Field Admit to ease transfers
by AnneEiena Foster Editor-in-Chief
You can turn in your admission application for San Jose State University, pay your fees and get your acceptance letter all in one day, all without leaving San Jose 1 City College. In "Field Admit," a new program organized between San Jose State and four local community colleges, transfer students can streamline their admissions process and eliminate a nerve-wracking wait for an acceptance letter. On November 18, representatives from San Jose State's admissions office will be at City College for a one-day Field Admit event. Admissions officers will be on campus with a portable computerlinked to San Jose State. They will be able to review applications and let students know on the spot if they are accepted. To be eligible for the faster Field Admit process, a student must have completed a Transfer Admission Agreement (T AA) with San Jose State through City College's
Native American Festival
Counseling Department. The student must complete_ 56 transferable units with a 2.0 or better GPA by the end of spring semester, 1992. Field Admit will accept students applying for admission for fall, 1992. "This is really a great thing for transfer students," said Counselor Zee Gibson, who has organized the event with San Jose State. "We're trying to simplify the transfer process more and more," she said. The Field Admit program is the latest in a series of efforts to increase the transfer rate of students from City College to fouryear institutions. Currently, the rate is about 25%, just over the state average of 22.3%. "We want to reduce any barriers possible," said San Jose State Director of Admissions Betty Sundberg. According to Sundberg, the two main objectives of the program are to shorten the time between when students.submit their applications and when they find out if they have been accepted or

rejected, and to allow more time for students to plan for financial aid, housing, and educational direction at the university level. Typically, students may wait four months or more before finding out if they have been accepted to any of the State system universities. By the time students get the word, it is often very late to begin other planning and arrangements .. Transfer admissions agreements guarantee as tuden t that they will receive admission to the contracting university upon completionofamutuallyacceptablecourse of study. Students have faced frustrating delays in transferring after completing a course of study in a community college only to find that requirements have changed. Students completing TAAs will avoid those last minute shocks and can rest assured that their place in the four-year school is secured, as long as they hold up their end of the agreement and complete designated classes.

Class cancellations, overcrowding, cuts in services and a possible loss of pay raises for faculty and staff are all outcomes of this year's tight budget. The operating budget of the San Jose City/Evergreen Valley Community College District, at $60,192,456, is up 4.5% from last year's $57, 568,821, while enrollment is up 3%, as well. Enrollment has exceeded the 1.5% growth cap that the state places on funding for additional students, which will cost the district around $3 million in lost revenues. San Jose City College will receive $23,121,990, up from $21,113,527 last year. A $21,241,554 share will go to Evergreen Valley College, up from $20,062,118. Districtservicessuch as Campus Police will cost $15,828,912 this year, down from $16,393,176. Thelowerbudgetfor District Services does not represent cuts; last year's budget included some "one time" costs which will not be required this year. Some classes have been cancelled both at City College and at Evergreen . Most City College students will probably not notice the cuts, however, because only classes for the Department of Corrections, and some classes for county employees are gone. Evergreen has not fared so well, with 120 sections canceled overall. The pre-summer session has been canceled, accounting for half the total cancellations, with 20 sections being cut from each spring and fall semester and 20 more being cut from various other areas such as the mini-semester courses, according toE vergreen Acting-President Ken Fawson.
The Evergreen class cancellations are in elective classes and there are fewer section offerings in low-enrollment major courses. "We're not opening new sections in classes that are full," saidFawson. State-mandated increases in services such as mecial participation for part-time instructors and parttime classified staff, combined with higher enrollment lead to de-facto cuts for students, and fewer course offerings than normally would be offered with thelargerstudentbody. "I think the impact on the students will be higher enrollment and fewer classes," said Mike Hill, assistant superintendent of administrative services. "Atthispointwe're fortunate that we haven't curtailed services to students ... we' re maintaining our program in a tight budget year." The district receives revenue from thestateLottoprogram, which amounted to about$1.5 million last year, and this year's budget is based in part on an estimate of about the same amount coming in. Overall revenues for the Lotto have been falling, but it's still too early to tell if there will be an effect on the district. Plans for the remodeling of the Student Union and other projects at City College have been in the works for years, and the funds to pay for those projects did not come from state funds but from the sale of land that was set aside for a third district campus that will never be built. There will be no cost of living allowance for faculty and staff from the state this year, according to Hill, but most of the teachers in the district are members of an independent union which negotiates its own contracts. "We haven't gone in with our salary proposals yet," said Faculty Association president Fran McBrien. "This district isn't broke."

Teens have tough ti m~
\TS rut N<lMNA1\0W !! f~f
A
s the Senate Interviews of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas wind down, pro-choicers ready themselves for the expected overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 case which gave Americans the right to safe and legal abortion. Thomas becomes a critical player in this controversy because the Supreme Court, which in recent years has all but eliminated women's right to abortion, is divided on the issue. Having one more anti-abortionist on the high court could endanger the reproductive rights of all Americans. Already the Supreme Court has stopped federal funding of abortions in order to make them less accessible to teenagers and minorities. Anti-privacy acts which require teens to have signed parental consent and women to have spousal consent for abortion are being introduced. Last year alone 450 anti-choice bills were brought before the legislative bodies of America. Anti-choice extremists targeting doctors and clinics which perform abortion have decreased accessibility to abortion by 19% in rural areas and 6% in urban areas. There has been a 22% drop in obstetric and gynecology programs that offer training for early abortion.

People are very rarely satisfied with their present age. Older women with their face creams and mudpacks wish they were younger. Young girls with their makeup and tissue packed bras wish they were older. Teenagers with their relationship, parent and friend problems wish they were anything but teens. I'm finally on my way out of these painful years, so I only welcome the end of them. "What should I wear? Should my hair be up or down? Do the pumps or flats look better with my outfit?" So much worrying goes into The First Date. After a few more dates, the interest dwindles into nothing, and all that's left is the question: "What did I see in him in the first place?'' Then when Mr. Right finally seems to appear, he plays shy, cautious, uninterested, etc. The phone rings ... It's him!

Women who don't wish to reproduce will find ways to terminate their pregnancies. This has been shown repeatedly by mutilated women who hemorrhaged to death after illegal abortions. The U.S. Supreme Court is laying groundwork to bury Roe vs. Wade. Such an occurrence will set women of this country back to the nightmarish days of back alley abortions. The government has turned a deaf ear to the wants of the majority of this country.
District needs trust now Q
our schools are dependent on a nearly bankru t state treasury to supp y them with the ?unds needed to operate. This puts them in a highly vulnerable position. The San Jose/ Evergreen community college district is in less trouble than most. It is sitting on a reserve fund of $4.9 million. The district should take a cue from the state of Alaska, which used windfall funds to set up a permanent fund trust, which pays yearly dividends to all residents of that
state. The district reserve fund should be set into a trust and invested yearly. Yields of 8.5% are common and 12% yields are not unattainable. If the reserve, and such other windfall funds as become available were set in such a trust, not only could the district eventually achieve financial independence from undependable state funding, but our monies would be forever protected against the greedy grabbings of Sacramento bullyboy politicians.

Spend it at home By Todd Mackey News Editor
Listen, do you hear it, the voices from every comer of the land, a common lament. The system isn't working. It is high time that we as Americans putmoreof our energies into rebuilding our decrepi t institution than acting as counselors and benefactors to fledgling democracies and third-world nations. The United States' scholastic standings are among the lowest in the world. Do we not have enough problems of our own ? For many years the United States has played a strategic role in deterring the spread of Communism. "Communism no longer poses a threat to the free world ... ," Secretary of State James A. Baker stated recently. If this is indeed true, let us take measures to wean those countries so dependent on U.S. Federal Aid and move to re-invest dollars into

It's a real world out there. It's a job behind a desk and kids who rant fed and a '71 Chevy that won't pass mog and seldom functions. Dinner is whenever I make it, usually too ate, and the registration on the car is long pverdue. The job comes with plenty of responsipility and no directions, no greensheet. I have o set my own schedule at work and that of tnY co-workers, being mindful to avoid my atal tendency toward procrastination. If I'm late there's no-one there to cover or me or takes notes of what I've missed.

"Yes, one would be nice, in case the cafeteria is busy. The early hours are nice so people can get something in the morning."
"Yes, The prices are reasonable and you get a lot for your money. They are accessable and convenient."
And if I'm out on a day when there's a business meeting I can't very well have my boss arrange a make-up. -Rarely does anyone teil me precisely what is expectep of me. I seldom know ifl'm "doing it right" until it's already done and the complaints or compliments roll in. It's too frustrating and too frightening and it weighs on me like a heavy German meal. I have to figure it all out for myself, and I can rarely trust my decisions with complete confidence, though I have to take total responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. It's real life, but you can have it. Give me school. Give me a schedule and classes and as-
signments. Give me a list of what books to read, and what papers to write and the expectations I am to meet. Tell me in advance how my performance will be judged, with consistent criteria not subject to change with whim or weather. Tell me when I must arrive and when I should leave and what I am to do in the interim. I've been spoiled by education. Cuddled and coddled in these halls of higher learning, I've been spared some of the complexities of real life these=past semesters. My friends and counselors and instructors have guided me~ protected me and comforted me when my bad choices came around to kick me in the behind. They don't expect me to handle everything, or even most things, and generously, they seem impressed with just my good grades and and good intentions and my clever turns of phrase. I don't have to produce any specific result other than a lab report or history paper every few weeks and As and Bs on the homework ... not exactly matters of life or

death or hunger. Given the option I might just spend the rest of my life in school. I can never know enough and my hunger for more information never wanes. I've heard of career students; that could be me. Except that they told me early on that with an education I'm better equipped to make a positive difference in this sorry world we live in. And that having been privileged to have an education I bear a greater responsibility to make such a difference. And that if I don't go out there and use what I've learned to the greater good, my knowledge is all vanity and self-indulgence. It's a sentimental philosophy, but I buy it. So I'm going. Just let me go slowly. Let me hang in here a while longer, in the security of this established routine, where I know where I am going, and who will be there when I arrive, where all the weight is not my own to bear, and the greatest expectation is that I tum my assignments in, typewritten, on time.

Twelve new faces among faculty as semester opens Growth and vacancies created in a number of campus departments by Todd Mackey News Editor
Students will probably notice a lot of changes around campus this year,among them new faculty faces here at City College. Funding from AB 1725 provided monies for twelve new personnel to fill growth positions and faculty vacancies. The new faculty come from a variety of fields and walks of life. "We are very lucky to have a highly qualified staff here at City. Many hold very impressive credentials," said Dean of Instruction Martha Kanter. New faculty members include: Real estate and marketing instructor James "Jim" Black has been a real estate broker for 14 years, specializing in investment properties and finance. Black holds a bachelor of science degree in business and industrial management as well as a masters in business administration from San Jose State University. He has completed post-graduate study at California Western School of Law. Ted Nguyen, a computer technology instructor, earned his B.S. and M.S . in electrical engineering
from University of California at Berkeley in 1980 and 1983, respectively. Nguyen has taught part time at De Anza and Mission Colleges, and worked as a design engineer for the last two and a half years. Diane Graham Martinez, Reentry counselor and career planning instructor, is an alumna of City College. She earned her B.A. and M.A. in social work from San Jose State in 1984 and 1988 respec. tively. She is a member of Faculty Senate. Malcom Evett, air conditioning/ refrigeration instructor, also is a former student of City College. Evett received a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Illinois. He attended U.C. Berkeley for postgraduate study and received a Ph.D. in Chemistry.

The movies tries to give people an understanding of what it is like trying to make it in the music business. It succeeds, and the movie gains credibility in that all the actors were chosen for their musical talents and experience in the clubs of Dublin. Only two members of the cast had any previous acting experience. The Commitments is an entertaining and humorous picture that will leave you feeling good.

Could this be happening to us Bay Area fans. No teams in the World Series. our· invincible Niners lost two of their first three, and golden Joe may be out for the season? The A's and Giants are out of the running this year, kiddies, and I don't care what kind of winning streak either t~ goes on, they will not win their division. No way, no how. g Giant fans are still trying to figure out where they went wrong. The ce, million dollar bomb, Bud Black, will be the losingest pitcher in the majors this year, clearly worth every penny. Will Clark had another great year, il l but without pitching, Will might as well hunt and fish year round. te' So you Giants fans just go jump on the Atlanta Braves bandwagon; ~ I know, youv'e been a fan for years, and you can'teven begin to imagine the Dodgers winning the pennant. But with Otis Nixon suspended for drug use, the Dodgers can only see a clear, blue path to the World Series. You fans of those once mighty A's might as well hang your heads b.! high and stick this one out, because you were there too many times and it · en had to hap~n. Just how many American league titles did you want, 1dr anyway. There is always next year, and since Mr. Jose Trade me to fall Cleveland Canseco will still be in an A's uniform, A's fans everywhere ~ 1 should start wearing T -shirts that read" Ilove Jose," or "Give Jose a raise." We want him to know how much we care. Yeah, right. ·lhe But how can our beloved San Francisco 49ers not make it to the of Su~r Bowl. Anything below the NFC championship game will not be he1 acceptable. s1 The latest report had Joe Montana out at least three months, and after e. the o~ning season loss to the Giants( the only team the Giants have beat) and losing to Minnesota, a 1-2 record is just not that impressive. Young's performance hasn't been that bad, but it hasn't been that good either. The Niners have a number of loopholes in their team, and at best they will have Heather Larson, the Jags middle hitter and a practices spiking the ball while head coach a mediocre season. With the New Orleans Saints off to their best record member of the 2nd team all league last year, Sam Huerta looks on. ever at 3-0, the NFC West looks wide open. photo by Chris Geer ro Don't worry, the Niners will find a way to weasel into the play-offs, 1e but we'll see just how far they can reach. Montana might come back just 1gh in time to be teacher at quarterback during the play-offs. Oh well, at least 1991 Women's Volleyball Schedule we can bank on the Sharks to go all the way, or at least get in some Time Location Opponent Qppor1ent Location Time Date Date fabulous bench clearing brawls. ?p.m. Merced Merced 30 Bye Sept.20 1

"Carlos, who is our one returning team member, is considerably better this year than last He's lost weight and he trained during the summer," stated Hass.

...:8::__r~h:ur:sd:a~y,.:s~ep;..te_m_b_er_1_9._19_9_1 ----CampUS Project offers H.S. students advancement by Heather Wolfe Commentary Editor
Project Advance, a joint program between the San Jose Unified high school district and San Jose/ Evergreen Valley City College, helps high school kids get interested in learning again. High school students can ·take their remaining high school courses, and any college courses that interest them, in a college atmosphere and get dual credit for their work. Counselors at the high school level make recommendations depending on the results of aptitude tests the student has taken all through his or her school career. They then recommend the students to Susan Gutierrez and Peggy Harrington, Project Advance coordinators at City College. The course takes only those who are highly intelligent and presently unmotivated toward school in general. They have the capacity to learn and develop, they just lack the enthusiasm. "By taking classes they are interested in, they get a feeling of accomplishment", said Peggy Harrington, who is an information curriculum specialist at City College. "Almost every single one of them is glad to be here and are getting everything out of it that they possibly can." The students take their high school classes from 12:30 to 3:30, Guidance 96 class, what ever college classes interest them. The program was expected to have 60 students, 30 juniors and 30 seniors, but as it turned out this first semester there are only 41 students. The students get dual credit for their college classes. Three credits of college work is about equal to 10 high school credits. "I belive it to be a really good program," said Mary Wright in the counseling office," and I think it's a great opportunity for the students."
