Pamphlet-carrying zealots make student late for class Joseph Urzua Staff Writer

Editorial

The media has gone too far

T

he American public is tired of main stream media's hunt for the next Watergate scandal. They have dragged it out too long and we want it to end.

For the last eight months the country has been subjected to the spectacle of young reporters looking for the story-of-a-life-time in the ashes of a cigar, and older reporters trying to recapture their glory days with a stained dress.

Stop the madness!

Over the last six years the American public has paid approximately $50 million for Kenneth Starr to find dirt on Clinton.

Starr could have found dirt on Mother Theresa with that kind of money to play with.

The Monica Lewinsky scandal originated from the Watergate S&L investigation that Kenneth star began in 1992. It was $10,000 land deal that the Clinton's went into in 1978.

Even with all of the money spent on it the Starr investigation could not find any proof that the Clintons had behaved in an illegal matter.

Starr persevered though, like the trouper that he is. With hard work, a back stabbing 'friend' and a tape recorder he bagged his fox.

Eight months ago, j ust before the Lewinsky ·candal came out Starr must have been sweatI g, then he hit on it! He found the perfect area to loo k into, Clinton's sex life!

He was bound to come up with something.

Almost every president except maybe Jimmy Carter had affairs while in the white house.

That is when he latched on to Paula Jones · k ' w hi c h led t o Lewms y. "' all kn ha h ed fr the Eigh ne oww t appen . om re. t months of a media orgy that mcluded sexual details that could make a madam blush.

The media has gone too far when we have respected television journalists reporting on semen stains in the same way that the tabloid media does.

We are tired of it.

We don't want to know about how the president of the United States defines sex.

We don't want to know any other uses for a cigar, or if the presidential member is bent, or even that the president is a sexual being at all.

The funny thing is that this barrage of negative media attention is having a positive effect on the president's approval rating.

The media and Starr miscalculated horribly when they went after Clinton in such a viscous manner.

Americans love the underdog. We love the man who no matter how many times he goes down, no pun intended, will always pull himself bac k up and keep fighting.

After all America was founded by underdogs.

A world without music Salvador Gaeta Graphics/Production There just doesn't seem to be enough people interested in pursuing a musical career anymore.

The music departement at San Jose City College has undergone a major decline in its staff within the last five years.

Back in 1993, when I first began my college education, I was a full-fledge, mo tivated music major. The multi-music staff kept the students interested in the freedom of ideas that music has to offer.

Attendance was high , as students filled their choices of instrument and theory classes.

There was even a City College orchestra and I was forunate enough to watch it perfo rm flawlessly.

Now, afte r five years I'm returning to fmish my education and r m upset with what has happened to the music program.

The staff consists of only three teachers, my guitar teacher Mr. Behroozi being one of them.

The number of music programs offered is at less then half and I wouldn't be surprised if within two years the whole music program will have completly vanished.

A similar thing happened to me in High School as well.

After my sophmore year, the music program was completly cut off from the school due to the lack of interest shown by the students .

I am now majoring in English, with a minor in music.

For those of you who don't know music, wake up and realize the freedo m th a t you are depriving yourself of.

Don' t be afraid to trip with all of life's beauty.

It really saddens me when I think of a world headed in a direction that has no interest in all the arts.

SPEAKOUT SIPJEAKOU1r Do you think that President Clinton should resign?

Gavin Yap Theater Arts

Sarah Apodaca Undecided

"No, the scandal has nothing to do with him running the country. "

"Yes, he should resign. It would be the most honorable thing to do.

1 w bu•per sticker: Hank and vau're dead Chris Reyes Special to The 1imes It's 5 p.m. on a Friday and your work day is done. You head out of the office and get into your

car.

Now you're driving home, listening to the radio and thinking about plans you've made for the weekend. You're feeling good.

All of a sudden you slam on your brakes.

Out of nowhere, a car cuts right in front of you to make a tum about five feet before the exit sign.

Now your weekend is blown.

You blare youc hom, yell out a few obscenities and maybe even offer a not-so-friendly hand ges-

ture.

Sound familiar?

It's an example of what's being termed as "road rage" even if it's a mild example.

Road rage is nothing new, but it seems to be escalating to new heights.

People are being seriously injured and even killed as the result of tempers flaring in the heat of the moment.

Road rage has become such an issue lately, a number of books have been written on the subject and therapy sessions have been created to help with the problem.

I must admit, I've done my share of homhonking and maybe when I was a teenager I might made a couple of hand gestures, but I've always managed to keep my grumbling under my breath.

I've most certainly never been crazy enough to challenge anyone to get out of their car.

As an experienced driver, I do believe I know the simple answer to this difficult problem.

With every situation in life, there are always two sides to the coin, cause and effect We already know the effect as road rage, but what causes road rage?

Very simply put, discourteous driving.

Think about it.

How many times have you gotten mad at someone for being a good driver? Not too often, if at all.

Maybe you're the bad driver! You're the one who speed up on the freeway because someone was going to get into your lane.

They flip on their blinker to let you know they're going to get in front of you.

How dare they!

After all, it's your lane, your freeway.

But when it comes down to it, arguing with someone over "who's lane it was" is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog.

All right, so maybe it's not the solution to the whole problem, but it would definitely be a start I watched a story on a television show called "Unsolved Mysteries." The story was about two men who became so outraged at another person's bad driving, that they fired a gun into the car.

The bullet missed the driver and his wife, but tragically it killed their toddler son.

He didn't do.anything wrong.

Other Campuses: No need for designer genes A recently discovered method for sorting sperm that will enable Parents to choose their baby's sex should raise questions of our fundimental regard for human life and the way we view gender.

According to a Sept 9 article in The New York 1imes, "the Genetics & IVF Institute in Fairfax, VA, has developed a method for SOrting by the amount of DNA they COntain and then using them for artificial insemination" "Sperm with the Y chromoSOme has about 2.8 percent less genetic material," according to the article.

The outcome of this experi~nce has nothing to do with givtng birth to a healthy baby.

It has everything to do with

choosing the sex of one's offspring. Unlike other gender selection methods, this technology has an 85 to 95 percent success rate.

Dr. Joseph Schulmen, director of the Genetics & IVF Institute, said that couples who carried genes for genetic diseases that exclusively afflict boys (e.g. hemophilia) were interested in pre-determining the gender of their child.

In the general population, this is a problem that affects only 10 percent of couples.

While these prospective parents might not want to give birth to a child at considerable risk for genetic disease, they constitute too tiny a minority to warrant the research, time and money that went into this new technology.

Schulman said that the majority of the couples participated in the experiment because they wanted a technology that would enable them to choose the sex of their baby for "family balancing."

We should not be comfortable with such a reason.

When this new gender selection technology is introduced to the greater society (and it will be), we will foster tired sterotypes of gender in new and frightening ways .

We should not develop new technologies so that we can have designer children and focus on creating a society that does not emphasize on gender.

Between studying for midterms and going to work, San Jose City College students manage to fit in a bit of fitness into their daily routines. Students have a variety of options to choose from to get their cardiovascular system going. They can jog on down to the Fitness Center to ride a bike, lift some weights, or join a dance class.

So kick up those legs, lift up those arms, and put a smile on your face because you know your body will thank you after the pain stops.

While exercising Dominico Russo strikes up a conversation with Doug Lepiane.

'Hurlyburly' provides sex, drugs, decadence BrianCahn Staff Writer

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan are caught by Surprise in New Line Cinema's 'Rush Hour.'

'Rush Hour' is a mild ride East and West prevail Joseph Urzua Entertainment Editor · Don't be afraid to get caught in "Rush Hour."

"Rush Hour," an actionpacked comedy directed by Brett Ratner, teams up Jackie Chan ("Rumble in the Bronx") with Chris Tucker ("Friday," "The Fifth Element"). Also starring are Elizabeth Pena, Chris Penn, Tzi Ma and Ken Leung.

When the Chinese Consul's 11-year-old daughter gets kidnapped, who else would be called in but the FBI? But when Consul Han (Ma) wants to bring in one of his own men from Hong Kong to work on the case, who do the Feds call to keep him out of their hair? Rogue LAPD detective James Carter (Tucker), that's who.

On the verge of a suspension,

Carter jumps at the chance to work with the FBI-until he learns that his assignment is to babysit Detective Inspector Lee (Chan) and keep him away from the investigation.

Carter instead sets out on a one man crusade to solve the case while Lee repeatedly gives him the slip.

As the FBI agents try to cast off these unwanted misfits, cultures clash, tempers flare and carnage abounds before these two cops from opposite worlds join forces to save the young girl.

Tucker is a master of verbal comedy and Chan of phy sical entertainment. The two team up well and have good chemistry on screen . The dialogue is smart, funny, and well written One of the more memorable scenes involves Tucker instructing Chan on the proper way to sing

Edwin Starrs' classic"War." Although the film has a rather predictable plot, it is unique in the sensethatitdoesn't have that tired good cop, bad cop feel to it. Both Chan and Tuckers' character were the underdogs.

Not quite on par with the "Lethal Weapons" action comedy fest, this film works in its own way.

It manages to be entertaining even though the audience has 'figured out the ending two thirds into the film (the slower members of the audience that is).

Like many films, this one may have been stifled by it's advertising. Many of the better jokes in the film were shown in the previews.

The film was entertaining on many levels and had enough redeeming qualities to overshadow the lack of mystery.

This season the City College Theater won't shy away from controversy.

This is evident with the theater ' s first production, "Hurlyburly" a two-act play written by David Rabe and directed by drama instructor Donna Mendoza "Hurlyburly" is a tale of sex, drugs and decadence inwhere elseHollywood.

A cast of seven is headed by Eddie, played

by Gavin Yap, Phil (Jess Ortega), and Mickie (David Knight).

"Hurlyburly" will run for two consecutive weekends, 7:30p.m.

Oct. 30 through Nov. 7, with a special matinee at 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 8.

Tickets will be available at the door. General admission is $7; under 18 and over 65 is $4. For infonnation on group rates contact, ext. 3602.

The next production will consist of two one-act plays, "Chamber Music" and "Fun". Both are dark comedies.

Both plays have already been cast and will run Nov. 19-22.

"Chamber Music," written by

Arthur Kopit, will be directed b Mendoza "Chamber Music" is a st of a group of women who th · they are all famous women fro history trapped in a mental insti tution.

The other play, "Fun," w written by Howard Korder and di rected by sophomore Gavin Yap. "Fun" is the story of two teen age boys (Jon Chapman, Jef Franciotti) wb get into troubl while the search for drug sex and excite ment.

Free the inner 'Succulent Woman' • "Succulent: Ripe.

Juicy. Whole. Round.

Exuberant. Wild. Rich. ·Wide. Deep. Firm.

Rare. Female. " ShawnaLisk Opinion Editor If you would describe yourself, or an important woman in your life a•, "Succulent' , then you should pick-up "Succulent Wild Woman: Dancing With Your Wonder-Full Self!" by Sark.

This is a book to read when on the out's with your best friend, after a bad day or when you feel like pampering yourself.

The book is vibrant and alive with colorful text and artwork and is printed as if it where a journal with entries in both color and black and white.

The front cover's titled in puffed letters add to the charm of the book by maldng it a tactile experience as well.

Sark covers just about everything in this book. She touches on topic's ranging from sex with or without a partner, having a positive body image, self-defense and the joy of friendship with other

women.

Throughout she gives suggestions on how to free the succulent woman that resides in each of us.

Some of the suggestions are as follows; "Bathe naked by the moonlight; Eat mangos naked, lick the juice off your arms; End blaming; Tell the truth faster; Be inwardly outrageous; Paint your soul."

While it's a bit too cute at times,and a bit odd at others, the book doesn't come across as fake.

Sark said to embrace ourselves and gives us back the tool that allows us to do that ourselves.

The best part about this book as far as I am concerned is it's non-

linear. If you open to a page at random, you are likely to find a segment that both interests you and stands alone. By the time the book is finished, you feel as if you have made a new friend.

This book is deffinately a keeper. The energy in both the text and art-work scattered throughout, turns it into a book that you can re-read on a fairly regular basis.

"Succulent Wild Women" is a self help, inspirational, sexual book that delivers what it promises.

It doesn't tell you what is wrong with you, tells what is right and it try's to get the reader to open up that part of herself.

MltZf Farnsworth Staff Writer With an improved performance at the Sierra Invitational at Sierra College in Rocklin, the Women's Cross-country team is looking forward to the Lou Vasquez Invitational at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco Friday, October 2.

TheJag'shadaroughstartwiththeFresnolnvitationalSeptember 12, and fmished last However the Sierra Invitational showed a marked improvement finishing ninth out of 12, with each runner improving her time.

Anna Guardado showed the most progress, bettering her time by a minute on the three mile course at the Sierra meet.

Coach Bob Jones said it has been an adjustment for them but now that they are more self confidant and have a better idea of what is needed. Jones said he was very pleased about the progression of the team.

The Men's Cross-country team also began the year with a disappointing performance at the Fresno Invitational, placing 23rd out of 24 teams running.

"It can only get Better," Coach Steve Haas said of the team's future in the season. With the discouraging Fresno meet behind them, The Men's cross-country team managed to improve their placing at the Sierra Invitational, finishing 16th o ut of20 schools participating.

With only Freshmen competing this season it will take a while for them to improve. Coach Haas says the team's attitude is good and they are a fun group to run with, but that long distance running is difficult and takes a lot of dedication .

"They are still in the early stages of conditioning and that's always the real tough part... you struggle and make mistakes and you don't feel good and all of those things happen early in progression ...." Haas said, but with time, He expects there to be an improvement in the team performance.

This Friday, October 2, both the Men's and Women's Crosscountry teams will be participating in the Lou Vasquez Invitational at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This will also be the first conference meet of the season.

The Two Rivers Invitational that was scheduled to take place September 24 through 27 was canceled due to heavy rains the night before. ~

Terry Soolefai and Rigo Munoz scramble to take control of a Solano fumble.

Falcons take Jaguars on their own territory Allison Fine Special to The Times The Jaguar football team found out this week that it is no longer ranked among the top 20 schools in the state, according to the Junior College Athletic Bureau's Official 1998 California Community College Football Coaches Association Ratings.

The team dropped from its previous no. 16 ranking last week.

The ranking snub must have been mainly due to the 31-8 loss Saturday at the hands of West Hills College, ranked 15 at the time.

The outcame of the game was unexpected because the teams were so close together in the rankings.

The team's rushing offense was basically stopped in their tracks, only recording 24 yards on the ground as opposed to West Hills' 272.

Tbe poor offensive achievement pitted City College at the bottom

of the Golden Gate conference with an average of only 230 yards per game.

On top of the three touchdowns that the Falcons got in the frrst half, two injuries, one to running back Anthony Baker and the other to defensive back Etene Pritchard, helped to weaken the overall strength of the Jags.

JagsquarterbackMatuaMauga completed seven of 15 passes for 72 yards, with back up Jorge Nevarez, finshing the game by completing four passes, for 35 yards.

TheonlytouchdownfortheJags came on a four yard run by fullback Brian Giovacchini, followed by a two point conversion.

Despite an overall poor team performance, quarterback Matua Maugamanaged to maintain a third place seat in the central division quarterback ratings, with a 149.6 rating, 360 total yards thrown and

two touchdowns.

The loss was a stark contrast to last week's 23-13 win over Solano College.

At the frrst home game for the Jags fullback Brian Giovacchini rushed for 75 yards with a touchdown combined with Sherman Jones' 39 yards.

The backfield helped control the tempo of the game.

Quarterback Matua Mauga's touchdown passes to Larry Evans and Eric Christensen in the first half helped prove the power of the quarterback-receiver relationship.

Defensive lineman Dwight Lanes' fourth quarter sack of Solano quarterback Kenny Deering topped off a game of great defensive plays from the Jags.

With a 2-3 record, it is essential for the team to put last week's loss behind them and concentrate on the upcoming road game against Merced College on Saturday .

The bill, in its original form was intended to be a tuition freezewbere it would bold tuition at current rates but was revised to become a tuition reduction, according to Davis' press secretary.

The fee reduction is supposed to only last for two years however and Davis said, when be takes office intends to extend the pay cut for at least two more years.

"A youngster with a college degree will be a very productive citizen," Davis said. "(The Board of Regents) don't have sympathy with the extraordinary amount of debt taking to get an education."

The board of regents originally intended to raise tuition fees by 10

percent according to Davis.

Davis also addressed tbe issue of Measure IA said, "I'm very optimistic that lA will in fact pas and become law."

This has caused some concern that WIN is not doing all it could, according to Burke.

"I was not to keen (on Calworks) at first," Elledge said, recalling how sbe felt about a program with so many rules, "(But) now it's helping me towards my goals."

"We want to help every student who is available," Burkesaid. "That'swbatwe're here for."

There are stiff penalties for those on welfare participating in vocational classes. The penalties can result benefits being discontinued. However, students in the WIN program need not worry.

"The county will cover T ANF payments for two years," said Burke.

WIN is a district-wide program with offices bere at City College and at Evergreen Valley College (EVC).

"But we hope to expand," Burke added.

"Students, wbo bave used WIN are finding employment and keeping employed," Burke said.

Burke said that she hopes tbat the success can inspire the "powers that be" to expand WIN. Normally, students are referred to the WIN program by county agencies or the financial aid office here on campus.

If you think you might qualify or just want more information, the WIN office is located in the administration building (Room 501).
