Mari Matsumotoil'he Times Chancellor Geraldine Evans celebrates the passing of Measure I on Monday, Nov. 23.

SJCC to receive needed facelift . .:.

Joseph Urzua Staff Writer With the passing of Measure I and Proposition lA, it appears that San Jose City College will finally be getting a much needed (and long overdue) facelifL However, when these changes will come about is still up in the air.

A Faculty Master Plan: Project List has already been devised, determining bow funds will be divided between City Co!Jege and Evergreen Valley College.

However, a timetable for when construction will begin and what order the changes will take place is still being developed.

"The college is updating its plans for improvements to be made. Up to this poin t., t11ere was only enough funding available to put up one, possibly two new buildings." said Chuck Hunter, chairman of the facilities planning committee. "Now with Measure land Prop. 1A, there'senough to put up four, maybe live buildi ngs. This requires a major rethink of the

planning."

Approximately $75.3 million of the Measure I funds will be used towards City College and $60.5 million will be used towards Evergreen.

In addition, the $92 million from proposition 1A will also be used to upgrade the campus and facilities.

Plans are in the works for a new library/learning resource center, science and math·education com~ plex, high technology industrial center and multidisciplinary/classroom buildings ..

Funds will also be used to replace and upgrade the student services/career training program, an expansion of health care/occupation programs~ site electrical power upgrades, fu!J American Disability Act compliance, HV AC systems and campus safety upgrades.

A series of meetings will be held by the facility planning committee during December to quickly browse the current plans and to bring in a professional to begin planning the new facilities.

Holistic Fair turnout disappointment • Problems hinder success of Art's Fair Mitzi Farnsworth Staff Writer Eric A. Meece is disappointed.

The Holistic Arts Fair, which bas been Meece's brain child and fillancial burden for some time, did ~tdo as well as be bad hoped it Would.

The Holistic Arts Fair was held ov. 21-22 at San Jose City College in the College Union build-

ing.

As compared to previous Years, this year's Holistic Arts

Fair did not measure up to his expectations and aspirations. Even in previous years, the Fair bad not turned out as hoped.

There were problems hindering the fair from achieving its intended status.

First there was confusion surrounding the original name, The New Age Renaissance Fair. Many people mistook it for the Renaissance Pleasure Fair held annually in Novato. Meece said, the Renaissance Pleasure Fair was considering a move to San Jose and that would cause confusion for people.

Then there was the problem with the term "New Age." Meece changed the name of the New Age Renaissance Fair to the Holistic Arts Fair because some people felt

that the term "New Age" wasn't appealing.

He said be hoped that by changing the name, it would attract more people to the event.

Last year, under its original name, thefairbadadifficultlime attracting patrons. It was held in downtown San Jose, where parking is more expensive.

"The last year's fair was moderately successful. But in the last years, there weren't as many satisfied exhibitors, because of a lower tum out" said Meece, "So we decided to cut costs, get some more people involved and form a nonprofit organization ...

MY Turn Why I no longer coo I have a problem with cooking and the appliances in my kitchen are in revolt. I've set fire to my kitchen three times this year, twice with the help of the oven and once with the toaster.

We have called a 'repairman two times to fix the oven, but he

Editorial

Starr's witch hunt yields no demon enneth Starr has spent the last se.veral years and several millions of dollars on a witch hunt, with his primary target being none other than the President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

In the recent impeachment hearings of President Clinton, Starr hasn't proved anything other than the president had an affair, got caught and lied about it.

Mr. Starr, please tell the world something that it doesn't already know.

According to the hearing, no conclusive evidence was found linking the Clintons to the Travelgate or Filegate scandal.

In fact, Governor Jim Guy Thcker, exonerated Clinton in questions about the Madison referals, key evidance in the Whitewater investigations, in October 1993.

However, what is questionable about this hearing is Starr's conduct throughout the investigation and his report.

First of all, Starr is accused ofleaking grand jury information to the media on 24 counts.

What's Starr's response when confronted with this evidence before the committee? The matter is under litigation and he loosely implied that the media might be mistaken.

Come on Mr. Starr, you would have us believe the media is wrong on all 24 counts?

One or two counts, maybe, but all 24?

Second of all, throughout his investigation, Starr has been known to badger the prime witness, Monica Lewinksy.

In a statement about his first meeting with

K

Lewinsky, Starr said that she was handled well and it was a consentual meeting.

Lewinsky later contested this in her statement.

In her revised statement Lewinsky said that she was meeting Linda Tripp for lunch and was accosted by FBI agents. She reluctantly agreed to meet with Starr and when she asked for her attorney to be present was told it wasn't a "good idea."

Starr said in the same statement, Lewinsky was questioned for five hours in pleasant surroundings while waiting for her mother.

Instead, Lewinsky tells of her fear and crying through a 10-hour interrogation in which she was threatened with jail for 27 years.

Who are we to believe? A prosecutor bent on getting his man or a young girl who, while she isn't innocent, never wanted to go public with the affair?

To top it off, in order to find any facts on the investigation, people have to wade through a report littered with accusations.

In this report, instead of simply telling the Senate committee the facts of the case, Starr took it upon himself to interpret the evidence.

He didn't even deem it fit to mentiont Lewinsky denies that Clinton asked her to commit perjury and tried to obstruct justice until the appendix.

Mr. Starr, you've spent too much time and money beating a dead horse. It's in your best interests to drop the matter while you're still some what ahead.

Cat tails from the city Brian Cahn Staff Writer My pet, Nerys, is mentally unstable. She can't seem to figure out whether she is a dog or a cat, but I think she is a cat.

What leads me to the conclusion that Nerys is suffering split personalities? The first clue is the fact that she drinks from the toilet. Other cats are more than happy to drink from the water dishes their owners leave out for them, but oh no, not Nerys. She jmnps up to the edge of the seat, crouches down and laps her tongue as if she had discovered a spring well.

This does provide two services to me: it convinced me that if she'd rather drink toilet water than San Jose tap water I'd better buy bottled, and it forces me to always remember to put the seat down after going to the bathroom.

The second reason Nerys has convinced me that she is p~ychotic

is the fact that she chases her constantly. This has provided of amusement for me, watching try to catch up with her tail as rushes away from her · teeth.

'llleJaguarsendedaseason that much hope by losing its last

two in the nation.

The Jags had a chance, slim as might be, to pull a major upset it was learned that I1 San players, including three

Thursday, November 25, 1998

starters, were not playing due to a mandatory suspension resulting from a post game fight with Chapot last week.

Although San Francisco's offense produced 504total yards, the Jag defense was able to make big plays in clutch situations to prevent the big score, thus holding SF to 12 first quarter points.

The offense on the other hand, could not get any real game going in the first half and failed to convert on key downs.

"We (the offense) have had better passing games," said Sherman Jones, who rushed for

122 yards, referring to the anemic passing performance.

Nevarez and Mauga combined for 29 pass attempts and I 0 completions for I32 yards, I touchdown and one interception in the entire game.

Jones' 122 yards was nearly 50 percent of the team's total offense of 260 yards.

In the third quarter, Mauga found Devon Dyer for a ten-yard touchdown; the team's only score to make it a I2-7 game.

The defense was able to hold San Francisco to a field goal so that the game would remain in

reach, but the offense never responded in kind. ''We let the game get away," Jones said.

San Francisco scored the final 10 points to fmally win 25-7.

The Homecoming game, against the College of San Mateo, was much closer but the result was the same.

The team started the game still pumped up from the tailgate party and surprised CSM by scoring 31 points in the ftrst half.

CSM was able to score two touchdowns to close within 17 points.

Tight ends were the receivers of the day. Aaron Christenson had 89 yards and two touchdowns, while John Vai had 84 yards and one touchdown.

By the end of the half the adrenaline rush from the tailgate party had faded and the offenses and defense both shut down.

CSM scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to win 4231.

The only thing left to do is to hope for better next year.

The Jags ended their season with conference record of 1-4, and an overall record of 4-6.

CTC: gold mine on campu Verna Barrientos Special to the Times There is a gold mine on the San JoseCityCollegecampusandmost students don'teven know about it.

That gold mine is the Career Transfer Center (CTC). Located in the Counseling building, the ere has tons of useful information to offer.

Julia Dea, assistant in the CTC, described the department as "the diamond the school doesn't know about." There is so much that a student could learn about fouryear universities and careers with just a little lime and effort.

On the EUREKA computer system, students are able to take a closer look at all of the different universities and see what they have to offer. According to Dea, the "most common thing (students look up on EUREKA) is what majors are offered at different schools."

Also on EUREKA, students can figure out more about their own personalities and look-up career information as well. Internet ac-

cess is also available.

If computers aren't for you, the CTC has shelves full of college brochures and videotapes revolving around particular schools that are available for check out.

Also, students wishing to transfer to a fouryear university can do so through the CTC with a Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA). With a TAA, students are guaranteed admission to the CTC four-year college in which they applied.

This is annual event that usually occurs sometime in October. Over 40 colleges and universities come to City College to recruit and interest students in what the college has to offer.
