District board trustees will be faced with ~e touchy subject of discrimination at their next meeting this Tuesday night. They will be voting on a resolution to no longer reimburse administrators for their · participation in clubs that discriminate on the basis of sex. The controversy arose last week at a Faculty Senate meeting and specifically involves district Chancellor, Dr. Richard Goff, 1988 president-elect of the San Jose Rotary Club, an organization which bars women

This is the first c~>ntest that has been attended by rune of these contest winners. · Club member Kim Campbell was elected Treasurer of the State Organization and Kristen Bergman was appointed State Parlimentarian. Only two areas of competition were omitted by the club, Fashion Merchandising and Advertising Campaign. This is the first time these contests were

The award is the largest presented to community college and ~0~-year students by the ~soc1aUon of state publishers. It IS the first ever received by a staff member of the Times.

a mile for 18 miles round trip per meeting and $8 for his lunches at the Rotary Club. The dispute is a serious foreshadow for City College's upcoming Women's History Week celebrations which begin Saturday when former San Jose Mayor Janet Gray Hayes and state Sen. Diane Watson, D-Los Angeles are slated to speak. The faculty's resolution would prohibit any SJCC/EVC Community College District employee from taking part . "~ur~g .regular di~tri~t hours, o~ ~tnct tune or at d.1stn~ expense lJ?- ~my orgamzatwn that disc~tes f<;>r any reason. Whil.e h<?th s1des agree that the resoluuon IS extremely broad due to it's nature, however Goff believes that the majority of the board feel that Rotary and his position on it are both important and "noble" to the city of San Jose and the district. "The Rotary has done a lot for City College through the grants and scholarships it has made av~lable," said Goff. "Rotary is an rmportant part of San Jose,
involved with helping out people who need it." The board will vote on the resolution next Tuesday and senate president David Yancey feels that the board will support Goff and it will uphold his reimbursements, though he admitted he couldn't understand why. "How can the district support Goffs position and then tum around and back Women's History Week?," said an obviously frustrated Yancey. Yancey stressed his concern over the board's mostly positive backing of Goffs position, but was quick to add that the community would not stand for something as fundamental as equal rights to be passed off so easily. "It would cause so much of an uproar within the county, the district and state, that the trustees would find themselves in a very lonely place," said Yancey.

If you park in the student lot' or the faculty lot near the GE Building, drive defensively. Be careful getting out onto Moorpark. It seems that more and more people are deciding to use the right lane as an express to whisk them to Leigh A venue-- this despite the fact that big bold right-tum arrows are painted in the street at the approaches to both the student and faculty lots and that fat solid double white lines practically force anybody with eyeballs to turn into either lot. But in my experience over the_
past two years, more than two out of three approaching vehicles speed relentlessly ahead. Turning right at the lots is the ·. only lawful action for drivers in the right lane. I feel the Campus Police should be empowered to pull over and cite the drivers who fail to turn. Let them get tough. Let the Administration request, today, that the city put signs on Moorpark east of Bascom dedaring RIGHT LANE FOR RIGHT TURN ONLY. Meanwhile, keep driving defensively. Or you may be dead right.

Who do you think is the best instructor on campus?
Communicatio-n at Contra Costa Contra Costa College has a big problem. It isn't necessarily the fault of any one person or group, but information is a rare commodity on this campus. The problem isn't a new one, but somehow it just never seems to go away. Of course, people here are busy. The ones who aren't paid to keep busy are graded as a measure of how busy they've been. Administrators, faculty, classified staff and students, all of us here for a reason -- all of us perhaps too caught up in our own routines to spend much time communicating. But information is one of the things that makes a community. How can people here feel united if any group is eliminated from the chain of communication? How can any group be blamed for its confusion if misled by some secret agenda? People with the facts don't need to make assumptions. If confusion persists after stabs at communication, we shouldn't overlook the possibility that the communication is flawed or incomplete. People with the
facts don't need to speculate. Ignorance may be bliss, but nobody likes to be left out. Feelings of isolation can breed feel ings of contempt. If group A feels group B has the answers and isn't sharing, or didn't share soon enough, group A probably isn't going to be overwhelmed with compassion for group B, even if group B doesn't have the answers, or if they do and simply aren't capable of communication. Members of tlie administration here seem to think they've made an honest and complete effort at communicatiiJ.g the financial woes of the college to the faculty and staff. Some members of the staff disagree. They feel misdirected or misinformed. Chances are good that one of the groups is wrong in its assumptions. In either case, communication simply isn't taking place. What are we going to do about it? The Advocate Contra Costa College

Jags and B~lldogs· tangle in slugfest _ By Doug Thunnan/Sports Editor It wasn't a turkeyfest, it wasn't an Octoberfest, nor was it an Easterfest, last Tuesday's baseball game between San Jose City College and San Mateo was nothing more than a bonafide slugfest. Slugfest? Yes, Slugfest. Between .both teams, there were five homeruns, four extra-base hits, nine players with more than one hit and 34 hits all-together, and when the fmal out was recorded, the City College Jaguars had snuck out of the fest with a 17-11 win over the Bulldogs of San Mateo. The Jaguars started the mayhem with four runs in the 1st inning of play, but the Bulldogs countered with five runs of their own, hitting two homenins in their half of the inning: The Jaguars failed to score in only two of the nine innings, collecting their 17 runs with a 20-hit performance. "Our offense has been outstanding thus far," exclaimed Head Coach Barry Wo~ead . The Jags have had 29 runs, 41 hits, 12 extra-base hits and five honieruns in the three league games played so far, more than backing up Coach Woodhead's statement. Top hitters for the Jags during Tuesday's game were Robert Gomez and Steve Bosco who were both 4 for 6 for the
day. Ron. Sortino, Andy Buchanan, Jeff' Borgese, who had a solo homerun in the fifth and Greg Walhberg all turned in 2 for 5 perfoilJlances. Sail Mateo turned in.14 hits in the contest but San Jose starter Scott Erickson still managed to get the better of the Bulldogs, striking out five batters while walking none in seven innings of work. "Even though we gave up 14 hits, I was extremely pl~ased with our pitching performance," said Woodhead, " ... We didn't walk anybody, that's outstanding for us." "Also, all four homeruns, nine runs worth, would not have left the park had the wind not been blowing so much," added Woodhead. · Wind or no wind, the Jags ended the game on top, improving their record to 2-1 in Golden Gate Conference league play. The Jags recorded a 7-2 win over Chabot in their first league game. Erickson earned the win in that game as well, allowing only six hits over eight innings work. The Jags were handed an 8-5 loss by Laney of Oakland in their second league rnatchup. Coach Woodhead said that he feels his team should be able to take the top notch in the league, but only if they can stay with the basic fundamentals of the game.

The City College women's softball team opens its Golden Gate Conference season at home Tuesday against Diablo Valley College. The Jaguars are currently 5-4 in non-league play. "All of our losses have been one run ballgames except for one, and that loss was by two runs,' said fifth year roach Sam Huerta. The lady Jag's have a good shot at being the top dog in the G.G.C. this year, according to coach Huerta, the Jaguars should be one of the top three teams in the G.G.C .. "Chabot, San Mateo, and ourselves should be the top teams in the league," Huerta said. Chabot and San Mateo have both been the top teams in recent years. Coach Huerta is positive with the team this year Wanda Richmond, who was an allleague player last year, and Cindy Richmond, who was a 2nd team all-league player in 85, will both be contributing to the team. "We have a young team with three sophomores to work with as our nucleus," Huerta said. Freshman frrst baseman Perla Ross is keeping up her end of the stick. Ross is hitting third in the lineup with an average over .400, and playing very consistently. "Perla is very consistent and one of our strong infielders,' Coach Huerta said. ·One of the biggest positions to fill in softball is the pitching slot and coach Huerta sounded pleased with his pitching rotation. "As far as numbers go we are pretty good. We have four pitchers, Wanda Richmond, Barbara Morrey, Norma Urias, and Bonny Oschner." One of the Jaguars strengths is that they are a very versatile team. According to coach Huerta, nearly everyone on the team plays more than one position. The lady Jag's will be in Fresno March 13-14 competing in the Lady Rams Invitational. The tournament will be a good test for the team. It is an eight team tournament with teamS from both northern and southern California.

Jaguars lose to Skyline, fall short of state tourney Pay rookies what they're worth What WQuld Major League Baseball be like without rising stars like Jose Canseco, Wally Joyner and Glenn Davis? Well, imagine these obscure insanities: Cracker Jacks without ~ toy surprise, Disneyland without Mickey Mouse, ' space wtthout the shuttle, or worse yet, New York without the Statue of Liberty. · Losing a main attraction. How would it feel? As of last week three major league owners are flirting with the possibility of finding out Canseco, of the O.lkland A's, Joyner, of the California ~ngels, and Davis of the Houston Astros, were all involved in bttter contract negotiations with their respective ballclubs, and all three p~yers were willing to sit out the year if needed, to proveapomt What point you ask? Worth! What are these young stars worth to their clubs? In 1986, Consecos' 33 home runs and 117 runs batted in helped a dismal Oakland club gain back some of the respect they had lost in the past decade. · In 1986, Davis' 31 home runs and 101 runs batted in lead the Astros to a National League west title and one game away from the World Series. In 1986, .Joyner, even though hampered by an injury at the end of th~ season, hit 22 round trippers and knocked in 92 runs, helpmg his team to an American League west title and one game away from the World Series as well. So you, the owners, tell me. What are your young sluggers worth? $300,000? $400,000 possibly? Certainly not the peuy monopoly money you're throwing on the table now. -Canseco--offered $150,000 -Davis-offered $180,000 -loyner--offered $160,000 Most people would consider these sums a considerable amount of money. But, in all actuality they're not, considering some of the lucrative contracts the head brass are giving other members on the team. Take the Oakland A's for example. They are overwhelmed by paying an approximate $800,000 to an over the hill, once superstar veteran, (I won't mention any names) but they refuse to give Canseco, the American League Rookie of the Year, the $200,000 he is asking for . What will they be paying Reggie (oops, I forgot I wasn't mentioning names) for? "Limited duty" (a couple of games) in right field and first base, on the basis that he oils his arm to stop the creaking. He will also be play the DH role, but only when the A's are facing right handed pitching. Is Jackson (oops, I did it again) worth 800 grand7 If he is then, thinking rationally, Canseco is worth more. But he's not asking for more. He's not even asking anywhere close to the ballpark figure. All he's asking for is $50,000 more than the A's offer of $150,000. In Houston, the Astros had no trouble signing free agent and long time veteran Davey Lopes. He will most likely be used solely as a utility player who will be lucky if he plays 80 games on the diamond. For that, Lopes will be payed $450,000, but Davis, the runner up to the National League Rookie of the year, can't squeeze out $240,000. As of late, the traditional baseball fever' has had an increase in temperature between both parties. The owners won't comply to the requests of the rookies (and non rookies as well) because they claim they're losing money and can't afford to pay high priced salaries any longer. Have they ever stop to wonder why they are losing money? Sure, it could come about due to paying out big contracts and slumping attendances at home games. But I tend to ponder with the notion that maybe the owners are getting caught up in their own dynasties. They are paying too much to the overrated players and too little to the underrated players. Pay for stats, not on the players' name from the past Pay for talent, not for ability that has all but gone and went Not only that, but pay for elite accomplishments such as making the All-Star team or making 600 plate appearances, both of which Canseco received money for last year. Or how about a bonus for a league MVP honor, a little incentive to strive for even though your team is playing like sewage rats in a pile of manure. I do, however, agree that if the own~rs payed every player what he demanded, not only would therr budgets reach sky rocketing amounts, but they would also be standing in line at the unemployment office. I feel compassion for you. You have a demanding, ulcer related job. You must put your foot down somewhere. But don't stomp it where it doesn't belong. It belongs in the throats of the ingrates who are seeking multi-year, multimillion dollar contracts, not in the backs of young franchise players who have a world championship urging to get out While Canseco and Joyner have come to contract agreements this past week, it's about time the dirty poker ends among magor league owners. If not, some of your chips might disappear before the final hand is dealt

Review
'Top Girls' closes this Sunday By Brenda Yesko/Times Editor Anyone planning to attend the Women's History Week activities on campus in the upcoming week should be sure not to miss "Top Girls." The play, a Drama Department production, ends its run Sunday afternoon. "Top Girls," directed by Jack Davis, captures the essence of women's history through both dramatic and light variations on the central theme of women and their plight and struggle while trying to fmd a place in a man's world, The play poses important questions about how women are viewed in today's society and what pressures they must endure to survive. The seven members of the all-girl cast were obviously selected with great care for their extraordinary talent and ability to handle the portraying of more than one role since each cast member, with the exception of Allaire A. Paterson who portrays the lead Marlene, portray multiple roles with ease. Paterson's character, Marlene is a working woman employed at the "Top Girls Employment Agency," who attempts to come to grips with her guilt feelings · over abandoning her daughter, Angie (Natasha Diana Soward), to her sister, Joyce. In the opening scene Marlene dines with Joan of Arc, Eleanor Roosevelt, the mythical Pope Joan, who, disguised as a man, may have been Pope between 854-856 A.D., and P.atient Griselda from Chaucer's "A Clerk's Tale," encountering shadows of herself through these distinctive and significant women. These characters relate tales of

victory and defeat and the price each had to pay for them-which was sometimes quite high. Paterson is convincing and intense, exuding a sense of devotion to her character and the theme of women in transit. She is able to focus into her fellow cast members and draw their emotions to the surface. Other exceptional performances include, Soward's portrayal of dual roles as both Angie and "Dull Gret," the subject of the Brueghel painting 'Dulle Gret' in which a woman in an apron and armor leads a crowd of women through hell. Soward's powerful portrayals are startling yet refr~shing. ~! particularly compellmg scene ts the last of the first Act, a con-versation between Angie and neighborhood girlfriend, Kit (Tanya Birenbaum), over topics of life as well as Angie's secret desires to kill Joyc~ . The entire cast IS commendable; Meg Murph_y as Griselda/

According to .l{otary Club International bylaws, if a branch of the club does accept women, that branch is automatically dropped as part of the international organization. In other words, women endanger the Club's status and standing as part of the international group simple because of their sex.
