Student Council electi-o ns sch edu led for MCy BV David C. Brown . A tentative date for the U_PCom~ ASB elections was set m the ruesday meeting of the Student council. The dates which still h~ve to be IPProved by the Council are as rollows: Applica~ions for ASB Pr~s dent, Vice-President and . Admmstrative Assistant may be p1cked up Rooms U204 or U215 beginning ~ril 17. deadline for su~ission is ,April 28 in the same locations. A forum for t he candidates is tchedu led May 3 and the general eleCtion will be held on Mav 10 and
11, notification of the winners will be made twenty-four hours after the election. Students wishing to run for one of these offices must meet the qualifications as stated in the 1977 Constitution. The student must be a sophomore with 28 units completed at the end of the semester in which they are running. Musf have a 2.0 grade point average, must be enrolled in 10 units and not be on probation. Or a first semester student at San Jose Cith College enrolled in 10 units and have a 2.0 grade point average tor work in progress.
If no petitions for office are received by the April 28 deadline the student council may nominate by 2/3 vote two or more qualified mem.bers of the student body for the office. Write-in candidates must meet the same qualifications as the those who have filed petitions. The current President of the ASB, Robert Rameiz said that he would not tolerate any of the election problems that have happened in the past. He said that the elections will be run by the 1977 Constitution regardless of any con-
troversy over the validity of that document. The battle over the validity of the Associated Student Constitution has not yet reached an understanding between the interested parties. The most recent development is a letter from the CQmi!tu· · tion Committee stating that the 1977 Constitution is not valid and that the controversy violates constitutional and human rights. "In reference to ASB Memoran- . dum dated February 24, 1978 and Dr. Murguia's reply of March 14; -, 1978, related to the Associated Stu· dent Body Constitution .. we still

This is a clear indication of lack of respect for the Board of Trustees, the Administration, the Staff, the Students and the Community in general. It is.also a violation of constitutional and human rights. We have sufficient evidence to support these facts and as suggest· ed in Dr. Murguia's Memorandum, we are urgently asking for a special · meeting with the Board in order to present documentation to you so this matter can be corrected accord· ing to district policy and state/ federal laws.

By Alex Michael It rained the day of the launch, and a swollen river threatened to overflow into the mission building. Still, San Jose City College Professor H. Paul Shuch could see a patch of blue sky approaching. Shuch was at Vandenburg Air Force Base with 600 other educators on March 5 to watch the launching of a satellite he had helPed build and which he would be using in classroom demonstrations. City College is the only Bay Area school offering a two-year course Communications , Satellite in Shuch's specialty. Asked if he felt f)ervous about the launch, Shuch answered, "The word is terrified." He added, "My students don't understand that. They'll know how I feel when it's their own bird sitting out there."

By David C. Brown Four women sat, in a circle hands'clasped on the floor of the
rust colored room. Their bodies erect, eyes closed' as they
became aware of themselves. Soft music from Gustav Holtz' "The Planets" soothed· their minds. The voice of Angela Smith blended with the music in the rowth Center as she instructed the others to think about love, peace and harmony with one's total being. The music ceased and the women stood up. Their faces relaxed indicating a sense of joy and peace. "What I would like for us to do now is to reach out into the space around us and gather in the positive forces that are there. Using our bodies pull these forces of love and peace into ourselves and then pass them on to the next person," spoke Angela Smith. Angela then began to move ller arms and hands above and around her as if she were gathering a tangible substance. She pulled it toward herself and spread it over her arms, across her face and down her body. Moving like a shoreline reed in a soft caressing breeze she continued to bathe in the feeling of harmony with the world. After a while she turned to one of the other women and' began to reverse the process. All of what she had gathered she now began to pass on to the other women. Angela moved her body like the waters of a forest brook as she splashed the feelings of love over the other woman. The other woman reached · toward Angela and received what was being offered. Like a child playing in the cooling waters of the brook she let the feelings of love and joy cleanse her spirit. This cycle of passing peace and love continued around the circle of women until it once again reached Angela. This is n.ot a review of a modern dance or even a psychodrama. It IS an example- of a pregram being . offered at the Growth Center of San Jose City College. · This drop-in class, is led by Angela Smith, a dance and choreography student at City College, is open to all students a11d meets in the Growth Center Mondays and Wednesdays from 2p.m. to 3 p.m. e four rust colored walls have now expanded.

ment Jerky and demanding. Their branches creaked in ·the ill wind of doubt, uttering sad songs ·of despair and the hopMess· · ness of life. The tree of joy and life swayed like a yielding willow, dane- · ing rhythmically with soft fluid movements. Its leaves fluttered in .the sunlight whispering the sounds of warmth and happiness. A singing_,bird spread the joyous song of life and. pea,ce from the tr~s uppermost branches. Angela Smith, says that the sessions are a chance for adults to have simulated play. "Most people don't feel comfortable with their bod~es ·and in many ways have become prisoners of them. What we are attempting to do, is to use excercise, deep breathing and dane~ movements to bring a person in tune with their whqle being. Body, mind, emotions and experiences." The program has been operating since the beginning of the spring ~mester. The participants have all been women but men are welcome also. Smith says the sessions are developed to help people become aware of the positive forces in life, love, peace, joy, harmony with oneself. She feels that the pressures of everyday living can become very heavy, and cause negative responses to other people, other ideas and even to ones own body and mind. Smith feels that the sessions are an opportunity for the students at San Jose City College to bring their minds, bodies and emotions together, in tune. So, if you are feeling like the world is crumbling 9:fOUnd you and mid terms, homework and the pressures of everyday life are pushing you under for the final time, drop by the Growth penter ·to play, become aware and feel the universal forces ·of life that you have hidden within ypu.

CIRCLE IN A CIRCLE ·• Students Maria Armstrong and Donny Es pinoz stand bock to examine a multi-colored, angular metal sculpture in the campus fibrary. The sculpture, decorated with vivid splashes of color, often stops visitors to the library in their tracks. Originally displayed in the Campus Gallery at the beginning of the fall semester, the sculpture was moved to the library, where it is getting lots more attention.
The health of Bay ar6.t marijuana smokers is in danger because of Paraquat, a deadly herbicide being sprayed on Mexican marijuana fields at U.S. expense. The spraying has been going on since 1975, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), but has only come to public attention in the last three months. The knowledge has caused a near panic in the Bay area, where about 23 percent of the samples received by a Palo Alto lab have been found to be contaminated. The main symptoms of Paraquat poisoning are breathing difficulty, coujjling up blood, and cheat pains. Permanent lung damage may result, but little is known for sure. "We don't know a hell of a lot about the effects," said Everett lewis, a drug rehabilitation worker at the Berkeley Free Clinic: "We're asking peopl& to be a little paranoid about the dope they smoke." Dr. Darrell lnaba of the Haight-Ashbury Clinic in San Francisco said that earlier reports of several poisoning cases at the clinic were inaccurate. "Right now we've seen people with possible symptoms, but said. no confirmed cases," lnabe said that although some of these people tYere heavy smokers of pot which proved to contain Paraquat, he could not be SL!re that they did not have some other ailment with similar symptions, such as pneumonia. The Pharm-Chem Research Foundation in Palo Alto has been testing marijuana samples anonymously
ne
for a $5 fee. A spokesman for the lab said that out of 1,428 samples over the past two months, 330, or 23 percent, were contaminated. There is now a three to six week wait for results from Pharm-Chem, whose phone number is (415) 322-9941. According to NORML the Paraquat spraying has been going of for three years, using U.S. supplied helicopters and more than $6 million worth of herbicides on Mexican fields. NORML has formally demanded that the U.S. State Dept. and DRug Enforcement Agency stop all support for the spraying program. NORML national director Keith Stroup has charged that the spraying violated the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 because the government hasn't filed an En vironmental Impact Statement. Reportedly, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture recommended two years ago that Paraquat spraying be discontiued, after a fatal accident involving the herbicide. The City College Times asked several students what they thought of Paraquat spraying and its effects. All said they were occasional pot smokers. One man agreed that Paraquat caused lung damage, but said, so does pot." He asked, "Who does it (responsibility) fall on? The dealers who sell it, the people who buy it or the people who spray it?" Another man said he knew of a friend of a friend who had been poisoned. " It really irritated his throat," . he said. A simple solution was suggested by one student. "I don't buy it, I grow it," she explained with a grin.

Soard of trustees needs stude nt·.- input
At a recent meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to continue the project by a vote of 3-2. This decision was reached after an emotional discussion in the board room. What should have been and easy decision took a good part of two hours to reach. The discussion began with a statement and argument aga inst the continuance of the calendar by then Board President Yancy Williams. Williams then opened the floor to comments by the faculty and administrators present. Each speaker was allowed one minute of time to present their argument pro or c~n about the issue. The majority of those who spoke, did so in defense of the 160-day calendar giving reasons why they liked it, what they had done with the extra 15 days, and why the hoped it would continue, which was difficult to do in the t ime allotted. Williams, stated that while it was ni.s;e to hear about the instructors trips with students to Paris or Mexico and the curriculum they had developed, he didn't feel that this was. reason enough to continue the calendar. He said that the dis-
trict must serve t he needs of the people in it and that as 75% of the students at bot h campuses were remedial, they needed to have those ext ra 15 days to make up their deficiencies. The obvious hole in t he dike of the argument that Wil liams presented was the absence of students to speak on the issue. The "faculty was present, the administrators were there, but the students were not. The students are the ones who have either benefited or suffered from t he shorter semester. Those students in the dis-trict who· have not received tne proper education prfor to attending college would find a 175-day calendar just as tough as a 160-day calendar. Fifteen days of extra classroom instruction wi ll not make up for deficiencies accrued in twelve years of education in the state schools. In many ways the 160-day calendar has been of benefit to those students who can read and write, the other 25%. The instructors at both campuses have used the extra 15 days to restructure, revise and tighten up their curriculum to the

·TV lowers grades f I
One survey released this week shows that at least some college freshmen consider themselves unprepared for college courses, while another survey helps explain why. The Office of Student Affairs at Ball State University found that half of the school' s freshmen think their high school education didn't adequately prepare them for their college curriculum, particularly English and math. But the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) thinks television watching in high school might help explain why. A NAEP survey of 10,000 17year-olds (mostly higl;l school juniors) found that" at>Out5f percent
of them do five hours or less homework in the ave rage week. And about 52 percent watch more than an hour of television each school night. The survey , taken in the spring of 1976, also revealed that those students who performed best on NAEP's standard testing were also those who watched less than an hour of TV per school night, and who do more than ten hours of homework a.week. Seven percent of the survey respondents reported they simply do no homework, although they have some assigned. Another six percent said they did not regularly get assigned homework .

Why does a college student enter a community college like San Jose City College? There seem to be a great variety of reasons. It may be because the student was unable to attend a four-year institution due to lack of money, or because their ability was lacking in the academic "area. If t his is so, the studfV~t who has the academic problems and attends City College needs assistance. Back in the days of high school, if a students was having problems in an academic subject, the instructor would notice and try and offer some kind of •sistance.

Hooray! Our team is back. That is to say, playwright Lanford Wilson and director Stuart Bennett are once again teamed up. And if the San Jose City College drama departmen t presentatio n of Wilson's "The Hot I Baltimore," helmed by Bennett is anything like what they did with last semester's "The Rimers of Eldritch," then it's a sure bet that our team is a ·winning one. "The Hot I Baltimore," winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, best American Play of 1972-73, the Obie ·Award's best Off-Broadw ay Play of 1972-1973, and the Outer Critics Circle's John Gassner Playwriting Award, will be staged at 8 p.m. April 20-22 and 27-29 in the City College theater. "I really got involved in a Lanford Wilson year," comments Bennett. "I really like the way he authen· tically treats people. He treats them with kindness and understandi ng, wiltl a wit, and a real awareness."

muCh different from the television series: 'What happened on TV is that they used only the bizarre, extreme characters from the play and delt with them. Everybody else, the more moderate char· acters, were cut out. So they made it a hi~·pitched, bizarre kind of TV farce-come dy." Lanford Wilson, in writing "The Hot I Baltimore," devised a very basic, but effective structure of presenting the play. In contrast to "The Rimers of El- ' dritch" where a contrapunt al technique was used, Wilson's structure in "Baltimore " proceeds in a basic chronilogic al order, where the play moves moment· by-moment, never changing location, but effectively allowing five or six personal stories of the characters to be woven together and developed throughout the play. Production of the play proceeded smoothly up un~il two weeks ago when the lead actress, Patty Bobbitt, t>ec.ne seriously i l~ and forced to vacate the role of "The Girl." Bennett, after some quick work, came . up with a replacemen t in an old, personal f riend, Estelle Goda. "Luckily, this is not too serious of a problem. Estelle is qu ite a competent actress. Morale is 'up' on the set," says Bennett. Tickets for the performanc es are available in the SJCC box office.

Stam pers ·dow n Qua kes in histo ric ba.t tle By Paul Lloret Sports Editor THE SCENE WAS the Oakland ColiSifiUm. I t was a clear and sunny afternoon, an afternoon wonh spending outdoors. A mul titude of fans had already entered the filled stadium in anticipation: the making of a historical event in the Bay Area. There was an exciting atmosphere in the air-aha! It must be the opening o f the 1978 baseball season. No, the A 's were not ready to play baseball. Instead, 32,104 fans . were ready to witness a soccer game. Soccer? That's right, soccer that world renowned sport which is the most popular game on earth. On Sunday, APril 2, the Oakland Stampers made their debut in the North American Soccer League before 30,000 plus fanatics by hosting the established San JoS8 Eanhquakes. It was only four years ago that the " foreign" game of soccer returned to the Bay Area
,oj s;::,~-;;,~:rak::; th:::m.defeated ~~Quakes Dallas, 4-3
SP0 ( t S
and returned soccer back to the Bay region after the Oakland Clippers final and diSBStrous campaign in 1967. So, fittingly, four years after the founding of the Quakes, the same owners decided to form a new club up nonh- in Oakland. Alas, enter the Stampers, a creation from the minds of o wner Milan Mandaric and general manllf/8r Dick Berg. The team was named for Oakland's relation to Nonhem California's wine industry (I never knew it existed) and was consequently called the Stampers. To push the "wine" aspect, seat sections were named Champagne, RostJ, and Chablis, while the team colors were white, burgundy, and blue (strangely enough when the Stomps en tered the field thiy fashioned white uniforms with blue and gold trim-and no burgundy).
And what a more fitting way to open their inaugural season than to host geographical and divisional rival San Jose. Hence, we have the makings of a fierce rivalry, initiated by this opening· day battle. However, while the atmosphere was exciting, the throng was lulled by a diSliRJlointing exhibition which provided few scoring chances and resulted in a scoreless tie. Yet in this league, soccer games do not end in ties. They end in overtimes- "sudden death" overtimes, unless those remain deadlocked. Then, games end in an absurd form of Russian Roulette: "shoo touts." Five one-on-one situations (shooter vs. goalie) for each side would ridiculously determine the outcome of the game. The team scoring the most goals would be the victor. Well, most of you know the rest of the story. Enter goalie-hero Shep Messing, who, with a little help from his defense, had stifled San JostJ's repeated attacks throughout the contest. Messing, who had already made a game-saving block of a penalty shot via the foot of Quake 1/ija Mitic, saved four of five shots while the Stampers beat Quake Mike Hewitt twice · to post a 1-0 win. What a way to start the season'-right?Well, while the Stampers won before a crowd which set a NASL record for opening day attendance by a first year club, one must not forget that approximately half of those fans had driven nonh from San JostJ to supp ort their Quakes.
AN INDICATION OF this was apparent when Stamper an1 former Earthquake cheerleader "Krazy George" attempted to lead the Oakland fans in their "Stom-pers" cheer. However, whenever George tried, he would receive a chorus of "Earth-quakes from the 15,000 or so south bay fans. However, while the opening debut of the Oakland club was definitely successful, will the successful trend continue? A fter the contest, Mr. Berg, like a typical businessman promoting his product, explained, "I figure 8,000 people today were from San Jose, which means we've got a base of 24 or 25,000. " Mr. Mandaric added, "I think we can build around the quality of the game ... I was worried a little today, because the game did not start off well for us. San Jose was playing their type of game and that wouldn' t be a good game for spectators. But the fans got everything today they could have gotten." Unfortunately, the fans DID NOT get everything. In fact they weren't fortunate enough to see the most important aspect of the game: scoring. In fact, the truth of the matter is that Oakland played a deand fensive game, sftting back waiting for chances to counterattack, while the Quakes used the offensive initiative and attacked throughout most of the match. And for soccer to click and be appealing to American fans, the spectators have to see scoring. American fans · like to see goals.

goalie saved two of four- StoiT!pe'r attempts in the tie-breaker round, but that was not enough, as Stomper goalie Shep Messing saved four of f ive in leading the Oaklanders to a 1..Q victory.

In San Jose and Dallas, Berg promoted a brand of soccer which was offense-minded and goal-oriented. However, in Oakland, Coach Mirko Stojanovic (former Quake goalie) has assembled a strong defensive cast-leaving his offense with a multitude of question marks. If the above examples have any connection wi th how dull the Quake-Stomper contest really was on the sunny day in Oakland, then defenstJ could be Oakland's downfall. However, the season is young and there is plenty of time to make changes. Supposedly a rivalry is born. Yet, while Oakland and San Jose are in the same division, they will only meet once more-i•~ the
Rachal and fourth place Willie Jackson. as the latter Jaguars posted identical times of 21.1. (NQU!: Lewis topped his m!lrk of 10.1 with a tremendous 10.0 clocking last Tuesday when SJCC coasted past San Mateo, 9348. The timing set a national record for the 100 meters. ) Not to be overlooked were Jackson and Ronni e Anderson, as the duo fininshed one-two behind Lewis in the 100 meters with respective clockings of 10.3 and 10.5, hence displaying San Jose's domination of the sprint events. While Anderson, Lewis, Jackson and Rachal teamed up for the top mark in the 440 relays, the mile relay squad of Andre Phillips, Greg Johnson, Fred Harvey and Pat Holcombe posted a high 3 :13.3 to claim the victory. Holcombe and Harvey also finished second and third in the 400 meters with identical 47.8 clockings. Phillips added a second-place finish . in the 400 intermediate hurdles at 52.2 to further add to the Jaguars' impressive performance. In the field competition Thurlis Gibbs captured the high jump at 7.(), while four other Jaguars cap· tured runner-up honors. Bill Traughber, Doug Hart, and Peter Moreno, posted second-place honors and Brian Binau posted a third-place finish in the shot put, javelin, triple jump and pole vault repectively.

By Paul Lloret Sports Editor It was 1973 when San Jose City College's golf squad last won the Golden Gate Conference Championship. Now five years later, the Jags are in the "driver'sseat,"so·to-sp eak, following a 36-18 triumph over
former league leader, Canada on • April 5 at Tile Villages. " It was the best team effort of the year," explained golf coach Harley Dow, as the Jaguar divottakers won their 12t h league game of the year against a single lossthat being against the Colts at the Menlo Country Club on Feb. 23.
Jags rout DA, Rams, keep pac e wi th CSM San Jose City College's Jaguar baseball squad continues to " roll-on" as the purple and gold kept pace with league-leading San Mateo with a pair of bruising victories last week. Following a wild 10·10 tie with Chabot on April 14 (the game w ill be continued in the 10th inning on April 25 when. the Jags host the Glads at SJCC), the Jags routed De Anza and San Francisco last Friday and Saturday respectively by a combined score of 32-1 1. SJCC downed the Dons by a 9 -2 margin via the strength of 14 hits. mittmen, as the third sacker Jaguar led the Chris Gallego belted four singles and a double while going five-for-five. Centerfielder Don Deatherage, rightfielder Roger Scala, catcher Robert Cardona, and first baseman Greg Robles each collected two hits in four at bats. Robles also added a homer to help Alan Hatley post his third conference win against one loss. On Saturday, the Jaguars produced their biggest run production o f the season with a 23-7 shellacking of San Francisco. The Jags scored in all but one inning, wh ile assaulting the Rams with a 19 h it attack. Todd Davis , who tripled and singled, accounted for three rbi's, while Robles led all hitters with three safeties. Deatherage, Gallego and Scala had two hits and two rbi's apiece, while second baseman Wes Mitchell batted in two to help SJCC post its 11th win against three losses and a tie.

" We knew we had to play well to win ," continued Dow, "so we produced the big effort when we had to. The · team worked like beavers and made the big shots." Leading SJCC in its important win were medalist Mike McMaster,. who notched a 68; Guy Jenness, who shot a 74; Craig Stewart, who tallied a 75; and Rick Vargas, who collected a 75. The Jaguars followed the crucial victory with a 52-2 pasting of Laney last Friday at Lake Chabot. Shawn McEntee claimed medalist honors with a 69 to pace the Jaguars to their 13th GGC win and 10th victory in a row. Dow explained that the Jags "are now in the position to control our own destiny," as the purple and gold have to keep pace with the Colts. "The pressure is on us now to keep on winning," Dow noted.
