Blamed for Energy CriSis

By Steve Leckie .Profi teering big business and corrupt btg government, working hand in hand, are the cause of our current energy crisis.

That is the consensus reached by three City College ins truc tors at a Symposium on Energy held last Thursday on the SJCC campus. . In a ~ully lit and overly warm room, f11led w1th a mostly student audience the panel addressed itself to the subject: The Energy Crisis : Fact or Fraud?

The panel included Jack Burrows of t~e History Department . Harry Hass, Bw!ogy Department, and Jim Gray, SociOlogy Department. John Graham acted as moderator.

Lea d?ff ~p.eaker J im Gray stated that the avatlabthty of energy is the key to the future . Listing the sources of energy as : solar, tides , geothermal and fussion, Gra:t noted. thatonly solar energy, i~­ cludmg fosstl fuels , oil and natural gas IS m extensive use thus prone to depletion.

" In the 30 years between 1970 and 2000 the amount of energy used will equal the amount the world has used prior to that time," sta ted Gray. This consumption rate combined with the unwillingness to develop alternative sources of energy, Gray feels, IS the crux of the current problem.

Reinforcing Gray's argument was J ack Burrows, who believes private enterprise, a ided by government, is the real villian in the energy crisis drama.

Burrows called big business the fourth and most powerful branch of our government. " Our free enterprise system has made us a nation of over consumers, where we, who comprise only 6% of the world population, use 35% of the worlds energy," he went on. Waste is encouraged stated Burrows. He views the current energy crisis as an excuse for big business, unrestrained by government, to ravage the land without concern for the environment. Burrows advocated the nationali£ation of oil companies and

DEBATING SHORTAGE- Is the 'energy crisis' for real? While most of us are doing what we can to conserve, some doubt the very existence of the shortage. These debaters, all City College faculty members. From left, John Graham, Jack Burrows, Harry Hass, and J im Gray.

Holland Stays Local Despite Oil Crisis not gone off the deep end, as are Americans some beginning to do.

Whether you are in support of the Israeli cause , or not, Holland has to be admired for its steadfast loyalty.

Here is a nation which has very little effect on the interna tiona! situation, the Middle East included, but they refuse to desert an old friend for the sake of monetary profit.

There may be hard times ahead for the Dutch, but if anyone survives they will.

The point is, all of us will survive. Maybe not in the grand, wasteful style Vte've been doing it in up til now, but survive nonetheless.

The Arabs have made an example of Holland, and other countries, most notably Japan, are abandoning former favorable stands for Israel to jump on the Arab oil bandwagon.

As a result, the Dutch are finding out just how lonely a prospect sticking up for your principles can be.

An interesting question has arisen ; will America scurry from the Israeli camp so it may gain favor with the oil - rich Arab nations?

The pressure is obviously overwhelming. Already , large oil companies, such as Standard Oil, have expressed a desire to become sympathetic to the Arab cause. Of course, this new found sympathy is very recent. It began just about the time the energy crisis hit the front pages.

Since such corporations have such a tremendous pull in government policy, this attitude may have a telling effect the next time Golda Meir arrives in Washington !-' •. to obtain her yearly supply of fall of 1965 until this fall. ·-·:,SURPRISE! - Mary Van bombers.

In principle, it couldn 't be better.

Because of the support of Israel, the Netherlands has been almost ttally cut off from Arab oil. Driving has been banned altogether on Sundays, and all facets of Dutch life are being severely affected.

But, for the most part, the small European hation has somewhat reluctantly accepted its fate. They have

The Big Eye We're surprised that they don't claim it cures cancer.

The makers of STP Oil Treatment make it sound like a fountain of youth for old cars and a super tonic for new cars.

They claim it does everything from protecting engine parts to reducing heat, noise, friction, and wear.

They say 1t's the "racer's edge. " Whatever t hat means. Well, here's what STP Oil Treatment really is.

It's a can of th1ck goo that makes the oil it's added to thicker.

But_if you want a thicker oil, you can just buy a heav1er grade of oil (like 40 or 50 weight) in the first place. Or if you want a "multi-viscosity" oil (like lOW ·30), you can just buy that, too. And save the expense of STP. For most cars under almost all dnving conditions. the right motor oil is all you'll ever need for your car's crankcase.

The very nicest thing we can say about STP Oil Treatment is that it's probably a waste of money.

But there are less nice things, too.

STP can change the proportions of chemic:el additives (detergent, anti-rust, etc.) already for· mulated in most motor oils, and it can make cold weather starts harder.

Mercedes Benz even says it could invalidate their new car warranties.

Many motoJ oil manufac turers, includinl Kendall. Quaker State, Pennzoil and Valvoline, advise you not to use additives like STP. Even Consumer Reports (July 1971) says you don't need STP. The makers of STP must have forgotten to mention all that. And what do you have on the other side? "The racer's edce."

Whatever that means.

Elderly Painting A short course in beginning painting is being offered for senior citizens every Wednesday from 3 to 5 p .m . at San Jose City College.

The non - graded, no credit course is offered a s part of th e Community Services program for senior citizens .

Beginning Painting includes a study of beginning painting techn iques, taught

by Mrs. Helen Kindall, then aJlows participants to work at their own pace on projects of their own choice. The class structure allows for group encouragement and evaluation.

No-Credit Increasing The credit - no credit , system of grading is on the increase at San Jose City College, according to Dr. Robert L . Brown, registrar / of SJCC. Brown foresees much m ore of an increase, although he says that the credit - no credit grading will not completely replace the traditional grading system.

The credit - no credit system was initiated in the 1967 - 68 school year, with an estimated 92 different courses having the option of credit - no credit or the traditional grading. Certain courses, such as reading library study are impossibl~ to evaluate and are mandatory credit - no credit.

There are now 184 credit - no credi t courses and 17 mandatory credit - no credit courses. " I don't see why every student doesn't take credit no credit courses. It's a good deal ," says Mr. Brown.

This system is of growing popularity as clos e to 2,000 students take the credit - no credit option. The systenn wor ks like this : If a student feels that he or she is failing a course they can opt to credit - no credit.

During the 14th week of the semester the teacher hands out credit - no credit cards to the s tudents instructing them to take the cards to the r egistration office.

The tea cher then proceeds to give the students the A grades . tr a ditiona l computer in the office ma tches the teacher's card a nd the s tudent's card and types " P " (pass) or NC (no credit) on the records.

All foreign languages and certain math courses need at least an earned grade of "C" in order to get straight credit. Anything lower, the computer will type in NC meaning this is a non : progressive g rade.

The syste m was designed for courses that a student may not do well in a nd ordinarily struggle in order to keep th eir grade point average up. Credit - no credit allows the s tudent to get a passing grade and not feel any pressure to get an "A" or "B".

Not all the colleges in the country ha ve this system but San J ose City Colleg~ students have not had a ny proble m t ra nsferring the

courses at any state university in the state of California.

There has been some problems out of state at the graduation level. Not all graduate schools will accept the accredited units and will sometimes penalize the student. This shouldn't be any problem for the student because he can come back to SJCC and convert the creditno credit to the grade that the teacher gave him . There is no time limit as to when the student can convert the grade.

New Science Course in ~74 A new course this spring semester at SJCC, Environmental Science 10, will have a team of three instructor s zeroing in on proble ms of pollution , transportation , energy shortage a nd diminishing resources in today 's society.

The course, carrying three units of college credits, will be under the direction of McFarlin , Andrew engineering; Harry Hass, biological science; a nd Lloyd Oksen, }>hysical science.

The course is expected to afford students the opportunity of examining current issues presented by guest speakers, instructors / and field trips .

McFarli n said of the course, " It is designed to help students have a better understanding of the causes and effects of many current environmen tal problems, together with possible solutions.

Changing life styles and posing problems will also come in for review in the course.

Community residents who want to sign - up for courses at the college are reminded they may take only one or two courses, and not a full schedule if this is their wish.

San J ose City College has st reamlin ed made those for provisions registrants, who may apply now for spring semester classes beginning February 5, 1974.

Res idents of San Jose Community College District are eligible to attend SJCC classes tuition - free.

McCartney's·Fantasies On the Wings __ Paul McCartney is a man who blew it. First, he left the biggest rock band in the world, splitting them up in wake . Secondly, he got married at a time when his sex appeal was in its prime.

And thirdly, he recorded four perfectly dull albums that aren ' t worth the plastic they're pressed on .

Now , with his fourth album , "Band On The Run ", McCartney really seems to be taking his music seriously. This new album really has some decent stuff on it, and it rocks, instead of plods.

The best stuff, of course, is the stuff that he gets to boogie on : "Helen Wheels" "1985" , and the title tune: stuff soft the But "Mamunia" and "No Words': . is actually pleasant.

All we have now is a 45 on Columbia, and it's good. Too good, a s a matter of fact, for an unknown. And, it was produced by Jeff Wayne from that excellent defunct group The Move, so at least we know where he's been for two or three years.

Essex appeared on Midnile Special two weeks ago , and from what I could tell he had no freak appeal whatsoever. In fact he appeared more normal than Gilbert O'Sullivan. So why is Columbia promoting "Rock On'' with a picture that makes the man appear as the next David Bowie? Why? Maybe, Knows?

College Times, Friday, Dec. 14, 1973

W omen En d Season; De Anza Pla yo ff Today City College 's women's basketball team will finish off their season tonight with another game against the DeAnza Dons of Cupertino.

Both teams will meet for a playoff, due to a win for each in earlier seasonal ac tion.

The game will be played in the main gym on the DeAnza campus at 6 p.m . today.

City's women cagers racked up another win, this time the Vikings of Diablo Valley College went home with the loss.

The 47 - 31 win over the Concord team put City 's 'superwom en' at 11-l for the season.

Looking over last year's scorebook, the shoe seemed to have been on the other foot.

DVC was able to maintain

a substantial lead, which they gained early in the game, right up to the ending buzzer. The Vikings won last year 's contest bv a score of .

56 - 48.

The leading scorer turned in 22 points for the evening and she just happened to be a DVC.player, Sue Scott.

Th1s year's returning women · Jags wanted revenge, not only because of the previous game loss but also the fact that Diablo 's Scott took the scoring. It seems that the women cagers of City College were successful in this endeavor too .

Ci~y's women hoopsters received a warning of the retur ning Sue Scott's shooting capabilities and ac_complishments already th1s year. The DVC Enquirer of Nov. 9 had quite an elaborate article complimenting the tea~ as a whole and impressing upon

forth and had a 2-2 record for the day.

The winner for the day was the very powerful Chabot team with a score of 97. The Jags finished second at 81, West Valley and Fresno City came in third and fourth with scores of 44 and 37.

So far Coach Huerta is very pleased with the teams progress. The team this year is very young with most of the surrounding high schools supplying the talent. The only returning men are Strangis and Gurich, but e ven Gurich hasn't too much experience after he sat out

last sea~on. ~ven though the team IS Inexperience d Coach Huerta feels they have matured and have become more confident.

The team will travel to the City for an invitational at San Francisco City College tomorrow and then after c .h ristmas vacation they will h1t the road and compete in the Cal Poly Invitational on t he third and fifth of J~nuary. Then the "Gang" Will tune up for their first conference match when they host Northern Idaho Consumnes , and Am~rican River, her on January 8.

Gang' Tal{,es·

Second At DeA nza Jerry Strangis and h is "Purple Gang", alias the Jag wrestling team, rolled into DeAnza for the DeAnza invitationa l last Saturday, and rolled out with a second place finish out of 16 teams.

The "Gang" placed five men in the finals one of which took the individua~ champio nship. Jerr y Strangis, one of the two returning Sophomore s beat Mark Mitchell of Cabrillo 8-1 to take the top spot. Strangis along with John Gurich are the only veteran Coach Sam

Huerta has on his roster, and J err y is coming through with fine performan ces.

Gary Gallup a freshmen looked good against the two men he faced as he swept the 126 lb. class beating Bruce Lemos fr om West Valley and John Takao of Skyline. In the 142lb. elass Jose Acosta took decision from Ben Bides and Steve Wiblin from Hartnell and · Cabrillo to take that weight class. Jeff Romona pinned his opponent Ron Coal and took a decision over Carl Candlar before losing a

the reader the ability of this particular player. Part of this article stated : "Scott, who probably would have po ints twenty scored shooting from the janitor's closet, again led in total points with 26. " What h a ppened against City?

It seemed as though someone locked the janitor 's closet, without letting Ms. Scott know, and un · fortunately misplaced the key. Or was it just tha t the highly praised shooter's mop and bucket got in her way?

Or were they just too heavy for her to lug around?

The Vikings ' Scott was held to a measly 12 point total for the evening.

Despite the opponent 's inability to score often, the women· Jags weren't able to pull out in front until the second half. " Even though we weren't hitting, as effectively as we

can, we were able to hang in there . The score shows how well we did hang on too. The end of the first quarter found us behind only by three. And by the end of the next period we had pulled to within one point. At half · time the scor e was 17 • 18." commented Coach Davenport.

The coach of the female · Jags went on to say : " We started to pressure DVC early in the second half and this brought our fast break play. We s tarted to connect soon a fterwards. " Not enough can be said about the rebounding unit that City has. Although they were able to bring down only a minimal 25 rebounds, the Jags a lways seemed to have the better floor position.

The explanation : "They <DVC> had a definite height advantage over us ," commented Ms. Davenport, but she proudl y added, "we were able to out · jump them on

several occasions. " Delores Johnson fight for the 10 she was cre dited bringing down. Patti picked off six for the Jags .

An infection that means a day in bed for a normal child is a threat to the life of a child with leukemia .

Today research has made enormou s progress.

At one time, leukemia victims lived on ly a few months. Now, in some cases, we can prolong their lives a few years. That's good. But not good enough.

Even though we're closer to a cure, leukemia is still the major cause of disease and death in kids between the ages of 3 and 14.

We want to save the life of every leukemia victim.

We can't do it without a healthy contribu tion from you.

to attend the Fall Sports ' Awards Banquet.

I Before attending decided to do a litll~ investigating into the history of th~ banquet, as a school func twn, .of course My digging uncov.ered a lot of facts that most people probably aren't aware of ~as banquet This origin~lly started when State and City were one college combined. The two split and became differentiated into San Jose State College and Jose Community San College.

City College's student body constitutio n holds the banquet, not just as an idea but as a reality.

Eac~ semester, the men's teams members are invited to an awards dinner. The coaches present their own team members with the awards that each honored a~hle te h~s . earned through h1s participation on the team . , Awar~s are presented to improved most the athlete" , "most outstanding freshman ", " most outstanding sophomore" and " most _outstanding athlete" accordmg to the individual team_'!>. coach's discretion.

Th1s 1s all well and good however the women athlet~ of t~s college don't seem to rece1ve any recognition by t~~ school, for their partlclpatJon. The women have asked the student body for money to cover an awards banquet . but last year the request was turn~ down and a lump sum was given to the women. The only drawback to this is t he lit.tle overlooked fact that th1s money (1,000) must be distribu t~d among the four teams th1s year (this is in· clu?ing both the fall and the sprmg semesters).

With a rough average of 80 :-vomen athletes a Year how JS the money alloted from the s tudent body! to cover the costs of runmng the teams?

But don they also deserv~ some ki~d of recognition?

You migh~ ask: what has been done m the past for these outstanding women? . The answer is qu ite Simple .. If ' the coach of the sport d1dn t get the players together for a dinner (where brou ht everyon e something) NOTHING ~AS DONE. Isn't it about time that these women heard some e on , say : "Yo u ve come al g on · way, ba by! " ~

SJCC Fiv~ On Winn ing Streak · College City The Basketball team made it three straight wins in· four games this season, in dumping a tough North Peralta Junior College five last Saturday in Alameda.

The 'big men won 84 · 78 in what cer tainly couldn't be considered an easy victory, but not good heads - up basketball led throughout. In four games the team has had problems with errors which have con tinued to plague the . team. The J ag s in un· believable style made a fat 40 turnovers, which marred this game.

Basketbal l Coach P at Dougherty, who was m iffed by 14 walking violations, is under the impression that the team will improve with confidence in their own play.

He went on to say that he felt the young team , with only two ret ur nees from last years' squad , will be ready for Conference play , which begins right here , the night of January 4 against Chabot Junior College.

In any case, Dougherty was impr essed with the team 's play in the first half, wi th a good looking figure of 19 offensive rebounds. He felt the team , who had led by as much as 12 points a t one time just tired in the second half ~nd proved itself out. If that hadn't happened, he said the team would have won ' by an easy 20 points.

Dougherty likes, or has made , a compariso n of his team and the tough play of Merritt and Laney. He is impressed with the all · arou nd r ebounding and shooting, especially out · reboundi ng the enemy this time 48 - 41.

Freshman Center William Myles , a Samuel Ayer gra duate , scored 18 points, as he turned in another fine outi ng, hauling down 14 rebounds .

He was followed by Forward Kev in Bryant , from Gainesvill e, Florida, who turned in 18 poin ts ; also with

Cage rs View Hot Fire An unusual thing happened on the way to the car the other. night.

City 's women hoopsters, after crushing Diablo Valley 47 - 31, witnessed a fire.

The team had stopped at the Sunvalley shopping center for dinner and upon leaving the building, they heard an alarm sounding and noticed some smoke coming from the side of the building complex that they had just left.

Upon closer inves tigation , flames could be seen, through a grate, and as the women looked on at the billowing smoke, the fire departmen t arrived at the scene.

The women stood around watching while the firemen did nothing.

F inally they were informed that it was probably just a garbag e fire . Soon the doors were opened and the smoke poured out.

Shortly thereafter , the women cagers headed back toward City College.
