Administrators hope summer cutbacks ease future cuts

Once again, with the demand for classes on the and the supply of funds from the state on the
s lb:rease, San Jo~ City College will have little to II'Ovide summer students. "We want to provide students with steady offergs throughout the year with a steady flow instead of ·gdips and cuts," said Dean of Instruction Martha
lanter. F<X" students age 18 and over the state will only up to 2% of annual growth rate, according to Dean of Athninistration, Richard Casey. City College
grew by 30% in enrollment and cut 135 sections during the spring semester.. Last summer, there was a unprecedented need for courses. This summer session offerings will be cut by 30% of what was available last summer. If funds are restored, there won't need to be cuts in the following fall and spring. The general idea is to cut a minimal number of classes each semester so that there are no drastic cuts in any one semester. "Just about every school in the state is facing that cap and we're all sharing in the frustration," added Kanter, "we need to have summer cutbacks to better balance and improve management of our resources."

City College's Hall of Excellence was established in 1986 by former college president Byron Skinner to recognize the accomplishments of past andpresent membersoftheCityCollegecommunity. On display in the Hall are books by former student Amy Tan, author of the best-selling "Joy

I have great respect for responsible journalism and for thoughtful editorial comment. I regret to say that yesterday's editorial, "The verdict on the verdict," represents neither of those. You wrote, "Anybody who knows anything about how police behave in situations like this one was not surprised that it occurred." I submit that you have spoken with no one who qualifies on that point, because I know literally hundreds of law enforcement officers, and each and every one of them who saw the tape was astonished and embarrassed. You also speak about "the system" as if it is something abstract. 'The system" is you, and me, and all of our fellow citizens. When you fail to campaign for and elect responsible officials, you have a government which fails to listen. When you don't register to vote (the means by which prospective jurors are identified), you won't be called to help render justice. When you don'tpay attention to the decisions of our courts and then exercise your vote in tpe confirmation process, you get judges who are consumed with process instead of justice. When you contact all your
friends to find out what excuse they used to get out of jury duty, you leave that task to others and run the risk that you will not agree with the decision they made. "State-sanctioned police violence against black people is as American as apple pie." how wrong you are again, and perhaps the next time a police recruiter approaches, begging quality men and women from all aspects of our community to become part of the solution, you won' t be so hasty in responding, "Not me." 'The way forward is still un· clear," you wrote, and you are wrong again. The price ofliving in a democratic society is steep: it demands your participation. The King verdict and its aftermath represent no less a challenge that faced our forefathers who struggled to come her and many of whom gave there lives to provide us the opportunity to maintain a free and just society.

telling me my life isn't worth shit! My whole life was devalued with two words, "Not Guilty." That was like dropping a match in a puddle of gasoline. The frustration of an oppressed and excluded people has exploded. Many innocent people died. When the flames are put out it's not going to stop there. Police are going to feel more animosity toward Blacks. With that verdict, Blacks are going to fear the police even more seeing that the cops can do as they wish when it comes to keeping us Diggers in our place. All I can say is that a lot of people are going to die; including cops. What else can be done? The best case we had wasn't good enough. And according to the verdict, neither are we.

nthe cool, chill hours of a gray, May morning, San Jos~ City College began to stir to life. On May 6, like other mornings,the groundsmen loaded up their carts with shovels and rakes and went putting off ontheir rounds, the little vehicles grumbling in the still, morning air. The Child Development Center staff served a breakfast of cornbread and juice to sleepy three-and four-year-old children of City College students. By 8 am. the Cosmetology program is in full gear, the rooms and hallways of the department awash in blue and scarlet smocks and hair in a wild variety of exotic colors. Cosmetology students do some of their most creative work on themselves. Over in the Martin Luther King/General Education quad, there are still few signs of life. A military recruiter set up in the quad stood out like a lone sentry, oot a student in sight to invite into his llOfession. But by 10 a.m., the quad is abuzz with the chatter and rattle of hundreds of voices ... "G'morning!" ..."Got an extra pencil?" ... "Hey, dude" ..."When's that test supposed to be?" ... Friends gather in clusters at the benches and concrete seating blocks, updating the produce of the gossip mill, sharing class notes. As the campus' sole food service, the

Nights students tend to be older, people returning to school for a career change, or coming back to college to capture an education passed on long ago. 1be atmosphere is accordingly more serious, though far from solemn. Men gather outside the Construction Technology andElectronicsDepartmentsduring class breaks, laughing and smoking and discussing their girls and cars as much as their assignments. And business is jumping at the catering trucks again, as people come to find substitutes for a dinner probably skipped while rushing between a day job and night school. Among those at the truck, a go-fer from the City College Times is filling the orders for a hungry staff hard at work in the newsroom. They will be there until after midnight, laboring to produce another issue of the college paper.

4A More than just a "Day in the Life" in the making Thursday, May 28, 1992
1he idea sounded challenging:totrytocapturesomeofthe personality of San Jo~ City College by sending out every staff photographer to take picturesofeverythingandanything on a given day on campus. Editor-in-Chief Mark Gomez had to oversee the project.Wednesday,May6was chosen as the day of the shoot. Each member of the class was asked to suggest which aspects of campus life should be given the spotlight. Based on these suggestions, Gomez and Managing Editor Otto Waldorf created a list of assignments, spanning from 7 a.m. until the wee hours of the night, and handed them out to the participating photographers. Photo Editor Chris Geer handled physical preparation andlogisticsfortheproject 1be daybeforetheshoot,Geerrolled over 100 feet of film into 20 rolls of20 exposures each, for a
Th
total of 400 shots, each one a potential masterpiece. Some of the photographers went to great lengths to obtain different types of pictures. AnneElena Foster decided to lie on the ground, hoping to get adifferentangleofthemorning hustle and bustle. Dirk Johnson put on his bathing suit and jumped into the swimming pool head first to try and get an underwater picture. Other photographers met peoplewhorefusedtohavetheir picture taken. One threatened a photographer with a fist raised in the air, a clear indicator of camera shyness. At one point in the morning, no fewer than five photographers descended upon the GE quad, snapping photos of cliquey students doing what is, after all, truly important. After all was said and done, the photographers had captured 400 images. Now came the dif-
ficult part; deciding which photoswould be selected for 'A Day in the Life. ' After lengthy debates and endless agonizing, 19 photos were chosen. Once the pictures were chosen, where they would be placed and to what degree they would be emphasized had to be decided. Finally, the four pages that would become 'A day in the life of San Jose City College' had to be laid out, and captions fitting each photo written. Some staff cut short their Memorial Day weekend to make final decisions regarding final layout. 1be Times staff hopes that you enjoy the finished product. See you in the fall.

Freshman sensation Ato Boldon has experienced highs and lows in the past two weeks. Boldon set a Northern California record for the 100 meter sprint, and suffered a muscle pull in the 200 meter, costing him a chance to compete in all of his events at the state championships. At the state trials, Boldon had a career day, setting two personsal records in the 100 and 200-meter sprints. Boldon ran the 100 meter in 10.22 seconds to set a Northern California record.He suffered a slight muscle-pull in the 200meter, fmishing with a time of 20.82. A week before the state championships, Boldon had received many forms of therapy for the
muscle-pull suffered in the last meet Boldon ran the 100-meter sprint strongly, but was noticably limping the last twenty yards of the heat. He took second place with a time of 10.50 seconds. Head Coach Steve Hass said," It was really incredible. It took a lot of guts to even run the race." Boldon was unable to run the 200metersprint, becauseofhisinjury. Rocky Morris was the second to qualify for the state trials. Morris set a personal record of 14.28, placing fourth in the high hurdles. He also placed third in the 400meter with a time of 51.92 . Bruce Ventura took second in the shot put with a mark of 50 feet,4.25 inches, to qualify for the state meet in Long Beach. San Jos~ City College faired well at the State Championships,

placing tenth in the state as a team with a collective scoreof24 points. Sophomore Rocky Morris placed fifth in the high hurdles with a time of 14.4 seconds, and took second place with a time of 52.06 seconds in the 400-meter. Hass said," Rocky is a good competitor. He does everything he is supposed to do in the race." Freshman Bruce Ventura competed against twelve other athletes in the shot put. Ventura finished fifth with a throw of 49 feet Hass expected Ventura to clear 51 feet in the state championship, because Ventura threw 53 feet all week in practice. " Bruce got into a bad throwing position", said Hass.
