"If a Chicano learns to run a show, and gets his license, he can go to just about any of the Chicano radio stations. They'll hire you tight away. Now, they have to hire two — an Anglo who knows the technical end and a Chicano to do the Spanish." Guzman said he had been approached by student leaders about expanding the program to include coverage of Issues pertinent to Chicano students.

DL, O^r OL CucLo's lU □AIL1 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO IAIM THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1976 Court positions finally approved by Bruce Scheldt The semester-long wait for a CSUF Student Court ended Wednesday when the Student Senate approved the selection of four new members on the five-member court. In a 10-3 vote (two abstentions), the Senate selected Erik Strom and Ty Knotts for two-year terms and Sandra Hernandez and David Plnuelas for one-year terms to the Court. It also selected Curtis Adney as an alternate. The reason for the different length terms is that Strom iind Knotts are juniors while Hernandez and Plnuelas are seniors. The fifth member Is the only one from last year's Court who returned to school this semester. Anticipation over who would be named to the Court was growing because' the Court is expected to rule whether Legislative Vice-president Susan Good and College Union Vice-president David Nlkssarlan hold their offices legally. Good and Nlkssarlan have been centers of controversy in student government since the Fall semester started. Both were appointed to their offices by last year's AS President Steven Moe. This year's Senate confirmed Moe's nominations of both Good and Nlkssarlan, but at a later meeting the Senate rescinded Its own confirmation of the two nominations, which ousted both veeps, from office. But AS President David Price in vetoed the rescinding action of the Senate, restoring Good and Nlkssarlan to office. The Senate changed Its mind one week later and voted to sustain Price's veto. STROM OPPOSED Senators Barbara Kissinger and Lola Richmond disapproved of Strom being on the court. Both Senators said that Adney',"the alternate, was more qualified than Strom. •His (Strom's) only experience Is as a journalist," Rich!. ■ mond said. "He (Strom) did say he has reviewed the Constitution." Strom was a reporter/photographer on last year's Dally Collegian staff. A few weeks ago, the Senate Personnel Committee recommended to Price that Strom, Knotts, Hernandez and Plnuelas be appointed to the-Court and Adney be made an alternate. Price submitted all of these names to the Senate Wednesday without designating anyone as alternate. Price said this would give the Senate more of a selection than if he designated one as an alternate. |w Senators Richard Carrillo, Charles Doe and James Pop- i^* tanlch, all members of the Personnel Committee, urged the Senate to approve Strom and not Adney out of "common courtesy* to the committee. In other matters, the senate appointed: Kathleen L.Maben and Meilnda Motts to the Child Day Care Advisory Board; . Plnuelas to the Board of Directors of the CSUF Alumni Association; Dusty Simmons to the Student Grievance Board; Diana Rivera and Martha Hernandez to the Election Committee; and Martha Hernandez to the Personnel Committee. GULAFSHAN KHALIL and ParweenMody (right) demonstrate the Pakistani way to wrap a Sari, traditional women's clothing In the East. Khalll said the way the Sari is wrapped differs from country to country. They will demonstrate Sari.wrapping in the College Union Thursday night as part of International Week. Interested women will be able to try a Sari on then Khalll said. (Photo by Jim Denman) Recall petitions near completion by Michael Robinson Petitions for the recall of Associated Student legislative vice- president Susan Good and College Union vice-president David Nlkssarlan are expected to be signed and turned In to AS President David Price III sometime next The petitions need only 100 more signatures, according to Senator Richard Carrillo, a recall backer. Carrillo said the petitions will be turned In to Price, who will give them to David Bell, Dean of Student Affairs. Bell will check the signatures to make sure they are authentic, he said. In addition to the recall petition, Good and Nlkssarlan are also facing possible removal from office by the Student Court. Four people were confirmed as Court Justices by the student Senate yesterday. Unofficial reports indicate petition backers are working for the recall as a back-up measure to the court's decision. Good would be able to delay the action of the r claiming faulty a source said, but the Court decision would be difficult to over- Price said Good could protest any court decision by going through the office of Student Affairs. Breast cancer strikes college age/dlso by Mary Raymond Breast cancer can and does strike young "mien, according to Carol Roberts, a registered nurse and volunteer for the American Cancer Society. She speaks from experience. She had f r first mastectomy (breast removal) at 'he age of 27 and the next year her re- ■ ; -lining breast was removed. Roberts, speaking at a Health Science class, told her audience that worn en should 'heck their breasts for lumps after every - enstrual period. Husbands also find many of the lumps because, "for some reason, women don't run around feeling their breast like men do," she said. To check for lumps In breasts; Roberts "id, first stand In front of a mirror with the arms relaxed at the side of the body and note any changes In the size, shape °r contours of the breasts. Also note any •i.-npiing or puckering of the skin. In the shower,, a woman should coat her hand: md body with soap and gently press the breasts, feeling for any lumps or thickenings. Doing this while the skin Is wet allows the fingers to move easily, helping to find any changes, Roberts said. Out of the shower, the woman should He down, placing a pillow under her left shoulder and her left hand under her head. Holding the fingers ot the right hand flat, she should press the breasts In a clockwise rotation, feeling from the breastbone and moving outward toward, the nipple line. After one side is completed switch sides. KNOW CHARACTERISTICS Robefts emphasized the Importance of each woman knowing the characteristics of her own breasts. "If it weren't for their lumps, some women would have nothing," she said. If a lump Is found, the woman should see her doctor Immediately. Only a doctor can tell U the lump Is cancerous, said Roberts. Roberts said she hoped that In the future breast examination by machine will be as common as the Pap smear. . Mammography, a lowpowerX-rayof the breast, and thermography, a heat photo of the breast, are two methods used to detect cancer. These are being used now, although mostly In the larger cities, according to Roberts. \ SURGERY If the lump is cancerous there are four types of surgery a doctor can perform, said Roberts. —Radical mastectomy: complete removal of the breast, underlying tissues, lymph glands and chest muscles. —Modified radical: the breast, tissue and lymph glands are removed leaving the -Simple mastectomy: only thebreastls removed. -Lumpectomy: only the lump Is re- she admitted. woman and a man, she said.

It didn't, it's very realistic looking," and she poked at them to emphasize Roberts, who visits mastectomy patients following their operations said, "When I - had only one breast removed, I wouldn't tell the women which breast was real and which was my on Page 8, Col. 1)
