M.I.A.s first, trade second
Racism needs to end by Julia Ballantyne Sports Editor
tis surprising that an administration I which has made its success by hiding in gray areas of issues now hides in the refuge of black and white. The decision to lift the trade embargo on Vietnam can not be black and white as Presi den t Clinton and big business would like you to believe. It is a highly emotional and volatile situation which won't be easily decided. This embargo was imposed as an inspiration for the communist government to release the soldiers, dead and ali~e, left behind after the United States' shameful and hurried departure from the American embassy in Saigon. To this date, 2,200 of those men and women remain unaccounted for by both the American and Vietnamese governments. We would not dream of buying diamonds from South Africa until apartheid is completely abolished or purchasing oil from Iraq while Hussien still holds the office of president or smoking a box of Cuban cigars in a Havana casino until Fidel Castro has been wrested from power, so why excuse the Vietnamese government from a simple task they were asked to do 19 years ago? The black and white answer is money. Since the end of the Cold War and the relatively easy victory in the Persian Gulf, the American economy has been slump-

ing because for the past forty years the United States has been preparing for a war no one is interested in fig hting and we now find ourselves with storehouses of worthless weapons and technology. This false stimulation of our economy has finally reached its end and Clinton and big business know that without opening new markets our economy is dead and Vietnam has 80 million potential consumers of American products. But even Clinton's black and white logic lacks the clarity needed for such a monumental decision. Although all nations would benefit by the United States reestablishing trade with South-east Asia, the scale would once again be tipped greatly in favor of our former enemies. More manufacturers would abandon American workers for the cheap slave labor of a foreign country, the importation of American products would be at the whim of a hostile government and our trade deficit would soar to unimaginable new heights. Until every American M.I. A. is accounted for, the United States can not emotionally, fmancially or morally afford to re-establish trade with Vietnam. The lives of American soldiers are worth far more than a cheap T.V.

Lady Jags slam dunk top team by Julia Ballantyne Sports Editor

(IBasketball
The women's basketball team of San Jose City College is currently standing at 5-4 in the conference and 16-14 overall. The Lady Jaguars have really made a comeback in their last few games, climbing fast from last place in the Golden Gate Conference to a very competitive second place. Having a shot at the playoffs is not out of reach for the Jaguars if they win their final three games of the season. One of the most important wins for the Jags this season has been a 66-42 victory earlier this month over the No. 1 ranked team in the state, College of San Mateo. The Jags had been defeated twice this season by San Mateo prior to their big win. The Jags battled the flrst game into overtime and lost the second game by nine points. "As a team we made a commitment to shut them down early on in the game. I think the girls got pumped up because they had the confidence to beat them, knowing

If they win their last three games, a shot at the playoffs is not out of reach for the Lady Jaguars the game." According to Coach Oberg, the girls are really healthy and ready to go more than ever. "We've gotten an extra spark." That extra spark comes from a team whose only losses have been within 3 to 5 points to the best teams in the state. "The biggest positive right now
is that we are playing really well and peaking at just the right time. It's taken us a long time but everyone is stepping up to their role, passing the ball well and playing better as a team. That's really what's making us successful and stronger," Coach Oberg said. Next in line for the Lady Jags are two very important games that will either make or break their chance at the state playoffs. Their main goal, according to Oberg, is to land second place in the conference and go to the playoffs. "Our philosophy for the next three games is to defensively shut the teams down to 40 points," Oberg said. The firs t game will be hosted by the Jaguars against San Joaquin Delta at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15. It will be a double hitter with the men's basketball team. The second and final game for the Jags this season will be an away game played at 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18 against the No. 1 conference-ranked team in overall offense and defense, City College of San Francisco.
Huntze believes that they will be facing some very competitive teams. "Five out of the eight teams in ng back th is season with a team the Golden Gate Conference are ade up of almost half returning really tough," Huntze said. Look for a preview in the next ·ophomores.

Annette Horn, 24, dies of leukemia at Stanford by Margaret Bethel Opinion Editor
"Annette Hom: a woman with a passion for sports, for her education, for justice and for friendship," is how Priscilla Santos, San Jos~ City College counselor, described former City College s tude nt Annette Hom, who died of leukemia on Thursday, Jan . 20. Before Hom graduated from City College with an Associate in Arts degree in tbe spring of 1993, she served as representative to the California Student Association of Community Colleges for the Associated Student Council. "We lost a good friend ," said ASC President David McKague, "and we are looking into starting a memorial scholarship in her name."
Hom was diagnosed with leukemia in July of 1989. Afterabonemarrowtransplant, her leukemia went into remission and Hom went back to bringing "excitement, motivation , life , loudness, determination and love to a group of student activity members," Santos said. Hom, who had transferred to San Jose State University, learned that her leukemia had returned after trying out for tbe SJSU women's basketball team, which entailed a physical examination. Soon after she was rediagnosed, Hom died at Stanford Medical Center. She was 24. " Anneue has shared her love with many and has made us feel real," Santos said . "Carry that love and her smile in your heart."
En ro II me nt----F-ro_m_p_a-ge_o_n_e advanced classes remained open. Aside from the numbers, Brown said that the registration process ran much beuer this semester than it bas in the past, largely because of a decision to schedule four student appointments every five minutes rather than the traditional six appointments. Brown said that he hopes to install a telephone registration system within a year, further im-
proving the process of registration . 'T m very hopeful that we' 11 get out of the dark ages," be said. The only problem with the plan is that it may cost as much as $180,000topurcbase the computer hardware and software needed. Brown said tbat the district will not save any money with the phone system. "It's strictly a service to students and I'm all for it"
