Students Back Sacked Press At California College

Three hours later over 600 students packed the Little Theater to urge the Student Senate to postpone action on a Test-Tuition plan, backing Weir dismissal. Meanwhile a third sociology professor, Prof. Walt Hunt, said he was notified Tuesday by the Retention Tenure and Promotion Committee of the Sociology Department.

Tax hike on Long Beach property owners over dual exemptions
About 1,300 Long Beach property owners face higher city taxes after applying for both veteran and homeowner exemptions. The council set Nov 12 for hearings on increases caused by denials of either exemption. Deputy City Attorney Bennett noted public hearing is required for raised assessments, but attendance by owners is often unlikely. California Prop 1A created a $740 homeowner exemption and a $1,000 veteran exemption, disallowing both on the same property.
