The sound of silence

By Le'Vinia K. Loyd The photo on the left was an entry by City College Times photographer Luzmaria Martinez in the on-the-spot feature photo contest held last weekend during the Journalism Association of Community Colleges State Conference.

The two -day conference, held in Fresno, consisted of various writing and pnbtography contests, plus workshops on reporting, editing and photography.

Martinez received a thirdplace award in the bring-in photo compe tit ion for a p icture taken during the Pope's visit to Monterey, and the staff garnered a fifth-place award for front-page layout.

In addition, former Times editor Brenda Yesko received a fifth-place award in the news story category . The story, published in October of last year, concerned the baseball team being•put on probation because of a recruiting violation.

SJCC athletics department cries 'foul!'

By Jim Boeckl A recent three-part San Jose Mercury News report on City College athletics has met with mixed reaction on campus.

The report charged that the academic education of student-athletes has been neglected, and that rules were violated relating to recruiting, eligibility,· and special treatment to players. It also suggested strict reforms.

The athletic department was accused more specifically wi th recruiting studentathl etes from out of the district, encouraging athletes

to load up on physical education classes where the grades awarded were high, controlling athletes' financial aid money, allowing athletes to get credit for taking summer classes that meet at conflicting times, and allowing ineligible players to compete.

Bert Bonanno, Assistant Dean of Athletics, head football coach Howard Gay, and basketball coach Percy Carr received the brunt of the charges leveled by reporter Therese lknoian.

Bonanno said that the charges are unfounded and

that the report was sensationalized.

Coach Gay said Wednesday that a small group of instructors is involved in a power struggle with the current administration, and that student-athletes and coaches are being played as pawns.

"An issue has been created to unseat the three incumbents of the [San Jose/Evergreen Community College district] board of trustees," he added.

Coach Carr declined comment.

A statement signed by ten . basketball players, circulated

Wednesday, said "We ... want Jose/Evergreen Community it clearly understood that we College District trustees have only want our parents and asked Dr. Byron Skinner, Coach Carr speaking for us.

By Matt Barba ·on Sunday, March 13, I. King Jordan became the first deaf. ,president of Gallaudet University, the nation's only liberal arts college for the deaf.

This appointment proved to be a milestone.

"What it me~ns to the students, it means to the deaf community at large ... and it opens up new horizons for deaf people," Jordan said on ABC-TV's "Good Morning, America."

As students protests for a deaf president began on March 6, I felt little compassion for those hearingimpaired individuals who seemed overzealous about a

Editorial

Who's 'out of bounds?'

A three-part San Jose Mercury N:ews report, subtitled "SJCC Athletics-Out of Bounds?", accused the City College athletics department of neglecting student-athletes' academic education in favor of sports.

The story, written by reporter Therese Iknoian, ran on the front page for three consecutive days last week and filled more than three pages with photos and text.

The Assistant Dean of athletics and two coaches were accu ~ed of violating athletics policies, including: recruiting from out of the district, giving special treatment to players, and not following ruies governing the academic standards of student-athletes.

With the quality of education being the main concern at any school, statements suggesting that education is bei!lg compromised demand. attention. These allegations should be investigated.

In this case, however, there is more to consider. There are questions of political conflicts within the school and of the methods used by the Mercury News to present and support its statements.

Head football coach Howard Gay, one of those accused in the report, said that the athletic department has become a pawn in a power struggle between a small group of instructors and the current administration.

In addition, various letters and flyers have been circulating on campus recently that suggest extreme differences of opinion.

Then there is the Mercury News report. It is sensationalistic, some of the information is inaccurate, and some of the people interviewed have complained of being quoted out of context.

There is also the question of how the reporter gained access to confidential student transcripts.

Even if some of the charges are found to be true, was it really necessary to present the story as if there was widespread rules violations?

For- example, the headlines of the report attacked "San Jose City College Athletics,"

Letters Policy The Times

but the text only mentioned football and basketball.

Sensationalism may sell newspapers, but it can cause people to lose their objectivity.

Next, there is a question of accuracy in reporting. Millard Hampton, former Olympic track star, and City College student and track coach, has complained of being quoted out of context.

He said that the reporter had taken selective parts of his statements and added other statements that changed the meaning · completely.

The reporter also wrote that Hampton had never graduated. He, in fact, graduated from City College in 1976 with a degree in Liberal Arts.

If Hampton was so disgusted with City College, as was reported, why would he allow the school to periodically keep his Olympic medals?

The reporter refers throughout the story to student transcripts to corroborate evidence of wrongdoing. It is interesting that she would not comment on how she got them.

According to Director of Admissions and Records Robert Brown, the reporter most likely got the transcripts from students who gave them to her, or from a source within the school that illegally gained access to them.

At least one former student has complained to the City College administration that a Mercury News reporter had contacted him and asked him questions based on his transcripts.

Brown also said that the transcripts the reporter has may not show complete enough information to draw the conclusions she has drawn. They may not show credit from other schools.

Without playing down the importance of quality education for all students at City College, it appears that the athletics department may not be the only one which has stepped "out of bounds."

Hopefully, an investigation of the allegations will tell the story of what has gone on, but it will have to be an objective one.

justice. Only then did I begin to understand the reasoning behind the students' affirmation.

It makes perfect sense that the president of N.O.W. (National Organization for Women) is a woman. It is also understandable that Caesar Chavez leads the largely Hispanic Farm Workers' Union.

Furthermore, shouldn't the International Olympic Committee consist of representatives from around the world?

Why, then, should the deaf students of Gallaudet Uni versity be deprived of just representation? I am sure that Ms. Zinser would have made a fine president, but who

Why all the fuss about who would be the next president of a university for the deaf?

Does anyone really care if this new president can hear?

The board of trustees originally selected Elizabeth Ann Zinser as the school's eighth president. I felt she was a capable candidate; the fact that she could hear and didn't know sign language was irrelevant.

As the isolated campus protest turned into a widely broadcast, seven-day duration of dissent, the world suddenly "heard" the deaf cry for

I think that too often, those who are handicapped are viewed by others as content individuals who have only superficial needs. We forget that the handicapped (in this case, the deaf) have in-depth needs in all areas.

I salute the courage and persistence of those students who stood firm and fought for their choice of leadership.

Those students taught the rest of us, ironically, how to listen to their needs.

The night life at SJCC

By Matt Barba As the sun sets over the horizon and the moonlight begins to illuminate the sky, life on campus takes on a new atmosphere as well.

Day life on campus is a rather typical scene. It's a bright, busy, and fast-paced environment where students and personnel go about their daily activities.

As they leave school and retire at home for the night, the evening crowd of students and personnel · arrive and begin their school life amidst a more quiet, slower-paced, and more calm campus.

Life for the 6200 day students seems to differ from that of the 5100 evening students. The most significant differences are in the employment and marital status.

According to Robert Brown, the District Director of Admissions and Records, 85 percent of evening students are employed, usually fulltime. In contrast, 72 percent of day students are employed, usually in a part-time capacity.

The average age of all students is 29.3. The average· for day students is 27, and the average for night students is 28, with females in the evening averaging two years older than the males. There is one student who is 84 years old.

It's easy to see why so many evening students have full -time jobs. About 47 per-

cent of these students are married, while about 40 percent of day students are married. "The trend is toward more single students," said Brown.

"I see a lot more yawning going on at night than in the day," said Elizabeth Burgos, 24, an Administration of Justice major. "These are older, working students who have decided to pursue careers. · They do less socializing than day students, and are more interested in class discussions," she added.

Apparently, the more hectic lives of evening students does not seem to affect the grades students receive. A!s are equally distributed (19 percent) to both day and evening students. 15 percent of day students get B's, and 14 percent of evening students receive B's.

The only significant variation may be with the 13 percent of day students receiving C's, while nine percent earning C's at night.

However, evening students are more apt to accept the credit/no credit option than day students.

Life on campus has a darker side, literally.

"Students may not feel as secure on campus at night, but that's because of the darkness," said Ed Dunn, Chief of District Police. "Officers feel we're running a pretty safe

operation here," added Dunn.

Chief Dunn is the man who heads the department of seven sworn and armed police officers, and nine uniformed and unarmed traffic officers.

While parking is a problem both day and night, stolen property is the department's biggest problem.

"More thefts occur during the day, but that's because there are more people on campus at that time, and they are younger. At night, students are older, more professional , mature-thinking, and more aware of crime," said Officer Calvin Thomas.

Both Dunn and Thomas feel that while most students do not feel threatened on campus, prevention is the best protection, day and night.

Students who feel unsafe can request an escort to their car.

While speaking with several people, two words kept surfacing when referring to evening students: "mature" and "serious."

"Evening students are more mature. The dropout ·rate is no greater or no less than day students, but evening students are more highly-motivated.

They're strictly here because they want to be here," said Mr. Brown.

He added , "Instructors generally enjoy teaching more in the evening than in the day because the students are more serious and ask better questions."

7 Sporis Third place will be first for Jag·golfers The Times • Thursday,April 14, 1988 •

By Doug Thurman Sports Editor

Head Coach Harley Dow must have forgotten how it feels to fmish in third place, but who can blame him? · In his 23 years as the golf coach he has never finished below second, accumulating countless titles and championships along the way.

But, if something miraculous doesn't happen soon, Dow and his young Jaguar team will get a taste of being the second runner up in the Camino Norte Conference.

As of today, Chabot College is currently leading the league with 45 total points,

followed by San Joaquin Delta College with 43 points.

"It's really kind of funny.

It's like it's meant to be," said Dow. "We're just destined to be third (this year)."

The Jags, who are 11-4 overall in dual matches and have 31 points, have placed third in all four tournaments they have participated in this year. With two conference tournaments remaining, drastic measures must be taken to overcome Delta.

The Jaguars finished third in a conference tournament on Monday at Del Rio Country Club. Chabot, who took first in Northern California last year, shared the victory

with Delta with equal. scores of 387. The Jags finished with 395.

"We had real good efforts out of a couple of kids," claimed Dow, "but we had two really bad scores... " Charley King, a freshman from Leland High School, was the medalist in the tournament with a one stroke, 75, lead over the field.

"It was just a super effort (from King)," Dow said.

Jeff Grounds, who until recently was the Jags number one player and the only returner from last year's championship team, turned in a 76 on the day, and Pat Boggini had a 77.

playoffs, and two more teams receive at-large bids to the playoffs, one of which Dow is counting on.

"We have a good shot for one of those at-large teams.

We beat Monterey earlier this year, which was their only loss of the year," he said.

Monterey won the state championship last year and is currently ranked #1 in Northem California.

With two more conference tournaments remaining, (Apr. 21 in Stockton and Apr. 25 in Merced) the Jaguars will have to play the waiting game, along with a better-than-third-place game of golf.

Boggini, who just recently moved into the number one slot, has been Dow's most consistent player.

"He (Boggini) has played a a real steady game of golf.

It's really pleasant to see that happen (coming from a freshman)," Dow said.

Other members include #3 man Andrew Santos, a sophomore transfer from San Diego State; #4 player Fred Rautmann of Hollister; #5 player Bob Greggory; Derrick Gustufson of Oregon and Mark Richmond from Santa Teresa High School.

The two top teams from each of the four NorCal conferences go on to the NorCal

Baseball team wins 5th in a row Times staff report No one said it was going to be easy for the Jaguar baseball team to get back on the track of success, but that's exactly what it's beginning to look like.

After an losing their first two games of the season and eventually finding themselves with a 3-6 record, the Jaguars, who will venture to San Francisco City College on Saturday, have turned the tables on the rest of the Golden Gate Conference with a five game winning streak.

The streak, which moves the Jags record to 8-6, includes wins over Chabot College and Laney College, who are currently tied for the for league lead with 9-5 records.

Laney, who has beaten the Jaguars twice this season, couldn't get the handle on the whirlwind style of pitching used by Head Coach Barry

Woodhead last Saturday, in an 8-3 victory over the Eagles.

Albert Cardona started off on the hill for the Jags, and from there, Woodhead used five pitchers who all but shut down the Eagle offense. The Jag hurlers relinquished only one earned run while scatering eight hits.

After an unearned run in the top of the first off Cardona, the Jags got their offense rolling in the second inning with two runs off Eagle starter Rob Saitz, who was 5-0 before the game.

After Kevin Shaffer held the Eagles scoreless in the top of the third inning, the Jags u~leashed for three more runs. Steve Bosco led things off with a double and first baseman Rob Castaneda blasted a towering home run to right field.

After the Eagles scored two runs off of Todd Manly in the top of the fourth to put

Softball team places second out of 20

By Keith Gaxiola

The City College Softball team is gearing up for the end of the season Shaughnessy playoffs, and with a second place finish at the 20-team Napa Invitational last weekend, they are right on track.

The Lady Jags won five of the six games they played behind the pitching of Cary Gessell. The only loss was to the host team Napa, where in a few instances the umpires made some questionable calls.

After defeating Modesto 73, the Jaguars went on to win a close game over Sierra 2-1, defeated both De Anza 6-1 and American River 6-1, and shutout San Joaquin Delta 30, before losing the final to Napa 4-2.

Shelli Eller, who hit a solo home run against De Anza, Jana Paiz, and Cary Gessell performed in such a fashion that they were all selected to the All Tournament Team.

"Every one hit real good," said Eller ,"and lately we have been playing together as a team."

In the College of the Sequoias Tournament last month the Lady Jags placed in the top six of the 32-team field.

Currently, the team has a league record of 4-5 for a third place standing in the Golden Gate Conference.

They will play today at 3:00 p.m. at San Francisco City College.

The Jags will test their skills in another tournament this weekend at Sierra College. Following tl1at, their next home game will be at 3:00p.m. on Tuesday, April 26 against CJ-.abot. This gan1e will also be ,heir last game of the season before the Shaughnessy Playoffs.

the score at 5-3, three Jag pitchers came on to finish the nine-inning affair, while the Jaguar hitters collected three more insurance runs.

Geoff Samuels, Scott Erickson and Shawn Rohrwild gave up three hits collectively, while striking out five through the last four innings.

Jeff Borgese, who has already signed a letter of intent with the University of Miami, went 2 for 3 on the day, and freshman Matt Marks collected three RBI's.

The Jags posted a 7-4 win over the Gladiators of Chabot on Apr. 7, once again using a whirlwind pitching staff.

The Jaguars jumped out to a 4-0 lead by the third inning, and never looked back.

The game proved to be a good day for offensive production as the Jags collected 11 hits.

Cardona, Shaffer and Samuels split the first seven innings of the game, as Samuels earned the win.

Erickson, who has a scholarship to the University of Arizona, and Tom Myers split the last two, with Myers ending the game by striking out the side.

'... Wind' blows on campus

By Julie King The classic play "Inherit the Wind" will wind down the San Jose City College Drama Department's 87-88 season when it opens on Thursday, April 21 , with the first of 12 performances.

The play, written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee in 1950, is an adaptation of one of America's most controversial cases, the Scopes Monkey Trial.

The City College production is being directed by George Forrester , drama instruetor, and co-directed by Jeff Risk.

"I think it's going to be a really, really exciting performance," Forrester said. "I'll bet you they [the audience] will be cheering.

The primary leads are being played by James Fast, as Cates; Van Phill ip s, as Drummond; and William Bouch, as Brady.

Ticket prices for "Inherit the Wind" are: $5 for general admission, $3 for students, and $1 for senior citizens.

In this historic courtroom

battle, which took place in 1925, a young teacher, John Scopes, challenged the fundamentalist religion movement by teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution to his high school biology class.

Represented by the infamous Clarence Darrow, Scopes defended his right to teach Darwin's theory against the entire community and their elected counsel, W ill iam Jennings Bryan , a well known religious crusader and three-time presidential candidate.

The jury ruled against Scopes, saying that the Creation, as told in the .Bible, is the true origin of man.

Henry Dn1mmond, and William Jennings Bryan is now Colonel Matthew Brady.

Other characters names were changed as well, but the actual story remains the same.

"This play is not about Darwin's theory and the fundamentalist position," said Forrester. "What this play is about is the infringement that can be placed on people's ability to think and speak out.

It's a freedom of choice battle."

However, the trial itself is largely responsible for the course the American educational system has taken regarding the separation between church and state.

Over 60 years after the actual trial, the plot has gone through a few minor changes.

In the play, John Scopes is called Bertram Cates , Clarence Darrow is named

As an actor and director. he has always gone ~o the edge, taking us places we'd never seen before. Easy Rider, Blue Velvet, Rivers Edge.

Now; in 1988, we find director Dennis Hopper in the streets of Los Angeles.

In a war zone where gang members and innocent people alike are killed over territorial emblems of red and blue. Over COLORS. And again, he takes us places we've never seen before with the first realistic motion picture about the war against street gangs.

To do it he has brought together an extraordinary cast and crew. All of them sharing a fierce devotion to the director's vision. And leading the cast, two motion picture actors of unparalleleo. ·ntensity:

Continued from Page 1 Hampton said that his statements were cut short and placed in an entirely different context.

In addition, the report said that Hampton never graduated.

"I graduated in 1976 with a degree in liberal arts," he said.

The reforms suggested by the report follow those adopted by other community colleges. They include providing special academic advisors for student-athletes, offering less credit for physical education classes along with more emphasis on academic classes, creating more stringent eligibility rules, and increasing the power of the Chancellor's office to have more control of community college athl~tics.

In the 1960's an actor/director went looking for Americaand created a new kind of film. The man was Dennis Hopper.

Easy Rider was the film that defined an era.

Athletics-----the report's accuracy and the methods used by the reporter.

One popular question is how the reporter .got the confidential student transcripts that she described.

Robert Brown, Director of Admissions and Records, said that there are four levels of computer security that protect the confidentiality of student records, but that certain school employees have access to the records.

The reporter has declined to comment on how she acquired the records.

Questions were also raised about the accuracy of the report. Millard Hampton, a former student and part-time · track coach at City College, was quoted in the report and is angry about it.
