SJCC grad wins gold Phillips becomes college's fourth medalist

By Gilbert Gardner Andre Phillips, 400-meter hurdles gold medal ist of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul, is the third track star from San Jose City College to attain such heights.

"We have become the first community college to have three gold medal winners," said Athletic Director Bert Bonanno.

City College has produced an Olympic gold-medal winner in each of the past three decades.

Lee Evans (400 meters) in 1968 and Millard Hampton (4x100 relay)in 1976 alsowon01ympicgold.

David Lout (shot put) captured a bronze medal in the '84 Olympics at Los Angeles.

Phillips, who hopes to become an assistant track coach at City College, ended a dynasty.

s s 1 I,

agraduateofUCLA, was quoted as saying after the race. "I've been chasing him (Moses) since 1979."

"I went hard as I planned. When I went over the eighth hurdle and nobody was there I knew I had it. I heard him (silver medalist El Hadji Ba) on the tenth hurdle, but I had enough left to hold him off."

Phillips' time of 49.47, set in 1979, still stands as the school and National Junior College record. He was the world ' s No. 1 ranked hur-

"Of all the distractions that you have in !he games," Bonanno said, "where you are placed is important, too.

"When the announcer said lane 6, I said, 'that's crazy-he'll love lane 6 .... ' Obviously it turned out to be to his benefit."

Bonanno remembers Phillips as a very bright, aggressive, and strong young man with a good sense of humor.

"He always demanded perfection of himself. I remember him hitting the hurdle with his hand when he didn't do well. I thought he'd break his hand."

Phillips "took a modem dance class here before it was fashionable," said Bonanno. "He did that for flexibility.... He still spends a lot of time here."

Part of the time Phillips spends on campus is with Head Track Coach Steve Haas.

Haas has watched Phillips mature-not only as an athlete but as a person.

"It was exciting to see him fi- · nallv get some of the rewards for all the years of effort that he's put in," said Haas.

Phillips came to City College viaSilverCreekHigh School. When he arrived he was the Central Coast Section and state champion in the See Gold Medalist, page ~

The sounds of Carmel's surt and seagulls will be joined by the sound of discussion at the fourth annual San Jose/Evergreen Community College District Board Retreat, October 28 and 29.

According to Paulette Warnago, Marketing Director at San Jose City College, "The retreat is an opportunity to spend an overnight session with people who represent the two community college campuses of the district. We are not going to be making decisions or setting policy. Instead, we will be discussing issues of importance to everyone, and arriving at key things to recommend to the board."

The theme of this year's Board Retreat will be "the elusive concept of quality." Participants will be discussing quality in education how to maintain quality standards, how to achieve even greater quality in the future and, finally, just what · constitutes quality.

The retreat will be held at the Carmel Valley Inn. Members of the Board of Trustees as well as 60 administrators, students, faculty and staff from both San Jose City College and Evergreen Valley College

will be attending.

Dr. Byron Skinner, President of San Jose City College, said, "I expect the representatives to take a global view of what is happening in higher education, of what we should be doing and whether or not we are pursuing the right avenues to reach our goals."

Richard Moore, the Superintendent and President of Santa Monica Junior College will be the featured speaker. According to Charlotte Powers, board member and charrman of the retreat committee, "Richard Moore has many quality programs at his college and comes highly recommended as a leader in the field of community colleges."

When looking for a speaker, the committee wanted. someone known for quality programs as well as possessing both a positive outlookandagoodbackground. Moore fit the bill.

"Richard Moore has a vision of what he thinks quality education in the community college is. We want to see if we agree and take a look at ourselves," said Wamago.

According to Peggy Harrington, classified council president at SJCC, "The purpose of this retreat is to search for quality in education

==--'

and how we can improve the quality program already existing at City College and at Evergreen. We will be discussing where we are going as a community college in terms of providing the opportunity for students to meet their education and career goals."

"The community colleges reflect the community and its needs.

If we say 'this is a quality program' - what does that mean to everyone?

We need to look at what quality is in the area of services to the students, instructional and academic services, vocational and community programs, student support services as well as the buildings and overall educational environment." said Charlotte Powers.

The administrative staff is made up of "idea men", who are supposed to brainstorm and come up with what to do in terms of the school.

The support staff is made up of anyone who is not an administrator, faculty or a student. They are the . "doers," and they are the ones who have to figure out how to actually do specific jobs.

According to Harrington, "It is important to have an exchange of see retreat page 8

DEBATE Editorial

Truth in advertising?

"Advertising is legalized lying."

-H.G. Wells If what Wells said is true, it seems that advertising and politics are natural bedfellows. Indeed, this campaign season has seen a huge increase in the number of television and radio commercials that intentionally distort and misrepresent the facts in order to " persuade" the voter.

For example, George Bush has attempted to pin the horribly contaminated condition of Boston Harbor on Michael Dukak:is. The average voter might not realize that a large part of Boston's sewage system was built in the 1700s, when sewage treatment meant simply getting the stuff out of the house.

Furthermore, why dump the problem in Dukakis's lap? As governor, he had almost no jurisdiction over the harbor. How could he clean it up?

The distortion of facts is not exclusive to the candidates, unfortunately. One has only to look at the campaigns being waged over Proposition 99, the tax on tobacco.

Anti-99 ads show an " undercover agent," who tells us that if the proposition passes, then cigarette smuggling will begin, taxing police strength in important areas.

Another ad claims that the smuggling will

Letters Policy

if the proposition passed.

The same situation is present in the ads for the various auto insurance initiatives.

The principals in each ad extol the virtues of the proposition they are speaking for, and, at the end, in tiny print, we see the insurance companies are paying for the ads.

Advertising like this flies in the face of the very principle of democracy. In a nation where education is the key to national integrity, the politicos and ad men realize that 30 seconds of television can easily sway someone who prefers to get his truth from "the tube" than to actually learn what is being proposed on his own.

Perhaps voters in this election will finally realize that ads like these say more about the candidates and propositions than meets the eye. Attacks that are intended to deceive the voter more often than not expose the attacker as well.

The Times welcomes comment from the public on subjects of interest to the campus community. Letters to the Editor and Viewpoint articles should be submitted in typewritten form, double-spaced If possible. Handwritten submissions will be acceptable if readable. Letters and Viewpoints will be edited for style and length, and should be signed. Names may be withheld under special circumstances.

We especially encourage comment by students, faculty, staff and administrators on matters of general interest, regardless of whether or not they have been discussed in the Times.

Cross Word Puzzle

.N ews in the news

By Joe Medina

Recently, someone showed me a Bloom County comic strip in which Opus, the strip's resident penguin, is trying to decide which of the three networks to watch for news.

Opus names his choices: Peter Jennings, Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw.

I foundmyselfreminiscingabout their predecessors, like David Chancellor and Walter Cronkite, and eventually comparing them to their present-day replacements.

As I compared Cronkite to Rather, I realized that, except for his retirement and his pessimistic declaration of the Vietnam War, Walter Cronkite wasn' t actually a participant in a news story.

Dan Rather has been a participant in several. In fact, the media in general has been part of the news.

When the first of the kidnappings in Beirut occurred, a news conference was marked not by any revelations or lack of them, but by the chaotic and overwhelming crowd of reporters and photographers.

The press was accused of not respecting one's right to privacy when the Miami-Herald discovered that presidential candidate Gary Hart spent considerable time with model Donna Rice.

Such magazines as Time and Newsweek have been sued because a news story angered certain people.

CBS News was also taken to court for similar reasons.

The news media no longer has a veneer of immuni ty. It can be affec ted by and/or be part of the very news it reports.

This signals a growing sophi stication in the public's a wareness as well as the true depth of the news media's devotion to the truth.

It is willi ng to show that it's vulnerable and sometimes wrong, and that it trusts the judgement of

the p~licwhffi ~ d~SQ

It's the embodiment of the unspoken, unwritten pact between the public and the press: As long as the press reports truthfully, the people will consult it with confidence and trust.

(For those of you who are curious, Opus chose to read a newspaper instead.)

Just plane sense

By Anndra Pluimer

I was discussing military jets with my friend Steve the other day when the subject of G forces came into conversation. It seems that the military has built a jet that will pull a totalof9G's (gravitational force).

The average pilot can only withstand 7 G' s before losing consciousness.

It seems that a device can be installed in the plane that will cause the plane to circle in a holdi~g pattern until the pilot can regam consciousness and control of the plane.

This device is estimated to cost S20 000. Themilitaryfeelsthatthis ex~nse is too high to justify installing these devices in the fighter jets.

This new jet is called the Gen-

eral Dynamics' F-16H , the Fighting Falcon. This plane can pull 9 G 's. Now is this really necessary in the race to become bigger and better? I think: not.

I believe that the safety of the pilots should be the first and main concern of the military and to all others who are concerned. Is S20,000 too much to pay for the safety of the pilot? When mothers, wives, friends and families of these pilots sent them "to war," they put them in the hands of the military in good faith. . So when the mothers, wives, friends and families of these young men send them into battle, don ' t forget to pack the smelling salts.

After all, you can ' t win a dogfight when you are unconscious.

Nurse offers practical tips for beating the annual bug

By Kathy Flynn Here comes that coughing, aching, stuffy-head feeling again.

The flu season returns to City College.

"The Counseling Staff was hit by it the first week of the semester," said Ayako Saito, a nurse at Health Services on campus.

They are several kinds of flu going around, from intestinal to the common cold, added Saito. Symptoms range from headaches and sore throats to coughs, chills, body aches and vomiting. These flus may cause high fevers as well.

"Students and instructors should stay home, rest and drink fluids to keep from getting worse (or) dehy-

drating," said Saito.

The flu is spread in the classroom by students and ins tructors because there are large groups of people combined in closed rooms breathing the same germs, she added.

Flu season usually starts around October and November.

So how do you avoid getting it if you don't have it? Get plenty of rest, don't skip meals and get lots of exercise. The most important thing to remember is to think good health thoughts, said Saito.

When do you do to the doctor? If you can't swallow water or fluids, or you have a painful earache, you are advised to go to your doctor im-

Do you have common or anal-genital warts?

Subjects needed to participate in the study of a new experimental treatment for common (on hands and/or feet) and anal-genital warts.

Males and females .(not pregnant or breastfeeding) with warts present for at least 6. months. Subjects under 18 years of age with parental consent.

No charge for clinic visits and wart treatment.

Subjects must be available for 7 weeks of study for weekly treatments and for 2 follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months after study.

For further information and to determine if you can qualify to participate in the study, please call (415) 326-4113,9 a.m-5 p.m.

Ask for Mrs. Holley.

Study will be conducted at the Department of Dermatology, Santa Clara Valley M·edical Center, 751 South Bascom Avenue, San Jose.

Can you draw?

mediately.

If you feel generally lousy, get rest. If you are still feeling ill after: 48 hours, then a trip to the doctor's · office is advisable. Most importantly, if you are experiencing stomach flu, don't take antibiotics or antacids. They don' t help and can hurt the stomach worse, said Saito.

"People with any flu symptoms must realize that rest and Tylenol, not aspirin, are the best cures for a

f

virus or cold," said Saito.

Students and instructors must realize that a virus or common cold takes seven to ten days to go away, added Saito.

Students Health Services has Tylenol and cold aids available for temporary relief as well as doctors available by appointment to help students through this flu season.

Jags rebound with a v·engeance

By Gilbert Gardner After its worst start since 1981, the San Jose City College football team (1-3) exploded for 447 yards in offense, crushing San Joaquin Delta College 40-6last Friday.

The victory snapped a threegame losing streak, the worst beginning for a Howard Gay team since he assumed head coaching duties.

"I hope it gives the kids a shot of confidence," Gay said, "which I think is the biggest thing we need."

"Hopefully the kids realize it now that we do have a chance to be a pretty good football team."

Led by quarterback Dary I Fortenberry and a swarming defense, the Jaguars ripped apart the Mustangs (0-4) for 24 first-half points.

Fortenberry completed 13-20 passes for 253 yards and one touchdown in the first half.

"It's going to tum us around,"

Fortenberry said. ''I'm hoping we get a winning attitude - that's our first win. Now the team wants to win more often. It's a real important win. It'll get us started for league play."

Golden Gate Conference play for the Jags begins 7 p.m. Saturday vs. West Valley (2-1). The game will be played at City College.

Oscar Pittman (59 yards rushing, two touchdowns) began the scoring assault against Delta. He capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive with a one-yard run.

A key play in the drive was a47yard Fortenberry pass to tight end Scott Benning.

"We were able to throw the ball and run the ball," said Gay. "(We) got a little consistency." · Delta College was consistently bad this night.

One first-quarter play summed up the Mustangs' performance.

Delta quarterback Chuck Selna

completed a pass to himself (1t was batted back) for a five-yard loss.

"I thought the defense played a lot better," Gay said. "They held them to 149 yards (4 3 on the ground) with everybody on the sideline getting a chance to play."

"I think the defensive line ... probably had their best game as a group."

Defense often sets up the offense, and this was the case on the Jaguars' next touchdown.

Defensive back Bobby Garcia recovered a Mustangs' fumble at the Delta 25 on the first play of the second stanza.

Fortenberry then threw a perfect spiral to wide reciever Billy Wright, capitalizing on the mistake.

Wright made a great leaping catch at theback of the end zone for the score. Corey Fontaine converted the extra point for a 14-0 Jaguar lead.

Fontaine also booted field goals

of 35 and 4 7 yards.

Later in the first half, Delta was faced with a fourth-and-one situation. Head Coach Jack Jordan elected to go for it.

With 3:08 left on the clock City College linebacker Jeff Snyder slashed through the line and tackled running back Jason Aguirre for a loss.

Fortenberry made the Mustangs pay for their failure, leading City College to a touchdown.

During the drive Fortenberry hit Wright for a 46-yard gain and also completed two passes to Kevin Hall (who played quarterback in the fourth period).

Pittman finished the first-half scoring blitz with a two-yard run and converted the PAT. "I think, overall, it was a lot better performance by everyone," Gay said. "I think it's a lot more like we're capable of playing."

Delta scored their only points in

the fourth period on a six-yard run

by Selna. The PAT was wide left.

Running back Greg Jones accounted for the Jaguars' final two scores.

First Jones scored on a two-yard run and then on a nifty eleven yarder up the middle.

The second score was set up by defensive back Freddie Stewart, who picked off a Selna pass and returned it 44 yards.

The victory over Delta co.npletes the preseason and City College must now prepare for conference play.

"Now they count," Gaf said.

"From looking at the Golden Gate Conference... I surely wouldn 'trule us out."

"If we can turn around here and win five or six games in the Go I< Jn Gate Conference we can make a run for our sixth consecutive title."

"One game is just as important as the other."

The next important one for City College is Saturday night.

A building season for Haas

By Joe Posadas Coach Steve Hass of the men's cross-country team, and Coach Bob Jones of the women's cross-country team, share the challenge of overcoming inexperience and injuries of their runners.

Working with a team that is young and inexperienced, Coach Steve Hass hopes to build on the individual strengths of his runners.

So far in the season, the team has not placed competitively against other opponents.

At the Crystal Springs Invitational, the team placed 18 out of 19 teams competing.

Coach Hass, however, is not critical of his runners. Their lack of experience compared to the experience of other schools, notably West Valley College and Diablo Valley College, is one thing he hopes to work to his advantage.

Their less than impressive showing has also been the result of bothersome, but not serious, injuries which have plagued some of the runners.

The team, led by their strongest runner Danny Gonzalez, will begin the Golden Gate Conference season this Friday against San Mateo, Chabot and West Valley colleges at the Hidden Valley course in Martinez.

The women's cross country team, running without a full squad due to injuries, was unable to place in their last two invitationals, but did turn in strong performances by their two top runners Tori Perry and Debbie Bedal.
