Don't ask, don't tell Military investigation goes too far by Sonya Wormington Staff Writer
Editorial
The military has implemented its "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Under this ruling, homosexuals are permitted to serve in the military as long as they don'thave sex with service members and keep their sexual orientation and conduct private. However, recently the military has been asking more questions than it should. In a military hearing in San Antonio, Air Force Major Debra L. Meeks was charged with sodomy, for allegedly having an affair with a civilian woman. She was also charged with conduct unbecoming of an officer. If convicted on both counts, she would face discharge, loss of pension, a fine and up to eight years in sweltering summer heat in classrooms a military prison. without air conditioning, during a time Throughout the course of the when the cafeteria was closed and vending trial, Meeks was asked about her machines were unable to keep up with the sexual orientation.

Good news and bad news Welcome to San Jose City College. It's a new semester and a new school year which brings with it an array of unfinished business. The good news is that the SJCC/EVC Community College District has a new chancellor, Dr. Geraldine Evans. The bad news is that the position of president of City College is still a nomadic position with the appointment of William Kester as temporary interim president Enrollment is up, but the number of parking spaces is down, soon to get worse with the installation of portable classrooms in the south lot to accomodate the high school continuing education group. Even more will soon be lost to the addition of the Learning Resource Center on the Moorpark lot. Even the name evokes images of something dug up from the ground. Odd, that with so much money available for new construction our existing facilities are eroding away. The good news is that there is a bigger budget, the bad news is that you will probably still have to wear your long johns in the science labs this winter. Then there are the hundreds of students who had to suffer through the

Galvan "We will be involved in any way possible," said Pat Thompson, Assistant Managing Editor/Development for the Mercury News. Galvan was born in Fresno and during her teenage years lived in Clovis, Lodi, Stockton and Rialto and Wheaton, lll. She became interested in journalism while attending Topeka West High School in Kansas, by working on the school's newspaper. Galvan was on the staff of The Times and was the editor-in-chief for two semesters. During that time the paper won statewide general excellence awards. Galvan was known for her skill in managing the paper despite the heavy load of other things going on in her life. "She was one of the hardest working students I've known. She
was editor of The Times, stayed in the Honors program and was self supporting," said journalism instructor and Times advisor Art Carey. Galvan became the measure of what good editors should be. "I only met her for a few minutes, but her reputation for being an editor was so great that she set the guidelines of what an editor should be," said Jon Perez, spring '96 Times editor. Galvan later went on to join the staff of the San Jo~ Spartan Daily and at the same time, work as an intern for the Mercury News. "She was very giving. She was always busy and had ten million things to do, but she bad time to help other people," said Kamilah Boone, who worked with Galvan on the Spartan Daily. Sarah Lombardo, who was Galvan's editor at the Spartan Daily, agrees. "Julie was everything I wanted to be as a reporter, and everything I could have asked for as a friend," said Lombardo. At the timeofherdeath, Galvan was on her way to Washington D.C. to work as an intern at the Washington Post. She put a lot of work into whatever she was doing, whether it was working on The Times, or
doing an internship at a like the Mercury News. "Julie bad a lot of respect student journalism. The Times the Spartan Daily were just as portant to her as her and Washington Post said Margaret Bethel, Times editor. Galvan won many and awards for herjournalism including the Mercury Ne Rosenthal-O'Brien Scholarship, scholarship from the Publishers Association and one the first Herb Caen Scholarships. , She also served as president the SJSU chapter of the Society Professional Journalists. "She radiated energy for job. I was always impressed by energy and enthusiasm," Angelo Figueroa, columnist for Mercury News. That energy and enthusiasm contagious to anyone who came in contact with Galvan. "She was inspirational," Kirsten Smith, Spring '95 editor. "Being around her just you want to succeed more. seemed to have an endless flow energy and she was a beautiful person. I'll always remember as an inspiration, a teacher and friend," said Smith.
