David Birney... actor On screen and off
Bir ney reveals self By Diane-wesson Times E xclusive
t•--..
"Someone on the Community College level interested in acting should get involved in a theater that's doing substantial work" in productions a n d then develop yourself, says David Birney, well known dramatic and comedy actor. That is what Birney himself did, after receiving his masters degree in Theater Arts from UCLA. Birn~y is best known for his starring roles in "Bridget Loves Bernie" , and "Serpico." However, more recently Birney starred as the passionate crusader Dr. Johnathon Ferrier in the highly acclaimed television drama " Testimony of J'wo Men" . As a result of his performance in "Testimony of Two Men", Birney became noted as one of the most versatile young actors on stage or screen today. When asked how he got interested in acting, Birney said, "My high school acting got me started but it wasn 't really serious at the time. It certainly didn 't have my serious attention. I got sincerely interested as a 'grown up' probably while I was at Dartmouth College./' There Birney began to approach drama through the literature of the Shakespearean theater. " I found even the language of the theater very interesting here." Born in Washington D.C., Birney moved around the country until his family finally settled in Cleveland, Ohio. As the eldest of four sons, of a then FBI agent, he earned school letters in football, basketball and track, although he claims to ha~e ran "the slowest mile of anyone m the school." After gr a dua ting from high school, Birney went to Dartmouth College and graduated as an English with honors in Literature. that time " Viet Nam was heating up and there were a lot of possibilities in my future, but I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do. So I applied to Stanford Law ~hool , had an offer to teach E nglish m East Africa and even an offer to work with the phone company. " 'fhis made him decide to look a httle longer into the theatrical world. "So I applied for a fellowship to UCLA since I thought acting was SOmething I ought to take a shot at now, rather than regreting it later." Numerous friends at Dartmouth helped and encouraged him to continue his work in any and all theatrical possibilities. Birney received h is Masters of Arts degree within the next year and a half at UCLA. " I was there just long enough to get my degree before I went into the a rmy ." While spending two years in the service, Birney was in a number of stage contests . He eventually won enough competitions so that the first ~eek after his discharge, he go.t a Job as a n actor in New York City. I could say I kind of side s~epped Into acting. It was not a comm1tment l made when I was six years old. Like some people I know wantedto b~ in acting from the very begmnJng." Birney went on to say that "it was SOmething he was never really sure.

· most unhappy periods of my life. I hqd to stay available for interviews and hopefully an acting job." Birney even worked in a boutique during that time. "My professional desire left a lot to be desired." "I was ready to close up all of my hopes; even my suit had perspiration•stains - at the kneecaps!" Finally the Hartford stage company offered Birney a position doing repertory, which lasted eight months. After those eight months Birney returned to the stage in the New York Shakespeare Festival playing as the lead in 'Comedy of Erros,' and later made appearances at the American Place Theater. Then came his appearance as a young soldier killed in an nameless war in "Summertree" at New York's Lincoln Center. ("The show as a rea1 weeper.") Davis performances in this play brought him the cove ted Clarence Derwent Award and The Theatre World Award. He remained with "Summertree" for six months, leaving to "enter one of the most interesting periods of my life ... " Birney next spent two years as the leading man in the day time serial "Love is a Many Splendored Thing", which beca me the most successful daytime show on television. Late in 1971 Birney was offered a job in Los Angeles with the Repertory Company a t the Mark Taper F orum . He still maintained a r esidence in New York, but remained in Los Angeles to do two television pilots. They were the "Anthology Ghost Story" and the later to be popular "Bridget Loves Bernie". It was here that Birney met Meredity Baxter . " I didn't know Meredith, she didn 't know me, so it was r efreshing-- both professionally and personally. " They had one full season on the air and finished that season fifth in the Nielsen ratings. The two starred as lovers in the "Bridget loves Bernie" series and were later married, but this time off stage. " We've since make a decision not to work together in films unless it is a special project." They felt it was important to maintain separate identities, because "it would be very easy to / ackage ourselves at that time an probably even today. And that's a ve ry exploitable situation."

Jenner returns to SJCC
This bill provides more flexible and effective nontraditional course scheduling and brings community college schedules in line with those ::~f four-year colleges and universities throughout the state. Random surveys taken at SJCC in Sept. and· Oct. indicated that 54% of the students, 64% of the faculty and 80% of the administration favored the _160-day calendar. In Jan. 1978, the state legislature will evaluate the pilot program in an effort to determine if it should be expanded to include all community colleges in the state. In other board actions, Robert - M. Giuli, newly elected trustee, was sworn in at a brief ceremony before the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees.

for Un,i ty on board By Joan Ward "I am not anti-faculty," said Robert M. Giuli, newly·. elected trustee of the San Jose Community College District. "This was one of the accusa· tions made in the campaign but my wife is a membe r of the California Teachers Association and I am a former teacher. I'm just not in favor of CTA financing school board candidates. A trustee has to be objective," he added. Th ~ young, soft-spoken trustee looks as though he is a member of the student body at one of the two coll eges he will ser¥e. However, he is the head of his own computer consu lting firm, Giuli Microprocessing in Willow Glen and has had a wide educational and business background. Giuli, a former naval aviator, is the son of a ret ired Naval officer and as a "Navy Brat" lived in many parts of the United States and various foreign countries. He speaks several foreign languages as a result of these moves. His family finally settled in this area in 1962 and he graduated from Fremont High School. Giuli went on to attend San Jose State University where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with an M.S. in applied mathematics. At San Jose State, Giuli served as math representative on the Academic Council This experience convinced him that students need to take a more active role in college .. "The student lives with the decisions that everybody else makes. I don't necessarily expect him to know what is best for himself as far as curriculum goes, but students should have a voice in what goes on in the college," he said. Giuli received a teaching fellowsh ip at S.JSU and worked ~part-
tied in the area of sports." Part of the problem has been mismanagement and disorganization of the Associated Student Council. Finally about two weeks ago a Director of Activities, Robin Preston, and a Director of Academic affairs, Mike Gerlound, were appointed. Among the ideas suggested by .these two were, a "Get to Know Government" Student Your night, tentatively scheduled for February and a Film Festival during the winter vacation still in the discussion stages. A Semi-formal Christmas Dance is scheduled for Friday, December 16 in the Student Union from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Cost is $1.50 with current Student Body card or $2.50 general admission. There will also be door prizes. According to Robert Ramirez, "this semester is a lost cause, but we are looking forward to a success' ful next semester."
a lecture studio room which will have seam less paper backgrounds and studio lighting. There is an office for the instructors, a small kitchen and plenty of room for photograph,ers. The photo lab will be open next semester for black and white photography and the color facility will be operational in the fall. Oth.er areas under construction still have a long way to go before completion. The Child Development Center will take the longest of any of the new facilities t o complete. Right now work is progressing at a good pace but completion will not be until next year. One of the big problems that students have suffered from th is year because of the construction is parking. It doesn't appear that the problem will get any better next semester. It may even get worse as new construction is initiated. St udents planning to attend SJCC next spring s,hould check with administrat ion to find out what w ill be available in the way of c lasses. The schedule lists them but the beginning of the fall semester found students checking posted Iists to f ind out where their classes were actually meeting.

The United States is the most energy conswning country in the world. We have come to the point where almost everything is automated. I believe our worst enemy is the automobile.

;. Cooperation seems to be dying out at the San Jpse City College Campus. Teachers lack cooperation with students, administrators lack cooperation with teachers, and some people seem to lack cooperating with anyone. tThis situation might be attributed to the fact that City College is only a two year community college apd, no one really wants to get involved with anyone else. Ergo, lack of cooperation. Han association such as the Associated Student :a_ody of the college, which also constitutes the student government, is to survive there must be a~certain amount of cooperation. Lack of cooperatim may be the reason that the Associated Student C9uncil got off to such a slow ,start this semester. '11le student government finally came up with a competent leader in Robert Ramirez, but because of the lack of coopetation between Ramirez and his staff and the ASB and the administration, the student government has a very soft voice in the affairs of the school. Another problem is the lack of cooperation that school organizations have with their main source of publicity on campus, the City College Times. Because of this the Times has had problems this semester in publicizing some events sponsored by these organizations. In addition to this, a couple of these organizations have taken it upon themselves to initiate the production of their own paper. If the City College Times is the 'campus' newspaper, it must have the cooperation of all organizations, departments, teachers, administrators a~d ev ryone on campus. If tnis school is here to prepare students for the outside world, it must also teach the student that without cooperation, there may not be ari outside world.

The Times Gang
!More letters Editor : The Times Staff was shocked and dismayed by the article on the Journalism Dept. in the San Jose City College spring catalog. The article implied that Times Staffers are something Jess than angels. While it is true that some of us do not convey the image of TV angels <our photographers and sports staff bear little resemblance to Farrah Fawcett or Cheryl Ladd), we feel that we ·are at least angels in the Biblical sense of the term. According to the dictionary, an angel is a winged messenger of the . Almighty. Certainly this is true of the Times Staff. Times Reporters have to have wings to cover all the events on campus and their messages reach some 3,000 people weekly. Also it should be readily apparent to the college community that Times editors seldom have their feet on the ground. As for the reference to the Almighty , when Times editors receive their copy back from reprographics or the printer and find their precious messages full of
typographical errors or with only half a headline-their most frequent exlamation , is, "Oh, God- ................ .
... Th~ .. dictionary
definition of angel also includes the word cherub. Certainly the Times Staffers have cherubic smiles at 9 a .m. every Friday when the paper is finally distributed. We must admit these smiles do oot last long. They disapPear when our friendly faculty advisor examines the paper and offers helpful hints on how it could be improved·- helpful hints is another term for raking us over the coals. In addition it is rather difficult to maintain these cherubic smiles when we have only a five minute break before we start work on the next issue. Although our halos may be slightly askew and slightly tarnished, those golden lights around our heads are not laser beams or something left over from a solar energy project, but real honest-to-goodness halos. We hope the. administration will reaJize this and correct future SJCC ca talogs. One of Carey's Angels

Images from the selective eye Students in the beginning photo classes this semester waited anxiouslY for the completion of the new photo lab. In the meantime they made do with the small but adequate Jab which w~s shared by the pllotosrapheNI of the newspaper
lle\lllftafl. . ~·
-
Even though a large modern Jab be)ps in the creation of the fine print,
the beginnings of that print comes with the selection of subject matter and the proper exposure. Once the shutter is pushed the image has been recorded and that moment of time has passed. A goOd photo consists of more than a camera, lens and film. It consists of mastering these tools and interpreti!tg the subject and ~e mood
of light. It consists of the mind and ths sum total of a persons experiences. We all see differently , and being able to see well is altogether different than just looking. Seeing interprets and looking merely locates. These photo represents the seeing of beginning photographers at SJCC.

TV-- A rbizarre' season By Margaret O'Brien "Bizarre!" That is what Ron Miller, the San Jose Mercury's new Television columnist, said about the Fall 1977 TV season. Miller, who was on campus to speak to Survey of recently Journalism students, said that this TV season started out different that most in that ABC moved the premiere of their new season up two weeks. Since then NBC and CBS have been trying desperately to catch up all season. Miller, a fifteen year veteran of the Mercury staff, said that the content of shows is different this season. "It seems sex is up and violence is down." In the television Industry November is an extremely crucial month because it is when call cancellations begin. CBS has announced that it is cutting Rafferty, The Betty White Show and "Busting Loose" from the fall line-up. So far this season, NBC has given the axe to "Rosetti and Ryan," "Oregon Trail," "Mulligan Stew" and "Big Hawaii." ABC, in the midst of another · successful season, has announced no cancellations thus far. The other two networks are
still having problems and recently they both fired their presidents. The month of December is also important in that it is the month of holiday specials and short series which fill in the TV lineup until the "second season" begins in January.

Miller also said that the continuing series is the backbone of networks. With the mini-series and the "Big Events" there isn't enough time for viewers to identify with the characters and therefore they don't get the audience. Miller said that this is where NBC and CBS made their mistakes this season.

ANNOUNCE M-E NT .-:·
By Dorie Panopulos Editor in Chief Upon my arrival back at San Jose City College after a semester off to reevaluate exactly what direction I wanted to take, as far as my education goes , I once again enrolled in the newspaper production staff. Little did I know that I would be undertaking the responsibility of being Editor and Chief. This semester, among other things I have had to take charge of a newspaper with a very small inex~rienced staff. As well as pubhshing a paper every week, the staff had to be taught all about how to write for a newspaper. In the beginning we experienced a total lack of cooperation and com munication, but that soon passed and we began producing a newspaper without any major difficulties. The lack of cooperation I felt in the beginning with my staff I also. experienced. with some people. a!ld organizations on campus. ThiS mcluded a little 'run in' I experienced with several members of the Water Polo team regarding lack of publicity, and several clubs who took it upon themselves to try and start their own newspaper because they felt they were not gett~g enough publicity. All I can say IS that if these people had come directly to me and notified me of their complaints or problems about the newspaper, something cilled cooperation would have begun to exist, these situations could have been a voided. The main function of a newspaper is to keep the people informed about what is going on in the world

Actually, meant for anyone who can 't te s tories that emphasize
romance. The story begins two years after the death of Jennifer Cavilleri, the love of Oliver Barrett IV's life. Barrett is found in a pathetic state~ After she died, Barrett drowns in his work, feeling sorry for himself and guilty over Cavilleri. It's ~ranted Barrett would mourn and thmk of nothing but his work the first few months, and it's believable he might feel self-pity, but guilt? Why should he feel guilty? Segal has his character visit his psychiatrist and fumbles for excuses there, but that bit of plotting looks weak. Barrett wasn't a wife-beater, and he did attempt to visit Paris with Cavilleri. It was all she wanted. She had to regrets about Paris. That was a poor piece of plotting on Segal's part to make his main character look more noble than he needed to be. the Another criticism is

relationship Barrett IV had with Barrett III. What was the real reason behind thtHr aloofness toward each other? It was obvious they weren't on the best of terms even before Barrett IV met Cavilleri . Some flashbacks to his childhood or adolescence might have been helpful. It looked more like Barrett IV was the real snob and not his father. "Oliver's Story" answered a few of the questions " love S~ory " left us with, but the incident that really gets the action going is when Barrett meets Marcie Nash while jogging at a park. She becomes a bigger challenge to him than Cavilleri was. " It's not the girls herself," Barrett tells his analyst, "it's the principle. I love to put aggressive women down." The ending is a tear-jerker . It wasn't the way the Barrett-Nash roman ce was r esolved, but something else happened that Cavilleri wan ted more tha n anything. It was too bad she didn't live to see it. This is one rare case where· the sequel is actually at least equal to the original story.
It is easily Jane Fonda's finest ''Klu te ." performance since Vanessa Redgrave a nd Jas on Robards have much less to do, but do it just about perfectly. The same can be said for Susan J ones and Lisa Pelikan. But these performances are largely wasted on director Fred Zinnemann's " Julia ." The picture is, quite frankly, a bore. It lacks a n extensive storyline, and, if it weren't for a few 'Carrie' -made-famous-wake-upscreaming-from-bad-dream-scenes, Julia lacks excitement and emotion. Adapted by screenwriter Alvin Sargent from a portion of "Pentimento," the second of Uuee autobiographical best sellers by Lillian Hellman, "Julia" cast Jane Fonda as Lillian, J ason Robards as Dashiell Hammett and Vanessa Redgrave in the title role as Lillian's girlhood friend who abandoned her socially snobbish, wealthy, prominent family and died fighting · Axis's fascism in prewar EW'ope in the late 19~. And as for Susan Jones and Lisa Pelikan, they portrayed Lillian and J ulia as teenagers in frequent, sometimes annoying, flashbacks, all part of a loosely structured reminiscence that tends to confuse as it covers incidents from Cape coo; P aris, Vienna, Broadway and Ber lin over a peroid of abour 40 years. The plot of " Julia" is harldy more than an incident. Lillian, after writing a highly successful Broadway-hit play, is invited to attend a theatrical festival in Moscow. In Paris she is approached by an antifascist underground agent who convinces Lillian to take on Moscow by the way of Berlin in

Reflections on 1977 Jaguar f o otball ye a By P a ul IJoret Spor18 Editor WHEN ATHLETES, STUDENTS, AND TEACHERS look back at the 1977 San Jose City College football season they will probably remember it as one of those "off years.'' However , when one looks closely at that season, one may see why SJCC's gridders turned in a dismal3-6-1 recor d for the year.
In the upcoming years people may 'wonder what · happened to that team durmg the season. Some may even forget the whole affair. Some will even see it as the downfall of the Jaguar dynasty - after all a team which wins the Northern California community college championship a nd finishes 10-1 a year earlier does not drop to 3-6-1 after claiming the conference crown two of the previous three years. Or do they? F irst, one must take an in-depth look at the occurrences of the past year. What may look like a disappointment may turn out to be a surprise for next season. One must remember that the J aguars were faced with the arrival of a young freshman cr op, and the
Laney. As Head 'coach J im Wheelehan termed, " We didn't have anybody left on defense. We had to use reserve offensive linemen on the defensive line." The end result was a 30-14 loss to the eventual league champs.
depar ture of most of 1976's starting sophomores. In the season opener against El Camino, the Jags started only 10 sophomores (most of them inexperienced) and 12 freshmen. Also to be considered was the Jaguars' competitive schedule - especially in the early rounds when tbey fell to El Camino (always a state powerhouse) 24-18 and Coast Conference champ Cabrillo, 236. After a 7-7 tie with Foothill, many thought the purple and gold were finished.
Of course, no one can predict what might have happened if the "injury swarm" would have passed City College. Most likely the Jaguars, if they would have been healthy, could have been a contender, a nd the final game of the year might have been for the league title.
Yet, in the next four contests, the SJCC gridders recorded three victories, starting with a 28-2 r out of San Francisco and ending with a 24-7 win over West Valley. The streak enabled the Jags to creep up into a first place tie with Laney and De Anza after Oct. 28. However, another Golden Gate Conference crown was not etched in the Jaguar plans.
Things look hopeful for next season, as a good bunch of freshmen change into experienced sophomores. There will be 25 probable returnees, complementing the 18 sophomores that will graduate. Among the probable freshmen returning will be quarterbacks Mark Adame and Mike Wooles and running back Marc Rebboah. Those leaving include quarterback Tom Sheppard and backs Kevin Douglas, Ken Tate, and Himes Alexander and four star ting linemen: guard J im Overstreet', tackles Ron Rinehart and Kurt Gordon, a nd defensive lineman J oe Mathis. IN ORDER FOR T HE JAGS to improve on 77's reCord, the y will have to undergo some mmor recon-
INJURIES were to be SJCC's main enemy, as most of the starting line-up were to be dismantled in the waning and most important weeks of the season. It was during these crucial weeks that the Jags lost three games - many due to injuries which kept key starters on the bench. But as the experts say, " Injuries are a part of the game." An example was the final game of the year against
