Cosmetology students steal show SJCC team places in every category in the Santa Cruz Hair Show Student Competition BY NOE MAGANA TIMES STAFF
Five teams from San Jose City College traveled to the Santa Cruz Hair Show Student Competition on Oct. 4 and returned home with multiple first place awards. Seventeen other community college teams from all over the Bay Area entered the competition, seeking to dethrone SJCC from first place in the overall look category. Teams were judged on five categories; hair, nails, makeup, model and overall look. The SJCC cosmetology students shone once again in the team category placing first, for the second year in a row, and third in the overall look. The members of the first place team are Nereyda Castro, Maria Mendoza, Alyssa Krauter and Autumn Tyrrell. “(Placing) is important for us because we could see what we really are capable of,” Mendoza, 19, said. Mendoza said competing and placing were also important for the program because it reflected well on the school and the education cosmetology students obtain. There were several individual awards within the first place group. Tyrrell was awarded first place as a hair technician and Mendoza won second place as a makeup technician. The team that placed third in the overall category included Ruby Banaga, Sarah Millsap, Stephanie Ott and David Student Maria Mendoza Nulasco. The individual awards for the team included Nulasco receiving second place as a hair technician, Ott receiving second place as a nail technician and Millsap placing third as a model. Each team had four members; three technicians and a model, and the teams were given one hour, and 30 minutes
“(Placing) is important for us because we could see what we are really capable of.”

to work on the model. “Competition is good in general because it allows them (students) to be very open with their creativity,” Del Rosario said. Other notable awards included Irma Cazares’, 21, second place finish as a nail technician. Cazares said she was a late addition to her team. She was invited to join the team less than a week before the competition. She wanted to work on hair but that spot was taken, so her teammates convinced her to do nails. Cazares said she was happy with the result. She felt it served as proof for her and her family that she does well
in school and that she takes advantage of everything her family has done for her. Del Rosario said the biggest challenge the students faced in the two-week preparation for the competition and during the competition was working all at the same time on the model. “The significance of our students participating is the fact that they get recognition, not just within San Jose City College but as far as Northern California,” del Rosario said. “Out of the five groups that entered, four groups took a place, and we won all across for every category that they had an award for.”
An understanding world at peace Professor in search of a united community

Gerald Grudzen, 75, philosophy professor, has traveled around the world seeking education, community building and now religious acceptance within the different beliefs. Grudzen said he attended the Parliament of World Religions in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Oct. 15 representing the delegation from Santa Clara County with the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council. Ten Grudzen thousand people attended the meeting that represents all religious groups including indigenous communities. Grudzen said the SIVIC, “attempts to look at different issues which have spiritual or religious dimensions to them.” Grudzen said he was drawn to Latin America in the beginning of his career trying to train leaders on how to

communicate with other leaders with different ideologies. Also, he was involved doing community development work, building schools or educating communities how to respect other beliefs, for various countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela, raising money for projects and attending conferences. “(Grudzen is) very interesting, very easy to chat with. A pleasant and very intelligent fellow,” said Sean Abel, Dean of Social Sciences. Grudzen said his focus shifted toward the Middle East two months after he helped his daughter move into an apartment in New York. “I was at home when my sister called me … and she said ‘turn on the TV, the twin towers are coming down,’” Grudzen said. “I can remember turning on the TV and I said, ‘I wonder where is my daughter.’” Grudzen said it took 24 hours to contact his daughter who was working at a hospital treating injured people due to the Sept. 11 attack. Although the attack in New York shifted the whole nation’s attention towards the Middle East, Grudzen continued to work in other parts of the world to bring people together through understanding.

Online sharing is caring Empathy by phone Society is eager to punish this generation’s investment in technology, stressing that millennials spend too much time on their computer or phone and do not have enough human interaction. Awareness of this social deficit has deterred many from being active on social media platforms. In reality, interaction online has increased awareness of a variety of issues and has caused people to care more than some think. Empathy is a universal human quality. It transcends language barriers and can be communicated without actually speaking the same language. According to a 2014 study from the University of North Florida, Facebook actually encourages empathy. Technology does not prevent the expression of empathy. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are most accessible platforms for online “trolls”
or bullies to mock photos of individuals simply based on what they post. Online anonymity makes it so much easier to be hateful online than in real life. Anonymity fuels some people’s fire of saying hurtful things on the Internet, but at the same time, that sort of freedom also allows people to share their struggles without being singled out and can encourage some to have real discussion about controversial topics. This allows individuals the opportunity to gain stronger emotional health in their everyday lives, knowing there are people who support them and others that are going through the same situation. For example, the hashtag campaign #BlackLivesMatter has gained international recognition through social media and quickly spread throughout mainstream
media. This hashtag has helped build a political movement since the acquittal of George Zimmerman in July 2013 for the death of Trayvon Martin. Technology is readily accessible; it provides opportunities and allows users to achieve multiple tasks, whether for business or leisure, at the same time in an efficient amount of time. For instance, a photo is posted of a young child who survived cancer. The photo is circulated throughout different media platforms, it goes viral, praised and congratulated. Strangers can celebrate this young child’s recovery leaving positive feedback from each other. These examples demonstrate that people are supportive through social media. Sharing a photo allowed supporters and even celebrities to express empathy for those reaching out. Sharing strengthens the human connection. Technology is the new outlet. Embrace it.

Letter to Editor and response: ‘Making perfect babies’ Dear City College Times Editors, Whilst reading your article opinion “Making perfect babies,” I found the following issues: 1. There is no author for the opinion/ article. In other words, the person who wrote such article/opinion is nowhere to be found. 2. Your statement is wrong: “Genes define our appearance and can contribute to our health but it does not determine for a fact that we are going to develop a specific disease.” Genes do determine the development of diseases. Consider sickle cell anemia and Marfan syndrome. 3. Your statement is wrong: “We have the technology to scan an embryo before fertilization to know the dangerous genes it contains.” It is not possible to scan an embryo before fertilization because then it will not be an embryo. I think you meant either after fertilization or before conception. I am a pre-medical student who is planning to pursue a career in fertility medicine, so I do not agree with your article in general, but your opinion is respectable.
The Times welcomes comments and opinions that do not exceed 200 words. Letters can be dropped off at or sent to: the Times mailbox at Reprographics the newsroom in the Technology Center citycollegetimes@jaguars.sjcc.edu
My advice would be to have someone who can edit scientific reports/articles/ opinions assist you. Also, get more references to support your opinion such as scientific publications and experts in the field. For example, the professors’ references were good, but also consider the strong support of someone more in contact with the field such as medical doctors or obstetricians who possess a fellowship in fertility or researchers with a Ph.D. in genetics. I hope this information helps you fix these issues. Hope you are well, Freyja Montiel Freyre
Response from editors Dear Freyja Montiel Freyre, About your first concern regarding the author of the editorial: Editorials reflect the opinion of all the editors in the staff so all the points made in the article are discussed by the editors before writing the article and then reviewed after being written. For this reason, we do not include the name
of the author because all the editors are considered the authors of the editorial. Furthermore, the names of the editors are listed in page two of the newspaper along with the entire staff. In the second statement regarding genes determining diseases we had in mind diseases that are within someone’s gene, but it does not physically present itself. Those persons are known as carriers. For example, sickle cell anemia, as you said, is determined by genes, but there is not a 100 percent chance that an offspring of a carrier will develop the disease. According to www.genome.gov, “People who only carry the sickle cell trait typically don’t get the disease, but can pass the defective gene on to their children.” The article also states the likelihood an offspring will develop sickle cell anemia if it inherits the defective gene from either parent or both. If both parents are carriers the chance increases to 25 percent that each child they have will be born with sickle cell. On your third concern; embryos can be scanned when they undergo in vitro fertilization.

Dagan Wells, a Yale University geneticist, in the article, “Screening Embryos for Disease,” on www.npr. org said, said you can take a cell from an embryo without harming it and test the DNA to discover if a gene is carrying a particular disease. Once scanned, the embryo can be transferred to the woman’s womb. The process is called preimplantation genetic diagnosis. The process does not guarantee a pregnancy, but it does guarantee that if a pregnancy does occur, the offspring will not be a carrier of the mutated gene. Freyre, we, SJCC Times, appreciate and welcome your response and concerns. We would also like to thank you for your respectful response about the editorial and about our staff. With this article we hope we clarified our points on the editorial and any misunderstandings it could have caused. We would like to invite you to stop by the newsroom in the Technology Building to thank you personally for your response and exchange point of views about the editorial. Best regards, Editorial Staff

Senior Administrative Assistant of the Language Arts Division Julinda LeDee reads a small passage from her own poetry book, “Rough Edges,” at the memorial ceremony Thursday, Oct.15.
Kandice’s Korner opens to public Collect and donate a book today
BY ARACELI LOPEZ TIMES STAFF
A small crowd attended a memorial reception inside the General Education building on Oct. 15, in support of a staff member’s familial loss. “Take a book, donate a book” is what reads in Kandice’s Korner, a small yet growing library in the Language Arts division. This project was a brainchild of Senior Division Administrative Assistant Julinda LeDee, who created the small space in memory of her sister Kandice, who passed away at the age of 21. Kandice Sue Smith was a victim of domestic violence by her boyfriend and was shot and killed on Oct. 6, 2009. “Kandice loved to read,” LeDee said preemptively before reading a passage of poetry from one of her published books, “Rough Edges.” LeDee thanked the small crowd for attending the event and encouraged other attendees to read or recite a small portion from their favorite book or story. English instructor Scott Inguito read from “The Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison. The short passage that he read allowed an open discussion
about race and visibility in the already intimate group setting. Alva Long, a psychology major student, did not have a book to cite immediately, so he recited his favorite lyrics from “The Moody Blues,” a band popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The lyrics “reach out to me and (are) profound to me,” Long said. “They’ve stuck with me since I was a teen.” Other attendees were encouraged to read aloud or explain what their favorite stories were to the small crowd by the Language Arts staff. The small collection began with roughly 30 books of varying genres, but the corner has many additions by means of donations. Many books have been taken as well, LeDee said. English instructor Anthony Pino even donated a copy of his personal book, “A Hidden River.” If interested in donating or borrowing from this small library, visit the second floor of the General Education building in the Language Arts department. For more information regarding helpful resources pertaining to Domestic Violence, visit The National Domestic Violence Hotline at www.hotline.org or call 1-800-799-7233.

On Oct. 15, ethnic studies professor, Jesus Covarrubias used a donkey jawbone as an instrument, which represented songs of resistance during his lecture at SJCC.
BY ARACELI LOPEZ TIMES STAFF
Latino Heritage Month concluded with a presentation by ethnic studies professor and current President of the Academic Senate, Jesus Covarrubias on Oct. 15, outlining eight historical eras with specific examples of instruments used and themes which highlighted relationships with the Latina/o environmental and cultural struggle. Sept. 15- Oct. 15 was Latino Heritage Month on campus, which was celebrated to increase awareness about the history, identities and struggles of the Latino/a population. Covarrubias took a sabbatical from Fall 2014- Spring 2015, in which he researched MexicanAmerican music. “Music is a part of all our lives,” Covarrubias said. “Music is personal, who we are and important to understanding history.” During his sabbatical, he spent a lot of time in the library researching and in the studio, recording selections of music with fellow musicians, he said. Covarrubias quoted Alan Lomax, a folklorist and ethnomologist in his presentation that “Music, like many other human things, is a pattern of learned behavior, common to the people of a culture.” From the Mesoamerican period to the Mexican-American War to the Chicano movement were just a few of the historical periods that Covarrubias covered in his presentation. Covarrubias shared snippets of audio he recorded and also performed with older instruments he brought to show
the audience. Son Jarocho is a traditional type of music that Covarrubias wanted to explore more of and finally had the chance to do so. He said he really looks forward to the music jam sessions with fellow faculty, if possible. Counselor and professor of Administration of Justice Alex Lopez has encouraged teaching a class on Mexican-American music to which Covarrubias is currently trying to achieve making that class available for students. “(Covarrubias) had an awesome presentation… (it was) so eclectic and (he) pieced it together,” Lopez said about the lecture. A former student of Covarrubias ethnic studies class Ana Castillo, 34, Child Development major, had nothing but good comments of Covarrubias as a professor and found the layout of the presentation’s handout extremely helpful. Castillo expressed her interest in joining the MexicanAmerican music class, if ever available. The music recordings Covarrubias collected and performed over his sabbatical will be available to students who enroll in his Mexican-American History class. Covarrubias also said he is hoping to publish a CD and have it more readily available within the next year. Covarrubias has also been a part of his share of bands, gone touring, recorded half a dozen albums and is a part of Los Nite Liters, a Hollister and San Jose based band.

Campus Blurbs BY LARRY L. HARRIS TIMES STAFF
The Board of Trustees will select San Jose City College’s new chancellor, shortly after Nov. 3.

“Interfaith training brings Christians, Muslims, Indigenous people, Hindus, all the different traditions or cultures represented in that area of the world and teaching them principles on how to get along better with each other,” Grudzen said. “It’s creating relationships of people across the divides that exist there.” Grudzen is also involved with Global Ministries University. This group is internet based and works in graduate school training with faculty throughout the world. The group also sponsors projects in Bangladesh and other parts of the world to bring people together and do interfaith training in areas of conflict. Grudzen, a Detroit native, moved to the San Jose area after teaching in the East Coast because he was interested in a community economic development position in San Jose. In 1979, he was hired as the director of community development of Santa Clara County and continued to serve

Erick Willis, 27, SJCC student, said he is taking his third class with Grudzen and believes the professor is very knowledgeable of the subjects and encourages students to take his class. “He really educates people on the core meaning of the subject,” Willis said. Abel said Grudzen is interested in the SJCC students and wants to give them a broader perspective on global issues and, like Willis, encourages students to take his classes. “The Community College has a vital role of educating our young people to prepare for all the challenges in our society, whether it’s environmental (or) peace studies,” Grudzen said. “Community College trains more people than any other institution, particularly here in California.”

Business: Two Juicy, delicious apples that are on sale at my store. Chemistry: 6x10^30 apple molecules. History: You are holding dinosaur poop. STEPHANIE SMITH / TIMES STAFF

Students walking by the business building may have noticed signs with balloons advertising a KJ’s Café à la Carte. KJ’s Café à la Carte opened a location on campus for the first time on Wednesday, Oct. 14. Katherine Bailey, KJ’s Café à la Carte president and owner, was on site for what she called a soft opening with a grand opening to come at a later date. “We’ll be serving gourmet coffees and teas, iced beverages, grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, wraps, parfaits, fruit and other assorted snacks,” Bailey said. Students with classes nearby investigated the new café. Before the café opened students with classes in the Business and Multi-Disciplinary buildings had to walk to either the Technology Center or the Student Center to get food or coffee, a task difficult on a 10-minute passing period. Now they can go to the nearby theater lobby. “I love it because it’s just so convenient,” SJCC student Hayley Leonard said. “I have a drama class in the theater, then I have psychology in the B building 10 minutes after. I don’t have time to walk to the Student Center or Tech Center.” The atmosphere of the café is quite different from the cafeteria
with wooden floors, mood lighting, decorations and art on the walls. “It seems kind of homey,” SJCC student Robert Longshore said. “It’s not like the cafeteria. It’s quiet. It has a nice space to it.” KJ’s is a small business that has been operating since 1992 and serves Equator Coffee, which is an organic and Fairtrade product from a femaleowned company in Marin County. KJ’s Café donates money to various charities and causes throughout the year, Bailey said and noted the barista working that day, Jesus Del Toro, wore a pink shirt in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. With the addition of KJ’s Café, students now have three different locations on campus they can go to for edible goodies instead of two. “I think it’s a nice new choice and different options instead of cafeteria food,” Leonard said. When stopping in for the first time while on break from Art History class, SJCC student Erica Christopher said, “It’s like Christmas!”
Café Hours Monday-Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday hours to be determined
