by Brandy Sailors Staff Writer

Ready, aim, fire! A sigh of relief escapes the wide-eyed target, known as Mrs. Udoutch, as a paper plate mounded with harmless whip cream splats below her exposed face. Not even vicious threats of failing grades can detour the determined Louis from hurling his aggressions in the form ofa whipped cream "pie." There's nothing like a healthy dose of revenge for these tyrants of the class-

room.

All this delicous revenge was made possible at the Parent Action Group Pie toss May 4. The fundraiser was held in order to raise funds for two $100 scholarships to be awarded to a tran fer parent and to a continuing parent.

Each plate ofhumiJiation required only a 75 cent donation . A table of goodies had even been set up to sati fy any sweet tooth and boo t enough energy to reload and betow some more humiliation on current, past and future in true-

At 11:30 am. the victim was

Deborah Barth, a history -instructor; at noon the doom was shared byPeteEliscoandJeffNormentof the Disabled Students Program; and at 12:30 p.m. George Forrester of the drama department and Mr. Weiss. Not only did the taste of victory belong to students, but they were also able to buy raffel tickets for prizes ranging from dinner for two to car stereo speakers.

An unexpected twist occurred when Anna decided it would be great to practice her marksmanhipon her"friend" Jarred. It was amazingly difficult to hit a nonmoving target, o most of the participants had to be satisfied to taste only platters of the fluffy cream.

Ju tasthmg werelookinggrim for the deprived wdents, Cindy tepped up in the name of ju tice.

Cindy, who'll be facing final in a couple of weeks with Barth, flred the first bullseye. As the paper plate lowly slid down, leaving the melting whip cream to drip lowly to the ground, the onlooker gave a cheer.

it was time to make her sacrifice in the name of charity. But before she was prepared, an unknown assailant splatted her with a fresh mound of whipped cream. The blare of music from Hot 97.7 only added to the chaos. " ... And there's the wind upbut wait! Hey, you're supposed to throw it at the target in front of you, not the buddy next to you, right?

Editorial

Reach out and teach someone an you imagine an uncrowded classroom? No parking fees for the entire semester? And a home cooked meal for lunch rather than stale cafeteria food?

Well these dreams could come true if California decides to fund such a project and the supporters of this idea call it, distant learning.

Some states have already dabbled with the idea of distant learning.

The program involves interactive video equipment set up both at the university and near the student's home (i.e. a community room or other public place) so that those people who can't afford or are otherwise unable to move away from home can still enjoy the benefits of college.

Sounds like a great idea right?

The problem is that every utopia has its costs. There is no social aspect for any of these students. The closest a "distant" student can ever get to the teacher is a phone call: not a good way to solve a chemistry problem.

And what of the cost?

Who should foot the bill for these video stations, which cost several thousand dollars each?

You couldn't possibly expect it to be the poor farmer who can't afford to pay for his son to go away to school and that

The wolves are already at the doorstep of California schools and expensive new programs aren't the answer to our fiscal fiasco.

If students want the benefits of an education they can and will drag themselves out of bed and attend classes like everyone else.

"Distant learning" is just another farfetched idea from the libertarians, trying to please everyone but eventually helping no one.

So you and your co-workers think that you are underpaid? It's been five years since a cost of living increase? So a close group of friends takes a vote amongst themselves and agree to give you a hefty pay raise. Wouldn't that be rich?

That is precisely what an independent commission approved for the California State Legislature.

This increasewould give legislators an extra $20,000 in salary, on top of their regular salary of $52,000 a year and not including the $21,000 per diem salary for expenses.

That totals out to $93,000 a year for each of our 120 state representatives.

And where will this $2,400,000 come from? Our pockets, ofcourse.

Call it whatever you will, State Fund or bank account, the money still is generated by our taxes .

Assembly speaker Willi e Brown bemoaned on television that nowbe"Can'tevenbavealobbyist pay for his lunch."

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if Brown bad to pay for his own lunch like the rest of us blokes?

Brown also added that it was unjust for his colleague, representative Tom Hayden, to speakout that be didn't feel right about accepting the hike.

"We all know that Tom got his money from Jane," Brown said.

After many meetings and discussions about it, three of the four board of trustee members voted against it claiming that the timing was inappropriate because of the $1.2 million district budget cut.

What kind of monsters would assign five papers the last week of school?

Is it the doing of some sadi tic instructor ' association, such as IRE, In tructors' Revenge/Education?

Or is it simply because you recycled your syllabus the first day of class and forgot to note that four months down the line a research would be due?

I think uggestion is more in touch with reality.

So for all those students out there who are busily cramming for exams and trying to squeeze four months of productivity into two or three weeks, you should keep something in mind.

Maybe next semester you can do thin differently and more efficiently.

World champions from more than 30 nations to compete May 28

by Julia Ballantyne and

Vmce Washington

World record holders, olympic champions, world champions and elite track and field athletes from more than 30 nations will grace San Jo~ City College with their presence in the 17th annual Bruce Jenner Classic May 28.

City College will host one of two meets held in the U.S. on the

Mobil Grand Prix Tour schedule, the worlds oldest and most renowned outdoor meet in the U.S. 'The event will include athletes such as olympic champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee, world record holder and world champion Dan O'Brien as well as olympic champion and former City College decathlete Bruce Jenner.

In 1972 Jenner, prior to winning the 1976 Montreal olympics,

was invited 10 train with the City College track team by District Athletic Director Bert Bonanno.

Bonanno met Jenner at the MunicOlympics where he fmished fifth in the decathlon event. Jenner trained daily at City College from 1972-76 until he won the 760lympics and became famous. Jenner now lives in Beverly Hills of Los Angeles and continues to support outdoor athletic events.

The meet will start with the pole vault event at 9:30am .. Featured events to follow include both the men's and women'slOO and 400-meter dashes and 1,500 and 3,000 meter distance runs.

Competition is deep with worldclass athletes like olympians Gayle Devers and Kevin Young. "With names like that a record could be broken anytime," said Bonanno.

The timing for the meet is in

City College's favor as the school's track just got a brand new Surf<K't, according to Bonanno.

Tickets will cost $10 to Sl dollars and may be purchased through any Bass Ticket ou tlet ~ at the door.

Checks made payable to Bl1lCt Jenner Classic will also be accepted if mailed to: Bruce Jenner Classic, 2100 Moorpark Ave. , San J~ CA. 95128.

inspire kids to success

by Laura Lazzarini Entertainment Editor

San Jo~ City College has its own Ambassadors of ambition and success that visit high schools throughout the bay area .

This group of volunteers speaks to groups of kids about the wonders of City College, and exactly how a college education enables them to be successful in their lives.

Tho se in the Ambassador Project, organized by Rosalie Gonzales and team leader Hugo Hernandez take time out of their own lives to give something back.

At least 20 students volunteer as ambassadors and take personal time 10 make a contribution to the lives of the young students.

"It's wonderful. They have their own personal lives and jobs but they have time for this. I am impressed with their dedication to help, " said Gonzales.

The students the project addresses come from different cultural backgrounds. The Ambassador Project hopes to open the young impressionable minds to possibilities other than "gang banging."

"They are good kids but they are just going down the road we have all gone through, " said Hernandez, the project leader.

Hernandez described the kids in three different categories; at risk, these students could be in trouble with the law; mainstream kids, your basic everyday kid whose ears close up when he bears the word 'college' ; or special referrals, individual kids that need someone 10 guide them.

The ambassadors are matched up to the specific audience that they are addressing based on their heritage and expertise. Not only are they trying to get students 10 come to college but they are trying to lure students to City College.Tbey mention that the camous has lots of different cul-

tural clubs and groups, so students can continue their connection with their particular community.

"You should see them after a session, asking questions and alert, andknowingthatyoubavetoucbed them," Hernandez said.

The program is also successful at involving the students' parents in the process. They'll often sign upforclassesalong with their kids.

The program is here to stay and will be alive and well as long as tbere are dedicated, ambitious volunteers to evangelize the benefits of college.

Chances are, you've seen Bill Chew before.

City College students were treated to their own Cinco de Mayo celebration. The celebration included music, dancing, art and speeches, all with the usual traditional Mexican flare.

Food was provided by three City College clubs: La Raza, MECbA and the Las Americas Language club. All three tables drew big crowds as people laughed and bad fun all afternoon.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of a May 5, 1862, battle by the Mexican army over the French army.

Though they lost the war, the people of Mexico flnally bad their day when Benito Juarez became their president in 1865.
