Applying for aid made easier by Karen Smith Staff Writer
Due to the grim economy, an increasing number of students attending San Jose City College are applyingforfmancial aideacb year. During the 1991-92 academic year, 1,600 received aid out of 2,050 applicants, and thus far in the 1992-93 academic year (which will end in June), 2,400 applied, with 1,400 recipients. Kathy Degn, interim financial aid officer, forecasts that there will be a sharper increase of students applying for aid next semester, due mainly to the increased registration
fee.
II-
To be eligible for financial aid, students must have an educational plan, such as the acquisition of a degree or program certificate. A full time student has six semesters or72 units, wbicbevercomesfirst, to complete a two-year program. Students must also maintain atleast a 2.0 cumulative grade-point-average, and must complete at least half of the courses for which they received aid each semester. These requirements are part of City College's definition of "satisfactory progress," and there is an entire pink sheet that explains it in more detail and is available by uest at the Financial Aid Office
(Room 500, near the Ubrary). A student's individual financial need is determined by a "need analysis service." When you fill out an application and give it to the Financial Aid Office, they make sure it is complete and verifiable, and then send it to the College Scholarship Service, where the fmancial need is determined by weighing the total expenses against what the student and/or his family is expected to contribute. The difference is called fmancial need.

The remaining members of the Associated Student Council have taken the first step towards resolving the contreversy surrounding the presidencyofDavid Perdue. The intial meeting of the Impartial Committee was Tuesday, Feb. 16. This committee was deemed necessary after the council could not reach a compromise after Perdue's office was declared vacant. The goal of the committee is to appoint an unbiased committee consisting of one member each from the faculty, administrative and classified staffs and five students to decide whether the action to remove Perdue from office was legal. The committee failed to accomplish this on Tuesday and decided to adjourn until the next day and meet again after the conclusion of the regularly scheduled ASC meeting. The unbiased personnel who are to be appointed will make up the Hearing Committee. They will be
the ones to fmally decide Perdue's future in the ASC by determining the legality of the motion brought foward by Olaf Kropp, the Communications and Forensics Association Represenative, which declared the office of president vacant. The Impartial Committee consists of Chuck Southward, Renee Smith, David Perdue, Priscilla Santos, David McKage and Olaf Kropp. The outcome of the frrst meeting was hampered by bickering and personal attacks aimed at fellow members of the committee. By the second meeting, the committee had resolved to form the the Hearing Committee and bow it would be comprised. "It bas to be a neutral person on the committee," responded Chuck Southward, Associate Dean of Students. The Impartial committee concluded with an agreement to meet again to further outline the guidelines of the future Hearing Committee. If the Hearing Committee de-
Perdue had a difficult time accepting that he -would not be part of the committee cides the motion was legal, Perdue will no longer prevail as president. If the action is declared illegal, Perdue will ride out the remainder of his presidency until the end of the Spring term. Perdue had a difficult time accepting the fact that be would not be a part of the Hearing Committee. "I am concerned about people with knowledge ... "stated Perdue. The ASC troubles began last semester when Vice-President Jerome Jones resigned from office citing frutration with Perdue and the claim that be could not work with the Administration or Executive councils.

ASC needs real leadership· Tf the students at San Jose City College ..l.think that the Associated Student Council is serving them, they are sadly mistaken. We are now five weeks into the spring semester, and what has the council accomplished so far? With the exception of its complaining and bickering, nothing. The ASC seems to be more concerned with its own personal agendas. The remaining council members and club representatives spend their time figuring out ways to kick the President, David Perdue out of office. Perdue is concentrating on saving his job, while the student body can do nothing but wait out this little game until the end of the semester. The majority of complaints stacked up against Perdue is ridiculous. Some say they' re afraid to voice their opinions to the President. Well, these people should make themselves be heard and stop their petty whining. Politics is a tough profession. If council members are so easily intimidated
getting things done. This is a bit hypocritical considering the first two ASC meetings pertained to nothing but accusations explained to the point of redundancy, followed by equally long speeches by Perdue defending himself with typical political semantics, sounding meaningful, but meaning nothing. At the ASC meeting on Feb. 3, which lasted almost seven hours, there were about three long-winded yet valid complaints, while the rest were just as lengthy, but extremely trivial. It's obvious that the council is determined to see Perdue's resignation. Perdue has resolved to fight for his position, and unless all parties involved get their acts together, we the students will remain ignored. It's time the ASC gets their priorities straight and realizes that the student body is its main concern, not the latest student council gossip.

'Telecommunications is the wave of the future. (It is) new technology creating new jobs.' by Eva Prince Staff Writer
San Jose City College now provides the classes to obtain an Associate of Science degree with telecommunications as a major. The new program is offered through the Electronics Department and was begun by its instructor, Warren Hioki. Telecommunications involves ways in which computers impart information from one location to another over a long distance. Generally, this is accomplished through the use of telephone systems, microwave links, fiber optics, and cables. Devices that handle this information include computers, FAX machines, modems, cellular phones, laser printers, and plotters. The major covers subjects such as computer video display terminals, modems, Local Area Networks (LAN) systems, telephones, satellites, and fiber optics. Approximately 20% of the telecommunications students already have a bachelor of science degree, mainly in computer science or engineering. The program attracts B.S. students because of the practical ap-
gree include Pacific-Bell, HewlettPackard Company, International Business Machines Corporation, Northern Telecom Incorporated, and many others. These companies have given advice on course content to allow the program to be on the cutting edge of what is required in the job market Some of these companies have also donated equipment that is used in the program. For more information on the telecommunications program, contact the Electronics Department. Thedepartmentislocatedin the 100 building, directly across from campus police.

'The Temp' won't last in theaters by Christopher Geer Editor-in-Chief
There are only a few movies ever made that can leave the viewer asking themselves the question, "Hub"? Paramount's latest release, ''The Temp" opened Friday, Feb. 12 is one of these films. The film stars Academy Award winner, Timothy Hutton and Lara Aynn Boyle are pitted against one another as Peter Derns,the psyhcoparanoidjuniorexecutive, andKris Bolin, his over ambitious temporary secretary. The trouble begins for Derns when his regular secretary takes advantage of the family leave bill and splits for two weeks to witness the birth of his first child. Peter is stuck with no secretary and a long report due on his supervisor's desk •at noon the next day. Peter believes all is lost and is ready to throw in the towel, when in walks his savior in a tight skirt, temporary secretary Kris Bolin. She
~-}~ Movies ~~ tells him not to panic and to let his new helper help him and the two of them get the report in just under the wire.
From here the plot begins to thicken, as a course of events lead Peter to believe that his former temp is using rather ruthless methods to climb her way up the corporate ladder. The movie lost its audience at this point, because it never fully developed the motives or opportunities for either of the two suspects. In fact, I dido 't even realize Charlene Towne (Faye Dunaway) was a suspect until the climax of the fJlm. There are points in theftlm when even the most dedicated audience will have to ask themselves, "What happened? How did theY.gethere ?" especially towards the end of the film.
Even the most dedicated audience will have to ask themselves, 'What happened"? The movie does have its merits though. "The Temp" is rated 'R' by the movie association, but doesn't try to use incredible gore or fleshy sex scenes to win its audience. There is one scene in particular which will make everyone squirm in their seats and make you doublecheck the power supply on your paper shredder before you clear it, without stooping to the level of the "Friday the 13th" series. ''The Temp" is a short film with a confusing ending, which will undoubtedly fail at the box office. Save your money and wait four weeks for it to come out on video.
