Segment 1 (silent + sound): Man exiting airplane on tarmac, "Pacific" on side of airplane, enters terminal, greeted by woman. Segues to interview with reporter. Script reads, "Vietnam Visitor. An official representative of the South Vietnamese government said today that a Buddhist take-over in South Vietnam is virtually impossible. Dang Duc Khoi, Director of Public Affairs for the South Vietnamese Embassy, made the statement shortly after his arrival at San Jose's Municipal Airport.

Segment 2 (silent): People touring the interior of a police station, showing teletype machines, filing shelves, sorting machine, exhibit case of guns, men walking outside at night. Script reads, "The San Jose citizens at this hour are riding through the streets of the city in squad cars -- in a new experiment in public relations by the San Jose Police Department. The police invited the citizens to see what a police man's job looks like from the other side of the windshield. Sergeant Bob Moyer began the evening with a tour through the Police Department, beginning with the police night shift briefing session for officers going on duty. The project is a public relations program aimed at the City's minority groups. Tonight members of the Mexican American Civic Council got the tour. In future weeks representatives of other minority groups are expected to be invited. All this comes at a time when the police public relations is nursing a black eye. Last week a dozen minority group leaders walked out of a meeting with the police advisory board...after Chief Ray Blackmore refused to allow the formation of a citizen's board to investigate complaints against police. Tonight's tour included various sections of the police department -- records -- detectives -- and communications. The group later paired off to spend several hours riding with police officers on their beats to get the feel of what it's like behind the badge."

The vote, however, serves only as an expression of opinion and is not binding. The results of the referendum will be submitted to the Board of Trustees. Dr. Maurice Osborne, Executive Director of the Student Health Service, commented to Channel 11 news regarding the Health Service's stand on the matter..."

The Broncos scored 3 times in the 1st and twice in the 2nd to put the ball game out of reach...the two teams meet tomorrow at Stanford at 2 pm."

Segment 1 (silent): Exterior and interior shots of Winton Hotel.

The 50-year old, two-story building, located at the corner of Second and San Fernando Streets, it he first such structure to come under the City's public nuisance abatement ordinance. Fire Marshal John Gerhard said yesterday that the owners must either install sprinklers along the 13-foot-long second story hallway, or construct a second exit at the end of the dead-end corridor.
