Oeschger's art wraps college in controversy

By Mark Muse White butcher paper covering much of the courtyard between the art and music areas has been the object of controversy on campus.

The colossal work of art was created last week by Ray Oeschger's three- and two-dimensional design dasses.

The classes did the work to study the ideas of the world re-nowned ~onceptual artist Christo Javacheff, se who once wrapped over 100,000 square miles of Australian coast in plastic.

The work was politically as well lS aesthetically motivated according :o Oeschger, who complains that the • :ut area is unkempt and deteriorating. ead "The point is that we need to have .the5omething done about this area. It is 100 ·really a crying shame that this area, thlywhich is our art area, looks so bad," fo-said Oeschger. fie· The work has unleashed someteswhat of a political tempest on carn;tedpus. er." While some students see the work ::ar.as art others seeitas a waste of paper herand a grave environmental irre~esponsibility. ?"I Some students took the liberty of JOn vandalizing the work by defacing it

.r

with graffiti, graffiti that condemned the work as a waste of paper.

A small group of agitators could be seen tearing and spitting at some of the work on the morning of Wednesday, Oct 10.

"It's really ironic, the time period they chose to put [the work] up because it just so happened the student body didn't have any paper to make posters, and then you come over here and see all this paper plastered everywhere. We could re-use that paper, but they left it up so now it's all wet," said Kevin Dishmon, City College ASB vice president.

"It's worth nothing now, it's refuse, a total waste," added Dishmon, who has come out strongly against the work but also admits he has never taken any art classes here at City College.

"Plans [to fix the area] were drawn up about five years ago but nothing has been done about it," said Oeschger, who has wanted the area fixed for the last 20 years.

When confronted with the environmental issues, Oeschger said the points were well taken.

Oeschger says he hopes the knowledge the work has brought his students is worth the paper.

Library expansion plans await 'yes' on Prop. 143

By Michael Hodgson As Proposition 143 on the Nov. 6 ballot goes, so goes the San Jose City College library. A "yes" by voters will provide funds for library growth and improvements. A "no" guarantees the end for expansion dreams.

"We will continue in a stagnant no-growth mode unless Proposition 143 carries," stated Russ Fischer, director of library services.

Essentially, Proposition 143 is a bond that will provide $450 million to supplement a similar bond passed in June. Funds will be used to pay for construction and renovation of facilities at California's public fouryear colleges and universities and two-year community colleges.

According to Fischer, the library needs the planned 5,556 square foot addition in order to provide for any proposed increase in our present book collection.

"If we want to bring any new

books in at present, we have to first remove old ones to create space," said Fischer.

The library also plans to create student study areas so that groups

can meet in the library and work without disturbing other students.

"As it stands now, any group wanting to use the library facilities usually conflicts with other students wanting a more quiet place to study," Fischer said.

The proposed library construction and improvement project will cost an estimated $1,562,861 and will be paid for predominantly by Proposition 143 funds - if the Proposition passes.

The estimated completion date forthe entire project is 1994, with most of the construction occurring

during 1992 and 1993.

When asked if construction will disrupt library services, Fischer remarked, "We will do everything that we can to ensure the best possible service to our students, but as with any construction, dust, noise, and a certain inconvenience are to be expected."

Proposition 143 is a general obligation bond, very similar to that of a homeowner taking out a mortgage to buy a house.

General obligation bonds are often used by the state to help fund major construction projects for schools, prisons, and parks.

California's bonds currently have the highest bond-rating possible.

This allows the state to sell bonds at a very low interest rate, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.

If Prop. 143 is approved by voters, the state estimates that the annual cost of the bond to taxpayers will be approximately $1.52 per Californian.

By Mrchael Hodgson As everyone flies off the handle over the issue of allowing female reporters into sweaty locker rooms full of naked men, let us take a pause and try to look at the situation rationally - if that is possible.

For the record, women do not have a constitutional right to be in men's locker rooms. Nor do men have a constitutional right to be in women'slockerrooms. Thefederal court decision in 1978 dictated "equal access," to athletes, but it said nothing about guaranteeing access to locker rooms for all.

_ Discrimination still legal Why is it, in our modem and "democratic" society, in a society where "freedom" and "independence" are our founding words, the government of the U.S: is blatantly prejudiced and biased against a minority of people?

If certain young, strong, intelligent, athletic, enthusiastic, people wants to join the military, they are refused. They are told that they cannot join up. For those who have already made it in, even if they are at the top of their class, the best officers in the country, they will be discharged from the military.

They could be single, careerminded officers, wanting to be in the military for life, and still be kicked out by their superiors. These people are not drafted, this is the age of the all-volunteer army.

~.SE Just back from Scotland, 'Purple Breasts' to play SJCC

By Marta Norment "Purple Breasts," Daryl Lindstrom's autobiographical play about breast cancer, will be performed for the third time at San Jose City College, 8 p.m. Friday Oct. 26 and Saturday0ct.27,afterayearof successful presentations, including the one at the Festival Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Presented by American Theater Ventures, anon-profit organization, "Purple Breasts" is now directed

by Kimily Conkle and choreographed by Harriet Garfinkle.

The play tells the story of Zoe, a woman diagnosed with breast cancer. It shows her confusion as she struggles through different medical treatments-many times performed in a cold mechanical manner, her hopes to survive and finally, her inevitable death.

"Purple Breasts" was written by Duringthepastsummer, "Purple the late Daryl Lindstrom when she Breasts" was performed at the was a drama instructor at City Col- Scotland's Edinburgh Festival lege.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the graveyard, the people who brought you such film classics as "Dawn of the Dead," "Day of the Dead," "Creepshow," and "Friday the 13th," are remaking the movie that started it all.

That movie is "Night of the Living Dead" and its creators, George A. Romero and John A. Russo, are also behind the remake.

Gore guru Tom Savini will be directing the new color version of the 1968 black and white cultclassic.

"Night ofthe Living Dead" opens on Friday, Oct. 19, and will be playing at the Pruneyard Theater in Campbell, and the AMC 6 Theater in Saratoga, just in time for Halloween.

"Memphis Belle"

True-life tale spurs evocative movie

By Adam P. Segal It's really hard not to like a movie that is as packed with oldfashioned American ideals as is "Memphis Belle," which recounts the final flight of a real-life B-17 bomber of the same name. It's also very unlikely that you'll read many negative reviews of this film, this one included.

"Memphis Belle" is a warm slice of Americana encompassing this country's values, patriotism, honor and courage in every scene.

At times the wholesomeness of the movie becomes sickeningly thick, but somehow always manages to make the audience feel good about themselves.

Eric Stoltz delivers the movie's best performance as Danny Daily, the Memphis Belle's radio operator.

Danny confronts his own mortality in a poem he reads for his crew mates, which is one of the movie's most poignant scenes.

Matthew Modine plays the crew's captain, Dennis Dearborn , and his lack of hero-like qualities, the kind usually found in war movies, makes him an awkward, but endearing character.

In one scene, Dearborn has a heart-to-heart conversation with his plane which borders on campiness,

but Modine manages to bring sin- each man without delving too far cerity to the potentially ridiculous into their characters.

"Memphis Belle" also stars Tate moment.

Selection process for homecoming revised

By AnneEiena Foster The thoughtofhomecomingcalls up images of rosy-cheeked cheerleaders in tiaras and prom gowns clinging, teary-eyed, to the arms of nervous young men in tuxedos who would probably be morecomfonable in their football jerseys.

The annual selection of a homecoming king and queen is an event viewed variously as a beauty pageant, popularity contest, or a fluff show.

Inanefforttochange the purpose and general perception of City College's homecoming contest, the Associated Student Council this fall has revamped the selection process used to detennine who the members of the homecoming court will be.

"The homecoming king and queen should be students who have been active in the school, who have participated and made a contribution," said Tammie Iorio, the ASC's homecoming committee chairperson.

In recent semesters, anyone who desired to do so could run for homecoming king and queen here at City College. They needed only announce their candidacy, meet minimal requirements, and campaign.

In this year's contest, students may become candidates only through nomination by one of three entities,

the Athletic Department, th{ Counseling Department, and th{ AS C. Any campus club officiall) chartered as of Oct 1 could mak{ a nomination for king and queen Of the club nominations, the ASC selected two male and two female nominees as their final selectees.

Candidates must be holders ol an ASB card, be enrolled in nine 01 more units, have a current GP A ol 2.0 or better, have participated in~ campus club or committee and be willing and able to represent the school in various activite~ throughout the year.

TheASC' s nominees are Lash an Arceneaux and Tammie Iorio for queen and Mike Ureuta and Kevin Dishmon for king.

The Counseling Department nominated Terri Malick and Daniel Gunther and the Athletic Department nominated Ilene Meeks and Nick Townsend.

The qualifications of each candidate were verified by the ASC's horne.corning committe and Priscilla Santos, the new ASB adviser.

Elections for this year's hornecoming court will be held oct 22 through 30. Students may vote for the candidate of their choice at polls in the Student Union.

The students of San Jose City College got a chance to express their opinions at the Speech Club's Student Forum staged on the lawn next to the W building, on Tuesday Oct 16.

At 12:30 p.m. a small group of students gathered around a public address system and a podium with a common goal of stating personal priori ties.

"The main priority of Student Forum is to give the student body the opportunity to increase their knowledge of what is happening on campus," said Speech Club President Mike Ureuta.

The idea of having a place and a time where students could assemble and project their feelings was developed by the Speech Club last year.

Master of ceremonies Julian C. Whitney started the forum by urging the audience to "Share what you have to say."

He then requested of any student

within range of the loudspeakers to step forward and take the microphone.

There was no shortage of students wanting to come forward and speak.

A wide spectrum of topics was covered, such as smoking in the Student Union, the lack of communication between campus clubs, the problem of low voter tum-out for elections, religious beliefs, environmental problems and the drug addictions.

"The problem I have is the way people treat the campus. People (other students) don't clean up after themselves," said AugieLimon.

"You need to exercise your rights (by voting) if you want to get things done," said Associated Student Council Vice-President Kevin Dishmon.

He spoke about the the inherent rights and duties of American citizens Another student, Landon Green, spoke about "change."

"His defense was that he was a born-again Christian and a changed person, but that's what he told Mark four and a half years ago, that he was trying to change. " "Mark wanted to give him the benefitofthedoubt," she said, "and look what it got him."

"I feel that if he was a changed person he would have shown some emotion or cried during my testimony." " I'm told there wasn't a dry eye in the house, but the only eyes I caught were his, and they were very dry. He was just staring at me, just looking at me intently."

"He only cried during sentencing," she continued. "He didn't shed a tear for Mark and he didn't shed a tear for me. He only cried for himself."

Green added that significant provementofthecampuscould be accomplished through the student body under a flag with the same goals.

"We all have two things· mon, we'rehuman beings and students. We must unite as dents," he said.

The Student Forum has gathering popularity since it started at the beginning of the mester. The Oct 16 Student lasted twice as long as the held three weeks earlier.

The chance for students to press their ideas or concerns continue to be available.

Forum will be held once every weeks.
