AS elections stand; A perfect fit trustee vote in doubt By Bruce A Carter The election of Mildread Barnett to the position of AS president has been upheld by Charles Southward, Dean of Student Services at San Jose City College. Dean Southward had the final say on the election, which was contested by candidate Edward Morillo. However, like the City College presidential race, the outcome of voting for the San Jose/Evergreen Community College Student Trustee has been contested. Southward indicated that he could find no reason to declare the election invalid, after having carefully considered the allegations made by Morillo. Southward did indicate that there were some procedures that could have been improved upon, but no evidence existed that led him to believe that the outcome of the election would have been different, had the procedures been followed exactly. Barnett won the run-off election t>y a 284-138 margin, but the vote total was not the issue that prompted the allegations. "It's public knowledge that our Constitution is ambiguous and needs revision," according to Barnett "Mr. Morillo chose to run for office knowing that, and he took his chances, just like the rest of us." "I think the process needs to be re-defined, " said Morillo. "The reason for my protest was not to criticize my opponent, but to insure that this type of thing never happens again." Morillo said that he had written a letter to Chancellor Goff, as well as other administrators, that better explained the nature of his complaints. "This was not done in poor sportsmanship," said Morillo. "The thing that must be realized by the students is, if we are to be a viable force on campus, we must have a well-organized government If we're going to have a democracy, we can't have this type of crap."
Morillo said that his main objective was to make the election process fair for all involved by eliminating the ambiguities in the City College Constitution. Donna Zimmerdahl, chairman of the committee for the run-off election, chose to decline comment on the allegations made about the election process. "My objective was to get students involved in the voting process, and I feel really good about the turnout we had," said Zimmerdahl. "We were able to get representatives from all of the major clubs to work together in the effort to increase student involvement." The Times had recently reported that City College's John Morales would be named to the post of student trustee, but a recent development has sidetracked that decision also. At the last meeting, district board members maintained that Evergreen election results must be used in selecting a new student trustee. According to Chancellor Richard Goff, the election results would not be valid without Evergreen's tally. He stated that the board was allowing Evergreen to hold their elections past the time frame designated in board policy because "to do it otherwise would cause a vacancy to occur." On May 24, Southward announced that the results of Evergreen's election, paired with City College's election results, showed that Robert Robledo, not Morales, was the winner of the student trustee race. The combined vote tally from the elections had Robledo getting 328 votes, to Morales' 305. Morales, however, asserts that the Evergreen election process has been filled with too many irregularities to be considered valid. "I am ftling a statement with Dean Southward," said Morales. ''They are not conducting their election fairly or equitably to both candidates." Morales alleges that Evergreen has been in violation of their election code in several areas, but stated "I'll leave the board to decide as to what action they want to take."

Opinion Letter
LSC is an asset
Editorial
AS- awful sneaky In the May 11 issue of the Times, we reported on the confusion surrounding the Associated Students' elections. What we didn't report was the incredible resistance we were met with in trying to get 'the information to print. Not only was the nature of a complaint filed by candidate Ed Morillo not disclosed, but the vote totals were withheld. It is ironic that, in an election where a major goal of the candidates was .boosting student involvement in government, the AS tried to keep information vital to understanding the workings of student government from the student body. How can the students become involved when they aren't even informed of basic facts like the vote count? Attempts to inform the student body were further hampered by a "gag order," issued by Charles Southward, associate dean of student services. In this issue, we report on the controversy surrounding the Hall of Excellence choices. In this instance, a Times reporter, along with other members of the public, was barred from attending a meeting to reevaluate the choices for this year's inductees. Why all this secrecy? Is there something to hide? Do the elected AS officials and their advisers think they are so superior to the rest of the student body that they can conduct government without accountability? Actions like these not only work against the stated goal of the AS to increase student involvement, but are clearly violations of the Public Information Act and the Brown Act.

The Public Information Act allows the media to sue for public documents and facts (like the vote count). The Brown Act forbids private meetings by public governing bodies and committees except in cases of personnel matters, such as contract talks and hiring and firing procedures. By keeping information from the public the AS is either breaking the law or admitting that it is not a legitimate governing body. For years, the AS has clamored for greater coverage. When it is finally offered, the AS decides it has to cloak itself in secrecy. Student reporters shouldn't have to wait for advisers and student officials to reach arbitrary decisions about what should be printed, nor should they be forced to ferret out information like a detective when the subject is a public election. Similarly, student reporters, and the public, shouldn't be treated as uninformed interlopers at public meetings. Instead of trying to hide shortcomings in the AS Constitution, which were at the heart of the confusion of the contested election, those shortcomings should be brought to light so they may be rectified. Instead of prohibiting information on the Hall of Excellence debate, the controversy should be exposed so that the entire campus can have a voice in the decision. Limiting information on the inner workings of the City College campus to a cabal of elected officers perverts the very idea of a student democracy. Hopefully, the new group of elected students will have enough maturity and confidence to realize that this is the case. Staff Writers Mildread A.

Editor: The Learning Skills Center (LSC) is an asset to this campus. I would like to point out its value at a time when it is ignored and has negative comments made about it in your paper.' Kathy Flynn's article pointed out the fact that tutors are not well paid. Yes, tutors are paid only $4.50 an hour, because it is a free service for the students; however, both the tutors and the tutees get a lot from the work there. As my fellow tutor Dan Morales said: "At frrst the reason why I came was to make money, but after a month, my reason changed; it (tutoring) reinforced my basics in lower division math." Personally, I left a better-paying job to come work for the LSC because it sounded like fun, and I wanted to help someone. In fact, the improvement rate of my tutees has been outstanding;
after tutoring, tutees come in with their tests on which they have gotten 80s to 1OOs. The fact that I've helped them learn is just about payment enough. Bert Moreno, a LSC student, likes the service "because of the flexible hours, and it's self-paced (the programs). I have gotten nothing lower than B+ on midterms." The LSC has a lot to offer students if it is taken advantage of early. Tutors do not need to be geniuses nor miracle workers. It's the greatest feeling to help someone, and my tutees tell me it's wonderful to have someone there to help and encourage them. This is the invaluable asset the LSC offers to this campus: the opportunity to help and get help. The LSC is located in GE 208 and is available to students all year.

ASC praised Editor: It is important to acknowledge that the 1988-89 ASB Council, a diverse group which has cooperatively worked well together all year, has .compiled a tremendous list of accomplishments. This is the result of much hard work on the part of elected and appointed ASB officers and 12 active club representatives, as well as support from classified staff, faculty, and administration. During this past academic year, the ASB sponsored Welcome Day for new students, voter registration, Homecoming activities, SJCC Spirit Squad, San Jose Bowl halftime show, BYOI Pep Band, Christmas Faire, McKinnon School recognition lunch, Holiday Food Drive for communication donation, Valentine's Day Dating Game, Easter Egg Hunt for the campus child care center and for the McKinnon School students, ASB Elections, and the annual
awards banquet-The Black and White Ball. The ASB participated in campus governance with representatives to Personnel Screening Committees, Student Grievance Committee, Budget and Planning Committee, Faculty Senate, Classified Council, and District Retreat, as well as Graduation Committee, Women's week Planning Committee and Facilities Planning Committee-especially as it pertains to the upcoming Student Union remodeling. They participated with other groups on campus to cosponsor speakers Lowell Streiker and the Rev. Farisani, and the L' Alliance Francoise Film Festival. This campus can be proud of the wide range of activities carried out by the AS council as well as the great amount of learning which has resulted. Judy Rookstool Director of Student Activities

Liz is leaving ... Editor: My associations with San Jose City College began five years ago in the Re-Entry Program. I arrived here a terrified student awed by the hallowed halls of academia I have since received my degree and re. turned to the Re-Entry Program as a member of the staff. I am still awed, not by the aca<:Iemics, but by the cultural and experiential diversity of the students and staff. These have been five wonderful years of growth and development for me. These past eighteen months have been especially rewarding. As a San Jose City College employee, I have been able to pass on to others the wisdom thatwas imparted to me when I was a
student here. It will be difficult to say farewell to people who taught, listened, and encouraged me. I grew up here. I developed and completed academic goals here. This is where I polished my professional image. Thank you all, for letting me be a part of your experience. You have been a part of mine. I appre· ciate this expanded vista. As I prepare to leave to join my husband in Canada, I can only pause to reflect; if home is where the heart is, then my home will always be San Jose City College.

SJCC campus suffers from 'sign-us' headache By Mildread Barnett

Signs! We would be lost without them. They guide and direct us along our way, alert us to danger, and inform us of upcoming ~vents of interest Life wouldn't be the same without them. However, there are some of us who feel we can do without them-on our campus trash cans, our office windows, our cars, and other inappropriate places. Recently, a group of students got together to discuss the growing problem of off-campus vendors and others who post signs in unauthorized, inappropriate places. The consensus was that signs are becoming an aesthetic nuisance throughout our college campus. At present, there exists no definite policy on sign-posting. Even our own campus clubs, students, and faculty often have difficulty
deciding upon sign locations. Their choices have sometimes created campus eyesores. In the minds of campus policy makers, there are guidelines for places where signs may be posted; but no formal document containing such regulations has actually been formulated by any of San Jose City College's administration, faculty, or student body. We do have formal procedures for gaining approval for the posting of a particular sign, but we have. nothing which identifies proper posting locations. Because our campus is being invaded by off-campus vendor signs, there is a need for formalized guidelines for sign posting, with penalties for those who do not comply with the rules. A kind reprimand from onlookers would suffice until formal guidelines can be established. Our campus grounds provide
adequate posting areas. Bulletin boards and kiosks are designed for posting ads, announcements, and information. Since off-campus vendors and some on-campus folks are having difficulty limiting themselves to these locations, concerned students, faculty, and other individuals should be .alert to reminding such offenders of the need to protect the beauty of our campus. The appearance and peace of our campus should not be unduly disturbed by clutter and visual disorder. We who have pride in our school are concerned about the increasing disregard for our scholastic environment. As academic and social participants in San Jose City College, let us always be mindful of our responsibility to ourselves and others, for maintaining the dignity of our college community.

That includes abortion. Therein lies the crux of the abortion debate. The pregnant mother and no one else must choose to abort a fetus, and it is the choice that is important Even if abortion is finally proven to be as unethical as robbery or drug trafficking, and if abortion is somehow completely abolished, it still wouldn't be a moral victory because the choice to be good is lost. The choice. Free will-a gift given to humanity by God, second in value only to life itself-is what makes human beings so different from other creatures on Earth. The price is tough decisions like whether a child ought to be born. Ms. X has the right to choose, but her reasoning is another affair. If Ms. X chooses to believe that "MEN are deciding the fate of my child," as she wrote, even though other women like Phyllis Schaffly are just as responsible as some men are, it's her decision to be myopic. If petty political bickerings trigger a war that will put her children into danger, she has a choice. Ms. X can sit on her rear and complain about how terrible life is while her sons die horribly on the battlefield. Or she could do something to
avert the war, to write the President or the leader of a foreign nation, something. All she has to do is decide what to do-and well. A quick history lesson for the skeptical: a few centuries ago, a bunch of upstart colonists chose to fight the British Empire, the reigning superpower of its time. We owe those crazy upstarts our lives and our freedom. The Nazi Party dominated Germany in 1933 because one person chose to vote for the Nazis, and that single vote gave Hitler the victory and the clout he needed to trigger the deaths of millions. I dido 't say making a choice in itself fixed everything, did I? But if one person isn't allowed to make choices when life gives them a choice to make, any victories claimed by anyone are fake • victories, poker games won by an ace hidden up a sleeve. With that in mind, Ms. X, don't expect me to swallow your suggestion that only certain people have a "right to think about who lives and who dies. Just make the right damn choices, would you, please? Now will it be door number one, door number two, door number three, door number four, door number five, door number six....

Disabled students are learning self-reliance By Kathy Flynn The furthest thing from La Ree Kelly's mind that evening, as she prepared for a date, was having to begin her life all over again. She was a specialist in controlled instrumentation nuclear engineering at General Electric, and as she looked herself over in the mirror, she had· no no way of knowing that a blood vessel was about to burst in her brain. Because of the aneurism , she spent eight days in a coma, and five months in the hospital. Through no fault of her own, she was suddenly deprived of her livelihood. She had to begin her life anew. Today, Kelly is getting help for speech problems she acquired from h'er illness through San Jose City College's Acquired Brain Injury (A.B.I.) Program. Vocational retraining is a real possibility for her. Kelly has been on indefinite leave fromG.E. ''The A.B.I. classes have helped me with my speech problems, and have given me emotional support when I felt alone and unequal to
others," said Kelly. Kelly is one of many who have found hope through the Disabled Students A.B.I. program. The program consists of Group Experience class, Cognitive Re-Training and Adaptive Physical Education. The Cognitive Re-Training class, run by Barbara Horrock, acting Coordinator of the Disabled Students Program and a speech & language pathologist, helps students with memory skills, speech and vocabulary as well as aiding them in re-education. ''The driving force behind our A.B.I. program is the students. we strive to help them become healthy, involved, productive, selfadvocates who have skills in selfesteem," said Horrock. According to Horrock, the group experience class helps students come to terms with the fact that they may not be able to return to their prior vocations. The Group Experience class is taught by Sal Strano, a counselor at the Disabled Students Program. The class focuses on re-employment as well as other issues. ''The group experience class is a place where students talk about
and share common problems, learn socialization skills, discuss avenues of re-employment, and the emotional problems they face due to their disabilities," said Strano. According to Lynn Schey, a 19year-old student who received a brain injury in a car accident, the three-part program has helped her in many ways. "I have learned· independence from my family. I have gotten emotional support through the denial, grief and depression that my disabilities have caused," said Schey. Schey said she feels more positive and less frightened about what she must face with the aid if the program. ''The most important thing we need during a time like this is emotional love and support from ·:>ur friends and family. It is too difficult to do it alone," said Schey. The third program the Disabled Students Program provides for A.B.I. students is Adaptive Physical Education, taught by Chris Melvin. The class offers swimming and fitness for life. Melvin works closely with the students, doctors, neuro-psycholo-
gists and rehabilitation counselors. "We work together to help students with range of motion, selfconfidence, balance and mobility," said Melvin. According to Horrock, the staff had five goals when they planned the program. "We looked at developing a program that enabled students to gain knowledge about their head injuries, their strengths and weaknesses, become a mutual support group for each other, become independent, and most importantly, acquire the skills needed to return to a college environment and a vocational situation." Frederick Hoffman, a 24-yearold carpenter, got into the back seat of a car with a drunken driver. He awoke from a coma seven weeks later to find that he had a brain injury. He still suffers from balance problems and memory that keeps him from returning to his original vocation in carpentry. Today, he attends classed in the program. "All we want is to be treated like equal, adult, able people," said Hoffman. Pat Taylor, a carpenter and mother of two, climbed into bed one evening and woke up to a
..· ·..
world of memory and speech loss and physical disability after having a stroke. "I wish people as a whole would stop looking down on disabled people and realize that we are striving to be accepted and able-bodied people," commented Taylor. "This program has enabled me to become strong. I don't have to feel threatened or belittled for not knowing everyday things that other people take for granted," said Taylor. The Disabled Students Program not only provides emotional support and the A.B. I. program, but it also provides outside referrals for housing assistance, basic living skills, socialization, transportation. legal assistance with Social Secu· rity claims, outside counseling and emotional support to the families of the students. "We respect the confidentiality of the students and their families," said Strano. For more information, the Dis· abled Students Program is located in room 310, and the phone num· ber is 288-3746.

Symphony leader has a lot of brass, wind By Ellie Molloy
Darrell Johnston
'(Johnston) has developed one of the finest wind programs in the United States.' Michael Kambietz Band member
Like designated hitters in baseball, musicians who play wind, brass and percussion instruments in symphony orchestras get to watch their colleagues perform, but have few opportunities to display their own skills. 31 years ago, frustration with typical symphonies, which emphasize string instruments, 1eft these players with the San Jose Symphony Orchestra hankering for a chance to be in the starting line-up. "(We) rest a lot and play a few notes," said Darrell Johnston, who was then a clarinetist and is now an instructor of music at San Jose City College. To help escape the obscurity of the big symphony, Johnston put together an ensemble where woodwind and brass instruments would be predominant, and the San Jose Wind Symphony was born. "We started out like a sym-
phonic band, 100 to 150 people, but it was too large," said Johnston. "We wanted to do a more personalized, individualized ensemble that features the individual more than the mass group." The wind symphony, today an adult evening class which meets on Tuesdays in the College Theatre, is sponsored by the Music Department at City College and is composed of 60 adults , ages 18-60. John.>ton conducts the band. "Musicians come from all over the Bay Area," he said. The group not only performs on campus, but at the Center for Performing Arts in San Jose and the Flint Center in Cupertino. They also hold joint concerts with the San Jose State University Symphonic Band. They have been invited to numerous prominent festivals around the country. The next one will be in November in Portland, Oregon, at the Western International Band
Clinic. "We'll be the featured ensemble on their major performance night," Johnston said. Johnston fell in love with music when he was a fifth grader. "There was a salesman trying to sell a violin at the door," herecalled. "I had heard a clarinet and that's what I had in mind. I had to tell my mom that." Johnston took private clarinet lessons and started to play professionally for dance bands and symphony orchestras at the age of 16. He later married a violinist he met when they both played fot the Sacramento Symphony Orchestra. Johnston attributes his success as a professional musician and music instructor to his days at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York which he said is among the most prestigious in the country. The members of Johnston's symphony are as enthusiastic about
him as he is about music. "Obviously (Johnston) is the driving force behind the band and its success," said Michael Kambeitz, a high school music teacher and French hom player. "Darrell is one of the outstanding college educators in the country and an outstanding musician to work with adults. He's developed one of the finest wind programs in the United States," said Lyle Gillison, another high school teacher who has been with the symphony for two decades as a bassoonist. The San Jose Wind Symphony will perform at the City College graduation exercises on June 7 at the Center for Performing Arts. Johnston is especially looking forward to one segment of the program-a 10-minute special feature where his musical ensemble will be doing some typical symphonic band music. "We will have the entire audience looking at us," Johnston said.
Record review
Rockin' 'n' twang in' at every turn ·on Drivin' n' Cryin's Mystery Road By Chris Bucholtz ~spite their Georgia origins, Drivin' n' Cryin' aren't just another southern band cut from the R.E.M. mold. Their new LP, Mystery Road shows they are a rock band with a good understanding of country music... or are they a country band with a good understanding of rock? Unlike those bands who dive straight into the synthesis of those two genres, Drivin' n' Cryin aren't afraid to explore each one separately. And when they do put them together, it isn't with a smooth click, but a loud, satisfying crunch. Mystery Road offers "Ain't it Strange," "Straight to Hell,"
"Peacemaker" and "With the People," all great country-tinged numbers. These are balanced by all-out rockers - "You Don't Know Me," "Toy Never Played With" and "Malfunction Junction." They aren't afraid to gleefully show off their inspirations, either. "Wild Dog Moon," with the "Walk This Way" rhythm of its lyrics and crunchy guitars aplenty, sounds like the song Aerosmith would've written after slopping the hogs. And the punkishly brief "Syllables" (clocking in at a mere 1:24) begins with a Ramone-ian "ONEIWOTHREEFOUR!" that would make Dee Dee envious. Kevin Kinney's lyrics are poetic in the best sense of the word ...:::····:-;-:::;:-:-:·:;:·:::::-:-::;·;:::;·:;:-;-:-:-:-:-:-:-:;:-:-:-· -·

beautiful to the ear, but not at the expense of being instantly touching to anyone who's ever shared a similar experience. Tim Nielsen, Jeff Sullivan and newcomer Buren Fowler prove themselves to be one of the most versatile combos around, matching Kinney's lyrical and stylistic mood swings perfectly. The production of Scott MacPherson (along with Kinney and Nielsen) gives the band a sound that seems more wide open than their last LP, Whisper Tames the Lion, produced by Anton Fier. And although one would be hard pressed to fmd fault with anything on that disk, Mystery Road is without a doubt a big step forward.

Assembly Bill1725
State bill promises college reforms By Ellie Molloy
Community colleges in California have already benefited from a recently enacted reform bill sponsored by Assemblyman John Vasconcellos of San Jose. San Jose City College has received $42,300 in staff development money from Assembly Bill 1725, according to Dr. Michael Divinia, a City College instructor of mathematics and Staff Development Committee Chaiiman. $5 million was recently distributed state-wide for this program. "Funds are specified to be spent for staff, anyone employed by City College full- or part-time, administration, faculty or classified staff," said Divinia. The committee members sent letters and application forms to their colleagues alerting them to the availability of funds. "My sense is that it has stimulated the opportunities for faculty members to revitalize what they are doing and to remember some of the initial visions they had of teaching," Divinia said. AB 1725 has enabled several instructors to improve themselves. French Instructor Dr. Nicole Amon and Instructor of Mathematics Gustavo Valadez-Ortiz gave papers to separate conferences this semester, in Winter Park and Orlando, Florida, respectively. "Without those funds (from AB 1725) I would not have been able to share the information I've been researching for the past three years ... " Valadez said. The trip gave Valadez the
The-revolutionary new legislation will influence the way -the district is run 'for at least 20 years, ' according to Chancellor Richard Goff. chance to learn techniques for "increasing the potential for minority students to excel in mathematics and the hard sciences." Amon's talk on ."The French Revolution and the Problem of Minorities" was so enthusiastically received that she was invited to make the same presentation at the University of Santa Clara. Head Football Coach Howard Gay and Assistant Football and Track Coach Don Stagnaro were also on the road thanks to the legislation. Their destination was the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. "We had an opportunity to attend their football staff meetings, players' meetings and spring foot: ball practice and clinic," Gay said. The coaches spent five days, 12 to 14 hours a day, immersed in football. AB 1725 is an outgrowth of the state-wide Master Plan Review for Higher Education, created by the state legislature, said Chancellor Dr. Richard Goff. Community colleges will be under the influence of AB 1725 "for at least 20 years," Goff said. The bill provides $140 million for community colleges which will arrive in two installments, said Assistant Dean of Humanities and Social Science William Kester. The first installment of $70 million is due in the 1989-1990 fiscal year,
beginning in July, he said. Kester is so delighted with the bill that his work on one element of the legislation will ultimately lead to a doctoral dissertation. "I'll be working on (it) at the University of San Francisco," he said. In the past, community colleges were afraid to implement reforms without funding. The mandated reforms of AB 1725 begin only if funding comes in from the state, said Curtis Richards, consultant to the Assembly Subcommittee on Higher Education. Arrival of the first installment will trigger reforms. The first phase, Richards said, includes the repeal of the credential system for the whole community college system. In its place a minimum qualifications system would be set up, as well as criteria for. hiring, promotion and tenure of personnel. Phase one also includes "peer review" in the employment process and evaluation of teachers already employed~ Richards said. He noted that minimum qualifications will take effect July 1, 1990. Community college students will, in the future, know ahead of time what courses they need to take to transfer to a four-year college, Richards added. "The trans-
fer function is not working now," he said. Virginia Scales, vice president of the California Teachers Association, praises AB 1725. She is looking ahead, though, to the possibility of protecting faculty members in case of lay-offs.
The CfA, which is the bargain. ing agent for teachers, is respon. sible for negotiating fac ulty service areas (FSAs), Scales said. FSAs, which will also take ef. feet July 1, 1990, are subjects re. lated to the main emphasis of each teacher's expertise. Scales noted that " ... in case of a reduction in force, teachers in ... designated areas (FSAs) could move over to the other areas ... " For example, an ESL instructor could teach English or foreign languages, she said.
