Student transcripts investigation sought

By Jim Boeckl

A San Jose City College instructor has asked the Santa Clara County Grand Jury and District Attorney to investigate an alleged illegal disclosure of student transcripts.

Jan Groenen, a Political Science instructor, wrote to the county officials March 4, charging that "provisions of the California Educational Code have been violated," and "student rights have been destroyed.

"This is a matter for the law, the law has been broken," he added.

Groenen said that at a Feb. 18 faculty and staff meeting City College President, Dr. Byron Skinner, stated that a number of student record s had been illegally obtained .

While Groenen is demanding an investigation, Dr. Skinner is demanding evidence.

"It's a serious offense, but you don't launch into anything without any proof.

week 1 events plan ned Next Saturday marks the beginning of Women's Week, and for the third straight year, City College has put together a variety of events.

Opening ceremonies begin at 10 a.m., Saturday in the College Theatre and run until noon.

They will be sponsored by City College and the Santa Clara County Commission on the Status of Women.

"The Women's Week (last year) was well received based on the number of people attending the various interesting panels," said Martha Lucey, public information assista~t for Community Education and Services.

Lucey added, "we anticipate as much, if not more, student interest in this year's Women's History Celebration."

Sally Reed, the County Executive of Santa Clara County, will receive the 1988 Janet Gray Hayes Award for Excellence, presented by City College at 11 :30 a.m.

English instructor Martha Kendall will speak on the life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, an

early Women's Rights activist, at 10 a.m. Monday, in the faculty lounge. Stanton was a leader of the Women's Movement in America and also demanded the right for women to vote in 1848.

Donna Myers of the American Cancer Society will give a discussion on "Breast Cancer Awareness" at 11 a.m.

During the week, the library will be exhibiting photographs by the students of City College photography instructor Linda Heiliger.

Women's Week will be discussed by Roberta Firetag at 6:30 a.m. Sunday March 13th, on KSJO 92.3FM and at 7:30 a.m. on KHTT 1500AM. She will also be on Channel 1l's DATEBOOK at 9:30a.m.

Students who attend the panel discussions will be eligible to receive one-half unit of credit, but will have to first contact Martha Kendall at 288-3705.

Everyone is invited to attend the weeklong activities, which are free of charge.

Instructors are also encouraged to bring their classes.

Family members were upset that someone had obtained his records without permission. Bonanno said that they told him that if the student's name is used in a negative way, legal action may result.

A student, Tom Saggau, said that he knows of several athletes who have been questioned by the • Mercury News.

In addition to Groenen's letters, there has been an anonymous statement circulating the campus which accuses a City College instructor of illegally obtaining student records, then delivering them to the Mercury News. · Admissions and Records Director Robert Brown said that releasing student transcripts without permission of the student is illegal. He added that the transcripts were not taken from his office, but said they could have been accessed from other computer terminals throughout the school.

This sort of thing will further divide the campus.

My job is to prevent this," said Skinner.

Copies of student athlete records have reportedly been given, without the students' permission, to San Jose Mercury News reporter Therese Iknoian.

According to Assistant Dean of Athletics Bert Bonanno , Iknoian claimed to have transcript copies and made allegations that ineligible students have been participating in school athletics.

"I explained to her that she has incomplete information by having only the transcripts, and you cannot draw a conclusion based only on those transcripts," Bonanno said.

Iknoian, who often writes about City College news, would not comment on whether or not she had copies of student transcripts.

Life of adventure

fflJ1dillws CPS Editorial

Teachers are vital t the end of the semester, speech instructor John Graham will retire from a 26-year teaching career at City College. He is_one of hundreds of thousands of teachers in the California educational system who have dedicated much of their lives toward enlightening and expanding the minds of countless students.

Whether they teach elementary school, high school, or at college level, teachers take on a job of great proportion and responsibility. They are working to make a contribution to society.

Unfortunately, our society tends to overlook that fact and, consequently, the efforts of teachers are largely taken for granted and significantly underrewarded.

This distortion is also apparent when we compare the salaries of teachers with the salaries of other professionals with comparable education. Pay levels for positions in engineering, management, or marketing are almost always higher than those for teachers.

In fact, there are many jobs that pay more than the average teaching wage and require less education.

That is not to say that people in those positions are necessarily overpaid, but merely that the teacher is relatively underpaid.

There are some who will argue that a teacher doesn't work as hard or as many hours as other professionals, and consequently should not be paid as much. But most teachers work much more than the hours they are credited for. There are always papers to grade, tests to write and lessons to prepare. Then there is the time necessary to help students who need special attention.

That brings us to the next subject the students.

A

The

Every student that a teacher encounters is an individual with individual needs, abilities, and attitudes.

Problems often arise when individuals are grouped together and processed as though they were all the same. A teacher has to realize this and work out these conflicts as they arise.

This is where good teachers do more than earn their keep. By making the extra effort to reach a student who has ability, but for one reason or another, isn't putting it to use.

Of course, not every student can be reached and when there is a failure, the teacher is an easy target for criticism. Parents often get vicious when they find out that "Billy is failing English." But nine times out of ten, "Billy is failing English" because: "He couldn't care less about it."

The point is, that while the teacher is expected to develop the student's intellect, it is the parents who are responsible for the development of their son's or daughter's character. And if that character is not good, then there is little that a teacher can do to make a difference.

It is a job that takes a special kind of person, one with patience, intelligence and compassion. But most of all it takes someone who believes in what they are doing and is willing to sacrifice something to achieve it.

If the old saying "It is better to give than to receive" is true, then teachers have it made. While they don't get big paychecks or the recognition like Johnny Carson, Joe Montana, or Eddie Van Halen, they are rewarded with something that many of us · can only imagine: the personal satisfaction that comes from turning on a light in another person's mmd.

By Jim Boeckl Did you ever lie outside a summer night, watching for shooting stars and wondering about the vastness of space, trying to imagine its limitlessness?

Did you ever lie awake in bed, unable to sleep because of a nagging uncertainty of the future, about life in general, and how are you to fit in the scheme of things?

If you answered yes to these questions, you are a person with interest and concern for the world in which you live.

Your curiosity can lead you to levels of awareness that will surprise you. It can lead you to a fuller and richer life, a life beyond just day-today existence.

There is a small catch, however. To go beyond the mediocrity of just existing, you must be willing to take a chance. To follow your curiosity, whether it is to look for meaning in life or find out what lies over the next ridge, requires some risk.

Only those who accept that risk and follow their instincts have a chance of satisfying their curiosity.

Helen Keller' summed it up best when she declared, "Life is either a great adventure, or it is nothing."

So there you sit, thinking about all the adventures in your life. One or two stand out in your mind as special moments. You know what they are: those magic moments when you performed flawlessly. And afterward you didn't feel good. You felt

having not tried.

Here we are in the beginnings of college. Hopefully, everyone is here oftheir own will. Here is a chance for adventure, adventure potentially beyond our wildest imaginations.

I'm talking about exploration into the world of thought and knowledge, of undetermined boundaries, innumerable possibilities for these shining moments of r~velation and consciousness, if you are willing to risk the effort.

I might also point out that college is not the end of the search for knowledge. It is the beginning.

It will not answer all your questions. In fact, it will tend to fill you with more questions.

That may not sound too appealing at the moment, but don't despair. The purpose of college is not so much to answer your questions as it is to show you ways of figuring out answers for yourself. It's just preparation for the adventures of the real world.

There are a lot of people in the world who claim to know all the answers, and they are more than willing to share (or impose) their ideas. Many of them are charlatans looking for power and wealth.

The important thing to remember is that each of us has the potential ability to think for ourselves, and to make our own decisions based on those thoughts. It's often a hard process. It takes a lot of effort to develop and use that ability.

But looking at the altergreat! native, letting other people With these shining mo- control our lives, can usually ments clear in your mind, I'd provide motivation to those of like to make a suggestion. us who value our freedom .

Reaction to flyers Editor: On March 2, 1988, I arrived at SJCC to find notices around campus asserting that one or more teachers were, at the very least, racist in their classroom lectures. The teachers were mentioned by name.

I take the charge of racism seriously and like to investigate such allegations myself. However, when a person or persons do not have the integrity to sign

their name(s) to a document accusing another person(s) of unacceptable conduct (in their opinion), J see no reason to waste my time.

In America, we were given the right to face our accuser. Faceless, nameless people putting up notices around campus reminds me of racism practiced by people in white sheets.

What happened to the dragon that lived in the shed?

Editor's Note: The children of the child development center had a cardboard dragon that was made by the children that were at the center 5 years ago. One of the instructors took the dragon out of the shed in the play yard and brought it in before she left. When the children returned the next day the dragon had vanished. The children were then asked what happened to the dragon. Here are some of their answers.

with the idea that young adults cannot participate in free press. The rights that are said to be naturally born have now been taken away by our Supreme Court until the student has graduated from high school. The Supreme Court cannot believe that in the three months between high school graduation and the first day of college the journalism student is suddenly worthy of the right to free press. The ruling applies to high schools on down, but it would not answer the question if it would apply at the college level. The twelfth grade is the stopping point for now.

The community newspaper has long been a public forum where the voice, large or small, can be heard. But now the high school student has been banned from speaking his opinion or concerns (teenage pregnancy and divorce just being two).

The competi t10ns showcased the talent of marketing students and instructors, among them Dr. Ross Atkinson, who founded the City College program 34 years ago.

'It is not who wins that is important; it's the participation that is," said Dr. Atkinson.

Alumni of the Marketing Program are also a major influence. In addition to their business commitments, some alumni return to the program to assist in the education and training of new students. An example of the loyalty was the strong support they gave to the students who participated in the state competitions .

Gerard Aldama, a night student who was unable to attend the competitions, said "the key to our success was the help and coaching of the alumni and former participants."

Their was no clear leader until Winston Bell slam dunked the ball with five seconds left in the game to give the Jags a 69-641 victory. Andre Brooks (19 points) and Bell (14 points) led the Jags.

However, against Skyline, the intensity was fierce, the pace was fast, and the pressure was on.

For most of the game, the pressure was on Skyline but they kept their cool, opening valves and releasing the pressure with a couple quick baskets.

The Jags held control through the second half until Bell fouled out late in the game. Still, the Jags led 7670 with two minutes left to play. Little did they know, however, that they would not score another .point again- for the r~st of the

Jaguars Matt Sample(42) and Andre Brooks fight for a rebound in the 77-76 loss to season.

Skyline worked the ball around to Manu who gently raye.<J it in for two points.

Then the Jags made a fatal mistake as Skyline stole the inbounds pass and scored another quick two points as the shooter was fouled. The . free throw cut the lead to one _point, 76-75.

The Jags were all butterfingers on their next trip up the court too as Skyline applied full court pressure.

The ball ricocheted off a shin and the Trojans took control.

Skyline set up a play and missed the shot but, once again, the Jags committed a foul. The shooter missed the front end of a one and one free throw, how-ever, and San Jose took control with one minute left.

Tracksters try for 16th title

, By Doug Thurman

The last time the City College track team lost a duel or triangular meet, President Nixon was sinking in Watergate and the Beatles were headed for a breakup.

So the question is, who's going to take second in the Golden Gate Conference?

With only 25 members to work with, compared to the normal amount of 40, Head Coach Steve Haas isn't thinking the way most coaches would-pessimistically-with such a limited amount of members. Instead, Baas said that in the back of his mind he sees another perfect record at the end of the Year. Can you blame him?

"It'll happen (losing a meet) ... some time. It could be this year, but I think we have enough talent to be Undefeated."

To do that, the Jags will ~ave to get by a !earn Haas Predicts to be thetr toughest competitor, besides West Yalley, as they take on-Diablo Vaii~y College at 2:30 p.m.

on Friday on the Vikings home track. San Francisco City College will also be competing in the league opening triangular meet.

The Jaguars virtually swept through their first two meets with a tri-meet victory over Santa Rosa and Contra Costa and the latest a 97-52 win on the road over American River College, who traditionally has been a major track force in Northern California.

"The kids were really competitive in nearly every event," said tenth year coach Haas. "We had some really great performances."

One encouragi _n g pertormance to Haas was from pole vaulter Yic Pelayo, who turned in a 14'8" firstplace vault. Pelayo also had a 15'8" vault earlier this year, an achievement Haas~ called a "great mark for any (junior college) athlete."

"He's really going to be a great performer," Haas said, "and I _think he's going to get better · as the season progresses."

Freshman Adrian Oliver

turned in a 2:0-0.8 time to take first place in the half-mile event which was doubly encouraging to Haas considering that Oliver is the Jags' .number two half-miler.

Tom Saggue, who was sixth in the state last year in the 800 meter run, finished ahead of the pack with a time of 4:04.4 in the 1,500 meter run.

Distance runner Fernando Balderes outlasted his 5,000 meter competitors with a time of 15:24.2.

Second year long-jumper Harold Rucker leapt his way to first place with a 23' 7 l/4" mark.

"We've got a much smaller team but at the some time we're going to be a real good championship team. We're going to be good w!1en we get to league championships and even farther," said Haas, explaining that it doesn't take a large team to do well in championship type meets.

The race is on for second place. ·

Working the clock down, the Jags looked for the sure shot. An opening along the baseline produced and and a Jaguar player drove to the hoop and was fouled. With the crowd going bananas and the pressure on, the (unidentified) Jaguar player mis-sed both free throws and the Trojans grabbed the rebound. It was do-or-die time.

With six seconds remaining the Trojans missed a driving jump shot but McKinney wasn't blocked out and edged in for the two handed tip in.

"San Jose was flat last Tues-day and I told our

guys that won't happen again," said Sky-line Head Coach Peter Pontacq.

"They (the Jags) are 10 points better on their home court just as we are 10 points better on our home court. If we had panicked, we would have lost. I'm real proud of our soph·omores · for the leadership they provided.

It's been a great season .

I'm just glad it's still going."

So, now the Trojans go onto ,the State Tournament as the No. 3 seed and the Jags go home wonderi ng how this one got away.

Right off the bat

Baseball team loses No. 2 rank

By Keith GlWola and Doug Thurman

The pre-season ranking was No. 2 in Northern California for the City College men's baseball team, but it didn't remain that way for very long.

The Jaguars, who play at West Valley on Saturday, lost their No. 2 ranking in their first two games of the regular season with losses to Chabot College and Laney College, stumbling to their firs-t 0-2 start in several years.

Chabot looked as if they should have been the No. 2 team, instead of the Jags, in the league opener at Chabot.

The Gladiators jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, beating the Jaguars 16-6 in the nine-inning affair.

The Jaguars, in their home opener, fell behind in the first inning once again as Laney got out to a 2-0 lead off Jag starter Albert Cardona, and achieved a 4-3 win.

The Jags never quite got the handle on Laney pitcher Rob Saitz, who went the full nine innings, but it wasn't as

though they didn't have their chances.

In the bottom of the sixth and a 3-0 lead, the Jags put together a succession of four hits, putting two runs on the ooara.

Laney received its final run of the game in the top of the eighth inning. · With a runner on second, Cardona gave way to K~rry Woodson who's second pitch went hopping over second baseman Jeff Borgese's head, scoring the runner.

After an unsuccessful steaf attempt, Woodson fanned the next batter and the bid to comeback was on.

Juan Rojo lead off the bottom of the eight with his third hit of the game and Borgese followed with the same.

But, after a sacrifice fly moved Rojo to third, Borgese attempted to steal second, which proved to be the fatal attraction that sent the Jaguars away losers as the throw from the catcher was intercepted by Saitz.

Catching Rojo off guard, Saitz threw to third and easily put out Rojo for the second out.

'As Is' packs a wallop

By Lori Cambridge

Paul Anelli _pl~ys Rich and Tom Ammon is ::iaul.

"As Is," which opened last week in the Campus Theater, is shocking, confusing, loud, funny and . touch mg.

It is an energetic and moving Drama Department production with an important message about AlDS. Paul Anelli plays Rich, a homosexual who contracts AIDS. Tom Ammon plays Saul, Rich's friend and former lover. The rest of the cast plays multiple supporting roles.

The play revolves around Rich and Saul, their relationship with each other, and how they react to Rich having AIDS. These reactions range from denial and anger to acceptance and defeat. The rest of the cast

family members~ friends, lovers and doctors.

The dialogue is realistic, and the acting is excellent.

The music and the lighting combined for effective transt· tt' ons from scene to scene, and an occasional joke helped to lifr the heavy mood of the play.

One small glitch in the production was that the actors seemed to be almost shouting.

Also, two or three actors sometimes spoke lines at the same time, which tended to be confusing. .

One cautionary note: because of the subject matter and some of the strong language used, parent discretion should be used when considering taking children to see "As Is." "As Is" will be presented at 8 p.m. tonight, Friday and

Theater and at 2 p.m. Sunday March 13. Then the play will move downtown to the Citv Lights Theater on 70 North Almaden in San Jose at R:OO M h 24 26 T' k p.m. arc - · IC ets are $5 and students and Seniots recetve a discount.

The benefit performances on Saturday for the ARIS Project and Necessities and More will be followed by a panel discussion on AIDS. Panels will consist of representative s from: The ARIS Project; Necessities and More; The American Red Cross; Senator Gary Hart's Select Committee on AIDS; the Mayor's Office of San Jose; and the Santa Clara County Health Department.

Questions from the audience arc welcomed.

By Julie King Scholarships are like jobs-there are plenty to go around if you know where to look. But look fast, the deadline for this year is approaching fast.

Unfortunately, few students know where to turn when it comes to getting money for college.

"There are a number of scholarships available, but the students just aren't applying," said Counselor Zenolia Gibson, City College's resident scholarship advisor.

Ms. Gibson is responsible for putting out the Scholarship Newsletter,

which is distributed to teachers for posting in their classrooms. Students can also obtain copies by request.

Though there are many types of scholarships, most can be broken down into three major categories: needbased, merit-based, and ethnicity-based. These categories, however, are often broken down into subcategories and combined with one another.

City College offers 30 major scholarships in all of these areas; some offer only one award, while others are multiple grants. However, after the application deadline

of March 25, no more scholarships will be offered until next year.

Here is a list of a few that are available. Only the basic qualifying requirement is listed; most have additional requirements.

The College Art Gallery will be displaying "Images and Objects", March 21 through April 15, featuring the works of three City College artists: Brenda Aaron, Steve Salisian, and Michael Van Cleemput.

The group show will begin with an opening reception on March 24 at 5. The reception is open to the public and will include refreshments and music until it ends at 9.

The works to be displayed vary from non-traditional ceramics to "solarized" black and white photographs.

Michael Van Cleemput has studied art since 1959. His resume lists several area universities and art institutes where he has displayed many forms of his work in student shows.

The particular pieces he will be showing involve such processes as "Raku Crackle Glaze".

This technique results in a cracked surface design on the glazed vessel.

Other unique processes were utilized in the

photography of Steve Salisian and Brenda Aaron.

"Solarization" and "selective toning" are two techniques to be observed in the exhibits of

thes~

two artists.

Steve Salisian's work will display a series of images from recent trips to China and Bali, Indonesia.
