Quake Panel Sets Guidelines For Future Temblors
A blue ribbon panel formed to study the Feb 9 quake met in Los Angeles and approved a broad guideline set to guide a report due by April 30. Members include Dr Harold Brown of Caltech, Dr Charles Richter and Arthur Mann with others unable to attend. The group will assess building codes and disaster procedures while aiming to predict and control future temblors and consider a county earthquake center at Caltech. Public meetings will be weekly, and the county extends the state of emergency through March 9 with proposals for multiple hospitals at Olive View and a memorial regional park in Sylmar. Authorities also seek one or more radio stations to broadcast official disaster information.

State College Trustees to Review Faculty Proposals
A State College Trustees committee moved to revise faculty promotion retention and tenure processes. The nine point guideline aims to end a long standing disagreement between college presidents faculty leaders and trustees. The package awaits March 23 24 board action with a public hearing scheduled May 25 26. It would extend probation for instructors with campus president discretion up to two more years and limit tenure eligibility to faculty with tenure or concurrent appointment. Students were debated in evaluating retention and tenure with student leader Ric Opalka urging status quo.

The centerpiece by Assemblyman Alan Sieroty would lower possession or cultivation from a felony to a misdemeanor with a maximum 90 days in jail and a $250 fine. Other Sieroty measures target bans on influences, places of use, and narcotics offender registration and hospital narcotics reporting. Assemblyman Ken Meade’s bill would curb harsher sentences for addicts or those with prior narcotics convictions.
