This meeting produced, at most, a list of grievances. The many charges against Perdue included threats, degradation of fellow council members, rumors and a fear to voice any objections or opinions. Overall they felt that the council was not run in a democratic matter. When representatives complained that Perdue wouldn't let them talk, he responded, "I'm not a dictator and I will not run this government as a dictator, but I leader who listens.

Colleges impacted by budget Higher fees, less students and fewer classes may spell disaster for California's Community College system. Fees for the Spring 1993 semester rose 66% over the previous lerm to help compensate for the decrease in state funding. A current Jl"Oposal to the fees to $30 per unit is currently being considered for the fall which will balance the 11.1% decrease in funding for 1993-94. Dr. Martha Kanter doesn't think itis fair to triple the fees, and said the increase will cause, "a problem of epidemic proportions." Community colleges in the south bay area are already feeling the effects of the higher tuition. The San Jose/Evergreen Commu-

KJCC returns to airwaves Feb.16 by Christopher Geer Editor-in-Chief
After a three month absence, San Jos~ City College's radio station, KJCC, hopes to return to the
airwaves on Tuesday, Feb. 16. In the interim, students will be able to enjoy a radio show from the new Union Station which can be beard only in the College Union beginning Tuesday, Feb. 9. The show will feature alive disc jockey and a middle of the road type forlllal.
The Union Station will be the Broadcasting department's only tangible production until KJ CC can
return to the airwaves on 104.1 FM. Before the station can return, it must be certified by an outside engineer to assure that the station is broadcasting within the legal limits. "I would really like the matter to be closed," says Raymond Collins, Broadcasting instructor, "the transmitter bas been corrected and it's time to go on." To get KJCC back on the air, the school bas purchased a new transmitter which can not broadcast above the legal limit of half a watt The new transmitter, which cost around $200, is not on line yet The new transmitter is weak
and KJCC may need to install multiple boosters so that it can be heard around campus. In order to avoid any more tangles with the Federal Communications Commission, audio-visual technician Jim Campbell is consulting an engineer to make certain the boosters are legal within FCC guidelines. The problems for KJCC started last semester when there was a surprise visit from an agent of the FCC in Hayward to investigate allegations made by K.K.SF, a commercial station in San Francisco,
The meeting produced a list of grievances, threats, degradation of fellow council members, rumors and a fear to voice any objections or opinions.
Although this weeks meeting was supposed to be a problemsolving discussion, Perdue was repeatedly defending himself against the numerous accusations thrown at him by fellow council members.
When former Commissioner of Activities, Tiffany Bliss admitted that she felt threatened of losing her job, Perdue responded, "I do not believe in firing anyone, the 'threats' were a misunderstanding." Ron Thomas, former Commissioner of Publicity stated, "I don't think we ever got anything important accomplished during the meetings, that's where we need a strong leader." After the questionSee KJCC, page 4 ing of Perdue's leadership ability was discussed ~e and again, Per-
Southward, Dean of Student Services. He recommended that Perdue and the Council, each appoint two representatives to sit down and work out a process to resolve the situation. The process worked out by these representatives will then be used to determine if the actions taken to remove Perdue were legal and therefore valid, deciding his future as President of the ASC. Southward later added, "If there's one thing that David (Perdue) needs to do, it's bring these people back together."

Fee hikes will kill system back! You've enrolled in W elcome Pete Wilson's own little version of Utopia... struggling students paying university level fees for community college. But wait, there's more! We received a 33% increase in student health fees, which everyone is forced to pay whether you use the service or not; and for those of you enrolled in C.I.S. courses, the privilege of forking out a few extra bucks in lab fees. It was not always this way, though. Once upon a time a full-time student could register for the affordable cost of $67.50; This admittedtly, did not cover the actual cost, but made the possibility of higher education a reality for everyone. Which is after all, the goal of community colleges.
While the extra bucks provide a quick flx for California's budget woes, fee increases are going to hurt the state and our economy in the long run. There has already been a significant decline in enrollment at several community colleges in our area. How many more students will have to leave the system if the fees are raised to the proposed $30 per unit? The result would be more people looking for fewer jobs, without the skills to qualify for them. The answer is to keep fees down so that anyone who wants, or needs, to go to school can, which will create an employable work-force for the future. The solution isn't easy, but a quick flx won't work. Our legislators need to look at the long-term consequences of fee hike after fee hike and start worrying about the damage they have already done.

As if the police don't have enough to do, the esteemed California legislature has produced yet another busy-work law to keep officers from doing their job. The new seat belt law, which went into effect on the new year, allows police to cite drivers and passengers who are not wearing their safety-belts, even if no other violation has occurred. On a worldly scale, this new law has no real implications but what does it mean? Why does state have to tell us to put on our seatbelts? Are we, the proletariat, so ignorant that we can not make a decision whether it is safer to ride strapped into a moving vehicle or free of restraint so that we can gracefully fly through the windshield at the moment of impact? Why does this law even have to be in existence? Do we, the unmindful, hurt others or cause

Actions not made in haste Editor: Last week, on the January 27, the SJCC Associated Student Council voted to declare the position of ASB president vacant pending a hearing on the ability of our president, David Perdue, to lead this ASB in a dignified, responsible manner. This was a move that was discussed, debated and considered at length before it was presented and passed. We did not take this move lightly. We felt, thatafterfourand one half months, it was time for David to display the leadership we entrusted to him. During thelast4and 1/2months, many of us have worked closely with him, and have had the ability to assess his skills. Many of us are disappointed. We have asked, implored and in some cases begged him to listen to students and to act on their behalf. In some cases, he did. In many cases, however, he refused to take advice or recommendations.
L etters • P0 11CY
Most of the dedicated memben of the ASC have either left or curtailed their activities to the pointor paralyzing the ASC. The issue is not whether David is a nice guy (he is) or whether he is sincere (he is), or whether he is popular (be is1 but whetherheisaleader(heisn't). This was not a "subversive," "arrogant" or "malicious" plot as he has described it. We will insure that Mr. Perdue is given ample opportunity to face his accusen and to be judged on his record We hope that this can be handled in a dignified, responsible and constructive manner. We feel that the San Jose City College Associated Students de· serve quality leadership and thai we can resolve the paralysis thai confronts us. Olaf~

The agent found KJCC to be broadcasting at 11.5 watts of power, over 100 times the legal limit KJCC, voluntarily, went off the air after the violation was made known and continued to air their shows on a closed circuit in the College Union. The FCC fmed KJCC $2,000 for "willfully" violating FCC re.gulations by broadcasting, Without a license, on 104.1 FM.
The San Jose/Evergreen Commtmity College District decided not to fight the fme imposed by the FCC and paid the $2,000. The school had originally sought to fight lbe fine and had an outside engineer investigate the cause of the violation. The engineer determined that an attenuator, which acts as a type of resistor, burned out after someone tampered with the transmitter and allowed the signal to go out at the higher wattage.

Hotlines provides new 41 1 by Chris Haskett Staff Writer
San Jose City College has installed a confidential Answer Hotline which provides information on drug abuse, A.I.D.S ., stress, weight management, and mental health. The Hotline opened on Jan. 20, which is accessible through any touch-tone phone allowing anonymous callers to select pre-recorded messages by entering a three-digitcode. The line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
This service is produced by the Institute for Drug and Alcohol Prevention in San Marcos, and is a result of lbe efforts of Charles Southward, Associate Dean of Student Services. It's purpose is to keep City College students informed about potentially destructive behavior which they may not wish to discuss to anyone. By Feb. 2, 309 calls had been made to the Hotline's "black box", hidden somewhere on campus. However, the machine isn't working on par with a similar machine at De Anza College, so the
Institute has sent a replacement to be installed. Pe ggy Harrington, a SJCC Counselor, was optimistic about the potential of this new system. " I would like some feedbad I from students, confidentially, to 1 see if the information was helpful, or if they wan-t more info about a certain subject," said Harrington. The taped messages are updated I as the Institute receives new infa · mation sending it to subscribers. The entire project is funded by a Grant from the Institute and Sill 1 Jose City College..
