By Gary Satre The San Jose Community ColDistrict faces possible cl osure mass layoffs if Proposition 13, Jarvis-Gann Initiative, passes 6, Chancellor Dr. Otto Roemch said. " I'm convinced that if Jarvlspasses, if the state does not through to replace the subial amount of money that we d lose) . . . I think it would closing down the whole ion," he said.

Reductions of programs and seras well as personnel would occur, he added. "So unless eliminate people, you haven't a dent in reducing expendi11 Roemmich said. ighty per cent of the District's million operating budget goes personnel costs. Based on a that was ordered by Dr. ich and prepared by the Business Office, the district lose $17.5 mill ion if propo13 passes, provided Santa County continues to d istrischool funds the same way it now.

The district, already suffering unrelated budget cutbacks, elimi nated three administrative 12 classified positions at City ege alone.

While Dr. Roemmich feels the would not abandon the s financially, the California Education Associat ion is not sure. In its March 22 flyer the ation warned: ."Don't count t he legislature passing any huge increases to offset Jarvis-Gann. just won't happen."

Dr. Roemmich said that the Behr Tax Relief Bill (Senate 1) and Prop. 8, "would be as for us (the district) as t he way now." The bill provides

for a 30 per cent reduction in property taxes and provides for renters too.

Supports of Prop. 13 argue that the State Constitution virtually guarantees a school system will operate in California, by placing top priority on funds raised through taxes.

"It (the Constitution) doesn't say to what extent they (the state) have to support (the schools)," the chancellor countered. He added, " ... I don't believe they'll have enough money to support at of the (schools). In other words, they'll be a loss of revenue of $7.5 to $8 billion.

New Games: just for the fun of it It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.

That is the golden rule that everyone who plays in the New Games must observe.

Jeff Frisby, a San Jose City College student, recently introduced New Games, to students on cam· pus. Those who joined in were soon enjoying some of the games they may have played as children.

They included the Lap Game, Bone Game and People Pass.

Frisby rounded up some equipment and. proceeded to gather people together to enjoy games just for the sake of playing them disregarding competition. He was also going to see how well he could coor:dinate these activities since he was doing this as part of a psycho· logy project.

Roemmich believes Community Colleges could beat the end of the money pecking order.

According to Dr. Roemmich, no contingency plans have been made at this t ime. Forming an ad hoc committee in the event Prop.

13 passes, Dr. Roemmich stated that he and the committee had agreed to be "absolutely confidential" during its deliberat ions.

"If we let people know what we're talking about, I think people will get upset, because if JarvisGann passes, I have to have a plan to present to the Board (ofTrustees), and there will be some pretty revolutionary things in that plan," Roemmich said.

New Games was conceived by Stewart Brand, publisher of "Whole Earth Catalog," and ·George Leonard, author of "The Ultimate Ath· tete. " Brand was inspired to create these games as a result of his feelings that the Vietnam War, and combat specifically, was being pushed to the limits. He wanted people to understand the activity and to experience the source of it within themselves.

Similarly, Leonard was interested in the nature of sports and play and in the aspects of human potential other than competitive.

After exchanging ideas with . others also seeking alternatives to traditional sports, they presented their new games at the opening of a sports center in 1973. The success of these games prompted the staging of the first New Games Tournament in San Francisco in 1973.

The concept of these games was soon picked up by park and recreation departments and later in lower income communities where public recreation programs were non-existent.

After a second New Games Tournament was held a year later and was successful in getting people of different cultures to interact, it became known as a foundation.

Requests came for training programs in recreation departments, physical education programs and for community centers.

As a result, New Games sprang up all over the country and in a few foreign countries, too.

For those who may be interested in participating in some of these New Games, Frisby said that they will be presented on campus again next semester.

Profile: Norton History instructor Garth Norton studied in Africa, held G O.P offic·e

By Joan Ward Garth Norton was reluctant about being interviewed because he said, "history . teachers don't make interest ing reading." .

And perhaps some history • teachers don't make interesting reading but Garth Norton is certainly not one of them . For in addition to teaching history, Norton has traveled and worked in places where history has been made and continues to be made.

Norton has taught history for 28 years but duri ng that time he managed to hold political office; 1serve as a legislative analyst for a United States Senator; do graduate work at Cambridge University and the University of London and make four trips to Africa.

Norton has also done graduate work at the University of Nairobi in K'enya, the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and at Haile Salassie I University in Ethiopia.

According to Norton, "It is really something to have been in a lot of those towns where the Ethiopian and Somalian war has been going on."

Norton stated he has become fascinated and extremely concerned about developing countries.

He said, "The matter of how they develop their resources and what kind of political and economic systems they develop are really quite significant to the United States."

Norton also said, "more and more developing countries realize they have a ~ommodity or series of commodities that are much in demand . And they are getting together- such as the OPEC countries have- in order to get as much as they can for their resources. " "They could cause prices to go up in this country and we have to be very careful how we deal with these countries," he added.

During one trip to Africa, Norton visited the fortified castles along the West African Coast where slaves were held until the slave traders came. Norton said, " It is a very moving experience to go into a place such as Cape Coast

Garth Norton Castle and see the dungeons in which people were imprisoned be· fore they were shipped to t he new world as slaves."

The trim, sandy-haired inst ruc· tor.. who 9rew up on a farm in the San Joaquin Valley, has also been involved in politics. Norton served two terms on the Republican Cen· tral Committee and in 1965, work· ed as a legislative analyst in t hE Washington office of Senato1 Thomas Kuchel. He also workec on the political campaign of Nelso r Rockefeller in California and servef ,as county ch1irman in Senator Kuchel's political campaigns.

Norton, who also rode in rodeos and p layed a trumpet in a dance band before becoming a social science instr1:1ctor, has given up politics now and devotes his spare time to documentary photography, repairing his English car and growing over 80 different varieties of ca· mellias at his home in the foothills.

Norton and his wife Fran, who is an elementary school principal, are theatre buffs and are expecially interestE:d in the California Actors Theatre in Los Gatos.

Norton is also President of a small corporation called " Fund fo the Advancement of Education," The purpose of the fund is to pro· vide consulting services for teachers who need help and can't get it from the teacher's unions or other large organiza1t1ons

Churches op posed refo rm (Edito r's note : This is part one of a two-part series on the orig in of Cinco de Mayo by Alexandrine Esparza, Language Arts Instructor.)

By Alexandrina Esparza Language Arts Instructo r By 1861, Mexico's treasury . stood empty. Benito Juarez, president of Mexico, had arrived in Mexico City to participate at a victory celebration. The liberal Army had defeated the conservative forces whose leaders had gone into hiding. Liberal leaders Juarez and Mechor had rebelled against General Santa Anna's government, and had successfully turned back

the government forces in 1855.

The principal aim of the new liberal government was to renovate Mexican society. In order to ·do this, the power of the church would be minimized by reducing its excessive wealth . A constitution, written by Juarez, was adopt· ed in 1857. Under this constitution, the special legal privileges of the clergy were abolished, freedom of religion was guaranteed, and church lands were to be expropriated and 1 sold to the public. Public officials were to screen allegiance and obedience to this new constitution or lose their office. The church retaliated by excommunicating all

those officials who swore to uphold the Constitution. In addition, any person who bought church. la~ds .or accepted the new co~stlt Utlon . could not come to confession or receive the sacraments.

Ignacio Comonfert was elected President and Benito J uarez was named chief justice of the Supreme Court since the chief justice as· sumed the presidency in the event that the president was unable to finish his term of office. When the conservative forces rebelled against Comonfert's government and seized Mexico City, President Comonfert went into exile to th~ United States.

Juarez, therefore, assumed the pres-

idency of Mexico and was forcec~ t 0 conduct business from variousciti!$ fina lly declaring the liberal 90vern: ment from the seaport of Veracruz.

The war of reform had the church and the large !andowners fighting against the m1d~l e class, the mestigos, and the lnd1ans. The church used its best gene_rals against the liberals and stnpped the churches of their wealth to finance the conservative cause. Both sides had difficulties financing the war and resented the exceptional measures to finance their armies.

Editorial

A-chance to share The process of education at a community college i_ncludes a great deal of time spent in the classroom as well as t1me spent preparing for the classroom experience.

But there is also a side of t he educational process that goes beyond the normal everyday classroom structure.

This area of education comes under the category of cultural events a chance to relate to the great mixture of people that make 'up the community. It is an opportunity to bec<?me involved with ethnic groups, minority groups and different cultures.

Each year at San Jose City College different cultures share their heritages with all people on campus. Students are exposed to the history of a race of people, their food, their customs and costumes. Students have a chance to see where the pride in a group of people as well as their heritage and traditions originates.

Recently the college was t he scene of a week long· event which was a celebration of Cinco de Mayo, an important day in the history of the Chicano community. These people make up a large percentage of California's population. We had a chance to interact and understand the hardships of a proud people, to enjoy their blend of culture and relate to a group of people as true Americans.

Next week will be American Indian Week and the studentS' of the college will once again have the chance to relate to a dif- · ferent culture. Students will have an opportunity to experience the history, traditions and the long road of hardships th~t _have shaped the Indian culture. There will be a chance to part1':1~ate and appreciate the colorful arts, and customs of the ongmal American.

The Times would like to encourage all students of the college as well as the faculty and people from the community college district to participate in the various cultural events offered at the school.

These types of activities are but one of the many way~ that students can receive an education and have exposure to Chmese, Vietnamese Jews Mexicans, Indians, Africans and all other races that ~re a p~rt of California and San Jose City College.

The human family takes in everyone around the world, and to have the opportunity to share experiences, feelings and the reasons for living is perhaps one of the greatest types of education to be gained from the community college experience.

I'd like to propose that the "Future Think Club" change its name' to the "Ostrich Club." Yes, that flightless bird that has an annoying habit of burying its head in the sand when faced with ·a conflict.

What prompts this bit of absurdity? The fact that in last week's Times, in an article reporti ng the efforts of a student group protesting the choice of the Governor of Nevada as thP. graduation speaker, for his states' refusal to ratify che Equa l Rights Amendment, it is stated that "The club does not support the Ad Hoc Student Protest Committee, but allowed them to use the address only as a convenience for receiving mail." How generous of them.

October, 1965Six San Jose City College coeds aided Civitan, a men's service organi· zation, in selling fruitcakes to raise funds for the purchase of shoes for underprivileged children: April, 1967....: Cit y College Times made a tape of the newspaper to be availabl e to blind students on campus.

May, 1971 Cosmetology students participated in the 11th Annual San Jose City College Hair Styling Contest that was held in the Stude nt Union.

Now I'll explain . It seems to me that what a club chooses to call itself is an indication of what the group hopes to do as a club. When I use that and ex· amine "Future Think Club," I come up with a group of people who are taking a look at (among other things I hope) present trends in society and their efforts in our society of the future.

I doubt that many people would disagree if I call the movement for Equal Rights for women a trend in society, if not an important positive step in correct· ing many years of injustice to over half this country's population. Then why has our "Future Think Club" chosen not to support this action? Alas, I fear they would rather run away and, like the ostrich bury their heads.

Steve Elwood: Why not? He did it, he might as well. He put his labors into it, he might as well profit from it.

The dance costs $1 , $1 .50 and $2.50 general ad· mission and will be held in the City College theatre.

The repertoire for the evening includes mostly student choreographed dances. Some of these dances are "Don't Rain on My Parade," a tap dance by Deb· bie Rocha, "On Broadway," a contemporary jazz piece by Charlene Green and a folk dance from another planet by Lloyd Wainwaiole.

Instructors Jimmylee Kester and Susan Wilenken will also dance some pieces. Kester will dance "Hum· bug," a dance about insect personalities and the "Red Duet."

" I think that the ideas are very original and wonderful of the student choreographers ," said Kester. She added, "I think some o! them are more incredibly wonderful tn-an experLenced peoples."

Kester said that the students are ueginning to realize the work that it takes to produce the show.

She also said that it takes about 50 hours of practice and work for every ,;ninute of dance performed.

The student choreographers are in charge of every· thing connected to their dance and have total ar· tistic control, she said .

Kester is hopeful about the dance wh ich has a whole semester of work put into it.

Ticket prices are $12.50, $9.50 and $7.50.

Holbrook's characterization of Mark Twain has received rave re· views around the world and has won both the Tony Award and a New York Drama Critics Circle Special Citation. The "The New Times" called him, "The nation's ,one true com ic genius!" The "World Telegram" noted the "The humor is priceless, the philosophy fresh and the personality captivating."

From his first solo appearance as Twain in 1954, Holbrook has toured with the show for some part of every year since then . He adds to Twain's material every year, editing and changing it to fit the times.

In molding his character, Holbrook gained knowledge of Twain through an intensely researched study of Samuel Clemens.

There were interviews with sur· viving relatives and friends , newspaper reviews, visits to Hannibal, his celebrated hometown ; and the total absorbtion of his writings.

The transition from Holbrook to Twain is roughly a four hour make-up and costume change.

By Paul Lloret Sports Editor Jn what may-be a preview of this monthfiste track and field meet, San Jose City College bl ' zed the junior college division of last week's Wes oast Relays at Fresno.

The hero making the headlines in the )'.C. competition was Jaguar high-jumper Thurlis -Gibbs, who set a junior college high jump national record of 7-3 ~. erasing the previous mark of 7-3 set by Kyle Arney of Glendale, Ariz. in 1976.

Gibbs, who was named JC athlete of the meet explained of his mark, "I'm capable of jumping at least 7-5, I could be the best."

However, his Ratcliffe Stadium (where the relays were held) mark didn't last long, as Tom Woods of the Pacific Coast Club won the open high jump at 7-5, later in the same evening, to set a new meet and

stadium mark.

SJCC's sprint squads also impressed during the course of the day, as the 800 meter relay, 400 meter relay, and 1600 meter relay squads all posted wi nning times.

Ronnie Anderson, Ernest Lewis, Willie Jackso n and Euqgen Rachal combined to clock a winn ing t ime of 40.23 in the 400 meter relays, while Rachal, Pat Holcombe, Andre Phillips and Fred Harvey tea med up to win the 1600 meter relay with a victorious 3 : 10.29.

The biggest controversy of the afternoon occurred after the running of the 800 meter relay which was found to be inaccurately measured between 800 meters and 880 yards. The outcome of the event caused SJCC's winning 1 :23.96 to be categaorized at 800 meters since the distance of the race was three yards short of 880 yards.

Dwayne Green, Lewis, Jackson and Rachal t eamed

up fo r t he winning 800 meter mark, which may be regarded as a nation JC best.

Individually , Phillips captured the 440 yard hur· dies with a t ime of 50.75, while finishing in second in the 110 h igh hurdles with a 14.57 time. Jackson claim ed fourt h place honors in the 100 meters at 10.60.

The meet, which featured the top high school and junior college talent in the state also showcased 11 open event s.

Four of those open events saw meet standards broken. Ken Stake! of the San Jose Stars won the discus th row with a toss of 216-9, eclipsing the old mark of 213-4 set by John Powell. Rich Greybehl , of USC won the 400 meter intermediate hurdles in 49 .84 to erase Ron Whitney's 50.1 marksetin 1967. , Scott Neilson won the hammer throw with a recordsetting 235-4 mark, while Phil Olse~ of Tennessee won the javelin with a new record of 280-3.

In other JC competition, Ruth Kleinsasser Cald· well of Citrus College set a new national juco mark . of 2:03.9 in the women's 800 meters.

The Jaguars captured the team title m the ~C ranks by scoring 54 points. Pasadena was second With 40 and Alameda and Laney finish ed third and fourth with 34 and 23 points respectively.

( Spri ng scor ebo ard ) WOME N'S SOFTBALL The San jose City College Jaguar softball team went out of the season the same way the they came in-losing.

The Jags played Canada in Redwood City last week and came up losing again, 14-7 to end their season at a dismal 2-14 record.

Don't let the 14-7 score deceive you. It was a close game until the sixth inning when Canada scored six runs to break a 7-7 tie.

With Canada leading the Jaguars 7-3 in the fifth inning, three successive walks to J ulie Moley, Shari Sakoda and Shannon O'Rourke, brouglit up Jag shortstop Juanita Kennedywho belted a double t o bring in two runs. Hot swinging Brigette Ed· wards then came up and singled to left field getting two R Bl 's to tie up the game.

Thh 7-7 t ie didn't last long, as Jag pitcher Shari Sakoda walk· ed a total of seven batters and gave up six runs in the sixth inning, all of them unearned, to give Canada a 13-7 lead . They later scored one more run for insurance to make up the final score.

SWIMMING San Jose City College's swim squad ended their season on a respectable note by posting a 12th place finish in last week's state swimming and diving championship s which were held at East Los Angeles College.

The Jags were led by Jim Marshall, who clocked a 46.00 in the 100 free to finish second to Pasadena's Marks who tied a national junior college record with a 45.25 in capturing the event. Marks now shares the record with Diablo Valley's Tom White, who set the record in 1976.

Marshall, whc on May 29 set a Nor-Cal standard in the 50 yard freestyle with a 21.23 clocking also finished fourth in the 50 free with a 21 .08 time.

WAIT ING FOR THE KI LL- In a confron tation of shortstops, San Jose City , College's T pdd Davis waits for San Mateo's Bo b Woodcock at seco nd base as the Bulldog attempted to steal second in recent baseball action.

Woodcock's attempt to steal second was in vain as Davis easily applied the tag to knock the CSM runner off the basepaths. The Jags were schedul ed to face the ' Dogs in the fi rst rou nd o f the GGC playoffs last Thursday.

Jag mit tme n fac e pla yoff te st San Jose City College's baseball squad took its first st ep toward a possible Golden Gate Conference crown when they t raveled to San Mateo to face the leaguewinning San Mateo Bulldogs in the

first round of th e Golden Gate Con· terence pl ayoffs last Thursday.

(Note: Due to press dead lines, results were not available for this import ant contest. However, there will be details in next week's edi-

with a 21 -6 ledger.

Going into the playoffs, the Jaguars ·c aptu red the season series from the 'Dogs by claiming th e final two games after an o pening day loss to CSM. Losing 12-4 in the o pener, Jaguar pitcher Mike Couchee tossed a five-hitter in leading the purple and gold to a 2-1 victory at CSM in late March . The Jags then defeated CSM- on April 18, 8-4 to win the season series t wo games to one.

Once again Mike Couchee tamed the 'Dogs, allowing just six hits.

The two seri es wins may prove to be a big lift for the Jags, who, after a blazing 12·3·1 record in mid· April, fell to J,l-10 by losing 7 of their last 12 cont est. The p robable starter was Couchee, w ho is the only Jaguar pitcher who started agai nst the ' Dogs this year, handi ng the CSM club two of their six losses during the regular season.

While CSM and SJCC battled, Laney and Chabot were scheduled to ' play as we ll.

The Jaguar mittmen captured t heir playoff berth wit h a 14.() wh itewash of-West Vall ey last Sat urday , t o fin ish their year at 17-10 in GGC play.

The J ags assaulted West Vall ey with 14 hits and were aided by si x Viking errors. Alan Hatley picked up h is fifth win of the y ear against three losses, while Mike Benedetti and Roger Scala led the attack with th ree and t wo hits respect ively.

Trials at Delta are from left to right : discus-th rower Kevin Goode, shot-putter Bill Traughber and javelin· t h rower Doug Hart. All t h ree have excellent chances of qualifying for next Friday's Nor-Cal Finals at SJCC.

"They (the sprinters) deserve what they get, but we deserve just as much, because we work just as hard, or harder, than the sprinters do ." Traughber added, " We work harder b ecause we aren't born with our t alent; we have to work for it .

It would be impossible for me to go out and be a sprinter, no matter how hard I worked, but if a sprinter worked at it hard enough, it is poss ible that he could throw the shot or disc."
