After a lively debate on the topic at the ASC meeting of March 25, which included hearing concerns from Army recruiters, the ASC decided at the April I meeting to pass the motion supporting the Faculty Senate's proposal. The motion was passed by a vote of 13 to 5, with one abstention. The policy will now go before the college's Administrative Council where they will vote on its merits, before going to Evergreen Valley College.

Do what you want, I don't have to like it by Miguel Delgadillo Staff Writer
Editorial
Put the walk behind the·talk t's another little victory for integrity. IhasSan Jose City College's Faculty Senate voted for the banning of military recruiters from the City College campus, based on the military's discrimination against gays. This is not a vote against the military, nor is it a vote for homosexuals. It is a vote for consistency, for standing behind valued principles, for putting the walk behind the talk. The San JosetEvergreen Community College District's affirmative action policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of "race, religion, national origin, age, disability, status as a Vietnam-era veteran, marital status, political beliefs or sexual orientation." It would be an act of hypocrisy for the district to support the hiring practices of any institution which does discriminate on the basis of any of the foregoing, and allowing military recruiters access to our campus and our students is, in effect, supporting them. As an institution, this district is opposed to bigotry and discrimination. Beginning at
home, the district has taken a stand against discrimination. Now, we begin the process of reaching out to promote the policy of tolerance. Granted, the military's hiring policies are determined by Congress, and are not subject tl) change by any individual service. So it could be argued that the small stand taken by the Faculty Senate here will make no difference where it counts. But similar actions are being taken on colleges and universities around the country. Letters are going out to senators and congressmen. These also are small stands taken on behalf of tolerance and fairness. They add up. Elected officials will listen to their constituencies, particularly in election years. This is the process for effecting change in a democracy. City College's Faculty Senate has started the process. They are to be commended for taking action, for speaking out for fairness and tolerance. They are be commended for refusing to tum a blind eye to the hypocrisy in their own house.
Th e siren song of spring break ow is the time that the thoughts of all students tum to ideas of spring break. Some of us will go to Mexico, maybe for the first time. Some will go to Santa Cruz and bask in the sun. Some will go to visit relatives in distant countries. Some of us will begin passionate relationships that may last a lifetime. Some will begin passionate relationships that won't see the end of the week. Some students will call in sick for work, back up the wheels and head to Palm Springs. Spring break is many things, to many

people. But a word of caution is in order. There are many things out there that can cause a body harm. Be safe. Take care. Know who your designated driver is. If you must engage in sexual activity, use a condom. Keep a couple handy and give them to your friends. By all means, have fun. If you can, temporarily forget about the various types of stress that attending college can induce. But come back and finish the semester. It wouldn't be the same without you.

If you don't care what I think, then why ask my approval ? I have often seen people demonstrate, demanding approval of acts or lifestyles that are contrary to the mainstream. These people insist it is a private decision for them to choose their way of life without a government interfering. Yet, they insist on a public discussion of their individual choices. Freedom to act is not enough; they want approval and permission for their actions. Whether it is the choice of abortion, or sexual preference, there is an attitude that something must not only be legal, but also be socially accepted. These nonconformists succumb to a basic symptom of low selfesteem; they demand mass acceptance. In today' s politically correct world, everyone is expected to believe any lifestyle is acceptable, any philosophy viable, as long as practiced between consenting
adults and causes no hann. We hear laments that young people are confused about what is right and wrong. It's no wonder. When everything is acceptable, nothing is wrong. The problem is, many people want to do whatever they wan~ but refuse to let others call it wrong. But if people can do anything they want, why do they need others' permission ? Many actions are legal, but do violate morality and even common sense. It is perfectly legal for a person over 21 years old to buy and drink a gallon of whisky on a daily basis, but it would be foolish ;some religions would call it a sin. A person can certainly do i~ but should society condone it ? Freedom to act is neither approval, nor permission. People can live as they wish, but should never mistake society's allowance to be approval or en· couragement; legalization is not legitimization. A lot of things are legal but they are still wrong. Freedom of speech is fme, but! don't have to agree with what you say, so don't expect me to.

" Many people, professors and Olber profe ionals working in the field of education, find the oath · ulting, absurd, and would not ·gn it but for the fact that they cannot work, i.e., get a job, pay the rent, eat, etc. unless they do. But this i more than insulting, and it i far from ab urd.

It is possible that this could be used by the government in civil suits against political activists whose actions could be legally interpreted as anti-constitutional, such as war protesters or draft resisters. More likely, the oath is a legal device used to screen out or put pressure on people whose political convictions transcend the idea that service to the state is our ultimate obligation as human beings. There are plenty of reasons to not want to sign the damn thing. The United States Constitution has been used as the legal foundation of a system that used slavelabor as its initial economic base, caused the near extermination of Native Americans, has waged several wars of territorial conquest, such as the Mexican-American War, has used covert operations to subvert and overthrow the legal governments in smaller, weaker nations, such as Guatemala, Iran, and Chile, and has engaged in imperial adventures, such as Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and most recently, the war against Iraq. Within the legal framework provided by the U.S. Constitution, Oliver North, his gang of military thugs, and their congressional cohorts planned freely for pre-fabricated concentration camps to be used in the southwestern U.S. in the event that political unre tsouth of the border "spilled over" into the U.S. itself.

Mayor Hammer gets the Janet Gray Hayes Award by Julie F. Atlas Staff Writer
"You are an inspiration to all women who seek excellence," readstheJanetGrayHayesAward, presented to San Jose Mayor Susan Hammer on March 24 as part of Women's History Month. The Janet Gray Hayes Award, established in 1987, was presented to Mayor Hammer for her outstanding contributions to the community. Janet Gray Hayes, former mayor of San Jose, presented Hammer with the award in the San Jose City College Conference Room, with more than 80 people auending. The nominees for this prestigious award included such local
notables as media and public relations consultant Gay Crawford, Ysabel Duron, newscaster for Channel 4 in San Francisco, Tran Toung Nhu columnist for the San Jose Mercury News, and Nadine Potter who serves on the Board of Trustees of the East Side Union High School District . The award is presented to local women who have excelled as positive role models, have assisted women in the community, or as pioneers in a non-traditional field. Susan Hammer took office as San Jose's 62nd mayor in January,1991. She served as a city councilwoman for eight years, including two years as vice mayor from 1985 to 1987.
Volunteers selected from community colleges throughout California are visiting San Jose City College, March 30-April 2, as an accreditation team to evaluate the progress of the college. About every five years the San Jose I Evergreen Community College District schools prepare a selfstudy. Administration, faculty, staff and students all contributed to City College's self-study. A state accreditation team reviews the self-study, then decides how well City College is doing compared to what colleges are expected to do. The January, 1992 self-study was based upon eight standards. The standards include institutional integrity, educational programs, student services and cocurricular learning environment, faculty and staff, library and learning resources, physical resources, fmancial resources, governance · and administration. Dean of Administration Richard Casey said, "This assures the students that they are attending an institution with integrity." The team's intention is to be helpful, rather than punitive, and Casey feels the team offers valuable advice. Constance Carroll, president of Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, is chair of the visiting team. "San Jose City College is a quality institution with quality programs," she said at a welcome reception for the team on Monday. "We will be focusing on those areas that may need some help or
·improvement" The first priority of the evaluating team is to note strengths and weaknesses that could significantly affect education. The committee then recommends steps the institution can take to solve its problems.
The chair of the team will make an exit summary of the team's fmdings but will not disclose the whole review until June. The board will then make rec. ommendations for changes for the overall betterment of the scbOO.
