One of the problems with Students of San Jose City College have a chance to express their ideas on the 160-day caiendar an<. how the extra 15 days of the in· terim period, between semesters might benefit themselves and the faculty. The '180-day calendar conim ittee is seeking information from the general student body on three key areas: -a list of courses and time (day, week, hour) in which student would participate, -other educational activities in which students would participate, - workshops in which students fell faculty, staff or administrators should participate so as to better serve the student population . Students should immediately submit taeir ideas in writing to the office of Dean of General lnstruc~ . tion Clyde Herrick.

coin operated lots is having to police them to discourage Iorge cars R. V .'s and vans from entering and clogging up traffic. West Volley College is currently experimenting w ith o compact car lot and campus police ch ief Mel Wagner says his office is finding it extremely difficult to enforce. "We've hod it (compact car lot) for well over o year now, and if it my way it would come out", says Wagner. He says when people can't find o place to pork , or ore only staying a short time, they will park in the small cor lot and block tr affic. If a Iorge car par k s in the middle, they block the whole row. Wagner says the court hasn't assured them that they w ill enforce any legal a ct ion taken aga inst v ioloters, and that unofficially the court t old them they consider it unenforceable. West Valley pol ice don't ticket cars yet , but leave a war ning and ask them to cooperate with the experiment. It is estimated that 50 percent of City College's st udents drive compact cars , and that the t rend is heading toward s small cars. There ore only one or two American cars that are u nder 14 feet in length, .which is usually the maximum length allowed. Mowry decided to try a compact cor lot because of the difficulty in finding a parking space. Also , there w ill be parking spaces lost as a result of the construction of the new Learning Resource Cen ter. The reconstruction is in conformance with the ultimate college master plan.

The evening show consisted of three competitions- "Cot and Style for Men," "Cut and Style for Women" and the " Totla Look Competitions," (design from hair to feet). The cosmet ology students demonstrated their talents in a variety of new hair styles and designs. The evening opened with belly dancing and entertainment included a Hawaiian dance, a comedy skit, a disco dance and two female guitar players. For the "Future Hair- Total Look" competition the students spent f rom 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. work· ing on their model's hair, costume and make·UP from head to toe. They were judged separately on these things. The judges consisted basically of salon owners and operat ors in the the area. Rick Sanders and his model were seco:ld in the "Total Look."

The trees are located near the counseling building. It is too early to tel l what the cost of the entire project w i ll be, but it may cost about $80,000. Mowry hopes the project can be completed with a " minimum amount of work." At the meeting he asked what students felt about a compact cor lot, and campus police chief Ken Rose said he asked for student input through " open line", but no students responded.
Seven honored By Jo Ann Souza Seven minority student s f rom San Jose City College were recognized by the College Board and will be included in the " Talent Roster of Outstanding Minority Community College Graduates," to be issued to four-y ear colleges and universities. Daniel Arruiza, Hilad Boyland, V ictor Conyers, Michael Curry, K ~vin James, Edward Claque and Sharon Tyson were among t he 1500 student from 35 states and t he District of Columbia who were selected on the basis of t heir academic achievement s, future poten· t ial and f inancial needs. The College Board, a non-profit educational association of over 2000 schools, colleges, universit ies and scholarship agencies nationwide designed the Talent Roster in 1976 t o promote minority enrollment in ~our-year colleges and u niversities. The 1978 Talent Roster was sent to admissions officers at all accredited fou r-year colleges listing the names, addresses, fields of study and grade point averges of student s who expect to comp lete t he associate degree during the 1977-1 978 academid y ear.
To be eligible for the Talent Roster, nominees must be BJack A merican, Puerto Rican, Mexican A merican or A merican Indian and a cit izen of the Unit ed States. They must also be enrolled in a College Transfe r Program and scheduled to received an Associated Degree by the end of the academic year. These m inority students must also have a cumulative grad e point average of at least 2.5 and have a semostrable financial need. "I t 's a good way for (minorit y) students t o explore other educational institutions, " said Zee Gib'son, a counselor at San Jose City College. San Jo5e City College will aw ard three scho larships in the fall semester 1978. One Dr. Martin L King Jr. Memorial Scholarship will go to an Afro-American student in his last semester of Associate of A rts degree program who plans to con· t inue at a four-year college or university. T o be eligible, a stu· dent must show evidence of out standing achievement or gradual improvement, and of actual or pot enti al contribu t ions t o betteri ng society. The nominee must also have financial needs. Five Henry Hamm er Memorial Scho larships will be awarded to st u· dents with Spanish-American An· cest ry who eit her attend this col· l eg~ full·time or on a cont inuing baSIS. They m ust also be a resident of t h is dist rict and have complet ed a minim um of 12 unit s. Further requirements include a minimum grad e point average of 2.5 and some contribut ion t o communtiy life.

San Jose City College deserves one student board member. Evergreen Valley College deserves one student board member. One of the issues that generated student support at last weeks board meeting was discussion of the implementation of Assembly Bill 591 which provides for the seating of one or more student re~resentatives on the Board of Trustees. These students, according to the bill, will not have voting power, but they will have the opportunity to give student input to issues before the board which require a vote or o!her action. The Chancellor, Or. Otto Roemmich, recommends that the board provide for only one student memb~r to serve on a rotating basis between campuses. Roemmich stated that there are many districts in the state with more than one campus and that most of them are recommending only one student board member. Roemmich said that some college districts could have up to as many as nine student representatives. This many students on the :b oard is just not feasoble. While ather districts may be larger than San Jose's they must deal with their own problems. ·The San Jose Community College district should be concerned with the students which attend the two widely diverse campuses in our area and not with what other districts in the state ore doing. The student governments from Son Jose City College and Evergreen Valley College would like to hove a representative from each school on the boord in order to fully represent the differences in problems, students, and modes of operation that exist at both campuses . The Times supports the leaders of districfL student governments and would like to see the San Jose City Community College District Board of Trustees seat two student representatives on the Board of Trustees.

on the balcony over the main desk. The instructor must have said something profound (or crack· ' ed a very funny joke) because the entire class was laughing-quite loudly. The two librarians at the desk looked up-that is all they did. The instructor tried to silence the group and succeed to a degree, but by this t ime my concentration had flown out the window . So I thought that I would go into the library proper and situate myself at one of the desks at the back wall of the library behind the books. I remained there until my next class started. Unfortunately, I had wasted about twenty m inutes that I could have used in more pro· ductive means than watching and

Rats celebrate too Given access to alcohol, rats develop social . drinking patterns very much like human beings. They have "cocktail hours" and "nightcaps," form groups that hang out at " bars," and even go on group binges in sort of bacch analia. Dr. Gaylord E IIison , professor of psychology at t he Un iversity of California at Los Angeles , has been studying behavior in a colony of rats situated in a socially enriched "condominium" environment . He has found t hat rats in these colonies show a number of human-like patterns of behavior that do not occur in rats kept in t raditional laboratoryisolation cages.
The rats tended to gather in groups at the alcohol spout (bar) and social ize spiritedly. There were two- or three-day cycles of high alcohol consumpt ion which did not occur in insolated animals. The co1ony animals would have a high alcohol intake day- a "party"-followed by several days of increased w ater intake, and then ano th er binge-like party day. As time went on, socially disruptive behavior increased in the colony and so did alcohol consumption. Even the normal control rats imbibed more. Tension seems to drive rats to drink, as it does many humans.

There are special sections · and rooms t hat you can go to talk and/or study with someone else: 1'm not talk ing about paper rustling or alarms going off, or even walking. I'm tal king about talkingstudents social izing in the library, 1 some students wish to sociali ze they should go to the Studen~ Union or outside. They shou ld have some consideration for those students who wish to study in peace and quiet. Granted, th is semester there is no " balconY class," but the underlying noise is still there.

Clever, sty lish, nimble, this is a first-rate SJCC production of a contemporary classic. Here is Lanford Wilson, the autocrat of humanism, dropping epigrams like appetizers before steak . With "The Hot L Baltimore" Wilson raises frivolity to high fashion , attains a comic realm through sheer nonsense. Aport from a wonderfully sly-tongued cast, which this SJCC Drama Dept. production has , the ploy demands a d irector who can crock the combination of its elegant wit and satirical wisdom w ith the silky fingers of o safe cracker. Stuart G . Bennett. drama instructor at SJCC , is just that sort of director, and the stamp of his assurance is his total trust in the playwright. And indeed, it takes a g reat deal of trust, considering some of the outlandish elements of the play: its imperious ma le dotage , its one browbeaten young boy, Jamie (Earl Young), whose weird s ister, Jackie (Eida Carmona), tries to con the hotel management to pay her car insurance , its hookers congregation which include a humorous rally-polly dogmatic and a hard-b iten romantic, and its often drunken , whining old lady among others. This is farce walking the tightrope of abs urdity. But it is also farce at its most u rbane - as impertinent in manner as it is k illingly high-to ned in la n guage. As with "The Rim e rs of
Hot L Ba ltimore ," for its fluid ity , for its lan g u age , fo r its story . Stu Benne tt 's direction and Ben She lto n's s e ttings serve t he autho r we ll a nd t he Io rge cast is well spo ken a nd , w ith two exception s, co nvinci ng . The e xcepti o ns are Earl Young a nd Marga re t Mo nta nez - good performe rs both , but the fi rst too o ld t o be cast as on adolesce nt a nd the latte r is , w e ll , the wrong sex to be cost as t he " De livery Boy. " Complete convince rs in clude Mi c he ll Wyatt, Donna Duca rme , A nto in ette Viola a n d Jose Garcia as Pau l G ra ng er Ill.

fifth title • 1n a row Chalk up another one for Son Jose City College's track team! The SJCC tracksters surprised no one last Thursday (April 20), as the Jaguars claimed their fifth straight Golden Gate Conference dual-meet championship with a 94-51 decision over Chabot at Hayward. The Jaguars, who won all but four events, disposed of the previously unbeaten Gladiators to mark their 44th consecutive dualmeet victory over a span of five years. Wi llie Jackson and Andre Phill ips each captured two events, the former win-n ing the 270 and 440 and the Iotter triumphing in both hurdle events. Jackson recorded a time of 21 .6 in the 220 while clocking a 49.1 in the 440. He also ron the third leg of the 440 relay team (Ronnie Anderson , Ernest Lewis, Eugene Rachal. and Jackson) which pos'ted a winning time of 42.7. Phillips recorded times of 14.7 and 54.4 in the 120 high hurdles and 130 intermediate hurdles respect ively . The!" there is Lewis. The owner of the world's best hand-timed clockings in the 100 and 200 meters ron a winning 10 .3 in the 100 meters besides participating with the 440 yard relay squad by running the second leg in their victory. Thurlis Gibbs high-jumped a 7-1, Pat Holcombe ran a 1:55.0 in the 880, Bill Traughber heav8Q a 52- 10 in the shot put, and Doug Hart tossed a 190-4 in the javelin throw to add to the list of SJCC The winners. mile relay squad also recbrded an easy 3 :38.3 victory.
Jaguars drop pair,
fall to 4th San Jose City College's Jag mittmen have picked the uor wrong time to start a slump, as the Jaguars dropped a pair of verdicts to red-hot Chabo t last Tuesday at t he SJCC diamond. The Gladiators won the completion of the April 4 game that was suspended by scoring a run in the last of the 16th . inning to capture their ninth straight win, 11 -10. The Glads then completed the afternoon in a winning fashion by thrashing SJCC, 8-3, to win their lOth consecutive boll game. The Glads are now.16-6, only one game behind l eague-leading Son Mateo, who won a 7-1 decision from Son Francisco. The _Jags, who have lostthree of their last four games (four of their last six including the f irst loss to Chabot) dropped to fourth place w ith a 14-8 record . M ore importantly, with the pair of losses, SJCC is now only a game ahead of Foothill in the race for the final playoff spot. Foothill upped their record to 13-9 with a pair of wins over West Valley to remain a game away from the fourth place Jogs.

In the world of athletics, as in business, there are all sorts of financial ups and downs. While athletics hove always been successful at City College, there are still the financial burdens which creep into the picture. These burdens, which con be threatening to any school's athletic deportment, struck SJCC this season. The result was the dropping of soccer and men's tennis from City College's athletic program next year . In a board meeting last month, it was announced that soccer would leave SJCC and be moved to Evergreen, while men's tennis would be dropped from the Jaguar program. Citing a budget problem as a main reason for the dropping of the two sports, SJCC Athletic Director Bert Bonanno explained that it was a tough choice to make, "But that it was a decision that I hod to make." However, whi le both programs ore leaving SJCC, they will not leave the district; soccer will be transferred over to EVC, while men's tennis, which will

-ICE ACTION-Pictures from a National Hockey League game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 18 show three different facets of the game. Clockwise from left: Kings' goaltender Rogie Vachon is about to cover the puck in action in front of the net while defender Bob Murdoch helps by blocking out Dave Williams; Kings' Butch Goring (left) ready fo "face-off" with Toronto's Darryl Sittler (right ) as Murdoch again looks on ; Kings' Bert Wilson engages in fisticuffs with Torontos' Kurt Walker while linesmen try to ·patch up the "differences of opin ion." Fighting is one of the more "controversial" aspects of the game, yet every hockey player, besides learning how to skate, shoot and stickhandle, knows how to fight.
It is cal led the world's fastest team sport. It is a game which is both graceful and physical; a game which is f lashy and aggressive ; a game which is intense; so intense, that sometimes fights break out. It is known as hockey. Out west, hockey is a relatively unknown sport. It has its fans (many · of them who were east coast residents and have grown up with the game, and some of them wh o have learned to enjoy the game) yet the sport is far behind the popularity of baseball and football, your relatively recognized well-know sports. However, in the snowy New Engl and region , the icelands of Minne· sota and, especially, the frozen regions of Canada, hockey is a way of life. I n Canada, where one learns how to skate before they learn how to walk, hockey is the national game. Canadians take great pride in their game and are insulted when someone either demoralizes, criticizes, or attacks it. They are ever surrounded by t he sport; it is their life. In the United States the game l ags behind the recognition of the other "popular" sports. However, in recent years the game has risen to greater heights of recognition . More U.S. fans view the game. In fact, more U.S. players are participating in college and joining the pro ranks. But what is this game all about? How and why is it becoming more popular? First of all there is the speed. Players travel at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour on skates. Pucks, those round rubber disks which are 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick, travel at speeds of up to 100 mph or more when shot from the laminated wooden sticks of p layers. Second, there is the action. What is there to say wh en end to end action is played on a rink 200 feet long by 85 feet wide with no time outs except when play is stopped due to a goalie's save, when a puck is "frozen," or when the round disc flies over the board s- t he name given t o the panels surroundi ng the players and serving as a boundary which keeps the dangerous action away from the spectators. There is much more that enhances the gam e, but the above examples are more than enough to show why the game is becoming more popular on the west coast. In these pictures, of National Hockey League action, the Los Angeles Kings played before a crowd of 14,000 plus in a game against the Tor· onto Maple Leafs. The game, this one was won by the Kings, 2-1, usually draws good crowds in LA. The pictures shown in this feature shows one just a little of the excitement of what the game is all about and why LA. fans atte nd the sport. Many fans in th e Bay Area knew what this excitement was . . . until the California Seals moved to Cleveland. However with the arrival of the Shamrocks maybe more will find out what the game is all about. Only until you've seen a hockey game will you find out why it is growing in popularity and on the verge of be· comi the sport of the future .

It's not as if they won't hove a p lace to ' - - - · ploy, because they still will." Nokaso, giving some comments on the dropping of the two sports, explained that he was "sod" and " disappointed ," especially since both squads had " good turnouts" this year. " I have personal grievances, especially since the facilities here are outstand ing. Our tennis classes (physical education ) are always popular _w i th the students , so I feel that it's a loss." He continued , " Obviously, I knew t hat money was a pr oblem , but I still feel that the d istrict can f ield both sports in each school. However, I volunteered to l m in h>n\o>,n· go." Wh ile the two t eams are leaving, both the tennis courts and soccer f ield will still be used. Bonanno commented , "We need both facilities for P.E. classes and for the community. Also, with the building of the new tennis courts and the (Continued on page 2, col.5)

SJCC participates ) since the former is "more competitive" and the " GGC is much larger with more talent." " I felt that it (soccer) would hove more of an opportunity to hove success at EVC in the Coast Conference than in the GGC," Bonanno continued. "You hove to look at the success quotient of having two programs in the district, and I feel that EVC is ready to field a successful soccer team. " Bonanno's comment may reflect a good point . In its three years at SJCC , soccer clubs hove never fielded records above the .500 mark. On the subject of the dropping of tennis, Bonanno noted that the women's team will stay here since EVC's women's programs " have not been successful." "The women's prog rams here are 'young ,' and the established sports like football and basketball are competitive in the GGC. I felt that the GGC was too strong for our school to participate in tennis, since kids from De Anzo, Foothi ll and Canada are bred to play." "This is a pretty good district for tennis," Bonanno added , "but it hasn't been

be dropped, is a lready established at EVC. Yet , while a budget problem was a major reosori for the dismissal of the two, Bonanno noted that it was a move to help EVC start a successful sports program. Stating that h is decision was based on a combination of many things, he explained, " It's d ifficult in a multi-community college district to have two teams (of each sport) and be successful in both. I believe EVC is ready f or one more sport, and since there is not a diamond , gym, or football field on the campus , soccer seemed the logical sport, especially since they hove a soccer field ." Bonanno continued, " I discussed it with the staff members (of the athletic department) on~ with Coach (Sam) Nokaso (coach of the men 's tennis and soccer teams) and he volunteered to go." The head of the athletic deportment also commented that both sports hove a better chance of being successful in the Coast Conference (the league in which EVC teams participate) than the Golden Gate Conference (the league in wh ich
Jag golfers' title dream shattered

The Dons handed SJCC on ly its third con ference loss of the year and fourth overa ll loss of the season while upping their own chances of capturing the league crown with a 32-22 decision over the Jogs. The Dons ore now tied with Canada for first , as each team sported 15-2 records going into the final week of the season . "Even though a tie f or second is the best we con do, I still con call this a success ful year," Dow commented, as the golfers, who ended the ir regular season at 15-3 in league play and 22-4 overall , still hove a chance to advance to the Nor-Cal tournament should they win the conference tourney at the Ridgemork Country Club in Ho lli ster on M onday.
