KJCC gets hit with $2,000 fine by Christopher Geer Editor-in-Chief
For the frrst time in more than eight years of broadcasting, San JoseCityCollege'sKJCChas been fined $2,000 by the Federal Communications Commission. The fme comes after a surprise visit from an agent of the FCC on Nov. 3, 1992 in response to an allegation filed by KKSF, a commercial station in Modesto, that KJCCwasdegrading their station's signal by broadcasting at excessive wattage. The formal charge from the FCC is that KJCC "willfully" violated FCC regulations by broadcasting, without a license, on 104.1 FM. Technically, KJCC has never been licensed to operate on any frequency. The station usually operates within guidelines provided by the FCC for unlicensed stations. Private stations are allowed to lroadcast at 250 microvolts per
meter, which equals about half a watt, which at best, can be received from 1 mile away. When David Doone, a FCC agent from the Hayward, came to City College to investigate KKSF' s allegations, he found KJCC to be broadcasting at 11 .5 watts, over 100 times the legal limit "If I knew we were in violation, I would have reached over and shut off the switch." said Raymond Collins, Broadcasting Instructor. There are two possibilities for the reason why KJCC was broadcasting at such a high voltage: an attenuator inside the transmitter could have failed causing the power to increase or someone physically turned up the voltage without permission. Both possibilities are being investigated by an outside engineer. "I would like to believe the electronic failure myselfrather than somebody went in there and cranked it up," said Collins.

The Faculty Association, headed by City College instructor Fran McBrien, refused a similar offer that the classified/administrators accepted. The teachers insists that all part-time instructors be paid on a per credit unit rather than per class hour. The district's principle opposition to giving the rate increase to part-time instructors is the uncertainty of the budget over the next few years. "It is very difficult to predict the state budget. We don't want to jeopardize the district," said District ChancellorRonaldKong.Headded, "Wecan'tmake

Negotiations come to impasse Both the classified and administrative staff in the San Jost-Evergreen Community College District found an early Christmas gift under their tree this year - a bonus from the district. Members of the Faculty Association, on the other hand, will be going home to empty stockings. Classified and administrators recently settled their contract dispute with the district, accepting a onetime bonus and an increase in their health, welfare and vision benefits. The bonus, a one-time lump sum of 2% of their 1990-91 salary, was given with the Nov. 30 payroll. The district also improved the health and

Even though the semester is almost over,Associated Student Body (ASC) Vice-President Jerome Jones has resigned from the ASC citing much frustration with President David Purdue and the council. Jones said he resigned because he could not work with the Administrative Council or the executive council. "I do not like to be part of a losing team ...Purdue does basically whatever he wants," claimed Jones.
Jones hoped his resignation will shock the council, into doing something. According to Jones, the council relinquished their power to the president, failing to understand that they could exercise power independenty. Secretary, Tania Wells submitted her official letter of resignation to the council Dec. 9 to be effective January 27. Advice Jones would like to give to the present and future council is,"to keep yourself honest and true ...you will always know you were good at it," said Jones.

e have come to the end of yet another year and instead of striving to go forward, at best, we've stood still. We have watched our economy tumble, and blamed it on everyone except ourselves. Our troubled economy is not the responsibility of political leaders but that of ourselves. No one forces us to buy foreign-made products, nor does anyone force American companies to make products of lower quality than their foreign competitors. We have sat idle and watched countries kill their own citizens and have done nothing to intervene. Many Americans ask: "Why is it our duty to be the world's police? Why should we intervene?" Why shouldn't we? Why did we let the Chinese government get away with killing students in Tienanmin Square? Why did we let Iraq kill their own with nerve gas? Why can't we ship food and medical
supplies to Sarajevo? Can we survive in a world where human life is valued less than money and political boundaries? We have let others make our decisions for us. Why did we let Pete Wilson and Willie Brown delay a state budget for three months? Did they suffer while state employees and contractors watched their savings, homes and businesses go the way of the dodo as they stood at the bank with handfuls of worthless I.O.U.'s? What will happen next year? But we have no time to worry about these things. We need to spend that weekend in Tahoe skiing instead of planting a tree. To ease our conscious we send a check to the Sierra Club and claim that we've done our best What would happen if during the next year we all did just one thing a week to make the world a better place? A miracle.

HIV infection by heterosexual contact is on the increase according to recent statistics, and the false belief that HIV cannot be spread between men and women may be the reason for this recent upswing.

Editor: In response to Tom Gunter, M.D. (letter, Nov. 25, 1992) Maintaining abortion as a solution to unwanted pregnancy will not resolve any of societies problems. The practice of abortion is a continuation of our society to devalue life. If people would simply take a step back from the abortion issue and look to the real problems of our society, the abortion issue would resolve itself. Dr. Gunter states 95% of teenage girls keep their babies and that mosr women find adoption unbearable. Teenage girls keep their babies
~o that they will have someone to love and they hope that this new person will love them unconditionally. Unfortunately, very often these young families do not have the necessary skills to provide and care for each other. Dr. Gunter says that being a parent is "optional." This "mindset" bas led to parents abandoning children, child abuse and neglect and abortion! Sex is optional! Parenthood is the result of this optional choice. All life is of value, unborn and existing. Make your decision accordingly.

The vicious lie behind the phrase 'Happy holidays' by Ryan Bates Staff Photographer
As the Christmas season comes upon us once again, we once again hear stories of our government banning nativity scenes and Christmas plays from pubic schools, and then wishing us "Happy Holidays!" After all, what is this that we celebrate around December? Are we celebrating a season of perpetual positive feelings where we say, "Happy Holidays," to make every one happy while we stab them in the back with murderous gift prices? ThebasisforChristmasstartedover2,000 years ago in a modest manger with the birth of a baby that changed the course of history. Think about Christmas. A virgin is pregnant. How often does this happen? (Artificial insemination does not count). The virgin marries while pregnant. and delivers the child in a manger. Webster's Dictionary calls a manger a box or trough to hold hay for horses or cattle to eat." So the baby Jesus, the "Great Mes-
siah," had a bed that smelled of horse breath and was laced with cow spit. Some working men in a nearby field actually look into the sky and see a bunch of folks singing. The beings claim to be angels and tell the men not to fear, but to rejoice because," ... a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord." The king of the nation bears about the birth of a new king. He decides to eliminate the competition and sends some men to kill the infant. But when they findhim, they all have a dream telling them not to harm the baby and to keep the location secret Our government tells us that this has no business being in our schools. But that govemmentforgets that our country was founded on the belief in a God that sent his only son to die so that we might live. We need to get back to the basics in life, a heart that is true and love that is blind. This Christmas season, when someone wishes you a "Happy Holidays," remember that famous birth 2,000 years ago, and say, "Merry Christmas!"
Pluralism is not compatible with religion in schools I
by Danny Sarinana Staff Writer
No one should have domain over any individual's personal beliefs, not our parents, not our President, not God, and especially not our schools. So why do these religious factions, who seem to represent a minute part of society, insist on trying to manipulate our problem plagued educational system into allowing prayer in schools? It's a battle that continues on between these contemporary Puritans and the rest of America. The debate on allowing prayer in public schools should be put down for good. Times and people have changed in the United States since the witch hunts of old Salem. We are no longer a nation that is subject to rule via the church of England. Our diverse cultures also comes with diverse beliefs, so, who's to say that one religion is right over the other?
Isn't it bad enough that the childreno( our public schools must recite daily lhe pledge of allegiance that still consists of !hi line that we are a nation under God? We don' tneed to expand thatintoa dail yrouti~ of prayer. If we as rational American citizens aJ. low protestan t anarchists to have their way by incorporating prayer into thedailyagenda of public schools, we will have to acknowl. edge and allow other religious sectors 10 also practice their faiths. Imagine having school children present· ing food offerings to the Buddha God in !hi cafeteria, or classes that would have to be interrupted to allow for Muslims to pray at the appropriate hour. This would go totally against the grain of democracy. So if we want our educational system to remain seperated from church. Let us as American citizens remember to oppose any proposed law allowing prayer of any kind into the educational process. This tragedy can be prevented.
Impasse from page one that kind of commitment." In an attempt to break the deadlock, a three person fact-fmding committee will hear the arguments of both sides, and try to find a reasonable compromise. The committee will be headed by by a person who is jointly chosen by the district and faculty. A list of possible candidates to head the committee will be given to both sides by the state's Public Employee Relations Board. The other two members of the committee will be the chief negotiators of both sides. The outcome of the committee is not binding, and neither side has to abide by the decision. If the negotiations remain at a deadlock past thefact-fmding step, the district may have another problem on there hands. 'The faculty would be so demoralized by the intransigence of the district, management would have a major morale problem," said McBrien. McBrien also said that if a settlement does not occur after the fact-fmding committee, the faculty association would still have "other options." In the latest attempt to strengthen their negotiating power, the faculty association has opted to make a push amongst the instructors at both City College and Evergreen to leave the California Federation of Teacher:s and join the AFL/CIO as a more powerful bargaining tool. Association members of both City College and Evergreen Valley College are currently voting to accept or decline affiliation with the CFr. The push for the afftliation has met opposition. Instructors have been receiving both voice mail messages and notices in mail boxes urging a no vote. The San Jose-Evergreen District has not been the only district with intense negotiations. Recently, classified staff at Ohlone College in Fremont struck a similar deal with the Fremont-Newark C~unity College District by acceptmg a one-time increase of 2% for the 1992-93 school year.

'A Few Good Men' stands above the rest by Sean Peterson Sports Editor
Get in touch with Swing Out Sister by Amelia Lara Campus Editor
Don't be fooled by the upbeat tempo of most of the songs by British duo Swing Out Sister, on "Get in Touch With Yourself," their third album. These tunes get in touch with the not-so-pretty side of romance. In 1986, their frrst album, "It's Better to Travel," debuted at No. 1. At that time, they were nominatedattheGrammy Awards as Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. In songwriting, Drewery lays all her cards on the table, going from being the jilted lover (on songs such as "Am I the Same Girl," ''Who Let the Love Out," and "Circulate,"), to consoling a friend whose relationship bas ended ("Understand"), to confronting berman on "Love Child." On "Am I the Same Girl," the frrst single and probably the best song on the album. Drewery sings, "I'm the one you hurt/ and I'm the one you need ...you're pretenting you don't care/ but the fire is still there...Why don't you stop and look me over?/ Am I the same girV you used to know?"
She asks her man on ''Who Let the Love Out," about his lack of interest in their relationship, ''Who let the love out/ turned it into doubt? ... A stranger's face/ replaced thatsomeonei onceknew/ .. .Wholet temptation in?/ Who let suspicion in? ...Who let the love out of your heart?" Drewery consoles a friend on "Understand." " ... Forever asking why/ hiding behind the tears you cryI... understand, understand/ it's not the frrst time love will pass you by/ understand ... and say goodbye." She confronts her man, telling him she's the one for him, on ''Love Child." " ... Whatever you may think of me/ can'tfigbta love that's meant to be/ don't let intolerance and pride/ fight the love you feel inside/ you'll never be alone with me." Overall, the album contains jazzy bass lines and snappy born and string arrangements, and the recording and production is top-notch. When combined with Drewery's honest, sincere, straightforward lyrics, and utterly magical vocals, the result is an exceptionally sensual and playfully sophisticated sound (although the instrumentals included
