Energy sQvings achieved at City College ca mpus By Melinda Mitchell

Pacific, Gas and Electric Co. has lowered some of San Jose City College's gas and electricit y rates as a direct result of the energy saving programs at City College. " P G & E recognized that we are very frugal in saving energy," said Bob Brydon, district superof construction and mainten· nee at City College.

This boiler will heat water which will go through pipes to all the permanent buildings on campus. According.y , the elimination of in· dividual boilers in the rooms will require less maintenance.

However, Evergreen has only one pilot light and was built to conserve energy. He also said that Evergreen has an automatic energy con· troller. The computer monitors all the heating and lighting systems and turns everything off and on. The only obstacle to the entire energy conservation program are "money and personnel cooperation," said Brydon. He was referring to the lack of cooperation of the instructors, in turning off the lights in their classrooms .

Ca feteria problem commOn By Keith Hodgin One of the things City College has in common with other area communty colleges is student complaints concerning the high prices and low quality of food provided on campus. Representatives from Foothill and West Valley colleges stated that students on both campuses had ex· pressed complaints concerning their cafeterie~s.
Complaints such as these led to the recent boycott of Guckenheimers by the Associated Student Council. Guckenheimers is the vendor that supplies the food for the cafeteria, which is located in the student union. According to Warren Newfield, manager of Guckenheimers, the problem of customer complaints has been solved by opening a better channel of communications be· tween Guckenheimers and the Student Council. Newfield took over management two weeks before the boycott was made public, and said that changes were already in motion when the boycott was initiated. He also said the complaints were valid but it took too long for the stud~nts to communicate their problems to him . The student council had two weekly meetings with Guckenheimers nd after the second one decided to ' lift the boycott. The boycott lasted from March 9 to April 4 . Armand said they decided to lift the boycott because Guckenheim· ers appeared to be trying to improve. Louise Tuite, a sales representa· tive from Guckenheimers, said that if the contract goes up for bid, Guckenheimers will not participate in the b idding. Jeff Kimball, West Valley studetn and student counc1·1 mem b er, said students there have liked the · quality of food, b ut t h at t h e pnces

tudent card comp,a ny expresses emotions By D1vid C. Brown
There are those days of ~he year onlY the right greetmg card say how you feel. As a result spend hours looking at r?ws rows of greeting cards not fmdthe one that exactly _expresses true feelings .

They two talked about various ways could express their talents perhaps make some money at
the same time. I hey finally decided that they should try to create cards that would convey a "madeforyou," impression . . Neither woman was sure qu1te how to go about tl)e job but as they looked at Pogue's photographs the messages began to flow. Work· in!l on a shoestring budqet and
always with their two children "our assistants," underfoot the company began . They found in the long run that a small budget and children were not the real handicaps but rather their inexperience in the field of graphics that hindered them ~he most. Their first attempt at takmg copy to a printer found t~em lo?k· ing for a class in graph1c des1gn so that they could learn layout, and what was meant by camera
tp]Pt ready copy. Pague says that she has found that her talents in talking with people and asking questions as well as organizing have paid off well. Coupling this with Schumake's knowledge of words and what they both learned in the graphics class the women soon had their first order of Christmas cards printed. Now they had to learn the techniques of marketing. One of the first thi.ngs they learned was that stores that carry cards order them six months in advance of the season the cards would be needed for. However they were able to sell a number of orders to friends and relatives. Since that leeble beginning the women have created cards for Mothers Day, Father's Day, as well as note cards, stationary, flyers and some campaign items. Their biggest order was for 250 cards for a mortuary . "Through all of this it never occured to us that our cards might
not sell," says Schumake. ''We had taken a substantial number of orders but by no means enough to exhaust our supply," she added. Pogue said that their cards are good but not flowery, they get to the pOint. She adds that they are trying to stay away from the word love because it has lost its meaning. Rather they are trying to express the emotions of love and caring. "I like love, but the meaning has been screwed up," adds Pogue.

Protest halts talk Nevada Gov. Mike O'Callaghan was invited to give the commenceme nt address at City College on May 31, but because of the protest of a few feminist students, graduates will be denied the privilege of hearing the governor speak. A group of students calling themselves the Ad-Hoc Student Protest Committe e, threatene d to stage rallies and demonstra tions protesting the governor's appearanc e because Nevada has not ratified the Equal Rights Amendme nt. While there is no denying the need for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendme nt, disrupting graduatio n ceremonie s at City College is not likely to send the Nevada legislature rushing to ratify the amendme nt, but would only spoil a special day for students who have worked long and hard for their A.A. degrees. In addition, the Committe e is protesting against the wrong , person because Gov. O'Callaghan is in favor of ERA and has emphasized this fact in both his 1975 and 1977 State of the State addresses to the Nevada Legislature. During his administration, Gov. O'Callaghan has appointed women to head the Departme nts of Commerc e and General Services and has more than doubled the number of women serving on State boards and commissions in Nevada. If the Ad-Hoc Protest Committe e really wants to protest the non-ratifi cation of ERA, it should choose a more appropriate time and place and a more appropria te person to whom they can present their views. The Times suggests they contact the members of the Nevada State Legislature who failed to vote for the amendme nt. And in the future, the administr ation and graduatio n committee should make ev£lry effort to invite speakers who are approved by the graduating class.

It's too late to register to vote in the June 6 Primary election, but it's not too late to study the issues and cast your vote. I know you've heard this before. However, all of us need to be reminded of our responsibili ties as. . citizens of one the few rations left which allow us to participate in the political process. Perhaps what you haven't heard, and what I would like to share with you now, is a short philosophy on voting. Let's take an issue such as Prop. 13. I happen to be opposed to the Jarvis-Gann Initiative. That is my opinion which I will transform into a vote come election day. Perhaps you're for the measure. Fine, I respect your viewpoint and hope that you follow my example at the polls. Now, if I vote and you didn 't ,
you make it easier for me to get my way. My way, might just be the wrong way. I don't think that I am but you might think so. Again, I respect your viewpoint and would expect you to make it harder for me to get my way by matching your vote with mine. Now with things even, I need twice as many votes to defeat Prop. 13; one to match yours, and the other to put me ahead. Don't call your one vote insignificant. One president of the United States r:nissed being impeached by just one vote. I urge you to vote. If you're reg· istered, there is no excuse to not vote, either in person or by absentee ballot . If you're not registered, do so right away. November's General Election may seem far off now. Time does have a nasty habit of sneaking up on us.

Here is a final look at some of the news events in San Jose City College history. October, 1973 • In her viewpoint to the Times, Charlotte Stoneburg expressed the need of a new day care facility on campus in place of the cooperated center that required the student-par ent to aid the nursery school teachers. November, 1973 • Two years ago on this date San Jose City College students protested the quarter admission into the parking lots on campus. • San Jose City College President Dr. Theodore Murguia sent memos to all school personnel

great odds. By 1865, Napoleon 1II had to admit that the Mexican venture was placing an enormous drain on the treasury and was ·taking a great toll of French army personnel. Acknowled ging that he had followed a costly, foolish and disastrous policy in Mexico, Napoleon ordered the evacuation of French troops from Mexico. The venture would end finally in Ouretaro at the Cerro de las Campanas, with the execution of the puppet emperor Maximillian and two of his generals. The observance of Cinco de Mayo serves as a reminder that the Mexican people have fought against overwhelm ing odds in the past and have emerged victorious. It is a reminder to us Chicanos that unity, determinati on and the willingness to fight are still needed at all levels today.

Fut ure Thi nk den ies rol e -

By Debbie St. Amand As president of the Future Think Club, I feel I cannot allow Dennis Wade's viewpo int, t itled " 'Future' is buried in the sand," to go unanswered . Dennis is misinformed and in need of some straightenin g out. To do this I'll start at the very beginning . Two members of the Future Think Club are (were) heading the Ad Hoc Student Protest Committee. They were protesting having the governor of Nevada (a state which has not ratif ied the ERA) speak at the graduation exercises. So far so good . Future Think was not involved at this point. Both women just happened to be members of the club. These two women spoke to our adv isor and asked if they could us~ Future Think's address as a convenienc e. They were writing a letter and needed an address for the answer. Our advisor agr~ed . The rest of the club still had no idea what was going on. We found out after the letter had been sent and after it was too late for any real action for or against what happened. That same day we discussed what had been going on and felt some kind of action was necessary. The letter, although not stating any involvemen t on our part, implied our support by the use of our name and address. During the meet ing we felt it necessary to draft a letter stating that officially Future Think does not support t he Ad f-!oc Protest Committe, but allowed them to use the address only as a convenienc e . Some members so support their actions . Somehow, Dennis forgot to add that part. Our letter only reaffirmed what we had been asked originallynot for support but for a mail drop. I find it hard to understand why we are being condemned to the sand for going along with what they originally asked for . If they wanted our support t hey should have asked for it and not just our address. As to the rest of your letter, do you infer that each time a group decides they are setting trends in society that we are to whole-hear tedly support them ? In this matter, the

Equal Rights Amendmen t was never an issue. What was t he issue was that we were taken advantage of and used by a group without our knowledge or consent. If our head appears close to the ground it's only because we have an ear open to what's happening on campus. Future Think has been one of the most a.::tive groups on campus. Look at the volume of speakers we've sponsored. We average about nine or 10 a week. This semester we sponsored an Easter party for the children in the center. Somehow it was left out of the story that Future Think put on and ran the party . We also put on a New Games day-again the Times also neglected to men· tion us in their article . If Future Think has its heijd in the sand then the rest of the campus has-not' even ~- ,~ made it that far yet.
1Mailba91 Editor : We, the San Jose City College women's swim team, protest the lack of publicity of women 's sports in the City College Times. It is a form of blatant discriminat ion. It is about time that women receive equal recognition for the efforts in their spOrts. We hope to see a change in the issues to come. Women's Swim Team Editor: As a member of the Future Think Club, I must respond to Dennis Wade's Viewpoint, " ' Future' is buried in the sand." The members of the Ad Hoc Student Protest Committe presented the informa· tion to the club after the letter was sent protesting the governor of Nevada as a guest speaker. No, Future Think would not "rather run away, and like the ostrich bury (our) heads." Further, we will not allow a group to use us without our knowledge and consent. This is not a case of Future Think versus ERA, but rather Future Think versus several peo~le using others. Ted Oswald Future Think member

The clown's funny gestures distract us from the wait for faces to crack. Waiting for the face to split, wide open, and finally spew forth figures of heads, bur with such a rush that they are as incomprehensible as the juggler's concentration is impenetrable. The watch continues. Hands, even with thumbs, cannot grasp the meaning behind lifeless faces. The clown gestures to me but I do not reply. I am frightened by eyes that wear no cosmetics. The clown is animated by memory, while I am stiff by design. K. Marselle Vaughn
Morning awakening and the body enswathed in, fofl.. , . My friend Apollo still sleeping, ,, . his absence a sad affair. Opaque sky of myriad cher,Y blossoms but the light of chariot-lamps beams from far away. Slowly may he open his sleep-encrusted eyes and Imine to behold his radiant Joy. His light creates a widespreading pathway through the sky, Here come the effulgent chariot-beams of Joy! Lantern-Love disintegrates the dense fog. Angelic gold blesses the eyes of us all as He opens up the sky with piercing rays. Emerald lawns smile and Eucalyptus trees stir. Eyes of many faces smile. Wonderfully resplendent ball beaming in his High Sierra, my friend at the Peak of Joy radiating outward in Love to all. Richard High
.
IMAGINATION The child full of wondrous thoughts And feelings of great awe. The imagination the adult does fear The child tends to explore. The lying lizards become dinosaurs, Breathing foul with fire, Lurking, panting patiently To attack and then retire. He eyes the skies to see the image Of Apollo in the clouds. The steeds that pull the chariot . Ride on unpaved roads. And in the deep recesses Of the knee high weeds Imagination came to life Where the kitten feeds. A dinosaur with seven heads, Each peering quizzically And the child peering back does laugh Delighted as can be. The child asked, "Can you speak The English of the King?" The second head in the first row Responded with a wink. "Of course I can, my lad, my boy, But my friends cannot. One, he speaks Italian, Another polyglot. " "Can you direct me, my dear lad? It seems I've lost my way. I went to see the famous wharf In the city by the Bay. "
STOP IT YOU LADIES STOP IT you ladies- You're not going to win Get back to loving your superior men. Go home to care for your households and kids, · and S.top struttin' and cacklin' about women's lib. Stop wearing men's clothes and get back in your own, but leave off your brasnow that I 'll condone. And when again your short skirts I do see, you may be the lucky oneI pick to go out with me. Doug Evans

And then there was commotion Of a most peculiar kind, The seven heads were arguing In language of the mind. Again, the English speaking head Turned upon the boy And slowly leaned down to whisper, "This chat I do enjoy. " " But you see, my six comrades Do not desire delay. So take good care and see you soon On another day. " The child's eyes grinned with stars. He giggled till he fell Among the knee high weeds, Where once the monsters dwelt. " Hey kitty, did you happen to see My English speaking friend? With seven heads they must agree Or everyday they'd spend Arguing on what to do And who they're going to see. I'm afraid I'm not that wise. I 'm glad there is just one of me. " The kitten yawned and scampered Away from the young boy Bored with the inspiration The little boy employed. Ah, such delightful children, Imaginative as can be, The fancies of invention Mere memories for me. Ronnie Constan

·o de 11-80 at Sa n Jose City College Text by M argaret O'Brien, photos by David C. Brown Oh, my ach ing back. What a pa in! I really feel sick. The pain is darting up and down my spine. What's wrong with me? "Just re lax, just relax," Chuck Sharit kept repeating. " You are doing fine, you're going to be okay." There I was lying on my back in the cool shade of the 100 bu ilding with three concerned Emergency Medical Technician Recertification students scurrying about me. I felt rotten to say the least. The pain in m~· back was intensifying and I was jsut su re this was the·end . Quickly, Chuck Sharit, Nancy De La Cruz and Chuck Boyd learned that I had an odd lump near my fifth or sixth vertebra. All I knew was that it felt like someone had kicked me hard in the back. Boyd said that "first we have to keep your neck still," so he place a neck brace around it. My back needed to be immobilized. I was rolled onto my left side by Sharit while Boyd slid a short spine board under my back. Carefully I was rolled . down onto it. All the while comforting words were be ing spoken to me and even though the pain in my back was increasing, just knowing that trained and concerned people were around made me feel better. On the sides of the spine board were slots where Sharit and Boyd inserted restraining straps to insure my back would be still and yet comfortable. It was necessary for my head also to be secured to the board to make certain that no part of my back could move. This was accomplished by wrapping gauze around my forehead and down under the

The work these students did was fantastic beca~o~se, within five minutes I could walk to the Times off ice to write this story. Actually what was taking place was one of several simulated demonstrations of proper emergency medi. cal treatment. Recertification students are those who have already completed the courses required for an EMT 1 certificate However, in order for t hem to keep abreast of new developments and t reatment techniques they are required to take this course. Usually it . is required every two years but, some-. times as often as every 18 months as in the case of Gary Powell . Powell drives an ambulance for West Valley Ambulance company and finds his job " very rewarding." "It 's good to know you are doing someth ing good for people ," says Powell. "I really like that part of it." These demonstrations are not uncommon and are a good way for the students to ready themselves fo r the four and a half lab final. " The students learn a lot by practice and it takes' lot of practice to become proficient. We wi ll be doing more of these before the end of the semester," added Anderson . It is said that practice makes perfect and if that is .so then we can all feel lucky to have people such as Chuck Sharit, Nancy De La Cruz, Chuck Boyd and Gary Powell on our side.

Take off to.the worl:d • VIC Cl EE stud enttours By Margaret O'Brien
METAL MONSTER?- No, this unusual piece of art is rtot from outer space. It is a metal sculpture done by Matt Bartlett in Joe Slusky's Art 42 A-B class.
Probably the most frequent question that students get asked at the beginning of any school year is, "What d id you do on your summer vacation?" This year, if you take advan· tage of CIEE (Council on lnterna· t ionaI Educational Exchange) stu· dent tours, you can have quite a bit to tell. Cl EE tours are available to all parts of t he world and they depart all through the summer. Travel offerings this summer in· elude tours of the Caribbean , t he Amazon and the Andes, and central Euro pe . There are also some specialty tours d esigned for people with special interests. For example there is a "Vagabond Bicycle tour" through England, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. It features five days of cycling in Br it· tany and the chateau country of the Loire Valley, three days of cycl· ing in along the Rhein and Mosel Rivers of Germany and two days of riding in the Black Forest. "The Wanderer hiking t our" in· eludes travel in Germany, Italy,

Spring sports year • • 1ng success a surpr1s By Pau l Lloret Sports Editor IT MAY HAVE rained throughout a major portion of the 1978 spring semester at San Jose City College; however, those rain clouds d id little t o dampen SJCC's spring sports season. The spring sports season had to be one of the more successful y ears in SJCC sport s history, even though only one club produced a champ ionship-that clud being the track squad, which claimed its fi fth straight Golden Gate Conference t itle. Among t he surprises which abounded, were SJCC's golf and swim mi ng squads which posted some amazing performances during the season.

It is the first t ime that SJCC will be showcasi ng the event , which will feature a mu ltitude of talent from Northern California's top junior colleges. Last Friday, SJCC qualified 14 individuals and two relay squads at the Nor-Cal Trials at Delta . Those members will be co mpeting today in ·an attempt to advance to the last step:,the state meet, which will be held on May 26 and 27 at Bakersfield.

The Jaguar swi mm ing team astounded many by finish ing in third place in t he GGC with an impressive 6 -2 league ledger beh ind powerhouses Diablo Valley and Foothi ll. Aft er that, the Jags disappointingly fi nished in fi fth in the GGC championships, but amazed many by rebounding with a fourth place finish in the Nor-Cal meet. IN THE NOR-CAL MEET, Jim Marshall set a meet record in the 50·yard free to display how successful SJCC's swim yea r was. How· ever, what may have been the most im pressive aspect of the swim year was t he forming of a women's team-a first in City College's history. Coach Harley Dow's golf squad seemed like the perfect squad to win a Nor-Cal championship and a bert h in the state tourney. After a t remendous start, t he Jag divot-takers rolled to a 15-1 league ledger, battling Canada's Colts for first place t hrouohout most of the season . However, a conference title was not in SJCC's plans, as the Jaguars dro pped t heir final two league matches of the year and failed to qualify for the Nor-Cal tourney. Yet, SJCC's 22-4 year was not unrewarded , as Shawn McEntee garnered individual honors by capturing All-conference honors while advancing t o the Nor-Cals.

Yet swimming wasn't the only pleasant surprise of SJCC's spring year. BASEBALL MIGHT HAVE BEEN considered to be an up-anddown season , especia lly after the purple and gold fell from 12-3-1 late in March to 17-10 at t he season's end. However, SJCC's season, which was terminated by San Mateo last week, was more than just "up-and-down." Perhaps the highlight of t he year was Alan Hatley's Mar. 11 no-hitter of CCSF. However, Mike Couchee may be even more fond of his 2-1 victory over CSM on March 28. On that spring day , Couchee dazz led t he Bulldogs, allowing only five hits in leading the Jaguars to, perhaps, their most impressive victory during the yea r. Then there is track. What is left to be said about Ernest Lewis and Thurlis Gibbs and t hei r respective nat ional marks (or anybody else's outstanding performances) that has not been said. Amazing is t he best word to describe the Jaguar t rack year. Yes, spring has blossomed for SJCC sports-it was a mighty colorful season.
ANCHORS s,.ICC FI ELD HOPES-High-jumper Thurlis Gibbs will be one of the key figu-res in tonight's Nor-Cal Finals at SJCC. The sophomore, who holds the best mark in the nation among JC high-ju mpers this year with a leap of 7-3 14, will hope to lead the Jags' competitors in gaining berths to tha §.tate meet.

" Only today and tom orrow count ... yesterday cannot be changed." - William Mesmer
CSM prevails
It was after an embarrassi ng loss t o Chabot College, and our fifth straight defeat, when our Coach Bob Mazzuca, put up the above quote in our d ug-out.
uarso usted playo ff
I suppose it was there to give us an inspirational lift (kind of like "let's win one for t he Gi pper"). Well , it was a nice try , but it didn't work. We went on to win only two out of fourteen games for the season. Frustration is one way to describe how it feels to lose all those games. The reason why it was so frustrati ng was because, believe it or not, we were a good team. I really believed we wou ld be up there (in the standings) when the playoffs came along, and so did our coach. He picked us to fi nish in fo urth place; I picked us to fin ish second. That's how good I t hought we were. But after losing o ur f irst fou r games, and after being humiliated in our fifth game, my beliefs soon turned into doubts. It got to the point where whenever we had a game I knew we were going to lose. I truly wanted us to win, but in t he back of my mind I just knew we couldn't. Even if we were lead ing the game, I knew .. we would blow it. And when we lost we really lost big-time; 14-3, 10-2, 14-4 to name just a few of the scores. Of course we did have a few close games, but what did it matter; they still went into the loss column. Probably our most embarrassing loss was a 12· 1 shellacking by Chabot College. It was so bad that they had t o stop th e game in t he fifth inning because of a rule that states if a team is losing by ten or more runs in the fifth inning then the game can be called . And that's just what happened. We were scraping the bottom of t he barrel for ru ns just so we could stay and play the whole game. /
When a game like that is called, one talks about feeling low- well , I was feeling the lowest. I thought I might lock myself in the locker room forever, and live on dirty towels. Well, I finally came out of the locker room, and the first thing that happened to me was someone walked up and asked me what the score was. I felt like punching him in the mouth, but instead came up with something intelligent like " I forgot what the score was," and hoped that he believed me. Of course when you lose as many games as we did , t here is going to be a few temper flareups during the course of our season. And there were no exceptions for our team. I can recall o n more than one ceca· sion when someone (including myself) at sometime was mad at someone else for something someone did or said. (That isn't confusing, is it?) One of the main reasons for someone being mad was when coach Maz· zuca would put one of the girls at a position she did n't want t o play. On second thought, I wouldn't call these d ifferences of opinion t ern· per flareups; I would call them temper "tantrums." There was one incident when one of our players got so mad during a game in which_we we re losing that when she came back to the dug-out she started yelling things like, " I'm sick and tired of t his team, we can never win.'' Pretty soon, players were arguing back and forth. Finally, eve rbody settled down and went back t o the busi ness of playing the game. The next day at our practice, I was expecting everyo ne to be do wn each other's t hroats because of what happened, but instead,

Leigh Gllllcte, the GGC's player-of-the-year, provided the firepower for the 'Dogs' as the centerfielder went four-for-five, d rilling two doubles and batting in three runs. He was helped by Steve Wallace and Derek Bullcock, as tt)e latter two each had a pair of hits, Bullcock adding a pair of RBI's to his docket. In all, the Bulldogs clubbed 15 hits off of starting pitcher Mike Couchee and to reliever Mike Ross to gai n the victory. The .

everybody was acting as if nothing happened-even the player who started it all was acting very nonchalantly. Oh well, another day in the life of the Jaguar softball team. We also second guessed our coach many times, saying "he should have done this, or should have done that," But we never stood up to tell him. Maybe if we did, it could have helped us win a few mo re games. All in all we had a pretty bad season, but there were some good things that came out of it, like gaining new friends and just having a fun time, even though we did lose all of those games. Who knows? Maybe next year we'll be 14-0.
