Sen. Jerry Smith, who was on campus recently chatting with students in front of t he Student Union during his "sidewalk" office hours, opposed the passa!Ul of the JatvisGann Initiative on the June 6 ballot saying it would be "chaos."

The Jarvis·Gann Initiative (Proposition 13) would reduce homeowners' property taxes by nearly 60 percent and could result in a revenue cutback for school districts, communit y social services, county hospitals, fire and police services, said Smith, a Saratoga democrat.

Smith expressed concern over the major cutbacks for the school systems since they receive most of their revenue from property t axes.

Opponents of the initiative said that the passage of the bill could mean slashing $7 bi llion from school and local government budgets.

Los trevenue could be made up by using portions of the existing $3 billion budget surplus of the state, although Sen. Smith claimed

that all of the lost revenue could not be replaced even with a tax bill.

The proposed init iative w ould also freeze assessments on t hen existing property based on 1975-76 market values while allowing for a maximum 2 percent yearly infla· tion adjusment. Assessment of property at its current market price would only occur when there is a change of ownership or in case of new construction.

On the other hand, the Behr Bill, which would only take effect if Proposition 8 passes, would mean a 30 percent homeowner property tax cut, would put a lid on revenues which local government could collect from t he property tax in the future. In addition, it would mean excluding the funding of welfare from property taxes.

Turning to other matters, Sen. Smith answered questions about abortion funding by saying that he had not made up his mind concern· ing the morality of abortions but in the past has been supportive of allowing women to make the choice.

Boycott over

EASTER PARTY- The on-campus Child Care Center held its annual !::aster Party March 17 . The celeLration included· Easter baskets, an P.gg hunt and, of course, a special visit from a good friend-the Easter Bunny (alias Pat Grady). The kids and even the Easter gunny had a great t1me.

The ad hoc food committe of the Associat ed Student Counci l agreed to t emporarily end t he boy · cott of t he cafeteria in a recent meeting with the management of Guckenheimers.

The food committee, after re· vealing t he results of a recent survey conducted on campus felt t he response of the cafeteria management would justify the removal of the ·boycott signs around the campus. However the food co,nmittee recommended that the ASC and Guckenheimers set up guide· lines for regular meeti ngs and evaluation of the food and service being offered by Guckenheimers.

The survey which was circu lated by the food committee among the students at San Jose City College indicated that 53 percent of the 135 students polled felt the food at Guckenheimers was below par, 77 percent felt that the prices charged at the cafeteria were unreasonable.

JarVis - Gann initiative shakes state

If ballot initiatives could be measured on the Richter scale, P'roposition 13 or the Jarvis-Gann property tax relief initiative would be an 8.5 because it has certianly rocked California and shaken up a good many bureaucrats. It has also given the taxpayers a most difficult choice to make on Jun~ 6.

The initiative sent San Jose Mayor Janet Gray Hayes scurrying to Sacramento to protest to the state legislature.. Santa Clara County Supervisors have held public forums in an attempt to defeat Jarvis-Gann. Frantic school board officials are sending warnings to teachers of possible lay-offs should the initiative pass. And school boards and local government agencies are preparing alternative budgets just in case ...

Jarvis-Gann has been responsible too, for some rather strange alliances. The League of Women Voters, the California Federation of Labor, Bank of America, Pacific Gas and Electric and various other labor organizations and businesses are attempting to form a coalition with a possible $2 million budget in order to defeat the initiative.

And finally, the state legislature passed an alternative-property tax relief measure: SB1 or the Behr Act. The big 'question is-why all the uproar now? Where were all these people before and why didn't they propose alternative budgets and $2 million campaigns to give property owners some 'tax relief? ·

~\ \

After all, property values in California have been increasing steadily over the past ten years with a corresponding increase in property taxes. And even though property taxes have increased for both homeowners and business, the effect on homeowners is greater because they cannot pass on tax increases to others · as business can· and does. Senior citizens and people on fixed incomes are especially hard-hit and in some cases have been taxed right out of their homes. Certainly th~ bureaucrats have been aware of this problem and should have proposed property tax relief and Iimited government spending long before now.

Their failure to tealize that the taxpayers pockets are almost as dry as the California reservoirs were last year, has resulted in Jarvis-Gann.

In addition to shaking the bureacracy, Proposition 13 has also caused tremors among the voters. Now they will have to decide between Jarvis-Gann and Behr, both of which offer property tax relief but both of which have some glaring deficiencies. ··

However, the Behr Act would not put a lid on government spending and would limit local property tax revenue increases each year equal to inflation. It also could result in increases in various state taxes when the current state revenue surplus is gone th'us shifting taxes around instead of putting a lid on spending. In order for the Behr Act to become law, JarvisGann will have to be defeated and Proposition 8, which would constitutionally authorize separate assessment rolls for homes and business properties, has to pass.

Jarvis-Gann offers a 57 percent property tax cut and would limit assessments to a 2 percent annual rise as long as the property ~oesn't change hands. However, it provides the same tax · relief to commercial property and does nothing d irectly for renters ad senior citizens whe only receive homeowners re-

The decision the taxpayers have to make on June 6 is as difficult as deciding on a heart transplant. The taxpayers know they can't live without property tax relief, but can they survive with either of these operations? And who should perform the surgery-Jarvis-Gann or Behr?

Mailbag I Edit or: · I am -less than duly impressed w ith the organiztion of the City College Student Council's boycott of the Guckenheimer Food Service ot our student union .

A d'efinition of the desired results of the bQycott is not clear to me. I om seekirfg a published statement f rom the student council to some. questi~ns that keep nagg ing me.

Different is not always better.

What kind of research and comparisons of other food services have been made by the committee in charge of the boycott?

Has the student council made constructive s uggestions a s to o viable alternative or ore we showing our inability to logically attack a problem by boycotting without s pecifically desired results in mind?

A prime example of the lock of orgoniztion in this boycott is that .a stud&nt opinion poll is being taken two weeks after the initiation of the boycott.

This boycott would have had

more momentum hod: - The results of the research and comparisons had been made available to the students.

- A poll of student ·opinion of the viable -alternatives been taken .

- A chronol-ogy of the attempts that fa iled to bring about our desired change been mode public.

- Any of the above logical s~eps been executed.

A boycott should be a last ditch attempt- and full scaleto be successful. Our effectiveness as a student body wi ll be lessened by our misuse of a possibly meaningful tactic.

Since we a re directly paying for the food service, we should have a decisive voice in choosing a good s~rvice; but that voice must speak with knowledge as well a s action.

I think it's time to fall back, re-group , and decide with facts what we want to accomplish .

dents and fewer teachers on campus, along with the elimination of athletics, programs for women, programs for the disadvantaged, funding for school clubs, counseling, student health services, and child-care centers.

This might mean that the California Community colleges would have to raise the student fees if the c6llege wahted to maintain these programs on campus. California's free public education would still be public but far from free.

The quality of education in California is said to be declining as it is. Our public schools from kindergarten to college would be sacrificed first. Parents already complain about their kids not learning enough. By decreasing the money for education we can naturally expect even less, which actually takes us even further from the whole purpose of schools- to produce an intelligent person with skills to earn a living in our society.

The schools and the services that we are taxed to support are important to the general operation and to the general comfort that we enjoy when living in California.

And who ever said all of that would be free?

Fast food for campus Cafeteria firms themselves have increasingly found their best offers beaten by the masters of profit· able feeding: fast-food chains.

Flushed with mercenary zeal, college and university unions across the country have begun to lease their space to high-volume food chains like McDonald's, Shakey's Pizza and Hardee's Food Systems.

At the University of Cincinnati, for example, McDonald's has doub!ed the food sales of the college union. Hardee's has done the same for Western Ill inois University.

And at Ohio State, which opened the world's largest McDonald's outlet three years ago, union officials expect the Big Mac crew to do better than $600,000 a year in business for them where before there was only red ink. "McDonald's may yet be the financial salvation of private higher education," announced Fast Service, a magazine for fast-food chains. College unions usually get between seven and twenty percent of the profits from on-campus fast-food chains,

which often make their offers even more irresistable by paying all remodeling costs. More and more colleges are opting for this kind of system. A.ccording to the University of ·Cincinnati college union, at least 60 other schools have expressed interest in its fast-food setup.

In an effort to compete, some cafete ria firms have devised menus similar to those of the fast-food chains, according to Tom Farr, editor of Food Management, a trade journal for food service man· agers. So far, however, the ploy has met with only limited success, he said. "Even if the menu is the same, there's some kind of mystique about having a Big Mac." College Press Service

Very soon the voters of California will be able to express their feelings on the high property taxes. .It's interesting to watch the political games people play on an issue each of us is very sensitive about-our money. But apparently many people have been led to be· lieve that cutting property taxes is going to save people money and cause · no inconvenience and result in no other problems. However, when you propose to trim the fat of state spending by cutting 70 percent of the state tax revenue, you've got to be cutting a lot more than just fat.

Before demanding that the Jarvi sGann initiative is a must and will benefit California taxpayers some other things must be remembered.

During their campaign for governor, Warren, Knight, Brown Sr., Reagon, and Brown Jr., all promised to economize. Yet when elected each one of them had a new state budget that was more than the previous one.

This wasn't a matter of dishonesty but mainly bacause the population had grown, which result· ed in increased cost for schools, publ ic service and welfare, law enforcement, highways and transportation etc.

Another factor was inflation and the rising cost of goods and services.

Most of the services the state pays for are the ones that the public has pressured state legislators for. The rest of the spending by the state goes directly for necessary services.

So where is the fat?

The hardest area hit by Jarvis· Gann will be education, because · that's where the state spends most of its money. What can you cut out of our educational programs that is a waste of taxpayers money?

Possible answers would be to cut the number of teachers, school busses, special programs for retard·

lief. Since Jarvis-Gann does place a limit on government spend-: ing, there would necessarily have to be some cutbacks in government. The state does have a $14.4 billion surplus which could be used to cover some of the services affected by this loss.

The Behr Act would provide a 30 percent property tax cut and would provide tax relief for renters by raising the income tax credit from the current $37 to $75. Senior citizens would also be offered additional tax relief. Residential property will also be taxed at a lower level than commercial property.

" Dissonances & Sweets," a campus production featuring dance and narration starred Jimmylee Kester, Patricia Boyette, and William Kester in exciting performances that had the audience clapping profusely after each of the seven acts.

Jimmylee Kester and Boyette began the show with the first of the three duets to be performed entitied "Dissonances." As the music began the two women moved gracefully and in unison while seemingly acting out a scene in which one of them appeared distressed and was seeking comfort from the other.

The dim lighting cast shadows on the white background that height- , ened the scene visually.

The second duet, called "Dissonances & Sweets," was sim ilar to the first in theme. The exceptions were the brilliant effects of the background lighting that included an array of colors (red to orange with fade-outs) were filtered onto the background wall in elongated patterns.

The movement of the dancers seemed slower and more del iberate as they enacted the ritual of helping each other. kicking the balls to her satisfaction.

Re./ays arouse overflow 1

' .

By Paul Lloret Sports Editor The largest crowd in San Jose track and field histor-Y bathed in warm sunshine to witness the fifth annual San Jose Relays last Mar. 25 at City · College.

The standing-room-only crowd of 8,000 witnessed the best display of track and field stars ever to hit the city of San Jose, as names like Don Ouarrie, Dwayne Evans, Millard Hampton, and AI Feuerbach competed on SJCC's baby blue oval throughout the warm and pleasant day.

And at the end of the day, it was sprinter Evans and upstart longjumper Ken Duncan who starred and impressed the overflow crowd .

Evans, a bronze medal winner in the 200 meters at the Montreal Olympics, swept both sprint events in the open competition. He won the 100 meters at 10.5 and followed with a victory in the 200 meters at 20.7.

Meanwhile, Duncan posted the shocker of the day when he upset highly favored James Lofton of Stanf9rd with a wind-aided 26-7 leap, as compared to Lofton's

The 400 meter relays were captured by the Philadelphia Pioneers (consisting of Bill Wells, Herm Frazier, Bill Collins, and Steve Riddick) who were timed a~ 39.1 B. While many fam~us stars were performing, many Junior College and high school athletes impressed as well .

SJCC's 400 relay squad posted a fourth place finish in the open event with a respectable 40.21. Also, the mile relay squad notched a third place finish in the ~pen competition with a 3:1 1.5 time.

However, the Jaguar's Earnest .Lewis was the main SJCC star of the day with a second place finish behind Evans in the open 100 meters. Lewis, after a bad start, managed to clock a 10.56 to nab runner-up honors.

In J .C. competition, the Jaguars starred four individuals. Andre Phillips took a first place finish in the second heat of the 400 meter hurdles at 52.10 ~ile Thurliss Gibbs captured the high jump with a 7-0 leap. Triplejumper Peter Moreno recorded a 49-3'/z mark, good for a second place .s tanding, while Brian Binau was third in the pole vault with a 16-0 *jump.

In other events during the day, UCLA world-record holder Mike Tully vaulted 17- 10}~ to capture the pole vault and AI Feuerbach won the shot put competition with a toss of 65-6. Maren Seidler of the San Jose Stars broke the women's American outdoor record in the women's shot put with a throw of 60-6'/z. Her throw enabled her to become the first woman ever to throw the shot put over 60 feet outdoors. She already holds the American indoor mark at 61-2'/z.

Jags zero1ng 1n on GG C le d •

By Paul Lloret Sports Editor For San Jose City College's Jaguar mittmen, visions of winning the Golden Gate Conference base· ball crown are looming in their minds. And they should be, as their chances of winning the title are progressively getting better and better.

Early in the year, Coach John Oldman explained that the Jags were a sure bet to make the playoffs. However, after the first round of mitt play , the purple and gold are eyeing the league crown.

The Jaguars, who lost their first two games of the year, have won nine out of their last 10 games, as the purple and gold posted important victories over San Mateo, Laney , and Canada over the past two weeks. . (Note: The Jags were at Chabot Tuesday, and at the end of nine innings were tied, 10-10. The game was called due to darkness and will be completed on April 25.)

On Mar. 28, Mike Couchee scattered five hits in helping SJCC edge league leading CSM, 2·1 in San Mateo. The righty's win over the ' Dogs avenged his opening day Joss to the same Bulldog squad at SJCC last February.

In the game at CSM, second baseman Wes Mitchell, shortstop Todd Davis and centerfielder Don Deatherage each collected a pair of

SWIMMING San Jose City College's men's swim t eam squad strengthened its bid to claim the Golden Gate Conference cro wn, as the Jaguar tan kers impressively defeated De Anza, 59-52 o n Mar. 30 in Cupertino.

Not only was the win important in t he standpoint that the victory upped SJCC's league record t o 6-2 (good for third place) but it also enabled the Jaguars to gain some added momentum before going into the Golden Gate Conference champio nships on April 14 and 15.

Mike Craddock captured the 1,000 free and 200 meter butterfly events to pace the SJCC tan kers. He posted respective times of 10:24.3 and 2:08.4 in winning the two events. Mike Clark, Bob Blashill, Rick Ranzau, and Jim Marshall were all winners in individual events. Clark captured the 200 free at 1:52.4 , Blashill the 500 free at 5:02.5, and Ranzau the 100 free at 48.3 . Marshall , wh ile winning the 50 free at 21.7, teamed with Clark, Doug Ament and Lee Woods to win the 400 meter free relay at 3 :27.3.

The victory followed a non-conference dual-meet win over Delta and Solano two days earlier. The Jags a re now 9-3 overall after dismantling Delta 88-23 and edging Sol ano 57-55.

The Jaguars finished t hird in t he conference beh ind unbeaten power· house Diablo Valley (8-0, and the favorite to claim the GGC championships next weekend) and Foothill , who claimed a 7-1 ledger.

TAMES BULLDOGS-San Jose City College pitcher Mike Couchee is pictu red ready to deliver to an opposing batter in recent Jaguar baseball action. The righthander scattered five hits in posting a dazzling 2-1 victory over league-leading San Mateo on Mar. 28.

Unbeaten spikers dominating GGC San Jose City College continues to impress in track competitio n, as the four-time Golden Gate Conference champions posted outstanding performances in last week's Diablo Valley Relays in Concord.

And while the Jags shone in last Saturday's feature event, they cont+oued -tflei1""'do,-nlnance -of GGC clubs by defeating both Diablo Valley and San Francisco by respective 88-34 and 88-35 scores on Mar. 30.

In Concord, SJCC's tracksters posted five victories to win the meet, but more importantly set a school and meet record in the sprint medley relay.

Pat Holcombe, Dwayne Green, Eugene Rachal and Fred Harvey posted a record-setting 3 :28.6 t ime in gaining the win. Holcombe ran a 48.3 , Green a 21.8, Rachal a 21.5 and Harvey a 1:57.0 in that order to combine for the mark.

And while the sprint medley relay team recorded a victory , th e m ile relay team also posted a t riumph with an impressive 3 :12.7 clocking Jed by Earnest Lewis' 47.3 anchor leg. Andre Phillips,

Holcombe, and Harvey added in d ividual times of 47.9, 48.4 and 49.0 respect ively in finishing first in the m ile relay .

MacDonald, who was timed at 13:52.4, finished second to another Kenyan, Henry Rono of WSU who finished first at 13:31.8.

Mittmen continue to impress

The Jaguar divot-takers earned an important 34-20 victory over San Mateo last Tuesday at the San Jose Country Club to remain a game behind.Canada - The Jaguars are now 11 -1 in league play.

The Jaguars swept a pair of matches last week to continue their domination of GGC clubs. The J ags posted respective victories over West Valle.v and Foothill on Mar. 27 and 28 to continue their relentless chase of undefeated Canada. · TheJaguars routed the Vikings 4 2-12 and disposed of Foothill by a · 3 0-24 margin to add another set of victories to t heir league ledger.

Against the Vikes, Craig Stewart and Rick Vargas led the purple and gold _with identical scores of 74. Shawn McEntee added a 77 to aid the , SJCC cause. In the match with the Owls, t he same trio combined to again dispose of their opponents. McEntee notched a 74 while Stewart and Vargas shot a 75 and 76 respectively.

However, while SJCC continued its wi nning st reak, Canada continued its winning ways to remain atop the GGC with an unbeaten record. However, the Colts and the J aguars were scheduled to meet in probably the most important match of the year last Wednesday at the V..illages. Due to press deadlines results will be avail able in next week's edition.

Coach Bob Jones is extremely pleased with the swimmers fine showing over the past season, as he explained, "This is the best season we've had in a long time."

The Renegades, who were the Metropolitan Conference winners and previously ranked number two in the state, upped their overall mark to an impressive 33-2 wh ile claiming the state's number one ranking in cage competition.

Ba kersfield moved to the finals by defeating both San Jose City College and Santa Ana in the quarter-finals and semis respectively. The J ags were defeated by a 74-48 margin and Santa Ana fell 86-76.

On t he other hand, San Francisco surprised many in the tourney by defeating highly regarded Pasadena, Cerritos and Santa Barbara to gain the berth in the finals. The Golden Gate Conference winners posted a 74-70 win over Pasadena before edging Cerritos 79-78. However, the biggest surprise came in the semis, where CCSF upset previously number-one ranked Sant a Barbara by a 85-79 score.

CCSF ended their season w ith a 22-11 mark, and although losing to Bakersfield in the final s, turned in a most impressive performance.

Late last month the Jaguar spikers upped their league mark to 6-0 with a dual meet win over CCSF and DVC. On a wet day, freshman Kevin Goode (Willow Gl en) and sprinter Lewis sparked the t racksters with stellar performances .

Goode captured two events du ring the course of the afternoon, winning th e discus with a 147- 5 and the javelin w ith a throw of 176-4 in rainy cond itions.

Meanwhile, Lewis captured the 400 meters w ith a, strong 47.6 clocking. Coach Steve Haas explained that by adding Lewis to the mile relay t eam the Jags should be able to break the nat ional Junior College record of 3 :08.2 set by Merritt College in 1969. The Jaguars ran a 3:11 .5 in the San Jose Relays without Lewis.

TRACKSTER TIDBITS: The Jaguars return to the track on Saturday to partic ipate in the San Mateo Invitational in an afternoon affair. Following the invitational meet, the Jaguars host CSM for a 3 p .m. encounter on Tuesday.

Two days later, the Jaguars rallied with three runs in the top of the eighth inning to edge strong Laney, 4-3 in Oakland. Ala'n Hatley posted the victory to up his GGC pitching record to 2-1. Outfielders Tim Pavl ice and Deatherage collected two hits apiece while th ird baseman Chris Gallego and first baseman Greg Robles notched a double and triple respectively.

Last Saturday, SJCC continued its hot streak with a 6-5 come-frombehind triumph over Canada in extra innings at the SJCC diamond. . Robles keyed the win by bag· g1ng two safeties in five trips to the plate.However, his second hit was a bit unusual.

With Davis on second (after doubl ing) in the last half of the twelfth, Colt pitcher Jim Neyhart was ordered to issue an intentional pass to Robles. Yet, while

in the process of doing so, the Colt pitcher made a mistake by throwing a pitch within reach· ing distance of Robles' big stick.

The left-handed batter reached for the ball and drilled ft for a single, allowing Davis to score the winning run.

The Jags, who are now 9-3 in league play and 12-7 overall, had scored the tying run in t he ni nth after Couchee' entered the game in the top half of the inn ing for relief purposes. The right-hander picked up -his fourth win of the year against three losses (he is 4-1 in league play) while the purple and gold moved to within a half game of GGC leader CSM who claims a 10-3 mark. ......_ -·.
