President, vice-pre-ident resign from ASC Sonya Wormington

Editor-in-Chief In an unexpected and ne arl y unprecedented move Wednesday, the pres ident and vice-pres ide nt of the s Associated Student Counc il resig ned, • leaving the ASC with no elec ted officers.

11 Jaimi Jehle, former ASC preside nt, e announced her resignation at the ASC meeting Wednesday after announcing that the Vice-Presiden t., Andrea 8 uob, had tumed in her res ignation Tuesday.

Jehle, who is dropping all her classes along with the presidency, felt that she was attempting to do too much this semester and that her personal health and sani ty were more important than the presidency.

Buob, like Jehle, cited personal reasons for leaving, saying that "I have to live my life the way it's best for me."

Buobsaid that she will slill be involved in the Council, just not as the vice-president and that she had taken care of all the necessary details before she left, so that the Council

could still run fairly efficiently.

Jehle is also concerned about the council running smoothly, saying that "I don't want the whole thing to fall apart."

She also felt that it was better to resign at the beginning of the semester, so that there was time for someone else to replace her.

Howe ve r, Jud y Rookstoo l, th e AS Adviser, was not nearly as worr ie d abo ut the Council than e it he r officer was.

"I was very proud of Jehle th e way th e Co uncil handl ed a pote ntia ll y di fficult situation, following Parliamentary procedure. We' re looking forward to a special election as soon as we can get one that follows the proper process," she said.

After the res ignations, the Council no longer has any elected officers. The· two remaining officers were both appointed after the positions were not filled in the election.

Immediately upon Jehle' s res ignation,

she appointed Amber Purvis, Director of Activities, as the pro-tem until the end of the meeting, meaning she would conduct the meeting as the president.

However, the Council faced the task of what to do when the mee ting was overshould they appoint someone president or hold a special elec tion to fill the positions?

"The Constit ut ion is si le nt on ma tt ers of success ion," sa id Rookstool, although she recom mended a special e lection to fill th e Buob positions.

Aft er a great deal of di scussion regarding the elections, a motion was passed to appoint an acting chairperson to run the mee tings until a special election can be held.

Five people were nominated for tlle acting chair position, including Gabriel 0 . Esparza, KJCCDJ; Pw·vis; Lauren Wood, CalSACC represe ntative and Reg ina Patterson, a student at City College.

Three of the five declined the appointment and after Marie Chatterton, form er AS president, was nominated, the fourth withdrew her name.

Chatterton was approved as acting chair, al lowing the Council to run smoothly until the special election occurs.

"I didn ' t expect this to happen," said Chatterton, who said that she just came to support the Council, " ... butl'm pleased that I can help them until they ge t this fi nalized."

Others are just as shocked as she is.

Esparza, another fo1mer AS preside nt, said tllal "It's real ly overwhelm ing. I don' t think anything' s bee n this shocking to me si nce I (u nexpec tedl y) took the pres idency."

"I wa-.n' t prepared to hear what I heard today," he said.

As the Council tries to replace the officers, Dr. Chui Tsang, president of San Jose Cit y Coll ege, stresses the need for stu de nt government.

"S tudent Council is a good opportunity for students, providing them with a great learning opportunity."

Welcome Day fails to pique student interest in clubs Sonya Wormington

Editor-in-Chief From KJCC radio to La Raza and the bookstore, alm os t twenty different school groups hosted Welcome Day on Sept.

5 in an attempt to pique student interest in school activities.

Welcome Day made it easy for students to find out more about the clubs and groups accessible on campus, with cl ub members and staff available to answer questions and encourage

participation.

The Associated Student Council provided free popcorn and held drawing s for gift certificates provided by nine vendors, including Fresh Choice, Taco Bell, Jamba Juice and the Cosmetology department at SJCC. The drawings were open to any student with an Associated Student Body card, which were available for sale at the AS booth. With the availability of ASD cards and the drawings, a tO!al of 22 students signed up for new ASB cards and

A great deal of information was handed out., with brochures and leaflets containing everything from answers about HIV and blood pressure to information regarding the different programs on campus.

Although the many people who helped put Welcome Day together thought it a success, many students felt it was a let-down .

Attendance was lower than expected, with not many students present, according to Amber Purvy, Director of Activities for the ASC. ''There's nota whol e lotofclubs

happening on campus. I'm very disappointed," said Darlene Amidon, an anthropology major.

By far, the most popular booths seemed to be KJCC and Pride Alliance, both of which were passing out items that interested the students.

Chui Tsang, Ci ty College president., was optimistic about how Welcome Day affected students.

"It can promote campus activitie s and get stud ent s interes ted," he said.

E. coli gets past regulations again

I

n recent weeks, the safety of the food that we eat has again become a high profile news topic.

The cause for alarm is escherichia coli gastroenteritis bacteria contamination.

Many Burger King restaurants were forced to cease sales of hamburgers due to tainted meat from their distributor, Hudson Foods in Nebraska.

Locally, three year old Nathan Mille r was hospitalized when h e became ill o n August 16. He was diagnosed with E. coli , a nd has required kidney dialysis.

Mill er had eaten a burger from a local fast food restaurant the prev io us day.

However, no other cases have heen re ported in the area to link the infection to the restaurant.

Prevention of such infections was touted after the previous E. coli outb reaks involving Jack-in-the-Box and Odwalla juice.

The public was informed tilat preventive measures would be taken to preven t further outbreaks or co ntaminants that cause illness and even death.

Jean Bu zby, University of Ke ntucky research specia li st says "The Council for Agricultural science and T ech nology (CAST) estimates that microbial pathogens in food cause 6.5 million to 33 million human-illness cases and up to 9,(Xl0 deaths each year in the United States."

The American Meat Insti tute indicates that improper meat handling causes 97% of all food -borne illnesses.

1l1e frustration caused hy these ngures is that these cases are largely needless .

1l1e preventive measures previou s ly mentioned s hould eliminate these occurrences.

The tainted meat from Hudson Foods was

caused hy mixing day old m eat in with the next day's production.

The meat processing plants are not isolating the meat during operation procedures and are introducing contaminants.

After the Jack-in-the-Box E. coli outbreak, warnings were widely publicized that all gro und beef should be cooked at a temperature of 160 degrees until the juice runs clear to e nsure elimination of bacterial infection.

It is evident hy recent cases linked to the Burger King restaurant chain, that these guidelines are not be ing adhered to.

Clearly, the federal regulations are not monitoring the production and pre p aratio n of the peri s hable prod uct closely e nough .

The USDA today performs the same visual inspection method that was impl emented in

I 90o.

Thi s " poke a nd sniff' me thod is insufficient, as it can o nly detect visible sig ns of disease and rotting. It can not detect microscopi c co nt aminants.

Furthermore, perish able goods are rushed to consumers before adequate inspection results are available.

Product recalls, such as in the Hudson Foods case, are not e nough . The food had already found its way into many restaurants and homes.

President Clinton's administration has brought a hill hef()re Congress requesting $43 million for increase in inspection starting and poisoning prevention research. h is important that we, as consumers and voters, impress upon our Senators and Representatives the importance of the passing of thi s hill.

Party politics and budget management canno t interfere with our national health and safet v.

New law may hurt drivers ~ Tim Harden Special to The Times Califomia has recently made it a law that a licensed driver must have proof of insurance in order to operate a vehicle.

This means when you register your vehicle, you must show prcx)f of insurance.

If you do not have this proof, the State of California will not let you register the vehicle. This law was designed to stop those who drive around withoutinsumnceand protect those involved in accidents.

Unfortunately, U1e State of Califomia wants to take this law to the next level. The senate committee approved a bill written

by Assemblyman Ted Lempert, which requires the auto insurers to send electronic proof of the policyholders coverage to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

TI1is new proposal would be expensive-around $18 million to $20 million annually at the CalifomiaDMV and unknown cost for insurance companies to re configure their computers to mesh with the California DMV' s computer system.

This is where the trouble stat1 1 for the automobile driver. ~ Under U1is new law, U1e insu ~F ance company would have to se1 ~ a customers vehicle identificatic ~ number to U1e Califomia DM F ~ wiU1in 30 days of the purchase F U1e policy; the DMV would thl ; match it to their records and sho ~ proof of insurance for U1at drive ~ Matching 17-digit vehic 1 s identification numbers with alp F and nwneric characters is a difl cult and cumbersome process.

The passing of numbers t tween theinsw·ru1cecompaniesa the DMV means trouble for t Califomia driver.

According to U1e DMV, th ba are looking at a 30 percent en :Sa rate. 1l1is means that 7 or 8 milli At drivers will be affectell .

Basically, U1is new prograitvf will misidentify millions of reg. tmnts as uninsured . The motonse: will be driving ~u·ound with a fa! fl\ sense of security.

This new law, proposed W( Lempert, is goin g to create m~ Be confusion between the insuran compru1ies ru1ll the DMV . ag The unfortu nate th ing is 0 be fornia motorist ru·e the ones \\ . jga will suffer.

When strolling Ummgh the San Jose City campus to my next ciR-;s, I did a no-no, unfortunately I Ieru11ed the hru·d way.

I took a deep breath ~md inhal ed what I U10ught would be at leR-;t cleru1 air. Instead my senses were struck with the overwhelming stench of cigru·ette smoke.

To all smokers out there, could you be a little more considerate of the people who wrullto keep U1eir lungs pink ?

Smoking is a bad habit, ruH.l the only way I see to quit a ball habit is to help out.

That is why I propose two ideas, for the people who love to light up and for the people who have to deal wiU1 the smoke.

TI10se two ideas ru·e to make the campus a smoke free environment or create smoking meas.

For my lirst choice runong the two choices is to ban smoking from the campus.

High schools do no t permit smoking on crunpus . I know more adults anll a wille range of ages attend U1e c!R~ses at City College

I<

( than at a high school.

However, if you think about · there ru·e m~my people who want t quit smoking but do not have t~ ]( incentive. n Creating a smoke free envirot C ment would only encourage peo~ to qmt so they can continue the h ellucation. t1 I think high school uoes ll' p permit smokin g is to insure that, it their stuuents are given a healtr C kino of ellu cation. I U1ink Ci H College shoullluo the same.

My second alternative illea i~ sl create smokin g areas, I ike what i 1 usell to he li ke in restaurant ~ "Would you care for smoki ng o p s: non smoking"~" We will not can-y it that farwi c the questions, hut people wh ~ would like to smoke could on puff away in designatell areas. o This idea wou llllimitthespre, T of cigarette smoke to oU1er peopl s: Smoking aJTects all of u ~. n d e just Uw smokers.

I think U1a1 if City College w' h to become a smoke free enviro ~ ment , air would certainly smell lot cleaner anll the campus wou tt hold a 1_nuch healthier reputalit C than any oUJCr college campus. ""
