Letter

Have faith in the church

Editor: I must object to Mr. Jon Perez's commentary in the San Jose City College Times ('Poi-Dog Special,' Nov. 30, 1995). He insinuates that 'organized religion' is more about money than anything else. This is such a tired old song. Many churches use their funds to do the

will of God on earth by assisting those in need. It's not about profi~ but about faith and you won'tseeit until you believe it. In the mean. time, let us pray. Sincerely, Evan Nelson San Jose City College

Odd-acting k ids by Mike Hanna Special to the Times

You've seen them before. That bunch of rowdy, cigarette-smoking, cape- wearing, odd-acting kids that hangout in front of the student union. What's with these kids anyway? And .where did they come from? The answer consists of two potent words: Project Advance. Project Advance is a good program, or at least I think so. The program enables its students to participate in actually getting an education in a quiet learning environment: college classes. Project Advance students take them , as well as high school classes, and acquire mass credits to advance themselves to graduation, or just graduate in general. I asked some of these kids what they think of the prestiged San Jose City College and their opin-

ions were almost all the same. The typical response was, "What do you want? It's school man!" But when I probed further into their minds these kids started to say nice things about City College. "After my experience here, I could never go back to regular high school. There's just not enough freedom," was a popular answer. After just one semester of enrollment, I developed a completely new outlook on public education: high school is nothing but following rules. I've learned more in one semester of taking college classes than in two years of high school. I think the majority of people in general are happier when they reach college. It feels good to be treated like an adult. It's nice to sit in a class and actually be able to hear what the teacher is saying and learn things. In other words, get an education.

As a human, I am not allowed to make wild, passionate love to a complete stranger (it could spread STDs), I am not allowed to jump off a building with an Uzi in each hand in order to stop a mad terrorist bomber who is holding innocent people hostage, all of whom are relying on me to save them before the terrorist's Ninja hench men massacres them all (that's a job for the police). But for a price, I can watch people do these things in a movie, and not suffer any consequences. The whole reason I go to a movie, is so I can feel like I'm a part of the movie. I want to be the character on the screen, I want to feel like I'm doing exactly what that character is doing. I could be mistaken but the last time I saw Steven Segal kick somebody in the teeth, I don't think he had to deal with a kid kicking the back of his chair, or a fat man stealing his arm rest. I realize that I am still young and have no experience dealing

ball fans are probably pretty disap-

Practical advice to help an impractical shopping season by Pauline Rudy Staff Writer For those who think Macys is an exstension of the house they never have to clean, Christmas is justamatterofjuggling a few extra packages. But for those who only see the inside of a mall on Dec. 24, this list will navigate you through the abyss of slippers and sweaters with a bit of cash and sanity to spare. Do: Make a list and check it twice. It takes less energy to remember everybody who bought you a gift last year than to dodge them for the entire next year. Don't: Wander through the mall without a plan. You're likely to be lured into Expressly Portraits and come out looking like a Tammy Faye wannabe. Do: Stick to your budget. It

will direct you away from Nordstrom and into the Kmart parking lot where you really belong. Don't: Forget that a bargain isn't a bargain if you don't need it. If your friends aren't efficient in grooming their own hair, what are the odds of their success with a Chiapet? Do: Study the sale ads before going shopping. Consider ita crash course in prices for those of you who paid $100 for your last pair of sneakers. Don't: Spend more than you have allotted for each gift. If your friends judge you by the extravagance of your gifts, you're likely to save money next year buying fewer gifts. Do: Set a budget, determine what you can afford and divide it by the number of gifts you have to

buy. If you want to spend more on one, reduce the cost of another to make it balance. Remember, drugstores stock keychains at the checkstands. Don't: Wait untill Dec. 24 to do all your shopping, the stores will be full of lost men with panicked looks. However, your purchases will be 75 percent off. Do: Consolidate your trips. You'll save gas and decrease the possibility of getting caught with your auto insurance payment tied up in acrylic sweaters. Don't: Forget the true spirit of the season even when number 42 has just been called, and you're holding number 94. Do: Make your significant other's gift the most expensive. Your mother and your dog will always love you.

California style white Christmas by Colton W. Evert Staff Writer

----------------------For people all around the world, wintertime means snowball fights, sledding and ice skating down at the local pond. For people all around San Jose, winter time means fights with angry shoppers, slipping in puddles and ice skating at the local mall. California is renowned throughout the U.S. for having the nicest weather year-round. People tired of cold and snowy winters in other states move here to escape. To people born and raised in places with sub-zero winters the idea of getting a tan in the middle ofNovembermay sound appealing, but the many people born and raised in San Jose the winter months mean another year of missing out on the "traditional" Christmas shown in television commercials.

But gradually, thatischanging. Christmas in the Park has been an annual tradition in Downtown San Jose. It consists of large displays of what Christmas looks like all around the world. Snow covers the ground at Christmas in the Park, it's Styrofoam snow, but it's more that most San Jose natives have

seen. A new addition to Christmas in the Park this year is the ice skating rink, located outside the convention center. For a few dollars, people are allowed to get the feeling of skating on an open pond, instead of in a stuffy mall. As the winter months go by, San Jose is getting colder, the rain is starting to come down and people comment about how much nicer it is here instead of back east For a few people, a short trip to downtown will mean a white Christmas.

of its precursor. Such is the case with the movie "Father of the Bride II." ''Father of the Bride II," picks up with George Banks, played by Steve Martin ("Housesitter'', "Parenthood"), fully recovered from the wedding in "Father of the Bride" when his daughter Annie, played by Kimberly Williams ("Cold Blooded", "Jake's Women"),No announces thatGeorge she is pregnant sooner does

come to accept his daughter's pregnancy, than his wife Nina, played by Diane Keaton ("Annie Hall", "Manhattan") announce that she is also going to have another child. The whole purpose of a sequel is to show the characters that the audience liked in the first movie growing and changing. "Father of the Bride II," seems more interested in rehashing the same wacky antics with the same silly characters.

·The reappearance of Franck Egglehoffer, the wedding coordinator from the first movie played by Martin Short ("Clifford", "Captain Ron"), seems to be tacked on only to keep the audience amused with his unintelligible accent and flamboyant attitude. Steve Martin has dumbed down alotforhisretumasGeorgeBanks, which is a big disappointment seeing how he has moved on from the idiot character in recent films.

To receive a scholarship students should pick up a copy of the scholarship booklet, which will be around January.
