Enrolling at San Jore City College and developing an educational plan can be a somewhat cumbersome process. Many students are unsure of the procedure and process that will help them devise the best, most rewarding plan to meet their academic and career goals. It is important to make the educational !Jocess andrequirementsasclearas possible 10 students, faculty and staff. The 1997 Matriculation Report, undertaken by the Matriculation Site Visil Team, is an attempt to do this very thing, by helping 10 clearly defme, evaluate and improve City College's procedures for helping students create a beneficial scholastic plan. Matriculation is basically composed of eight steps (see graphic.)
After careful review, the team concluded that the main areas of concern include prerequisites, corequisites and advisories, City College's exemption policy, and the coordi-

At City College, our computers don't byte Dear Editor:
Editorial
Stay away from high-tech A
pair of competing plans to bring more computers into California's public school classrooms is being hotly debated in Sacramento. While no one can argue the merits of putting computers into the hands of every student, both proposals vary in scope and cost, and one may even jeopardize existing educational programs. Of the two plans, "Connect, Compute and Compete" is being proposed by the task force appointed by Delaine Eastin, California Superintendent of Public Instruction. This plan is the most ambitious of the current proposals and has a price tag to match. Eastin's plan to provide six computers in every California public classroom from elementary through high school has an estimated cost of $6.7 billion over four years. A state sales tax increase and schooltechnology bonds have been suggested to finance the plan. The alternative proposal by California's Governor Pete Wilson, labeled "Digital High," would provide a computer for every four public high school students. Half of the $1 billion price tag would be financed by state funds; the remaining half through techno!ogy equipment or monetary contributions

from non-state sources. However, according to Wilson's education secretary, Marian Bergeson, some of the state funding could come from established programs, including bilingual education. This comes on the heels of Gov. Wilson's rallies against affirmative action and benefits to illegal immigrants. With the successful passage of measures 209 and 189, cuts to bilingual education are apparently next on his chopping block. Already, California's schools' basic programs (English, reading, math and science), have suffered severe cut-backs in funding and are reflected in recent student test score results. All non-fundamental "extras," such as art and music programs, have withered or have been eliminated altogether. Making computer technology available to students at the expense of the "basics," is useless. The need for replacements of old, outdated textbooks and updating school facilities far outweighs that of computers and should come first. Without having grasped primary knowledge first, students are not prepared for the high-tech world. Depriving one program to finance another offers no solutions. Current problems will only take on a different form.

Editors are not capable of writing competent articles Dear Editors: I was really appalled at the article that appeared in The Times about Black History Month. It was obvious from the article that the editorial staffdid not attend any events. As a member of the committee, I personally know that we spent many hours away from our jobs on campus, planning these functions . These were hours that should have been our lunch. So when the editors say that there was poor planning, then they

I am a politically and academically active student on this campus. I have held office in the Associated Student Council since Spring of '96 and have participated in many committees. I am more tenacious than the average student. I take my studies seriously and expect my education to be the top priority of this college. That's why I'm baffled and angry at the disgraceful deficit of adequate technology at San Jose City College. The first focus of my complaint is the Language Lab in the GE building. I have attempted three times to complete an assignment for Senora Esparza's Spanish IA class using an audio tape, tape player and headphones. The quality of the tape is too poor to effectively learn from, the antiquated player hisses with background noise, and the headphones must be held in place with your hands because the adjustment mechanism is worn out. The computers seem to be working today, but last week I tried three of them before giving up for the day.I understand there is only one set of software left for the Apple II computer. Apple II?!? These have no place in a modern institution. This lab needs to be overhauled NOW! According to Chris Brown,

Dear Editor. In the March 20issueof The Tunes an ~de published oo Black Histay Month Celebrntion. It was pinted as an editaial. This simply Im~DS that it was pin ted by the (Editorial) BOARD of the City College Tunes. ThisboordoftheCityCollege Tnnesdecided without cootacting any coounittee member or aldressing students who attended the events to write a ridiculous editaial entitled "Black Histay a M.isnaner." Talk about out of touch with reality. Hello! Did you oranymemberoff your board attend the events? Ifyou bad, you would have realized that all scheduled events bad excellent attendance; most had standing room only. Where did you get your inf<mlation? I know focafactthatyoudidnottalktome, tbecommittee chairperson, oc any other canmittee member. I would go on to say that you did not talk to any number of students oc farulty that attended the events. If you bad, you would not have publisbed an article so full of false statements and backlasbing -an obvious attempt to discredit a ~itive experience and celebration for the students at San lost City College and the public at large. ~
The Black Experience in the 21st Century pmel ~so well attended that we had secood thoughts that it sbould have been held in the theater. The(Ja;pelExtmvaganza, whicbwasheldat Bethel Owrcb, had over 1,700 people in attendance. We raised over $3,200 foc student scbolarsbips and the reviews were extremely canplimentary -frroleveryonei talked to-and I talked to hundreds ofpeople in person and on the}ilone weeks afterward. Did you or your board recognize the histaical impact of g~pel music? I think not! The coounent about the poor planning of events really made me wonder about your credibility as editors. Do you realize the hours that were put in - tmplid boors, I might add to create a month full of celebrntion activities that were interesting, well-attended, thought provoking, bistaical, and refreshing. If these events were not something that your boonlwantedtoseeorpartici~in.yougaveup
therighttoselecttheevents by failing to respond to the call that was made to the tmdividedcampus community during the fall semester. Our rommittee urged any interested individuals to come out and help in the planning of activities. You
chose not to attend these planning sessions and now have the audacity to canplain about or belittle our efforts. Again, you need a reality check! If you think you can provide a better histocicalBiackHistay Month Celebration, then do it Get involved, but do not romplain about this ):liSt month of celebratioo. It should have received an "Oscar' oc a "HY' because it was a wonderful month of celclxation. Let me refresh your memory on sane of the other activities that occurred during February. The month started with music at mid-day from the 50's and 60's to the 90's. Every coocert was well-attended. 1beconcerts werebeldevery Wednesday at 12:00 pm. in the Music Room, with the exception of the first concert, which was held in the student quad. The music rovered an array of music from different times in bistcKy. There was a video presentation of the Life of Madame CJ. Walker (history) and how she occumulated her f<Xtune. This was held in the rommunity room (standing room only). This event was followed by a short verbal presentation and demonstration of various equipment used by Madame CJ. Walker. The audience was in full participation and thanked our rom-
mittee foc such a histOOcal walk through BllQ Histay. There w~an artist's~ anddisplayct egg tempera l¥t by Mr. Jimi Claybrooks llrt received exceptional reviews and ~ wen. attended during the day and evening. A age number ofstudentscoounent.ed thatit~~ci the best exhibits on ilisplay in the Art Galla-y. It is amazing that your staff would }lint lll editaial full of tmtrutm with the ~ 10 denigrate something as wonderful as Bia:t History Month Celebrntion. You should be ashamed to call yourselve.~ editors because you forgot the ABC's of goo! journalism. FACfS,FACfS,FACTS! Thefa:t is that you blew it By trying to belittlesanething as worthwhile and enlightening as "Black Jiis. tory Month Celebration," you calledattentionro the fact that your Board needs a reality dwx.k.

Times didn't do research Dear Editor: I am utterly shocked that The TllrleS editorial (p.2, 3f2f)l97) accused the Black history month ronunittee of ronfusing "history" with "art." Art reveals the soul of a culture. Through the arts, we identify a rollective sense of "self," vicariously identifying with and taking pride in the occomplishments of the virtuoso. The art of a culture reflects its attinxles and lifestyles and serves as a non-verbal document which is rommonly called Tradition. The arts are a product of a historical rontinuwn, each style evolving out of the one J:revious. For example, Gosr.el music is a descendant of a long line of music which dates to the time of slavery in this rountry. Therefore, when one examines the rontem{Xlrary state of an art, one is automatically {Xlt in a position to place it in historical context African American artist are significantlyabsentfrom the annals ofArt History before the Harlem Renaissance. This conspiracy of exclusion promoted the illusion that Blacks did not make visual art which could be held to standards defmed by Western culture. Becauseofthis, contemporary African American artist feel an enonnous responsibility to not only demonstrat'! skill, but to use their art as a didactic tool to nourish a culture searching for identity.Many of the pieces in the Jimi Claybrooks exhibit at San Jose City College gallery used historical subjects.

The first thing that the editorial staff should be aware of is that the month of February is designated "Black History Month," not "Black History." Hopefully, the incorrect title does not reflect·an unconscious or conscious desire to see Black History itself eliminated from the educational curriculum of this school or of other institutions of higher education in the United States. Second, the editorial staff cited that"maybe ... college students ... were qualified to visit a library if they were interested in Black History." It was for this reason that the Black History Month Planning Committee chose casual activities rather than to conduct lectures or classes on Black History. The celebration was intended to generate interest among SJCC students in the many contributions of African-Americans, both past and present. In this way students could- on their own- follow-their own paths of interest, whether this would lead them to learn more about the contributions of Black artists and writers, or Black scientists and engineers. The library has many books on these subjects, and for Black History Month a collection was set-asideon a rack for students who were interested. Third, one of the main reasons for the institution ofBlackHistory Month is the fact that the contributions of African-Americans have
high school and college hisi.Ol)' textbooks. This bas made it easy ·•· for both whites and minOrities to believe that African-Americans have not done anything of note and thereby conclude tbatMrican· Americans cannot now or in the future contribute anything ofnote. Fourth, nootherminority group was forcibly brought to this coun· try as permanent slaves - family units NOT intact. To this day, African-Americans still experi· ence deep-seated discriminaf.CJ'y practices and prejudice by other Americans. In many instances this prejudice is fueled by a pre· conceived notion that African· Americans are unable to fully participate and contribute to American society. Awareness of the real history of African· Americans could greatly alleviate this problem. Themessageof'Black HistaY Month' was there for anyone who chose to see. However, since the Black History Month Planning Committee chose not to 'beat stu· dentsoverthehead' with themes· sage and the meaning of 'Biaci History Month,' it could be easily overlooked or ignored by thoSe who chose not to see. As for the statement tbatAsiao students or any other minority students have hurt feelings over not having a month of celebratiOO of their own, I submit that this is just one more example of yr.# inaccuracy throughout your editorial. In fact, I have learned tbatMaY is Asian/Pacific Islander Month. June is Gay Pride Month, September is Latin-American Hen· tage Month, and November is Native American Heritage Month. Therefore, I say again and seriously suggest that the editorial staff do their research and under· stand their subject before takin. pen .to paper (or bitting tbell' computer keyboard). Victoria E.

New looks made at on-campus beauty salon What do the many people who are not enrolled at San Jose City College do on campus? The answer is easy. Many of them are clients who have appointments at the Cosmetology Department, room V 11, to get their hair cut, set and colored. Others also have their nails done or their skin cleansed. Second semester Cosmetology students begin their careers pleasing their first customers on campus. First semester students practice and develop their artistic skills on mannequins. Hand agility is a prerequisite.

One devil of a webpage by Trevor Bryden Assistant Editor
I'll say this once. If you're one of those, "save my children, censor the Internet," types, read no further. "Now Meet Satan," is most emphatically not for you. For those of us who have some experience in the world of punk music, a morbid fascination with those who enjoy speed and heroin, loved the movie "Sid and Nancy," or want some good laughs and hedonistic insight, Carol Steele's website, "Now Meet Satan," is good for hours of ente.rtainment. After a speedy download, the home page itselfis impressive. The hyper-offensive opening flag, "Breakin' s**t for Jesus since 1995," is an appropriate tastefulness barometer. If you can handle that, you are in for a lot of fun. Click on the "What?" icon for Carol Steele's background information. In short, she is a 27-yearold punk bassist for the bands "Not my Son" and ''Naugahyde" who enjoys drugs, drinking and sharing related experiences. On the left side of the screen, under the "What?" icon, are the four available issues. Though the fust issue is mainly unavailable text, and the second issue bas only a few accessible stories, the magazine is a polished production by Issue 4. The stories themselves also gain polish as the magazine progresses. By the latest issue, the writer$ are more diverse (rather than Steele alone) and they are very well written. As a website, the layout and design of ''Now Meet Satan". are superior, and the writing is grammatically and structurally correct. This is more than in 90% of the
websites, especially those not produced by huge corporations. Moreover, "Now Meet Satan" is not what it says it is. The attitude of the site was not directly antiChristian, although the exploits of Steele and her buddies are not "moral majority" material. The site had a few downsides. Her bands are often discussed, but sound clips were unavailable. When I clicked on the "Meet Reverend Cheezus" link, I got a fairly boring wall of flames that said, " ...Let Reverend Cheezus design your website." The user can get stuck, since there was no link back to the website and the computer inevitably froze. Although this site pretends to beat odds with Christ, Steele rants against hippies at least twenty times as often. Shock value is all she apparently was after with the "Now Meet Satan" bit. Other words of warning. The site was designed by a guy named Reverend Cheezus, the text contains swearing and semi-explicit drug abuse. Steele is abrasive, rude, and unconcerned with society's conventions. Consequently, her website is a lot of fun.

A movie with a NC-17 rating
and it is not playing at the infamous Burbank Theater. "Crash," a movie about car crashes and sex, with characters in the movie sometimes combining the two at the same time, bas the dreaded NC-17 rating. It is playing at a mainstream theater, too. As a typical guy, I went to go see it because of the harsh rating hoping to get a glimpse of a sex scene or a senseless act of violence. Disappoinunent. I was expecting blood everywhere. Braveheart, an R-rated movie, bad more bloody scenes. I was expecting sex everywhere.
This is where the movie came through. Men and women,
women and women, and even two men having sex. Every other scene
bad sensual illusions that hint cl some pretty good sex happenin~ but no explicit sex. I can watch Cinemax 11 cable television and get a glimpse of more flesh tllal "Crash" had. What is the purpose of NC-17 rating when the mov· bas about the same sex violence as an R-rated movie! My point to all this is~ movie board should be moo lenient in the ratings they gilt movies. A movie with an NC·I rating really limits what tbe· aters will carry it and m01i watchers could miss out on afascinating experience.

Coach Doug Robb can only scratch his head. His Jaguar baseball team (1221) is on track to miss the playoffs for the third straight season, despite -stellar performances in individual categories through all three years. In '95 and '96, the Jaguars fashioned a murderer's row, hit in the .320's and launched a lion's share of baseballs into orbit but were unable to fmish better than 24-18. This year's Jags tried attacking from a different angle. Their pitching staffs ERA is an exceptional 3.68, which places them in the top four in their conference. Led by sophomore Scott Rogers, who is only 3-3 despite an impressive 2.24 ERA, the pitching staff has certainly turned around compared to last year. In 1996, the Jags' ERA was "about six," according to Robb. "If I had last year's hitting and
defense, with this year's pitching ... ," his voice trails off as he fantasizes about a 3.68 ERA paired with last year's .330ish batting average and 50-plus home runs. Unfortunately for the Jags, their ~1-Americahitting farm has been harvested. The Jaguar offense has fallen off dramatically, though at .293
through Sunday they have nothing to be ashamed of. They are led by first base man Kyle Crookes, who is hitting .327 with a teamleading 21 REI's and Catcher Rudy Deanda, who is hitting .366 and leads the Jags on the field. The mostly-freshmen lineup has been hitting the ball reasonably well. The main problem, according to Robb, has been inadequate defense. He couldn't elaborate, as the Jags don't keep fielding statistics besides "runners caught/at-
tempts" for the catchers. Incidentally, Deanda's 61% success rate at throwing out base stealers is phenomenal; indeed, according to Robb, he may be the best catcher in the conference. With 11 games remaining, the Jags' playoff hopes are virtually eliminated. At the moment they are playing for pride, and doing a fme job in their quest to be 'King of the Valley' and dominate local teams. In their rivalries with Mission, West Valley, and De Anza Colleges, the Jags have a chance to win season series against all three. There is always the rallying cry, "wait 'til next year." For Robb and the Jaguars, this is not a hollow promise. Their lineup and pitching staff are, for a large part, freshmen making freshman mistakes. Next year should be much, much different. Besides, says Robb jokingly, "(coaching legend) John Wooden didn't start winning until he was fifty-five."
