needed its own bowl game after viewing the crowd in attendance for the Jaguar victory at the Merced Elks Bowl last December. "There are not enough bowl games in California and I think the best JC football is played in the state of California," he said. The bowl's board of directors coupled with advertising has raised nearly $8,000, sixty percent of which will reciprocate back to SJCC. According to college president, Dr. Byron R. Skinner, these funds will

This fall, City College will get its first-ever condom vending machines, which are scheduled to be i,nstalled in both the men's and women's rest rooms on campus by the end of this semester. Approval for installation of the machines on the City College campus came at the July 21 meeting of the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District Board of Trustees. Evergreen Valley College was alsQ included in .this decision, Last semester, the Associated Student Council of City College put together a survey to get student reaction to the issue of condom machines on campus. This came after the campus held a "Safe Sex" week to help prevent AIDS. Of the 274 students who took part in the survey, 239 were in favor of having condom machines installed, while 35 students voted 'no'. Current .ASB president Marie Yoder, is opposed to having the condom machines on campus, noting that students can purchase condoms at Student Health Services. "Out of the 5,000 registered students, approximately 274 students were surveyed. I don't feel that fairly reflects the student body as a whole," said Yoder. Yoder added however, that she would be supporting the decision to have the machines on campus because the former ASC had already passed it. :Former ASB president Kim McDonald, stressed her support. "I am all for it. Last semester we gave a student survey which reflected that students were also in favor of it," said McDonald. According to ASC advisor Judy Rookstool, bids will be sought from local venders and then installed when one is chosen.
