was abandoned by its sponsor before introduction at the Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday. Administration of Justice Instructor and Senate representative Phil Crawford explained that the resolution, which was proposed by the Senate president, David Yancey, along with Crawford and some other members of the City Senate, would not have had the support it needed to pass because the issue had gotten lost in all the commotion over the events surrounding Dr. Skinner's and Chancellor Dr. Richard Goffs membership in the Rotary Club. "It's regrettable that the issue has gotten lost," stated an ob- · viously disappointed Crawford who added that he was "disassociating himself' from the issue, but not dropping it.

to get 'benched'
By Hector Contreras Opinion Editor City College has many clubs on campus. Some clubs are well known, and others are not so well known. Large clubs, like the Marketing Club, are very active and renowned for they have been active on campus since early City College's days. But one club that largely goes unnoticed is Uni<Jad, a small but very active Hispanic club. "At Unidad, commitment is our high priority," said Eva Geron, Unidad's external coordinator to San Jose State University. She also stated that students are encouraged to join the club and help to build a stronger Hispanic club on campus. Unidad's current :president, Albert Sidhu, explamed the group's purpose as one of representation. "Unidad's chief purpose of existence is to represent Hispanic students at City College," said Sidhu. Unidad's history dates back to the early 70's when a group of Chicano students at City College felt the need for a club which would serve to encourage, unite, lLld morally support Chicanos getting through college; from this need, Somos Raza was formed. Somos Raza lasted through the 70's, but by 1983 it had changed its name to Chicanos For Higher Education (CHE). As this new club developed, it became clear to its members that Chicanos were not the only Latin minorities at City College that needed help getting through college. CHE members wanted to reach out, draw in, help out and unify a broader sector of His-

That's when Unidad was formed and since 1984 it has been an active club involved in many projects and activities. Unidad is attempting to increase Hispanic enrollment on ~~pus by co-sponsering actIVIties such as tours of the campus for high school students. Club members feel morally obligated to use their skills for helping the Latin community. They're attempting to accomplish this through by creating a strong link between the club and the community. "Unidad gives us a chance to meet new people and to

No School!
By Brenda Yesko Tunes Editor Remember when you were in first grade and the teacher "benched" you for pulling Amy Brown's hair or spitting on Jerry Crabtree? You had to spend your entire recess and lunch on the bench while the other kids had fun and teased you until you were in tears. Fortunately for City College students, being tardy or disruptive in class will hardly yield the same fate. But, imagine for a moment if jt did, the agony of having to spend your breaks and lunches on those cold, cubic, concrete excuses for benches which blemish the G.E. quad area. Luckily, G.E. denizens won't have to give this horrid torture another thought. Eight determined and dedicated City College students will soon be putting an end to this type of nightmare when their speech class project is finally realized in the form of four new ten-foot, wooden, backed benches for the G .E. quad area. This $1692 endeavor is the work of a team from Lori Lema's Tuesday, Thursday 8 a.m . small group communications class, whose assignment was to seek · out a campus flaw or area which it thought needed improvement. "We chose wooden benches for the G.E. area because the old ones promote bad posture," quipped group member Carol Tracy, adding that the stone benches are also impractical for disabled persons who require seating with back support. The eight members broke from the class, after they were given the assignment, to begin a speech club of their own which goes by the name "The Magnificent See Benches -- page 8.

Social isolatiOn on our campus? By Hector Contreras Opinion Editor
I I
I
Editorial
Beware, be aware Student Health Services sponsored "AIDS Awareness Week" in an effort to increase campus awareness and education about AIDS and offer some professional advice on a matter that seems to grow more complicated and life threatening every day. Having an AIDS Awareness Week on campus was a good idea for one very important reason. • The majority of students and faculty on campus, though willing to acknowledge the severity of the disease, seem to be unable to think of it as something that is going to reach out and touch their lives. Unfortunately for many, it is still "someone else's problem." Thus, those who label themselves immune are open to even greater risk
through their ignorance. · The very fact that the awareness week was held on campus meant that somewhere, someone had fmally woken up and realized that everyone has not only a right, but an ·urgent obligation to . understand a disease from which no one safe. . Student Health Services took AIDS to · the people with facts and, perhaps more importantly, the truth. AIDS has become a devastating disease, spreading beyond the high risk groups to America's mainstream population. The only ammunition with which to combat this killer is education and the willingness to accept that everyone is at risk and must take precautions now.

AIDS knowledge as your weapon Dear Editor:
Why the question.mark on the article by Doug Thurman and Brenda Yesko? -There is no question at all that the proper use of condoms can add great protection for an individual against the many sexually transmitted diseases (STD.s), including syphilis and gonorrhea, not just AIDS. AIDS protection carmot be supplied simply by placing a condom vending machine on the bathroom wall. AIDS prevention is accomplished only by students getting the facts. Getting the facts about AIDS is the only way a person can possibly protect him /herself from contacting AIDS. These facts are avaifable everywhere now, including the Student Health Services here on campus. Condoms can be used to help prevent AIDS and other STD s, but only with proper knowledge can they be used effectively. This is only one of the facts. Information on how AIDS is and

My teacher has continually asked these students to "please cool it." My teacher has also re' quested help from the administration, asking that signs be posted prohibiting loud, distruptive noises, yet nothing has been done and the problem still exists. I would also like to add that students who are not disabled should not park iil disabled park-

I would appreciate your printing this letter so that something will be done about this matter! This would be appreciated by the whole American Government class as well. Sincerely, Kathleen Flyxm

.-Sporis-· ...........----~--~--Bases Loaded By Doug Thurman Sports Editor
"Humm Baby" won't be hummin' "Humm Baby ... " That is the phrase I keep hearing. It's clouding me in swarms. I hear it in my sleep and taste it in my cereal bowl. In fact, the milk is even starting to tum a dingy orange ai.ld black in color. "Humm Baby ... " Those are the philosophical words that carne from the mouth of San Francisco Giants skipper Roger Craig last year when his 'kids' were riding high on their horses and galloping in frrst place, for awhile. Then their horses stumbled, somewhere between the midway point and the back stretch, and the "flumm Baby" motto never really caught its foot in the door. But, as spring training opened up, "Humm Baby" has sprung back into the scene as the new slogan for the 1987 season. Why not try "Humm Baby?" Last year's "You gotta luv those kids" failed in the end to bring the 'kids' national acclaim and ended up on skid row. "Humm Baby" may wash out the bitter after taste of the Crazy Crab mascot stint, something to spark some life into the ballclub. Something to help win a division title. Sorry folks, the fairy tale ends there. The Giants aren't quite ripe enough for miracles just yet. Not this year, anyway. Maybe '88, but not '87. You see, unlike many Giant fans and non-fans, Craig and his split-fingered followers have yet to convince me that they are good enough to live up to their pre-season hype. Let's look at their resume: For the frrst time in years, Giant pitchers are having to earn a spot in the rotation. They have an· abundance of outfielders who all deserve starting roles. They have a handful of young players coming off more than respectable rookie seasons. And they have a manager who, after one year at the helm of the organization, not only turned a worthless, gutter dwelling team around in one season, but also received a raise without even asking. Yes, without even asking. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Everything adds up· perfect, too perfect as I see it As we all know, perfect in major league baseball doesn't mean a spit of chaw. Remember last year, Giant fans? Remember before the AllStar game; those glorious three months when the Giants were living out their dreams in first place? Remember how the whole Bay Area actually thought that they would be viewing a World Series at Candlestick Park? Then the 'kids' wOke fro m their dreams and realized they didn't really belong in first place at all. So now, the "Spring Training Hustle" has once again conned the public into becoming Giant believers. I, for one, will continue to be a non-believer until the Giant organization proves me otherwise. Mter all these years in the cellar, I don't want dreams. I don't want hype. I want to see it actually happen. My prediction is fourth place, behind the Reds, Astros and Dodgers, but not necessarily in that order. The Giants will, however, put on a good show for the fans, only to fall apart in the end, repeating last year's downhill follies. To tell you the truth, dear friends, I may not know what in the tarnations I'm talking about. But as soon as Chili Davis downgrades Candlestick Park, as ~oon as Chris Brown whines of pain in his left big toe and as soon as Mike Krukow takes on yet another team in a brawl, you can put your money on "Humm Baby" turning my milk sour.

·Jags refuse to topple By Bradley Brooks . Staff Writer When it comes to playing against City College Jaguar baseball, you'd better not count · your chickens until they've · hatched. The Jaguars have bounced back from behind to win four of their last five games, three of them coming in the ninth inning. The Jaguars, who as of last week were 24-11 overall and 11-3 in Golden Gate Conference play, pulled out a 4-3 come from behind win over Diablo Valley College last Thursday. Mter a ninth i.nni:il.g base hit by shortstop Eric Coca, second baseman Ron Sortino h_it a two out triple, driving in Coca for the game winning run. Sortino, who more than dominated the game with a 4 for 5 day at the plate, also achieved a once in a blue moon accomplishment. Sortino doubled in the first inning, homered in the third, singled in the seventh, and had a game ; winning triple in the ninth to ' complete the ever-so-rare ...The
his fourth win on the season and reliever Shawn Rohrwild recorded the save in the perf"Ormance over D.V.C. "Erickson and Rohrwild have done a real good job for us this year," said Woodhead. "Shawn has done an exc~ptional job coming in for relief iJ1. crucial situations." In Saturday's game against Chabot, the Jags suffered a 6-3 defeat to knock them back into a three-way tie with Chabot and Laney in league play. The Chabot Gladiators jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the frrst inning and never looked back in handing starting pitcher Tom Newman the loss. Newman pitched six innings, giving up six runs on nine hits. The Gladiators out hit the Jaguars by pounding out 11 hits to the Jaguars eight. Catcher Greg Walhberg led the Jags in hits with a 3 for 4 day and 2 RBI while Robert Gomez was 2 for 4 at the plate. "It's good to have Walhberg back ... " said Woodhead. "But we're fortunate to have J.J. (Pargaz), as well as Coca, to step
'cy~le'.
"This is an accomplishment in itself," said Head Coach Barry Woodhead. "In all the years I've been around, I've rarely seen it done." Starter Scott Erickson recorded
in for injured players." Walhberg had missed three games before coming back against Chabot, due to a broken ·thumb. "We're finding ways to win,"
said Woodhead. ''We're not a one man team." Finding a way to win was exactly what the Jags did in the Jags most recent game on Tuesday against Laney College. The Jags were facing an 8-2 deficit in the seventh inning when they erupted for nine runs, and hung on to win the game 11-10. (Statistics not available in time for publication) "We're getting really good production out of the two freshmen, .Bosco and Borgese," Woodhead said. Centerfielder Steve Bosco I S hitting in the high .300 mark and leftfielder Jeff Borgese is just over .400 in league play.

Dow said that the Camino Norte league proves to be a greater challenge for his team and also provides a menacing distance of travel for each match. "There is much more traveling which I don't like and the kids don't like, but that's part of the game." said Dow. After Monday's victory the Jaguars were assured a spot in the Nor-Cal playoffs. The top two teams from the league receive berths to the playoffs, but for the time being the Jags are concentrating on winning their own league championship. "We are right in the hunt," Dow said. "If we want it we have the chance to take it." The Jaguars must win the remaining two mini-tourneys ID;ld their head to head matchup m order to win the league title. Chabot has ended its head to head season and thus will not be able to stop City College if the Jags keep winning.

'Jenner' series starts Saturday. plained that orginally, the meets were aimed at local high school and college athletes, but that they became so popular that they have become an event which draws international athletes and acclaim. The Premiere Meet will take place May 30 at noon boasting "the cream of the crop" athletes from around the world. To name only a few, Mary Decker, Tom Petranoff and Art Burns. This Premiere Meet is unique in that it's not only the first stop of the Grand Prix's international tour schedule, but the only one in the United States. Highlight Grand Prix Events for May 30 include: Merrs 200, 400, 1500, 5000, 110 HH, pole vault, long jump, discus and . javelin. Women's include: 100, 400H, 800, mile, 3000, shot, high jump, and long jump. In preparation for these events, the city of San Jose spent $80,000, via a grant, to give th.e track a :'fac~-lift" in time for not only · the Jenner Classics, but the World Track Trials which will also fmd their home at City College at the end of June. The refurbishing included bringing the track up to international standard size from 440yards to 440 meters. In addition, there is a new pole vault run-way and a widened high jump apron said Bert Bonnano. This year's meet is dedicated to the memory of javelin star Bob Roggy, who was killed in a fall from a moving truck in Houston during last fall's Olympic Festival. Bert Bonnano, Jenner Classic ring-master, stated that he expected further confirmations from still more athletes who are planning to participate in both the Grand Prix and the World Trials in the weeks to come. Tickets for the Grand Prix are priced at $13 for reserved and $10 for grandstand and standing, and are available at the City . College West Box Office. It's no doubt that City College and the Bay Area are in for one of the greatest track and field double -headers ever!
