Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton told 10,000 people at San Jose State Tuesday that the need for new technology and affordable and accessible education are the key to the future to progress for America. Speaking before a crowd at the Tower Hall Quad at San Jose State University, Democratic candidate Bill Clinton emphasized that the Clinton/Gore plan is to offer a national service trust from which anyone who wants to go to college can borrow money, as long as they promise to pay it back in one of two ways. One way is to have a small percentage taken out of their earnings while they work, or by working from one to two years in community service. "If every person in California who got a college education paid the loan back by working for a year or two as a teacher, a police officer, in a housing program, with kids in trouble, with the elderly, to help people with disabilities work and live atbome, ...think of all the things we could do. We could solve the problems of Am~rica and educate a whole generation of people," said Clinton about his education plan. He then added, "But we also have to do something else. We have to finally, ...join the ranks of all the advanced countries of the world and provide basic afford-

Editorial
Water, S.F. Bay still threatened In the largest environmental case ever filed in San Jose, Photo Drive-Up (PDU) has been cited with 179 counts of misdemeanor violations by the Santa Clara County distric;t attorney, and by San Jose City attorney Joan Gallo. PDU's president, vice-president, general manager, and environmental manager have been charged with violating city and state environmental protection laws governing hazardous-waste disposal, and each face fines of up to $1.5 million, and perhaps even jail terms. PDU is accused with flushing toxic metals-such as silver, nickel, and chromium-down sanitary lines, which can result in contaminated ground water that eventually flows into the San Francisco Bay. Contaminated water flowing into the
Bay can prove fatal for the wildlife, wetlands, and marshes of the area, as well as the state protected San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the nonprofit San Francisco Estuary Project. Local officials are upset because state water quality regulators can fine local governments if contamination is found at county treatment plants. Gallo says, "We're talking about excessive and chronic dumping of heavy metals. We'll continue to make an example of any flagrant violator of the law." If Photo Drive-Up is found guilty, it's about time the city of San Jose lowered the boom on them and other toxic polluters, and no time should be wasted in the identification and prosecution of those who are destroying our environment in the name of corporate greed.
Budget cuts were strictly political After a historic 64 day filibuster by Governor Pete Wilson, a state budget was finally signed that promises a grim future for the Golden State. Although the governor's office projects $43.4 billion in revenues for '92-'93, only $40.8 billion is expected in expenditures. So why the cuts? Even after paying off last years deficit, there would still be a surplus if the Governor's projections are accurate. A close examination of Wilson's line item vetoes might provide explanation. The California Highway Patrol was popped with a $33 million cut, perhaps because the CHP officer's union supported Diane Feinstein last election. Wilson attempted to slice $457 million off the ravaged school budget, but re-

len ted after protests from the legislature, the media, and educators. Was this due to the war of words between Wilson and State schools Superintendent Bill Honig? Wilson was also feuding with Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi, who found his Department of Insurance's fraud-control program halved. These examples of Wilson's scorchedearth policy for political rivals might explain why single mothers, the aged, blind people, and the disabled found their health and welfare checks slashed by the Governor: the poor are generally not Republicans. Governor Pete Wilson's mean-spirited attacks on everyone but his political cronies are unconscionable. To the average person, Wilson's actions should speak louder that any of his words: No future for you. Sports Editor

Editor: Though I generally applaud the Sept. 3 Times editorial condemning the homophobia reeking from the G.O.P. platform, I find it ominous that no mention was made of the racist remarks spewed out by party demagogue Patrick Buchanan. B ucbanan, whose speech was intended to ignite the Republican convention and set the tone for the upcoming campaign, had this to say about our inner cities: "As these boys (the National Guard) took back the streets of Los Angeles, block by block, so we must take back our cities and our culture and take back our country." Take back our culture? I'm sorry,Mr. Buchanan, butifl'mnot mistaken the people who live in the poverty, squalor and racial injustice that the G .O .P. helped to create already have a culture. It might not be a culture most Republicans approve of, but it is their own, and they've bad to struggle to keep it alive. As a City College student, I have learned to acknowledge and celebrate multi-culturalism and ethnic diversity. The Republican leadership, it seems, bas not yet learned that simple but all important lesson. I also take objection to the second Times editorial of Sept. 3 entitled, "No Choice." Aside from the fact that it is more of the same tired rhetoric which does nothing
but promote voter apathy (tetlin the voters that all the candidates are bums that should be thrown out is akin to telling them the syste doesn' t work), I find its conclusions faulty. Clearly, as the flagrant G.O.P racism shows, there is a choice to be made between the Republic and Democratic candidates.
I'm sorry, Mr. Buchanan, but if I'm not mistaken, the people who live in the poverty, squalor, and racial injustice that the G.O.P. helped to create already have a culture. If not a purely political or economic choice, certainly there exists a clear moral choice. For me at least the choice is as easy as determining the differen between Nazism and democracy I'm voting for change. I'm votin for Clinton. John Ertel

Robledo for district 7 Editor: Your editorial (No Choice in Election, Sept. 3, 1992) left the impression that there are no good candidates running for office this fall. Looking at the candidates for our own Board of Trustees, it is obvious that there are good, qualified candidates. One example is Robert Robledo, who is running in District 7. As Student Trustee for the last three years, Robledo bas shown a desire to work with all campus groups to develop sound policy for the district
Robledo bas the knowledge and experience our district needs to weather the difficult years ahead. Robledo offers comprehensive solutions to our complex problems. Your editorial stated that "the November elections will give the voters a typical selection." Robert Robledo is not the "typical selection." His voice will be a welcome addition to the Board. At least in District 7, voters can feel confident that there is a good choice in November. Douglas Cortney

Fee hikes hurt students by Mark Gomez Staff Writer
The incomprehensible has been done at the state capital, home of our esteemed governor, Pete "Jellyfish" Wilson. College education has gone to hell in a handbasket. With the recent passing of the California state budget, one which Wilson was determined to have go his way, there is now an increase in all fees at community, state and university colleges. The most drastic being a 29% increase in tuition in University of California system. Students across the board have felt the pinch over the past few years. Higher costs for schooling, longer average years to graduate, more students enrolling each year and more classes being cut Now students are asked to pay more money for fewer classes. Hikes at the community college level should not prove to be too disastrous, unless those students want to transfer and obtain a bachelor's degree. The total for a full time student at a community college jumped to $120 per semester, which is not outrageous. However, community college is where many of the

workplace not only will help them appreciate their education, but may give them valuable employment experience and the edge needed to get a job after graduation. There are other advantages to raising fees as well. The colleges could begin to replace old and worn equipment, improve occupational courses, sponsor more field trips for science classes et cetera. A fee increase could also weed out some of the dead weight the community colleges are forced to carry. How many classes have you been in where all of the students who enroll at the beginning of the semester are there at the end? Probably not very many considering the drop rate at this level of the education system. There were probably ten good students waiting to enroll in that class but were beaten to it by dropouts. We are constantly asking ourselves how our school system has fallen so far behind those of other nations and what we can do to remedy it. The solution is to raise our academic standards and improve teaching facilities. The problem is money is needed to implement these and the only logical way to get it is by raising college tuition.
4 17 candidates file for trustee election Nov. 3 Thursday, September 17, 1992
Margaret Betchel Staff Writer
Seventeen candidates will be running to fill four of the seven trustee seats in the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District. These four new Governing Board Members will be chosen in the San Jose School Board election on Nov. 3. In 1990, voters approved theredrawing of district lines, and the addition of two board members, bringing the number to seven. The district's new areas are based on a 1990 census and were approved by the board of trustees on Feb. 25, 1992. The re-destricting is aimed to have trustees elected by marked geographic locations, rather than a wide open election. In Trustee Area 1, Bobby Dixon, who was appointed in 1991, is the
incumbent. He will be challenged by George Melendez, a teacher. Trustee Area 3 also bas an incumbent seeking re-election, Rene Bloch, who will running against Richard K. Tanaka, a businessman. A long list of candidates are running for the available space in Trustee Area 5, where the incumbent Charlotte Powers is running for City Council and will not be seeking re-election. The seven candidates are Sue Harford Ferdig, a certified financial manager; Christopher Rose, a businessman; Holly Leroy, a business manager; Catherine Hepner, a software specialist; Joe Pandit, a teacher and ci vii engineer; Gary G. Casper a human resources manager; and Blair D. Whitney, a radio business manager. Another six candidates are running for seat as Governing Board

San Jose ranks 62nd in livability by Jack Pavey Staff Writer
Money magazine's annual top cities poll rated San Jose as the sixty-second best U.S. city to live in, up from No. 154 a year ago. Other bay area cities climed in the September issue's rankings as well. In spite of the disastrous fire last October and over 130 homicides to date, Oakland shot up from No. 103 to the No. 15 slot. San Francisco, although plagued by severe budget woes and ever-increasing problems with the homeless, managed to climb 32 places to take 6th. Money's annual survey is based on a sampling of 254 subscribers who evaluate the importance of 44 aspects of city life- ranging from weather to crime- with the results matched against a computer database of city statistics to arrive at the various rankings. The top three cities to live in, according to the poll, are: Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Columbia, Missouri; and Austin, Texas. The bottom of the barrel, ranked No. 300 for the second time, is Waterbury, Connecticut.

The San Jose City College DramaDepartmentopensits 199293 season with the presentation of ''The Marriage of Bette and Boo," by Christopher Durang. In this play, theauthorof"Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You," again has a cast of Catholic characters, but here be deals with the family, rather than with Catholic education. ''The Marriage of Bette and Boo" bas been compared to Neil Simon's "Brighton Beach Memoirs," also a family story told with the generous use of funny oneliners. However, "Marriage" is a tragicomedy, with the tragic element predominating. "Marriage" poses technical challenges for its director, drama professor George T. Forrester, and his staff: the entire play consists of
more than 30 rapidly changing scenes, vignettes which tell the story and which require the use o sliding screens for the transition from one scene to another. And, of course, there is lighting, costuming, sound, and coordination of all into a smooth-working whole. What should be an interesting hour and a half of entertainmen for the audience also sounds like recipe for exhaustion of the tech nical staff. ''The Marriage of Bette an Boo" plays on October 2, 3, 9, an 10 at 8 p.m. and on October 4, an 11, at2p.m. Anyone interested in being p of the technical crew should con tact George T.

Not only does this film focus on prejudice but it touches upon issues such as academic pressure, desires for acceptance, and believing in and defending yourself and your values, as well as trying to uphold the "Code of Honor" at a school such as St Mathews.

Coach Gay still optimistic about season

by Allison Torres Staff Writer
Akim Alexander, no. 94 about to be trampled by a herd of Mustangs during last Saturdays game.
The San Jose City College Jaguars experienced a 43-25 loss against Los Medanos College, Saturday Sept. 12. Running back Troy Gassaway broke out for more than 70 yards, scoring a touchdown run in the first quarter. Los Medanos went on to score 21 points before the end of the first quarter. Both teams scored once in the second quarter, bringing the score at halftime to Los Medanos 27, San Jose 12. The Jags came on strong in the third quarter, scoring another six points and shutting out Los Medanos that period, making the score to 27-18. The Jags reduced the deficit to five points early in the fourth quarter after a Los Medanos field goal was answered by a successful scor-

ing drive by the Jags, bringing the score to 30-25. Unfortunately for the Jags, Los Medanosracked up 13 more points before the end of the game, handing the Jags a 43-25 defeat. Gassaway accounted for 12 of the 25 points scored by the Jags. Tight end Trevor Eyles and inside linebacker Robert Jones contributed a touchdown each. Football Coach Gay was cautiously optimistic about the team's chances in the current season. "Some areas are pretty thin, but we have some real good athletes. We have potential. Hopefully we'll have a contender by Golden Gate Conference," he said. That confidence will be tested next week, when the Jags travelto Fresno Sept. 19 to meet the Fresno City College Rams.
