San Jose City College may need a

new vice president

for the fall

semester.Elaine Burns, vice president

of Student Affairs, is a finalist for the president’s position at Cabrillo College in Aptos.

“On May 22 and 23, the can-didates will be attending a forum for the community and having direct interviews with the govern-ing board,” said Cabrillo College Interim President John Hendrick-son. “There is not an immediate time for the final decision, but we do expect the new president will be in place before the beginning of the fall term.”

Burns has been the vice presi-dent of Student Affairs at SJCC for nearly eight years, and she previously applied for the presi-dent’s position at Merritt College in Oakland in 2012.

Burns was unavailable for com-ment by the production deadline.

Read the story on the contro-versy over the use of funds on the Measure G-2010 Bond online.

The conflict is because of the different interpretations of the language used in the ballot bond .

The current plan is to renovate 100 and 200 wing buildings, de-molish the theater and 300 wing and build a new Media Arts Cen-ter with bond money, but the original plan was to demolish the 100, 200 and 300 wing buildings and to build a new Vocational Technology building.

Payphone may returnBY MICHAEL BARAjASTimes sTaff

Payphones may return to San Jose City College.

A 500 signature petition was collected by the Associated Stu-dent Government in support of re-installing payphones on campus.

The ASG approved $650 for a payphone on April 17, $250 of which would go for installation and the monthly maintenance fee of $75.

After all the money is spent on the installation of the phone, the bill will be left to the Facili-ties Committee if it is approved by the Board of Trustees.

“Even if they don’t make a

profit, they provide them as a service. Every service does not need to pay for itself. This is why we have public money,” Mike Casas, 42, president of the Associated Student Govern-ment said.

The SJCC campus is used on some weekends for activities that include youth and people from the community.

Maria Lagare, 40, nursing major said “It’s practical for the school to make a payphone available to students because sometimes cellphones are not entirely reliable or some students cannot afford a cellphone.”

The campus had three

payphones that were removed last year because of bud-get cuts and decaying condi-tions. The payphone by the Technology Center and the pay-phone between the Student Cen-ter and the parking garage were removed on April 2012.

The last payphone to be tak-en out was the one outside the library on November.

“I think it’s really important to have a payphone on campus by the library, ” Tevory Nhieu, 41 said. “Cellphone batteries die sometimes, and it’s just better to put money into a payphone to make a phone call when that happens.”

New president selection progress

District Chancellor Rita Cepeda visited the Academic Senate on May 1 to discuss the hiring pro-cess of a president for the college and to gather input on what char-acteristics the Academic Senate would like to see in that individ-ual.

2 Opinion Tuesday, May 14, 2013

In what ways can the Associated Student Government improve next year?

Carlton PerryAge: 65Major: ArtI think the price for food around here is crazy, so lowering that would be nice. I read that some campuses have a lounge area along with a napping area for students who can nap between classes.

Athena MaackAge: 22Major: Broadcast CommunicationsI want the EcoPass. Also, there is so much money spent on food days, like when they hand out pizza. What’s going on with the school pool? What about handing out free scantrons or pencils as opposed to food?

Heidy GaroldAge: 18Major: Psychology If there were more events and better advertising that would be better. I would be able to plan things out and actually be involved on campus.

Justin Son DiegoAge: 22Major: JournalismWe really don’t promote things well enough, like the free ice cream day. There were no fliers, just someone talking about it. The same thing with no advertising for sports; it’s hard to be involved with no advertising about what’s going on.

Sergio MolinaAge: 20Major: ArtI think there should be changes to the food in the cafe. Also, fix the TV in the student lounge and just overall changes to the student lounge would be nice.

Gabriel Velasquez Age: 25Major: UndecidedThere should be an easier way to make suggestions directly toward the ASG. Also, make it easier to get in contact with them with ideas.

Student government must be transparent, approachable

On the heels of recent elections for a new Associated Stu-dent Government, the question on the minds of many stu-dents is what type of government should we expect?

The current ASG seemed to struggle to connect with the students. For example, the Eco Pass survey resulted in only 3.8 percent of students actually participating in the survey.

They are the bridge for the students and other communi-ty within the campus and the district. The communication and mutual understanding between the students and the ASG should be the top priorities.

To resolve these problems, first the new government should be more transparent. Before passing or adopting any new resolutions, laws and policies that may affect the stu-dents, they should find a better outlet to announce them to students before deciding on them in the meetings.

Second, student officers should not sit in their offices and wait for students to come to them. They need to be more ap-proachable. Officers must go out and ask what the students need. They should announce events, ASG meeting times and dates, and possible new resolution and policies utilizing

the media such as the radio station, the newspaper and the school’s website.

They should hold a public hearing in the beginning of each semester, when they announce all the events and activities. Another public hearing should also be held at the end of each semester for feedback from the students and other members of the community.

ASG ought to take a tour around campus, at least once a month, to talk to people in different departments to under-stand the problems students are facing. This will allow them to be more connected to all of the students and their needs.

Lastly, another problem the campus is facing is the stu-dents’ empathy. The ASG must be the advocates for the campus’ spirit. They should hold more events and activities engaging students to congregate together as a community. These activities also need to be announced well in advance so that students can make time to attend them.

The students are the heart of the school while the student government is the mind and the voice; one cannot function without the other.

The San Jose City College Cosmetology Department hosted a hair show competition among their students where guest judges came to score the best of the student work. The students began their day with their models at 10:30 a.m., where they were given two hours to complete an entire look. For the seniors, judging consisted of hair, makeup, nails and the total look. The freshmen in the competition were only judged on hair, makeup and total look.

The theme for the hair show was “From the Beginning…To the End,” so students had the freedom to choose any look that fit the theme. Creative energy was flowing as students worked hard to accomplish the visions they had for their models.

There were cavemen looks and styles, a dinosaur-themed model, along with flappers, Victorian-inspired styles and futuristic women.

After the time was up, the judges came in to evaluate the hard work students put in to create their vision. There were five judges present, ranging from salon owners to dermatologists to

cosmetic specialists.The process of judging took

some time, seeing as the seniors were judged on four categories and the freshman on three. President of the Cosmetology Club Dominique Trujillo, 25, who was a student creating the look for a model last semester and was a model for this spring’s hair show. Trujillo said that during the judging, “[the judges] look at everything, all the details of your hair, all the details of your makeup.”

One of the judges, Felicia Williams, a barber, said that, “You find quality here at San Jose City College, not at any other college,” while discussing the Cosmetology Department on campus and the hard work students in the department put in for their education.

After judging is complete, final touches are put on the models and the show was ready to go on.

Attendees, including both friends and family member of the cosmetology students, lined up to support those in the program, and filled up the seats, ready to cheer on models and students.

The show consisted of dance groups showcasing their skills,

two cosmetology students performing an acoustic cover and the models walking through to showcase the students’ designs.

As the evening came to a close, the winners in each category were announced. For a full list of winners in the hair show visit the City College Times website at http://sjcctimes.com

SJCC golfer Johnnie Grecco missed the California State golf tournament by eight shots during the NorCal Championship Tournament at the par-72 course of Diablo Grande on May 6.

“I did not bring my game at NorCal,” Grecco said. “You really have to be playing your best when competing against the best in the state.”

Head coach Donald Stagnaro reported that Greco shot rounds of 79-80.

The Jaguars finished third in the Coast-South Conference, and Grecco ended the season fifth as an individual in the same conference.

“I’m treating it as a learning experience and hoping to build on it,” Grecco said. “I’m looking forward to our team next year.”

The track and field team sends 11 athletes to participate in six events at the NorCal Community College Championships.

The Jaguars qualified in the top six for field events—pole vault, shot put, hammer, discus, steeplechase and triple jump—and were confident going into the final meet of the region, head coach David Flynn said.

“This one is the most critical meet,” Flynn said.

Flynn reported that the Jaguars will have to be in the top four at NorCal to go to the California State Championships at the College of San Mateo on May 17 and 18.

Jock Talk

It is the first game of the season, and Jane sees that there are only a handful of fans in the stands and they are all rooting for the opposite team. All of her dreams are crushed when she notices that her classmates and teachers who said they would come to the game to support the team didn’t.

She goes to class full-time then goes to practice and works hard on the field. She also has to work to pay for school supplies and books because she does not qualify for financial aid, and she still finds time to do her mandatory volunteer work in the community.

Through trying her hardest on the field, in practice, in the classroom, at work and in the community, she assumes that because her family couldn’t be there all the time, at least her classmates and teachers would be there to support her at games.

Jane now realizes that her campus community, the students and teachers at the school whose pride she is sweating and bleeding for on the field, is not completely behind her.

Although Jane is only a made up person, there are several men and women in-state and out-of-state athletes from all SJCC sports who have felt this way at one time or another.

It is true that athletes may not be as visible on the campus, or as interactive with students and teachers as the campus community would like.

On the other hand, perhaps this is the reason why the campus community has not come to support SJCC sport events in the recent years.

But why should the athletes get more involved on campus, and why should the campus get more involved with sports on campus?

The answer is simple. The campus needs to become a community again rather than just a place where we play sports and go to school.

Without students and teachers, there is no SJCC. Without SJCC, there are no sports.

What this means is that the students, teachers, athletes and coaches all help make this campus a community.

Although this idea of campus community seems to have gotten lost, the solution to find it can be for a group, whether students or athletes, to take the initiative and create an event where students and athletes can bond.

Since the athletes are already in teams that play on our campus, and the students have organized clubs for other students to engage themselves on campus, how do these groups become more interactive?

There is one group that has always acted as the conduit between the students and administration, and now the campus community needs them to be the glue between students and athletes, clubs and teams, cultural events and games. That group is the Associated Student Government.

They have the power to publicize games on campus, rally before games, give out prizes, hold raffles, sell food and drinks and be the spirit builder this campus needs by bringing together the athletes and the students for one purpose, the SJCC campus community.

The San Jose City College softball team was defeated by Fresno City College two games to one in a two-day, three-game series at SJCC’s Jaguar Stadium for the first round of the Northern California regional playoffs on May 4 and 5.

In game one, the Lady Jags outplayed the Rams, defeating them 7-1 in game one, which was played Saturday, May 4.

The score remained tied at one a piece going into the third inning, but the Lady Jags took the lead by batting in five runs to make the score 6-1.

“I was waiting to get my pitch in and when I did I hit it over,” said SJCC catcher Treasure Rodriguez, who hit a homerun in the bottom of the sixth inning to seal the victory.

“Drive through the ball. That’s what we practice,” Rodriguez said.

The Lady Jags had some good momentum going into the next two games after winning the first game of the series, head coach Deborah Huntze-Rooney said.

“I think it’s a good (win) because we need to beat that team,” Huntze-Rooney said. “They are a good team, and this

puts us in the driver’s seat. I would like to get the next game.”

The following day, Sunday, May 5, game two resulted in the Rams coming back to defeat the Lady Jags 7-6 after taking the lead in the top of the seventh inning.

After the score remained tied at zero for two innings, pitcher and first baseman Dani Pianto hit a grand-slam to give SJCC a 4-0 lead.

A few runs were batted in when the Rams slowly came back on the Lady Jags’ 5-1 lead to tie the score at five in the top of the seventh with one out.

The Rams hit a double in the same inning to put them in front of SJCC 7-5, but the game wasn’t over.

SJCC scored its final run

when pitcher Giana Cavallero was walked with the bases loaded to make the score 6-7 just before Rams pitcher Grace Combs struck out SJCC second baseman Nicole Read to end the game.

The Lady Jags were shut out 10-0 by the Rams in game three of the series, which was played 30 minutes after game two.

Despite several opportunities to score, the Lady Jags could not bring any runners home to get on the score board.

With two pitchers, Huntze-Rooney decided to have Cavallera pitch all of game one and have Pianto start with Cavellera closing in both game two and three.

The Rams batted in five runs by the end of the third inning and five

more before the game was called.According to the box score of

the game posted on the official statistics site for California community college athletes, the Lady Jags only had six hits throughout the game and were unable to score before the game ended in the top of the fifth inning.

“No comment.” said Hunzte-Rooney, when asked about the game before going back into the dugout to address the team.

The Lady Jags ended its season in the first round of the Northern California Regional playoffs with 12 wins and five loses in the Coast-South Conference, 29 wins and 14 losses overall and were second in the Coast Conference for homeruns with 34.

Pitcher Danny Pianto hits a single against Fresno City College in the first round of the NorCal regional Playoffs in San Jose on May 4. The Lady Jags won the game 7-1.

You live just 45 minutes from a surfing paradise. Grab a wetsuit, bring or rent a surf board, take lessons if you want and start training for the annual big wave competition held at Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel in Montara along Highway 1, held every winter depending upon when nature sends the waves.

Nearby is world famous Mavericks. This may be another year when Mother Nature brings in the typical 50-foot waves that surf movies have been made about. These waves come from the coast of Alaska and usually show up between November and March of the following year. This is where the most elite surfers (24) in the world come to compete.

Cowell’s Beach is one of the best beginner surf spots in the entire world. It is located in the leeward cove of Santa Cruz, protected from the predominant northwesterly winds that blow out most of the surf spots farther north.

The high coastal bluffs create a wind break that keeps the surface of the ocean water from becoming choppy, making it ideal for surfing.

During medium and low tides, the long, flat sandbar provides a gentle breaking surf that can host several beginners on one wave and also provide a face for the more advanced longboarder to nose ride (hang ten toes over the front edge of your board).

Very long rides can be obtained by the beginner at Cowell’s, providing ample time to master the art of catching a wave and standing up on what is a relatively

smooth, unbouncy wave. Longboards or body boards are essential

at Cowell’s as the short boards will not be able to keep enough speed to stay afloat.

Pleasure Point is called “Jack’s” or “Thirty-Eigth Avenue,” a long board spot that provides long waves ideal for nose riding and can sometimes accommodate beginners with some basic instruction.

It is also ideal for intermediate surfers to improve their skills riding the face of the wave. As the surfer becomes more skilled, he or she can walk or paddle north to “Second Peak” at Pleasure Point or south to the “Wild Hook” or “Shark’s Cove.”

These spots are very crowded with skilled surfers aggressively maneuvering their positions, using strong paddling to get to the peak of the wave (gaining priority, according to surf etiquette).

Here the waves are fast and vertical and should only be attempted by intermediate to advanced surfers.

Forty-First Avenue in Santa Cruz is a fun spot.

These waves are not for longboards, which are not allowed.

If you take one out, you will probably get kicked out. Use shortboards only. There is parking if you are lucky, or you might be walking a while. It is a nice spot to watch the waves from a cliff’s edge.

Forty-First Avenue is a great place to take pictures and to “study the sport.” This is where you can see what you can do and to learn surfing by watching.

It is a good place to be coached by good surfers. Even good surfers expect to get yelled at once or twice here.

Think about this beach as being an elitist’s beach. Surfing here is the difference between playing major league baseball and little league.

Steamer’s Lane is a famous surfing location located on the west side of Santa Cruz, nearest the lighthouse on West Cliff Drive.

This is an excellent location to watch and film the surfing and the skill levels will become very apparent soon.

Steamer’s Lane was named by Claude Horan while he was a student at San Jose State in the late 1930s. It was at Steamer’s Lane that the modern surfing wetsuit and the leash attaching the board to your ankle were mainly developed by Jack O’Neill of O’Neill’s Surf Shop.

This is home to many surf contest yearly, and we feature the sixth annual Spring Fling promoted and co-hosted by Bubb Rader of Pacific Wave Surf Shop.

In California, Steamer’s Lane is my personal favorite to surf “December storm surf,” Rader said. “For big, gnarly waves it, was my choice for decades.”
