Editorial
Parker issue: not dead yet
This Issue of The Daily Collegian carries a letter by Melvin
Ricks, author of an Uhuru (a Dally Collegian supplement) article
which quoted two black members of the football'team saying there
was a communication gap between the players and Head Coach J R
While Ricks says In his letter that one of the players was quoted
wrongly, The Dally Collegian feels that the thrust of the Issue ls
In ho way changed.
Obviously, there ls a communication gap on tbe Bulldog Football
Team. If there were not. It ls certain that Ron Parker, the basic
source, would have also denied the story.
Parker did not and be ls no longer a member of the, team. Seem a
little strange? The Dally Collegian thinks so.
In Thursday's Issue of The Dally Collegian, Coach Boone was
Invited to elaborate on Just what has happened. So far he has made
no effort to do so. > * .   V
It Is highly unlikely that the Issue ls going to die simply because
Coach Boone wants lt to. Some ot the questions that need to be re¬
solved Include:   - . *■
—Why has Parker left the team? Is Coach Boone unwilling to
accept criticism? (This Is something every member of the academic
community should be willing to accept at any time.)
-The only statement Coach Boone has made on Ihe subject ls that
as far as he Is concerned, lt Is a dead Issue. There ls no reason to
huyjhls. a valuable running back's future Is hanging In the balance.
Ron Parker ls not a "dead Issue," but a human being with rights like
everyone else.
—Is freedom of speech taboo when one Joins the football team?,If
so, what part should such an organization have at an Institution or
higher learning, where free thought Is encouraged?
—Why was another player, Jack Wender. allowed to quit the team,
pack up his things and return to De Anza College, only lo be-re¬
admitted to the team a week later? Surely his act was a much more
flagrant one. The fact that Wender Is- white and Parker Is black
leaves the Bulldog team open to all sorts of charges.
—Exactly what.Is the psychology behind a team where the situation
is allowed to develop in the first place? Shouldn't students, whose
fees finance the Bulldog team, be allowed to find out? The Dally
Collegian thinks so.
The Dally Collegian once again offers Coach Boone the opportunity
to fill In the rest of the university on what ls going on. Space will be
given to him, should he wish to reply.

In Tuesday's edition of The

there was a misprint In the story.
In writing the story I quoted a

obviously the mistake was made
by the editor. The statement that

then adVfed 21 points In the third
quarter, giving tbem a comfor¬
table 41-7 lead going Into the final
quarter. J R Boone then sub¬

*here the Bulldog reserves added"
It was an overall team effort
with the "defense turning the big

Naturally, no one person is going to "solve" the
energy problem singlehandedly; ifs going to take a
lot of concerned people, working together, to even
begin to solve the problems of fuel conservation,
wild life preservation, recycling, smog-free rapid
transit, fume incineration and water purification
The thing is... as concerned as we are about these
problems, and others, at PG&E we don't think
"concern" is enough. The concern has to motivate
action And that!s what we're corning to grips with.
Here-and-now, how-to realities.
So, if you're a "how-to" person, a person who's
more than an idealistic abstractionist, there may be
an opportunity for you with us to work toward
solutions to problems that concern you.
Sure, we've got the establishment benefits that
make life a little easier to cope with, like good pay
and employee benefits. But we've also got the
things that make life worth living. Realistic
challenges.
If you're a graduating civil, electrical power,
rriechanical or nuclear engineer, and you've never
thought about working for (and/or with) us before,
give us a thought Send your resume to John
