Tuition isn’t the only fee increase

San Jose City College prepairs for another hit on student’s wallets by $1

BY JUAN MENDOZA TIMES STAFF

The Associated Students passed a $1 increase on the mandatory health fee for every semester. Janet Chang director of the Student Health Center is going through the channels to have the mandatory student health fee increased. “The $1 fee increase will help balance the budget for the health center,� Chang said, “so that we can offer services, such as glasses, medical services and psychological services.�

The increase came after the California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott looked at the formula for a budget for college health centers and emailed schools asking them to raise the fee by $1. “If we’re going to have a health clinic, it should be effective,� said Maryam Labib, A.S. director of activities. “Nobody wants to pay a dollar extra,� Chang said, “but this is in our mutual best interest to support this because you should support our program because of what we do, plus ours is still cheaper then De Anza’s.�

At the Associated Students meeting, the item to raise the fee $1 was passed unanimously. “I think it’s fair that fee increases, but I’d like to see more representation of what services they offer,� said Patrick Loera, English major and commissioner of the A.S. newsletter.

Chang still has to go the College Planning Committee, the cabinet that consists of the SJCC president and 2 Vice Presidents, then to the bored of trustees.

JUAN MENDOZA/TIMES STAFF If Chang gets support throughout the next few Former AS president, Raymond Woods speaks on behalf of Director of the Student Health Center, channels, the student health fee will be increased by $1 Janet Chang about the health service increase of $1 on Sept. 21. starting next semester.

Theft and crime on campus affect students Know the right ways to get through the school day by being aware of the surroundings

BY EMILY LAND TIMES STAFF

All students on campus need to know the best way to be involved in a learning environment without the fear of items being stolen or fear of walking around late.

Lieutenant Ruben Chavez, 51, said that crimes on campus are pretty limited to theft, personal safety and relationship issues. “Students leave their items unattended and are more trusting than they should be,� Lt. Chavez said.

The woman who was stealing from Cosmetology students was finally arrested early this semster, nearly six months later, and Lt. Chavez said that the Cosmetology was a very trusting and open environment before that. “Leaving items in your car in not even the best way to go,� Lt. Chavez

said. “Locking the doors wont stop a thief from breaking into the car.�

20-year-old twins, Jazmin and Areli Gonzalez said they understood the risks of bring valuables onto campus. “I am not going to bring my laptop to school, I only bring my books and school supplies,� Jazmin Gonzalez said. “And even if I did I would be more cautious.�

The two accounting students said they know the risks of bringing certain items to school.

But more that putting your things away in lockers or a safe place, Lt. Chavez said that student need to avoid crime on campus maintaining their own personal safety. “Staff, faculty and students need to be aware of their surroundings, especially at night,� Lt. Chavez said. “Anyone can call us and we will provide them with an escort.�

We lost an icon ‘One more thing’ about Jobs’ life and legacy

Steve Jobs is dead. He died in the company of his family in Palo Alto, CA on Wednesday Oct. 5 leaving behind a legacy of inventions and innovations which have changed those around him, Silicon Valley and the World.

Jobs has been described as a punk, a thief and a pirate over the years of his tenure at Apple and NeXT. Many of who have applied these terms to him have been left behind while few others have retained their empires and all have eventually considered Jobs a honored competitor or friend.

With Apple now one of the most-valued companies on the planet with assets greater than multiple countries combined his, legacy shows along with his pride in his work.

The company started off in 1976 with three employees and incorporated with only two, Jobs and his friend and hardware genius Steve Wozniak, combining their talents to create one of the original great personal computers. Jobs, always trying to look for the next great thing, took a couple of

colleagues to Xerox’s PARC to demo their new system; one involving a mouse and application windows.

Jumping on the idea he had his best team start work on a project named after his first daughter, Lisa.

He was ousted from the team in 1982 and joined the Macintosh team, pushing toward his ideal of form not following function but being held in equal regard. With disagreements between him and Apple Computer’s CEO John Sculley, he left to start another company, NeXT Computers.

At NeXT he worked towards making a new type of computer and operating system for the high-end market. The NeXT operating system later became the groundwork for Apple’s Mac OSX after they purchased NeXT and Steve resumed his position of CEO. Before Jobs returned to Apple he purchased LucasFilm’s The Graphics Group and formed it into a new company named Pixar. Jobs supplied top of the line equipment for this company and was able to secure distribution for the movies through Disney.

Rookies Sports Lodge serves up burnt pizza Serving staff was good; manager wasn’t

BY JUAN MENDOZA TIMES STAFF The properly named pizza place.

Members of the San Jose City College Times staff went out to Rookies Sports Lodge, 1535 Meridian Avenue, to celebrate a colleague’s birthday.

The pizza was cooked to perfection if you don’t count the half that was burnt to a crisp.

For others it wasn’t that bad but my slice was pretty .

The atmosphere was that of an old style sports bar with pub style tables and chairs and random memorabilia.

The serving staff was amazingly friendly, but after complaining to the server about my burnt pizza, the manager never came out to acknowledge us.

The pizza was never replaced which was very disappointing. Although one of my colleagues enjoys burnt pizza, I wasn’t pleased.

I can say their choice of toppings on their thin crust pizza, were amazing we had the Sumo (ham and pineapple) and the Leone (pepperoni, salami).

Collectively, we gave this place two and a half “Freddy the Foodies” out of five.

Hot food, hot prices at downtown eatery

BY JUAN MENDOZA TIMES STAFF

Happy Hour started at 9 p.m. at Flames in downtown San Jose at 88 south 4 on Thursday Sept.

22. Flames is a place to go out and have a great time and good food with friends. The restaurant is big on its happy hour with halfoff appetizers for those looking for a cheap eat.

The manager himself seated us and gave great suggestions for us to order with a great smile, without even knowing we were doing a review. During happy hour, the restaurant got almost a lounge-like ambiance with dim lighting and up beat music.

The server showed up to take our order and also gave a

few suggestions. He took our drink order then came back promptly with our drinks to take our food order. The server was really great at making sure all the plates landed in a timely manor.

The food was full of flavor and they gave enormous portion sizes for the price.

We ordered off the appetizer menu and got garlic fries ($3.50), garlic bread ($3.50) and fried calamari ($5).

To me cooking with garlic can be tricky it can be very over powering but this was not at all it was a great blend of herbs and spices.

The over all ambiance, services and food made us give five “Freddie the foodies”

Laser Instructor Sydney Sukuta demonstrates a Quanta-Ray laser beam that is used in Laser 103, advanced laser technology, on Sept. 15.

Laser Technology program beams with job opportunities Silicon Valley companies are sending many of their employees back to school

BY OLIVIA PAYNE TIMES STAFF

The Laser Technology Program prepares students with entry-level technician job experience.

The course offers students hands-on learning.

The students are broken up into small groups and are assigned to work at different stations.

They learn to collect data using lab notebooks and write technical reports. Students are trained to install, operate, maintain and modify laser/electrooptic systems.

“The program gives students the opportunity to get employed. They get job experience while still going to school,” said laser professor Sydney Sukuta.

The LT program encourages students to graduate with a Laser Technology Certificate or an associate of science degree.

“More than 90 percent of workforces do not have degrees in laser technology,” Sukuta said.

LT students have a potential for positions at the biggest laser companies in Silicon Valley.

Companies on the cutting-edge of laser electrooptics technology, such as Spectra-Physics, Coherent, JDS Uniphase, New Focus, Lightwave Electronics and Lawrence Livermore National Labs have employed and continue to seek graduates from the program for employment.

The LT Program has been sponsored by 80

percent of the laser companies in the Silicon Valley, Sukuta said.

The companies who sponsor the program send their employees to San Jose City College to complete a degree in laser technology. In exchange, the LT Program receives all of its laser equipment.

A number of students sent from companies have master’s degrees and Ph.D.s, Sukuta said.

“I feel it’s going to prepare me in the future of technology and enhance my knowledge,” said student Ahn Tran.

Most people do not know the abilities of lasers.

Lasers are used everyday, where we least suspect it.

Lasers are used everywhere from detecting cancer tissue to the common bar code scanner at the grocery store Sukuta said.

“I like how I can apply laser technology to the real world,” said LT student Kheit Pham.

The LT Program offers four different levels of Laser Technology courses, Introduction to Phototonics, Laser Optics, Intermediate Laser Technology and Advanced Laser Technology.

The program has been taught by Sydney Sukuta since 2001. There are currently 55 students enrolled in the LT Program.

The four course program is broken down, so only two courses are taught each semester. The fall 2011 semester offers Laser 100 Introduction to Phototonics and Laser 103 Intermediate Laser Technology.

“Being in school studying and aligning lasers everyday gave me greater advantage than most of my co-workes. I was able to apply things that I learned and I made a lot of changes on the way that lasers were being aligned,” said student Juan Lugo.

How A.S. voted on action items The following items were passed: ■ Allow students who receive book voucher to also purchase supplies with voucher ■ Put KJCC back on the air ■ Release money for United Nations Days fliers, not to exceed $50 ■ Approve budget for SSCCC general assembly, not to exceed $900

The following items were tabled: ■ Increase of graphing calculator rental fee from $25 to $40 ■ Travel costs for Region IV Rep ■ Release of funds for Halloween event ■ Council covering half of the cost of A.S. shirts ■ Reinstate funding for KJCC

The Vietnamese Student Association has helped the Vietnamese students with financial aid, classes and other student services such as the health office at San Jose City College. With the new semester upon us, the VSA met on Sept.

22 to discuss the past year’s efforts, chartering, and the club’s future on campus.

The VSA had a large impact on the campus last year with fundraisers for Japanese tsunami victims and is planning on fundraisers in connection with the Red Cross of America for more disaster support, said Andy Nguyen, president of the VSA. He plans on working with established charities such as Toys for Tots and local food banks for this semester.

“Our club worked with EOP&S (Extended Opportunity Program & Services) and the Financial Aid Office as well as with student services to help provide (services) for students on campus,” said Patricia Nguyen,

VSA adviser and English as a second language instructor.

On changes made to club formation as well as requirements for advisers, Patricia Nguyen mentioned no real change in how the club has been running, and that last semester she had a coadviser to help her with the club’s activities. Andy Nguyen said that other than the late start for the clubs, there was no change in their usual activities.

Ali Siebenthal, a 21-year-old art major was supportive of the VSA’s activities but had one idea for a fundraiser.

“They need to do a Pho Fundraiser,” she said.

So far 35 students have signed up for the club, and Andy Nguyen is hoping for more.

“Everybody is welcome to join,” said Andy Nguyen, to which Patricia Nguyen added, “As long as you are a student at SJCC and have paid your $5 activity fee.”

Vietnamese Student Association meets first Friday of each month in GE 121.

Transfer Center usage on the rise

BY CORDELL KINTNER TIMES STAFF

Over the past few years, the Career/Transfer Center has seen an increase in the number of students using the center, said Dorian Trann, counselor and career transfer center director. In 2009 there was a 31 percent increase in attendance, and it has risen every year since then, but the center staff would still like to see more students.

“We definitely want to increase our transfer rate,” said Trann, “a good number of our students may not be aware of all the different options that they have out there.”

Located on the second floor of the Student Center across from the Counseling Department, the center is one of the many student services on campus. Its main function is to provide information

about transferring to other campuses, and helping students in planning their college and career futures. “(We want to) help students understand they have possibilities,” said Carol Vasquez, academic adviser of the Transfer Center.

The center offers services such as help with school applications, bus tours of schools, resume writing workshops and many others, said Trann.

“I thought it would be harder (to transfer), but it’s a lot easier,” 18 year old Kyle Santomaaro said after attending one of the transfer center’s workshops.

The center helps students transfer to California State Universities, Universities of California, and private schools. “With our services,” Trann said. “We want to help them transfer to whatever school they want to.”

JOBS

From page 2 After his return to Apple he shut down many of the projects such as the Newton personal planner and the Apple Compact Disc player. By consolidating these resources and focusing back on well-designed multimedia experiences he was able to create a product which allowed Apple to prosper.

At the same time he helped push devices which implemented his vision of an Apple family of devices, including the iPod. With the progression of the Apple devices towards smaller sizes with greater access to other applications he decided it was time to work on a device to replace the cell phone.

The iPhone was the first device to marry Jobs’ belief in an easy user interface with mobile internet and a software base which allowed the installation of a growing library of applications. This device was an instant hit and competitors were quick to create their own devices to capitalize on the many innovations just as the Personal Computer market adopted the windowed interface and the mouse.

After a couple of iPhone revisions Jobs had another trick up his sleeve. He introduced the iPad, a tablet using the same interface as the iPhone but with a much larger form factor, a direct attack at the failed tablet computer industry attempted by nemesis Microsoft.

This came at much a shock to the tech world because it allowed any user to access deep applications through an innovative touch interface that was unseen outside of movies.

With these devices came a push away from the PC market, ironically created mostly by Jobs with the Apple II, toward the phone and tablet market, which is being felt today in computer sales.

The iPhone and iPad have been updated to new versions and extended to include storing books, magazines and newspaper while Jobs’ health deteriorated. He stepped down from his position as CEO to take over as the Chairman of the Board of Directors to focus on his health. On Wednesday the iPhone 4S was revealed, minus a grinning Jobs and his “One more thing.” This was unusual, but expected given his transition. Later that night it was announced that he had died, bringing to end an era of exploration and innovation in technology, how that tech interacts with us and how we interact with the world.

Gears of War 3 brings closure

BY BRIAN BERTRAND TIMES STAFF

When you think of thirdperson shooter video games, especially on the Xbox 360, you think of the Gears of War franchise. Epic Games, makes of the franchise, have finally closed this amazing trilogy and ended it with a major blaze of vibrant colors and more of that gritty action that made the series a flagship for developer Epic Games.

The single player campaign picks up where Gears of War 2 left off. The Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) must leave the main land to reach a remote island that houses a research and repopulation facility, away from the Locust. Meanwhile, another threat, named the Lambent, is using their infecting emulsion to invade the bodies of Locust and humans alike. The twists and turns within the story will keep you hooked and wanting more every time you turn on your console With more of a refined emphasis on graphics, Epic made a major effort not only making colors more bright and open, but darker shadows mixed with fine detail. Every stage is a feast for the eyes even with enemy brain matter splattered all over the walls. It’s beautiful but still very gritty.

Gameplay has ben slightly improved, making it easier to perform melee kills with the Lancer’s chainsaw and Retro Lancer’s bayonet. The controls don’t deviate from the previous games either. No major overhauls or changes but there are some additions, especially a new weapon called

the digger. This monster of a grenade launcher will burrow underground and jump up at the closest target before exploding in the air. It adds a new perspective in strategy against your enemies.

Online gameplay has also been given a nice incentive for gamers. Rather than follow the Modern Warfare style of rewards, Gears has many unlocks that can be grandfathered in from the previous games, similar to Microsoft’s Halo Waypoint system for the Halo franchise. It feels nice to have a gold weapon unlocked when I chainsaw 100 Locust in Horde!

Gears has made a major overhaul with Horde mode (titled Horde 2.0), which not only pits up to six players, via Xbox Live, against the Horde, but offers up a nice defensive strategy element, allowing you to add spike belts, command posts, turrets, and other defensive pieces to the map, which maximizes kills and lifespan of the players.

One unique mode added to this new title is Beast Mode. It’s exactly like Horde 2.0 but from the perspective of the Locust (enemies of the human soldiers).

In this mode, players pick to play as Locust soldiers from the insect-like tickers all the way up to the unstoppable berserkers.

Your objective is simple: kill all humans within the time limit.

This game is an amazing game, hands down. I did notice some minor glitches but that’s all it was, minor. The campaign is gripping and the multiplayer is down right F-U-N fun in every sense of the word. Gears of War 3 by Epic Games gets five item boxes out of five.

New athletic director knows what needs to be done Coach Carr is given a challenge he enjoys, incorporates Creative Athletic Retention Response program.

BY PATRICK LOERA CONTRIBUTOR

Head coach of the basketball team, Percy Carr is hitting the ground running as the new athletic director with the support of the physical education faculty.

“We’d like to get more faculty and students and anybody that works as faculty, classified to come out, watch our games, participate in all of our sports because we have a good sports program here at San Jose City College,” Carr said.

For several years, head coach of the softball team Deborah Huntze-Rooney has been the athletic director at SJCC. Huntze-Rooney has also led the Lady Jags to what could be a 3-peat as conference champions. However, she decided to make a change this semester.

Carr said that he and Huntze-Rooney came to an agreement where he would be the athletic director and she would take over as physical education coordinator, essentially switching positions.

“Being that she was the athletic director last year, she is also giving me some help on how things are done. She was in charge of that program for a couple years and viceversa,” Carr exclaimed. “If I have any knowledge at all on the P.E. side, I help her. So, basically we’re working together.”

According to his online profile for Jaguar athletics, Carr has been with SJCC for the past 34 years, and has a success record in both basketball and with the Creative Athletic Retention Response program.

Carr now dedicates an equal amount of time to being the head coach for the basketball team, supervisor of the CARR program and the athletic director.

“It’s been interesting. I enjoy it. I’m beginning to love it more and more each day,” said Carr. “It’s challenging, but I like challenges, and I like to see all of our programs do well.”

The athletic director is responsible for “anything that deals with athletics. Game preparations, scheduling, eligibility, being at games; help supervise games, and making sure that transportation is available for the teams to go to away games and events,” said

Carr.

Aside from supervising various games and going to league meetings, “talking to various support groups and commissioners that we’re involved within our athletic program” is another key aspect of the position, said Carr.

He admits that he doesn’t have as much time for basketball and CARR, but has complete confidence in his assistant coaches and CARR staff.

Carr also credits his colleague and CARR academic advisor Veronica Harris for doing an excelCARR lent job in preparing the students.

“It has nothing to do with fundraising, or even winning basketball games or winning football games, it’s strictly academic,” Carr said.

According to Carr, eligibility is one of the biggest issues in sports at SJCC that is why there’s a strict process in which all student-athletes are given weekly eligibility checks.

“The weekly check affect me in a good way, they keep me on track,” said Vince Karouse who is a 26 year old Engineering major and power forward for the basketball team.

Carr feels that the athletic department should be at another level because everybody is working hard to get the athletes to graduate. He also believes that there are some more changes that can transpire to improve the department such as getting more students and faculty to attend home games for all sports.

Jaguars try to recover after another loss SJCC returns home from a long road trip with an 0-4 record

■VOLLEYBALL - BYE

The Jaguars come back home to Jaguar stadium after a hard 0-4 start played mostly on the road, but as history has it San Jose City College still has a chance to win another bowl game.

“A crowd helps. It gives us energy and the players appreciate it,” said Carlton Conner head coach of SJCC football.

Conner is pulling out all the stops, and will not tolerate any excuses for miscommunications on the field.

“It’s time to put up or shut up,” said Conner.

Last season, SJCC went 0-5 going into regional conference games. However, they pulled out of their slump by the end of the season, coming together as a team at the right moments, wrapping up the 2010 conference, 6-0.

“It’s challenging, but I like challenges, and I like to see all of our programs do well.”

As undefeated conference champions, despite their half-season record, the Jaguars were still invited to play in the Living Breath Foundation Bowl game at Monterey Peninsula College Stadium, and beat Solano College 39-12.

This season, the Jaguars have started off 0-4 which can be perceived as history repeating itself; on the flip-side, the deciding game for the 0-5 start will be played at home, not away this season.

“We’ve been getting beat, but we’re playing like a team now and we’re playing harder,” said 19-year-old outside linebacker and kinesiology major Tagro Laditad, that is still on the disabled list.

Coach Conner believes the Jaguars are prepared for the challenges that are in front of them.

“We’re here now, which means that we have to play at a higher level. I think we have a good shot against Chabot,” said Conner. “We have a better chance to win against teams in our conference.”
