By Joan Ward The toss of a coi n was the
thod chosen by the Board of ~Stees of the San Jose Comnitv College District Tuesday implement Assembly Bill 591, iCh adds a non-voting student !fiber to the board. Evergreen Valley College won toss and will select a student serve for one year, beginning
t 1. The board had voted earlier to rN only one student to represent
h San Jose City College and C despite protests from student ~~!!!!!!!!!ltV representatives of both col·
leges and despite pleas from P! Crawford of the Faculty Senate and Dale Debold of the Faculty Council that both campuses have equal representation. In a heated discussion before the vote, board member Yancy Williams said that having two student members on the board · would be unworkable and that most campuses are represented by -only one member. Students have argued over con· stitutions and forms for years and then they walk away and find a new toy to play with," said Williams. Williams also told student,
Rick Hendricks, "This board has more to be concerned about than your personal opinion." Selection of the new student board member will be deferred until the Evergreen ASB can revise their selection procedure since they had planned election procedures for a representative from each college. In other action, the board voted · to have Conciliation Specialist Frederick Gray of the Community Relations Service of the U.S. Department of Justice serve as a mediator between the administration and the Third World Student Coalition on the implement ation of an Affirmative Action Plan. The board also voted to authorize the administration to advertise for bids for replacement of the District computer system. The new system when decided on could save the district an estimated $500,000 over a five year period. In other matters the board: --Heard a presentation on the effectiveness of the CHALUI Counseling Program --Authorized the sublease of off. ·, campus facilities for the Electrical , Appr~llticeship :aining Program.

San Jose City College has re· cently established a College Goals and Objectives Committee for the purpose of reviewing and reassessing the College's mission and goals. The Committee memberst,ip has a broad bose of faculty, students, administration, classi· fied staff and community representations. The members of the committee were chosen by members of their areas and not appointed by the administra· tion . The members of the College Goals Committee would like to know how students, faculty, members of the community ad· ministrations and the District Boord see the role of the College in the community. Responses may be sent to GOALS, Box 1, Son Jose City College, 2100 Moorpark Ave., Son Jose, CA . This must be received by Thursday . All views will be considered .

The protest is being orgoniz· ed by an Ad Hoc Student Protest Commttee which is not attacking the governow per· sonally b_uJ rather the fact that the State of Nevada has not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. The committee sent a letter to the Governor stating their points of contention and also one to the Times.

Uebra Trublood are also enrolled." Dow said that when the semester began he thought the women might only last a week "but, they 've stayed in and enjoy it . It's a good way to work out physically, and boxing is good for self-protection and confidence." The class session begins as the students help each other put their gloves on. The students then pair up and begin their drills switching off while practicing punches. Then the students jumprope, one minute at a time. Dow says that one min· ute of proper jumproping is equivalent to running about a quarter of a mile. At the beginning of the semester the women tended to just "mix it up" with each other but, now they box with the men in drills and on a rotating l;lasis. "I also thought that I might have to adjust the class or get more equipment because of the women, but none of that was necessary," said Dow. "They find a lot of value in the class. I would encourage other women to think about taking , a boxing class also." Surprisingly there are not a lot of injuries in the class. The few that do occur are usually along the lines of a bloody nose or a knocked out contact lens. "The class is good for self-defense and it really gets you into shape," said Michelle Marcellino. "It's fun. I plan to take th is class next semester." "At first the guys didn't take us seriously, but, now they do. I hope that more women decide to take it" said Karen Fuuba. Everi if these women don't take another boxing class chances are that they 've learned enough to at least "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee." Look out 1Aii!
Dear Governor O'Colloghon, We are co-chairpersons of the Ad-Hoc Student Protest Committee, formed in response to your proposed involvement in our school's commencement excercises . We hove acquainted ourselves with . your personal stance on the issue of the Equal Rights Amendment. We applaud your efforts on behalf of women in Nevada , but · as you represent an unratified state, we must protest the lack of foresight on behalf of our administrators in inviting you to our campus . We respectfullt submit that you decline the invitation to speak. We feel that you will understand fully the importance of this issue. Time is of the essence in the passage of this amendment and we cannot
afford the luxury of patience in this matter. Therefore, we plan to stage rallies , demonstrations, and will actively protest your appear· once at the graduation cere· monies , should you still choose to come. Even the Bood of Supervisors of Santo Claro County has voted to boycott unratified states. We find the implications inherent in the blatant disregard of women by the administration of Son Jose City College appalling. The boycott is the most viable power at our command and we will use every tatic available to protest thi.s undermining of our cause. We urge you to reconsider your decision. Respectfully, Ad-Hoc Student Protest Com· mlttee.
3 students seek top AS B position By Dorie Panopu101
Three Son Jose City College students will seek the office of ASB president in the Associated Student Council elections Wednesday and Thursday. According to Charles Tote, director of academic affairs and commissioner of the Elections, there hove been three applications turned in for the office of President, one for the office of Vice President, but none for the office of president over the elections of the post when there was only one candidate running for office. At on election meeting held earlier this week in the office of Charles Tate, he briefed the candidates on several of the major e lect ion proceedures and some of the major rules which need to be ,followed during the election campaigning and the election itself. None of the candidates seemed to be bothered by the elections procedures which they must follow. Candidates running for the office of President are Robert Ramirez the current Associated Student Council President; Hugh Lilly and Mike Galvan . There is only one candidate running for the office of Vice President. She is Frankie Yourgulez. since there is no one running for the position of Administrative Assistant, someone will be appointed to the post by the new Council President. Editor's Note : Due to deadlines, the Times was unable to cover the Candidates Forum or the Nom ination Assembly held out in the quod Thursday. Please look for the results of these events in the nex t week's issue of the Times .)
CANDI~ATESSTATEMENTS
PRESIDENT ROBERT RAMIREZ - The reason that I decided to run for the office of president again is because I feel that the students ore now com· ing out of their holes, and they wont to get involved. I also initiated some plans that didn't get completed along with some programs which also didn't get completed . I'm not finished w ith my job, that's what I'm saying . I wont to finish, and I wish that the students would give me a chance to finish it. I do wish that there would be more students involved in the student government. I'm also going to try and get the students more aware of the problems that we are facing here on campus. HUGH LlllY - The student government presently in office at City College is totally ineffective. I think that the student government should be a student government for all students. I also think the 11 a .m . meeting time for the ASC makes it inconvenient for all stu· dents to attend. M IKE GALVAN - I ~ould like to make the general student body aware that the student government exists and that they represe·nt how the students feel on vital issues to the Board and the Adminis· t rotion. I think that all groups of students should work together in unity for the betterment of Human rights . I wou ld like to see the student government begin to do some worthwhile things and do them well.

Students~ academic free·d om ieopardized By Dave Painter Academic Freedom has been handcuffed and gagged if instructors and students in the San Jose District allow it to be. In a memo to all staff from District Chancellor. Dr. Otto Roemmich, ~~t~d . April 26, on the ~ubject _of ."Propositi.on. 13"- the Jarv~s-Gann anataatave, the Chancellor gaves Guadehnes for Dastract Employees m Con· nection with the Passage or Defeat of Prop. 13. The Guidelines include, under "Dissemination of Information," the following: "The information disseminated provides a fair representation of relevant facts in a manner which is objective, full and impartial," and, "The information disseminated does not directly or indirectly advocate the passage or defeat of the Proposition." This is in direct contrast to the Board Resolution regarding "Academic Freedom Policy," a full text of which can be found in the 1977·78 SJCC Catalogue on page 10. It reads in part, "Instructors have the right to study and investigate, interpret their findings and express conclusions based on them to their students. Because human knowledge is limited and changeable, instructors may present views that are controversial .. . " In the Policy, " . .. students have the freedom to express and defend their views, to question or differ without suffering repression or scholastic
penalty," but Dr. Roemm ich's memo states: "Student body organizations should be aware of the possible consequences upon their tax-exempt status resulting from expenditures made to urge the passage or defeat of the Proposition, and, therefore, no substantial portion of their activities shall ~ devot~ .t? such purposes." The CJ:Iancellor ~eg~ects to give an opera· taonal defanttaon of the word "substantaal" and has dtctum to students con· tradicts again, the "Academic Freedom Policy" passed by the Board of Supervisors in resolution number 3070, November 19, 1968. Of interest is the fact that the Chancellor's memo concerns only Proposition 13 ... conspicuous by their absence are the other 12 Propositions which will appear on the June 6 ballot. Presumably then, both faculty and students may put forth time and effort in advocating, or arguing against the passage of th~ . .. but not 131 At issue here is not Proposition 13 itself . . . it is the rights of both faculty and students as supported in the "Academic Freedom Policy ," This is not to mention the "Right of freedom of speech" granted to any American by the First Amendment to the Constitution. As a student I take the memo as a personal insult.

M .arriage probl·e ms By Adrienne Foster
"I haven't had this much pubHcity since Hogan's Heroes!"
Editorial.
Press freedom? Demonstrating great wisdom and foresight, the framers of the Constitution gave the people of the United States a most important privilege and a most important responsibility-freedom of the press. It is the press who serves as the "watchdog of government," and helps to guarantee the freedom of the individual and the other freedoms granted under the Constitution. And since the Founding Fathers did not add further qualifi. cations to this amendment it does include not only daily and weekly papers but college papers as well. The Times recently received a memo from the administration which seems to cast doubt on the manner in which the Times handles this privilege and responsibility. The memo states in part, "Reporting on the Proposition shall be accomplished in an objective, full and impartional manner." The proposition referred to in the memo is Proposition 13 or the Jarvis·Gann tax relief initiative which w111 appear on the June 6 ballot. The Times always attempts to report the news in an objective, full and impartial manner. The memo further states, "Any editorials expressing a point of view on the passage or defeat of the Proposition shall each contain the statement, "The College Times will print statements of opposing views from responsible sp_okespersons." This too, has been a consistent policy of the Times. Through the Viewpoint column and letters to the editor, the Times has presented a wide variety of viewpoints on a wide variety of subjects. These viewpoints have been submitted not only by Times staff members, but by other students, faculty, administration and trustees as well. However, the editorials are written by members of the editorial staff and reflect the views of the majority of the editorial staff. For the admini3tration to require the inclusion of the above-mentioned statement or any particular statement in each and every editorial would be interfering with the purpose of the editorials, and would impinge on the privileges and responsibilities of the Times under the First Amendment.

looking through a recent issue of the San Jose Mercury, I read an Ann landers column containing a letter about battered wives. The problem isn't a small one and is probably much more com· mon than most people· Lctre to think. The thing that bothers me is that it's so sexist. A lot of wives do take a lot of battering, and they do deserve more consideration than they probably are given, but how often do people think of battered husbands? One of Ms. landers' previous columns had a letter from one such man, who was wondering if it would be fair to return his wife's punches. Ann landers said doing something like the~t would only make a bad situation worse. A friend at work said he had a girlfriend that was always hitting him. Why does our society put so much emphasis on the battered women when there are men having to put up with it too? Are men able to escape this problem easier than women? Is it because men have the macho? Is it because women have the babies? It seems to me if society wants to resolve this problem (or any problem for that matter), then it should be dealing with it on the whole and not just a part. It is hard to understand to understand . why anyone would allow himself to get in such a situa· tion to begin with. Reason is very important when people try to find a resolution to such a conflict. Communication is important, too. I wonder how many of the
spouses that are being battered have good communication in their relationships? .when communication is good between two people, it isn't
A statement · made in the Times' April 7 editorial discussing the Jarvis-Gann initiative (Proposition 13) noted that the Be hr Act (SB 1) "would not put a lid on government spending."

Opinion very often that things go wrong be· tween them. There have also been cases where the spouse that beats his mate has had some kind of physical disorder. When was the last time that spouse had a check-up? In circumstances like those, something should be done promptly. An understanding spouse would have to have a lot of patience and / or tolerance to take all that beating but the waiting until the other is cured could cause a great deal of mental anguish as well as bruises. Of the percentage of marriages where violence is occurring, how many partners are actually trying to do something to eliminate that problem? There are so many programs and agencies where help is offered but how many of the peolple who need them take advan· tage of them to their full extent? They are there to do more than talk, they want to help.

- May, 1974 - The question of whether 18· year-olds should be allowed to drink or not was the main topic of the T.imes editorial page. The writers took a split view on whether of not 18-year-olds should be allow· ed to drink.
Elaine Kaspian- Parking is bad. We shou ldn't have to pay 25 cents. Also, the cafeteria food is bad. I th ink the parking should be free. And the quality of food should be better. It's amazing what you can do with food . It's basically a good school.
Roosevelt Williams- ! would like to see some change in the sports program. I'd like to see players looked at more than just once ove r. What I'm basically saying is I'd like to see players given more of a chance, especially in football.
Judy Ryan- 1 think they should have something more entertaining while students are in· between classes. I have a two hour break so I just leave because there's nothing to do. That encourages me to not come back at all.
Will Doyle- A place to park, plus make registration a little more simple. It's kind of the pits when you have to stand in line for t hree hours. I think they should do it by mail; or pre-register, whatever they can do to make it more simple.
Darlene Samuels- Instructors attitudes. I was sick with intestinal flu and my instructor wou ldn't accept my late homework because she won't break the rules.
Mark Vandenbroeke- 1 can't think of anything to change. I think it's a good school. The teachers seem to care about the needs of the students, whether they are learning or not, The teachers make the big difference.
Charmaine Van Zuylen - 1 th ink t hey should not have such greasy french fries in the cafeteria because it's bad on your stomach. He puts them in oil before it 's hot and lets them soak. He should wait until the oil is hot and then soak them.

falling all the way down to the essences and then flying out again in a rush to focus, like the first strong twinge of t ripping after an infusion of psilocybin, reaching in at the point of calm and springing all the joy and all the dread ever known, ever known by everyone who ever lived, unutterable in its speeding brilliance, touching all the edges and then passing, as though it had all been controlled from outside, by a god or by the moon." To his credit, Michael Herr is at his best when he is writing about the men and their immediate situation. One whole chapter is devoted to the seige at Khe Sanh; within this chapter I believe is some of his best prose: "Some strange things would happen. One morning at the height of the monsoons, the -sun came up brightly at dawn and shone all day. The early morning skies were ' a clean, brilliant blue, the only time · before April that anyone saw that at Khe Sanh, and instead of waking and coming out shivering from their bunkers, the grunts stripped down to t?oots, pants, and flak jackets; biceps, triceps and tattoos all out for breakfast. . .For those few hours, Khe Sanh had the atmosphere of reprieve. . .The hills did not seem like the same hills that had given off so much fear the night before and al l of the davs and nignts before that. 111 tne earlymorning light they looked sharp and tranquil, as though you could take some apples and a book and go up there for an afternoon." The era of the 60s and early 70s will no doubt become known as one of the most important transi· tional eras of American History. Herr's book should therefore be read as not only a definitive work dealing with the war (which of course it is) but also as a time ly piece of writing dealing with Ameri· can culture. Herr writes about the time he was crossing a rice paddy with a company of marines when they began taking on small arms fire. There was a mad rush for cover and as the marines began to return fire, the author spotted a young marine searching for the on/off switch of his tape-player. Amazing· ly, the fire from the M-16's was now accompanied by sou nds of the electric guitar of Jimi Hendrix. Robert Lifton in his book Home from the War, talks about the.counterfeit universe. Herr picks on the same theme: "A few extreme cases they felt the experience there had been a glorious one, while most of us felt it had been merely wonderful. I think Vietnam was what we had instead of happy childhoods." This passage is perhaps only totally understandable to those of us whose childhoods were inter· rupted by the war. However, the following passage should be understandable to ar~yone who has lived through a crisis. "He was twenty-three when I first met him, and I can remember wishing that I had known him when he was still young." Michael Herr has done a masterfull job at explaining the war to us. Hawver he only supplied the questions and cautioned us, the readers, against supplying the stan·

By Melinda Mitchell Many people are not happy with th eir career choice. However, City College ballet instructor, Ben Reyes, said, "This is the life that I really love. I like this because it's a continuous creation." Reyes began his dancing career in Manilla, in the Phil ippines, where he used to tag along to his older sister's ballet lessons. One day his sister's instructor asked him to join the class. After joining the class he found out that there was a lot more to ball et than he had previously thought. He then said to himself, "Hey.. this is not sissy stuffl" He tn()uoht of it as a challenge.

SJCC may regret tennis, soccer decision By Paul lloret Sports Editor
SAN JOSE CITY COLLEGE. When looked upon sportswise, many regard it as having a top community college athletic program. Examples track: two-time defending state champions; basketball, state tournament qualifiers; baseball , top competitors ; football, conference and Nor-Col champs two years ago; soccer? men's tennis? Is there a loss for words? This leads us to the subject in question: the decision of SJCC Athletic Director Bert Bonanno's decision to drop men's tennis and soccer from the school's athletic program (or, as stated by Bonanno, the transferring of soccer to EVC and the dropping of tennis here to be handled by EVC).
Lewis ties national marie in JOO meters
Tr·a cksters reign supreme in GGC By Paul Lloret Sports Editor Winning Golden Gate Conference Champion ships for San Jose City College's track team is mere child's ploy, as the Jaguar spikers showed why by clinching their fifth straight overall GGC crown last Friday at the GGC finals at Chabot . Wh i le gaining their fifth consecutive GGC crown, the purple and gold also qualified at least one athlete in 12 events fo~ next week's Nor-Cal trials at Delta. Once again , Ernest lewis paved the way by posting two phenomenal marks. lewis tied the national record set by Houston Mclear last year i n the 100 meter dash by clocking o 10.0 ahead of teammate W illie Jackson , who was second with d 10.3 time. This mark was legal, unlike on earlier windaided feat by lewis, ·OS the Jag sprinter was
a ided by a 4.0 m iles per hour breeze , just under the allowable 4 .476. lewis also captured the 200 meters posting a 20.8 effort into a six miles per hour wind and aided in helping the 440 yard relay team break last year's meet mark of 40.7 (set by the Jogs) by combining with Ronnie Anderson , Eugene Rachal , and Jackson to post the record-breaking 40.0 time. However, lewis wasn't the only Jaguar to set a notional mark. Andre Phillips posted a notional best of 50.9 in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles while . breaking yet another of eight meet records that fell at Chabot. High-jumper Thuriis Gibbs broke his own mark set last year by jumping 7-r to capture first place , while the mile relay squad of Phillips, Fred Harvey, Pat Holcombe and lewis

Bonanno, who cited a budget problem as the major reason for the dismissal of the two sports , explained that it was a " tough decision that I hod to make, but one that I knew would obviously leave some people unhappy."
for playoff berth
However, even though Bonanno " discussed it (the subject) with his staff (the Athletic Deportment)." the final decision (which Bonanno claimed he made) could be regretful. Even though both soccer and men's tennis have not been the more successful sports on campus, I believe that they were never really given the chance to become "successful." Bonanno explained that both sports hod to compete in the rugged Golden Gate Conference, "which has more talent," while at Evergreen both clubs will be participating in the Coast Conferenc.e , which is "more competitive." HOWEVER, IT SEEMS that the bigger bottle both. sports faced come within the boundaries of the school itself, not the GGC. Track, baseball, football , and baketball, the major sports on campus, have evolved into top competitors in not only the GGC but in the slate as well. Track had dominated the GGC, and because of this and its performances in state competition, it is notionally regarded.
What seems to have happened at SJCC, is that the sports programs have been split into two classes: rich and poor, so to speak . Soccer (which only lasted three years) and tennis were poor; therefore, they were terminated . What will go next? It's sad to see these sports go to Evergreen. Bonanno commented that players in the district "can sti ll participate because there is o place to play." However, for many of the players, switching schools is, besides more of an inconvenience for some, more of o disability for others. SJCC does offer more in the terms of "choice for edu cation ," because it has more facilities than Evergreen does. Besides, why should a tennis or soccer player hove to change schools to ploy? THE DROPPING OF the two sports seems even more "sceptical" when one looks at the growing popularity of the two. They ore, perhaps, the top two growing sports in the country - yet what has SJCC done to " promote" them? Well, the school ·is building more tennis courts (and roquetball courts, both due to a federal grant) . It seems comica l that this should be done when one tennis team is leaving. It even seems more ridiCulous when looking at the excellent facilities that both teams are leaving behind.
If money was the major problem in dismissi ng both sports , why couldn't money be extracted from other areas of the athletic deportme nt. In fact who ordered the r equesf to paint the stadium's pressbox gold with purple and gold lettering showing "Son Jose City College." Where did the money come from? I'm sure that this could have been spared for the sake of both the men's tennis and soccer t eams. Bonanno commented that EVC has clamored f or a soccer team and has got to start an athle tic program sooner or late r. But does it hove to start a program at SJCC's expense? In the future , when EVC grows, expands, and b ui lds its sports facilities, w ill otl of SJCC's sports " pock up and leave" because of budget problems? This move could turn out to b e the best thing to happen to EVC sports. After all , if there is a budget problem now, there is going to be one later with the ever-increasing inflation of the dollar. If there is not e noug h money to support sports in each school , then o ne school will hove to suffer - and SJCC is not the younger of the two schoo ls.

Naturally, this is the case when one makes a decision of this nature. Sports is a major activity in Son Jose City College's curriculum, and, of course, SJCC is one of the best community college sports schools in the state.
Port of the reason for the success of these clubs is recruiting. Much of the track and basketball talent in recent years has been recruited from out of the state. Compare this with soccer and men's tennis, where little, if any, recruiting is done from the area.

Marshall sets record at ·
Nor-Cal meet Jim Marshall , a sophomore out of l eland High , clocked a 21.230 in the 50 yard freestyle to set a meet record in the Nor-Cal Community College Swimming and Diving Championships last Satur day at Solano College in Suisun City. Marshall also added a victory in the 100 free to help Son Jose City College post a surprising fourth place fini sh among the top t eams in the northern halt of the state. The Jaguar tanker wa s timed at 47.00 in the 100. Diablo Volley captured the meet with 426 points, 214 ahead of runner-up West Volley , who claimed 212 points. Modesto nabbed 202 poin ts for third , while SJCC tallied 163 to gain fourth place. DVC's Paul Lohmann also broke o meet record in the 200 meter back stroke , as the Viking clocked o 1:58.41. He also nabbed a victory in the 200 IM with a 2:01 .234 time. DVC, who cLaimed eight events, including both team races , also saw their women's squad claim the Nor-Cal title with an impressive performance. AQUA NOTES: The swimming season comes to a close this w eek as East los Angeles College hosts the state meet. The meet, which started on Thursday , last through Saturday.
" W ild " may be just the word that best describes the Golden Gate Conference Baseball loop. After losing three of four games lost week , the Son Jo se City College baseball squad was deep in trouble, only a gam e away from losing a playoff spot. But a week later ... Well, a week later, the Jaguars a re still a game ahead of the Owls -- but barely . The SJCC squad had a chance to clinch luru:c•ca.•nr o playoff berth lost Tuesday; however, Foothill had other ideas in handing the Jags a 3-2, 10-inning loss at los Altos. With the win , the Owls remai ned a game behind the Jaguars, who dropped to 16-9. Foothill is now 15-10 with two games ,....._ __ remaining for both clubs . Henry Torres limited the purple and gold to just six hits in out-dueling Jaguar ace Mike Couchee, who scattered seven hits. Both pitchers went the distance. Owls Stan Jones and Brion luckner, both freshman, each stroked two hits to provide Foothill with their offensive spark, while Mike Benedetti and Rick Dominguez hod two hits apiece for the Jogs. , The Jaguars have one game remaining on their slate bef ore GGC playoff action begins next week . SJCC had played Diablo Volley on Thursday; however, due to press deadlines results were not available. Son Mateo still leads. the conference after o 16-7 rout of West Volley last Tuesday. The defending conference champs are now 19-6, o game ahead of both Chabot and laney. On Thursday April 27, th.e Jogs broke their losing skid with a 17-1 massacre of the Dons at De Anza . Alan Hatley allowed the Cupertino club just four hits to past his fourth victory of the year against three losses while being backed up by a 12 hit Jaguar attack spearheaded by M ike Benedetti's three hits and two RBI's. Wes Mitchell and Rick Dominguez each be lted in three runs, while Don Deatherage and Roger Scala each hod two RBI's. Last Saturday, the Jags clobbered San Francisco, 7-3, once again being paced by a 12 hit attack led by Scala's four hits which included a homer (his third of the year), double, and two si ngles.
Golf year end s abrUptl y Son Jose City College's golf seas~n ended abruptly lost Mon-
day at the Golden Gate Conference tournament at the Ridgemork, Country Club in Hollister as the Jaguar divottakers failed to qulify for Monday's Northern California tournament at the Pine Mountain Golf ·Course in Sonora. It was o disappointing end to on exceptional SJCC golf year, as the purple and gold finished
their year at 22-4. However, o lone light pierced the gloom during the course of the day, as sophomore Shawn · McEntee garnered sixth p lace in . earning a berth to complete individually in the Nor-Cols . McEntee, who shot a 152 for the day, also earned a berth to the GGC All -conference squad due to his performance that day. Canada, the regular season GGC chomp, won the tourna-
ment and will advance to the Nor -Col tourney with San Mateo, who claimed secondplace honors. Coach Harley Dow e xplained that the tourney's outcome was "o letdown after an awfully good season ," but that he is also "looking forward to next year," as five sophomores return. Jim Evans of Canada shot a 148 to claim medalist honors in bsclci•~tic>n leodin~ the Colts
Foothill lifts softballers out of GGC cellar It was a battle of the cellar dwellers, as the Jaguar softball team faced off against Foothill College at San Jose City College last w eek. · The result was a 16-4 dumping of the Owls, as the Jags levied a 16 hit barrage, five going f or ext ra bases, including two doubles, two t riples, and the big blow, a two run homer by Brigette Edwards that put SJCC ahead of the O wls to stay at 4-3. With Foothill leading 3-2 in the third inning, Jog third baseman, C.J. Rivero, lined a single t o left field . That set the scene for Edwards' round tripper, as she belted the boll deep into left field for two RBI's. After that, the Jaguars never looked bock, scoring three runs in the fourth inning, three runs in the fifth , and six more in the six th to put the icing on the cak e . Jag uar pi tcher Shari Sakoda pit ched a superb game, scattering five hits and holding the Owls to f o ur r uns, three in the first two innings and one in the seventh .
