EngIish pre ~eqursrt·es!BMooman aat'e ry By Deborah Kerr City College students are no longer free to enter the English class of their choice. Beginning this semester, students are only admitted into classes for which they meet the prerequisites under a pilot program which is designed to c~tail the high student drop and failure rate. The present rate of student drops is in excess of 20 percent and the failure rate is appro~imately 13 percent, accordmg to Dean of Instruction Leo E. Chavez. . The ,Program, appropriately titl_ed Mandatory lockout," is bemg tested by the English D~partment and, if successful, WJ!l eventually spread to all other departments of the campus according to Charles H.' Southward, assocrate dean of studentS.
"There has always been the concern by faculty members that students were entering classes without the ability to read the required materials," he said. "At the same time, a statewide plan called 'matriculation', which means skills required to pass the class, was inaugurated." "The ideal goal," according to Southward, "is to have students placed into classes in which they succeed by having them possess the necessary skills before they enter the class in which those skills are required." The process begins when the first time college student takes the Stanford Diagnostic entrance exam. The result of 'the exam will place him in either English 310, 92, or 1A, according to Mary Jane Page, assistant dean of language artS. When the student then registers for his English class in
admissions and records, the computer will indicate whether or not the student has met the required prerequisite, according to Maida Naden of admissions and records. If the computer indicates that the student has not met the prerequisite, the student is advised to see his counselor, she said. "Sometimes the student has met the prerequisite, but the information is not made available to the college," said Naden. In that case, the counselor will code in the correct information to allow the student into the class, providing the student has the proper identification. In other words, "the counselor has the official say-so," Naden continued. In the past, according to Page, students were able to get around prerequisites and often were
placed in classes they were not prepared for. This created extra work and confusion for English teachers and administrators who had to go to lengthy procedures to move studentS around. T~e task of appropriat~ly placmg English students now stops at admissions and records. This, in turn, causes less conhsion for English students, teachers, and administrators, she continued.
On occasion, according to Page, a student's entrance test result lands right on the border between one level and another. In such cases, the student is still allowed to take the writing sample, just as in past semesters. The results of the writing sample will then place the student in the appropriate level. "I think the program is working pretty well," said Page, althougl': she feels the prerequisites are sti 11
"soft." "I don't think the cut-off scores on the Stanford Diagnostic are high enough," she explained. "I don't see any difference in enrollment," she said. "We had to open another section of English 92 this semester." Page also praised the program for eliminating overenrollment. John Kangas, district dean of academic standards, said that there has been a 10 percent drop in enrollment in the English dei ·artment, which he feels is a result of the mandatory l~kout. Although he said that it was hard to calculate the impact of student lockout in all disciplines, he estimated that City College c0 ld lose about 31 percent of its slu.!ents. "I should have a good picture at the end of the Fall semester, when grades are in, as to what the results of the lockout are," sa: l Kangas.

Education holds key to freedom, responsibility -
Editorial
Let's make no more enemies dowri sOuth The United States cannot afford to lose any more friends in Latin America. Yet this country has always used the same method in trying to win them over: force. Years ago, if trouble brewed in a country south of the border, the marines would be sent to make the people behave. Those days are gone. It's about time the Reagan administration started realizing that brute force alone is not the ultimate solution for everything. Does it actually believe that financing the "moral equivalent of our founding fathers" with $100 million in aid will eventually bring the Sandinista government in Nicaragua to its knees and force them to the bargaining table? W ith no repercussions? W hy does the administration need to employ the method of punishment and not persuasion? What ever happen to "winning the hearts and minds of the people?" The U.S. has continually supported oppressive friendly dictators who force their people to embrace communism because a workable democratic system isn't allowed, and no help can be had from the United States. This country has always carried the attitude, "do it our way or. catch hell." The Reagan administration carried this attitude when it suspended Nicaraguan wheat credits in March of 1981. The next month $15 million that remained of the Carter administration's $75 million aid loan to Nicaragua was canceled. In November of that year, the National Security Council met to approve a $19 million aid plan for the Contras. Our government did all this because the Nicaraguans "didn't do it our way." What the current administration is now doing is threatening the stability of a neighboring country because its government is not running things the American way. This in turn incites government repression by the Sandinistas, like closing down the opposition newspaper La Prensa two months ago.
llY ~
The United States is indirectly causing repression by a government that came into being because of the excesses of another government that this country supported for so long. All of these problems for the administration resulted from U.S. support of an oppressive and corrupt dictatorship. They can be prevented from happening again. Example: Chile. The Pinochet regime has ignored appeals for a peaceful transition to democracy by the Reagan administration. It has made clear by way of a 1980 constitution that it intends to rule for the duration of Augustin Pinochet's life. The recent assassination attempt, the solidly building opposition, both communist and non-communist, and the signing of the National Accord combine with the dogmatic Chilean government to give the appearance of imminent bloodshed. Now is the right time for the United States to take action and align itself with the Chilean opposition. The time is now to apply more direct pressure on Pinochet to relax his grip on the people and allow for a peaceful, democratic transition of power. Our government can't wait until it's too late to support the Chilean opposition. It waited too long in supporting the Nicaraguan opposition, when the Somoza regime was already falling. Now the administration is bound to the support of the Contra rebels, stirring up more confusion and instability in a country that has rarely seen peace during the past decade. We don't need to get involved with more "freedom fighters" in Chile and not be able to back out because we have to save face. The Reagan administration can't wait until another communist movement sweeps another Latin American country and turns to the Soviet Union for support. Here there is a chance to "win the hearts and minds" .of the Chilean people. Let's not lose another Latin American ally.

Editor: Freedom and responsibility are not new, and they have nev~r been separate. The idea that this year at City College we are all going to learn how freedom illl:d responsibility go hand in hand ts degrading to the intelligence ?f the student body. No one m history has ever acheived freedom. without responsibility. A better theme might be The Responsibility for Freedom. Who will accept it ? In the period of history that Hitler held power there was no freedom because the people had giveri up their responsibility. It may sound harsh, but I belieye there is some hard truth to this. Hitler was a fanatic who was able to dupe millions of people into believing that he could bring them prosperity, health, and a better world. By placing all their trust with one man and his followers, the people had given up their responsibilities. From Hitler's madness came the Holocaust, where not only six million Jewish people were brutally murdered, but also an uncounted number of those men who wore the pink triangle. Today I am concerned with what goes on in our world, in the country, and in the great state of California. For over 300 years California has represented freedom for millions of people. Now there are two things on the California ballot that threaten the freedoms of olir people. One· is whether or not English should be the sole language of the state. The argument for the proposition suggests that having English as the only language would bring about cohesion and unity and would speed minority integration .into the mainstream population. In reality, its passage would only further segregate minorities and keep them from · full participation of the Democratic process. This is because ballots would only be printed in English. Amendment XV, section 1 of the United States Constitution states, "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Also, Amendment IX states, "The enumeration in the the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not to be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The printing of ballots in the languages of ::itizens that have been using those languages for over a hundred years in this state <:ertainly must be considered a right, by virtue of its usage. I believe if passed, this law would be unconstitutional and would cost our taxpayers more than its

.
present cost. Secondly, I am concerned about Prop. 64. The supporters of the LaRouche Initiative would like to implement the quarantine of all persons in the state having AIDS or ARC or suspected of having the HTL V-ill virus. They argue that this would reduce the spread of AIDS .and eventually eliminate it. This is-far from the truth. Passage of Prop. 64 would mean the funding that is now spent for research and medical care would be eliminated, not AIDS. AIDS would spread even more rapidly as people would be afraid to seek early diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, passage of Prop. 64 would cost the state millions more than is currently spent for research and treatment. Incidentally, California outspends the other 49 states combined and doubled on research and care. Amendment XIV, section 1, states "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein' they reside. No state shall make or enforce
'Our freedoms have already been eroded by failure to take responsibility sooner.' any law which shall abridge the privileges o r immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. " · Prop. 64 attempts to go against the Constitution by passing a law which would quarantine persons with AIDS and deprive them of their basic rights which would include Life. The. witch hunt is on in California. We must take our responsibilities as citizens, not pass them off to others in the hope that everything will turn out all right. Our freedoms have already been eroded by failing to take responsibility sooner and allowing these two items to get to the ballot. Responsibility is the work we must do to achieve the goal. The goal is ·a constant quest for Freedom. If we exercise our responsibility, then I believe we can call these witch hunts off and set an example for the other 49 ' states, as we always have in California. The key is education; educating yourself and those around you. Thank you. Jeffrey C. Dillon

Cinco --er-- Mexican lnd~pendence Day E. Mark Moreno
Opinion Editor People often mistake the date of Mexican independence as being on Cinco De Mayo. I pondered this point the other day while telling a friend about an idea I had for a story on Mexican Independence Day, which was commemorated on campus last Tuesda y with festivities organized by the student club Unidad. "You mean that's not Cinco De Mayo?" My friend had asked. I then explained to him, as I have many others both Hispanic and non-Hispanic, that Cinco De Mayo was the date on which Mexican peasants an~ soldiers defeated a French invasion force in the city of Puebla in 1862. Even the May 2, 19.86 issue of the City College Times has Cinco De Mayo as "the anniverary of Mexican independence from Spain." Well, no one seemed to notice this and I'm not one to make waves. It is time, however, to set the record straight for everybody. Tuesday's festivities included a band called the Sounds of Treat, and Mexican food served in the quad. It appeared that a general feeling of good will shrouded the subconscience of people who passed through the area during the 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. event, unaware of the drama that led to the enchilada-eating afternoon. "Hmph," I remember thinking aloud. "I can remember it like it
That was when the harp music started playing and my brain blurred back in time. There I was again, cutting my class at San Jose High School, in the library, a young cholo acting out in his head the events of days long passed. September 16, 1810, was the date on which a Mexican political thinker/priest . named Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla assembled a group of peasant Indians and mestizos to make a declaration of independence from Spain. That speech kicked off a
struggle that lasted 11 years and took some 600,00 lives. Raising a banner dedicated to Our Lady of Guadelupe, Hidalgo led a rag-tag army armed with machetes and shovels that grew 20,000 strong. Other rebel groups formed :as the insurgents started burning Spanish homes and property and securing the areas that had fallen under their · control. Hidalgo went to work freeing slaves and returning communal hmds to the Indians before being captured and executed on July

Jags open footballseason with·victory By Michael Tejera
Lady Spikers on the defense against Monterey.
Huerta optimistic on lady spikers _ By Michael Tejera With Sam Huerta being made head coach and the addition of Randy Ranoa, an assistant coach with 21 years of playing experience, the City College women's volleyball team expects to improve and compete for the Golden Gate Conference title this fall. The lady Jags will -take on Foothill College at 6 p.m today in their home opener. The netters are coming off a 15-3, 15-5, 15-6 victory over Hartnell College. Last weekend the team placed fourth out of 18 teams in the Yuba Invitational. City College fielded its first women's volleyball team last year and fillished in fifth place in the Golden Gate Conference. Coach Sam Huerta is optimistic about his Lady Jags and expects the momentum from the latter part of thel985 season to carry over into this season.
Harr.iers take 3rd By Darius Harris The City College men's cross-country team began its 1986 season with a third place fillish last week. The Jags will be in action again Saturday when then compete in the Two Rivers Invitational. The Jaguars placed third behind American River College, and Golden Gate Conference foe College of San Mateo. The top runners for the Jags were Roque Matagulay, Harry Headrick, Rob Ward, and Brian Laird. The City College women's cross-country ;earn also faired well considermg that there are only three runners out for the team. Barbara Keehner finished sixth overall out of a strong field of 40. Betty Gongora and Laura Sullivan finished lOth, and 20th, respectively. Bob Jones, coach of the women's cross coun try team, said, "The meet will be a small one, but [it] should prepare our runners for the upcoming Lou Vasquez Invitational in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on Sept. 27, which will feature most of the schools from Northern California." The top harriers for the Jags this year will be Greg Muchado, Mike Daley. Peter Wagoner, Roque Matagulay who looks to be the number runner right now, Rob Ward, Harry Headrick, Brian Laird, and transfer student Aurells Mendoza.
Not only do the lady spikers have a well balanced nucleus of five veterans, they've also recruited seven quality freshman from local high schools, said Huerta. The veteran Jaguars are outside hitters Cindy Johnson. Neida Veloz, Miriam Martinez and last season's second team all-leager Jennie Fischenich. The freshman squad will consist of Cheryl Hernandez, Serra Gokce, Charlene Begay, Perla Ross, Joni Culp, Monique Vandenberg and Laura narsocchini.

The scoring for the Jaguars continued in the second quarter when kicking specialist Jimmy Hughes booted his first field goal of the season to give City College a three point lead. The score remained that way until quarterback Ed Larson connected with Randall for a 40-yard touchdown with only 25 seconds remaining in the half. Hughes then converted The extra point to give the Jags a halftime lead of 17-7. City College then opened the third quarter by recovering a fumble deep in Giant territory. That set up Larson's second touchdown toss of the game, but this time Steve Chandler was on the receiving end . . With Hughes once again converting the extra point, the

- After falling behind early in their season opener last Saturday night, the San Jose City College football team fought back to a 37-21 victory over the College of Sequoias' Giants at City College. The Jaguars' next test will be at 1:30 p.m. Saturday when they travel to Fresno City College to face the Bulldogs, who lost their season opener last week. The first Jaguar points were set up late in the first quarter by a 45 -yard kickoff return by Sean Connoly. That left the Jag offense on the Giants' own 38-yard line, with a seven-point deficit to overcome. After a few unsuccessful plays, tailback Tony Randall finally got the team on track by exploding through the left side of the offensive line for a touchdown to end the first quarter in a 7-7 deadlock.

Larson threw a 40-yard strike to a running Randall who managed to carry an opposing gridiron men seemed to be, running away with the game as they ran the score up to 24-7. But the Visalia team came right back and marched the length of the field to add another seven points to their score. That's when Hughes, called by City College's head coach Howard Gay the best kicker on the West Coast, added.his second field goal of the contest. The Sequoia offense made a last attempt to catch the Jaguars by driving sixty yards for what proved to be their last touchdown. That left the score at 27-21, in favor of the Jags at the end of the third quarter. The Giants would come no closer all night. The Jaguars' defense
defensive back for ten yards. But as Randall was finally being dragged down, he managed to pitch the football back to the streaking wide receiver, Steve Chandler who galloped into the end zone for his second score of the game. With the addition Hughes' extra point and 46- yard field goal the Jaguars closed their finale by defeating the College of Sequoias by a score of 3?-21. On a weekly basis, there are individual awards given to the athletes who excel that week's game. For the Jaguars' opener, there were several awards distributed by the coaching staff. Offensive player· of the week award went to running back, Tony Randall. Lineman Rick Huck earned the defensive player award, as his teammate Norman Brown received the hitter of the week award. Two special team awards went to defensive back Greg Snoddy and kicker Jimmy Hughes.

Eyesore lost 3,456 lights never lit near G. E. Build ing By Deborah Kerr
ART EXHIBIT-- Diep Nguyen, left, looks on as E. Mark Moreno points out aspects of a work by Raymond Tomasso in the City College A1t

\.Vhat was built without ever having been erected? What was a constant eyesore on campus for two years and now is gone? . What was doomed before it ever began? If your answer to all of these questions is the San Jose City College lighted billboard that sat out in the parking lot by the G.E. building for the past two years, go to the head of the class! Now, for some background information.
54 feet at the top of the billboard," he said. "Would you want to climb a 54 foot ladder to change 3,456 light bulbs?" asked Mowrey. Lucki ly for him, it was soon discovered that the ill-fated sign could not be erected. Built in Canada, the sign paid no regard to California earth q_uake codes. It would have never passed inspection by the city, according to Mowry.
At first, the sign was neatly packaged in plywood sheets and plastic \Yfapping to protect it from the elements. Gradually, however, the plywood shifted and the plastic tore. Soon the sign was visible to passers-by.
It is now resting in the local Coca-Cola yard If that weren't enough, the city refused to approve the erection of the sign because it broke a freeway proxirni"ty ordinance. The sign, according to Mowry, is now resting quietly in the local Coca-Cola yard. "I was never thrilled about the sign, frankly," said Mowry, adding, "I've heard rumors that that very sign is going to be erected at the (Santa Clara County) fairgrounds."
