Redtape,budgetwoes

LSC, tutors' efforts hampered

By Kathy Flynn

Low pay and exacting requirements placed upon student tutors by the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District and the board of trustees have seriously hampered the efforts of the Learning Skills Center, according to tutors and LSC staff members.

"I don't think the district board of trustees are in touch with the realities of student academic life, the fmancial needs of the Learning Skills Center Tutoring Program and the fmancial needs of tutors," said Mike Czapkay, an honors student and tutor at San Jose City College.

According to Czapkay, the Learning Skills Center pays students $4.50 ari hour to tutor. Tutors are required to enroll in a one-unit program, called LA 90 Directive Experience in Tutoring, and are required to ~ 12 units to qualify for the program. LSC also reqmres that tutors must submit a written recommendatio!l from an instructor in the subject they will be !utonng as well as the completion of the one-unit class m a month.

"That is a lot of work for the size of tutorial study groups ... and a lot of red tape required by LSC for the amount of pay we receive," said Czapkay.

Czapkay found himself tutoring groups of up to 30 students at one time, and receiving a flat rate of $4.50 for these large groups.

"The one-unit class we tutors are required to take

consists of approximately eight essays, several tests and hours of module time," said John Leeper, Algebra tutor for LSC. "We are also required to meet with instructors twice a month prior to receiving our tutorial fees," added Leeper.

Meeting with instructors is difficult for Leeper and Corinne Stewart, an LSC Algebra tutor, because of scheduling conflicts.

All three tutors-Czapkay, Leeper and Stewartagree that the $4.50 an hour is a small amount of pay for a job that has such stem requirements and massive amounts of paper work.

"On top of all the other requirements, fmt semester tutors have to write 15 student evaluations as well," said Leeper.

Members of the LSC staff acknowledge the complaints of the tutors, but say they are handcuffed by the district's guidelines.

"I think the 12-unit requiremeftt is quite high, and the pay is a bit low, but it is a district requirement for students to carry 12 units," said Dr. Carole Bogue, Assistant Dean of Developmental Studies. "According to the district board of trustees, a student must carry 12 units to be considered full time; we have no control over the hourly wage of tutors either. That is what our budget allows us for tutors," said Bogue.

Leticia Mendoza, LSC Tutorial Co-ordinator agrees with the tutors' complaint that they are underpaid, but See Tutors, Page 8

By Eugene Guido Personal bias in news reporting is, I feel, one of the worst flaws in broadcast media. I recall an evening back in mid-July 1985, while viewing the evening news program on ABC station KGO-Channel 7.

In that broadcast, news anchor Pete Wilson reported that Ronald Reagan, Jr. was to begin a career in TV broadcasting. · Wilson announced that the young man would be (coincidentally) working for the ABC network " ... we're sorry to say" (Wilson's words).

One could not know if his negative comment reflected the opinion ofKGO, or if it was Wilson's own ! expressed personal feeling; obviously, it was not the opinion of the ABC network.

Perhaps other Channel 7 viewers were as disturbed as I was about Wilson's snide remark concerning "Ron" Reagan, but there was no indication later that KGO had taken Wilson to task and/or made amends with the viewing student need fear a breach in confidentiality public. It would have been proper, during a visit to Student Health Services on though, if KGO had apologized to the two campuses, Saito and DeCecco have the ABC network and to Channel 7 yet to see their first AIDS patient. viewers for such an unbecoming,

There's an old saying from the '60s "Your freedom ends where my body begins."

My personal views may not be

Gun control laws challenge personal rights

By Kathy Flynn

The heated issue of gun control is turning up over and over again. There are many good arguments on both sides; however, what is appalling is how easily people are persuaded into giving up their rights in favor of a good argument It's frightening to think that Patrick Purdy walked onto a Stockton school yard and shot innocent children to death and wounded others. It is horrifying to realize that his arrest record reflected mental instability, yet he was issued a gun after a background check was done.

But what's even worse is that people are so easily led into giving up their rights to arm themselves, in their homes, against a nut like Purdy who could break in and murder them.

Your rights are slowly seeping away, with your permission. People are applauding the highly controversial attempts of the County Board of Supervisors in making AK-47s and other assault rifles illegal.

Wake up and smell the coffee! If this law goes through, your right to own a gun will be illegal the frrst chance they get to banish it! .

The National Rifle Association isn't helping matters with their emotional propaganda either. Instead of paying millions of dollars in ads blaming the judicial system for Purdy's crime, they should protect their right properly by playing it straight.

The NRA bankrolls many candidates every elecs tion. They are condemning the very system they support They should put their millions into memorial Y funds for the JTlillions of children and adults who have

been murdered by sick or criminal gun toters. They should invest funds in candidates who will make existing laws stronger.

For example, waiting periods should be longer, background checks should be more thorough, and there should be mandatory safe gun classes. Police approval prior to receiving a gm: should be required.

People with any kind of criminal records should be refused the right to bare arms.

We all know, "People kill, not guns." That statement is the real truth.

It is clear. If you look back at all the rights you've given up for the sake of a good argument, you'd scream in fear. Groups against pornography have been able to outlaw any type of pornography in three midwestern states. In these states, you cannot even receive "Playboy," "Penthouse," etc. in the mail. · If people don't begin to think from a logical point of view rather than an emotional point, there's no one to blame but yourself when your rights are gone.

When you're told what to read, how you can protect your family and personal possessions, how to make money properly, how much is enough to drink and how much isn't, whose race is superior and whose is not, etc., you may as well move to Russia.

This is a great country that has a well thought-out Constitution. That Constitution was written and has been amended to protect your rights and the rightc; of others, so don't give them up so easily because "the wheels of justice grind s-l-o-w-1-y." Think first, act second and don't be fooled by emotional propaganda that special interest groups put out.

ThS unbearable fa·cts of life

By Carolyn A. Schoch

Instead of celebrating a happy recovery from the post-holiday depression, we are being victimized by yet another season-related disease... the so-called hibernation syndrome.

While few others, in an early Stage of spring fever, are already out there shopping for those lowcut, short and tight dresses, I am still struggling to get rid of those few extra pounds (blame it all on ~om's homemade pies) that I have &ained over the holidays.

I also find myself constantly failing asleep, for example at the movies, right before that scene Where my favorite actor heroically Shoots the bad guy.

I am ready to take a nap five

minutes after going through the supposedly refreshing procedure of taking an ice cold shower.

My friends gather for a weekly meeting on how to be more fun, because ·! keep on yawning, even over that exciting "My-first-datewith-such-and-such-was-a-total thrill" story.

Luckily (?) I see other holloweyed individuals crowding the hallways, armed with multivitamin tablets, nighttime sniffling/sneezing medicines and the inevitable paper cups filled with steaming hot coffee, dragging their feet, and they too seem to represent your typical low-energy person.

I suspect Mother Nature had it sort of planned that way. Other inhabitants of this planet, such as flowers and trees, as well as ani-

mats seem to have more sense; they just don't bloom, but hibernate, and even the sun comes out only for a few brief visits.

Mankind still runs around in business suits, catching planes, attending yet another meeting and just not giving ourselves time for a little peace and calm, enjoying a cup of tea in front of the frreplace after a hard day of work.

I have recently decided not to feel bad about my fatigue anymore; come spring, come energy, or as a quite philosophical song once said: "Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows, lies the seed, that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose." (Bette Midler, from the soundtrack of the motion picture 'The Rose")

6 Remodeling starts after months of ·planning Thursday, March 9, 1989

By Eugene Guido As the spring semester gains momentum at San Jose City College, so wilr the campus renewal program.

After many months of study, deliberation and planning, various phases of campus-wide improvements have been identified and assigned priorities, according to Phillip Mowry, Director of Facilities Planning for the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District The $1.6 million allotted by the District's Board of Trustees will fund a variety of projects designed to improve the operations and aesthetics of campus facilities.

Mowry reported that certain "maintenance" improvements were already accomplished in time for this semester; among these were new carpeting and painting in the Re-entry and the Continuing Education offices, ~ooms 301 and 306, respectively, and new flooring, counter tops, and painting in the Reprographics Department, Room 307.

A high priority, and large part of the budget, will be committed to the Student Union remodeling project, which involves extensive interior and exterior work.

"Because of our concerns about inconvenience," Mowry said, "we endeavor to do the work in stages, so that a portion of the facility will be usable by students and staff throughout the remodeling period."

Although the general conceptual features have been worked out, it is expected that another two to three months will be needed for refinement of the plans before they are ready for the approval stage, a process which could consume another six to eight months before applicable contracts can be awarded. · Gradually, other parts of the campus will undergo some form of transformation. Current plans, as prepared by Architect Gary Temple of the firm of Allan M.

Architects' plan shows proposed flags, banners, kiosks and re-landscaping in program to unify City College campus appearance and atmosphere Walter & Associates, show that the Union "Circle," just north of the Student Union, will be modified, re-landscaped, and supplemented with a tree-lined plaza and a promenade extending eastward toward the campus bookstore.

Proposed alterations in architecture, including removal of the outside walls connecting the Fine Arts and Gallery buildings, along with new walks, landscaping, parking, and school sign, will dramatically

define the college's main entrance at the Moorpark Avenue frontage and provide enhanced identity and accessibility to the campus.

The College and College President's conference rooms are slated for upgrading, and a unified system of signs, graphics, kiosks, and banners are planned for better identification of (and direction to) buildings, departments, and parking areas - and for the addition of some color around the campus,

Women's track led by Kouns

By John Besmer Last week at the Golden Gate Conference Relays in San Mateo, the women's 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 teams ran away with frrst place honors in both events. The 4 x 100 team consists of Catherine Kamara, Laura Segura, Pam Johnson and Sherry Helms while the 4 x 400 team consists of Segura, Kamara, Karen Randall, and Tori

Perry.

The only long distance winner was Debbie Bedal in the 3000 meters clocking in at 11:06.6.

Regular standout Sherry Kouns "was not up to par due to injury," said Coach Bob Jones. He said "I thought we did well considering the bad weather that we had."

Jones expects the team to be at full strength within a few weeks, and hopes this will enable the Jags to repeat as GGC champions.

The week before the team traveled to American River College and were beaten by the ARC Beavers. Injuries and illnesses plagued the women, and the Beavers went 1-2-3 in the six events where the Jags were unable to field any competitors.

Again Sherry Kouns was a triple winner, achieving two personal bests, in the javelin (108'7") and the discus (134'4").

Karen Randall dropped her time

in the 800_meters by seven seconds to 2:48.1. "Karen should be a solid performer by the end of the year," said Jones.

The San Jose City College women's track team dominated their frrst meet, winning seven first places and eight second places against teams from Santa Rosa City College_ and Contra Costa City College.

Sophomore Sherry Kouns was named outstanding performer of the meet for the Women Jags, winning the discus, shot-put and javelin events with throws of 125'6", 35'4.5" and 106'6", respectively.

Freshman Diane Gentile finished second to Kouns in all three events.

Other individual winners were Lisa Kay Smith in the 100 and 200 meters (12.9, 27.4) and Jennifer Wilson in the triple jump (31 '4.5").

The 4x400 relay team also won with an impressive time of 4:24.7.

After such success, coach Bob Jones is optimistic. "When the . team matures they will become an important factor (in the Golden.

Gate Conference) later on," said Jones.

"This looks like it may be the type of year when all of the depth and numbers will be called into use. Another couple of weeks should tell whether or not the Jaguars will have what it takes to repeat," said Jones.

Reporter views changes in papers

By Maureen Castellanos "News reporting now is not the same as in the 1970s," reporter Michael Cronk told the Mass Media and Society class recently.

Cronk, who works in theSan Jose Mercury news West Side Bureau is a graduate of San Jose State University and a former editor of the Times.

Cronk began his career as a copy boy for the Mercury, and after six months was promoted to news reporter.

"Back then, there were very few women reporters and manual typewriters; now there are 40 to 50 percent women reporters and video display terminals," he said.

In the past, editors decided what the readers wanted to read.

Now through the use of public opinion polls, newspapers are designed accordingly.

Newspapers of the future are busy "redefining themselves" as they seek to compete against other newspapers in the communication field. The Mercury has begun to diversify by expanding their coverage of the Business and Entertainment sections and by their extensive use of graphics and larger color photos.

According to Cronk, "newspaper readership nationwide is down, while Mercury circulation has increased, especially the Sunday edition which boasts of a 340,000 circulation." He said that

"Purple Breasts", a controversial and at times intimidating play on.breast cancer, can certainly not be accused of euphemism.

Packed with detailed information on th e s ubject , " Purple Breasts" is full of strong and potentially offensive statements about conventional medical treatment, doctors and related institutions.

Following the woman Zoe, who has breast cancer, "Purple Breasts" strongly focuses on the emotional outcome of her confusion.

On top of her own fear and the unpleasant treatment, Zoe has to deal with reactions of friends, family and doctors.

Tutors

Michael Cronk the newspaper has extended its news bureaus to include Mountain View and Palo Alto.

Attracting readers and having the widest appeal is imperative to expanding readership. Most newspapers are having difficulty in drawing readers from the 18-25 age group.

In the near future, Mercury news readers can look forward to a "News in Brief' section of the front page such as appears in the Wall Street Journal and the San Francisco Chronicle.

"Newspapers have many advantages over television news; you · don't have to wait until certain time to learn about the news-a newspaper can be read anytime," said Cronk. "In the future, electronic newspapers are possible; newspapers are interested in changing with the times."

Continued from Page 1 agrees with Bogue that pay scales are determined by LSC's budget.

"I'd do away with the 12-unit requirement, and the lower pay scale if I could, but it's district policy," said Mendoza.

Lois Janowski, full-time day instructor for LSC, said that the oneunit LA 90 helps screen tutors for the students.

"Tutors are screened because we feel responsible for the tutors ' competence," said Janowski.

Leeper and Czapkay maintain that the 12-unit requirement and the one-unit class is extreme, and result in the loss of many potentially excellent tutors.

"I think the one-unit class, which requires a work load of a four-unit class, should be de• creased, or we should be given more units as well as a letter grade instead of credit-no credit," said Leeper.

Stewart agrees that the 12-unit requirement is high, but she has a different matter of concern.

"Some instructors ignore the fact that the tutoring program even exists at LSC. They have to realize

searched and co-wrote the play script, are characterized by their strong emotional commitment to Daryl Lindstrom and the subject of

breast cancer.

"Purple Breasts" is a developmental theater piece and is far from being finished. Discussing the play with the audience after the performance, the four actresses and Daryl Lindstrom herself are open to contributions and comments.

Lindstrom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September 1988. She has directed such

plays as "In The Boom Room," "Romeo and Juliet" " As Is", a controversial play AIDS. Although "Purple Breasts" at· tracts many women who have have had breast cancer, its addresses ev~rybody: there is need to talk about this disease.

What "Purple Breasts" has offer its audience at this point, is insightful, warm, e strong portrayal of a woman her disease.

Very disturbing in some parts, does not lack the sense of that Daryl Lindstrom says is tial to overcome the confusion, and changes that patients ence.

"Purple Breasts" will be formed two more evenings, p.m. on March 10 and 11 in San Jose City College Theatre.

that we are here to help their students, not replace them as instructors," said Stewart.

Students who receive tutoring from LSC tutors are also hampered by budget limitations.

"I am carrying a five-unit Algebra class and come to LSC two hours a week for tutorial assistance. I just wish LSC allowed me more hours with my tutor," said Marcelle Cox, a City College student.

According to Stewart, LSC wiD allow students more hours a week if it can find room for them in the budget.

"We will approve more hours for tutoring as long as they are · the budget, and the student continues to show up on scheduled ing sessions," said Janowski.

According to Bogue, LSC is offered as a no-fee, class for all subjects offered at College.

An insightful, warm portrayal of a woman and her disease.
