No change for Deans' titles
Upgrade proposal downed By Brian Wachter City College President Dr. Byron R. Skinner's proposal to upgrade titles for dean-level adminstrators ran into substantial resistance at a recent Faculty Senate meeting. The proposal was considered at the Senate meeting on Sept. 5, and was opposed 15-1, with one abstention. Citing more than 20 community colleges statewide that use such · titles, Skinner had suggested that the title of dean be changed to vic"e president, associate deans be retitled associate vice presidents, and that assistant deans be designated deans. Such changes would help create " an improved image and an atmosphere of culture " for City College, Dr. Skinner said in his July 13 memorandum to the Senate. "Titles convey meaning," Dr. Skinner commented. The college is currently viewed in a kindergarten -12th grade context by some and these changes would help nullify this effect, according to Dr. Skinner. Dr. Skinner stressed that the changes would not be accompanied by a pay raise; they would be upgrades in name only. In his view, City College's administrators
are already performing work which deserves more dignified titles. Dr. Skinner said that he would follow this proposal with one suggesting the creation of professorial rank among City College instruc· tors, which would include a pay raise. Dr. Skinner's proposal has been met with criticism by Fran McBrien, Business Education instructor and California Teacher's Association local president In a written response to Dr. Skinner's proposal, McBrien cites as a major stumbling block in its consideration the fact that he did not consult " the bodies of governance on campus "before making public his idea. McBrien said that she is frustrated by what she perceives as an ongoing rift in the channel of communication between the school administration and faculty. A "blue ribbon" panel established by Dr. Skinner in the wake of last year's Athletics Department probe recommended that better communication be established between the two groups. M-cBrien believes that Dr. Skinner's having made his recommendation " prior to discussion ... flies in the face of the 'blue ribbon' committee's recommendation." McBrien said that she and Dr.
Skinner have differences that are philosophical in nature. "A title change does not convey dignity," McBrien said in response to Dr. Skinner's statement that these changes would reflect a move toward a higher level of professionalism. A person's actions, not their job title, are the things most relevant to professional dignity, according to McBrien. McBrien also doubts that title upgrades for administrators would exist very long without a salary increase. She predicts that after administrators are elevated to their new positions there would be comparisons made to other schools' salaries for like-titled management McBrien said that compensatory raises would then be likely to follow. The matter was brought up at the Faculty Senate meeting on Sept. 5, where it was opposed by all commenting. Counselor Pat Butler rejected Skinner's proposal, and suggested that more appropriate focus for improvement should include the reduction of class sizes and an examination of City College's academic effectiveness. "He (Dr. Skinner) has too much time on his hands if he has nothing better to do than write a memo like this," Butler said.
Election codes to be rewritten
AS president seeks change By Renee Aguilar Mildread Barnett, San Jose City College's ASB president for the 1989-90 school year, has plans which will keep her very busy. Among other things, Barnett is CUrrently working on reinstating a judicial council into our ASB. This COuncil, which is made up entirely of students, handles grievances that students may be experiencing. The judicial council is currently being addressed by the faculty, as a resuJt of last semester's confusion that erupted within the council.
dent affairs - the main purpose of a judicial council. Another job Barnett has begun is the re-writing of the City College election codes. The constitutional election codes were a large factor in last semester's confusion, according to Barnett. Therefore, Barnett has been spending long hours on "a job that should have been done a long time ago." Barnett says nobody wanted to undertake this job, possibly because of time involved. "I'll be seeing that the job gets

The Associated Student Body trustee elections for San Jose City and Evergreen Valley Colleges will be held Monday, Sept. 25, through Thursday, Sept. 28, at each campus. The polls for this special election will be open from 9 am. to 9 p.m., with the exception of the last day when they will close at 3 p.m. Three students have submitted petitions for the trustee position. From City College, the candidates are Cherri Gomez and Bill Erb. Robert Robledo is the sole candidate from Evergreen. This year, to alleviate any problems that may occur during the election, the ASB of both schools have set up a joint election committee to oversee the entire process. This committee has set forth specific rules, regulations and deadlines for the candidates to meet. The election code drafted by the joint committee addresses the types of problems that were encountered last semester and insures a smooth election this time around. Friday, Sept. 15 was the final
day for candidates to submit their petitions. The three students in the running will campaign from Sept 18-22. The election will be held the following week. A candidates' forum will be held on both campuses to aid in raising students' awareness of the issues at hand. • The first forum will be held today at 11 a.m. in front of the Evergreen College library. On the City College campus, the candidates will be visible to students in the cafeteria at 11 a.m. on Friday. Judy Rookstool, adviser to both the ASB and election committee, had praise for the committee. "A great deal of effort has been expended by both campuses to create a document that will facilitate the fairest possible student trustee election," said Rookstool. The election committee consists of eight students, four from City College and four from Evergreen. From City College, members include Michael Hasz, Kathryn Wood, Virgil Dizon and Co-Chair Mildread Barnett. From Evergreen, they are Rosemary Lucero, Anna Hernandez, Keith Saldivar and Co-Chair Neil Wilson.
Campus watchdog Psychology instructor Pat. Butler: his bark packs plenty of b1te By Ellie Molloy When Pat Butler speaks, the administration listens. Butler, a San Jose City College psychology instructor, counselor and Faculty Senate representative, rebels against the status quo. His constant criticism of administration policies sets him apart from his colleagues. Most would rather make peace, not war. Butler, though, is not comfortable with peaceful coexistence. He would prefer to regale listeners with tales of what he perceives as questionable administrative tactics. Colleagues choose their words carefully when asked about Butler, not wanting to make themselves easy targets of his ire. "When I think of Pat Butler, I think he is the type of person who does not suffer fools gladly," said English Instructor and Faculty Senate President Maurice Costello. Butler, the author of "A Loudmouth Speaks Out," a ~page attack on San Jose/Evergreen Community College District policy, shrugs off the possibility of reprisals from the administration. "I'm here about 20 years and still the junior member of the psychology department," he laughed. If Butler suspects a questionable use of district finances he is willing to put in time digging out possible dirt. "I'm the guy who reads the fine print in the budget.... People are not putting dollars in their pockets, but...the administration prefers to spend as little on teaching as oossible." Butler said.
Pat Butler Chancellor Richard Goff, responding to Butler's comments, said, "If we could afford to give our faculty higher salaries, I would." Butler, 43, grew up in Clyde, Calif., a small town of located between Concord and Port Chicago. His vocation in life became apparent at an early age. He admired his psychology teacher in high school. "I sat in class and didn't say much," Butler said. Butler's political activism took off in 1975. He had been teaching for the district on a semester-bysemester basis when a fulltime, permanent position opened up at Evergreen Valley College. "I assumed it was going to be my job," he said. He got fired instead. Butler hired a lawyer and the battle was joined. He won. "I got back pay, tenure and attorney's fees," Butler said with a smile. See Watchdoe, Page 4

Education at 4-year colleges; over-rated ? By Brian Wachter What are the differences between being a university student and being an attendee of a junior college? A university is relatively expensive to attend, hard to enter, and prestigious to graduate from. The junior college is cheap, easily accessible, and offers only a perfunctory A.A. degree or a pass into a university. Thus a university student usually feels he is in a more meaningful academic situation. Does a university student necessarily work harder? Certainly not. Are university instructors an across-the-board better breed? I don' t think so. The level of interest between teacher and student here at City is high. I suspect that this could be a trend due partly to many students here rising from a background of underprivilege. They appreciate the mere opportunity to attend college. And there are a few, like myself, who want to buck established
Editorial
Lowering the limit California Governor George Deukmejian had the power to save lives right at his fingertips, and he chose correctly in exercising that power. By signing Senate Bill408last Friday, the governor lowered the legal limit for intoxication from .10 to .08 percent. The law will become effective Jan. 1, 1989. Approximately 600 individuals every month are arrested in San Jose for driving under the influence of alcohol. Convictions are given in cases where the blood-alcohol level meets or exceeds the legal limit. Why then the concern for lowering the limit? How will a .02 difference be a factor in saving lives? Medical research has proven that all drivers are impaired at .08. The American Medical Association has gone as far as to recommend that the level be reduced to .05, where the driver first experiences impairment of capacity for thought and judgment Although a presidential commission recommended lowering the standards to .08 in 1986, up until last Friday only three states-Oregon, Utah and Maine, had adopted the new limit. California, a state in which almost
everyone drives, cannot afford to lag behind less-populated states on legislation that affects so many of its residents. Some legislators, such as State Senator Bill Lockyer, D-Hayward, oppose the new law. Lockyer feels that the present judicial system is already overburdened, and that increasing arrests would only magnify that problem. Lockyer argues that the lower level "is kind of a carte blanche opportunity for local police officers to bust anybody." But "just anybodies" don't create auto accidents. According to the Highway Patrol, a quarter of this state's alcohol-related accidents involve drivers with lower than the legal .10 blood-alcohol level. The meaning of this seems to be that 25 percent of the accidents that occur happen to dri.vers who were legally safe at the time. If tbe consequences of this law mean that our courtrooms become backlogged, apologies will be made to the lawyers and judges who suffer at the inconvenience. But if just one more innocent person is killed by a "legally safe" driver, to whom then shall we apologize?

prejudice against junior colleges. So far I am pleased and impressed with my education here; I don't expect its quality to decrease when I transfer to a university, but I expect no big increase, either. I think a lot of transfer students scrape so hard just to get in. to a university that when they do get there they are able to outperform those who attended from the start. I have conversed with many San Jose State students who embarrassingly told me that their parents had ordered them to attend college directly after high school or be financially cut off fro m the womb. Such situations lead to confusion; about academic goals and about one's reasons for even attending school. People who have had to motivate themselves face these crises more rarely. So, although a university degree is undeniably valuable, quality learning and opportunity for goal setting in the two year college is available.

Still mad over the spill By Bruce A. Carter Only months ago, it seemed as though the entire nation was up in arms in reaction to Exxon's handling of the Valdez accident. Today, however, life simply seems to have gone on as before- it's back to business as usual for Exxon and America. Those of us who were downright outraged six months ago, disgusted to the point of boycotting Exxon products, are now returning to the pumps, seeming to forget the outrageous lack of concern Exxon exhibited in the wake of their devastating error. Aie we less upset with Exxon today than yesterday, or have we simply given Exxon a reprieve, with our condemnation amounting to nothing more than a momentary slap on the wrist? One day this summer I was riding with a friend who happened to be low on gas. Much to my horror, he proceeded to the nearest Exxon station, citing the fact that it was the only gas card that he possessed. I took the opportunity to state my opinion of Exxon in general, and of the gross negligence I felt its corporate management had shown in the early stages of the clean-up process. I also told him of my continuing personal boycott of Exxon products. He did not react as I had expected. "Most of those stations are franchises," he explained. "All you are doing is hurting the individual owner, not the corporation." There
was a rationale behind his thinking that disturbed me deeply. My conviction to boycott was tested even more thoroughly just recently, when I found myself staring intently at the gas indicator as it pointed to past "empty" for quite a few miles.
'It's back to business as usual for Exxo n and America.' Late at night, far from home, dreadfully low on fuel, try to imagine my joy, then disgust, at findi ng an Exxon station to be the only one open for service. Reluctantly, I obtained the minimum amount of gas required to get myself home. Despite admission of violating my own boycott, despite my friend's contention that boycotting Exxon products does not hurt the corporation, I will continue to bypass Exxon stations, and will continue to encourage others to do the
same. When a mega-corporation like Exxon feels as though it can violate the environment, violate the trust of the very people who support it any times it wishes, then it is time to put a foot down. Exxon may never hear me. They will surely never miss my business. But I cannot, and will not in good conscience contribute to the success of a corporation who cares so little about the world in which we live.

It was a cold, wet Saturday night. Excitement flowing from both teams filled the night air. San Jose City College's Jaguars were attempting to bounce back from the 45-7 beating they took from the College of the Sequoias on Sept 9. Their opponent, the Fresno City College Rams, entered the game ranked 6th in the state and 9th in the nation. They appeared to be well deserving of their ranking. It was a great game just waiting to happen. The Rams, behind their great running back Bavaro, scored the first touchdown of the game. But Fresno muffed their point-after attempt, settling for six points instead. Behind the leadership of quarterback Kevin Hall, the Jags' came right back. Hall connected with B.J. Washington for a 20-yard touchdown pass. First quarter play ended with the Jags leading 7-6. Both teams had trouble scoring in the second quarter. But, with time running out in the half, the Rams scored on an 86-yard punt return, giving them a 12-7 lead. But the Jags wouldn ' t quit fighting. With the ball deep in Rams' territory, Hall attempted to run it in. He instead fumbled the
ball into the end zone, where it was pounced on by Scott Benning for a City College touchdown. Greg Jones ran the ball in for the two point conversion, giving the Jaguars a 15-12 halftime lead as they headed for the locker room. "We never gave up," said quarterback Hall. "When they scored it made us play twice as hard." The Jags came out in the second half visibly frred up. They took the opening kickoff and moved the ball well, but were forced to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Ty Meyers. The lead changed hands several times in the second half, but going into the final moments of the game the Jags were trailing the Rams, 25-24. On their fmal possession, City College had only one minute and twenty nine seconds left, and the Jags were still40 yards away from any chance of victory. The Jaguars quickly drove down field, and the winning score came when Hall ran the ball in from five yards out, resulting in a Jaguar 30-25 victory. "It was definitely a reversal from our 45-7 loss to College of the Sequoias," said Head Coach Howard Gay. "We blocked better, tackled better, and we played better. You do those things and you're gonna win."

Runners expected to excel By Robert Garcia and Frank Cappiello According to coaches Steve Haas and Bob Jones, this year's Men's and Women's Cross Country teams are expected to be much stronger than last year. The men's team has already run admirably in two meets this sea-

son. At the Fresno Invitational, the men finished lOth out of 22 teams and in the Sierra Invitational, the Jags took the fifth spot out of 17 teams. "I see great potential and a lot of desire from my runners," said Haas, coach of the male runners. The Men's Cross Country team is fairly young, consisting of Rick Woods, Lou Ortiz, Joe Amendt, Cliff and Clint Pappadakis, Patrick Leal, Frank Perez, Dave Loucas, and William Nalty. "The odds are against us, but we have the ability to qualify for the Nor-Cal championships," said Haas. "And if we develop and mature, we'll go all the way." The next challenge for the men's team will be at the Two Riv-
ers Invitational, which will be held today through Sunday in Graeagle,
Ca Despite the loss of two runners from last year's squad, things also look promising for the Women's Cross Country team, according to Coach Jones. Debbie Bedal is returning and is stronger than ever, said Jones, as is Anne Clarke, who started the season with a slight ankle problem. Jones feels that the team will be "more than ready" on Sept. 30, when they travel to San Francisco for the Lou Vasquez Invitational at Golden Gate Park. "We should place pretty well next week," said Jones. "It will also give me a chance to see what kind of competition is out there."

"Art is a highly personal statement." So says creator and director Daryl Lindstrom. She is a qualified expert. Lindstrom •s play deals frankly, sometimes frighteningly, with her experience as a woman who is afflicted with breast cancer. The play was conceived after she was diagnosed with the disease in 1985. While walking on the beach with a friend and fellow playwright, Lindstrom first spoke of creating a work whic.h would

done with more clarity and understanding," said Bamett,"unlike last year's ambiguous confusion." Constantly reminded by last semester's mix-up, Barnett is confident that the time devoted to this project will be time well spent. In cooperation with the ASB, Barnett is also working towards improving the communication between the administration, faculty and students. She would like to· "develop a strategic plan to guide this year's ASB productively through this 89-90 school year." Communication seems to be in the nature of Barnett, who said she is "very concerned with improving our relationship with our sister college Evergreen daily through joint effort of both the AS Senate and Council." With all those jobs high on her priority list, there is yet another program Barnett would like to see implemented into San Jose City College. Barnett would like to promote the institution of a College Ambassador Program. This program would have students being a source of information for new students. It would involve recruiting new students from high schools and various other forms on community public relations. The idea of this program stemmed from a conversation Barnett had with ASB advisor Judy Rookstool. Barnett, City College's first black-female ASB president is currently in her third semester and is majoring in Psychology. She was an active member in
the African-American Student Union last semester which, to her, "heightened political aspirations on a campus-wide level rather than a club-level." She also felt that this experience encouraged her to run for office, but she gives most of the credit to her success as a mother. Since she has five children of her own, and feels she has had a high degree of success with them, · Barnett knew she had something she could contribute to society as a whole. Barnett hopes to make that contribution in her role as City College's ASB president Mildread Barnett is definitely a person who not only likes to see, bu talso make things happen. Fellow-student participation is something Barnett takes very seriously. "Get involved, be a participant everyone can contribute and make a difference," is a message Barnett wants to relay to all students.

This success encouraged Butler to join forces with like-minded activists. He served eight terms with the California Teachers' Association (official bargaining agent for the district) and worked on the campaigns of challengers in district school board elections. "We put in candidates backed by the teachers' union ... (and) got a majority of (our) people on the board. We ended up dismissing the chancellor (Otto Roemmick) and reorganizing the administration," Butler said. CTA President Fran McBrien, who teaches Spanish, business and management, admires Butler's tenacity. "He's really the person who developed the chapter and the association to protect faculty rights." And, she added with a laugh, "He's Irish like I am." Butler has worked for winning candidates Zoe Lofgren, a Santa Clara County Supervisor and former board of trustees member for the district, and Tom McEnery, San Jose's mayor. He contributed to the campaign of board member Mary Ruth Gross, but now says "she's in Richard Goffs pocket" And so, too, he said are members Richard Bowers and Charles Blackmore. Board members Charlotte Powers and Rene Bloch are viewed as "open and positive." Goff is not shy about disputing Butler's comments. "In my pocket? That's absolute nonsense," Goff said in amazement when told of Butler's comments. "If Pat is seeing that the board and I are in agreement, that's because the board tells me what to do."
