AS'B V. P. election today By Kathy Flynn
The San Jose City College Associated Student Body Vice Presidential election is.being held today in the Student Union. During an ASB political forum held for the three candidates, Tim King, Edward Morillo and Terrence Thurmond, concern was expressed about the low student turnout. The candidates all agreed that one of their goals is to increase student involvement in the ASB and its activities. "It is not important who wins this election. What is important is that you exercise your right to vote now and in the future," said King. King said he is qualified for Vice President because he has had eight years of experience in student body government. "I want this office so that I can find out what I can do for the student body, not what they can do for me," said King. Thurmond has attended City College for three semesters.
"Extracurricular activities are important because they enhance the atmosphere of the school," said Thurmond. "If I become Vice President, I want to have a multi-cultural week on campus," said Thurmond. Through this type of event, students can become educated about different cultures, and perhaps more knowledgeable and less prejudiced, added Thurmond. The third candidate, Edward Morillo, is running on the slogan, "Change from Within." "I want to change the apathy and opportunities for students on this campus with regards to child care. Students with mentally handicapped children have no child care," said Morillo. Morillo's major concerns are declining enrollment, retention and transfer of students to four-year universities, lack of social events and extracurricular activities and the availability of loan books for students with financial need and day care. Elections for Vice President will be held in the Student Union today at 9 a.m. to 2:30p.m. for day students and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. for night students.

A district-wide policy to assist students and employees who have AIDS-related complex (ARC) or AIDS is now being formulated. Two years have passed since health services personnel at both Evergreen Valley College and San Jose City College suggested the need for an AIDS policy to the administration. However, a directive from the California State Community College Chancellor's Office last fall was necct::SS'lfY to force the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District to act. "At one time we made a (verhal) proposal for an AIDS policy on the Evergreen campus," said Bill Cooksley, a counselor with the Disabled Students Program at Evergreen, who added that Associate Provost Roy Lucero was "very supportive." "I was concerned about... some students on this campus," Cooksley said. "Doris and I were concerned," said Ayako Saito, nurse for Student Health Services at City College. She and Doris DeCecco, Evergreen Valley College nurse, knew "something should be done" and worked together on guidelines which were submitted to the ad-

Editorial
Tak-ing aim on NRA_ (Editor's note: The issue of gun control has the members of our editorial board sharply divided. The opinions on this page represent just one side of the argument; expect to see further discussion of this important subject later in the year.)
With millions of dollars in its treasury and three million members, the National Rifle Association is a formidable opponent: The organization's present target is the California state legislature. On Tuesday, members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee will vote on a proposed state law which would ban the sale or possession of assault rifles and shotguns. NRA lobbyists are working the halls of the state Capitol reminding senators and assemblymen of the NRA's clout-the ability to give or withhold funds to legislators' campaign coffers or bankroll opponents of errant legislators in the next election. On Feb. 13, the NRA placed ads in at least 15 California newspapers arguing that the criminal justice system was at fault in the massacre of five school children in a Stockton schoolyard Jan. 17. "America had a place for Patrick Purdy," the ad proclaims, adding: "But seven times the system set him free." A litany of Purdy's criminal misdeeds is featured. Nowhere is there mention of the number of children slain or injured. Semi-automatic weapons presently are legally imported. The AK-47 used by Patrick Purdy is noted as acceptable under present government regulations because this weapon can be used by hunters as well as in target-practice situations. The proposed legislation defines an assault weapon as a firearm " ... with such a high rate of fire and capacity for firepower that its function as a legitimate sports and recreational firearm is substantially out-

weighed by the danger that it can be used to kill and injure human beings." The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors recently voted to ban assault weapons in unincorporated areas of the county over which they have jurisdiction. Local legislators have taken the lead in banning these weapons. Now we call on state legislators to follow their example. The NRA is urging its 250,000 members in California to call or write their state legislators and the governor to express opposition to the proposed law. Attorney General John Van de Kamp, a vocal proponent of the legislation, is enlisting the supports of Californians to insist on a yes vote. The Public Safety Committee will meet on Feb. 28. A majority of the seven-member committee must vote in favor of the proposed law to ban semi-automatic assault weapons to enable the full80-member assembly to have its say. The attorney general has said that the vote in committee will be very close. One local state legislator sits on the Public Safety Committee, Assemblyman Charles Quackenbush, R-Saratoga,. Time is short. If you agree that the infamous AK-47s and other assault weapons should be banned, call Assemblyman Quackenbush at (408) 446-4114 or stop at his local office at 456 El Paseo de Saratoga, San Jose, and urge a yes vote in committee Tuesday. · A yes vote would send a message to the NRA: Use your clout-your fund-raising ability, your allocation or resources and your direct mail capabilities-to help mandate tougher crime measures instead of battling for the AK-47 and other assault weapons, so the Patrick Purdys of this world are not permitted to roam free to kill and maim.

My fiancee and I recently went to a club meeting that was not quite a meeting, but too formal to be called a party. Basically, everyone there discussed the club's financial situation, what they'd like to do with the money, what movies we would rent from the video shop next door that night, etc. While all that was going on, my fiancee had to suffer through a constant series of passes from a man that she and I knew (we didn't know him or like him enough to call him an acquaintance). These were essentially worded this way: "So you two are getting married? Is there anything I can do to persuade you not to?" Later that night, she told me that he'd insinuated that we were getting married solely because she was pregnant, which she isn't Despite my instincts to prevent any other male from approaching my mate, the way predatory animals pounce on hapless creatures that threaten to ~nter the predator's
territory, I resisted the blood-burning urge to stick lapel ~ins behind his ears. One side of my mind insisted that I tell the guy to join me outside for a little mayhem, but I decided that my fiancee is a big girl now. If she wanted me to turn his ugly mug into yum, she would have politely asked. After that incident, I think twice about chastising the men with aspirations at the mythical state of machismo who treat the women they love as possessions. It's disgustingly easy to do. After being with a loved one for hours-even days-at a time, that person's individuality and humanity can be taken for granted quite easily. I'm rather proud that I had enough confidence in myself and in the relationship my fiancee and I have, that I was able to put aside my animal instincts and let her defend her own honor. But if that schmuck makes another pass at her, I'll rip his eyeballs out and stuff them up his nose.
Letter
Student seeks academic grail Dear Editor: As a continuing student at San Jose City College, I am inspired by dedicated and competent teachers and counselors, and I have observed a zeal that is refreshing-a genuine quest for scholastic excellence is manifested in all my classes: students with goals and a very real sense of purpose and worth, aware of their contribution to society. Alas, this is, of course, not a perfect campus. I have discovered a teacher or two who insist on
treating students as if they were still in junior high school, and classrooms so cold we shiver even wearing coats. Tiris is a great place to learn; we are on our way to that specia~ career and our dreams are becoming realities. Continuing my education after many years away from school has given this student another chance, a career change brought about the capricious wind of circumstance. Maureen Casteilanos

Bas·eball team rocks Fresno By John Besmer
The City College Jaguars began their bid for their second straight Golden Gate Conference baseball title by winning the Fresno tournament on Feb. 10-12, beating San Joaquin Delta Community College, College of the Sequoias, and Fresno City College twice. Last weekend the Jaguars went to the Sacramento tournament and beat the Canadian Ail-S tars 11-7, with Todd Manly as the winning pitcher. In the semifinals, the Jaguars lost to defending state champions Sacramento City College 3-1. With 11 returning players, the Jaguars baseball team will be among the toughest team to beat in the conference. With last year's impressive 32-

11 record, the Jaguars hope for repeat performances from outstanding players such as Matt Marks and Ralph Maldonado, who both were all league as freshman last year. The Jaguars have high expectations for Cary Woodson, the most heavily recruite4 community college pitcher in the state. As a freshman, Marty Kilian shoul<l ctdd to the already strong pitching staff. And with Ryan Haley catching, not many baserunners will want to try their luck. Coach Barry Woodhead said that in Juan Rojo he has "the best center fielder" he's ever had as a coach. "He's a gamer," said Woodhead, "on game day he gives the team 110 percent." Lou Lucca is also going to aid
the team with his good defense, an aspect Woodhead sees as a key to the season. "If we learn to play nine hard innings defensively, we will win some games." Other key rettiming players are Gabe Castro, John Ifland, Doug Thurman, Tommy Meyers, Todd Manly, Jim Thompson and Jason Pokrzywinski. "This is the most talented team (I've had) since I've been at San Jose City College," said Woodhead. Other teams to watch out for in the conference are Chabot College, Laney College and San Mateo City College. This weekend the Jags travel to the Delta tournament in Stockton. The next home game will be against Chabot on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 2:30p.m.

The City College women's track team will try for back-to-back Golden Gate Conference championship seasons in 1989. This year's squad, which has 20 members is stronger than last year's team, which finished first in the GGC, said Coach Bob Jones. Jones believes that the Lady Jags have the opportm1ity to repeat again as champions because of their depth.

Breasts'
Lindstrom's play on cancer to run March 3-1 By Caroline A. Schoch Drawing on her own experiences, San Jose City College Drama Instructor Daryl Lindstrom will direct "Purple Breasts," a developmental play about breast cancer. Lindstrom, City College faculty member since 1987, was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 1988, and is currently undergoing treatment. "It's the thing I know most about right now," says Lindstrom, "I have a library of books on cancer an(\ topics related to it in my house." The play accompanies the woman Zoe from when she finds out that she has breast cancer through her various experiences. At the end of the play she emerges as a strong woman, in control of her life. "In this country," Lindstrom said, "in the past thirty years, there has been no change in the treatment of breast cancer in women. I feel that it is because it is a woman's disease." During extensive research she also discovered that more promising treatments are offered in other
countries, being banned in the United States due to the "red tape" policies of the National Institute for Health (NIH) aild the American Medical Association (AMA). Lindstrom wants to get her audience to talk about taboos such as breast cancer, which she says is "swept under the rug" right now. Lindstrom expects that some statements in the play "are going to be quite offensive to a lot of people, because we are dealing with the truth." "Purple Breasts" (a reference to the purple ink used for marking a woman's body for radiation treatment), is a developmental theater piece which is Lindstrom's favorite approach to her work. "Because you go into rehearsal with no script, you can shape it anyway you want it to go," which she says is "what all directors want ultimately." For "Purple Breasts," however, the four actresses, G!orya Symon, Cindy Markus, Susan McMahon and Allaire Paterson, all of whom have some background in acting, movement, voice training and dancing-went out and did research. The structure of the play and the sketching out of different scenarios
are group efforts. The script at this point is 31 minutes long; by opening will be about one hour. Lindstrom said, "It is to me to have a short amount time, but have that be high ity." A college campus, according Lindstrom , is the perfect place show a play such as Breasts." "Education does happen and students and facul ty and need to know about this." Lindstrom encourages all · structors to bring their classes p.m. Thursday, March 2 in the lege theater, not only to learn about breast cancer, but also for reinforcement of "writing curriculum ." After the play, in a with the four actresses and strom herself, students will how the group went about a play. ''The most important thing me is, that somebody leaves theater being moved, so that changes their lives in some way," Lindstrom Said. "Purple Breasts" will play March 3 -11 at 8 p.m., with a day matinee, March 5 at 2 p.m.

AIDS---Continued from page 1 faculty, staff and students, Saito said. She is a member of the group, as is Bill Cooksley. The committee has met twice this. ye~ to develop district-level policy and guidelines on AIDS which ultimately will be submitted to the administration and then to the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District board of trustees. Trustee Charlotte Powers has continued to speak out concerning the need for AIDS education and policy. She learned late last year of the written announcement sent to district administrators by the state chancellor and brought the subject up in open session during the trustees' meeting in December. "Are you saying we need an AiDS policy?" she quoted the chancellor as saying when she asked him for information.

" The board agreed with me that's the direction we might want to go," Powers said. "We are trying to move in a manner ... stressing the positive. Each of our students is important to us-their health and safety." Is there a reason why the impetus for an AIDS policy had to come from the state when health services professionals at SJCC and EVC had repeatedly stressed the need for such a policy? "My biggest concern was fear of hysteria, not about the policy ... people who are unknowing about the illness and reacting excessively," Dr. Goff said. "We've had zero problem in this area. Our faculty and staff and students have demonstrated very appropriate maturity." The committee's report is expected this semester. "I don't anticipate that the policy will be very controversial," Goff said.
