Meinhold addresses military's harassment of homosexuals -

by Julie Galvan Managing Editor

Navy petty officer Keith Meinhold shared his military experinces. Jay Cantu/ The Times

Navy petty officer Keith Meinhold told a crowd of 150 people at San Jose City College that the military is kicking people out not because of what they do, but because of what they are. People keep telling me that gays and lesbians just don't belong in the military. We're already there. There are gay and lesbian admirals and generals and airmen. We just want to go about doing our jobs," Meinhold said. Meinhold's visit to City College on May 11 was sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Faculty and Staff Association of the San Jose/Evergreen Valley College District "It's great for the students to have well-known and controversial speakers talk to them about the issues of today," said Kenneth Yeager, Ph. D ., a board trustee and member of the association.

Faculty Association, district reach contract agreement by Christopher Geer Editor-in-Chief

After two years of contract negotiations, the Faculty Association has reached an agreement with the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District for the 1991-92 and 1992-93 school years. The agreement, which bas yet to be ratified by the members of the FA, gives the faculty a 2%, one time payment off the salary schedule for the the current school year. The FA failed to receive the 2% permanent salary increase it bad sought when this began. Faculty Association President Fran McBrien said that this was" ... the best contract that could benegotiated under the cicumstances." The gains for the FA according to McBrien include new guidelines for what the district must do before starting Reduction in Force proceedings for faculty, and the option for those faculty members employed before March, 1986 to select Medicare as their health insurance carrier. The FA will bold question and answer sessions for faculty members at San Jose City College on Wednesday, May 10 from 1 until 2:30 p.m. in room GE 101 and Tuesday, May 25 from 1 p.m. to

2:30 p.m. in room U 200. The meetings will be on the Evergreen Campus from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 20 in AF-141 and Mon., May 24 in the Gallery. Ballots for the ratifacation of the faculty ' s contract must be

'(This is) the best contract that could be negotiated under the circumstances.' Fran McBrien FA President turned in no later than 3 p.m. on May 25. The ballot boxes are located in front of the library at City College and in the reprographics office on the Evergreen campus. With the contract out of the way, the FA can now focus on its internal problems which have plaugued it since last semester. On Friday, May 15, the executive board of the FA counted and conftrmed the 213 signatures on a

I think it's great to have him on campus," said Student Trustee Doug Cortney. "We're here for more than just getting an education. He's giving students a wide perspective of what's happening off campus." Meinhold joined the Navy in 1980 and was discharged on August 12, 1992, after announcing his homosexuality on television. A federal judge ordered the Navy to reinstate him. I've been back for six months now ... with little or no interference from my co-workers," said Meinhold. "It has renewed my faith in the American people, my faith in the American system of justice and my faith in the American Constitution." While in the Navy, Meinhold graduated at the topofhisclassand was made an instructor. "As a leader in the military, I had to set the example. There are people who will deny you your civil rights if you let them ... gays and lesbians let them by staying in the closet," Meinhold said. The military's discrimination against gays began during World War II and became policy in the late 50s. In 1982, gays and lesbians were declared "incompatible to the service," as military leaders believe the troops couldn't do their jobs effectively in the presence of openly gay and lesbian people.

'They act like we take showers all day long. A military shower lasts about two minutes. I've never attacked anybody, I've never stared at anybody; I think a lot of people flatter themselves." Meinhold pointed out that admitting gays and lesbians in the military would be beneficial. "Career pressure would be removed and the highest quality of people would be made available," Meinhold said. "There might be an initial increase in gay bashing, but I think gays and lesbians are willing to take these chances if that's the price of freedom ." Meinhold said that college students can help by speaking out in their classes and to their friends and relatives. After Meinhold's speacb, Edgar San Diego, a computer science major, said, "I feel proud of who I am and more excited about being a homosexual ... it feels good to know that there is someone trying to change the system." "This has been very educational," said Dorothy Musima, a child development major. "There are a lot of issues students don't like todiscussordon't understand." "Gay and Lesbians will consider this the gay 90s," said Meinhold. "We will prove to you as get to know us that we are true American citizens, just like everyone else."

Bosnia: Vietnam part II by Christopher Geer and Chris Haskett

Editorial·

Keep the College Union clean emember all of the hype and fanfare concerning the newly remodeled College Union last semester? Everyone made a concentrated effort to clean up after themselves and to keep it sparkling clean. Not one school year has passed, yet the College Union is already looking like a complete pig pen again. Most students leave their trash on the tables downstairs, refusing to clean up after themselves. Students are constantly disregarding the "No Food or Drink Upstairs" signs, and just leave their food there for the custodians to pick up after them. There are soda stains over many areas of the carpet. The furniture has been

R

recklessly moved about and inconveniently blocks the path of students trying to pass by. Many of the walls are stained with dirt. The problem is that now that the thrill is gone, no one cares anymore about the cleanliness of the College Union. If we slowly destroy what we have now, what will be left for incoming San Jose City College students? If those who use the College Union don't do something now to clean up their acts, the College Union might end up being nothing more than a garbage dump. The main responsibility of keeping the College Union clean lies in the hands of City College students, who are supposed to be mature adults. After all, our mothers aren't here to pick up after us.

President Bill Clinton's military proposal to stop the massive blood-letting in the former Yugoslav republic mirrors the beginning of the very conflict Clinton protested against-Vietnam. President Lyndon B. Johnson (1962-1968) fostered Americans' willingness to increase the military involvementthatJohnF. Kennedy had started with anti-Communist propaganda designed to strengthen the paranoia that had resulted from the Cuban Missile Crisis. Johnson then used U1e fictitious Gulf of Tonkin incident to create an emotional fervor that would cause Americans to demand U1e destruction of a country little known about. Johnson then began a gradual military escalation. Congress lay in wait, unable to predict public opinion well enough to act. During U1is period of political limbo, the military found itself unable to back down wiU1out justifying Ule deaths of its fallen soldiers, causing more soldiers to be killed. Johnson expected war wiUl backward Vietnam to be glorifying and short. He was dead wrong. The same self-confidence Ulat initiated Ule war wouldn't allow it to end. Johnson's refusal to be Ule first U .S. president to lose a war prolonged the greatest fiasco in our history long enough for Rich-

ard Nixon to fall into Ule same trap. Just as Johnson U10ught it was Ule U.S.'s responsibility to eradicate communism, President Clinton is being forced to make a similar decision. Those who elected Clinton are clamoring for him to use military force to end the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Images of savage killing and merciless suffering that permeate television news are tormenting Americans. A military strike is perceived as the remedy. It is apparent by U1e numerous failed cease-fire agreements and U1e unwillingness to compromise of diploma ts, U1at U1e marinated hateofformerYugoslavia will not digest soon. But hum ani tarians, aroused with unbridled emotion instead of making practical observations, will ignore U1e chaotic history of this country in favor of an infeasible goal (to stop t11e fighting), wiU1 an impossible outcome. If U1e soldiers lost in Vietnam are not to have died in vain , Americans must realize Ulat the U . S. cann ot maintai n justice Ulroughout t11e globe. The public's understanding of U1e Vietnam war must act as a dividing line between necessary military action and a self-serving politician's quest for immortality on Ule page of a high school history text book, written in the blood of forgotten victi ms.

Pub would improve City College Where's Wilson's jackpot? W hat is missing from the college experience here at San _JoseCity college? First of all, let's ignore the fact that we are all treated like high school students and if we don't attend class everyday or god forbid, we're tardy, we can expect a 10-minute tongue lashing from the instructor. We need to ptit these experiences behind us and work together to make City College a better place to cultivate our growing minds; what we need is a pub. A pub would bring together the student body of City College and provide a place for students to interact on a social level. The current forum for mental exchange is the College Union, which resemb~es an army mess hall; 200 strangers feeding their faces and all of them paranoid of someone seeing them with their last bite of a mouthful of goulash dripping off their chin.

But people in the pub would be there by choice and not by the need for food. This would make them more receptive to social interaction with other students and faculty. Patrons of the pub would also feel a sense of community at the school. Rather than being just a warm body occupying a seat so the school can collect state revenues, students could have their own place to unwind between or after academic sessions. A campus pub would create an air of hospitality that is present at most four-year colleges. The cost of the pub would be quickly paid for in profits and endorsements from brewing companies, unlike the school's most recent blunders in theCollege Union and bookstore. The new pub would legitimize the professed maturity of City College and would save journalism students the time and hassle of cruising down to Round Table for a cheap buzz on production nights.

Governor Wilson Ulought he truly hit the jackpot when he coerced Ule state to hike Ule fees for the community colleges. "It'll raise money," he said. "Hardly anyone of any real importance will drop out." He expected to make at least $40 million, and part of Ule expected revenue was to go to fmancial aid. What he hadn't counted on, though, were Ulose unfortunate students who would slip Uuough Ule cracks. When Wilson made Ulis politically fatal mistake, he delivered his greatest blow to Ulose wiU1 bachelor's degrees. Wilson and Ule state saw nothing wrong wiUl relieving Uleir financial woes . Their line of Ulinking was Ulat if a student had earned a bachelor's degree, he or she would automatically have found ahigh-payingjob

Clinton taps unknown· Hollywood resources by Chris Haskett Assistant-to-the -editor Which is it? Barbara Streisand' s imitation of a jewish boy in "Yentl" that makes her an expert on the need for gays in the military, or her portrayal of an unfulfilled woman who is jaded with life, in "Funny Girl" that blesses her with a unique understanding of the holocaust in Bosnia. Well, somebody in the White House thinks she has a nose for such weighty political issues because a few weeks ago Miss Streisand was kind enough to give General Colin Powell her seasoned opinion on these very topics. A politician is born. Believe it or not, Streisand is not the only brilliant mind which has been stifled during the terrible reign of level-beaded republicans. An astute brain trust including Billy Crystal, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter and Lindsay Wagner received environmental briefings from Interior Secretary Bruce Babbit and the rest of Clinton's tree-hugging, dirt-munching clan. The man who should be thanked (and then flogged) for tapping Hollywood's previously wasted resource is our man of changePresident William "Rodharn" Clinton. Clinton said he would keep in touch with the common folks and listen to their input. Since almost all Americans spend hours expanding their minds watching television, I can see Clinton's logic in turning to the acting community. Americans live vicariously through a small population of celebrities, so that must

be where their unspoken delegation lies. This is rather fortuitous in light of White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myer's comment about the president's reaction to stars such as Paul Newman, who has been milling around Clinton's temporary home: " ... he still gets genuinely blown away by spending time with some of these people." God knows Clinton can't take advice from someone he doesn't respect. Powell doesn't have any Oscars, therefore he can't understand the pressure of being under the constant scrutiny actors in Hollywood experience. Sure Powell is one of the military geniuses who orchestrated Desert Storm, but he didn't have any lines to memorize. And Clinton is not afraid to break precedent as proven by his empowerment of the Hollywood elite. Most presidents would have fled like ignited rats from any association with Jane Fonda and the depraved town that supports her after she bastardized our soldiers' efforts in Vietnam by sleeping with the Communist North. But not Clinton. Willie understands the intellectual excellence and Christian morals t11at permeates Hollywood circles now, and the incredible boon it would be for this country to have the wisdom and insight of actors and actresses who are grossly overpaid to make absurd fantasies come true for the gullible masses. After all, this is the technique the Clinton administration needs

ASC officers promise change by Julie Galvan Managing Editor

More than 500 students participated in the Associated Student Council elections held on May I 0, 11 and 12. The new officers are: David McKague, president (366 votes); Kym St. Clair, vice-president (358 votes); Shannon Edwards, direc-

tor of administration (384 votes); Barbara Betz, director of finance (284 votes); and Derrick Morris, student trustee (379 votes). The ASC officers were inaugurated at the Black and White Ball on May 15. They will take office July 1 and will serve for the duration of the fall 1993- spring '94 semesters. Members of the council hope

to bring the light rail to Bascom A venue, lower bus fare to 50 cents and install an ATM machine near the bookstore. The council also hopes to implement a student textbook loan program, create an interclub council (I. C. C .), organize a student senate and sponsor more campust activities to promote social interaction among students.

The structure of San Jose City College's staff functions will be modified over tlle next eight months in an effort to improve the organization of the student services administration. The reorganization plan was created by an Organizational Review Committee consisting of faculty members from all areas of the collegeandchairedby Dr. Suzanne Gutierrez of the counseling department. The plan was approved on April 27 by the Board of Trustees, and includes the addition of a Vice President of Student Services, the deletion of t11e Associate Deans of Developmental Studies and Student Services, and some changes in titles and/or duties. Overall, t11ere is no change in management costs or in tlle number of management positions. Positions yet to be filled include tlle new Vice President of Student Services, expected to be assigned in Jan. 1994 or thereafter, and the Director of Administration and Fiscal Operations, which is a new title for Dean of Administration. The current dean of administration, Richard Casey, will be retiring tllis semester. There will be an Associate Director of Administration and Fiscal Operations, and this will be

held by Gregory Ohanneson, formerly titled Associate Dean of Occupational Education/Apprenticeship. The Organizational Review Committee was formed as a result of an accreditation self-study prepared by the college staff in 1990, and may also have been prompted by the recommendations of a visiting accreditation team in 1986. Both studies found that the student services administration was lacking in efficiency and cohesiveness. It was also noted that the counselors had insufficient time in their schedules to devote to counseling students. Del Anderson, presidentofCity College, hopes that after the appointment of a Vice President of Student Services takes place there will be some reorganization of duties so thatthere will be a core of counselors who do only counseling. Anderson believes that the new structure will be more efficient Under the new system, the student services administration will have its own CEO to report to, whereas in the old system the student services branch was rat11er haphazardly placed under Instruction. Overall, the president was pleased wit11 U1e way U1e reorganization planning worked out. She stated t11at there was participation and compromise from all sides, wit110ut a great deal of bickering and difficulties.

"It all began with a paper airplane," I remembered. Journalism was not my first career choice. The path I took to get where I am now is a long and twisted one but it began with a single piece of folded paper. According to a test I took in high school the optimum profession for me was TV repair, but when I was 15 years old I had other plans; I wanted to be a drummer. I don' t know why, but I began to remember my aspirations about I 1 p.m. of the last production night on the newspaper.

And this was one of those moments. I was leaning out a 14th story window of the Omni Park Central in the middle of Manhattan with only a 14 year old weakling on my ankles for ballast. I strained my neck to read the clock inside the room;1: 33 a.m. I really needed to get some sleep because at 4 a.m., myself and the other 100 plus unwashed urchins of the Oak Grove High School Marching Band had to be somewhere else in this god-forsaken city to form up for the ann ual Macy' s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was toodeeply involved in atavistic enjoyment to come in though. All of us had j ust survived a six hour plane flight and a five hour bus trip to get here and I was not about to bait a cheap adrenalin rush for mybody' s need for sleep.

lovely pastel summer dress, trying to grill answers out of us with heatlamps filled my mind as they sat us down in the back office. In reality the adults were trying to get three of us to blame it all on one person, I guess to ease the paper-work. Fortunately the scapegoat wasn't me or I would probably still be paying conjugal visits to a 400-pound man named Buffy on Riker's Island. None of us squealed though and I figured out that someone had convinced the hotel manager not to press charges when he began to describe a car we had hit with a coke can and said, "don't worry, they left." Upon returning tomyroom that night the band director stoppe~ me and dished out the !:tandarcl "That was stupid" speech, but he concluded it with, "for someone who the band has to carry tx.cause you have no musical talent, you sure do cause a lot of trouble." And so ended my dream of becoming the next Myron Grombacher.

I jumped to the window and leaned out to look for damage to anything or anyone below. By now you are probably wondering why I am writing this piece. Partially to try and let those people who are discouraged in life know that they are not alone in the world. Everyone is good at something, you just need to find out what it is. Try not to involve the police in this learning process though. The main reasons are pretty selfish; I always wanted to try writing like this and I wanted to sneak the hockey photo into the paper. I know it bas nothing to do with the story but what the hell. It's May and this is my last chance to put something I want in the paper. It has been a pleasure to be a member of the Times for the last two years and I will remember my time at San Jost City College fond!y. I would like to~ all the members of the staff fQc the laSf two Semesters and most of all, I would like to thank our adviser, Art Carey.

'Posse' breaks Hollywood stereotypes by Sean Peterson Sports Editor

Director and actor Mario Van Peebles breaks the Hollywood stereotype in his newest creation "Posse.'' Undoubtedly, the stereotype of the Old West being exclusively settled by whites, has been set forth and even glorified by Hollywood for many years. After a briefopening sequences on the island of Cuba, the fllm is set in America's late 1800's. The movie is the journey of five black, and one white, cowboys traveling across America to Freeman ville; a township developed by freed black slaves. The movie begins to exploit Hollywood'sformulaforageneric western film, with the exception of the majority of the protagonists are people of color. The central character Jesse Lee is played by Van Peebles, a cool tempered gun-slinger clad in black. by a vengeful adversary. His mission is to complete his father's dream of establishing an Some members of Lee's outlaw band include: Stephen all black township and to avenge his death.

In the great Hollywood tradition there is a host of cameos in this movie adventure, such as L.A. Law star Blair Underwood, Pam Grier and Woody Strode. The movie is meritable partly because Van Peebles tries to depict that the West was not settled only by white people, but established by men and women of all races,

colors and creeds. The son ofMelvin Van Peebles, Mario is one of the few second generation black film-makers today. Even with the recent success of the African-American film industry, Van Peebles believes the pressure of the powers-that-be in Hollywood, urged him to tum his blackwesternintoa, 'Unfo'given' or 'Boyz N the Saddle,' or another rehash of the 1991 summer smash hit, 'New Jack City,' which he also starred and directed.

According to Van Peebles, , "Hollywood wanted to ghettoize , me." But Van Peebles stuck to his guns and found an unlikely backer in England's Working Title Films. The white cowboy bas come to symbolize the hero of the American frontier. History has forgotten that one third of the cowboys were black. 1 Nearly one million black explores, adventures, missionaries, trappers, homesteaders and cow- 1 boys crossed the Mississippi River between 1870 and 1900. Van Peebles manages to take a brief glimpse at the contribution of the unsung cowboys and homesteaders in the West, but the movie seems to tum into a 'shoot 'emup,' 'hell-and-gone' affair rather than a film about brotherhood and harmony in the old west The quality of this film is shown by how well Van Peebles is able to mix humor and the action together in 'Posse.' But what really impressed me the most was the way Van Peebles maintained his integri ty by refusingto not bow down to the coercive nature of other Hollywood. . b Although, 'Posse' will prob- c: ably not be a tremendous success .:: in movie theaters, it is a colossal step towards an independent and'tt free-thinking Hollywood film. tl [(

Free Your Mind with musicians 'Lost Tribe' by Chris Haskett Assistant to the Editor

While the five members of the fusion band "Lost Tribe" are educated musicians with broad backgrounds, their self-titled debut effort is a quest for airplay rather than new musical ground. For an educated opinion of this disk I interviewed Dwight Cannon, professor of improvised music at San Jose StateUniversity. This review isthe result of his expert insights and comparisons. The opening track, ''Mythology," is driven by a relentless pounding drum beat (something all 11 tracks have in common, which becomes tiring). On top of this is layered some extraordinary bass work in support of fragme nted saxophone in the style of Omette Coleman. However, as Cannon pointed out, the use of a tribal background and the injection of traffic sounds misses the point when not included as partofthe improvisation; hence it becomes merely a novelty trick. "Dick Tracy," the second cut, is reminiscent of Miles Davis' "Bitches Drew" without one im-

portant ingredient - spontaneity. Because of the songs strict construction, it sounds intentional. "What they do is good in that sense," explained Cannon about "Lost Tribe's" arrangement, "But it lacks that jazz sense of the musicians talking to each other." Track six, "Rhinoceros" is the most improvisational track on the disc in the sense that the hom and guitarplayersdo talk to each other while the bass and drums anchor the tune in commercialism. "LostTribe's"label, Windham Hill, traditionally produces slick, commercial products, but its reference to this recording as jazz does a disservice to the genere. Without each musician continually reacting to the performance as it happens, it ceases to be jazz. And to call "Lost Tribe's" frrst album "jazz" is a misnomer which creates misunderstandings. An example is the misconception that saxophonist Kenny G's music is jazz. While Cannon did not particularly praise this album and would

not buy it, be thought it was good for commercial music and added that given the creative freedom these musicians could produce some excellent music. He did suggestbe would play it for his class as an example of the commercial fusion which is so prevalent today. For an accurate representation of contemporary jazz, Cannon suggested exploring artists such as Peter Apfelbaum and the Hieroglyphics Ensemble The problem with polished music is its inability to grow, which limits the listener's potential for new musical discoveries. "Lost Tribe's" recording is the result of musicians creating a product. While this is not jazz, it is perhaps an important stepping stone for a listener who would like to explore the genre of music this album derives its "feel" from. Bands like "King Crimson",one of ''Lost Tribe's influences, better repesent the avant-guard rock-fusion style and would appeal to a wider audience. But for someone who wants to bridge the gap between radio-oriented rock and serious jazz, "Lo t Tribe" is an excellent beginning.

Steve McCann was only seventeen years old when, in 1974, he was a victim of a robbery while working at a convience store. McCann was beaten up and knifed by the three assailants. Shortly after this incident, McCann decided to enroll into a self-defense class, at DeAnza College. There he started learning Shotokan, a form of Japanese karate rich in tradition. Shotokan was founded in 1922 by a man named Funa Koshi. it came from Okinawa to Japan, Hawaii and finally to the United States where it has become one of the most popular forms in the Martial-Arts. Always reaching for new horizons, McCann, has been training in a variety of other martial-art forms including: Aikido and Kenpo. He is currently training privately in the Jujitsu style. McCann is a fourth-degree black belt and has been teaching a

self-defense class at San Jose City College for four years. McCann says that teaching isn't easy, but seeing the results of his efforts continually motivates him. "I try to instill my love and the benefits (long-term growth) of karate to the students," com men ted McCann. What really makes any martial-arts system worthwhile is the instructor's capacity to bring out the maximum potential in each of his students. "To help someone better themselves ... that is the joy of teaching," added McCann. He believes it is a wonderful feeling to see students who couldn't perform basic kicks without stumbling get to the point where they can execute techniques with blinding speed. A man 's life is built not on the years he has lived, but on the accomplishments he has achieved. Some years ago he was employed as an accountant, but left the country to work as a ship captain in the Carribean. After returning home, McCann

Golf team finishes year in third place ,_ by Eva Prince ;s _ _Writer _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Staff

il The San Jose City College golf nd team ended its season by placing third in the Coast Conference. The team finished with an overall record of 9-5 and an 8-4 league record. "We were one stroke out of second place - one out of thousands of strokes played during the season. Each one of our players counted ten strokes we threw away," coach Harley Dow said of his loss to second place winner Canada College. No one from City College qualified to participate at the NorCal competition. "It's the first

time in a long time we didn ' t have someone representing us in the state," remarked Dow. Although, three City College golfers placed within the top 12 of the conference. Chris Henry averaging 76 for 22 rounds, Avery Cook 78 and Adam Midulla 79. Henry, who has the top average of the team, will be back. "He is a good shot maker, hits a lot of greens, and has a good all around game," said Dow. According to Dow, the number three man, Midulla, "is a scrapper, he' 11 never give up, he'll fight you." Dow believes Midulla' s game will get better. He's only been playing golf for three years.

Softball season comes to an unexpected close Times staff report The San Jose City College women's softball team finish third in the Golden Gate Conference after a 6-1loss to cross-town rival West Valley College. It was a shocking loss when the Jaguars were forced to forfeit the game, in the sixth inning, after two City College players were ejected from the game for fighting at the plate. Then later that week was politically eliminated from advancing to the first round of the playoffs at Shaughnessy. During a closed· meeting at American River College in Sacramento, a panel of coaches determined through a voting process that City College just didn't have enough in their favor to be choosen for Shaughnessy. San Joaquin Delta College fin. bed in first place as conference champions by crushing the league _ with a perfect record of 14-0.

West Valley slid into second place immediately following the confrontation with City College at West Valley. The lady Jaguars ended their season with an overall record of 19-12 and a league record of 9-5, which is a stark contrast to their 57 league record of last season. Sophomore catcher, Jennifer Vandenberg and shortstop Alisa Tipton were named selections to the first team all-conference. Among other players named to the all-conference selections were centerfielder Rashel Perez and infielder Leslie Gonsales to the second team. Head Coach Debbie Huntze is pleased with the effort of her team. "We are in a competetive conference, and for our team to finish third is an accomplishment," commented Huntze. "With our returning freshmen, we look to be more competetive . And to make the Northern California playoffs is our goal for next season."

Jags run in NorCal finals Boldon nears best career time in 100 meter dash by Sean Peterson Sports Editor

Some of San Jose City College's top athletes from the track and field teams competed in the Northern California Community College Finals, held at Diablo Valley College, May 14. Overall the men's team finished sixth in the Northern California Finals. But Coach Stephen Haas said, "Finishing sixth is good for us, but we could have been higher...! was pleased about finishing sixth." The 4 x 400-meter was an exciting race, because there were two bad passes of the baton, that put the Jaguars behind three places. But Ato Boldon closed the gap and exerted a last burst of speed to help the Jaguars attain first place with a mark of 3 minutes and 12.79 seonds. In the Northern California Trials, Boldon took first place in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. His mark for the 100 was one-hundreth of a second slower than his best ever time of 10.22 seconds. Boldon easily captured first place in the 100 with a mark of 10.30 seconds and first with 20.87 in the 200. In the 400, Jaime Lawson was able to capture sixth place, with 48.35 seconds, and qualify for the

state tournament. However teammate Sean Ramos took eigth with 49.95 and will not advance. Sergio Ramos, took seventh place in the discus with a toss of 143 feet. Just missing to qualify for state by 2 feet and one place. The lady Jaguars found similar success finishing eleventh in the Northern California Finals. Despite recovering from some injuries, the 4 x 100 relay team finished third with their fastest time of the season, clocking in at 49.38 seconds. The members of the relay team included Catherine Kamara, Michele Ferguson, Tara Knight and Tasha Knight. Ferguson blazed the track with her speed. She won both the 200- and 400-meter dashes becoming the Northern California Champion in both events. In the 200, Ferguson finished with a 24.44 second mark and a 56.63 in the 400. "She is learning how to run the 400. This is still a learning year for Michele," said Coach Robert Jones.

New school schedule lengthens winter break by Eva Prince Staff Writer

The San Jose/Evergreen Community College District has finalized its calendar for tlle next two years. The spring semester will begin a week earlier and end a week later than previous years in order to allow greater flexibility in scheduling Ule winter mini-session. 'We don't know how the proposed registration fee increase will affect our enrollment," saidMartlla Kanter, dean of instruction, concerning Ule change. "We want enough time for a winter session [and] as much flexibility to offer short courses as we can." For Ule 1993-1994 school year, fall semester begins on August 23

and ends on December 16. Fall finals are from December 17-23. SpringsetnesterbeginsonJanuary 31 and ends on June 2. Spring finals are from June 3-9. Spring break is from March 28 to April3. For the 1994-1995 school year, fall semester begins on August 22 and ends on December 15. Fmals are December 16-22. Spring Semester starts January 30 and ends June 1. Finals are June 2-8. Spring break is Aprill0-16. The calendar was developed through a series of negotiations between tlle Faculty Association and the Administration. "In consort with the Faculty Association and the Administration, I' masked to draw up possible schedules. I drew up three," said Robert Brown dean of admissions

and records. Then, as a result of collective bargaining between the two groups, the final schedule materialized and was ratified by the Faculty Association. Several students disliked the idea of school continuing into the. summer for an extra week. 'That's terrible. I like the old way. I want to be able to start my summer early. I go back to see my fan1ily in Hawaii during Ule summer," said Scarlett Kealoha "I don't like it going into the summer," said Bill Fritzell, Sr. "I'm opposed to the change," said David Tse. "I'd rather get the school year over with." Even witll the calendar change, MarthaKantersaidstudentsatCity College are, "out earlier than any other college in the area."

He is referring to challenges such as the demographic and economic changes tllat occured between 1979 and 1983 and again, tllis year. "This one (economic challenge) seems to be tlle most serious one we've faced yet," Casey said. During his retirement Casey plans to do a lot of fishing as well as adding more hours to tlle time he spends volunteering with the Rotary club, a service organization. His volunteer work includes organizing scholarships for students who want to study overseas for a year. Casey proudly estimates tllat 8 to 15 students are granted full scholarships each year. "The day I retire I'm not going

to put in an application for vacation, I'm not going to ask my boss if it's OK, because everyday is going to be like a weekend," Casey said. "Richard Casey does so many tllings so well on tllis campus and he makes a lot of things go so smootllly ... He's just been a great person to work with," said President Del Anderson. "He knows how to make things happen ... andireallywish hewasn't retiring," Anderson added. Also retiring from City College are Gunhild Swanson, physical education; Darrell Johnston, music; Jan Groenen, govemment; and Custodial Supervisor Willian1 Ware.
