nation, and De Anza, No. 6 in the state and No. 22 in the nation, haven't met on the field since 1985 when De Anza handed San Jose its last league loss prior to last weekend, 19-13, when De Anza was still a member of the Golden Gate Conference. Plans for a post-season meeting between the two last season were dashed when De Anza couldn't respond in time to a bowl game proposal set forth by San Jose. This year, both teams are eager to settle the score. "It will be a titanic battle between two outstanding football teams:· said City College Physical Education and Athletic Director · Bert Bonnano. · Head Coach Howard Gay, who has led the Jaguars to a co-championship in the Golden Gate Conference this season, said he was looking .
forward to the faceoff. "It's a great way to bring back the rivalry," Gay said. De Anza Head Coach Bob Mazzuca, who was an assistant City College football coach for seven years, pointed out De Anza's enthusiasm for the bowl. "This was a natural...the interest is there," said Mazzuca, who was named Coast Conference Coach of the Year after the Dons went unbeaten (10-0) in 1986. Sixty per cent of the proceeds from the $6,000 San Jose Bowl will go back to the college to help expand the athletic program and start a fund to bring renowned instructors to SJCC. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for students at the Student Accounts office or at the box office on the day of the game:
Re-entry program caters to both genders
By Rita Gilbert Adult men and women returning to college share many of the same personal and ndemic concerns. Consequently, the Re-entry Program at San Jose City College is attracting male students in increasing numbers. The Re- entry Program began in 1974, addressing the needs of female students over age 25 who had been away
from formal education for five years or more. "It's hard to live down the fact that we were once a woman's program," said counselor aide Diane·Graham Martinez. The original focus of the program has changed little since its beginning in 1974. The basic focus then, as now, is to address the concerns of the non-traditional student. Composition.of the program
is where change lies. Of the thought of as a "women's 200 registered students, program." about 10% are male, according to coordinator Carlos Jacquez, who thinks Maria Garcia. of the Re-entry Program as an Divorced Re-entry student organization to serve mature Mario Rameriz was laid off students, is also a Re-entry from his job in the electronic student. industry. Jacquez came to City College after the computer "I knew that if I wanted to get ahead, I would need an firm where he had been education," Rameriz said. He also admitted he wasn't manager merged with another aware that the Re-entry company. . "The_new company thought program had once been
education was more important than experience," he said. According to Jacquez, the support he needed when he decided to leave his job and return to school he found at the Re-entry department. The resources available in the Re-entry office include counseling, financial aid, child care information and social service referrals.

Over 85 people donated blood at the Red Cross/Associated Student Council sponsored blood drive Nov. 16 in the City College faculty lounge. ASC members joined the Red Cross in rbececruiting City College students and faculty to orne donors for this two-day event. Blood drive chairperson, Carmen Flores ~xpressed her support for the drive and the ISSUe.
"The reason I decided to coordinate the b. load drive is because I think it's an important Issue," said Flores . . .·~any donors cited community service and Ciyic pride as their reason for volunteering. "I think what it boils down to is helping people," added Flores. Red Cross registration attendant Doris Fitts said that some donors even came unexpectedly. "We had many volunteers show up to donate that did not sign up," Fitts said. The donation process takes approximately
45 minutes from beginning to end. First donors must go through a basic questionnaire form. Volunteers are handed several brochures to inform them of important facts about blood donation. Next, a health history of the donor is taken to insure they are eligible to donate blood or plasma by taking their vital signs. A test for anemia is also included. The actual drawing of the blood takes just 810 minutes and is painless. Donors gave 450 CC's each . Mark Delagado, Computer Science major a previous blood donor says, "I just want to donate blood to give it to someone else that needs it." Afterwards, as he sat in the canteen room, where each donor must sit for at least 15 minutes added. "It was no problem," said Alba Elena Diaz Diaz. "I encourage everyone to give blood and feel good about themselves."

Poor arena location estirn:~.ted total of 7 ,200.
When San Jose officials approved a downtown location for a 20,000-seat arena, they failed to take into account just how serious the parking situation will become. Those who opposed the arena construction in a downtown location cited the potential parking problems as their main concern. While parking in downtown San Jose isn't quite the nightmare that cities like San Francisco experience, there will be nothing to
That leaves close to 12,800 patrons who will be forced to walk longer distances, in some cases more than a mile due to inadequate parking facilities. And what about the quiet city s~eets that will be invaded by the thunder ot pre-concert partiers or after-the-show crazies who can't find adequate parking elsewhere? The city claims it will construct parking to accommodate these additional patrons, but why should the taxpayers pay for parking spaces on top of the already huge arena expense? Many believe constructing the arena in a more remote location will be inconvenient and take business away from downtown patrons. Relocating the arena to an area where parking could be made more convenient will save the taxpayers' money, relieving two headaches at a time.
tell the two cities apart just as soon as the arena plays host to its first sold-out concert or sporting event. San Jose officials are being careless and taking a big gamble that the city will be able to accommodate the crowds. Preliminary predictions estimate that the arena's on-site lot near West Santa Clara and Montgomery streets will hold just 2,000 cars. Officials have cited 10 additional parking sites in the general vicinity which will hold an

This is the time of ye<u when pleasant housewives, respectful business people and mature college students tum from Jekyl to Hyde. Actually, this is only 1 practice day for the ever mad, day- before Christmas sale. No, don't worry, merchants, we'll get even better at ravaging the stores, running over those pesty kids with our 5-speed shopping carts (they shouldn't have been there anyway), and ultimately making you CRAZY! It's tbat time of year again .•. Now, it's repent time. It's the day after the day after. We look in the mirror and see the results of our turkey feast (the whole pumpkin pie because we didn't eat our turkey) and worse yet, we look at the damage we've done to our checkbooks. Forget even thinking about the Visa. And now.. . the holiday depression sets in. We're all fat and broke.

"'No, don't worry, merchants; we'll get even better at ravaging the stores, running over those pesty kids with our -speed shopping carts .... "
It's now the beginning of Decemberish. We've lost two of the twenty pounds we'd gained, and we've got our first of the month's worth of paychecks. This is, of course, accompanied by the Visa bill and all other bills that we've conveniently misplaced under the edge of the sofa. But, hey, we're back in the Xmas spirit. It's shopping time again. Oh, yes, this time we're a little more rational. This time we spread our madness over about three weeks. A little more calmly we make our purchases and pick up those never-ending layaways. Now, we only swear, rant and rave at those stupid cashiers when they don't have what we want and they insult us by giving us rain-checks that won't possibly be available sooner than Xmas Eve. Meanwhile, we're fulfilling our Xmas duties by sending off those beautiful Christmas cards to loved ones and relatives (the two are separate because one is a cousin whom is totally despicable and is a stupid cashier anyway.) It's tbat time of year again .•. It's Christmas Eve/Day. Today was the test of the fittest shopper. Yes, merchants we've gotten better. The store should be presentable again before the next shopping mad day, and we've now learned to downshift those carts to third gear before turning comers and running over kids. And finally it's Christmas Eve. The family is all sitting by the tree. Everybody is happy, especially Mom and Grandma. They've been making and checking and still double-checking those Hot-Totties and Warm-Kahlua and
Creams.

I guess Santa was sleeping the time they were naughty and pushed us off our bikes. Oh, well, I guess even he's entitled to a few mistakes. Mom and Dad seemed to roll out of bed awfully late.

After loss to San Mateo
Jaguars tie for first . By Doug Thurman Sports Editor It was a day of upsets. A day when No. 2 Oklahoma devastated No. 1 Nebraska for a trip to the the Orange . Bowl and a possible national championship. A day when USC held off No. 5 UCLA for a trip to the Rose Bowl. A day when the "Big Game" experienced an unexpected slaughtering; 31-7, Stanford over Cal. A day when the fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the Tigers of Clemson suffered losses to underdogs. And in the junior college ranks, it was also a day for upsets. The City College Jaguars, previously ranked No.4 in the state and No. 3 in Northern California, lost for the first time in eight games on Saturday, 28-21 to San Mateo City College at San Mateo. The win gave the Bulldogs a piece of the Golden Gate Conference championship, as the Jags will have to settle for the title of "co-champs ," which was a disappointment to many. The loss will not keep the Jaguars from playing in the first inaugural San Jose Bowl to be held on Dec. 5 at Jaguar

Men's basketball team won't settle for second By Doug T hurman Sports Editor With the 1987 men's basketball season underway, the Jaguars of City College aren't striving for second best. Although the Jaguars were only one game away from a state playoff berth last season, losing to the 3rd ranked team in the state-Skyline College--by one point, the t~am finished second behmd Chabot College in the Golden Gate Conference. By the oddsmakers opinions, or at least the Junior
College Athletic Bureau, this year should be a championship year for the Jags. The Jaguars are currently ranked eighth in the state and No. 5 in Northern California in the pre-season polls, with no other GGC teams ranked above them. With what Head Coach Percy Carr called "good speed" and "good quickness," the Jags rolled past their opponents in their first three pre-season matchups. .

Spikers finish third in Golden Gate Conference : By Jason Engel Staff Writer Diablo Valley College crushed any hopes the City College women's volleyball team may have had for postseason play, defeating the team in four crucial matches. The game was more important than just a second .place ranking in the league; it was a chance for the Jags to play in the Northern California Championships. The Ladies lost, but they went down fighting; the final scores were 7-15, 15-17, 158, 11 - 15, with some outstanding individual performances. City College ended up 6-4 in the Golden Gate Conference with Chabot finishing 1st and D.V.C. 2nd, with an over-all record of 8-6. Delfina Gallardo led the team with 15 digs (saves) and Carrie Gessell was 2nd with a close 13 as the Lady Spikers
displayed their incredible defense. "Our defense agains t D.V.C. was awesome!·:· said Head Volleyball Coach Sam Huerta. With returning injured players the Jags competed with a different line up, but according to coach Huerta it didn't affect the outcome of
the match. "The starting line-up had never played all at the same time before and they came together and put out a great effort," said Huerta. The new starters continued to gel as the Spikers finished it's season with a positive win against Laney College,Nov.
X-country 9th in state The City College men's cross country team ran to a 9th place finish in the California championships on Friday at Woodward Park in Fresno. The Jaguars, who finished 5th in the Nor-Cal meet to qualify for the state fmals, received 172 points.

'Boom Boom Room' By Kathy Flynn · Campus Editor The City College Drama Department is presenting "In The Boom Boom Room" in the College Theater at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. The play, which is a "mustsee," is directed by Daryl Lindstrom, who recently joined the Drama Department. Lindstrom waited five years to dtrect "Boom Boom
Room," and it was most certainly worth the wait.. Set design gives you the feeling that you're sitting in a "go-go" dancer bar, which is what the Boom Boom Room is. The set itself includes seating for the· audience. Later, the bar converts into a bedroom. · The play is set in the 60's, at go-go bars, streets and apartments. Crissy, played by Natasha Diana Soward, goes
through a difficult "coming of age" period while striving to find her Mr. Right, who of course, is Mr. Wrong. After confronting her parents, played by Dennis R. Gibson and Gloria Galant Symon, with her suspicion that her father had molested her, Crissy becomes a topless dancer with few prosp~cts tor the future. Natasha Diana Soward gives a persuasive performance as the neurotic Crissy. Paul Anelli gives impassioned performance as Crissy's homosexual neighbor, and confidant. Anelli / stuns the audience when he disrobes, revealing a hot pinkplayboy bunny suit and black fish net stockings. Suzanne Hollis played Susan, the M.C. at the go-go bar, and Crissy's best friend. Hollis gave a believable and sensual performance as ·susan. Completing the cast were R. Keith Allaun as AI, Crissy's love interest; Michael Blakley as the nerdy but lovable Eric; Tom Parsons as the psychotic Ralphie and, Galen Williams as the Man. Nina Collins, Juliana Marie Hill, Sheryl LeBlanc, Ray Vakili played the rowdy bar patrons. The convincing go-go dancers are played by Maria SantanderCollet, Karen E. Miller, Julie Ann Lander. The complex lighting was the work of Matt Bolinger and the music, which enhanced the moods of the play, was provided by M. Lawrence Colla. Lindstom's directing abilities are pleasantly overwhelming in this handsome portrayal of a young girl's quest for success, love, and self esteem. And if that's not enough, there's a surprise ending. Over all-thumbs up-Bravo. General Admission: $5, Students: $3 , and Seniors $1.
The second annual City College fashion show raised $3,000- twice as much as the "All Male Fashion Show" held last fall. Proceeds from the Nov. 5 event will be used for City College's "Visiting Professor Program," Women's History Week and the Athletic Department. The fashion show was a City College Trust sponsored event, of which college president Dr. Byron R. Skinner is Executive Director. "In addition to the financial support for the college's academic programs, the activities of the Trust are designed to recruit friends for San Jose City College.

Dr. Suzanne Guiterrez, a new counselor at City College, coordinated the show along with the fashi on coordinator Grace Nelson and Shirley Chappell, and many other college and business volunteers.
