Boldon's star rising fast But runner likes being 'just one more face'

by Mark Gomez Staff Writer

As San Jose City College student Ato Boldon walked through down town Seoul, Korea, the two medals he had won at the Junior World Championships draped around his neck, he realized he was no longer just another sprinter.

As he shopped in the hustle and bustle of the busy streets, owners of stores he entered offered, in their best English, that he take whatever he wanted for free, be it shoes or clothes or food. Out on the streets, people came by the dozens to get his autograph, or take his picture, or both.

Meanwhile in Trinidad and Tobago, plans were being made to celebrate the return visit of the current junior world champion in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes. Boldon, 18, will be honored with a parade through the streets of his homeland.

At City College, one day recently, his reception was different.

While students chatted in the quad, Boldon relaxed among a group of athletes, dressed in his white on black Trinidad and Tobago shirt and jeans.

To most people who see him in the quad or pass him on campus, he is just one more face at City College.

And be likes it that way just fine. In fact, he likes it that way

best.

"All the budding athletes can never get enough attention. I was so proudofwhatl'd done, but it started to become a bother. I just want to be me," Boldon said.

Last June, Boldon, a virtual unknown in his own country and internationally, flew to Trinidad to compete in Trinidad'sOlympictrials.Four months, three meets and a junior world championship have changed that drastically.

Students mirror national mood after debates Perot gains admiration, votes; Clinton maintains lead and Bush tails pack

by Otto Waldorf Production Chief

An informal poll conducted by Times staffers Monday, Oct. 12 showed San Jose City College students conforming in large measure to the national mood following the first round of televised presidential debates Sunday night.

The debates were a clearly a topic of interest on campus, as nearly everyone surveyed had watched the entire program. Reasons for watching the debates Varied only slightly, with most people declaring an interest in seeing the candidates face off against one another and hearing their views.

"I wanted to know what each candidate was going to do for the country. I wanted to make sure that whoever I vote for is going to do something for us, and not just for himself," said Rosa Samuel.

"I've been waiting to see how they would stand up to one another," said Lucille Alemania.

Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton and billionaire

Ross Perot came out clearly ahead of incumbent President George Bush in the mini-poll. National polls also showed independent candidate Perot gaining the most from the debates, and this too was reflected in the students' comments . .

"Perot came off as a dreamer, Bush doesn't seem like be's admitting that the country needs a change, Clinton appeared to be the most reliable," said Lucille Alemania.

"I think both Clinton and Busb ... they were too rehearsed. There was no spontaneity in anything that they said ....The whole purpose of a debate is to catch your opponent or opponents off guard. They were so rehearsed that you didn't learn anything. What did anybody get out of it? Nothing . Except for Perot. he had these nice little one-liners, but they're unrealistic," said Annette Hom.

Repent On ColUmbus Day T

Columbo. Columbo's name was presumably anglicized to make for a more palatable hero for American school kids. Nor was Columbo a decent navigator. He was an ignorant, half-bright sailor who's claim to fame was the ability to make the same mistakes four times in a row.

Columbo never set foot on what is now the United States, perhaps because he was too busy wandering around Cuba looking for the Emperor of China.

Columbo's goal was to map a westward route to Asia, and went to his grave in 1506 still convinced that he had

in North America nearly 500 years before Columbo's time. 1492 was not a date of discovery, but the start of an invasion of imperialist buccaneers with an agenda of genocide, theft, rape and enslavement against the native population. According to a recent report by Amnesty International, the murder and abuse still continues to this very day.

There is no hero to worship or discovery to celebrate on Columbus day. It is, however, a day that should be recognized throughout the western hemisphere as a day of mourning and shame.

punctuality, they say, is a virtue. But here at San Jose City College, it is a virtue made somewhat more difficult to practice.

At last check, the clock in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bldg. is one and a half hours slow. A student walking approximately fifty yards more past the swimming pool would discover a clock off by over 5 hours. · How can this be?

A single call to facilities revealed that they had not been informed of the confused clocks, and that they would be out to set them "soon."

Blame economy not schools

Editor: I am writing in reaction to the short viewpoint on high school education.

It would be unfair to blame education for all of the foes of our strained economy. The reason why our school system is screwed up is because no one in our state capitol will give the schools any money.

The budget of our school system was cut to the bone because the wigs in Sacramento can't budget Anyone who has been on campus more our money.

As for the main reason why our than a week knows that the clock over the is the pits, is because no economy GE Quad and the one over the swimming one honors union labor or buys pool are out of wack and can ' t be trusted.

American.

Look at how many Once you get used to it, it's no big deal.

Toyotas, Nissans, and Hondas there Or is it? are compared to Dodges, Fords,

At SJCC, time is truly relative

second full technical rehearsal is grossly unfair. A technical rehearsal tl1ree days before opening cannot and should not be expected to run perfectly.

Mr. Waldorfs last comment ("But until the crew as a whole decides that they want to become part of this production ..." was extremely unfair and totally unjustified. I believe a retraction is in order. However, since a retraction cannot be printed in the Times until after our show closes, I think Mr. Waldorf should find another way to making a public apology before our show closes. For instance, I am sure that KJCC would be willintg to let him apologize on the air.

Perhaps a message in "Open Line" would also be appropriate.

I have been told by someone else who works on the Times that Mr. Waldorf has not the slightest intention of seeing an actual performance of "Bette an de Boo." To review an early technical rehearsal as a full performance and then not even bother to see a performance is a grave injustice to each and every person involved in this production.

The next time you want a play reviewed, it would be appreciated by the cast and crew if you sent sometone who knows something about all aspects of theater if they intend to criticize the whole of the production.

Barbara D' Ardenne Light Designer

Chevies, or Buicks. That is what got us into this mess, not our educational system. We need to keep our high school system so every child can get a free education, we shouldn't give people with learning problems, or late bloomers a degree less than that of the ''Model Student."

If we need to put the blame fa the economy on someone let's not forget who buys Sony, and IKi R.C.A ., or Panasonic, not Electrolux, or Honda and not Dodge. Weare to blame. We don't value America or our children, if we did, we'd buy American and give money to education!

John Nally

Perhaps it's just another reminder that we are in the realm of academia, and what time it really ·· is, at worst, of tertiary importance.

Or perhaps one of the things we are intended to learn at SJCC is to appreciate these clocks for their form alone, and not for their function. In this case, function would be appreciated.

Wilson gives green light to backroom politics

by Christopher Geer Editor-in-Chief

The public's right to know has been waived over the cost of a photo copy.

The esteemed Governor of California, Pete Wilson, has vetoed two bills intended to amend the Brown Act. These amendments would have greatly increased the public's access to governmental meetings.

The new bills would have enforced the present state law requiring that meeting agendas be posted 72 hours in advance. This law was amended to the Brown Act in 1986 after the Los Angeles City Council voted itself a pay increase with absolutely no advance notice.

Wilson cited cost as the main reason for the veto and promised that he " would consider this another year."

The cost, apparently, is far too much for the government to entail for the benefit of public knowledge. The bills would require the public servant to pick up the phone and have their secretary or aid make a two cent photo copy and stick it on a bulletin board.

Wilson may be right about the cost though. In the four and a half years that the advance notice law has been in effect, one local government , the San Diego Unified School District, has applied for reimbursement for costs accrued complying with the law. San Diego's bill came to $402,810.15, theymusthavehad the copies done at the Pentagon.

Outlandish price claims aside, there are very good reasons why our favorite politicians wanted these bills to fail.

First all of, their so called "retreats" would be prohibited. "Retreats" allow officials to conduct local business in far away, thought provoking places such as Bodega Bay or San Diego (I would suggest bringing your own copy machine here).

The bills would also expand the number and types of agencies subject to the open meeting laws, prohibit meetings in places which are inaccessible to handicapped persons (which there should not be anyway) or such places which require a purchase to enter, give anyone the right to video record the meetings, and finally require advance public notice of any meeting planned to be conducted behind closed doors.

It is time to put our foot down and tell Governor Wilson that he and his political cronies serve the United States government.

A government which is for the people and by the people, should allow, in the end, the people to make the political decisions; not career politicians behind closed doors.

If the elected officials do not want the public to know what the bell they are doing as public representatives, they should get out of public office now and stop wasting our time.

The information which is being shared in these private government meetings effects us all, and by law, we should be able to bear it.

Our history tells the facts Five hundred years later, indigenous people, along with a sprinkle of other minorities and some whites, gathered on the is day to reflect on the past, and also, to express our hopes for the future.

Yet when we, the melting pot, speak our minds, we are looked upon by some quarters of the community as crazy or un-American. I bold no grudges against Columbus or his kind, but please don't ask me to trust them, or anyone else who thinks that me and my kind should lay down and be quiet!

Some historians may lie or bind the truth, but our history clearly reveals the facts! The spirit of my ancestors still walk this land, it is for them and for out children that I speak out. No matter what color, we should never lie or hide the truth from our children.

As Americans we shouldn't have to resort to lies. As Americans we should feel compelled to seek out the truth. We shouldn't take everything at face value. I know I don't and I won't!

'1492' not worth a view ~~ ~~~

by Amelia Lara Entertainment Editor

t.=========--___;;;;=====~=====...~

"1 492" attempts to paint a pretty picture of Columbus.

Once again we are bombarded with the lies and delusions surrounding the character, and the events in the life, of Christopher Columbus. This time it comes from the movie " 1492: Conquest of Paradise," the first attempt by Hollywood to make a dollar in this year, the SOOth Anniversary of Columbus' landing.

Directed by Ridley Scott ("Alien", "Thelma & Louise"), and based on journals and letters by Columbus, the movie barely touches on the disastrous effects of the Spaniard' s arrival in the Western world. It is an insult that people will see "1492" expecting a fairly accurate portrayal of Columbus' encounter with the New World. Instead, this movie is just a biased fluke.

Columbus (Gerard Depardieu, of "Green Card") is portrayed not only as a rebellious traveler with brave new ideas, butas a sympathetic, compassionate friend to the Native Indians of the West Indies.

This mm would also have the viewer believe that Columbus established friendly relations with the Indians, that he appreciates the native culture and nonviolently seeks their cooperation. But he is disappointed when he does not find the gold and other riches described by Marco Polo from his travels to Asia.

When Columbus returns a second time to the island with 17 ships and 1,500 men, he finds that the men he left behind to build a colony have been killed by a tribe warring with the friendly natives.

The return marks the breakdown of relations be-

Masks displayed from many countries

by Ilene Meeks Campus Editor

Many different words can describe "The Mask," an art exbibit, featured in the Art Gallery at San Jose City College, displaying a variety of masks from many diverse parts of the world.

Some masks are from countries such as: Indonesia,Mexico, Japan,France,Bali and Italy.

Curators, instructors Steve Salis ian and William Shelly, have been collecting masks for many years.

Shelly first began collecting 20 years ago, starting with masks from Mexico, then from Italy. He has been collecting ever since.

He is teaching the art of mask making to his students in hisdesign classes.

Salisian began his interest in masks with a college group. He also became interested in the photography of masks. The pictures in ._,_

the gallery are photographed by him.

Both instructors have traveled together and individually on their quest for different masks.

Masks are used for a variety of reasons. Some masks are used for decorative purposes. .

Masks are also made for tourists, carnivals, dances, and for use in theaters.

"I like things that are imaginative, where they take some material and use it in a different way," commented Shelly.

"Elephant"- (U.S) is a big white elephant head made out of papier macbe, and was created by William Shelly.

"Super Heroes"-(Japan) are bright, colorful childrens' masks formed of plastic and some from papier macM. "Felix"-(U.S.) is a costume type black and white cartoon cat mask also of papier macbe.

Some masks are made out of a variety of materials.
