City College seeks funds for new library Keith Hattix Staff Writer "Hopefully, funds for the library learning center will be approved by s ummer," said Robert Diaz, directo r of operations, plannin g, and maintenance for the San Jose /Eve rgreen Valley Community College District..

Surprisingly, San Jose City College has been in need for a larger library for quite some time.

With e nrollment at San Jose City rising every year the current library has rapidly become out-

dated, and overcrowded.

The 14,938 square foot building is drastically undersized compare to most of the state's community college libraries.

Therefore, the district has devised a proposal , which would provide an larger library for City College.

The $1 5 mill ion proposal consist of building a three story 66,000 square foot structure adjacent to the General Education buildings at the East End of the parking lot fac-

Shawna Lisk Staff Writer After 32 years of access to birth control and 25 years of legal abortion s, American women are still fighting for their reproductive rights.

Even though 9 out of 10 women are covered by employerbased insurance plans, only 39% of those plans cover contraception for women.

In contrast, half of the 300,000 men who are currently on the male impotency drug, Viagra, have their impotency drugs paid for by their insurance plans.

Wastebasket basketball: City College 0, litter 32 s students and faculty of San Jose City College, we can't help but love our campus. We learn, we grow and we form friendship s in a place filled with pockets of beauty. On clear days you can see the green slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains from the second floor of the GE building.

Between you and the mountains, however, are the casualties of City College 's losing battle against wadded-paper basketball.

Litter, like crumpled paper or forgotten gum wrappers, never seems to make it to the trash cans. Some trashcans show their diversity, though, and are brewing over with their contents.

The cafeteria is frequently visited by people who haven't realized that, contary to popular opinion, discarded food doesn't clean up after itself and yes, the next person who wants to sit there does mind clearing a space.

Scattered around the campus are smokers who toss their cigarettes to the ground and walk away, ometi mes without a glance back at the still burning butts.

Most shocki ng of all, however, is the fact that there are no place to recycle can, paper or · plastic on campus.

As we look around the chaos, we have to first accept the fact that we can't blame the custodians for our mess.

We already treat the custodians like our mothers and expect them to clean up after us.

While they strive to keep the school clean, the

A

We're not asking people to actively go out and pick up all the scattered trash, unless you are guilty of putting it there. In that case, for every wadded piece of paper that was misfired and not retrieved, you should pick up two pieces of trash.

As children we were taught to clean up after ourselves. Ju st becau~e our mommies aren't here to watch us doesn't mean that we can treat City College like our personal wastebasket.

I President Clinton did veto that bill but, anti-abortion lobbyists and representatives have promised to continue to fight in 1999.

Thi s Women 's History Month, at the edge of a new millen nium, is the time for women to look not only at what has been accomplished but what has not.

Now is the time to set the tone not only for the next year, but the next thousand years. The choices that we make today will impact our daughters tomorrow.

Women today ha ve political power, economic power and the power of numbers . It i time to exercise that power and gain control over our own bodies.

We can make a difference. Write to your local representatives and let them know that you want to take control of your own body; that you want your mother/sister/daughte lover, to have control over her own body.

That's fair.

We could have it worse, though . Japanese women have been waiting for 34 years to have the pill approved in their country while it only took six months for Viagra to be approved .

Protests continue to criticize the 'insanity' plea

Student Commentary

"We the jury find the defendant not gui lty by reason of insanity."

How ma ny time have we heard th i verdict?

The defendant claims that in the heat of the moment he went "insane" that is, he had no control of hi actions and was unaware of the con equences.

This is a defense that ha been used by murderers for several years and eems to become more popular with each new murder.

Let's use Mr. X as an example.

He lost his job as a result of some big shot CEO who decided that it was time to make some cuts and save his company money.

Mr. X is scared , but he know that his wife will be there to lend him support. He tells her that he has been laid off, and she quickly tells Mr. X that, "The marriage is over. " Before he can do anything, his wife storms out, warning Mr. X that he' II be back to coll ect her belonging . Mr. X is devastated.

Mr. X decides to go for a drive, and while he's out ees his wife with another man . She grins at him, ca lml y flipping her hair, brandishing a new gold watch that her boyfriend has just purchased her.

their tires, as the soft beat of his wife's favorite song slowly fades.

He slowly proceeds through the intersection blinded by the dust of their car. At this moment, Mr. X has decided to so somethin g that wi ll change his li fe forever-he kills Mrs. X and her boyfriend.

When Mr. X is brought to court and charged with murder, hi s attorney claims that his client is not guiltybyreaso nofin anity . Weeks later he is found not guilty, by the j ury.

Two people are dead and their killer will be een as a victim who has been treated un fai rl y by life .

But wait, what abo ut the rights of the victims?

What abo ut the victim's Constitutional rights of" life, liberty, and the pur uit of happiness?"

These rights have and will continue to be given the "blind eye" as the pur uit for justice is continuously ignored.

Sure there are some cases were it is clear that insanity is present.

In s uch cases it wo uld unethical to remand a mentally ill person (who needs treatment) to a penite ntiary or even condem n them to death .

But now a new question arises; where do we draw the line?

The minute someone " importa nt" is murdered (Enis Cosby) and their killer's pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, we will see a bigger o utrage than was felt by the white com munity when 0 .1.

Simpson was acq uitted of murder!

Until that day all we can do is wait, and silentl y hope that one of our loved ones never crosses the path of one of these so-called mentally deranged indi viduals.

Because if they do, and the victim is deemed "unimporta nt" by society, that victim (your fam il y member) will slowly become the killer; and the killer their victim.

Biology instructor Peter D'Leiscu, center, enthralls visiting third and fourth graders.

Weird science at work • Third and fourth graders learn about the lure of science Tom Spaulding Staff Writer "Oohs" and "aahs" filled room S- 13 in the Sc ience building as biology instructor Peter D' Eliscu revealed the sheep brain.

Hi audience was third and fo urth graders from Sherman Oaks ele mentary school.

The science combo group ventured across Moorpark Ave. to San Jose City College on March 9th to conc lude a ten week course on the human body.

"I wanted the kids to ee the reality of what we were learning," a id third grade teacher Melissa Gamino, " the chance to ee real things and models that we do not

have."

D'Eiiscu was more than happy to have the youngsters visit City College.

"This is my favorite age. The be t grades to teach (are) third and fourth ," D 'Eiiscu explai ned, "the kids are like little spo nges , absorbi ng information with no attitudes."

Approximately 30 c hildren wandered around the lab wide-eyed at the many models and displays they saw.

D'Eliscu was the center of the kids' attention as he cheerfully howed them things like a cow eye, s heep brain a nd a s li de pre entation.

Maria Valencia, a 9-year-old fo urth grader, said the coolest thing she saw was the human brain in a jar and the grosse t thing was a heart.

"Today I learned that this side of your brain can do math," said 8year-old Daniel Pelyo, pointing to

"To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking. "

his right side of his head, "and this side (the left) can read."

D'Eiiscu also took the opportunity to include a slide of a blackened lung, a visible warning against smoki ng.

"In a crowd this big there is always one kid that goes into biology," said D 'Eiiscu, "and who knows? They might remember this day."

This year, students will be doing more than enjoyi ng pring in April and May at San Jo e City College.

The new library would provide tutoring sess ions, Internet access and the latest in coll ege readi ng material. The larger library would better suit the needs of the 9,000 plus students that attend San Jose City College.

It seems as though a propo al to help further education woul d be immediately approved by the tate. However, it has been awaiting approval in Sacramento since 1992.

Initially the State Board of Education supported the propo al, but after finding that community colleges state-wide had been tearing down their old libraries, rather than reus ing the tructure, the review board convinced Governor Pete Wil on that funding

library projects was a waste of state funds.

In the SJ!EVCD 's proposal the old building would be reused as a mass media/admini strative support build ing. U nfo rtunate ly, the state has ass umed that all li brary proposal s in vol ve demolishing the old building.

The Ed ucation Board is expected to review the proposa l, and make a decision by Jul y of this year. If the state does decide to approve the distri ct's proposal for the library learni ng center they' ll receive$750,000 to begin pl anning.

However, if the review board decides not to approve the proposal the district will be fo rced to rely o n recently approved Measure I fund to construct the new library .

Shortly after the election was held Phil Crawford, an Admi nistration of Ju lice in tructor at City College and the interim chief negotiator for the FA was criticized by the new FA president, Wells, via e-mail.

In response to Wells' "public ex pression of... feelings," Crawford resigned hi position as interim chief-negotiator in an e-mail. But Crawford said he would "remain on the team and contribute whatever I can."

One member of the FA, Maria Garcia, a coun elor at City College gave her reaction to the results of the pecial election as " uncertai n of the outcome ... and of whether we, (FA) can meet our goal ... it's hard to know which ide is right. "

"Tartuffe" is about a devotedly stout father and husband, Organ, who is fooled by a reli gious hypocrite attemptin g to stea l his home, money, wife and daughter.

"Physical humor and funny language will keep the audience invo lved in the sho w, and most importantly I wa nt the audience and the cast to enjoy watching and being part of the show," said Mendoza.

Mendoza chose this classic production in order to help train her ac tors in the broad physical style that "Tartuffe" requires.

A tourin g version of "Tartuffe" will also be performed for local high school to rai se their awareness of dram a, especially the program here at City Co llege.

Becau e of the two different performance structures, the play was double cast to pro vide different performance settings for the actors.

'Tartuffe' will be pl ayed by both Dav id Knight and Jess Ortega.

Organ will be played by Miguel urtado and Jake 0 ' eill. The lead female charac ter, a maid named Doreen, will be played by both adine Gaoddoucy and Lau ren Booth.

This is probably one o f the top I 0 great classics in the history of wes tern theater," Me ndoza added , "and I just want the audience to enjoy how funn y it really is."

Seems like it was only yesterday I was buying new schoolbooks, and now Spring Break is upon us.

Show of hand , how many of yo u have already broken your Lent obligatio ns, (if you believe in that sort of thing. that is), huh ?

I thought so. Now for my next question, what is there to do for Spring Break?

Unfortunately, not much to say on the movie front. The three

The Tim

Spring Break to see in my book are, "A nalyze This" for comedy, "The Corruptor" for ac tion, or "The Deep End of the Ocean" if you wa nt to cry.

For the twenty-something crowd, you know the club scene is gonna bejumpin'. Many clubs will be ho1ding special events to celebrate the week.

Even road trips to the holy lands (Palm Springs or B aja, that is) aren't out of the question .

Whatever you do, keep it safe and have a good time . I know, I will.

The roller coaster known as the Jag uars' baseball season took another dip last Tuesday as the team lost to Ohlone Co ll ege, 5-4, at Ohlone.

The loss was the San Jose City College Jags' fourth in six conference games. '"A ll four losses were by o ne run . We have been in every game," said head coach Doug Robb. "It ' the littl e thin gs that have killed us."

Little things like untimel y errors and the lack of timely hittin g.

"We have n't had bad luck, just the other teams have gotten really good luck," Robb said.

Robb is trying to fit the pieces together to complete the puzzle to winni ng games. " We have to get the job done," Robb explai ned . "We have yet to play a complete nine innin gs."

Despite bei ng two games under .500, the Jags have shown s igns of life. They are ranked third in the conference in hittin g and econd in pitching.

"We are better than those team s (we ' ve lost to)," said outfielder Todd Brya nt, "but we play down to the level of the other teams."

"I want to go to the playoffs," said Bryant, who leads the team with a .480 batting average, I home run and 7 RBI, "I would trade all (the statistics) for a coupl e of wi ns."

they won ' t be back next year,'' said Oberg. "They were a thrill to coach, the entire team are absol utely great women. " City College's final game came upon the team's wor t shooti ng ni ght of the season.

The Jags had a 29 percent field goal performance with an even more uncharacteristic 13 percent from behind the three-point line.

Co-Captain Gina Paradi so had outstanding game scorin g 14 points in the semifinal match, but her shots were the just about only thing fa llin g for the team.

Sopho more Bri e Ahern led the team to the semifinals wi th her infectious three-point barrage in the

tournament. In the game before the semifinal loss , Ahern hit six three-pointers.

Oberg can now look onto the future, an already advantaged future.

Five freshman players are set to take the helm .

Freshman Bri anne Prescott finished second in the state in three-point field goals made.

While recruiters from four-year schools scou t the sophomores, the entire team will continue practicing and working out beginning after the Spring break.

"It's time to start over," said Oberg .

"I really apprec iate the faculty , staff and fan support. It helped out a lot. I hope it wi ll co ntinue next season."

Softball team places third in Bakersfield Last weekend City College's men 's track team competed in the Beaver relays at American Ri ver College in Sacramento.

The team placed first in the shuttle hurdles, triple jump and pole vaul tevents. They also placed second in the 4 XIOO meter relay, shot put, discus, hammer throw and the sprint medley events.

"Our strongest event last weekend was definitely the pole vault," said head coach Steve Haas. "They set a meet team record and Steven Harri s and Robert Carbajal set indi vidual meet records."

Each of the men had 16 foot 6 inch jumps.

This weekend's meet is big for both the men and the women track team in Stockton , at the Merv Smith In vitational , and the Jags are prepared to face the challenge.

Keith Hattix Staff Writer The San Jose City College Softball team began this month by placin g third in an invitational tournament in Bakersfield.

They earned their invitation by placing second in the Coast Confe rence last season.

The women played five game agai nst the top teams in the state. " We faced so me s tiff competetion, but we did pretty good," said head coach Debbie Huntze-Rooney. " We dominated from the begining," said Huntze-Rooney, describing the Lady Jags' 16-1 mauling of Cabrillo College on March 9.

The team's first con femce game began with the Jags scorin g two quick runs in the first inning.

Cabrillo attempted to mount a come back, scorin g their first run in the second inning, suprisingly , it wou ld be their last.

The Jags then proceeded to score consecutively for the rest of the game.

The squad's next conference game didn ' t prove to be much different, as the Lady Jags rolled over opponent Hartnell 9-0 on March II .
