"At the same time, I'm excited," said Paiz. "There will be less pressure." EPOS is based in Auburn, Ala. and has local service agents. Ninety percent of the colleges in California use EPOS and have experienced same day service when needed.

Students will still have the option of registering in person. Phone registration is designed to register continuing students who are in good standing.

Times are hard for many people who are striving to achieve a higher education by going to college. I think only a handful of people do not feel the economic crunch that exists while being a struggling student. Does it make you a bad person when you refuse to give your last dollar to an unknown friend in need? Last Friday a deaf man ap' proached my table. He banded me a printed yellow card which lists the American sign-language alphabet. Upon further study I found that the card costs $1. The money which he collects is for his family. I used American sign-language to communicate with him. I had to search my backpack for enough change to total a dollar so that I could buy the card. I always try to donate money to people who are needy; however, many times I donothaveany spare change, and I feel guilty. Many people struggle monthly to make ends meet by living paycheck to paycheck. I know from flrst hand experience that living like this does not allow any leeway for unexpected emergencies that arise almost daily. Should I feel guilty when I am

I really thinl that God knows what we can and can't do. There are many othe! ways to give thatdonotcostmoooy. Spending quality time with your children, nieces, nephews and maybe the child on the block who always plays alone can be just as rewarding.

'Too lllany probletns by Lisa Truong Staff Writer
Many older people say that we in our twenties are apathetic and non-caring about the issues of the world today. They say we have no cause. Generation X is what they call us. Well, I do care about how screwed up our world has become. We have too many problems, and flnding solutions will eventually rest on our shoulders. Older people say we're not good enough to handle it. When most of the things in this world of ours were getting so messed up I wasn't even born, or I was too young to do very much about it. I didn't ask for all this pollution of the mind, body and spirit. Where is our spirit? Was it taken out with the garbage we see on TV? A couple of years ago I went back to my home state where I grew up. I found my sister, who was then 10, reading from a school book that was from the 1950s. Not to say the book was bad, buthaven 't
we made some type of advancement in education since then? We spend $48 a day to incarcer· ate a juvenile and only $25 a day 10 educate one. What a way to begin our future! We, the twenty something gen· eration have families; we work, and we commute. We're told 10 ftll every waking hour with some· thing to do or we're not wortb • anything. We want desparately 10 believe in something. If I choose just one cause, how much would it cost me? Would ! have help with it or stand alone1 Would it feed or clothe my chil· dren? Or, would I work while some rich, fat cat watches me and feeds himself off my labor? I'm not stupid. I know what's going down with the world, and it's time for a change. I believe this is our cause 10 stand for just one thing we believe in and to leave our mark on soci· ety. Not by how much we have in the bank, but by how much we have in our hearts and how much we are willing to give others when we don't have much for ourselves.

4 ASB card sales decrease b
The Tim es
Thursday, November 9, 1995
by J.S. Sarmento Staff Writer
Sales of Associated Student Body (ASB) cards have been on the decline over the past few years. Between the 1993-94 and 199495 school year, sales of ASB cards have dropped by 28 percent During the 1993-94 school year, the ASB sold a total of 1,002 ASB cards, 511 cards in the fall semester and 491 cards in the spring
semester. At $5 a card, the total revenue was $5,010. In the following school year, 1994-95, The ASB sold a total of 722 cards, 394 cards in the fall semesterand328cardsinthespring semester, for a total revenue of $3,610. This is a decline in sales of 280 cards and a loss of $1,400 in revenue. According to Associated Student Council (ASC) Advisor Priscilla Santos, the decline in card
sales is largely due to a lack of advertising. "As far as I know, we don't have any plans on advertising," said ASC Commissioner of Publicity KerryAnn Larsen. To be a member of any of the clubs on campus, an ASB card is needed; but the decline in card sales doesn't reflect a decline in the participation of students in the many clubs offered at City College.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that is supposed to celebrate the Pillgrams' move into the new world. For some people it is a time they dread because it means having to spend the holiday with their family . Holly Hunter ("The Piano", "Always") plays Claudia Larson, a single mother, who after losing her job and fmding out that her daughter is spending Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, is faced wilh the prospect of going horne for the holiday. From the minute she steps off the plane, her chain smoking, nagging molher Adele, played by Anne Bancroft ("Honeymoon in Vegas", "The Miracle Worker") and her falher Henry, played by Charles Durning (''The Hudsucker Proxy") who loves to wash all the cars in the neighborhood, make her wonder if she can survive Thanksgiving. Holly Hunter plays this role well, exasperated and annoyed at her famil y's behavior, but not being able to hold back a smile at the holiday activities.

Claudia (Holly Hunter) and Tommy Larson (Robert Downy Jr.)
Robert Downey Jr. ("Natural Born Killers", "Short Cuts") bas the most colorful role in the movie as Tommy, Claudia's brother. He provides most of the laughs, with his obnoxious antics that drive his uptight sister Joanne, played by CynthiaStevens(HopeandGloria, Cheers) and her husband Walter, played by Steve Guttenberg ("Police Acadainy", "Diner") crazy. One such scene has the Thanksgiving turkey flying into Joanne's lap as her children and husband watch. She doesn't see the humor in this as the rest of her family does, and she goes into hysterics. His sister has a close relationship with him, and overlooks his behavior, even when it is directed at her, like when he sneaks into the houseatnightandscaresber,takes pictures of her in the shower and drives off in the car without her.
Geraldine Chaplin ("The Age of Innocence") steals the show as Glady. She sings 2and dances and gives out gifts that no one wants. Her ramblings at the Thanksgiving table reveal some things that cause quite a commotion. Director Jodie Foster does a good job of making the family members believable. She didn't go too overboard wilh the characters but still made them funny . The only complaint about this movie was that it seemed to go on too long. The ending was kind of predictable, and the scenes at the end between Claudia and her father didn't really add anything to the movie. All in all, it was a very funny movie. People should see it after Thanksgiving, because after seeing the movie, they might not want to go home for the holidays.

Lady Jaguars lose to Chabot College by Lynda Pearson Staff Writer
Traveling to Chabot College Wednesdaynight,tbeSanJoseCity College Women's Volleyball team lost with the scores of 4-15, 6-15 and 10-15, despite their hard work in the third set 'They (Jaguars) stepped up a little in the last game," said Dawn is Guevara, assistant coach. While the team's inconsistency can be questioned, the team's positivity, heart and spirit is a given every time they step on the court. "Playing without key players may have hampered their ability yet it did not hamper their spirits to give it their all, "said coach Huerta on the Jaguars' loss against the Foothill College Owls on Nov. 3. The scores were 15-11,9-15,1511-15 and 6-15.
Freshman Shannon Wright said, "Since the starting setter was out due to an injury, Priscilla Coleman did a good job as setter. We played a stronger team but our weaknesses killed us. Our passing was off at crucial times which broke our momentum." The Jags faced the Renegades from Ohlone College at home on
Nov. 1. The Jaguars pulledouta victory with the scores of: 10-15,15-12,815,15-9 and 16-14. 'The Jaguars did an outstandingjob," said Huerta since the team was able to play with unity and overcome sophomore setter Peta Leuluai's injury which saw freshman Priscilla Coleman take her
place. "Being able to rise to the challenge by becoming versatile in changing players due to an injury was exactly what the Jaguars were able to accomplish against Renegades," said Huerta. "I think that our team has a lot of heart and talent as a young team. Weareprogressingbetterwitheach game. We all have done our best including growing as a team," said freshman Vanessa Dunn. "We have improved a lot from the beginning of the year. I think that we are one of the best freshman teams out there. Next year we will be much better," said freshman Andrea Hernandez. At 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10 the Jaguars face the City College of San Francisco at home. This will be the last home game for the Lady Jaguars.
Basketball ready to roll by Jon Perez Assistant Editor
When a team has a season with more than 20 wins, there isn't much to improve. But for head basketball coach Percy Carr, it is a different story. Whenever a team has a lot of returning sophomores, nine for the Jaguars, expectations run high. "Anytime you win over 20 games, you have a good year," said Carr. ''We anticipate tohaveagood ·year this year." Six feet, 8 inches tall Torraye Braggs, 6 feet, 10 inches tall Steve Pienkoski and 6 feet, 6 inches tall Terrill Woods equal a strong sophmore frontline. "I think we're the best frontline in the nation," said Woods. ''We got more size, more rebounding and more scoring ability," said Braggs. The Jaguars will host Sierra College in their season opener at 8 p.m. on Nov. 10.

In the past, the ASC would ap-
proach athletic director Bert Bonanno with the proposed date of homecoming. The only adjustment Bonnano would have to make was an extra five minutes to half time for the presentation of the homecoming king and queen. Because the event isn't taking place it seems that the Jaguars' team members would be disappointed by the fact that there is no homecoming, they have not been affected. "I haven't heard one complaint out of them," Bonnano said.
assigned to tasks such as fulfllling transcript and grade requests as well as other office tasks that are often delayed during the busy registration period. No permanent employees will be dismissed, but there will be no need to hire temporary staff during the registration crunch as is the practice now said Wesley. The overall efficiency of the Admission/Registration office is expected to improve once the employees are freed up by this new system. Phone registration will have a
help line with a live operator. Payment for classes must lx mailed to the school within 10 da~ or charged to a credit card at lit time of the phone call. Payment envelopes will be iJ the class schedule. Printouts will be mailed to lit student's home. Wesley plans to create a focus group made up of students to ~ the system in a mock registratioo during spring 1996. "It's still in a developmental stage .. .It's exciting that we halt this coming," said Wesley.
