Editorial

Buried in the Saudi sand he country is overrun by ostriches.

T And why should you care?

Ostrichism, the "let's stick our heads in the sand and ignore it 'til it goes away" mentality, could be propelling the country rapidly toward war with Iraq.

History shows that apathy in the face of wrongdoing leads to greater wrongdoing.

The U.S. military is bogged down in Saudi Arabia. We are tumbling toward a war which has no popular mandate of the people.

Real war.

Real people.

City College Computer Lab technician Rob Thomsen is a member of the Marine Reserve. His unit has been called up. He has left his job in the lab and his studies at ·san Jose State University and gone. At best, he will take incompletes in his classes.

He may have to drop them all and repeat them, an entire semester wasted, disrupted by instability half a world away.

Do we want this?

Are we willing to send our sons to die to maintain some access to Kuwaiti oil?

Recent polls and surveys show that the majority of the citizens do not want America going to war. Yet the Bush

administration continues to move in that direction. His call for the deployment of 200,000 new troops to the Persian qulf. is a distinctly threatening action. Even stgmficant GOP senate leaders are calling for a special session of Congress to debate Bush's aggressive Gulf policy.

Yet the objections from the people are barely audible. They may be heard on the bus and over the dinner table, but they are not heard in Washington where they might make a difference.

Americans have more freedom to speak out against objectionable acti~ns taken by their government than people m almost any other country.

And here our objections may have some effect. With enough pressure on Congress we can keep America out of active battle.

Maybe we can bring our troops home from the desert.

Maybe no one has to die. . ..

It is said that the greatest threat to civilization is a silent citizenry.

Will we sit silent once again, ignoring the obvious, ignoring the inevitable, burying our heads in the sand like so many ostriches while George Bush drags our brothers and children into another war?

Editor: Your editorial "Language imperative" in the November 1 issue dealing with the importance of reading and writing is to be commended.

"Those who can communicate effectively will succeed; those who can't probably won't," you said and by "communicating" you did not mean conducting business on the phone. What you had in mind is exactly what San Jose City College is striving to achieve with its Writing Across the Curriculum component of the curriculum: Writing in all classes in order to understand the course material better and to recognize its interconnectedness with ideas and facts learned earlier. We believe that nothing can achieve that goal better than writing in response to meaningful class assignments.

SJCC teachers are fully aware of our students' needs for practice in writing and reading. They know how little preparation students bring to these tasks. Consequently, an observer will find that SJCC instructors give writing assignments and essay questions in diverse classes across the campus.

Your editorial stresses that math, science, or P.E. classes "often minimize writing if it is even practiced at all." However, writing is indeed practiced in these classes at SJCC. Instructors Campi, Hass and Lopez all have their students write in a meaningful context and Mrs. Lopez also asks for book reports and suggests meaningful reading in her classes. Ms. Swanson in P .E. uses

A certain feeling rolls in with the fog every fall, and the first rain arouses a certain sentiment Found buried beneath the Christmas cards and decorations, heard in the greetings of family and close friends, smelled as Mom makes chocolate-chip cookies for the myriads of clowns and fairies who visit the house on Halloween, this particular mist of mood settles upon every reachable heart Yet some will miss the spirit of the season this year, at least the spirit recognizable from childhood.

THE NATION The United States is less pleased than before with President Bush's handling of the Mideast crisis. A USA TODAY survey of615 people shows presidential support has dropped: 52 percent approve of the way Bush is handling the situation- far below the 82 percent he received in August Top priority to 51 percent is saving the U.S. hostages in Iraq and Kuwait.

EX-POW SAYS TROOPS UNEASY: A man who spent six years in North Vietnam's infamous "Hanoi Hilton" prison camp says today's soldiers fear they will suffer the same fate. Eugene "Red" McDaniel, founder of the conservative American Defense Institute, has been trying since 1985 to win release of United States prisoners he claims are still held in Vietnam.

ABORTION BATTLE IN MICIDGAN: Michigan is the new hot spot in the abortion battle. The surprise election of abortion foe John Engler as governor means Michigan could be among the first states next year to pass restrictions on abortion m possibly up to a virtual ban. The state already has a solid majority of lawmakers who oppose abortion.

THE WORLD IRAQIS VOLUNTEER FOR ARMY: Iraqi officials say 8 million men and women have volunteered for the Popular Army, their reserves. Western analysts estimate that the force's strength is probably closer to 600,000. "We train on all weapons, but the emphasis is on close-combat weapons and hand-to-hand fighting," says instructor Abdul Amin Jamil. They are trained for two months - two hours a day, five days a week.

TliATCHER FIGHTS CHALLENGE: An embattled Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher came out fighting against a potential challenge to her leadership of Britain's ruling Conservative Party. Thatcher said she would give no ground to anyone Who dared stand against her in a leadership poll next week. Main Challenger: ex-defense secretary Michael Heseltine. l'ALKS HELD IN BEIRUT: Christian hard-liners held talks with their Syrian foes for the first time in five years, boosting hopes of lasting peace in Beirut and an end to 15 Years of civil war in Lebanon.

Transition from Beverly into Cuddles proceeds

She's on a mission from God- her calling- to bring joy and laughter, relief from pain, a liHie lightness to the lives of those she touches. Beverly Dennison is her nome, and in addition to clowning around in her free time she fills most of her days as a City College student and homemaker. In terms of deciding her future, she never thought of being a clown until she come upon Christianity.

'I feel like God gave me a gift of being able to make people Iough, smile and forget about the problems of the world for that moment.' Cuddles performs primarily for church-related organizations, hospitals, convalescent homes, and of course ... children's parties.

By Adam P. Segal

Janes Addiction "Ritual de Lo Habitual" Janes Addiction delivers more 1990's psychedelic strangeness, including controversial cover art, with their new album.

It warms the heart to see an uncommercial album like this soar up the pop charts. Janes Addiction isnotjustforcollegekidsanymore.

George Michael "Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1" This former teen-dream takes furthur steps to bury his past, and is surprisingly successful on his latest effort.

If Michael's silky voice and song-writing sensibilities hold out, he may give pop a good name.

His rendition of "They Won't Go When/Go" isaheartstopper.

The tame and haunting "Praying for Time" is extremely effective with its save-the-world sentiments.

Living Colour "Time's up" The much-anticipated successor to 1988's "Vivid" has arrived with a thunderous clap of funkyjazz-metal. Unfortun ately, "Time's Up" lacks any song as strong as "Vivid's" smash single "Cult of Personality."

The title track, "Time's Up," is similar in theme to George Michael's "Praying for Time," illustrating the recent trend towards environmental consciousness in music. However, ''Time's Up" isarelentlessauralonslaught.

If you want a good laugh, and some food for thought, check out "Elvis is Dead," which pokes fun at the 'cult of Elvis' and slags the 'king' for ripping offrock'n'roll from black people.

Pixies "Bossanova" The Pixies do a great job of mixing unusual melodies and harmonies with a traditional, gui-

tar-based, alternative rock sound - at least on the opening few songs.

"Bossanova" gets progressively more odd as it plays, and it draws the listener helplessly into the Pixies' world.

By the end of the album, the band that started this record has somehow changed into an altogether different and strange animal.

Megadeth "Rust in Peace" Megadeth continues to chase after Metallica for the top spot in metal, and again falls short This album peaks with the first cut, "Holy Wars," and its descent is smooth and quick.

Multiple personnel changes seem to have zapped Megadeth 's strength of days past. Still, Dave Mustain is an engaging vocalist in a world of metal mediocrity.

With the right people around him, for some period of time, Megadeth should be more of a contender for metal's top spot in the future.

Sepultra "Schizophrenia" ... bad punk rock with long hair and bloody, doomsday lyrics.

Realm "Suiciety" Isn't anyone happy anymore?

Realm deliver 10 tracks of highly proficient speed metal a-la Anthrax with Iron Maidenish dualguitar work, plus, you guessed it, doomsday, save-the-planet lyrics.

Exhorder "Slaughter in the Vatican" With songs about desecrating graves with feces, anal lust, and murdering women because they did not perform well enough in bed, this album probably won't fmd its way under Tipper Gore's Christmas tree.

But, hordes of impressionable, teen-age males will no doubt eat this thrash ('h' optional) up.

Artist Wanda Waldera, whose work is being shown in the City College Gallery through Nov. 21, held a discussion about her work Nov. 14.

During the discussion she explained how her work in abstraction and form developed.

"I wanted to put the idea of space back into abstraction . . . I was missing that."

MostofWaldera's work has been acrylic on canvas or print making, and she is very concerned with color.

"Some of my print making extends on to my painting," she told students who attended the discussion, "we tend to simplify color too much, I like the idea of it being very complex."

Waldera, who has had recent professional and scholastic showings in Los Angeles and Hayward, first came to California in 1973 and studied at Monterey Peninsula College.

In 1983 she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from San Jose State University, and then went on toeamaMasterofFineArts,alsoat San Jose State, in 1988.·

Danny Aiello offers a strong The only thing more terrible than Jacob's nightmares is having to sit performance as Louis, Jacob's through this nightmare of a movie chiropractor turned philosopher.

Each time Jacob reaches the point yourself.

Directed by AdrianLyne("Fatal of coming completely unglued, Attraction," "91 12 Weeks"), "Jacob's Ladder" is a confusing assault of hallucinogenic terror, physical trauma, and ghostly imagery that leads nowhere.

Jacob, played by Tim Robbins("CadillacMan," "Bull Durham") is a Vietnam War Louis is somehow there to realign Veteran turned mail carrier. He is Jacob's spine and his life - almost lost in a brutal world of despair and like an angel.

some clarification. From beginning to end, the audience is left hanging amid extreme close ups and shadowy, sometimes startling, images.

Jacob, several years after Vietnam, is assaulted with haunting and bizarreapparitionsofAJTny combat buddies in the throes of death - a weird gang of gauze-faced demons.

The harrowing ride is further confused by images of the accidental death of Jacob's son, and the bitter destruction of his marriage.

"Jacob'sLadder" was written by Bruce Joel Rubin ("Ghost") who dreamt up this script after a nightmare about being locked in a New York subway station.

My recommendation is to wait for the video, watch it a few times and then maybe you'll know what it means, but maybe not.

Sports Worst season in years for football team

By Mark Gomez The San Jose City College Jag-

uars, coming off two consecutive losses to West Valley Community College and San Francisco City College, will finish their 1990 season at San Joaquin Delta at 1 p.m., Saturday,Nov. 14.

The Jaguars, who are now 2-7, lost to San Francisco 41-23. The Jaguars were outplayed in almost every aspect of the game. The Jaguars gained 301 total yards to San Francisco's 524.

Quarterback Dan Joyner, a 6'2" sophomore from Oak Grove High School, completed 15 of 25 passes for 194 yards and one touchdown.

He also threw the only interception of the game. Backup quarterback John McClendon, a 6'3 freshman from Santa Teresa. completed 4 of 13 passes for 27 yards.

The Jaguars rushed the ball 28 times for a total of 80 yards. The Jaguars' leading rushers were Leonard Aikens, who carried the ball three times for 55 yards, and Jason Moeckel, who carried the ball

Jags spike West Valley

seven times for 22 yards.

B. J. Washington caught six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown, and was the Jaguars leading receiver.

San Francisco's quarterbacks completed 18 of 32 passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed the ball 49 times for 171 yards with no interceptions.

The Jaguars were trailing by only one touchdown at the end of the ftrst half, but gave up twenty points in the third quarter and were unable to catch up.

Next Saturday's game at Delta will mark what may be the Jaguars worst season in years, and is Coach Howard Gay's worst season as head football coach.

The 2-7 record is a big turnaround from last year's 6-4 record, which was strong enough to get the Jaguars into the San Jose Bowl.

Bert Bonnano, the City College athletic director, said I think it's a cycle. We11 be back. He's (Coach Gay) too good of a coach. The last year the Jaguars won the Golden Gate Conference was in 1987.

It's not the NBA, but ...

CBA Jam mers run and gun in San Jose .By Mark Townsend Where do the hungry basketball players go after they're done with college? What is the next step after being cut at an NBA team training camp?

They join teams like the San Jose Jammers of the Continental Basketball Association of course!

Competition for limited space on National Basketball Association teams is intense, with far more players than positions available.

Consequently, many collegiate basketball players end up playing in theCBA. NBA players are" a little quicker, or have one more skill than these guys have (Jammers players)," said Jammers Head Coach Cory Russell.

While the Jammers don 't have Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson, they do have the benefit of Darren Ttllis and Dwayne ''Pearl" Washington, NBA caliber players.

The team also showcases the fastbreak ability of Fresno State's, Jervis Cole.

The Jammers run and gun more than their NBA counterparts, making the games very exciting to watch.

The CBA serves as a farm system for the NBA. The Jammers are affiliated with the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Players from the CBAaresigned

by NBA teams during the season to replace injured starters.

The Jammers ftnished third in their division last season, 4 7.5 points behind the frrst -place Santa Barbara Islanders.

The CBA utilizes a different SCOring format than the NBA, one P<>int is awarded for winning each qtlarter, two points are awarded for Winning a game.

Sankofa returns

Awards

By Mark Muse An artistic and political publication, entitled Sankofa, is being published by a group of people from Charles Murry's Afro-American Culture class who call themselves Nubian Students.

The Nubian Students take their name from a region in Africa where the population held a high regard for knowledge.

"We would invite students and faculty to respond to [Sankofa] with criticism, analysis and/or commentary. Our major effort is to generate an enthusiasm for writing at San Jose City College. Please feel welcome to offer your ideas," said

There's an program on campus that only a handful of City College's 13,000 students will ever need services from. But without the Disabled Students program, the number of success stories at San Jose and Evergreen City Colleges would be greatly reduced.

"Even now, there's a stigma attached to the word 'disabled,"' said JeffNorment,an aide in the Disabled Students program. "We don't treat you as any less of a person here."

Started by Counselor Paul Beddow in 1971, the Disabled StudentsProgram, located in Room 310, provides resources to between 200 and 250 students per semester.

Help includes providing wheelchairs, sign language interpreters, special parking permits, adaptive physical education courses, and tutoring for the learning disabled.

"A learning disability is psychological, and has nothing to do with intelligence," explains Norment.

"We give a diagnostic test and advice, and whatever else they need to manage with."

Directed by Nancy Gressley, the program offers support services for the visually and hearing impaired, as well as the physically and learning disabled.

Joann Bartley, part-time sign language counselor, and Barbara Horracks , speech and language specialist, work with the hearing impaired, while Chris Melvin coaches the adaptive Physical education courses.

Students diagnosed with learning disabilities work with M. A. Johnson for tutoring and scheduling needs.

Counselor Flo Curnutt helps the visually impaired.

Along with recording his reading twice a week, he attends adaptive swimming classes and works on a special computer, dubbed "Sabrina," which enlarges the program until he can make out the letters.

"Not bad, not bad at all," Hollister says, referring to the Disabled Students Program here at City College. "It's much smaller than the one I worked with at San Jose State eleven years ago, much more personalized."

Back in his office, Norment smiles. "I'd like to see more people herer- the program needs more publicity ,and more money, although everybody says that But mostly, people need to know what's available. After all, they've got nothing to lose."
