This 'MATUR E ' STUDEN T bicyclist in the quad is one of the larger number of 'older' students on the City Coll.ege campus, a phenomenon not peculiar to SJCC. A nationwide trend of adults returning
(EDITOR 'S NOTE: There is a new wave of adult students on college and university campuses around the state of California. The following is the first installme nt of a two - part series exploring this phenomenon. Research was compiled by Times staff members Barbara Page and Arlene Wagner.) There are no boundarie s to learning .. More and more older students are appearing on campuses around the country sometime s making up the largest per: centage of the student body. Of San Jose City College's 15,250 students, 8,843 are in the evening division, and 6,407 are in the day . There are 5,133 evening students between the ages of 26 - 49, and 255 are over 50. Although most day students, 3,331 are between 19 and 25 years of age, 1,025 are over 31, and 128 are over 50. Some of these older students have returned to school after retiremen t. One 76 ·year - old retired laborer, a great grandfath er, started at City College four years ago after completin g his high school requirem ents in the Adult Education program. He is taking general education classes at the rate of about two each semester, and will decide upon his major later. Others are taking classes to further themselves in their career or change careers to a more interestin g and remunera tive field such as real estate, a popular course for older students. Mildred Popowich worked for ~ .y ears as a computer operator before making the decision to re - enter school. "While I was working, people who were going to school and trying to better, themselves were getting better work appraisal s, "
she said. " So I started going to school evenings and liked it so much that I quit my job and am now going to school full time." Popowich plans to go into date processing or personne l work when she reaches her education al objective s. "My only real problem was keeping up with the reading because it took so much time, however, once back in the habit of studying, i: all worked out," she ~dded . She said she feels right at home With the younger students , and that they sometime s come to her for advice. Felipa Roy Dezon, at 72 one of the oldest students on campus, is most enthusiastic about returning to school. When asked a bout her reasons for going to City College, she said, "I found that I was not respondin g to my children. I live alone at a n apartmen t for senior citizens and am quite a ctive in that organization. I wanted to be able to participa te in discussions and express myself to my family and friends. I want to improve myself for the rest of my life." Dezon says she has n o problems with younger students, and that she feels "very happy to be on cam pus and mingle with young people. " " My English is a barrier, though, and has caused. problems in one of my classes . But next semester I will take remedial English, so that will help overcome that problem, " she concluded. The consensus of opinion among instructors seems to be that the more mature student is serious, dedicated and cooperative. They are not afraid to ask questions in class, and offer opinions during class discussio ns. Here For F un Not all r eturning students have an
educational objective in mind . Some are here_ just for the fun of it, such as some music students who have been taking classes for several semesters simply for the enjoyment. One student has repeated an o_rgan course 17 times and is o longer gettmg credit for it; another has taken several semesters of flute classes strictly for pleasure. A retired man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said, " I've been so busy all my lif~ making a living for my family and bemg a father that when I retired I deci~ed to do somethin g just for me." He contmued, "When I was younger a college degree was not as important as it is today. I really haven 't had any problems on campus except maybe disciplining myself to do hom~work . At first. I fe.lt as if the young people were lookmg nght through me and didn't even know I was there, but I discovered that it was really my own fault -- if I was friendly , so were they." · Many women have turned to college after raising their children. Opal McLean, housewife and mother of a id( '_'This has been my ~o children, s_ f1rst opportunity smce my children started klndergar ten for me to go to college. I have one in Junior High School and a daughter who attends City College too. " As to problems , McLean said, "I've none at all -- in fact I was a little apprehensiv e at first, but it has all worked out beautifully." She plans to transfer to SJSU after graduatin g from City. Her ~ajor _ is journalism . "( like the age d1vers1ty on campus, " she continued, " because it is importan t to learn all we can from other age groups." Although City College has no classes
aimed specifical ly at older students the Women's Re - entry to Educ~tion Program headed by Marge Blaha , was formed to lend a supportive atmosphe re to ret~rning women. Blaha says, "It really IS neat to see these women raise their personal esteem, to really become individuals, to get somewhere because they want to get ahead. I would say that almost all of the women are career oriented. We have a widow here with 10 children who must get a good job. This is a matter of necessity ." Midwest Innovation Many colleges around the country are offering a curriculu m particula rly designed for the aged, such as North Hennepin State Junior College in Minneapolis, Minn. which offers tuition - free courses including se·minars of lip reading, physical fitness and organizing for "senior power." The response to this innovativ e program was spectacul ar. Expecting only 100, the college enrolled about 400 - some on crutches, others in wheelchairs. The following semester saw them enrolling 800 older people (ages 5S to 81 ) in courses ranging from creativ~ writing to gardening to astronomy . This idea of acad~mic programs for older people is spreading to other campuses - partly because of • grants being offered by the Federal Older American s Act. At Stanford, a professor has begun prelimina ry planning for an "emeritus university ," and programs for old people are already under way a t colleges in Milwaukee, Sacramen to and St. Petersbur g, Fla.

Times Staffer Awarded Laurie Joesten, Times staff member, captured a second - place award in editorial writing last weekend at the California Junior College journalism conference in F resno. Miss Joesten's prize - winning piece, "SLA Imposes Tyranny" appeared in the March 22, 1974 issue of the Times. The editorial condemned the controversial terrorist group for demands they had been forcing upon the press. " It was the funniest thing," she mused, " I had just gotten up from the awards ceremony to attend the Fresno baseball game, to compete in the sportswriting contest when I heard my name called." " Happening Hke that, it was a real surprise," she added. " Because I didn't get back to the table in time, I personally wasn't able to go up and receive my award." The convention, which ran May 17 - 19, was. headquartered at the Sheraton Fresno. Some 600 delega tes a ttended the three - day meeting of seminars, speeches, rap sessions and writing competition . One of the featured speake rs was Lee .Sanders, vice • chairman of the nation· - wide consumer organization, Common Cause . A City College journalism delegation consisting of Times Editor Dave Goll, and staff members Todd Cunningham, De bbie Burche tt, La urie Slothower , Kerry Gnekow a nd advisor Art Carey accompanied Miss Joesten to the conference.

passage of the proposal as a progressive step. Ethnic Studies will embrace five different departments, Inter - Departmental, and Black, Mexican. - American, Native American and Asian Studies. Includ'ed in these areas will be culture, literature, history and sociology courses. • The approval by the board has created an Ethnic Studies requirement for all City College students. In other words, it will be mandatory for s tudents to include in their schedule one of these courses. Some of the opponents ofthe plan have objected to the fact that students, no matter what their major, would have to enroll in, for example, Indian history or Japanese literature . It ts true that vocational students will have three additional credits added to their load. The Times can appreciate this, but we still see advan tages outweighing disadvantages when looking at the program as a whole . One of the basic problems in this or any other community you can pick off the face of the map is a dearth of communication between people, however divided racially, ethn ically or geographically. This lack of interaction or exposure leads tQ._ a world of misund derstanding. Not that a simple course will solve the ills of society, but these classes will serve as an educational experience for people of all backgrounds. As s tudents view the past history of cultures other than their own, it cannot help but open their eyes to problem s fac ed by minority group members in 1974. All people are in part products of how history has treated their ancestors. This is most assuredly not a huge step in racial progress, but definitely a very encouraging beginning. If cer tain people at City Gollege resent having to view Indian or Black history as they have had to study "American" history earlier, then our future as a n informed, harmonious school or community is not very bright. While the courses will certainly offer students an opportunity to increase their a ware ness of their own pa rticular background, the Times hopes many students will take advantage of the opportunities to increase their a wareness of "'her cultures, as well as their own.

The dramatists suddenly transformed into grotes9ue characters from formerly unblotted f1gures, there is no real magic except for the magic of make - up and the years of painful skill and hard labor that make magic live. SJCC has such a class in teaching basic skills to prepare amateur hopefuls for· outside work. The class is taught at 1 p.~. Tuesdays a~d Thursdays. A typical asslgnmt;nt cons1sts of bringing pictures and copymg characters in magazines. It is not unusual to enter the class and see clowns, frowning te~ry s~iling mJ_serabl_e spmsters, a coyly smiling ge1sha g1rls. The class _is small, with maybe ~ people. The 1dea is to experiment· to ~cover flaws that never effected your life before. Do you have a weak chin that needs support? Or does your nose tilt left instead of straight? The college thespians have created their own make-up jobs for characters in "She Stoops to Conquer " or Poulin Lam as a decrepit old wreck in "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds ." Most actresses and actors for movies l~ke these ~ave t~eir own make up artists, but 1t begms with the amateur actors and actresses who learn to create their own images. Amateurs always have their own styllistic make-up kit with them at all times. The kits are individual and toned to the thespian's own flesh tones and hu.es. Made by ¥a~ Factor, a Hollywood onented cosmetic f1rm, the kits cost from $30 to $40 and up for more accomplished dramatists. The regulation kits consist of pancake make - up, grease paint, rouge, spirit gum , shadows and lip sticks each color usually at least 3 to 4 shades darker than th~ user's t~ne color to show up in the br1ght footlights and glarin~ cameras.
The foundation is the underlying layer of make- up that sets the tone for the rest of the cosmetics. It's used for corrective make-up, old age, or simple facial tones. Most actors prefer the grease make-up over the pancake due ot its finer texture and easier workability . However, pancake make-up is preferred for old age effects because of its dry stiffness. One commonly used effect is shadowing and highlighting. Darker tones are used to make shadows in the chin to create clefts; used beside the bridge to raise flattened noses, and especially on the cheek - bones to create dark and hollowed effects. For high cheekbones the inside of the cheek is darkened, and the high point of the cheek bone is lighted a highlighter of white or silver greasepaint. Shadowing is used for a variety of reasons - age, starvation or sinister tones . Spirit gum is used for securing false moustaches and beards which are made of crepe or horse hair, molded into the desired or full bushy beards. The color can be dyed with shoe polish or lightened with spray. Like spray paint in dry form . the powders come in many different colors. Putty and rubber cement is used for corrective make - up to build up noses , intensify and enlarge shrunken cheekbones, to add puffiness to eyes and to build creases in foreheads and fullness to thin faces. They add obesity to fat ccharacters, scars, build up of wrinkles and age marks and make layers of scar 1 tissue for monsters. The latex is a rubbery liquid and can be glued or painted on to enlarge or shrink eyes, liner to add age lines and dark circles under eyes; lighter to hide bags or natural circles under eyes, dark coal mascara and liner to emphasize eyebrows or foundation to leave out brows and pencil to create new forms. Lipstick comes in dark colors, reds or vivid oranges - to emphasize the mouth. The general idea is to save the thespian's face from being "washed out, " in the brilliant floodlights. The camera can 't hid imperfections or flaws just as glaring lights can't de emphasize obvious blemishes, so the
thespian's best friend is their make-up ki t and the months it takes to apply their · skill. If you don 't believe in magic, if you 'v.e never wished for the Wizard of Oz, go to the make-up room on Tuesdays arid Thursday and look a t the clowns , spips ters , dwarfts , monsters . . .

each other. In a final confrontation, Kit shoots Holly's father. From this point on, there is no turning back for Kit. He must become the outlaw of his fanatasies. Holly follows him into the wilderness and the unreaHty of the outlaw's world. Taking her magazines, momentoes, and schoolbooks, Holly flees the real world bound to Kit by all the infatuation and illusion of romantic love. Like Mark Twain's children, they escape into the secluded world of nature (a cottonwood forest> where they live out and their dreams in an enchanted world of make believeBut an integral part of the outlaw's legend is the violent spectacle of his death. Kit and Holly's interlude is ended with the intrusion of three armed men into their forest camp. Kit successfully ambushes them, fueling the legend of the super outlaw with dramatic violence and sounding the start of his doomed flight for freedom. Conscious of his imminent death and finally deserted by Holly who becomes dis-illusioned with the dreary and dirty reality of the death chase, Kit persues his capture and destiny with self parodying heroics. Racing across the badlands of Montana in a high speed chase and gun battle with the police, Kit adjusts the rearview mirror to make sure his hair is attractively disheveled, an indication of the self - consciousness of his role playing. Fina lly, Kit gives up to the admiring police and National Guard for whom he has become the latest Dillinger. "Badlands" is superficaUy similar to " Bonnie and Clyde", "The Getaway", etc. but really is substantially different from any of these cinematically romanticized epics for two reasons. First, the violence is exciting and dramatic but not exploited , sanitized or choreographed. Secondly, it is a film full of suggestion and tones which give hints of meaning and silhouette characters but never explicitly reveals , expl~ins , . or moralizes. The characters trymg to live out romantic stereotypes are stumbling and ridiculous. Yet, their very lack of identity, precision and articulation make them more real , puzzling and frightening . Malik, in the best traditions of John Ford, gives us scenes of great natural beauty and splendor as a background for the drama of his characters. Holly and Kit silhouetted in the desert sunset gain a supernatural aura in one of the film'& most evocative images. "Badlands" is a place both familiar and strange located somewhere in the

· . .·.. recent school experience. Her husband near retirement, 53 - year - old Dorothy wanted to begin a career asa school counselor to supplement a dwindling income. But she was afraid. With four sons through college, she looked back on 32 years of baby talk cooking and discussing laundry with th~ neighbors and wondered if she "still had a functioning brain." " Women are conditioned to stay out of the educational mainstream", said WIT Co -...ordinator Joan Grabiec. "They lose all confidence in their ability to function in it." WIT is designed to restore that confidence. How It Works Thirty -five WlT students range in age from 26 to 60. Some have husbands who have threatened to leave if they continue with school. Others are trying to fit school into their full or part - time jobs. Some women have trouble locating and paying babysitte.rs. The one thing they all have in common is- they have been away from school and are making the transition from home to student life. There is only one section of WIT in the 10 unit, one semester program. By working as a group, explained Lillian Moore, WIT staff member and intern in Social Service Administration from Berkeley, the women get to know each other well. They share their adjustment problems and give each other moral support. " We were a bunch of scared women" , said Letty. But in "get acquainted" and regular counseling sessions, the women have openly discussed their feelings and encourage each other to "stick it' out" . For instance, Letty refused to come back to school if she had to compete with 18 year olds, used to class work and study . She found that several women
shared her feelings. They decided 'to he'lp one another with assignments, and take advantage of extra instructions from teachers and regular tutors . A majority of the women now feel ready to compete on their own in the Fall. WIT classes are held Monday, Wednesday and Friday for English and History, chosen to develop college level writing and reading skills ; and career planning, where the women are exposed to vocational and career opportunities . All classes are taught by women and the credits are transferable. WIT'S BEGINNING The idea for WIT was conceived when Women's Re - entry to Education Program began last Fall. WREP, a federally funded program with its own· staff and counseling service, had room for 35 students in its first class. Over 200 women applied. The unexpected response prompted the college to create a course of its own . Using college teachers and campus counseling facilities, it is now a regular part of the school program . Since 33 year old Betty entered WIT, she has had to alter her household " routine" . Family first, school-second. c Housework comes last. Though the " windows are so thick with dirt we can hardly see out of them,", cleaning will have to wait until she finishes her term paper. Kay, returning after 28 years of husband, children and cleaning house as her primary concern plans a career as a psychiatric technicain. School has caused a change within herself. "I feel like an inllportant person now. I have something worthwhile to talk about. " FUTURE OF WIT "WIT is still evolving" says Ms . Moore. " If the women feel that they need more tinlle to adjust, the program can be changed." • Changes suggested by WIT students include separate English 92 and lA sections to accommodate the range of writing skills, and larger child care facilities on campus. The future of WIT depends on the demand from the community. Ms. Grabiec noted that "the young women are taught that there is a real need for them to be self . sufficient for their whole lives . Even if they marry, over 60%will work for 25 years or more." But for now WIT's students feel that the program is essential. Fifty three year olds, mother of four Ruth has started job hunting to pay for future tuitions . "U I don't learn the particular skills l need for a career" she said, "at least now I've got the confidence to try."

Trackmen Reach For State Crown
::. ·:·: .... :::: :·:·
By DaveGoll The 1974 City College track express c ontinues to roll towards a state championship. For the very first time in the school's history, the Jaguar sprintmen rule the Northern California section. Bonanno's brigade swamped their Nor - Cal rivals last weekend in the bitter cold of Diablo Va lley, treating it just as a preliminary to this weekend's state finals at Bakersfield. As a squad, the trackmen hoarded 70 poi n ts , ou tscoring their closest challenger, San Joaquin Delta , by 24. Delta, Contra Costa and Foothill were r ated by Coach Bert Bonanno as the 2, 3, and 4 teams behind his Jags, the latter two squads finishing fifth and sixth, · respectively.
Superior Depth "We aren 't a super - strong team , in dividually, but we dominated the Nor Cal because of rur superior de pth and balance," commented Bonanno on the important victory. He related a story about the Laney College track newsletter, which last week picked their own 440 - y ard relay team, along with the Contra Costa College quartet, as the favori tes in that event. City has accomplished the top GGC time this year in the 440. " It really got our kids angry," mused Bonanno, " but actually it was a good thing because it fired them up." Whatever the motivation, the relay squad of Cecil Overstreet, Don Livers , Bob Gordon and Darrel Craven, all frosh except for Craven, defeated Laney ,
Contra Costa and the remainder of the field. A time of 41.9 seconds qualifi ed to edge Delta 's entry by .3. Contra Costa was disqualified a fter a second-place finish, Laney dropped the ba ton on the first pass. This initial event of the day fore told continui ng success for Bonanno' s charges for the r es t of the meet. Following his teammates' lead, E rnie Ferrel in a surprise performance, gained himself a ticket to Bakersfield by placing four th in the m ile - run, crossing the line at 4:16.6. The top four fin ishers in all the events are headed to s tate. Ken Williams of San J ose also squeaked into a fourth - pla ce qualifying position with a 49 .0 performa nce in the 440-yard run.

The shot champ didn't fare as well in the other h ..lf of his efforts, falling one spot short of competing in Bakersfield in the discus. Sisemore Jet go with a toss of 153'10" which left him in the fifth position. Others enjoy ed better fortune, though. The 100 - yard dash was run directly into a hea dwind, but City College's Don Livers didn't find it as too much of a disadvan tage. Livers clocked in at 10.0,

Overs treet Top Lea:per By Monroe Schacht In 1967 and 1968, Harry Freeman put San Jose City College on the map with his ability as a long jumper, breaking the US J C long jumping mark. Cecil Overstreet, who has no doubt surprised a lot of people in his first semester, has already been compared to Freeman. Overstreet, a tall lanky six footer, with a great amount of confidence has done it all on what track and field coach Bert Bonanno considers his best team ever at City. The records prove that out. The team went undefeated in dual meet ' competition. Overstreet, who became the GGC long jump champion just a couple of weeks ago, with a leap of 24 - 7 - 3 1/ 4 has some statistics to prove his worth. Cecil at presstime was rated third in JC competition in the country, a nd second in the state. Bonanno, who puts Cecil in Freemans' class, feels he has the speed and size as Harry did. Bonanno went on to say, "To me the most amazing quality is the fact he's so young and has a great car~r ahead of him." "Another thing, which has to be taken into consideration, is the fact he star ted in January, and this is his first semester at college," he went on to say. Overstreet, a P sychology major, who late last year moved to this area from Baton Rouge, Louisana, has dreams of attending UCLA, the top track and field school on the West Coast. In discussing what difference the weathe r conditions might have on a jump, he would tell you bel" take the warmer clima te any d ay, and feels the wind definitely will help you. His fine 24 - 7 jump in the San Jose Rela ys, wind aided, a nd a 24 - 5, which was the best earlier in the season in the state without it. Overstree t, who feels Bona nno has helped him in more than one way this season, will go tomorrow to the State J C finals in Bakersfield, hopeful! of a good finish to wha t he has to consider to be a very fine season.

"forget '73" By Monroe Schacht It may seem like a long way off, but the theme for next season's football team has got to be: "Forget '73" according to Jaguar football coach Tim Wheelehan . The season and record , the best ever of an Bay Area Large Division Junior college at 8-2 overall. Wheeleha n, put it this way _whel} discuss ing last season a nd the upcoming one, "This team will have the balance, but we definitely can 't sit on 73's recorq, because if we do, the season could be a tough one for us." "We certainly will have to show key improvements at certain positions . When asked if they're might be any changes other than loss of personal, Wheelehan put it this way, " We might pass more, but we'll still count on the run, and we'll definitely have to fi nd a replacement for Marv Stewart, at the ·running back position. City College had q ui te an impressive season last year losing only to Diablo Valley, 10-6 and San Mateo 17-7 in confer ence play, which would have meant a conference championship with a win in their last game. Neverless, the Jags fi nished conference play at 5-2.
City College's Cultural Series will end its 1974 program in grand fashion with performances by two nationally - known a cts. The Tamburitzans, a folk - dancing troup of 40, will appear May 26 at 8 p.m. in the Men's Gym . On June 7 it will be VaJucha, the Brazilian guitarist who sings in 11 various languages. This will begin at 8 p .m. in the Theatre. Tickets wm be available at the door' but' can be purchased n ow at the City College box office.
The season was s uccessful, as the 10 school record s broken proves, and the fact last years' team was the highest scoring of any in the schools' history . Wheeleha n, entering his 15th season at City, and 11 as mentor hopes this will be the year, as does the team . The schools' record, since 1954, is 106-54, for a .572 percentage. Practice officially will get underway August 29, with just two weeks to prepare f~r th,e first game of the season, September 14 agains t Monterey Peninsula College, there. Wheelehan expressed hopes his team will be in good shape when late Augus t rolls around so that the team doesn't have to worry about that, and can concen trate on different phases of the game. Wheelehan still feels he needs at key positions at least one more punter, another tight end, and a couple of defensive lineman, and running backs. Expecting to return for their sophomore seasons are: Dave Ma tusich and Randy Munoz, at the aJI important quarterback position; Lou Rodriguez, who led the state in scoring by way of the kick ; running ba.cks, Greg Maxwell , Tony Newton , AI Kately ; Dave Joines, tackle ; . Manny Fernandez, and Mike Novinsky, guard; Bill Cannon, tackle · linebackers, Jeff Romona, a nd Ji~ Reed ; Defensive tackle Ed Berry; Defensive end Willie Rose ; and defensi-ve backs Bill Wortte and P ete Gundolff. Expecting to come out for neJSt seasons' team are newcomers : Flankefs Bobby Jones, and Cecil Overstreet, of the track team , as well as guard , Greg Geirre. As tough .as last years' schedule was, the team will play one mor.e game next season, with the addition of Foothill, DeAnza , and West Valley, of the Camino Norte Conference.
year with the same team, but changes ha ving to be made , due to injuries, the team ended th e season with a record of an even 5-5. Although coach J im Rees is not used to winning this kind of record, as her previous years teams l)ave been virtually unbeatable, she said, "everyone played well a nd we were up against very tough competition." To show the kind of competition this ,year, coach Rees said that West Valley, whom they lost to twice 10 - 2; and 9 - 3, had the strongest team that they have ever had. Foothill has never had a womens tennis team before, but came up with probably the best team in the league . The women's team has had some very good days, as they beat Santa Rosa 10 - 2, squashed De Anza 7 - 2, 7 - 2. They split with Menlo College easily winning the first meeting, 9 - 3 and being edged the second time 5 - 4. It should be noted, though that City was miss ing three top players that match. City ' s women 's t eam embarrased Napa last week, 6 - 1 as they almost recorded their first shutout. Even the match that was lost went three sets, Colleen Gallo losing 3 - 6; 6 - 3; 6 - 7. LauraJee Fr~ , top player on the team, led the charge as she easily won 6 - 0 ; 6 1. Penny Shelby took her match in two sets 6 - 0; 6 - 2. Denise Shreckengost, probably the mos t improved player on the team , didn't lose a game winning 6 0; 6 - 0. Annette Holt, playing all season on a bad ankle and in pain, won her match 6 - 0; 6 - 1. Jeanne Olsen combined with Gallo to win the first doubles 6 - 2; 6 - 0. Shreckengost and Holt, in a close match, edged their opponent 6 - 4; 6 - 4. San Jose City College will be losing their two top players by next year, the two probably transferring to another sch ool next year . Coach Rees still looks for a good team next year. " All the women will be better and more experie nce d , e xpl ai ns coach · Rees . "They'll be Jpracticing through the summer and raJI semester. Barripg injuries, which plagued them this year, the women's tennis team should be s trong. According to coach Rees t~ey do have the spirit to win .

Recmiting; A Probl em By Steve Jones Now that the sports are coming to a close (some are over) the coaches have to start thinking about next year. Their job as coach does not stop when the' season is over. They have to travel to the different high schools and recruit a lmost any athlete they can. It's possible that U.C.L.A. has the best recruiting program in the country. And it's no wonder since they have an established winning record . T hey also have the money to have a good elaborate recruiting system. Many of the best athletes in the country can a nd do go to the four -year schools on scholarships and on the idea of prestige. T~is leaves the. community college at a diSa dvantage, nght? Not.necessarily. A great deal depends on how the coach recrui ts and how well he can sell not only the school, but the community college system. . One syste m of recruiting used by Mr. Jim Wheelehan , and probably most of the coaching staff is the following. Coach Wheele han starts r ecrui ling in De~ember and s~ill recruits through the sprmg semester and summer. " I go to as many high school games as 1 can to see the best athletes in the area " commented coach Wheelehan . The fotJ . year schools have a n advantage for they can pay people to g o out and see high school games. Therefore they can see more games. Coach Wheelehan t})en sits down with the high school seniors on the football team a nd talks to them about the community college and in particular San Jose City College. "First I sell the academic program of San Jose", explains coach Wheelehan. " I try to convince them that if they are at all undecided where to go then it's a good idea to come to the community college in order to get the general education c~ses out of the way. The level of academ1c excellence is the same at the community college as that of the four - year schools." " Next I try to sell them odthe athletic p:ogram," says coach Wheelehan . "I g1ve them the schedules and of any playoff games that might be played . 1

also tell them they would proba bly have a· better chance of playing if they came to the community college." The recruiting rules for community colleges ar.e very different than that of four - year schools. Most of the comm unity colleges have an understood rule about recruiting outside of the d istrict. " We do not talk to any athlete unless we see that they are regis tered in school a nd Jive in the district," says coach Wheelehan . The four - year schools such as U.C.L.A. can go anywhere in the country to recruit. One of the main r ules that a four - year college has to a dhere to is that the student has to have the necessary grades to get into the college. The community college does not have to worry about this. " If a kid has had a little trouble he can get straightened out here. It doesn't make any difference what grades he has . It's also at a minimal cost," explains coach Wheelehan. You might say, what about scholarships given to the good athlete? .The N.C.A.A. has rules about the number of scholarships given. . Given the Pacific - Eight, each sch ool m the conference can give out 30 athletic scholarships to any athlete. That means that . 240 athletic scholarships are the maXJmum number of scholarships that can be handed out. According to coach Wheelehan the four - year_schools go for the agility players. That IS the quarterbacks, the running backs, and the receivers . The four. year schools d? not ordinarily give scholarships to linemen because m ost linemen ~re still developing and growing. The ~meman usually has to be about six foot 3 mches an? 220 pounds before he is give~ a scholarship . O.J . Simpson, the incredible running back from the Buffalo Bills, last football season broke the season yardage gained ~arked an~ was the first player in history to gam over 2,000 yards. Simpson you may remember attended and played football at San Francisco City College and then tra nsfered to the University of .southern California.
