hoveyda's appear¬
ance.
The committee voted eight to one
with one abstention to reschedule
Hoveyda's visit.
His appearance was moved to the
gym because the college union was
booked for that day and also for security
reasons, according to Gary Bongio¬
vanni, CU program director.
But the Fresno Bee reported that
university officials said Hoveyda's
speech was closed to the general public
because of the limited capacity of the
2,000-eeat gym not because of security
reasons. '*_ 1

said Bongiovanni. Bongiovanni could not
recall when an appearance had been
closed to the general public recently
but said an appearance by Ray Bradbury

which stressed his opposition to affir¬
mative action programs.
Jeff Reich is only a part of the opposi¬
tion against bilingual ballots which is
stirring through government.
In Washington, two measures have
been sponsored by Sen. S.I. Hawakawa
ID-Calif. I and Rep. Paul McCloskey
which would repeal a current federal
law under which the bilingual voting
program can be strengthened.
A common complaint among
opponents is the added cost to print a
Spanish/English ballot.
Fresno County Election Manager
Norma Logan said that printing a two-
language ballot is 'extremely costly,*
with the price of printing up 40% over

a few years'ago was dosed to the public
because of limited seating capacity.
Some of the concern over Hoveyda's
visit was because of the protest his'
appearances have drawn at other
campuses in -Texas and' Louisiana
where, demonstrators have been ar¬
rested.    .
'We're concerned about the crowd,*
said Bongiovanni. "There have been
some disruptions at other. campuses.
From what we understand a lot of this
was from off campus."
'It is very difficult for Iranian students
to watch and see what a criminal is
saying,' said Abdul Karimzadeh,
president of the Association of Moslem
Students. I'm really disappointed with
the administration. We have done
everything that was possible for us.
He has no right to speak. It is obvious
and clear.* Karimzadeh said he ex¬
pected some kind of action from.Iranian
students tomorrow, but said his or¬
ganization will take no action.
Hoveyda represented Iran in the U.N.
for 1? years. In his speech, Hoveyda
is supposed to be critical of both the
Shah and Khomeini, but Iranian! stud¬
ents say be is critical of the revolution.
He ia now a political refugee in this
country and , has written a book.

the amount needed to print a single-
language ballot.
El Conctlio official Abeytia said it's
worth every penny and he defended
the ballot bilingual. El Concilio ia a pri¬
vate umbrella organizaton for 26 area
Hispanic groups.
"I favor anything that would enhance
the education of the voter,* Abeytia
said, adding that the bilingual ballot
strengthens the election process because
more people can enter the voter's booth.
Abeytia said Reich should obey the
'law of the land' which calls for the
ballots. The councilman's charges are
'ridiculous* and Abeytia challenged him
to take the issue to the Supreme Court.
Reich's lawsuit is motivated by 'rac¬
ism,* Abeytia said, citing the candi¬
date's strong defense of his own lan¬
guage.
'Reich represents a point of view
which is prevalent with those enemies
of society who want to see no progress,*
Abeytia said.
Abeytia supports a government pro¬
posal which was recently Sled in a law¬
suit against the city of San Francisco.
The suit proposes amendments to the
federal Voting Rights Act of 1976.
The amendments require special  Ian-

coordinator of the elementary
education department, professors
are ethically bound not to sell books
that they receive "free from publish¬
ers. *I don't know of anyone who
does it myself, * he said.
But because it has apparently
been done in the past, publishers do
not want instructors and professors
to order a desk copy, or a teacher's
edition, if they already have a
sample copy.
*I review the texts that are avail¬
able and I try to have the students
involved...*, said Haimbach.
Students are asked their opinions
about the text book they have been
reading for the class.
Among the criteria that Haimbach
uses to select a book ia whether or
not It is attractive enough to moti¬
vate students to reed it, bow the
table of contents compares to the
syllabus he has in mind for the
course, and the supplementary
materials available through the
publisher.
Among  those  supplements,   he
has received is a 800 item test bank
"so I don't have to alt down out of
the cold and make them up,' be
said.
But for Ratana S. Newsome, dean
of the school of home economics,
there is another fact to consider.
Cost. 'And sometimes cost over¬
rules,* she said.      '
Newsome would like to get a
sample copy of one book, but she
said that it costs. (47.60. And in her
field, advanced clinical nutrition,
few samples are free.
Another- factor that Newsome
considers is whether or not a text
book contains a simulated case
study so that students wfll have
some practical application.
But to bold down the costs, she
said that when possible, books are
ordered at a conference where a
discount rate ia available.
The deans snd professors say that
no more pressure than ordinary
salesmanship is used to entice them
into selecting a specific brand of
books. Perhaps, a few, such as
Provost, have been offered, such
freebies as cookbooks.
And according to Taylor, no pub¬
lisher has the market cornered at

dozen major publishers,* be said.
guage assistance in political districts
in which more than five percent of the
voting-age citizens are members of a
single 'language minority."
Among the steps required of the city
would be a door-to-door registration
drive in Spanish-speaking neighbor¬
hoods; bilingual voting assistance avail¬
able at the polls; and distribution of
bilingual voting materials through
public schools and utitlity company
mailings.
The government plan has drawn
strong support, as well as opposition
from officials in both Fresno sad San
Francisco.
'What the government is proposing
violates constitutional rights - under the
equal protection clause - of the people
who are not singled out for special atten¬
tion,* San Francisco Supervisor Quentin
Kopp said recently.
Reich has also stated his opposition to
the plan.
In its defense, U.S. Attorney Amanda
Metcalf said the bilingual plan would
help attract non-Engliah-apeaking citi¬
zens to participate in a system they may
at first distrust. The alternative, she
said, is continued isolation.
"Whether  the  bilingual   ballot   will
survive its upcoming court tests
remains to be seen, but one fact can be
said concerning minorities throughout
the state - the ethnic face of California
will be changing drastically over the next
few years.
In Los Angeles alone, minorities wfll
become the majority and will outnum¬
ber whites beginning this year. The
result could be a change in the flow of
political power, from the whites to the
Hispanics.
In Sanger last week, a trio of Mexican-
Americans won seats on the city council.
The win places political clout in the
hands of the 66 percent city Chicano pop¬
ulation.
But how did bilingual ballots affect the
outcome of the Sanger election?
Lewis Segura, campaign manager for
the winners, told the Dally Collegian
"this week that bilingual .ballots were a
'useful tool,* but they weren't essential
for victory.
'About 96% of the Mexican-Ameri¬
cans (in Sanger) use English,' Segura
said.
Nevertheless, Reich's plan is "hog-
wash* Segura believes. "Reich's saying
what the Anglo wants to bear (in order)
to get elected,* he said.
