Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, at a rally Monday morning, said to huge crowds of supporters: "There's a feeling in the air, and it smells like victory to me!" Thousands of voters and volunteers attended a rally for the Massachusetts governor in the Student Union of San Jose State University. At the rally, the long lines of people filled the Student Union while even more listened to the words of such people as Congressman Norman Mineta, San Jose Major Tom McEnery, Vice-Major lola Williams and former Governor of Maryland Russ Peterson outside of the hall through loudspeakers. Dukakis, after reaching the stage as Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" heralded his entrance began by saying that he would greet the supporters that were forced to stay outside of the filled Student Union. He then talked about the themes and issues of his campaign, such as child care, education, the homeless, the rights of women and the environment. The environment was a common theme among the speakers during the rally as well as himself. "I am asked why, as a Republican, am I supporting a Democrat (Dukakis) for president," said Peterson . "The health of our
planet...is much more important than loyalty to any political party." " .. .I won ' t be protecting polluters. We'll be protecting the people of this country," Dukakis said later. "... We won't be covering up leaks from nuclear plants. We'll be protecting the workers and ...the neighbors of those plants." Dukakis spoke before the crowd outside of the S.tudent Union as he promised after he concluded his speech. Outside, he was joined by security officers, his daughter Andrea and Senator Alan Cranston. "So as you're walking your precincts and making those telephone calls ... , I want you to know that what you're doing is the most important work anyone can do in the next eight days," Dukakis told the crowd of volunteers and supporters. " .. .I know we can win all across the country, and then Kitty and I want to invite you to a party in Washington D.C. on January 20, 1989," he added. Dukakis then left amidst the chaos of the cheering crowd and a hurried entourage of Secret Service officers. The crowd that was left outside was lively throughout the rally, not just during Dukakis 's appearance. The people who came to see the rally, Dukakis supporters and San Jose State students alike, kept themselves entertained. A student had made a jack

SJCC magazine
best in west By Trina Richbourg
The PROMETHEAN, the San Jose City College literary magazine, has been recognized as an outstanding community college literary magazine in the PacificWestern Division by the Community College Humanities Association. The magazine was judged by a panel of evaluators from across the country. In the nine Western states in the division, only five colleges are being honored, and only 13 colleges are being recognized nationwide. The PROMEIHEAN was produced by students in the Creative Writing class last year under the instruction of Anne Heffley. "We are very pleased," said Heffley. "The students are proud of themselves, and I am proud of them." The magazine is now eligible
