San Jose City College President Byron Skinner is one of three finalists under consideration for the chancellor's position of the Peralta Community College District.

The Peralta District's Board of Trustees is expected to announce its decision Nov. 17.

Skmner, Pennsylvama State University Vice Presi.d~nt Robert Scannell and DetrOit s Wayne County Community College President Ronald J. Temple are the three candidates, survivors of a field of 46 applicants.

If selected, Skinner will go into retreat with the Peralta Board members to "make sure we see things the same way and can work

The Peralta district IS pullmg itself out of budgetary problems

that have plagued it for several years. In 1987, Chancellor Donald Godbold resigned amid charges of fiscal mismanagement. Three of the four colleges' presidents have also been replaced.

The district received a $3.3 million loan from the state and a consultant has been monitoring district expenditures. The result is a $1 million reserve.

"Their financial troubles are over," Skinner said.

Skinner, who has been president of City College since 1985, sees the Chancellor's office at the 26,000-student district "as a chalIenge--but challenges are things that I enjoy."

Skinner said that the new chancellor will assume his office "whenever he gets things tied up at the school he's at now." Peralta District officials say they expect th t ·u be 10 . J a WI anuary.

Tocci, who will try the case for the prosecution, said the district attorney's office always wants to try a case as close to the time of the crime as possible; in this way the physical evidence is preserved and witnesses' memories are fresh.

She disputes the defense's claim that they've been "ready to go" for a long time. "The defendant has the option of invoking speedy trial rights" at the time of his arraignment in Superior Court, Tocci said.

Unless the defendant waives time, a trial must be held in 60 days, she said. The prosecution does not have this option, Tocci added.

The delay in getting the case to trial is due to the complexity of discovery, Schoenberg said.

The prosecution must provide statements and police reports and make available physical evidence to the defense. It takes longer "to get things rolling (in special circumstances cases)," she said.

"Special circumstances is a death penalty case," explained Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Jack Cardinale.

Bowers, Powers, Bloch elected to board §Ellie Molloy A newcomer and two incumbents have been elected to four- year terms on the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District Board of Trustees.

Charlotte Powers, 51, and Richard Bowers, 61, won handily Nov. 8. Rene Bloch, 38, outdistanced incumbent Robert Giuli by 6,220 votes.

Bloch will be seated with his new Colleagues on the five-member board once election results have been certified by the Santa Clara County Registrar's Office.

"I was up all night talking to People... ," Bloch said the morning

after the ~lection.

"I'll meet with everyone-faculty, administration and student leaders and get a better idea of the budget. .. and A.B. 1725, the bill Vasconcellos (Assemblyman John Vasconcellos, D-San Jose) spearheaded and passed."

hard work had something to do with it, working on the campaign for a year to secure those endorsements as well as raising the money (for) signs and mailings," he said.

Bloch was endorsed by many heavy-hitters in the Democratic establishment including state Senator AI Alquist, D-San Jose; state Senator Dan McCorquodale, D-San Jose; Vasconcellos; three county supervisors; six San Jose city council members; and two incumbents on the San Jose/Evergreen governing board (Powers and Trustee Mary Ruth Gross).

Powers was delighted with her margin of victory.

"Obviously I'm real pleased and blown out by the size of the vote.

Five years ago, the total vote count for the first-place person was about 17,000 and here we are this time at 84,000 or so ... the electorate was more involved this time in the election, which is good," she said.

Powers is the first-place person again in this election. She garnered 24.5 percent of the vote while incumbent Richard Bowers got 20.9 percent and Bloch received 20.2 percent. Giuli and challenger Don Trammel trailed with 18.4 percent and 16 percent respectively.

Powers, Bowers and Bloch will be sworn in once the certification

Earth is ours to save

Overpopulation, pollution and the depletion of energy resources are draining the planet at an alarming rate. The world 's environment is in serious trouble.

Scientists are concerned that the Green House effect (the warming of earth) is becoming increasingly worse because few steps are being taken to decrease carbon dioxide levels, caused by the burning of coal and petroleum. That's why summers are getting hotter and winters warmer.

The ozone layer, which blocks ultraviolet rays from causing skin cancer, is deteriorating because fluorocarbons are being released in the air at an alarming rate.

Many coal-burning areas are experiencing acid rain. Acid rain is caused by burning coal and petroleum. The sulfur combines with water to form sulfuric acid, which is trapped in clouds released as rain.

Acid rain is killing off forests, vegetation, fish and other forms of aquatic life. It also pollutes rivers and streams.

Overpopulation is putting an even larger strain on the earth.

More people means the need for more food, housing, energy resources, water and waste disposal. The earth is becoming a concrete land that is overcrowded and depleted of natural resources. . In this American throw-away society, it IS becoming impossible to find safe, econo~ical ways of disposing of garbage and toxic waste.

With all of these serious problems the

abuse of the environment is confronting the nation with, how can each of us help now before it's too late?

There are many things that can be done. Start conserving water in homes by installing water saving devices in toilets, showers and faucets.

Don't water lawns during the day. Water at night for a limited time. Wash cars at a coin-operated car wash.

Buy energy efficient appliances. There are low cost air conditioners and dish washers that not only conserve energy, but will save you money.

Buy energy efficient cars. Drivers shouldn't disconnect smog devices.

Write Congress and demand that a law be passed requiring bio-degradable packaging, and demand that the funds the Reauan administration cut to environmental ag;ncies that protect against abuse be refunded and new ones added.

Gather all newspapers, bottles and cans and go to your nearest redemption center.

Most importantly, start researching where political candidates stand on the environmental issues. Check out their voting records on the environment. The League of Women Voters has this information and is just a phone call away.

Destruction of the world's environment is a national problem, but it is an individual's, too. If each person would conserve in his own home we'd be half way to securing a better planet.

To me there is nothing more annoying than looking out the window and seeing them coming up the walkway.

For many, they are a definite unwanted distraction from everyday activities. In my neighborhood they are a familiar sight.

As soon as the warm weather months begin, they come out in groups. Even if you've never really dealt with them directly, they're easy to spot. They usually wear their best Sunday clothes.

What gives them away, however, is the Bible tucked neatly under their arm with a stack of their religious literature.

Generally speaking, I'm an easy going guy. It doesn't take me long, though, to lose my composure when dealing with the Jehovah's Witnesses and their overbearing. religion.

I am by no means an atheist, either. I happen to be a decent, good-natured Catholic.

Although I don't normally go around bad-mouthing other religions, I sometimes feel like telling the door preachers to. go to Hell!

Door-to-door preaching is not a way to spread a religion.

To me, there is something strangely wrong with a religion whose followers present their beliefs at our doors like a vacuum cleaner or encyclopedia set The door is nq place to hear the word of God. If I want to hear quotes from scripture, I would go to churchmy church! I do not feel it is appropriate for anyone to try and force-feed their views to me while I'm relaxing in my home.

In their attempt to try and gain new followers, some of these people resort to being down-right pushy. A classmate once told me that one day she spent almost ten minutes trying to politely get these individuals to leave. They didn't get the message, and she ended up yelling at them.

Other friends have told me similar stories about persistent religious people. What is one to do in these situations? A person can only say "no" so many times in ~ polite manner before it becomes

6 Major renovation in store for Student Union Thursday, November 17, 1988

By Shelley McKinzie San Jose City College's Student Union can best be described as a rectangular, two-story-structure constructed largely of concrete block, glass, and concrete floors that has about as much charm as a prison dining hall.

But imagine the Student Union with new furniture, carpets, enclosed and expanded game rooms, a television lounge and partitioned study areas.

These are just some of the features included in plans to renovate City College' s Student Union.

The exterior of the building will be getting a much needed facelift, but most of the changes will be made to the interior.

Tentative plans for the remodeling project were drawn in October

by Allan M. Walter & Associates, Inc.~ and represent three years of ideas and suggestions from both staff members and students. Drawings are posted for student review in the display cases of the General Education Building and Student's Accounts Office as well as inside the Counseling Building.

One change that will enhance both the inside and outside of the building is the proposed addition of a wall of glass block, which would be located to the immediate right of the main entrance. Glass block would be an attractive alternative to the existing regular window glass at the front.

All food services would be combined at the north end of the building, leaving the existing snack bar area for an enclosed video arcade room. There also will be a

glass-enclosed room for pool and table tennis on the lower level.

"We're really working on cutting down on all the noise that now goes on through the installation of glass walls" said Ramona Romandia: administrative assistant of the Associate Student Body. The present plexiglass panels that allow observation of the ground floor also will be replaced with glass walls.

The upstairs portion of the building is the only area that would be enlarged by the remodeling.

The section that is defined by wrought iron railing would be expanded and enclosed in glass.

Additional improvements to the upstairs would include a lounge with a big screen television/entertainment center, a study center that will borrow space from the existing lounge, and a disk jockey control center for the campus broad- . casting program.

Now for the bad news. ''The Facilities Planning Committee is projecting that a~tual construction probably won't start for another 13-16 months," said Judy Rookstool, counselor and director of student activities.

Money is not the obstacle. The district's Board of Trustees set aside $1.3 million for various campus renovations , and, according to Rookstool , "The Student Union remodel has priority over the other renovations because both staff and student body recognize its importance."

So why has it taken three years for the project to be more than a year away from construction?

"Student apathy, until now, has been a big obstacle," said Roman-

Rookstool called the architectural drawings "talking" plans, and both she and Romandia emphasized that student requests, comm ents ana suggestions are still welcome.

Two major hurdles remaining are approval of the final architectural drawings and selection of a contractor.

If you will be attending City College once construction begins, fear not. Rookstool said that students will always have a place to congregate. Renovations will most likely take place in phases so that while one part is under construction, the rest of the Student Union will be available for use.

With second place in the Golden Gate Conference and a possible bid to the Garlic Bowl at stake, San Jose City College (4-41, 3-1-1) squares off against Diablo Valley College (5-4, 3-2) at 7 p.m.

Friday at home.

"It looks like the winner of the game might be in contention for the Garlic Bowl," said Head Football Coach Howard Gay. "Nothing guaranteed, but it (the winner) will be considered."

DVC, coming off a 52-12 thrashing of West Valley, brings a four-game winning streak into the contest.

"They're playing well now with, it looks like, a lot of confidence," Gay said.

"Basically they're a passing team. They have a quarterback by the name of Steve Baxter who definitely will be in contention for allleague.

"Defensively they play a 50front, very similar to ours."

The Jags defense will again be called upon to shut down a high-

Chabot to play in S.J. -Bowl

By Joe Posadas

Golden Gate Conference champion Chabot College will play in the second annual San Jose Bowl at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3.

Triai----(Continued from page 1) Special circumstances cases take longer because "penalties are so severe (and) because ...courts which review these c:ases go over them with a fine tooth comb to see that there was no miscarriage of justice," he said. "A man's life is on the line ... all else flows (during a trial) because of that consequence."

"Unless someone has a real ax to grind, three to five years is standard" for. a case to come to trial in special circumstances cases, said homicide detective Kenn Womack of the San Jose Police Department.

"Cases now in trial (in Santa Clara County) are from 1984, 1985 and 1986," he added.

Tocci warns that in a special circumstances case the court system is tied up for several months with the jury selection process alone. ''The process involves (questioning) jurors individually, weeding out two groups of people (two extremes, those who would impose

the death penalty and those who would never impose the death penalty)," she said.

Luis Gutierrez and his drawings exhibited in City College Gallery

·SJCC instructor's art out of his right mind

By Ellie Molloy Left, right! Right, left? Step right up to the Human Figure Drawing Survey-Right-brain Emphasis Exhibit now on display in the City College Art Gallery .

On view are works of an artist who has used both hands to create his drawings.

Art Instructor Luis Gutierrez is exhibiting his works in ink and charcoal. Most of them display the hu;nan figure or portraits.

The artist stresses the importance of utilizing two hemispheres of the brain in artistic endeavors, but he gives a decided energetic anl:l enthusiastic nod to the right side.

"The function of the right side (of the brain) is the creative side, the side that creates art-it is the imaginative, intuitive side," Gutierrez said.

"The left-side of the brain is the thinking, analytical, logical side," he added.

Two sides of the brain think in basically different ways, according to experts. The right side of the brain plays a pivotal role in creative thought, like imagination and intuition. Correct reasoning and language, though, come to us through left-brain processes.

"Most people don't think they can draw at all when they contemplate using the opposite hand,"

Rector is charged with firstdegree murder (Garies); kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon (Garies and Shifrel); and forced sexual assault with use of a firearm and great bodily injury (Shifref).

Rector was bound over to Superior Court and arraigned on Aug .18, I 986, following a preliminary hearing in Municipal Court, said Tocci.

During the arraignment, the defendant was advised of the charges against him, entered a plea to felony charges and was provided with a lawyer, Tocci explained.

How is Gregory Rector doing?

"He is doing as well as can be expected," said Schoenberg.

Funeral services were held Monday for Ramon Leon, 23, an offensive lineman for the Jaguar football team.

Burial was in Santa Clara Mission Cemetery, Santa Clara.

Leon died on Nov. 9 at Santa Clara County Valley Medical Center.

Results of an autopsy are pending.

He is survived by his mother, Felipa Trujillo; stepfather Herrnelindo Trujillo; brothers Pedro Leon (also a City College offensiv~ lineman), Ruben Trujillo and Raul Trujillo; and sister Lucia Trujillo.

Gutierrez said. But he found that when individuals draw with the opposite hand they are actually drawing with the right side of the brain-the side where creativity is lodged.

"If you are right-handed and you draw with the left hand that puts you into the right side of the brain," he explained. "Righthanded people drawing with the right hand have beeR programmed .

They are using their logical side, and it creates barriers to artistic endeavors. It tells you that you can't ·draw, it is an individual's critical and judgmental side. But when you use the opposite hand, it's more open, less critical, less judgmental and it's intuitive and more human."

Gutierrez uses both left and right hands in drawing, immersing himself in the right side of the brain. He uses various art materials at the same time, holding different tools in each hand as he works.

"I started out working with my right hand, then left handed, then drawing upside down when I had run out of ideas and energy. When (a drawing) is upside down, I can see things I didn ' t see right side up-1 just keep turning the art work, it helps overcome creative barriers," Gutierrez said.

"Our schools are programmed to cultivate the left side, the reasoning, logical side. But where do

you go to cultivate the right? Nowhere. Creativity is on the right side of the brain. I do what I can to get there and stay there," Gutierrez added.

A visitor to the gallery will be greeted at the entrance way by an outline drawing of an obvious female form. She' s running-<>r posturing-and has a whimsical look.

Inside are more recent charcoal drawings-naked, broad-hipped women; gaunt, unassuming, unsmiling men. Broader strokes of the artist's tools give the figures a softer tone, an ephemeral quality.

A visitor also will be intrigued by several colored ink drawings on display. One student saw a jet plane in one drawing while another viewed the drawing in reverse and envisioned a giant crab. Visitors can conduct their own Rorshach tests and be delighted with the mental exercise.
