Library installing on-line system • Computers ready for use May 30

by Michael Gonzales Staff Writer

San Jost City College will leap into the 21st Century next week.

Perhaps it is less of a leap and more of a catching up with the times.

Starting the week of May 30, the City College library will install an on-line computer system. Students will no longer need to struggle with the time-consuming task of using the old-fashioned card catalog. Instead, students will have the location and availability of material at not one, but two libraries at their fmgertips.

The on-line system will be a collaboration of City College and Evergreen Valley College library material. Material can be searched on the system through a variety of methods. Students can use author, title, call number or words in title as choices to research material.

The system is similar to the one used by the San Jose City Public Library branches. However Russell Fischer, Library Director at City College, says the on-line system will be more similar to the library system at San Jose State University.

The system carries a $350,000 price tag.

According to Fischer, the onlinesystem will intially be running on a test database. The test database will include only a limited collectionofmaterial. Fischersays this is so the library staff and students can familiarize themselves with the system. A completed database will be in effect in Fall1994.

In addition, Fischer foresees the initiation of a new and improved library card. The new card will feature a bar code or magnetic strip that will help in tracking down the Harris gree in sociology with an empha- availabil~y of material. sis in law enforcement in 1967.

U.S. cash crop goes under fire T

obacco was America's first cash crop of choice when we broke our ties from Mother England a couple of hundred years ago, giving birth to America's Agricultural Economy.

That cash crop now has an addictive stranglehold on citizens of the United States, and the major Tobacco companies realize this but hope we won't notice as they place the monkey on our backs. lt _has been recently released that a study done by tobacco company, Brown & Williamson, in 1963, revealed that the company knew that nicotine in cigarettes

leads to addiction. The general public was probably aware that cigarettes were addictive up to 15 years ago, but if it was stated as a scientific proven fact it could have swayed people away from smoking.

Smoking toboacco is a personal freedom, and if there is a consesus that it is bad for you, than let the smoker beware. Government should not be able to regulate any more of our personal freedoms, but they should be able to demand the disclosure of scientific studies that have been done by the tobacco industry and any parties that peform studies on the effects of smoking.

Higher education or jails an Jo~ City College students and faculty should pay particular attention to proposition 1C on the June 7 ballot, a bond issue that would frnance new buildings and facilities for community colleges, California State University and University of California campuses.

A project for a new City College Library/Learning Resource center hangs in the balance, pending the outcome of this vote.

If it does not pass, the project will be taken off the approved state list, and it will be another two years before it can be put back on the ballot.

California's economy is ranked among the poorest of the 50 states and every year businesses take their revenue elsewhere. In a job-starved state economy, this issue will provide up to 10,000 jobs and generate $2 million in state revenue.

mentally unsafe campuses would benefit from $900 million in needed repairs, such as asbestos removal, seismic upgrades and earthquake repairs.

The sheer volume of students expected to enter California's higher education system is predicted to total 800,000 new students, with $7.4 billion needed to provide adequate financial support.

It is time for Californians to stop the deluge of state funding for those warehouses of men and women, our state prisons, and turn the monetary tide towards higher education .

Let us give Governor Pete "I hate higher education" Wilson a wake up call to let him know that our priorities are to invest in the future of colleges in California.

Educated workers are a commodity that needs to be nurtured if California is stay competitive in a global market.

'Payback is a @#$*&' is a famous quote that is hitting home for the powers that be in the Denny's restaurant chain.

Their $54 million payout for allegedly denying service to blacks in Maryland and California, hopefully will serve as a payback not soon to be forgotten. Besides good food, good service is the primary reason that people eat at restaurants.

Not only was the service these people received bad, it was unfair as well. Hopefully this will start a new era for Denny's, one with a sense of racial fairness.

Denny's will shell out $34.8 million in damages to people allegedly discriminated against in California and their lawyers, wbile another $20 million will go to the plaintiffs and lawyers of those in Maryland.

Denny's alleged discrimination is the only non-discriminatory part of the sad tale. Denny's refused service to blacks young and old, student and professional.

Denny's will now try to !rain their employees on the law regard. ing discrimination, as well as fea. ture blacks and other minorities in their advertising.

Not only was the service these people recieved bad, it was unfair as well. .. this will start a new era for Denny•s, one with a sense of racial fairness.

I for one am glad to see Denny's step up and take financial respon· sibility for their discriminatory practices, when it could have been just as easy to try to sweep it under the rug. If payback is indeed a •@#$%*' then a $54 million reparation must be the queen.

Letter

Goodbye, City College Editor: Most of you don't even know my last name, but for Winnie-thePooh, that was all he had anyway.

I've taken on his namesake, however, for the past 10 years I've worked and been a continuing student at SJCC. It's time for this Pooh to graduate, rest, retire and smell the roses. "Oh, Bother," I say, as I will miss this setting terribly and all the folks on campus who have made my goal the best it could be for one 64-year-old.

I know I' llleave out names, but I have to mention just a few who have spurred me on. Most of all I've gained such encouragement from the younger students (when they realized I wasn't the instructor for their class!) They accepted me just as I was and didn't mind a bit that I was the oldest person in the room. They,andmyown grown children, all with college degrees, as well as my 12 grandchildren, have been the ones who knew I could make it probably long before I did.

Other are: My counselor, Tim Harper ("You can do it, Winnie!")a; all the gang in the Business Building-Lydia (for my scholarship in Business and Service Careers, and so much help always); Doris (filing can be fun); Donna, Sharon, Janis , Naomi, Denise, Marty,

Freda, Ruth and Joe, who has been my co-workerformayyears. (What would I have done without all the bears you gave me when my spirits were low?)

Some memorable classes (but not always my best grades): U.S. History (DeBold); Business Law (Campbell); Business Human Relations (Cornejo); Career Planning (Harper); health (Brobst); English and Literature (Colligan, Locket, Kendall); Math (Prolo, Sparkman); and every computer course I've ever taken since Wang, after I finally learned not to be intimidated.

Mary Kreibich deserves a special mention, a true and loyal friend, who never let me feel sorry for myself until I got that cap and gown. And to everyone on campus-my wealth of instructors, the staff and support group everywhere, classmates-! thank you for all you havedone formethroogb these years.

I may see you in thefalladayor two a week as I take one more course. A favor please: don' t tell me you've been out of high school so many years youcan't remember anything. I was last there in 1947.

I'll miss you, but the memories and friends from SJCC will alway be the besL Winnie Harwood

Not only are children learning not to valUe education and the learning experience, but they are hardly equipped to compete-with their European and Asian' c(Xiric terparts.

An average U.S. student spends three hours a day learning core acadeiJlic subjects, such as math; scieri& and history~ Thisishalfas much as students in Japan, Fiance, and Germany.

The National Education Commission on Time and Learning 'Said students aie <hurrently in the classroom for six hours a day 180 days a year.

It is hard to tell who is losing the value and the enthusiasm for education.

Is it the teachers, the administrators or the students?

Of the six hours a ctay in the classroom, most schools, on the average, require only 41 percent of the time to be devoted to core subjects.

Although significant. nonacademic subjects like sex education, AIDS education and drug education have increased.

U.S. children should have education in the social issues that will affect them every day for the rest their lives.

But it is cruel to hold back the chance for a child to develop a love for learning.

If this trend were to continueeducating children on AIDS and drugs rather than teaching them English, geography or art-in 40 years our leaders will be illiterate and ignorant.

They will lack the skills to logically solve problems.

But. bey, they won't be doing drugsandmaybetheywon'tbave AIDS, right?

What this country needs to do is make education more fim and interesting. Instead of forcing knowledge down the throats of kids, make them want that knowledge.

The U.S. also needs to make the school year comparable to schools in Europe andAs:ia. Perhaps children need to attend school on Saturdays to devote the necessary time to core subjects.

It may look innocent now.

People maybe saying their children just hate school and won't do their homework. Parents may not want to force them.

But this lax attitude won•t makechildren change theirm.inds and want an education. Like everythingelse, they must be taught to want one.

set things right Lee's character, Eric Draven, is a working class musician, until Draven and his fiancre are savagely killed by a gang of crackedout thugs. (His character, created by comic book writer James O'Barr, was inspired by Dr. Seuss, Iggy Pop, and Edgar Allan Poe.) A year later, Draven' s soul and his body are resurrected, and he runs amuck playing vigilante and beatnik poet at the same time.

He has supernatural crow vision as well as a crow tour guide through the dark, Gothic city.

Seemingly unstoppable he now has supernatural healing powers, as well;evengunshotwoundsmysteriously close up on his body.

Draven tracks down every member of the crime gang and . brutalizes them in an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth fashion.

Gratuitous violence is the norm in this film, and the industrial hard core music soundtrack fleshes out thebloodyviolencetoafeverpitch intensity.

Right before he kills, Draven espouses Edgar Allan Poeisms, one ofthefewinstancesofwell-written dialogue in the movie.

Michael Wincottdoes a formidable job as the cool-as-ice gang leader, Top Dollar.

His performance is lessened by banal dialogue such as, "Childhood is over the moment you know you are going to die."

One of the few respites from

Brandon Lee gets a second chance at life to avenge his death. the dark dismal characters in this film is Ernie Hudson, who plays officer Albrecht. His character drew the most laughs from the audience.

Albrecht was the chief honcho at Draven' s and his fiancee's original murder scene. He picks up Draven's trail as members of the Top Dollar gang began to drop like flies.

The city itself ismadeofupone dimensional sets. It is quite obvious in several scenes that these are sets made up in miniature, and any second the audience could expect to see Godzilla saunter down the

street.

Lee's performance is acceptable, but a little on the weary side.

Done up in his "Crow" makeup he looks a little like Gene Simmons of the rock band Kiss.

This was Alex Proya' s frrstshot at directing an American film.

Well, they say the second time is a charm.

There is a lot of unused potential here, and one cannot help but wonder if Lee's death left a pall over the entire production.

Perhaps fans of the comic book will fJ.nd more to connect with in this film than weird coincidences.

A·season to remember

by Michael J. Gonzales Staff writer As with all things, the year in

San Jos~ City College sports has come to an end. It ends not with a whimper but with a bang leaving athletes and coaches with everlasting memories of events they will rehash throughout their lifetimes.

I have compiled a list of this year' s magic memories .

•Down by one with two outs, two strikes in the bottom of the last inning and playoff hopes in the balance, outfielder Kristy Stockton ripped a two run game-winning double as the softball team knocked off West Valley College.

•Mardina Banks stunned all by placing flfth in the 400m at a Golden Gate Conference meet for the women' s track team. Banks reached deep down to improve her personal best by eight seconds.

•Facing elimination and needing to flnish third to qualify for the Nor Cal tournament, the golf team went beyond the call of duty and placed second. They eventually earned a spot in the state tournament.

•Despite being undermanned, the men' s track and fleld team fmished with a record of 11-3. The 4X100m teamofMontazhCriltle, Jarron T urner, Sanuny Cole and Jerry Kai Lewis ran a season best 41 .03 seconds to place third at the State Finals.

Friday, June 17, will be the last day to officially register for the 1994 summer session classes which Ibegin Monday, June 20.

"But we'll continue registering during the first week," said Rosalie Eskew, San Jost City College Registrar.

As of Monday, May 23, there were 1, 744 students registered for summer classes, a 20 percent de-

crease from last year's 2,178 registered students.

However, last year, six students were being registered every five minutes, whereas this year, four students are being registered every five minutes, which may account for the current decrease in enrollment.

With 30 fewer classes being offered this year, "it's a rather limited choice of classes for summer school," said Jon Skullestad, an air conditioning and refrigeration stu-

dent at City College.

There are now 164 summer classes available, down from last year's 194. "It's really a matter of offering classes students need ...and budgeting correctly," Eskew said.

After squeezing 18 weeks of classes into six weeks, the summer session will end Friday, July 29.

"S ummer school classes are definitely advantageous to stu· dents, butitisbard ... youbave to be very committed and very disci· plined," Eskew said.
