Almost one out of everv three women in this country will contract cancer in their lifetime. With such a high figure, the deadly disease makes its mark everywhere. When cancer struck Addie klotz, the former executive director of the Student Health Center, the university lost what many people described as "a very special person.”
After a two-year battle against cancer, Klotz died early last Saturday morning at Northridge Hospital. She
was 51.
A memorial celebration will be held for Klotz at 3 p.m. today in the Religious Center. The service, organized by the student affairs committee, will include comments mm from	various	university
administrators and friends who worked closelv with Klotz during her	ife
years at the university'.

“It will be a time for us to reflect on her contributions to the university." said Alvin Rudisill, the university chaplain.
Other speakers will include James Appleton, vice-president of student affairs. Anna Bing Arnold, representing the Board of Trustees and members from student health and counseling services
Klotz became executive director of the health center in 1971. At that time, the center was hardly utilized bv students.
Under her leadership the center changed and grew to reach more students.
AlanR. Hedman, associate director of student health and counseling services, said the best evidence of her work was the increased use of the center. Last year, 80% of the student bodv went to the center for help — with an average of 230 students coming in a day.

Committee reaffirms Mideast Center should be established
Deans criticize
negative press
The Council of Deans adopted a resolution stating when President John Hubbard announced his impending resignation, "publicity irrelevant to the significance of this announcement muted entirely what should have been the public response."
Hubbard's announcement came the day the Los Angeles Times published a storv on the honorary degree the universitv awarded to the shah of Iran in 1975. The deans' resolution defends the universitv against the controversial publicity given to this award and to the proposed Middle East Center.
In a separate letter published Wednesday in the Los Angeles Times, Robert Biller, chairman of the Council of Deans, said it was unfair of the Times to publish an article about the honorary degree on the day of Hubbard's announcement.
"...the juxtaposition erroneously gave the impression that the two were linked, when they were not," said Biller in a letter to the editor. He said he wrote as a faculty member and not as chairman of the Council of Deans.
The deans' resolution praises Hubbard for continuing the work of President Norman Topping in achieving improvement in the academic quality of the university.

Discrimination against children

Members of the Middle East Center committee have agreed that a center should be established at the universitv. The committee also agreed that academic integrity and political neutrality can be maintained within the center and that sufficient funding is necessary to carry out the programs of the center.
These terms of general consensus were presented to the executive committee of the Board of Trustees Wednesday by Carl Christol, chairman of the committee.
"We have not had a single person tell us that there should not be a center. The resolutions adopted by the Faculty Senate, Board of Trustees, Student Senate, President's Advisory' Council and Council of Deans all approve of the idea of having a center," Christol said.
The committee feels academic integrity can be maintained simply by following the traditional policies of the university.
Ways to maintian political neutrality within the center are also being considered by the committee.
"We want to have a clear line of authority established in the universitv so we will know who the director of the center is to report to. Also an
internal committee, composed of faculty members and an outside board of eminent people who are experts in the Middle East field might be formed to offer advice to the center."
These and other measures if accepted by the Board of Trustees would help maintain political neutrality, Christol said.
"Everything about the center will be done out in the open. The center will be living in a goldfish bowl. If there is a change in curriculum or a replacement in the faculty evervone will know. A policy of openness will be maintained," Christol said.
The committee has not spelled out in final form how funds are to be solicited for the center, but whatever money is available should be from a multiplicity of sources, Christol said. He also emphasized that once the funds are received they will be utilized as the university sees fit. "The supplier of the funds will not direct how they will be used."
Members of the university administration had hoped that a final report could have been given by this time, but Christol said the delicacy' and complexity of the issue warranted careful
