of . boycotting people throughout the Umt~ S!Btes, finally winning the right to a un10n m the Southwest ; in March the West Virginia coal miners making "fools of the government and oil monopolists by striking against the so - called energy crisis"; and just recently , the group of concerned people forced the San Francisco police depart.rnent and Mayor Alioto to halt " gestapo tactics" in the Operation Zebra program. " Students United " believes that problems must be faced head on and not by putting faith in some "behind - the door committee that .the Board of Trustees, the Student Government or anyone might set up." They want to join with other students and organizations on campus to "force those who control the decision - making and economics of the college to serve the needs of the students and the community." The spokesman noted the seeming apathy in this country, but believes that "people are not apathetic -- they just don't realize that they are being exploited." As an example he cited the energy cris is that " mysteriously" disappeared last month. " Everyone was told that the gas shortages and high prices were caused by . the Arab oil embargo; this lie was pushed by the oil monopolies, the administration, and the media , despite the well known fact that Arab oil constituted only ten per cent of the oil used in the United States before the energy crisis," he added. . He believes that many people have g1ven up trying to organize any type of movement on this campus, and other campuses, for several reasons : ··some say that to change the system one must first b.e in a position of power ; some say organ~zed movements are no longer effective ; that there are no longer any reaso_ns to organize ; or that the people are Simply too disinterested " "Stude.nt~ United" has o~gan ized to prove th1s IS not so.

"The Role of the Faculty Senate" version of agreement between the Board Representatives and the Representatives of the faculty Senate was r ea d and approved.

A re na T ri es It O ne M or e T im e Should studen ts have the right to evalua te their instruc tors ? Much concer n has been expres sed by both faculty and studen ts on this questio n. The studen ts at San Jose State Univer sity and San Franci sco State do, while the studen ts at San Jose City College have met serious opposition. The idea of Arena is not new to City College . The first publica tion appear ed in faJI of 1968. The group feU into financial trouble, and petition ed studen t council for s upport , and receive d it. . The 1968 issue was readily attacke d. Rumor s that easy grader s got good evalua tions floated around, some of them justifie d. It was generaJly agreed by all concer ned that the a pproac h be change d. In 1969 the Arena encountered the same problem s . The main proolem being lack of faculty cooper ation. Many teache rs wouldn 't Jet the staff pass out evalua tion forms in their classro om. Legall y the faculty didn't have to co operat e. With only a minori ty of faculty co - . operat ing the Arena staff passed out evalua tions in the haJJ outside the classro oms , which is legal . This was done as a means of achiev ing a bigger selecti on of evalua tions. ·This method of obtainil\g evalua tions
Id eas Th at Ro ck & Roll As you enter the main door of the Studen t Union, on the right, next to the base of the stairs is a four foot high blue box. The San Jose City College Suggestion Box. Theor etic ally , the s uggest ion box measu res the pulse of the studen t body. Concep ts , ideas and compla ints all come throug h the box. Studen t council then goes throug h the box weekly to offer the studen t body a dire ct line of communica tion with their campus govern ment. Theore tically , that is. When the box was emptie d and scanne d las t week, the offerings, while probab ly indicat ive of the prevailing mood, wer e less than earthsh aking. More than half of the s uggestions dealt with the same topic. The exceptions were of varyin g degree s of inspira tion and legibili ty. The legitim ate sugges tions had definite merit. This group consist ed of reques ts for more money for girls sports, a microw ave oven ("the machine sandwiches taste stale") and a non - smoke r . area in the cafeter ia . Other contrib utions were neither so clear or constru ctive. Examp les were a 37 cent Associ ated Studen t Bookst ore receipt and a three by five card explainin g (in full ) Einstien 's Theory of Relativ ity. The remain der of the entries we re concer ned with the Studen t Union juke box. The sugges tions, while all on the same topic , r anged the fuU spectrum of musica l tastes. The Four Tops, the Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin a nd the Doobie Br others. One particu larly interes ting contribution was a rather frantic ally scrawl ed "Any E lvis song' " . Anothe r contribution, obviously not quite the juke box devote e as the other contrib utor s , a dvanced the proposition tha t we " get r id of the damn thing ... " Can we as5Ume, judging from the weeks offerings, that t he Studen t Union juke box is the hub around which the studen t body revolv es? No, r a ther we must conside r the question of position. Not everyo ne on campus really cares about the juke box. There is no denying howev er, that half of those who use the s uggesti on box ar e gr eatly influenced by the juke box. In other words, we must conside r the source . The si tua tion creates some rather int rig u in g possib ilities. For m or e academ ically - oriente d viewpoints, we could situate the box in the library . If concise notes were the goal, why them simply place the box outside a shor thand class. Who knows where it would all end? Imagin e the · possibilities. Next to the cafeter ia Jines. Outside a res troom . ln a Home Econom ics class. I hereoy sugges t a mobile suggestion box.

flurry of male chauva nist pig letters and women 's sports editori als, I would like to point ou t a highly questi onable positio ning of stories on your part. Your headlin e story tells how the women 's tennis team placed fifth in the confere nce. That's nice, but I'm sure no one but the girls and their ~arents will get overly excited by that fact. On the other hand, we have an undefeat ed Golden Gate Confer e nce champ ionship track team relegat ed to the middle of the page. Ther e is no denying that women 's sports have not been given a fair shake by fhe media. Let's not try to make up for it by slightin g an event or accomplishmen t of this sort though . Our track team is one of the top junior coJJege squads in the country . As good as they are, they j ust can't seem to m ake your sports page headlin e though . Let's give credit where credit is due. The track champ ionship story definitely should have been given more of a play than you gave it. John Landri th studen t
Smoked Out Editor : I would like to encour age The Times to come· out in favor of some sor t of rules that would protec t the rights of non smoke rs in the Studen t Union cafeter ia. The Studen t Union is a very crowde d ball. Almost every hour of the school day finds the cafeter ia packed. Another factor is the fa ct tha t food is constan tly being served there . The smoke from cigaret tes makes it imposs ible to carry on a conver sation or eat a meal without being irritate d by smoke . . Those who do smoke will be quick to Jump up and cry out for their rights. Before these people get themselves into a nicotine - induced frenzy, I think it would be nice if they would stop for a momen t and consid er the rights of non - smoker s to breath e air not filled with a nicotine stench . "Just stay outside, " the smokers will say. Why should they have the r ight to make a portion of the campus unbearable to me and other non - smoker s? I a£? not, _of .course , advoca ting outlawi,ng smokmg m the cafeteria. I don t, however see any reason why an area or a couple of tables could not be reserve d for those who do not wish to be subject ed to the smoke of others. Thank you, Thomas Lynch

outside the classro om met with faculty opposition. Despite protest the Arena contin ued suc ces sfully ana was published in the spring of 00. After 1969, the group folded , due to people gradua ting. ln the spring of 73 ASB Presid ent P ete Pizzola tried to revive the idea . He brough t the idea before studen t council and it was voted down. Due to the disapp rova l of the studen t council the curren t Arena decided to work on its own. They felt that the time involved in getting Arena approved was to time cons uming. The 1974 Arena is not getting any better greetin g than in the past. Out of the 170 day instruc tors only 40 permit ted Arena staffer s to enter their classro oms. Fifteen instruc tors wouldn ' t allow it at all, while 115 didn 't bother to respond either way. sponso re d Admin istra tion An evaluat ion system is in effect already , as per state Jaw. E very two years studen t opinions are a part of instruc tor evalua tions tha t are passed on to the Admin istration. Are the instruc tors a t San J ose City College afraid of studen t evaluat ion ? The main objective of Arena is to help IN new studen ts determ ine which teache rs best suit their needs. Arena is not set up as a way to get back at unpopu lar instructo rs. With only 40 co - operat ing faculty the Arena commi ttee again let s tudents evalua te instruc t ors outsid e the classro om. This m et with threats of Jaw suits from some fa culty involved. All student evalua t ions done outside the classro om require d that the studen ts ' name and section numbe rs be attache d on a separa te piece of paper . The record s office checke d to ma ke sure the studen t was registe red in that section . Studen t evalua tion s hould not be seen as a threat to the instruc tors or the depart mental heads . The questionnaire must be ca refully worded to avoid leading questio_ns . As the campu s and list of instruc tors lf.ealing Rift continu es to row, such an evalua tion becomes more and more valuab le and Editor : necess ary . Bill Kester 's editori al , " Healing the Rift" in The Times, April 26, doesn't advoca te m uch healing . It seems to • sugges t that the only healing possible is to increas e the rift betwee n the faculty clique and the Superi ntendent, Otto Roemm ich, to the point where he is "rifted", that is, spilt off from his lovely job.

By Marga ret Butler Study Assista n ce Center I wish to r es pond to one section of the article written by Mr. K~ster , Presid ent of the Faculty S«:nate , and publish ed in , the Times on April 26, 1974.

Counse lors volunta rily took on extra counse lees to permit me to work an additio nal quarte rtime in SAC . When the summ ary of activiti es in SAC was made to the Board in Spring 1973, Dr. Peterso n, Dr. Strelitz , and Dr. Roemm ich all suppor ted the proposal that the Board adopt the progra m with a full - time counse lor serving in SAC beginning Fall 1973. When Dr. Peters on return ed to counse ling in Septem ber, he and I shared the full - time assign ment. There has been genero us accept ance of our reques ts for equipm ent and materi als , althoug h our reques t for additional staffin g next year was not accept ed . Although I wish we could have demon strated more conclu sively the need for Dr. Peters on to be full- time in SAC next year withou t an advers e effect upon the couns-eling load for genera l counseling, I also accept the respon sibility of administr a tion to view total needs and to keep the broad perspe ctive. You may be sure we shall try again to make our worth known and our needs clear. Perhap s my philosophical base influence s my feelings.

'Women's Paper'
By Stephen Abney The San Jose City College Drama Department has successfully revived the ageless humor of restoration comedy in its current production of "She Stoops to Conquer". The play was written 200 years ago by Oliver Goldsm ith. It is a classic example of 18th century comedy of morals and manners. "She Stoops to Conquer" satirizes not only the anachronistic social conventions of 18th century England but Emery as Kate and Claudine Wims as exposes man 's timeless capacity for Constance Nevelle make it difficult to duplicity , delusion, and deception . dispute Goldsmith's thesis that women Goldsmith's lighthearted tone is well are more clever than men in the gentle preserved by director William Kester. art of amorous intrigues.

The Reality of Business Selling advertising and establishing permanent distribution centers have been difficult for the staff. Their repeated efforts at sales are met with "W)lat is this, a women's libber thing?" or " Sorry honey, our advertising budget is controlled by the main office in St. Louis" . A few junior colleges, bookstores and private businesses throughout San Jose, however, have volunteered to distribute the paper. On this campus, it is sold in the WREP Office, in room 42. A Diverse Staff Five of the regular staff members are students at SJCC. Others are free - lance i\ ''f ' ""'tJ writers, artists, journalists, members of .., nott ,!Jeh '~cnoa rii h·r !k....,ri 'Y1 the medical field, housewives a'nH mothers. Joyce Lane, a journalism major at SJSU, is a writer and photographer for the paper. T~ her, the Woman 's Paper is an opportumty to "free the voice of women that has in the past been confined to badgering her husband." Robin Garrett, staff writer, sees the paper as an opportunity for women to "overcome being ignored in the daily press and to say 'We are here and we can ' prove it by ourselves.' " Artist and writer Alice Spiderwoman (her real name) summed up her feelings of the paper by saying " It's a vital happening.'' "W~ do everything but the prlnting" explamed Barbara Page co • editor of the current issue and staff member of the SJCC Times. " We have all the space and equipment we need for now" said Ms. Page. "What we really need is more women to help. No matter where a woman's talents lie ' there 's a job for her at the paper " The staff is eager to take o~ new members. But the work is all volunteer and it is hard to find women who hav~ extra hours to spare without pay.

Lauralee Frank, Jeanne Olse~ Top Netters At City College By Steve Jones " The Ojai Tournament is not the place to bring a player to gain experience, but it is a place for high level tennis players." This was said of the Ojai tournament weeks ago by Dr. Joanne Johnson (head of the tournament). The quote explains the caliber that a tennis player m ust be in order to be in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the country. Jeanne Olsen and Lauralee Frank, City 's two top women tennis players , par ticipa ted in doubles at the Junior College Community level. They were good enough to go and win last year and this year they enjoyed the same success . The Ojai Tournament in the past has seen the likes of Stan Sm ith, one of the top pros right now, and Billie J ea n King, possibly the world's best wome n tennis player at present. The tournament has seen Bill Tilden, one of the grea ts back in 1929. <You tennis buffs might remember , or some of you might date back that far. ) City 's Olsen and Frank are top level pla yers , both singles and doubles. They are close tq unbeatable as they have never lost a match in three years. In winning first place again in 1974, they had to, play fi ve matches , s tretching across four days. Since they won last year, they were top seeded. Olsen and F rank drew a bye in the fi rst round. In round two the duo trounced Citrus College 6-G, 6-o. City's doubles team went on to top Bakersfield in the third round, 61, 6-Q. The quarter finals with Long Beach City College was probably their toughest ma tch as they won it by taking two tie breakers, 7-6, 7-6. ''They were a bit off in the quarter final match against Long Beach City College, com mented coach Jan Rees, "They had up themselves get r ea lly to physhologica lly during this match." Olsen agreed tha t the quarter finals were the toughest. "We had the hardest dr a w a nd the quarter finals should have been the finals," said Olsen. Olsen and Frank won the semi -finals rela tively easily over Orange Coast CoJJege, 6-4, 6-2. They were on their game in the finals as they easily beat El Cam ino College 6-0, 6-2.

Barbara, were SJCC's own, left, Jeanne Olsen, and Lauralee Frank. <Photo by Fred Muraira ).
The two have contrasting styles and this seems to work quite well 1or them. Olsen, according to coach Rees, is the steadier of the two and has good control. Frank is aggressive a nd has a hard put awa y shot and a devastating two- handed backhand. Both have the uncanny a bility of being able to anticipate "s hots. ''This is the key to winning, sa ys Coach Rees. Their serves are in contrasting style also as Olsen has a steady serve and Frank has a hard fir st serve and won
with quite a few aces in the tournament. Both show a great deal of poise and are team leaders. " Quite often I will spHt Olsen and Frank up a nd have a less experienced player play with J eanne or Lauralee, says Coach Rees. "This way the player that plays with Jeanne or Lauralee can and does gain a great deal of experience.

SJCC Ni ne Rips La ney By Monroe Schacht Getting their biggest run production of the season, the City College baseball team defeated Laney last Saturday night 14-4 at P AL Stadium , scoring nine runs in the bottom of the sixth. The win, boosting the Jags ' record to 46 in the second half, and 7-16 overall with one game left in the season, had its high a nd low moments. · Shortstop Curt Becker, leading the team in batting and just about every other offensive statistic was lost for the last game of the season when in the top of the first La ney's AI Carmona who led off by walking slid right into Becker on a toss from second baseman Rich Opray, and spiked the little 5-5 shortstop. Becker ha d to be immediately carried off the field and taken to the hospital for stitches. Becker, who earlier in the week broke out of an 0-16 hitting slump hit his first home run of the season and went 3-5 to pick his average up to a respectable .295 where he finished the season. He was just about sure of breaking .300 which was his goal for the season. Becker this season went 26-88 with three doubles and ll RBI's. The Jags , looking as though it might have been a let down found themselves down 2-0 at the end of an inning and a half out scored single markers in the second and third to ~ot the score. The Eagles, came back w1th a run of their own in the top of the fourth, and the Jags, in a seesaw battle scored one to tie and knot the score again , at 3-3. The circus act finally stopped in the bottom of the fifth when San Jose sent 13 batters to the plate, scoring nine runs of six hits, around two errors. Leftfi elder Steve P eterson, who went 24, led off, getting on firs t on an error; shortstop Ted Cados, went in for Becker singled to put the Jags ahead 4-3 · first baseman Ernie Rink moved Carlos to

Mark Neufeld, who started and pitched hts last game as a Jag, went five and two thirds innings, after giving up two st~a1ght singles in the sixth, to pick up the wm, and move his record for the season to a final 3-5. Tony Rubino came in in relief of Neufeld who seemed to tire after the long inning, gave up two runs which were charged to Neufeld who had allowed, after getti ng the first two men out, two straight singles.
