Federal judge to speak at graduation

by Rose Mary Wlasluk Staff writer

San Jose City College graduation ceremonies will return to campus for the class of 1991.

Commencement is scheduled at 6:30p.m., Wednesday, June 12. A special stage and seating have been arranged for the occasion in the quad area of the Martin Luther King Jr. Building.

The Honorable James S. Ware of the Federal District Court will be the keynote speaker at City College's graduation. His topic will be consistent with City College'sacademic theme for 199091.

Ware will be speaking on "Ethics and Equality: Visions, Values and Volition." Ware began his legal career in 1972 and worked as an attorney until his appointment to

the Santa Clara County Superior Court in 1988. He was appointed to the federal court Oct. 1, 1990.

More than 200 students are officially graduating, but the number is expected to rise towards the end of the semester.

"We always come prepared with at least three extra caps and gowns for those students who decide at 6 p.m. the evening of graduation that they want to walk across stage," said Charles Southward, dean of student services.

Students generally graduate from City College in three years with either an Associate of Arts or Sciences degree in a vocational field or an A.A. in general education in preparation for transfer to a fouryear institution.

and " ... the administrator of the discipline for which the new faculty is being sought and a representative of the Classified Council and Associated Students shall also be selected to serve on the screening committee, if available."

The new policy also provides that "the screening committee may choose to augment its membership in whatever numbers and for whatever appropriate reasons. However, the committee must maintain a majority of faculty members._."

Faculty at San Jose City College and Evergreen Valley College now have a stronger say in the selection of new faculty members.

The San Jose/Evergreen Community College District Board of Trustees on May 21 approved a hiring policy revision granting that power.

by Mark Townsend Opinion Editor

B•lg cuts bad plannl•ng '

he voters of this state passed Prop. 98 bebecause they felt education was important enough to protect and guarantee.

Now, three years later, education is apparently not as important.

Governor PeteWilson's budget would cut $2 billion from state education and an estimated $270 million from the budget for community colleges.

The effects of this cut could be devastating. According to the state Legislative Analyst some of the possible outcomes of the budget cuts are restriction of student admissions, increases in student fee levels beyond the 20% increase already proposed, restriction of course offerings and reduction or elimination of non-instructional services.

These cuts could not come at a worse time. Enrollment is up because of the recession. People are going back to school m get a better education and improve their skii.ls.

City College enrollment for spring '91 has increased almost 10% and is expected to continue to grow. Where will all these people go if the classes aren't available?

Students will have a harder time getting into the University of California and Califor-

T

nia State University systems because the budget cuts are forcing those institutions to limit enrollment and raise fees.

Community colleges are the only alterna. tive for ~any ~t.udents who are not a~le to afford umversi.tles <;>r. are not yet quahfied to go to the umvers1t1es. They also offer opportunities to learn the language for those who do not speak English.

Industry and business will suffer in the future because of a shortage of workers skilled enough to produce quality products.

How can we compete in the world if we do not have a well-educated work force?

What are the alternatives for people not able to attend college because of the cutbacks? They can stay in lower paying jobs with less chance for advancement. And of course, there is always our overburdened welfare system to fall back on.

With California's exploding population we can not afford to shortchange our schools. Money could be raised from increasing taxes on corporations, the rich and raising the sales tax.

There must be a better way to cut the deficit than endangering our schools.

So what if it's crunch time.

Relax, there is a way to get through the next two weeks.

Students of San Jose City College are now waking up screaming after nightmares about all their assignments, tests and term papers that are hanging around their necks till the end of next week.

Here are some tips designed to keep you out of the nut house and your name off the Admissions and Reco.ds academic probation list.

First off, never assume that your instr ...ctors aren't under the same kind of pressure. They're in high gear too, and probably willing to reward any student who at least gives the impression of being semiprepared for the festivities.

Next, try to get to all your finals 15 minutes early. Grill the instructor about what's going to be on the test. This little trick will relieve any

If that doesn't work, try the old secret wea~lOn. After the test ~ over, as y: u exit the class put on your best imitation of a studcn~ and say to the instructor, oo I really enjoyed being in your class. oo M o s t important, remember you' re not alone, actuaUy your in fine company. There are probably 9,999 other City College students in the same boat with you. We are known as the generation of last minute over-achievers.

Let's face it, most of the students enrolled at City College work upwards of20 hours a week along with a full load of classes.

About next week, here's what you do ... just sit back, buckle down and try yo<.: best.

Pretend the whole thing is an out-of-body experience. As long as . · you show '' ;> for the tests thing can only get bnter.

·

Should student trustee get a vote? he San Jose/Evergreen Community T College District Board of Trustees has seen fit to grant the student trustee some authority and responsibility. Until May 21, the student trustee had only token participation on the Board, a nice chair up there with the big guys, maybe the opportunity to put in his two bits from time to time.

But the student trustee had no vote, and had no authority to make or second modons, rendering his participation essentially symbolic.

The Board approved student trustee Rvbert Robledo's proposal that the student trustee be given compensation, an advisory vote and righ:s to make or second motions.

It sounds good, and in light of Robledo's exemplary performance as student trustee, these changes seem called for.

But one wonders about their appropriate-

ness after he's gone.

The student trustee is not held accountable in the same way the regular trustees are. At election time, the student trustee is chosen by only the paltry few students who care to vote, and even those may be uniformed about the qualifications of candidates.

Giving the student trustee some real powers and compensation for participation lends credibility to student participation in governance, but if the responsibilities are not taken seriously by our student trustees, the result could be at the least a pain in the Board's collective neck.

If, however, students continue to have conscientious representation in the tradition of Robert Robledo, the new policies will be a great boon to the students.

We'll have to see what happens.

by Mark Townsend Opinion Editor

Rudy Rivera concentrates on installing the truss roof in his scale model house.

It's nice to know that there's still one place in San Jose that one can purchase a three-bedroom, twobathroom house for under $20.

Upgrades like a second story loft or a granite frreplace are extra, around 50 cents.

"We don't have room to do it (build houses) on a full scale," said Bill Covey, instructor in the Construction Technology Department at San Jose City College. So they build them on a smaller scale.

In Const. IOIB the students build scaled down houses to the Sunnyvale Dwelling Requirements, one inch to a foot.

Thedepartmentofferslectureand lab classes. "We go to class then we come out here (in the lab) and put what we learned into practice,"said student Bill Higgins.

When the 18 weeks of class are over the students leave with their completed model that serves as a dictionary of useable knowledge.

"We work from the ground up," said Covey. The models consists of the foundation, floor frames, wall frames, ceiling frames and a frame roof. Augmented by any creative additions the builder wants to add along the way.

The student's work in the lab is followed up with work field trips.

Most of the sheds and other portable structures around campus were built by the department, according to Covey.

The Construction department offers a two year Associates of Science degree and a Construction Technology Certificate.

Both programs are designed to teach student skills ranging from framing and plumbing to computer skills.

San Jose/Evergreen Community College District has launched a plan to increase the ethnic and gender diversity of faculty in order to comply with state law.

Assembly Bill 1725 requires community colleges to increase ethnic, female, and disabled staff.

Up to 30% of the staff must come from these target groups by the year 2003.

Rosemary Lucchese, of the district's personnel office, said the distric t's faculty is currently 46% female and only 25% minority.

In order to comply with the bill, the district's Faculty Diversity Project plans to recruit, coach and retain new instructors begining this fall.

Zeke Garcia, project director, said diversity is needed to build a receptive atmosphere for ethnic

students.

Garcia enthusiastically describes the program as unique. One original aspect of this program is the one year mentoring system. ''The beauty of the program is having a full time faculty member working with you," Garcia says, "sharing experience with you."

Along with teaching organizational skills, the mentors will help the newcomers "... participate in campus activities to integrate them intothecommunitycollegeculture," said Garcia.

A $20,000 special project fund from the district Chancellor's Office supports this pilot project.

"We're hoping this program will become a regular part of the budget next year," Garcia said. If successful this program will become the state model. ''There is not a big pool of qualified applicants (from these target groups)," Garcia stressed. This pro-

gram was designed to expand that pool.

As part of the program, Evergreen and City College will each hostthreenewfacultymemberswith M.A. degrees and three interns enrolled in master's programs serving as teachers' aides.

Some may become full time if a position opens in the district. All will at least work in the part-time pool.

According to Garcia there's a shortage of minority college instructors, specifically technical science teachers, so there are few role models minority students can follow.

He says the reasons for this shortage are many. Limited accP.ss to higher education due to high cost and lack of encouragement has often excluded many minorities from teaching positions in colleges while women and the disabled face tradi-

Faculty voice making the delay only 45 days. The faculty members felt the diversity could be found in the shorter period, yet were outvoted. The delay will cost the district $38,000 this year in state funds provided by AB 1725 for, additional full-time faculty.

Alphonso DeAlba, Associated Student Body president at Evergreen, said students needed equal representation on hiring committees since they were most immediately affected by the selection of new instructors, and that students had the best idea of who they wanted teaching them.

According to McBrien, however, faculty members are best qualified to judge the suitability of their peers.

from Page One

Discussion lasted over 45 mi!llutes without any motion by the board. "If you're not going to give us this ...don ' t ask me to have faculty members break their backs on tenure review committes and on evaluation committees," McBrien told the Board.

Trustee Tony Estremera questioned why the issue of standardization had taken so long to come before the board and moved it accept the proposal.

Trustees voted 5-2 for approval with Trustees Richard Bowers and Charles Blackmore dissenting.

The new policy comes into effect immediately, but will not retroactively affect committees currently in place.

Board grants power and money to.student trustee

by Elizabeth Gotelll Cam pus Editor

Students are fmally being taken more seriously at the governing level.

Robert Robledo, student trustee for San Jose/Evergreen Communi ty College District, called for changes in the rights of student trustees.

Robledo, who is currently servi!llg his third term as student trustee, on May 21 submitted to the Board of Trustees a proposal for changes to the district's Governing Board Policy.

"The way things are set up right now, the student trustee is just symbolic, he has no authority, no say, nothing," said Robledo.

Robledo 's proposal, which concerned the Policy's Section 10000rganization of the Board, included the following: A provision that the student trustee may be removed from office for failing to maintain minimum standards of scholarship; Allowing the student trustee the authority to make and second molions; Providing the student trustee with compensation equal to other trust-

ees for participation on the board; and Allowing the student trustee an advisory vo~ which would be recorded in the official minutes.

The proposal was voted on section by section. All of Robledo's proposals were accepted.

While the Board agreed that the student trustee should be compensated, trustees did not feel the pay should be equal to that received by regular Board members.

The Board approved compensation at one-half the rate of other trustees.

Opposing the proposal on all counts was Trustee Charles Blackmore. "The law mandates more responsibility upon the [regular] members. When you consider that I was voted as trustee by 40,000 people, I have a greater responsibility to represent these people. Student trustees are voted in by a couple of hundred students tops, we just don't have equal responsibilities."

Already 19 California community college districts have given student trustees the right to make and second motions, 32 compensate their student trustees for their participation.

Thehighlightofthisyear'sBruce Jenner Classic was the comeback of two of the track world's stars of yesteryear.

Renaldo Nehemiah, former San Francisco 49er and Jenner record holder in the 110 high hurdles, won the event with a time of 13.47 seconds.

Nehemiah barely defeated WashingtonStateUniversity'sTony Li, whose time was 13.52 seconds.

Although the finish was close, Nehemiah said "I was in command.

I didn't want to lose the race as opposed to time."

Nehemiah hopes he will eventually be able to attain a time of "13.08, maybe better," and he hopes to race in next year's Olympics.

Nehemiah reflected on his dual sport career. "I thank God to be a Niner and be the first human to break the 13 seconds. It's something I can cherish forever."

right here in San Jose ________ ,,________

by Mark Gomez Sports Editor Tired of the long, traffic-filled drive to and from Candlestick Park, only to watch-the Giants lose? Then pack up the car and head out to Municipal Stadium in downtown San Jose, home of the San Jose Giants.

The Giants are the class A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, and are currently on top in the CalifomiaLeague's northern division.

Stockton is hot on their trail, while the rest of the league, which includes Modesto, Salinas, and Reno, are fighting for the cellar.

Class A is basically the bottom rung of the ladder on the road to the major leagues.

The next step up for the players would be the Double-A Shreveport team, then the Triple-A Phoenix, which is the last stop before the majors.

All of the players on the San Jose Giants are there for one purpose, to try to make it to the big leagues.

The players play each game with

all they've got, and the fans are often treated to exciting ball games.

The best thing about seeing a game at Muni is the family atmosphere.

People can enjoy hot barbequed food and sit at the picnic tables while eating.

One couple, who would only identify themselves as the Burchfields, have had season tickets for 20 years.

"You can talk to the players if you want to," said Burchfield. His wife added that sometimes they will take the players to breakfast.

"Each season, we adopt one," she said. The Burchfields have also made many friendships throughout the years with other fans who sit nearby.

"Fans here are awesome," saic Giants pitcher Kevin McGehee, who hails from central Louisiana" A lot of them are like family.

Nothing like it... to have a family atmosphere."

McGehee, 22, was drafted straight out of high school by the Kansas City Royals, but decided to go to college at Louisiana Tech. He is a business

Leroy Burrell, who is the third fastest in history in the 100 meters with a time of9.94 (two seconds off Carl Lewis' world record), took ftrst place in the 200 meters with a time of 20.02. Burrell' s time was good enough to win, but believes he can do better. "I haven't even begun the bulk of my training yet. With three more weeks, I can get even better."

Four-time Olympian and '84 Olympic champion in the 100 meters Evelyn Ashford placed third with a time of 11.27. Pauline Davis of the Bahamas won the event with a time of 11.18 seconds.

In the women'smini-heptathlon, which includes the 100 meter hurdles, high jump, and the shot put Jackie Joyner-Kersee took first in the 100 meters with a time of 13 .02. She also took first in the shot put, throwing for a distance of 48 feet, 10 inches.

able to avoid most of the press.

However, his face and neon blue sweatsuit caught the attention of a number of fans, and he signed autographs while talking with Nehemiah.

Mary Decker Slaney, who has set five world records during her career, kept her comeback hopes alive with a victory in the 1500 meters run. Slaney's time was 4:04.92, and broke the meet record held by Svetlana Kitova of the USSR. Trailing Slaney was PattiSue Plumer, the 1990 Track and Field News' Woman Athlete of theYear.

Plumer fmished second with a time of 4:05.04. Slaney also competed in the 3000 meters run, placing fourth with a time of 9:05.04.

Slaney holds the American record with a time of 3:57.12, five seconds off the world record.

The Classic also produced some fme performances from former and future Olympians.

Often called "the most expensive mongrels in the world," Alaskan sled dogs frequently sell for as much as $6,000 each.

The breeding of these dogs seems questionable to the American Kennel Club, but they are some of the most carefully bred, well trained and intelligent dogs in the world.

The problem getting the dogs certifiedasalegitimatebreedisthispresently, each pedigree dog variety is descended from a single breed of dog which was carefully bred for certain characteristics.

Alaskan sled dogs are descended from a mix of breeds, some of which accompanied the first Alaskan settiers, others that the Native Americans domesticated, as well as the local wolf and coyote populations.

Alaskan dogs are even more carefully bred than most pedigreed dogs.

The breeders lives depend on it in the harsh arctic environment. These dogs and their breeders deserve recognition by the AKC.

Feature Editor Sled dogs are not uniform in size or appearance, their ancestry does not originate in a single breed, but they all share certain traits that no other breed possesses. Traits that are very important in keeping their owners alive in the wilderness.

A common misconception about dogsledding, and one which may form part of the barrier to AKC recognition of these dogs, is that dogsledding is cruel and inhumane.

Sled dogs are well treated, many of the scientifically balanced dog foods were specifically developed to meet the needs of sled dogs.

The dogs live to run in harness, anyone who has ever seen a team waiting to run has no doubts about the dogs' own love of the sport.

They bark joyfully, and strain against the brake in enthusiasm, anxious to be on with the race.

Dogsleddingisanunder-appreciated sport, and so are its athletes, the dogs. It's long past time the AKC recognize these remarkable animals.

Learn the past.

Challenge the present.

Imagine the future.

Ever imagine yourself holding an audience enthralled while wrapping your lips around some of the most licentious, libelous, ribald, raucous and downright beautiful prose that ever flowed from pen to paper in the history of the English language? Now's your chance!

San Jose City College's 20th annual summer Shakespeare Festival will be holding open auditions in the San Jose City College Theatre at? p .m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, J une 10, 11, and

g 12.

0

Auditions will be for roles in . two plays, one by William '• Shakespeare, the other inspired by his work and memory.

Twelfth Night, by the bard 1 himself, is one of this year's planned , productions.

The second, "Shakespeare's Women" by Libby Appel and Michael Flachman, should be a heady brew for performers and au-

<lienee alike.

George T. Forrester, producer and artistic director of the Shakespeare Festival described Shakespeare's Women as a compilation ofdialogues featuring women from several of Shakespeare 's plays, brought together at a formal party in the present.

Forrester, producer and artistic director of the Shakespeare Festival encouraged everyone with interest in the theatre and a desire to perform to get involved by auditioning, and said that people who plan on auditioning "should be prepared for movement."

The Shakespeare Festival is also seeking performers and singers to be part of the Renaissance Troupe, members of which will perform music, juggle, sing, dance and otherwise carry on in an Elizabethan manner.

Additionally, the Shakespeare Festival is looking for people to work as sound and light technicians, as stage managers, and to do publicity and box office tasks.

InassociationwiththeSanJose Shakespeare Festival, Summer Conservatory 1991 will be holding performance skills workshops focusing on audition techniques, mime, and stage combat.

Students in the stage combat class will have an opportunity to learn stage fighting techniques with the use of period weapons, as well as unarmed combat.

The workshop on audition techniques will culminate with a chance to audition for local casting directors.

The mime class will center around fundamental mime techniques.

Participants can earn from four to six units of college credit, and some of the technical and management positions will be paid.

Rehearsals will take place from June 14 to July 31. Performances will begin Aug. 1 to Aug. 11.

Good movie, bad women Campus Editor

"Thelma and Louise" makes You want to be bad.

It is the story of two women.

Thelma and Louiseis amovieabout friendship, growth and rebellion.

Once the two women realize they can never go home again they leave all their inhibitions behind them and run for a new life.

The record comes with a parental warning "explicit lyrics". Yes Ice-T' s lyrics are definitely explicit and some people will fmd them offensive, but the message behind his lyrics cannot be ignored.

Ice-T's album "0 G Original Gangster" is a tale about gangland violence, life in the ghetto and life in prison.

His songs are realistic portrayals of how violent life can be in gangs. In the song "Midnight" he raps about a gun battle on the streets, " ... Dropped two nines in his forehead, Evil is bleedin bad, the car seats were turnin red ... " The song "Ho me of the Bodybag", about street life in Los Angeles, accentuates the mood with sounds of gunfrre.

" The song "Body Count" varies the pace of the album. It is thrash rock instead of typical rap, and it rips.

At the end of the tape he speaks against theGulfWarandcompares it to the war on the streets. He uses every curse word imaginable in this album, but his message deserves to be heard.

He even bashes George and Barbara Bush.

No one is safe from his rap.

Black and White Ball rocks boat!

This year's Black and White Ball was a big hit with over 150 people in attendance.

The Ball was held on a cruise of the San Francisco Bay aboard a feny from the Blue and Gold Fleet.

After a wonderful dinner and awards ceremony, the party atmosphere intensified into a fullblown shindig.

A number of attendees, including The Times' photographer, were seized by the swirly throes of seasickness.

The affair was definitely a huge success and a meny time was had by most.

Transfer students fail SJSU's writing skills test

Can you do the write thing?

by Kevin Moore Feature Editor

Are your basic skills up to snuff?

Maybe not. ..

Large numbers of community college transfer students have been failing San Jose State University's I!Jlper level writing skills test. San Jose City College transfers had the fourth highest failure rate, with21% failing the test.

Evergreen Valley College had the highest fail ure rate with 45.7% of their transfer students failing.

West Valley College and De Anza College students did much better with failure rates of only 7.5% and 9.7% respectively.

The large discrepancies between schools follow the demographics of the student populations. Evergreen and City College have much larger numbers of foreign-born students.

The overwhelming rnajL'• ity ui those who failed were not native speakers of English, and many had never taken English lA before they transferred "We won't accept responsibility for these students," said Martha Kanter, dean of instruction at City College, referring to students who bad never taken English at City

College.

Of those who did take English courses at City College, many took the courses two or more years prior to taking the skills test.

English is commonly held to be one of the world's most difficult languages to learn. The California Teachers Association of English as a Second Language asserts that a minimum of seven years of study is necessary to become fluent.

A front-page story in the San Jose Mercury News (Monday, May 20) reported that Asian-born students avoid learning English. They get friends to write their papers for them because English is such a difficultlanguage, and because of high pressure to graduate.

This is only a small part of the problem, and has little relevance to the majority of those who failed.

Many of those who failed the writing skills test failed the multiple choice portion of the exam, not the essay, according to statistics provided by Kanter.

Success on a multiple choice test is more a function of culture than of knowledge. Many foreign-born peoples were raised in cultures where decisions are arrived at

through a circular, or cyclic thought process.

Circular thought processes arrive at conclusions by considering many different aspects of a problem which may seem unrelated by western standards.

Western culture instills a linear thought process where each idea derives from the one before it.

Multiple choice tests are intrinsically based on linear thought processes, according to Kanter. This kind of thinking may be as alien to a foreign-born student as are the thoughts of an insect.

It requires not only the learning of a new language, but entirely relearning basic thought processes, essentially re-tooling their brains.

Proposed solutions to the high failure rate range from prohibitively expensive "total immersion" cour::;;:;~. ·":h.::.~; " - .ud~ilt hears, sees and speaks only English for several weeks or months, to "exit exams" in math and English, taken before a student will be allowed to transfer.

Exit exams, and pre-view skills testing are already planned for implementation, and should catch most of those who are not ready to pass the skills test at San Jose State.

Is it an invasion of privacy, or just another small price to pay for the accelerating pace of technology in the infonnation age?

The State of California has seen fit to require drivers' licenses or state-issued J.D. cards with a magnetically encoded strip along the back.

This is to allow faster, more accurate computer searches of an individual's records.

Carrying the card is now mandatory, and so is jail time for being caught without one.

One step behind the Department of Motor Vehicles, the San Jose/ Evergreen Valley Community College District will be requiring students to make extensive use of either the state-issued cards or similar ones issued by the district.

The schools will not be in a position of enforcing the state-mandated J.D. requirements, but will require that students carry either state-issued or school-issued cards.

The reason behind this is easier, faster record keeping which will

allow better reporting to Sacramento of student contacts (when a student actually uses a school resource).

School funding disbursements rely heavily on these reports.

Proposed uses of the cards range from library checkouts and taking attendance in lab areas to tracking student contacts in the Health Center, Admissions and Records, and the Counseling Center.

"Every place you tum around, we're eventually going to have to report this to Sacramento. An J.D. card is inevitable," said Robert Brown, district director of admissions.

State J.D. cards will be electronically linked to the students' J.D. codes.

The State plans to have total conversion to the magnetically encoded I.D.s some time in the next four years. "We can't wait five years," said Brown.

The school is faced with buying not only equipment to read the cards, but equipment to produce its own cards as well.

The new I.D. cards will be phased in over a three year period, starting in the fall semester of '92.

CASH will be paid for your books.

Bring them to the Bookstore's warehouse during finals.

Giants From Page 8 major and very close to graduating.

The players in the minors seem more friendly, and there is a great deal of interaction between them and the fans. The Giants always take time out to sign autographs and talk with fans.

According to Giants catcher Dan Fernandez, life in the minor leagues "is baseball. It's the same game as when you're younger."

"I love it," said McGehee. "I have no complaints."

Buzz Hardy, who works in the public relations department, said "It's tough.

"If you really want to work in baseball, you have to make sacrifices, such as pay," said Hardy.

While on the road, the team normally plays two cities.

"It's difficult, kinda lonely. We make the best of it, but it's nice to get home after a road trip," said McGehee.

Each player tries his best each game to impress the organization in order to move up the ladder.

"We all pull for each other, but never forget our own personal goals," said McGehee. "It's hard when everybody ahead of you is doing real good," he added.

Fernandez also noted that some players move up to Double A when

they get traded.

During the off-season, most of the players hold jobs or go to school.

Some of the players go home, relax, and " hunt and fish every day."

McGehee is planning to get married in October.

TheSanJoseGiantsaverageabout 108,000 fans per year, with the average rising each of the past four years.

Muni Stadium holds 5,000people, with an average attendance of 3,200 people per game.

The stadium is much nicer than Candlestick Park, and there are no bad seats in the house.

Atanightgameinmid-May,about 1,500 people showed up to cheer for the Giants. The people in the stands are friendlier, and not one fight broke out.

The Giants have sent ten players to th~ major:>, .:;tev~ Decker being the most recent. Decker played in San Jose in the first half of '89, and Mark Leonard, who plays for San Francisco, also played for the Giants in '88.

To live in San Jose, be a baseball fan and never see a game at Muni stadium probably won't kill you, but where else can you go see a Giants game wearing bermudas and a tank top, pay five dollars for box seats, and not freeze to death?

The best kept secret on campus is the new computer lab in the library.

In the same manner students can use a record or video cassette player they can use a state-of-theart computer absolutely free.

Since mid-May four new Macintosh Classic computers with 20 megabyte hard discs, and a high-quality laser printer have been available to every student Available software is limited to HyperCard graphics and WriteNow wordprocessing.

Students can borrow a disc to use in the library or can bring in their own. Use of the laser printer is ten cents per page.

Director of Library Services Russell Fischer says the installation of computers was a natural evolution. "We've had typewriters in the library for a lon6 time".

Fisher says the computers are very helpful to students in completing term papers, reports and organizing research.

"The main reason wegotMacs was because they are easy to use".

Fisher said, hoping students will not feel intimidated While the library offers no instruction, there is an instructional disc and manuals at the loan counter.

"The first student to use the computer had no Mac experience and he was able to do his resume with very little help".
