Parking pay meters need more support

Finicky pass machines deserve our attention

BY TYLER BARNESS TIMES STAFF

You are running late. It is five minutes to a midterm and you have taken every shortcut you can to get to class.

You pull into the parking lot, park, rushing to get a parking pass to avoid a ticket.

And the machine refuses to work.

It does not take the money offered, it does not have any paper or some other malfunction has rendered the machine inert.

Students who have the misfortune of carrying only bills can run the risk of a ticket for not carrying quarters.

If the machine is out of paper, they have a choice to make: call the campus police department, hope the other machines are working or risk a black mark on their driving record.

With more than 10,000 students attending SJCC, parking has always been a source of stress for students.

All it takes is a brief glance at student reviews on sites like Yelp to see that the parking situation is a cause for concern.

The meters only add to this problem.

With

reasonable parking at a premium, the risk of getting a ticket from finicky machines makes the process even more of a hassle.

While it should not be said that the machines would chase away prospective students, it can be said that they make life harder for students who commute by car.

I spoke to an officer at the campus police department to expand my basic understanding of the machines.

One aspect of the problem is that the machines are not all the same.

Some of them are batterypowered, some are hardwired to electrical sources and some are even host to solarpowered reserve power.

Some of these machines even hibernate to save power

Opinion and need to be woken up by users before attempting to purchase a parking pass.

Each machine requires a different touch to repair, adding to the difficulty of maintaining them. The school could save time and effort with these machines if they were all the same make and operated the same way.

As a school with a responsibility to the students, SJCC should take steps to make the parking process less luck-based. They could do so by updating these machines, possibly standardizing them so a problem with one machine could be solved the same way as any other machine.

Another possible solution, should the cost of rehauling and standardizing the machines prove to be too high, could lay in additional support. Despite already having a small team of Community Service Officers dedicated to taking care of the machines, the machines continue to be temperamental.

As it stands, the parking meters need more support. If the school is going to charge for parking and penalize people for not paying, it should have a reliable method for paying for daily parking.

Campus community seeks solution to lack of police Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services Doug Smith hosted a public forum in the Student Center on April 10 to discuss campus police staffing issues and future long-term goals.

Administration is currently searching for a suitable replacement for Chief of Police Ray Aguirre who left in February, as well as other full-time and part-time officers.

“Many of our students have not had positive experiences with police,” Elaine Burns, Vice President of

Student Affairs, said. “That’s exactly why we need someone who’s sensitive to the students.”

As of now, Officer Tony Delgado is serving as interim Chief of Police.

Smith let faculty and members of the community say what they would like to see from the Campus Police Department in the future.

Heavy emphasis was also put on establishing constant communication between the police department and administration in order to benefit the student population.

“The policy preferences of high income groups are significantly related to subsequent policy outcomes,” wrote Martin Gilens, of Princeton University, in his report on inequality and democratic responsiveness in the United States, “while the preferences of middle income Americans are barely related to what laws end up being enacted.”

Emergency Rescue: EMT S

tudents in Action

COMPILED BY: AISHA MCCULLOUGH / TIMESSTAFF

Scott Miller, instructor for the San Jose City College Emergency Medical Technician Program, oversees his students as they spend the afternoon practicing rescues in the courtyard of the Technology Center on Monday, April 7.

The EMT students practiced C-spine immobilization, where the patient has a c-collar placed, body mobilization where patient is securely strapped to the rescue board to have the least amount of moment.

EMT students also practiced extricating injured patients from cars.

Miller, an alumnus of the program, has been teaching SJCC students since 2008.

The spring 2014 class received the Vocational Education Basic Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act this year.

With a portion of the grant funds, the Santa Clara American Medical Response Ambulance Transportation company helped the EMT program locate and purchase an ambulance simulator van.

Artists learn professional skills Art 76 class teaches students to succeed

By Justin San Diego Times Staff

The Portfolio Development and Professional Practices Class (Art 76) has taken over the Carmen Castellano Fine Art Center during April to showcase their artwork.

The exhibit titled “Breakthrough” opened April 8 and will continue through April 28.

“I fought for this exhibit,” said Jason Adkins, art professor. “The class was brought back for the first time last year after a long time.”

During the opening reception, one piece of artwork sold, and at least two other pieces were talked about being purchased.

Along with their art series, each student put together a binder that included an artist statement, resume and biography. Some included samples of their art and business cards.

One of the collections included four portraits of a homeless person painted by Tom Baus, 65, art major.

Baus used to be homeless himself and lived at a shelter.

“I try to tell their stories in my paintings because they are often misrepresented,” Baus said.

Baus said one of the subjects, “Alex,” refused to use medic care provided by the shelter and let himself fall apart. “Alex” is also the title of the piece.

Pammi Kalra, 40, art major, had a collection that used a technique called pouring, a process of pouring paint on a canvas and tilting the canvas so the paint mixes naturally.

“I want my work to be unpredictable,” Kalra said.

“Spontaneity is a theme in this collection.”

Adkins gave her the advice to use house paint rather than artist paint, which is more costly. Kalra said the change in paint did not affect the quality of her art work.

“Jason (Adkins) has introduced me to art galleries and other things in our community I had no clue existed,” said Delia Martinez, 50, art major.

Martinez created a multimedia wall art of fish and the ocean.

“The class is very necessary,” Martinez said. “It helps us on all the things that frustrate artists like writing and business.”

Reckless comes to a close

By Marc Brodeur Times Staff

With gun in hand, Tom warns his wife Rachel that he has hired a man to kill her on Christmas Eve. Now Rachel, played by Casey Jane Satterlund, must go on the run to avoid her impending doom.

As the stage of the San Jose City College Theater illuminated from the darkness, the cast of “Reckless” took to their places for a final run on April 6.

Under the direction of Dennis Sloan, theater arts professor, the production came to a close after a three performance run from April 4 through 6. Admission was free, but canned food donations were accepted for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

“Reckless” is a hilarious, dark comedy with a heartfelt message that was charmingly portrayed by its cast.

The story follows Rachel on her journey as she meets new people, changing her identity multiple times to avoid being recognized.

Bad luck seems to follow no matter where she runs.

Satterlund did a sensational job portraying Rachel, a happy and

bubbly character who is shocked after learning of her husband’s plans.

Satterlund stole the performance by becoming her character and drawing in the audience as they went through Rachel’s journey together.

She was also the comedic, driving force that consistently entertained and brought laughter to the audience.

While on the run, Rachel meets Lloyd, played by Chad Stewart, at a payphone where he offers her a ride and later a place to stay.

Playing the role of Lloyd, a calm and collected man who lives with his paraplegic and deaf girlfriend Pooty, played by Caitlin Shriner, Stewart made the perfect yin to Satterlund’s yang.

Together the pair made for a dynamic duo of crazy and calm, creating lively stage chemistry and comedic timing that breathed life into the performance.

The stage design was simple, yet effective with a monochromatic color scheme of white that tied in to the winter motif.

Dramatic leading lines created by the set comfortably directed

Art 76 teaches students to understand the business side of selling art and displaying their work, including building resumes, business cards and portfolios.

“I learned a lot about where I can show my art, who to talk to, how to build a website and about pricing my art,” said Alex Quilala, 27, animation major. “I’m feeling more confident than before taking this class.”

These students also go on at least two field trips. This semester, they visited San Jose State University and the De Young Museum in San Francisco.

“For most students at this level, it is difficult for them to contextualize their work in relation to the larger world,” Adkins said.

Art 76 is an advanced art class that requires enrolled students to take 12 units of prerequisites. The class is 3 units and only offered in the fall.

“Having a smaller class and operating the class like a seminar helps build camaraderie and a great atmosphere,” Adkins said.

The new gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Art 76 teaches students many skills to help them succeed at getting their work displayed in galleries and presenting themselves professionally.

The costume design was very simple with most characters dressed in standard street clothes, which fit the subject matter of everyday people.

One thing that was slightly distracting throughout the play was the lack of a costume change for Rachel.

She began the play in white pajamas and remained in the same outfit the entire play.

“Reckless” followed Rachel through multiple Christmases, and without a costume change the sense of time gone by began to get lost.

Another distraction that began hinder the sense of reality was the number of props that began to clutter the stage.

After each scene, props seemed to be left out and never removed, blurring the lines between different locations such as the home, office and game show.

May Day Labor Film Festival starts Thursday

Students create event highlighting struggles of working class people

BY JUSTIN SAN DIEGO TIMES STAFF

A film festival produced by the Labor Studies 15 class is scheduled to take place April 24 to May 8 on campus and at the San Jose Peace and Justice Center.

“Citizen Koch” will be the first filmed screened this Thursday.

Oscar-nominated filmmakers Ta Lessin and Carl Deal -“Citizen Koch,” “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 9/11” -- will speak on the issues involved in “Citizen Koch.”

The film will be an advance screening, premiering in theaters this June.

Labor studies major Eric Acedo, 23 is the student organizer for “Inocente” and Sophia Said is the organizer for “Cointelpro 101.” Each student individually organized a film.

“You’re going away with the whole experience of talking to filmmakers and people who are interested in the issue,” Said said.

There will be speaker and a Q&A session after each movie.

“It’s a collaborative effort,”

said Jim Kelly, professor of labor studies, “we linked people who are experts on the issues and encourage participation.”

The films relate to the issues in the SJCC community. “Inocente” is about a homeless artist, “Where Soldiers Come From” is about coping with a friend going to war and “Cointelpro 101” is about the FBI plot to suppress minority groups during the 60s and 70s.

“Speakers for ‘Inocente’ include Society, from Silicon Valley Debug,” Acedo said “he has been a voice for the homeless in Silicon Valley and Sandy Perry of Community Homeless Alliance Ministry.”

“The class rekindles your spark in activism, which our generation lacks,” Said said.

Students are asked to bring a canned food item, which will be donated to charity, but admission is free.

Kelly’s class focuses on creating the film festival, but also analyzes leadership, reaching out to the community and working as a team.

For the festival, students research about 30 movies, research guest speakers, book them to speak, write press releases for the films and write a resume with skills you achieved during the class.

“Scheduling a time to film the show is the most challenging part of producing the show,” Bough said.

Students can get a stipend at the end of the semester and hundreds of dollars’ worth of training from CreaTV. Due to winning a lawsuit from Comcast, CreaTV is now one of the best community access channels.

“It has newer equipment and an advanced studio because they are receiving millions from winning the case,” Bough said.

Jaguars take down No. 1 with long ball Jags rally for win with 3 late home runs

BY ZACH TATAR TIMES STAFF

The Lady Jaguars upset the No. 1 ranked team in California, the College of San Mateo, 15-9 on Tuesday, April 1, showing they were not fooling around.

After winning three previous games, the team came into the game Tuesday with a “nothingto-lose” attitude, sophomore center fielder Krystal Rock said.

“We knew we had nothing to lose, we just wanted to go out and beat the No. 1 ranked team in the state,” Rock said.

The Jags ranked ninth out of Northern California’s top 10 teams in a poll taken by the CCCAA, or California Community College Athletic Association, on March 10.

After losing to Coast North Conference rival Ohlone College 7-5 on Tuesday, March 18, San Jose City College dropped out of the top 10 according to the March 21 CCCAA poll.

The next CCCAA Northern California poll came out Wednesday, April and the Jags did not make the top 10 poll.

Head Coach Debbie Huntze-Rooney decided ZACH TATAR / TIMES STAFF to have freshman pitcher Alex Hernandez in the pitching circle against San Mateo.

Giana Cavallaro is in the pitching circle for the Jags this season.

Hernandez faced three batters, walked two She will be attending the University of West Alamaba in the fall. batters and gave up a bases-clearing triple to

give San Mateo a 2-0 lead early in the first.

Sophomore pitcher Gianna Cavallaro completed the game, surrendering 12 hits and seven runs in six innings.

Huntze-Rooney said the the team had each other’s backs.

“We had a good feeling from the start even though we gave up three runs in the first,” Huntze-Rooney said. “We had a never-give-up attitude and they knew how to stay together as a team.”

The score was back-and-forth for most of the game. By the end of the sixth inning the game was tied 8-8 with the Jaguars’ batting in the top half of the seventh inning.

The Jags rallied back with six hits, seven runs and three home runs from the sophomore trio of Rock, third baseman Nicole Read and catcher Treasure Rodriguez. They finished with 20 hits and 15 runs.

“The Jags took away that if they play the way they did against San Mateo, anything is possible in the future,” Huntze-Rooney said.

The Jags continued play Saturday, April 5 when they hosted Fresno City College Rams in doubleheader action at Lady Jags Field. After adding another to their four game winning streak to five with a 10-6 win, then ending the streak the same day in a 7-6 loss to the visiting Lady Rams.

His events are shot-put and discus throwing, in which he is ranked sixth and eleventh in Northern California.

Foki moved to the mainland in July of last year and has been attending San Jose City College ever since.

Foki is 19 years old, enjoys his history class because it is interesting and likes that his teacher talks about the government, which got him more interested in history.

This two-sport athlete played football for SJCC last season as a defensive back and said he wants to play again this fall.

Foki is looking to continue his throwing excellence in this year’s upcoming State and NorCal Championships and already qualifies.
