Tourney leaves 'em speechless age 5

· Had the Oct. 17 earthquake occurred at 9:04 a.m., one of the busiest times of the campus day, instead of at 5:04p.m., one of the quietest, what would the result have been at San Jose City College? What procedure would have been followed?

This is the question District Facilities Manager Phil Mowry would like to see answered.

Presently there is no emergency plan for administrators to follow in the event of a major earthquake, Mowry said. There are, though, · personnel at the college trained to respond in an emergency situation.

Mowry explained that these individuals are primarily administrators, classified staff, campus police officers and grounds department crew who participated in a 40-hour Community Education Public Employees Training Program a year ago.

At the beginning of the fall semester, a green poster with earthquake-response information was posted in each classroom. But, Mowry said, more must be done.

"I think one of our priorities should be to set up some kind of chain of command," Mowry said, "to cope with the problems that do arise."

Coping with the problems that arose on Oct 17 was Charles Southward, Associate Dean of Student Services and Counseling. He was the senior administrator at City CoiJege when the earthquake struck.

Southward's first priority was to check the campus buildings for possible casualties or structural damage. He found none.

Although a written guideline would be helpful, Southward said that anyone in charge would also "have to have a hell of a lot of comm·on sense. The first priorities are lives, then properties."

Taking care of campus property is the responsibility of Robert King. King, as City College's site safety officer, thinks in terms of disaster preparedness.

"My responsibility is to see that the school is prepared for such a

Board encouraged to pursue fairness The problems of attaining educational equity and excellence for African Americans, Asian Americans and Chicanos/Latinos will require commitment and action to support cultural diversity at all levels of governance.

This is why the Hispanic Student Body/MEChA of San Jose City College supports the current study to look at the needs of our multi-cultural society. It is our hope to pursue district elections, which would enhance our level of representation and our multi-cultural democracy.

Good government that encourages minority participation in the decision-making process of our college board is what we seek,

A review of election returns from 1977 to the present demonstrates that the Hispanic community has been very active in seeking representation on the governing board: During the 1977 election, there were at least five Spanishsurnamed candidates; in 1979, there were at least two such candidates; in 1981 , there were at least two, and at least one Spanish-surnamed candidate in 1983.

It goes to show that, at this point, they are not able to gamer the support in at-large elections; thus the board has remained predominantly Anglo, even though the number of Third World students

They were tortured, murdered and mutilated by a U.S.-backed death squad.

Counselors bring wealth of knowledge

By Patrick Boggini

Being a college counselor takes a lot of dedication and knowledge in order to serve the needs of students who can benefit from that knowledge.

There are 11 counselors at City College, but they are not ail fulltime. The 11 part-time counselors equal six full-time counselors.

Every incoming student has to see a counselor, until that student has completed 20 units. Students can see any counselor, but most go through walk-up counseling.

Walk-up counseling allows a student to walk in any day and talk

to the counselor on duty.

Judy Rookstool, who has been a counselor for 14 years, said, "Counselors are an essential part of any camp~S." Ms. Rookstool, who earned her B.A. degree from theUniversity of California, Santa Barbara in Sociology and a Master's degree from San Jose State University in Counselor Education, enjoys being a counselor.

"It's a pleasure to watch students change their lives," she said.

Rookstool thinks that counselors are a part of this change. There are several reasons why Rookstool feds this way.

This page contains stories contributed by members of the Journalism 14 Newswriting class.

The first reason is that "counselors give students great skills," Rookstool said. "Counselors teach students how to register for classes, how to find out which teachers are good, and to map out a .plan of which classes they need tO take, and when to take them."

Rookstool added, "All of these skills are useful organizational and communication skills that everyone needs."

Counselors also have a wealth of knowledge that they share with students,· to help them transfer to a quality four-year college.

Rookstool said that counselors are constantly visiting different

campuses and keeping in touch with faculty from other schools, so they know exactly what is going on with each school.

The counseling department is not always the most popular department on campus, though.

Student Charlie King said, "The counseling department is one big mess. It is just too difficult and time consuming to try and get an appointment with a counselor."

Rookstool feels there is a common misconception about counselors.

Students, she said, think that "counselors just sit at a desk all day and talk. A counselor does many

different things."

In fact, Rookstool has ments, teaches classes, ministration meetings and is rector of student activites. working on her Doctorate The University of San Former City College Andy Santos had praise for counselors at City College.

"Compared to the COUinseJI!lN San Jose State," he said, "the College counselors are much more accessible and more edgeable."

"A counselor is essential to success of a student," said.

Youthful OJ takes to the air (waves)

By Gregory S. Miller

Danny Miller is a 16-year-old junior attending Valley Christian High School in San Jose. He's also one of the newest radio personali-ties at a major radio station in San .

Jose,KWSS. Most people go to a broadcast·ing school before a radio station even considers them for a job. Not true for Miller. At fJrSt, he was just a regular guest DJ over the phone.

Thafs where it all started for him.

"Dave Lewis liked what he heard and a job opening for a night show producer came up. From there, more doors started opening," recalls Miller.

Miller, who turns a tender 17 in December, appreciates the warm welcome he has received so far from his fellow workers.

"They help me," Miller said.

"They' re very positive. I couldn' t ask to work with nicer people.

They're also supportive."

In addition to his job as a night show producer for radio personality "Doctor" Dave Lewis, Miller has had his share of air time, as well.

As a matter of fact, Miller can be heard on a regular basis Sunday mornings from midnight to 7 a.m.

Miller's toughest assignment so far as an employee of the radio station was a 13-hour, overnight shift of production and on-the-air work. But Miller doesn' t seem to mind such a task.

"With the job, you gotta make some sacrifices," he explained.

Miller also realizes the importance of a good education. Upon his graduation from high school in .the spring of 1991, Miller hopes to take his education even further.

"Depending on my job position af~r I graduate from high school, I might not have to take broadcasting school," Miller said, then added, "but a college education is definitely in my future."

Miller sees his job as "a great opportunity (to) meet people and help_people." His appreciation for radio work has also expanded a great deal since taking his position atKWSS. Miller enjoys what he does right now and realizes what a great opportunity he has been given at such a young age. But he does have a particular long-term goal in mind.

"I would like to become a program director someday so 1 can make cl ose to $200,000 a year," Miller said with a twinkle in his eye.

Students of the '80s still car

By Todd Reese

College students in past decades have been some of the most politically and socially concerned people in our society.

Although more subdued than students in the past and having different concerns, today's college students very much have opinions of our world and how to make it better.

Students of the 1960s and early 1970s protested and fought for equal civil rights for all humans and to put an end to a "police action" in Vietnam . Students saw th ese injustices and became absolutely outraged.

"Many Americans, and for that matter, humans, were being killed in a situation that seemed utterly ridiculous to us," said former 1970's University of California a t

Berkeley student Bob Robinson on Vietnam. "We didn't think twice.

We knew it was a bad thing, and we all just went into action to protest against it."

Students today don' t face such immediate problems as the Viet Nam situation, but they do face very important issues that will affect them in the present and in the future.

San Jose City College students see a number of issues that concern them, and, like their peers in the past, would like to make a difference.

In speaking to some City College students, it is apparent that students would like to see some changes in our socio-political environment.

Two broad issues in particular concern City College students recently interviewed.

City College students are concerned about political dishonesty and corruption in government Recently, a number of politicans and religious leaders once trusted, were accused of criminal and ethics violations.

The Iran-Contra scandal is just one of many examples. Thus, one wonders who can and can't be trusted.

"Society will not stand for this type of behavior, and we must put out a clear message to all, that this won't be accepted," said City College student Shirley Paul, "especially when people in great power, those we really trust, are breaking the laws."

"Students can help solve this problem by bei ng an informed voter and selecting their candidates very carefully," said Ms. Paul, who works with other students on a po-

litical "watchdog" group.

First speech tournament

By Maureen Castellanos San Jose City College's First Annual Intramural Invitational Speech Tournament was held Tuesday and, according to speech instructor Merylee Shelton, it was a great success.

In the argumentative category the winner was John Morales, second place went to Christopher Campbell and third place to Rob Thompson; all are SJCC students.

The informative speech category was won by Vince Durham, who placed first with a public service

about the importance of teaching the truth in higher education. Second place went to Randy Watson, and third place to Tran Dao, a re-entry student whose topic was Martin Lurther King.

The keynote speaker of the event was Judge James Ware of the Santa Clara County Superior Court Criminal Division.

Area high school students were also invited.

High school winners in argumentation were: first place, David Bearden, second, Jennai Ecobski and third, Claudia Zeledon.

In the high school informative category Katie Hernandez won first place, Winona Johnson took second and third place went to Duyen Bui. The event was the frrst of its kind to be held at City College.

S.J.'s Cerebral Corps sneaks out a brilliant debu

By Chris Bucholtz The members of Cerebral Corps are the reluctant underground heroes of San Jose's depleted music scene. Unlike many new groups who publicize themselves with obnoxious abandon, Cerebral corps IS almost D~U1Uli~ a\Juut shunning the spotlight It took four years of prodding from local music buffs to get a release from the Corps, and even it came out with nary a notice last summer. But the sheer quality of the Corps' Oxide Sox! might make anonymity impossible.

One listen will make you wonder why this band hasn't yet taken its rightful place in the music neighborhood, somewhere next door to Syd Barrett's rubber playpen and across the street from the Munsters' house.

The Corps' wigged-out, distorted guitar sound and offbeat lyrical approach are psychedelia by way of the Twilight Zone---decidedly dark and unhealthy, but sure to elicit a few nervous giggles here and there.

This cassette-only release (currently available at Tower Records on Bascom Avenue) presents the Corps in a familiar, homey style that's a lot like the way the band has presented itself in rare stage appearances, with lots of weird injokes, odd instruments and occa:>ionnl "gut;SL av~cUll:C:>" by the

band's pals, many of whom probably don't realize they're on the tape.

These goofy digressions don't take anything away from the fact that this is one amazing band, with songwriting skill aplenty.

Need proof? Well, disbeliever, check out the very first tune, "Side Effects," a hopped-up stomp that gives new meaning to "just say no." Then, try on "Electric Shoes" for size, a distortion-reverb masterpiece. "Song for Roger" is a cheerful discourse about murdering one's parents. "It's Always Christmastime" is like waiting for Santa at the Bates Motel. "Sheena Easton's Ghost" will drown you in a sea of guitar effects.

The masterpiece is "I'm Hemorrhaging (in F#)," a driving, op-

San Jose Bowl Ill Jaguars to meet American River to tar ith ng ed lSI

By Frank Cappiello and Bruce Carter San Jose City College's Jaguars will square off against the American River College Beavers in the San Jose Bowl III this Saturday, Dec. 2, at City College.

Although the Jags lost last Friday's Golden Gate Conference title game to Diablo Valley, 17-9, their 6-4 record was still good enough for a berth in the bowl.

"People tend to think only the Conference Champs play in the

San Jose Bowl. That's not the case here," said City College Head Coach Howard Gay. "It's up for grabs. It's whoever gets chosen, and fortunately we were chosen."

"The strength of our schedule was one of the main things that got us invited," said Gay. Still, Gay hopes his team will perform well, proving they were deserving of a bid.

City College's bowl opponent, American River, ended its regular season tied for the Camino Norte Conference championship, as they

lost their regular season finale to Fresno City College, 26-14, then co-champion Sacramento City recorded five consecutive victories before the Sacramento loss.

The Beavers were second in the The Beavers· are currently ranked 9th in northern California conference in offense but also second to last in defense, allowing an and 16th in the State.

"In order for us to win, we'll American River won it' s first three es before losing to have to be balanced on offense, score some points, and do a better job scoring within the 20 yard line," said Gay. Balance has been the name of the game for the Jaguar offense all season.

Quarterbacks Dan Joyner and Kevin Hall have combined to complete 107 of 243 passes for 1,539 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Running backs Leonard Aikens and Sean Mounger pose a doublethreat as they rushed for a total of 942 yards in an offense that averaged 324.4 yards per game.

But the Jaguar defense was often porous, allowing an average of 320.2 yards per game.

The Jaguars' defense will have their work cut out for them Saturday as they attempt to stop Beaver running back Dwayne Owens, who has rushed for 1,102 yards and 21 TO's.

Owens led the Camino Norte conference in scoring and tied for second in the state.

"Hopefully we'll close the season with a win," said Gay. "We haven't lost at home yet, and this should be a positive factor for us."

Tickets for Saturday's game are $7 for adults and $4 for students and will be sold at the gate on gameday.

The knees may fail, but therapy prevails

By Matt Hayward "Someone said once," Assistant Jaguar Football Coach Don Stagnaro noted, "that when God was making the knee, he must have stepped out for a martini."

Perhaps not. Perhaps he didn't know that an athlete could put anywhere from I 00 pounds or more down upon his or her knee at each and every running step. Every time that an athlete runs for a pass or jumps to spike a ball or dunk it, that pressure would be tremendous.

"And so, " San Jose City College's Stagnaro said, "it never fails." Injuries are a part of almost every sport And the knee seems to be the most sensitive to injury.

Arnold Salazar, the college's head trainer, has to provide physical therapy for anywhere from 10

- 20 athletes during any given week. Most of the injuries come from football. With the constant hitting, it's not very surprising.

But football isn't the only supplier of injured athletes. He helps, on the average, three paseball players per week and the same number of girls' volleyball players. And a dozen others from football and other various sports.

The most common injury? The ankle. "That and the knee ... heck, yo u have to run in almost any sport," Salazar said.

What injury is the most difficult to recover from? Back to the knee.

But, Salazar says, athletes can bounce back from arthroscopic knee surgery in as little as 10 days.

Ankles can take two weeks to heal while other injuries, such as See Knees, page 8

That only one bottle, which was filled with fonnaldehyde, spilled in one of the science buildings is evidence, King said, of the college· s preparedness.

King agrees that there should be a campus emergency response plan especially for earthquakes.

"We need to clarify our oncampus decision-making policy.

committee for over a year to develop disaster preparation plans.

So far, they have designed and irnplemented plans for containment of chemical spills.

The next move, King said, is to chart out a table of organization to determine who is in charge and what decisions should be made.

A public awareness and safety brochure display is set up in the campus police office. Students and staff are encouraged to stop by, learn, and prepare themselves.

The key to earthquake preparedness is to educate people, Southward said. Before "the big one" hits, "people need to know what they are going to do beforehand."
