State plan·spells more homework Tougher prerequisites for '88 By Deborah Kerr Students who register for the first time in the fall of1988 can expect stiffer prerequisites and tougher homework standards, in accordance with new State of California "Title V" requirements. The Title V requirements passed by the state legislature and clarified into an administrative code on September 15 call for "college level vocabulary, study skills, and reading materials," along with a two-hour-per-unit homework requirement. According to Dean of Instruction Dr. Leo E. Chavez, the new "college level vocabulary, study skills and reading materials" requirements eventually could result in
mandatory lock-outs in all disciplines. "How do you enforce that with more than 10,000 students?" he questioned. The requirements were bounced between the school's administration and the courts for approximately two years because the requirements couldn't be defined, according to Gordon Peterson, chairperson of the Instructional Policies Committee. "The legal people, whom we normally cannot understand, are now saying that they can't understand what the educators · meant," he said. The committee, made up of faculty, administration and students, and designed to review
new course proposals and changes in criteria, is a body that takes upon itself the responsibility to understand criteria and make course recommendations, according to Peterson. Peterson stated that the two-hours-per-unit homework requirement has been a tradition for years, but he expressed concern about incorporating that requirement into courses such as physical education. Although he couldn't say exactly how it will be enforced because the committee is still in the process of deciding, he conjected that most courses would require a revised course outline and that individual
courses would have to be more carefully managed by the department deans. '"Teachers are concerned about the task of rewriting course outlines," Peterson said. "It will be time consuming and laborious," said Dr. Chavez, "but we don't have any options." He said it is unfortunate that ihe state is becoming so involved in community college education, and feels this is happening because of a bad perception of community colleges. "We are being forced more into a bureaucratic system by the state to prove that we are, in fact, demanding college level work," he said.

Genocide feared in South Africa By E. Mark Moreno The problem in South Africa isn't racial segregation but what looms on the nation's horizon the out-and-out murder of its black population, according to a New York educator during a speech Wednesday morning at the City College theater. · Dr. Leonard Jeffries is currently chairman of the Black Studies Department at the City College of New York and for the past year has been working for the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland, on the question of racism. Also founder of the Black Studies Department at San Jose State University, Dr. Jeffries was invited to speak to students on campus by social science instructor Charles Murry. Clad in a blue nishiki and slacks, the Columbia Ph.d. and spoke in a down-to-earth manner, contrasting at times with firey gestures and comments. This extreme contrast in mannerisms made for an attentive audience. "The crisis in South Africa is something that is not far away in another part of the world," he said. "It's right here, it's us ." He went on to say, "Nothing that we are doing is as meaningful as resolving the crisis in South Africa. We are in a mult-racial society, in a
multi-racial city and a multi-racial institution called San Jose City College ... It would not take much to destroy what you represent." Jeffries said that when the "white race war" reaches its peak in South Mrica, it won't be easy for people of different colors in this country to "sit down together." He then stated that the South African problem is not a question of divestiture or apartheid, but "The most degenerating system ever developed by humankind genocide." "The fascists in South Africa have the capability and the will to destroy 10 million Africans in a weekend. No people have ever had that hanging over their heads," he added. The professor said that the South Mrican people are facing genocide because the South African government has the military capability to wipe out the black population, if it has to, in order to maintain white status. He cited the existence of a secret South African brotherhood called the Broederbond that is made up of "15,000 white Afrikaner men sworn to maintain white supremacy at all costs." . This society, he said, is in alliance with the Dutch Reformed Church and the ruling Nationalist Party on a systematic plan for the destruction of black South Africans. Jeffries told the audience that, with the use of Japanese computers, this alliance has figured out how many blacks are expendible and how many can be retained as needed for work in the mines and industry. Too many local students, he concluded, are now concerned only with their individual careers and their own little piece of the pie. "When I was a student here in San Jose, an alliance of Mexicans, blacks, and progressive whites worked on ways (of changing the world). All that is dead now."

'Concepts' ideal for math avoiders
Cot.t-GGe ~
By Karen Evans
Editorial
.Core curriculum proposal is too all-encompassing In another attempt to improve the college's image, a task force on General Education, headed by Dean of Instruction Dr. Leo E. Chavez, has written a report recommending a sweeping overhaul of the City College general education system. The report contends that the general education courses at City College have strayed too far from 'general' and become too specialized by offering too many G.E. choices to students. In an attempt to curb the problem, the task force proposes changing and recategorizing all the G.E. courses, deleting many of the specialized courses from the list of G.E. requirements, and adding a core of four courses which must be taken by all A.A. and transfer students. It also recommends incorporating the annual academic theme, which this year is "Freedom and Responsibility," into course instruction with the hopes of unifying activities, students and faculty around campus. Many of those courses slated for the chopping block _s hould not be dropped. For instance, History 17 A and 1 7B would no longer exist. Instead, students would be required to take a "bastardized course," according to History Instructor Jack Burrows, called "The Development of American Institutions." Moreover, the ethnic studies requirement, crucial for students living in this
Letters Policy
multi-ethnic society, would be dropped from the G. E. list. The goals of the committee are desirable, but the changes recommended are too all-encompassing. For instance, the academic theme could be achieved simply if instructors would voluntarily change their course outlines to include relating curriculum. The classes need not be changed to accomplish this goal. Also, those 'extra' courses falling under G.E. requirements could be dropped without having to rewrite the remaining course titles and requirements. The proposal might be preempted by the state anyways. Under a task force billed as "The Committee T o Redo the Master Plan," the state is currently outlining a core curriculum for all community colleges to adopt. This, according to Dr. Chavez, could take place in five years. Who's to say that the state's core plan ... would be the same as City College's? Students could be forced to relive the ordeal of changed curriculum all over again. Chaos in the admissions and records department at City College, and problems for transfer students at the state university, . would be unavoidable. The City College administration should not be allowed to play musical chairs with the school's curriculum and Russian Roulette with student's academic future.
Times story complimented To the Editor, I want to compliment you on the article featured in the October 3rd issue of the Times. The article entitled "General Education Course Overhaul" was very well written, thoughtful, insightful, and balanced. The issue of general education is critical to the students and faculty and your article has provided a valuable service. I am sure that as a result of your work, the college community is better informed and the debate regarding general education will profit from your balanced treatment. Thank you again and I hope the Times continues to provide its readers with articles concerning instruction and curriculum. Sincerely, Leo E. Chavez, Ph.D. Dean of Instruction
For the record The article on English prerequisites that appeared in the Sept. 19 issue of the Times contained one factual error. The article stated that entrance exam results will place a student in either "English 310, 92 or lA," and should have read, "English 330, 92 or 1A." An article in the Oct. 3 issue of the Times incorrectly identified KJCC disc jockey Scott Aaron as Scott Arnold. The station's air days were also mistakenly given as TuesdayThursday when in fact KJCC is on the air 11 a.m.-1 p.m. MondayFriday.
The Times welcomes comment from the public on subjects of interest to the campus community. Letters to the Editor and Viewpoint articles should be submitted in typewritten form, double spaced if possible. Handwritten submissions will be acceptable if readable.

SJCC student slain in East City College student Quynh Dang, 22, of San Jose, was found dead Friday, Oct. 10, after he was abducted by four youths on Oct. 7, in Worchester, Mass. The electronics student had traveled to Worchester to be with his fiance and bring her back to California with him. But Dang was abducted Wednesday outside his fiance's mother's home, according to Worcester Police Captain Edward O'Brian, and carried away in a white van. The van was found several miles from where Dang was abducted two days later, and, later on that day, Dang's gagged and bound body was discovered under some leaves in a wooded area north of Worcester. On a work-study program, Dang attended Heald College and worked at the City College Audio-Visual Department. "He was always sitting here quietly studying away ... A very good worker," said Phyllis Redlick, City College A/V secretary. "You wouldn't think this would happen to someone like him." According to Dang's brother, Hoang Dang, the two brothers fled Vietnam by boat in 19&2, leaving the rest of their family behind. Three of the suspects were arraigned Tuesday on charges of murder and kidnapping and taken to a state mental hospital for evaluation. A foUrth suspect, a 15-year-old boy, faces delinquency charges in connection with the death, police said. Dang's fiance plans to follow Dang home to mourn his· death.

The San Jose City · College Volleyball team has been doing some major traveling the last two weeks participating in two of the states largest, and most competitive pre-season tournaments. Both the players and Head Coach Sam Huerta claim that they have seen some great volleyball and gained some valuble experience by playing in these high caliber tournaments. Coach Huerta hopes that this experience will help his spikers in their quest for the Golden Gate Conference title.

Updated ·alarms enhance security By Helen Ryan The fi re and intrusion alarm systems of City College and EVC are being made more complete and modern by Secur ity Specialists and should be done by December. "We have bridges in our security system and this (new) system is supposed to correct that," said Phillip Mowry, director of facilities planning. City College now has a master key to all doors on campus. "Shoul d we lose it we' re vulnerable," Mowry commented. If the key is lost, then all the locks have to be changed. A card access system will replace the key in high security areas such as the campus police office, the computer lab and "where ever we keep valuables," Mowry added. The main controls to the system are at EVC. When a card is inserted, a record is made of who entered and when. If someone loses their card then "all you have to do is re-program the card," he said. "The control console for fire alarms at Evergreen is n~ally out of date," continued Mowry. · The tweleve-year-old mechanichl console at EVC and the console at City College will both be replaced by electronic consoles. When a fue alarm goes off at City College an alarm also goes off at the console at Evergreen. State law requires that the
district have fire alarms in which glass is broken to pull the lever in case of a fi re. How ever," our fi re alarm system goes a few steps beyond that, according to Mowry. In some rooms the sprinkler system will go off and a fue truck will be sent if a rue is detected. In other rooms an alarm will go off if there is a certain rise in heat in a set amount of time. The intrusion alarm system will be changed by adding door switches. If someone opens the door when the switch is on, the alarm sounds and notifies the security office on campus. City College presently has an ultra-sonic system. If someone breaks the beam of light by the window, an alarm goes off. The District is spending $272,825 on security changes. That total breaks down to $129, 150 spent for the changes at City College and $143,675 at EVC. Half the m0ney comes from a statewide program for deferred maintenance in community colleges. The money must be spent by June of next year. "They're (Security Specialists) . supposed to be working around classes," said Mowry. But a person in an office has complained about a worker breaking a copy machine's glass window by standing on it.
