Richard Vega, 20, of 2617 Commercial St., spokesman for 1he Social Action Group, said at a press conference yesterday\ that the group will carry its protest to today's meeting oil the City Council. The council is to consider the Feb. 5 appointment by City Mgr. Walter Hahn Jr. of Depu- ty Police Chief Raymond L. Hoobler to succeed Police Chief O. J. Roed effectiye March 27. 'RELATIONS ABRASIVE' Vega said his group is com- \ prised of University of San Diego and , o cge s u- ' . He said appointment of a commmitlce representing all segments of the community is \ warranted because of "abra- sive relations betwce the po- llice and the politic)!. ethmc, age and cultural minorities" "Hahn is not reqmred by the City Charter to seek the advice and consent of the community, but he should haw realized that this situation ·made such a course imperative," Vega said. He said the charter, however, does give the city manager au- thority to appoint a citizens' committee to advise him on such appointments as chief of police. 60-DAY DELAY ASKED

Go\'ern6r Assailed By CRLA Chief By ALAJI. ZACHARY The poor have never had jus- tice under any American ad- ministration, Cruz Reynoso, di- rector or the California Rural Legal Assistance program, said here yesterday. Speaking at the Law Forum of the University of San Diego School of Law, Reynoso said that CRLA is in conflict with Gov. Reagan because CRLA ob- tained just ice for the poor de- spite the opposition of the rich and powerful. "The people have been told, 'Don't settle your grievances in the street; settle them m colll't.' That's what we did and that's why we're in trouble," Reynoso said. FUNDS CITED Gov. Reagan "vetoed" $1.8 million in federal funds to fi- nance CRLA activities for the coming year, but Frank Car- lucci acting director of the Off- ice of Economic Opportunity, allocated 72,000 to finance CRLA throush July 31, Reyn.oso I said. He said Gov. Reagan's plan to replace CRLA with volun- teers from the local bar associa- tion is unworkable. "The poor feet as if they were stabbed in the back." Reynoso said. "When they were finally beginning to receive the legal aid they were promised by the Nixon administration, they were told it had to stop and that the poor were rea]ly second- cla~s citizens after all." REPORTS PROBE Reynoso said Gov. Reagan has spent $400.000 ti) investigate CRLA during the last four years in an effort to discredit it. Carlucci is lo appoint a com- mission lo investigate Gov. Reagan's charges that CRLA is guilty of malpractice and vio- lated guidelines of the OEO. . ''If CRLA is judged on its merits. it will be around for a long time," Reynoso said. A former El Centro attorney, Reynoso now lives and wo:ks _in San Francisco. Among his lis- teners yesterday were USD law students who worked with CRLA during the summer. GIVEN OVATIOK His audience gave him a standing ovation. Reynoso said CRLA_ is ~eal\y a conservative orgamzat1on m that it gives the poor a chance to fight against the rich and powerful · . The only sin that CRLA IS guilty of is being ideologically opposite to Gov. Reagan, he said. In one case brought by CRLA against the governor, Reynoso said, the state Supreme Court had to tell him, "You have tct obey the law, too." . Reynoso said he agreed with the governor that CRLA should not be a part of OEO be~a_use OEO is subject to political maneuvering. PRAISES WORK He said that CRLA should be part of a federally funded pri- vate corporation independent of the ad inistration. "CRLA has done a good job of making government and de- mocracy work," he said. "It's a small price to pay to make our system work. "The poor become cynical when they have the law en- forced against them, but not against the rich." I ~ .a•a.~?l Dr. vve 1ntrauo Will Give USD Inflation Talk Dr. Robert E. Weintraub, a nationally known authority on monetary theory, will speak on "Inflation and Unemployment" tomorrow, at the University of San Die!!o. 0V. wemtraub, will speak at 7:30 p.m. in Room 215, De Sales Hall.

Tough To Find By PETER BROWN • f". '}/ Mike Perry is a junior bellhop with a college degree. In college he was a top student and a campus leader. Now, afler four years and 160 units of study, his career is carrying suitcases. "But I'm lucky, man. I have a job." Five years ago, a counselor at San Diego State told Mike about "the golden door a college diploma would open for you." He thinks that golden door has slammed in his face. "I thought I could pick from challenging work in big com- panies," said Mike. ·'Man, I got that diploma. I did everything they said. I took up marketing. They said it was a going field." '·I hardly got less than an Aminus. I scrambled in campus activities." "When I got out nobody was interested. Some interviewers sort of laughed because they knew there were no jobs." Graduates Taking Any Jobs Available The recession has devalued the diploma for thousands of young San Diegans. Sociology graduates have signed on to the tuna fleet. Therapists with master's degrees are cooking ham- burgers Business graduates are djshwashers. Mike Perry is only one of the well-educated job hunters. Debbie Moore is another. "You kJlOW, it has started to hit the sorority house. The girls know in the back of their minds that they may not find a job. They may get that diploma and it won·t mean anything." Debbie was speaking in the pastel study room of the Alpha Phi sorority house at San Diego State. "I would say you could describe the feeling around here as one of mild alarm. I mean, you wouldn't walk in and right away say 'oh dear.' " Five of Debbie's sorority sisters have become airline stew- ardesses. "Of course, that isn't so bad. It's glamorous. But most of them wanted to be teachers. They are smart girls." Debbie planned to be a teacher fi>r ·ght years. "But I am ready now for the disappointmen I' has happened to too many others." Don Robinson, president of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, said "the seniors in this house don't C\en bother going to the inter- views anvmore." "Guys ·have called off marriage plans, sold their cars, taken any job they can get.·• One big corporation interviewer told Robinson the company had interviewed 1,500 college grads [or three openings. "I am going to split San Diego - a lot of my friends already have gone back east," Robinson said. ··r have my diploma and it's no good here." There are hundreds of other recession tragedies. Part-Time Cab Driver Bock In Cob Dale Craig, a veteran, worked four years as a cab driver_ so he could get a master's degree with a teaching credential. He's back in the cab now. "I may stay here. It's a job and a lot of people don't have one." Mrs. Judith Baker, a graduate with honors in Spanish and French, has found her teacher's credential valueless. "I hunt- ed for nine months; I finally found a job as a bank teller. Nobudy wanted a high school teacher: nobody even gave me any hope." Five college buddies at State. who shared an apartment for four years while they got bachelor of arts degrees, now share jobs tending bar for three Mission Valley restaurants. There are stories just like this at the Universit o UCSD and at UCLA which traditional y p aces gradu• "a!esTn the San Diego market. Three wee!,s ago, placement directors at all four schools described the job picture for 1971 spring graduates as "dismal and disastrous." "I don't think that we will be able to find jobs for more than half of those who come into our office," said San Diego State Placement Director Edward Webb. Slate will turn out about 4,000 graduates this year. . A survey of officials and departments at San_ Diego Sta_te and UCSD during the last week shows considerable dis- agreement on the magnitude of the pr_oblem. All top administrators feel that basic liberal arts _graduates, education graduates, marketing graduates and soc10logy ma- jors will be the hardest hit. "But I don't think you should call it a disaster yet," said a counselor at San Diego State. "I think it will ease up, just like anything else." Three months ago, San Diego Unified School J?istri<;/ bo~rd member Mrs. Louise Dyer said, loudly and publicly: I thmk the colleges and universities in this area are mass producing graduates with a diploma. And I think there are not jobs for a lot of them." Mrs. Dyer recommends a vocational college in San Diego to gear people toward service fields "where there 1s a better hiring picture." Dr. Love Says Curriculum Geared Are colleges like San Diego State systematically turning out graduates with6ut a job for them? . . . "I don't think that is even a fa1r idea," said San Diego State President Malcolm Love. "There is a recession, centainly, and San Diego State is fully aware of it. Bnt I think our curriculum is geared carefully to the needs of the community. It is done with much thinking and much planning." _ . . Love said he knows of no maJor reshuffling at San Diego State because of the recent job market problems. Dr. Harry Ruja, associate dean of curriculum planning at San Diego State, said he feels most of _the work will have to be done on the levels of advising and testing. "I think we want to be sure that people are entering fields where they can get jobs," he said. "Students should give a lot of thought to examining the fields they wi_sh to en~er.,, "Fields do change and we must face this condition. A spokesman for the counseling department a~ State con- firmed this: "We try to alert students who come m to the ]Ob conditions. We want them to know while they are bemg edu- cated what it is like on the job market line." There are dynamic, job-related changes under way through- out the widespread San Diego Unified School D1stnct: . l. Much more consideration is being given to vocallonal planning and to job counseling in the Community College sys- tem.

UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO By OSCAR RODRIGUEZ Spring semester began Monday with a full calendar. Students learned that during the inte ssion, the Knights of Columbus Library began several new services for the benefit of faculty and student body. Gene Hunt, director of public services, announced the start of a new liberalized policy of lo~ns for graduate students, an increase of microfilm hold- ings, and a new reproduction service for five cents, a reduc- tion from the 10-cent service.

Vega suggested that the coun- cil make an interim appoint- ment for 60 days during which a committee should be selected and hearings held by it on the choice of a permanent chief of police. He said the student group is r.ot so much against Hoobler as it is against the process by which he was chosen. "We don't know much about him, but he has been known to be a hardliner," said Vega, a member of the Urban Coalition Law and Justice Task Force. During the press conference, Vega circulated a telegram sent to the roup hy Dr. Tom Fitchoff, dire('1 l)r of the Crimi- nal Justice Program 1!1 San Diego State.

This was a two-year project undertaken to make books available to the students more quickly and efficiently. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA By SUSAN GRAVES A group of students and faculty members at John Muir College has recommended that the school eventually be con- verted into an "open marketplace" where students would be able to choose which courses they wished to take. Under such a proposal, the group said, specific require- ments for graduation would be modified to allow students a bigger voice in what courses they study. The group added, however, that students would be encouraged by advisers to take courses in different areas in order to broaden their edu- cation.

By MIKE RICHMOND The appointment of Ray- mond L. Hoobler to succeed O. J. Roed as police chief was confirmed today by a unani- mous vote of the City Council. Hoobler was picked two w_eeks ago by City Mgr. Wal- ter Hahn to fill the post. Un- der the city charter, however, the appointment is subject. to confirmation by the City Council.

The proposal was made at a recent meeting of the Muir College Council, in which some 100 students and faculty attended. A formal proposal for changing study require- ments is to be drawn up sometime this month by the council and presented to the faculty. If it is approved by the Muir faculty, it will then be put to a vote by the entire UCSD faculty. Among the suggestions brought out at the meeting were two which could be in- cluded in the final proposal. One asks that students be allowed to drop courses with- out penalty. The proposal
