Witb a Dec. 1 deadline looming in the headlights, San Jose City
College made yet another appeal to overturn the denial of a onceapproved application for admision to tbe Coast Athletic Conference in tbe 1994 academic year. When tbe final vote was cast on Monday, City College won. So marks the end of an era for City College, which bas competed in the Golden Gate Conference for more tban 26 years. Over tbe course of the next four years, City College will be one of 12 schools competing within the Coast Conference.

Protesters' 'rights' denied F
reedom of expression is one of the most cherished of all inalienable rights. Americans pride themselves on the right to peaceful assembly and the right to picket and pass out literature so their voices will be heard. But these rights can be taken too far. The Senate and the House recently passed similar versions of a bill making it a federal offense to harass doctors who perform abortions or people trying to patronize abortion clinics. Some members of pro-life groups, such as Operation Rescue, have made it a point to physically enforce their views onto unwilling participants of the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate. Often, those who advocate abortion rights become targets or people to be made examples of. Abortion clinics are not just picketed any more. Sometimes they are bombed. Women considering abortions sometimes receive threatening letters. Doctors known to perform abortion procedures are also
threatened, and are liable to have their faced posted up around neighborhoods labeled as "murderers." To some extent, it could be argued that this law is a violation of pro-lifers' rights to assemble peacefully and to exercise their right to free speech. However, any violation is a justifiable one. Their rights stop being Constitutional the moment they begin to infringe on someone else's rights. Making threats or making a person the victim of harassment is definitely an infringement on another individual's rights. Pro-lifers are not merely exercising their right to free speech; they are taking away the rights of others who they just don't happen to agree with. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled a woman's choice to have an abortion is protected by the Consitutution. Women have been given the right to choose; no one else has the right to try to take that choice away.
Populace wi ll have the final vote more than two centuries, the F orAmerican people have elected officials to represent their views and vote on issues based on the wants of their constituents. This type of indirect democracy, where the majority of citizens are represented fairly, has had a great impact on the growing strength of this nation. Today, this democracy has been replaced with members of Congress who feel they are so intellectually superior to

California Congressman Norman Mineta is just one of the many representatives who ignored the pleas of the men and women who elected him and voted in favor of NAFf A. Considering this man was elected to serve and represent the people, it is unfortunate that he chose to slight them when they were counting on him.

-Code of Ethics, Society of Professional Journalism Welcome to the twentieth century, where journalistic integrity and professionalism abound, and only the tabloids fail to report the truth ... Guess again, readers... In the Nov. 11 issue of the Times, a commentary based on an astounding absence of fact was written and published by ChristopherGeer, the newspaper 's self-appointed "Devil's Advocate." His commentary article accused the ASC of censorship and fascism due to the ASC' s resolution to oppose state Proposition 174. On Oct. 27, only days before the statewide election, the ASB sponsored an event called "Fry the Voucher Day." This event was simultaneously conducted on city college campuses across the state, as a gesture of our joint disapproval for Prop. 174, the Voucher Initiative. During this event, Geer claims that members of the ASC burned the California State ballot. There never was any such ballot burning. In fact, the only thing that was burnt was during Artie Lashbrook's attempt to make hamburgers.
that the ASC members "have convinced themselves that their views ar right that they re to give up the soapbox so with opposing views may put own ideas on the floor." This not be further from the truth. By the very nature of the ftJl. we are unable to do such a thir.; even if we wanted to. This is · was debated in council, and o to whomever wanted to pre their viewpoint. Anyone who wan to speak on campus, espec~ during an event such as this t allowed to. Anyone who may ha11 cared to set up a booth to distribuk opposing literature and viev. would have been able to do so. The media have a responsibiJ. ity to their readers. America~ journalism has developed a goi reputation because of the efforts a groups such as the American S<f ciety of Newspaper Editors aoo Sigma Delta Chi, the Society d Professional Journalists. It is 5l to see this sort of behavior from a college newspaper, the media fa an institution that prides itself O£ truth. Doug Lorem Commissioner of tbt College Union

Editor: First impressions are difficult to overcome. Unfortunately my frrst impression of our school newspaper was a rather accusatory piece by a smug-looking ChristopherGeer, aptly penning a ''Devil' s Advocate" article "The Nazi Youth Brigade welcomes the ASC."

Upon reading of a form burning I was at once cheering and aprehensive of the chaotic expression of our local
Editor's Response Christopher Geer's Nov. 11 "Devil's Advocate" column was written in protest of the "Fry the Voucher" rally. We received notification of this event from the Commissioner of Student Activities who later con-

By the Way ... Guess what? A recent study presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington, D.C., has proved what we as college students have known for quite some time... caffeine actually perks up your attention. When subjects drank a couple cups of coffee 20 minutes before testing, their "eye-blink startle reflexes" improved. The study also suggested that "when you're driving late at night, seeing the same thing over and over, it (coffee) might be helpful." Maybe these researchers really don' thave anything to do.

In a far from perfect world where Hollywood's glamour and glitz captivate the big screen, it's an unexpected twist to see the actuality of the world's imperfections brought to light. "A Perfect World," set in Texas in 1963, stars Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner and Laura Dern in an honest portrayal of the harsh realities of life. Butch Haynes (Costner) is an escaped convict trying to make his way from Huntsville, Texas, where he was serving 40 years for armed robbery, to Alaska, where he thinks he will find freedom. Through unforeseen circumstances he ends up with Phillip Perry, an eight-year-old hostage played by TJ. Lowther. In the 48 hours they are on the open road running from the law, Lowther and Costner get to know one another and eventually team up, providing comic relief with

chase and suggest alternative plans to catch Costner. While there seemed to have been two different plots throughout the movie, they both proved equally interesting. One portrays the rivalry and respect formed between Eastwood andDem. The other depicting the relationship developed by Costner and Lowther. The actors appeared as if the part for which they were cast came naturally to them, making the char-
acters more realistic and the over· all plot more believable. Although the movie was enjoyable and recommendable, would have been better if the characters had more with each other. This would enhance the plo~ taking away the impression that there were two different going on. It would also have strengthened the already reverent relationship between the two main characters, Eastwood and Costner.

Jaguars strive for state finals again by Julia Ballantyne Sports Editor
With only two returning starters, forward Kim Yanda and point guard Kira Powell, the women's basketball team has a challenging season ahead. "We will be playing against a lot of teams with more experience than us, but we're going to play as hard as we can and be ready to go when the league games start in January," five-year veteran Head Coach Terri Oberg said. Starting forward Kim Yanda, a returning sophomore and AllConference freshman last year, has more playing time and experience than any other player on the team, something that could be a setback for the Jaguars overall, according to Coach Oberg. Last year the Lady Jaguars finished second in the state with a total record of26 wins and ?losses, one of those losses being to Allan Hancock College in the second round state finals. The Jaguars have a lot of pressure on them this year to uphold their victories and reputation for
currently at a record of l-5 in their pre-conference games, Coach Oberg feels extremely confident about the team. "We have a lot ofleaders on the team and there's great chemistry
among us. The girls get along well and have great character; they are preparing to play hard and competitive in every game," Coach Oberg said. The next home game for the Lady Jaguars will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17, against American River College. Oberg wanted to encourage people to come out and support the team saying, "we will only be getting better and we play a tough game, one you won't want to miss."

ey's 'aunt' shocks Kitty Verdun (Suzanne Hollis),
lgnagni .drags show to success 'Charley's Aunt' a laugh at last by Doug Cortney Assistant Editor
Two men were chasing a man who was dressed as a woman who was flirting with the two girls who were being chased by the other two men. Got that? If the situation is still a little confusing, you must have missed "Charley's Aunt," the San Jose City College drama deparunent's fall performance, which ran from Nov. 12 to Nov. 21. This three-act comedy, written by Brandon Thomas and brought to life by George Forrester and hls cast of ten, revolves around Jack Chesney's (Michael Goodson) and Charley Wykeham's (John Rhoadarmer) need to declare their undying affections for Kitty Verdun(SuzanneHollis)andAmy Spettigue (Heidi Webster). But, ab, there's the problem. For Stephen Spettigue (Brian Ward), Verdun's guardian and Amy Spettigue's uncle, will not allow the women to spend time alone with the young knaves. The problem is solved when the Chesney invites the women to lunch with Wykeham's wealthy Brazilian aunt as chaperone- un-

The show bad been slower than a man in heels up to this pointalmost enough to warrant leaving at the flrst intermission - but the action took off when Babberley donned his dress and bonnet. The otherwise solid acting was occasionally broken when Rhoadarmer (Charley) slipped out of accent or when Ward opened his mouth. Rhoadarmer did fairly well with his English accent while delivering lengthy speeches, but seemed to have a fondness for an American accent when speaking shorter lines. Ward- set up as the imposing authority figure before whom the other principles cower - came across more whiney than imposing. An unfortunate casting decision. The most impressive acting came from Beverly Dennison (Charley's real aunt), who played a minor part in the show, but played it to perfection. She was regal, refined and aloof. Her dry wit was an effective foil to the almost ·-.-;..,
