By Joan Word nts from both Son Jose City College Evergreen Volley College expressed disof procedures for implementing A.B. at the San Jose Community College board meeting Tuesday . sembly Bill 591 updates the Education Code requires that one or more students serve a member of the board of trustees in collegE' di-.trkt. The "tudents will be nonmembers and will hove the right to attend board meetings except for executive ions. The Board of Trustees is required to •·•=~l"u, ish procedures under which a student is
selected to serve on the board. Robert Ramirez, pres ident of the Associated Student Body organization at City College, and Mike Medina , student body Vice president at EVC , spoke out against a proposal from Chancellor Dr. Otto Roemmich which would provide for only one student member to serve on the board on a rotating basis . Ramierz and Medina felt that student representatives from each college should be on the board , and that students sllould be involved in the implementation procedures. The trustees deferred action on the matter until the next board meeting in May.

Constitution a I body organized by ASC By David C. Brown The continuing controversy over the validity o f the 1977 Associated Student Body Constitution came one step closer to bei ng resolved in the Turesday meeting of the Student Council. Ida Johnson, a member of stu dent government and the Black Student Union asked the council "Who is the Constitution Com~ i tte th.at submitt ed the let~er pub· hshed m the City College last Friday? " She was told by council President Robert Ramirez that he signed the letter and t hat the comm ittee ref erred to was an An Hoc Committee. Johnson then asked , " that the minutes of the April 18 Student Council meeting show that Ramirez signed the letter and that he is not the ASB Constitutional Committee and that the letter came from him an no one authorized by the current council." The current Constitution Committee was fo rmed at the April 13 meeting of the council and the letter referred to was dated April 7 ' 1978. The comm ittee will consist of six mem bers which were selected by the Council in Tuesday 's meeting. They are Ida Johnson, Carmelita Boyd, Julian Macies, Mike Galvin, Charles Tate and Pat Pennix. It will be t he responsibility of t he committee to investigate any alleged discrepancies in the 1977 constitution. The controve rsy which began
in February 1978 stems from allegations by Robert Ramirez that the 1975 Constitution approved by the General Student Body in an election on May 27; 1975 is not the same document that was approved by the Board of Trustees on July 5, 1977. T.J. Owens, Dean of Student Serv ices and advisor to the student government class stated that he, Robert Ramirez and Administra· tive Assistant Angel Vasquez took the material from the election and brought it together in a meeting prior to submitting it to the Board for approval. The minutes of the July 5, 1977 show that both Owens and Ramirez were present when the document was approved. The minutes also show that Owens explained any changes in the document that d iffered from what the students had passed in 1975. Ramirez was not listed in the m inutes as making a comment either way. Subsequently the Student Government of San Jose City Coll ege began to operate under the 1977
Constitution when classes started in August 1977. It was not until February 1978 that any discrep· ancies were noted by Robert Ramirez. Tehe nature of the discrepancies have not been made public by Ramirez except for the contention that the document is not valid as stated in the letter to the Times last week. However the nature of the d iscrepancies will now be the responsi· bility o f the Constitutional Com· mittee. Other action at the Tuesday meeting resulted in the confirmation of the election dates for Student Body elections. Election will be held on May 10 and 11 and petitions for candidacy may be picked up at any time through April 28 in Rooms U204 or U215. The Council also changed the 100 signatures requirement to 50 signatures that are needed by prospective candidates. Other candidate requirements will be explained by student government in the rooms listed.

Women's plight ignored By Darlene " K" Peffley protest the decision of the San Jose College hierarchy in con· firming the governor of Nevada as a speaker for the graduation exercises of 1978. Nevada has not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to date and I am amazed that the governing board of the college would be so unaffected and callous as to ignore the plight of women nationwide. This action is a blatant attack on women. By the mere assumption that as women we will sit back and allow a non-ratified state's governor to speak shows a lack of respect und support for women as equals from our "educators."

By Alex Michael (EDITOR'S NOTE : The following editorial, written by Times Editorial Page Editor Joan Ward, was awarded a first-place prize in the 1978 Jour· nalism Association of Community Colleges Conference at Asilomar. It is based upon a speech on basking sharks given by William Bryan of Salinas, a marine and nature photographer.)
People, like animals, don't always fit in boxes. Yet all too often people are labeled, classified and lumped together as though they were boxes of cereal or soap on a supermarket shelf, instead of being treated individually. The same is true of animals. Marine photographer William Bryan illustrated this graphically yesterday while relating his experience with the basking shark to members of the Journalism Association of Community Colleges at Asilomar. Bryan, like most people, once regarded all sharks as fearsome creatures. And certainly news reports of shark attacks on people and movies such as "Jaws" have done much to perpetuate this myth. However, B,.Yan found that the basking shark, the largest fish in northern seas, is gentle, doesn't have razorsharp teeth and is interested only in devouring plankton not humans. Many myths are perpetuated about people also-myths about age, race, sex and ethnic background, but people like sharks should be treated oti an individual basis and not shoved into stereotyped boxes.
Strange mala·d ystrikes City College Classrooms are almost deserted. However, the lawns are filled with students who are sitting, sleeping, meditating or just plain daydreaming. Students whose bodies are on campus, but who_se minds are on the beach at Santa Cruz. Clothing styles have changed . Jeans and T-shirts have been replaced by shorts and sundresses. Boots and tennis shoes have been replaced by sandals and in some instances, barefeet . Vending machines containing coffee and hot food are ignored, while those containing popsicles and ice cream bars don't get any rest. A classroom chalkboard. which is generally covered with figures and diagrams, now bears the cryptic note, "Great weather-class cancelled." Instructors are trying desperately to interest their remaining audience, but the attention of t he students and the good vibes aren't there. Most of the people on campus are limp and lethargic. The older ones appear to have forgotton their daily dose of Geritol and the younger ones seem to have skipped their One-A-Day vitamins. · What is the reason for all these changes? Spring has arrived at City College.
was talking about the Paraqua t scare to a friend with whom I regularly get stoned. We were angry that the government had so li ttle regard for our safety and for that of mi llions of other pot smokers and talked about what we should do. My friend startled me. "What they should do ," he said , "is put something in hero in instead . I mean, if ont! more junkie gets killed, bi·g f-··i ng deal." I could only shake my head , not having an answer. I have one now. There are many possible objections to the Paraquat spraying program. I could point out the government's hypocrisy in this: Jimmy Carter recently went before Con· gress to recommend that marijuana be ·decriminalized , at the same t ime America n helicopters were dropping American defoliants on the Mexican countryside. I could say that the spraying is carried out virtually next door to ~----------------------r to corn fields in some places and that he Paraquat is even more dangerous swallowed than breathed.

2. Mexican marijuana farmers have found that the amount of Paraquat in ratio to amount on plants is very low. The plants are often left to fully develop, since the Paraquat is not strong enough to kill the plant. It is my personal opinion that this is just another government drug hoax. Sure Paraquat has been found on dope by Pharm·Chem. big deal! Not one case of true Paraquat has · yet been diagnosed. Robert Rasmussen
Editor: It may be true, as Robert Ras· mussen says, that "many chemists are claiming" that Paraquat is ren· dered harmless by burning. All I can say is that the doctors and drug workers I talked to seemed to take the health hazards of burning Paraquat very seriously. Rasmussen says that the amount of Paraquat on marijuana plants is_ very small. In fact, samples of pot have been analyzed which contained up to 2 ,000 parts per million (ppm) of Paraquat. The largest concentration legally allowed on crops in this country , where Paraquat is used as a weed killer, is .05 to .5 ppm, according to Don Dye, a spokesman for t he Chevron Chemical Cornp, .which formulates the stuff. What's more, AI Clancy, a bio· chemistry student at U.C. Berkeley
found last week that one billionth of a gram of Paraquat injected (unburned) into the lungs of a rabbit produced non-fatal lun!l lesions. No one I interviewed would confirm that there had been actual cases of Paraquat poisoning, so Ras· mussen may be justified in saying t hat there have been no cases. However, in my opinion Dr. lnaba of the Haight-Ashbury Clinic was trying to minimize panic when he dinied that there had been cases confirmed. l naba examined people who coughed up blood and felt severe chest pains who had been smoking contaminated pot . He admitted that he couldn't say for sure that they had not been poisoned, but said that the symptoms might be "coincidental." Alex Michael

Present day ast ronomers are puzzling over why quasars sh ine. Quasars, which were d iscovered in the early 1960's, were first believed to be ord inary stars.

DVC captures GGC
By Paul Lloret Sports Ejitor THEY CALL IT the "shootout," It is the North American Soccer League's way to determine who should win a game, should a contest remain tied after 105 minutes (15 of them sudden-death overtime) of action.
By Paul Lloret Sports Editor It wasn't much of a surprise, but whether surpris· t Diablo Valley's Vik ings captured ~he Gold· . d ' t Frrday . h' rng or no , an Conference Champions Gate . . C IPS, .as en Saturday at De Anza College In upertmo. The Vikes. who had won t.h e ~GC ?ual • meet crown with an unbeaten mark With nine wms, scored 485 points, 191 ahead of second place West ~a_lley. It was the third straight league crown for the Vlkrngs. Meanwhile, City College's Aquajag~ mustered up fifth place behind third place Foothill and fourth . place De Anza. In women's competition, DVC cla1med the GGC title by a closer margin, 524-509 over D~ Anza. The Jaguar women finished sixth w1th 109 po1nts. De Anza's Sandy Ferrin starred in t~e _wome n's competition by nabbing three first pla~e f1n1s hes. She won the 200 yard individual medley 10 2 :14.7. the 200 meter freestyle in 1:59. 8. 500 free in 5:05.4 and finished second in the 50 meter backstroke at 30.1. Starring in the men's competition were DVC's Paul Lohmann and West Valley 's Brian Jones, as each grabbed three victories. Lohmann was a victor in the 200 IM at 2:00.00 and the 400 IM in 4:21 .7. He also added a 1 :59.0 timing to win the 200 meter backstoke. James won both the 200 meter freesty le and 500 free at 1 :43.2 and 4:35.2 respectively while capturing the 100 free at 47.5. Jim Marshall captured two second place events to pace the Jaguars to their fifth p_lace finish. Marshall posted times of 47.6 and 21.57 rn the 1~0 fr~e and 50 free respectively. Mike Craddock was f1fth rn two events, the 400 IM and 500 free, as was Rick Ranzau, who finished in the fifth position in t he 100 free and 100 butterfly. Stan Cheu nabbed sixth place honors twice, in the 200 meter breaststroke and 100 breaststroke. Both the 800 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay squads claimed third place honors, while the 200 FR and 400 medley relay teams gained fourth and fifth place finishes. Mirian Roberts posted a fifth place finish in the 100 free at 58.2 and clocked a 2:07.6 in the 200 tree (good for sixth place) to aid the Jaguar women. The Jagettes' 200 MR squad also finished fifth at 2 :26.8. The meet was a bit of a disappointment for the men's squad, as they collected 233 points in endi ng fifth. The Aquajags finished third in dual meet competition. AQUA NOTES: The Nor-Cal championships will be held on April 28 (a week from today) to April 29 at Solano, with meets continuing all day. The state championships will be held at East Los Angeles College on May 4-6.
The rules of thi~ simplistic version of Russian Roulette are as follows: Team A sends its five best shooters against Team B's goalie, while Team B selects its five best shooters to face Team A's goalie. The object is to score the most goals in the five one-on one situations. The shooter gets five seconds to shoot, starting from 35 yards away from the goal. The technique is simple, the shooter tries to .o utmaneuver the goalie and vice versa. The team which scores the most goals in this session claims the victory. This method is just one of the ridiculous rules which the NASL has treated knowledgeable soccer fans with . The second is the scoring system, where a team gets six points for a win and up to three bonus ponus points • for goals, two bonus points; etc.). This rule is supposed to entice more scoring. However, a team can get three points for losing 8 -3 while a team which plays a fine game in a 2-1 losing cause can only gain one point. Seems ridiculous doesn't it? Well, the NASL points out that American fans don't like tie games. They like either a winner or a loser. THE NASL SHOULD ask the San Jose Earthquakes and their fans about their opinions of "shootout," especially after the Quakes have lost their opening thre~ games via the idiotic process. If the league were to ask 18,000 fans at Spartan Stadium for their opinions of this rule, it would be in for a rude awakening. First of all, to decide a game in this fashion is like deciding a basketball game (that has gone into overtime) via freethrows. It's like taking the speed of hockey and deciding a Stanley Cup contest via penalty shots. Or how about deciding a baseball game that has gone into extra innings by taking your best batter and pitting him against the opposing pitcher. If he doubles and the opposing player only singles, your team would win the game by gaining an extra base. Well, the word for these · examples is: absurd. Instead, the NASL should allow games, should they go into overtime, to be played 20 minutes in the sudden-death fashion. Should a game remain tied, it should remain as so. It's a shame to see two teams works for 105 minutes, only to have one of them lose in this silly fashion. IF THE NASL ever changes this format and accepts ties, it would have to accept the more popular scoring system of two points for a win and one for a tie and deal away bonus points. Not only would it make more sense to foreign players (who are already confused enough as it is when they participate in "shootout"), but it would be more universally acceptable. Does this make a difference? Ask the Quakes. Instead of trailing San Diego by 30 points (33-3). they would be trailing t~em by only four (7-3), via the three ties. (This was of April 17.)
As it is, the NASL will contue to dismay, madden, and eventually, repel fans if it doesn 't make a change. Believe it! - a change has to be made-shootout must go. As Earthquake defender lan Wood commented (about "shootout"), after arriving from England t o participate in his first "shootout" -(in his first game with the Quakes after a 1-0 loss to California on April 9), " Th is is rubbish." Well lan, I could hardly agree with you more.
Softball squad toppled ... a.gain Winning doesn't seem to come easy for the J aguar women's softball squad. In fact, sometimes it doesn't come at all. The Jaguars dropped all th ree of their games last wee k, breaking their one game win streak by losing two games to De Anza College, playing one in San Jose and one in Palo Alto, and also losing to Chabot College in Hayward. Their league record is now 1-9. The Jaguars most "impressive" loss out of the three games was an 8-4 decision by De Anza. The Jags went in front of the Dons, 4·1 by scoring four runs in the first inning. C.J. Rivera started it off with a single to left field. After a wa lk to Norma Minjares, centerfielder Bridgett Edwards belted a double to right field, scoring Rivera and Minjares. Cheri Jensen then singled in Edwards and later' scored on leftfielder Julie Moles' single to make the score 4-1 . But that wasn't enough to hold off De Anza, as the Dons scored one run in the second inning, fou r in the fifth and two more in the sixth to put them in front to stay. The Jaguars had a rematch with De Anza, this time playing on the Dons' home field, but still came out on the losing end as the Dons routed the J ags, 14-3. Chabot College did just as well against the Jaguars as did De Anza by httting their bats do the talking, trouncing the Jags 10-2 and pounding out 10 hits off losing pitcher Shari Sakoda.

Jags leash Bulldogs, 8-4 .After two consecutive losses, Son Jose City College's chances of claiming · the Golden Gate Conference baseball crown seemed dim. However, the Jags bounced back to post a stunning 8-4 decision over leagueleading San Mateo last Tuesday to close within a game and o

However, the Jagars remained ahead of both Canada and De Anza , as the Iotter two sport 14-2 records as compared to SJCC's 15-2 mark. Guy Jenness captured medalist honors with a 74 for the day in the losing cause . Last Friday, the Jaguar divot-takers added their 12th straight victory to their 15-1 league mark with a 39-15 thrashing of the Chabot Gladiators . last Friday at The Villages. Craig Stewart and Tim Albreht scored 74's in pacing the purple and gold to their 22nd overall triumph. T he two were aided by Mike McMaster's 75 and Shawn McEntee's 76 scores. MEN'S TENNIS Things have not been going well for San Jose City College's men's tennis squad, as the Jaguar netters dropped a 7-2 decision to Foothill last Friday at SJCC. The loss was preceded by a 9 -0 downfall to De Anza three days earlier. Coach Sam Nakaso, commenting on the netters' disappointing year, explained , "We may have expected too much from the kids at the beginning of the year. Now we are play ing the toughest teams in the league toward the end of our schedule; we faced DVC, De Anza and Foothillteams we have never won agai nst." However, there have been a few bright spots in the racketmen's year, despite a 1-7 Golden Gate Conference mark. Mark Lanning, Chris Mertz and Frank Noto have been the most consistent Jaguars, with Lanning sporting a 11 ·3 record in singles play while carrying the number one seeding throughout most of the year. Mertz and Noto have earned 7-5 and 8-6 singles records respectively to help the Jaguars gain some respect during the year. "I think we may have slumped when the rains came; we started out fairly well in the early part of the season but have slumped since then," Nakaso added.

Mike Schneikert tripled and Chris Gallego doubled to help the purple and gold up their mark to 13-5-1. San Mateo , who lost last Monday to laney, dropped to 15-4, while Laney moved back into third after a 13-1 downfall at then hands of Canada. The Jaguars received a setback in their chase of league-leading San Mateo at the hands of West Valley and Diablo Valley last Monday and Thursday (April 13) respectively. In both losses the Jags saw leads evaporate: against DVC a 4·0 lead turned into a 9 -7 loss, while a 4·2 advantage changed into a 6-4 loss to WVC. At City College on Monday, three Jag relievers were racked with four runs, as the Vikes from Sara· toga notched four runs in the top half of the ninth inning. Don Deatherage provided the firepower in the loss, which dropped SJCC's league mark to 12-5-1. The centerfielder drove home two runs with three hits on the day . Last Tuesday (April 11 ), the Jag batsmen clobbered Foothill with a 16 hit attack in capturing a 134 victory atthe SJCCdiamond. Mike Couchee survived a shaky first inn ing and proceeded to record his fifth straight GGC win of the year against one loss.

fiv.e events at Bakersfield
There is one word that best descri bes San Jose City College's track squad: awesome. Last Saturday, the San Jose City College t rack· sters traveled to Bakersfield to participate in the Bakersfield Relays and wound up claiming five individual events and one relay, the 440, to furth er continue their march to the state meet. Earnest Lewis, who owns the world's best 100 meter mark of the season with a 10.0 hand-timed clocking, and the second best outdoor mark in the 200 meters at 20.4, teamed up with Ronnie Anderson, Willie Jackson and Eugene Rachal to post a 40.9 t iming in the 440 relay. The meet, which was held under horrid weather conditions, saw Dwayne Green, Andre Phillips, Thurlis Gibbs, Peter Moreno and Bill Traughber all record top marks in claim ing victories in the 100 meters, 110 high hurdles, high jump, triple jump and shot, put respectively. Green captured the 100 meters in 10.3, while Phil lips earned h is victory in the 110 HH with a 14.4 clocking. Moreno leaped to a 50-lOY. triple jump win while Traughber claimed top honors in the shot put with a toss of 53-8Y.. Thurlis Gibbs recorded the best mark of his life in the high jump with a 7-2 dive, currently a national best among the Junior College ranks. Kevin Goode also recorded a lifetime best but his mark was in the discu s throw with a fling o f 1G0-2. TRACKSTER TIDBITS: The Jaguar spikers were scheduled to face Chabot in their last league meet of the season last Thursdav. .. The Jags are preparing for the Golden Gate Conference trials and fin als next Wednesday and Friday respectively. The meets will be held at Chabot.
