The quick footsteps, the sheepish grins and the wondering eyes were clear signals that the students navi-gating the campus corridors Friday were not college students � yet.

Rather, they were high school stu-dents from cities as far away as Wat-sonville and Hollister who participat-ed in the 21st annual Raza Day con-ference.

Raza Day was implemented at San Jose State University to increase the number of Latinos who enroll in the university. according to Linda Ortega, assistant director of Student Out-reach and Recruitment.

Antonio Nunez, co-chair of the Raza Day committee. said he was pleased that about 700 students from more than 10 high schools had attend-ed the conference.

"We want to leave an impression on high school children’s minds that col-lege can be n reality." N1111(.7. said "It’

a place where they can live out their dreams."

For some students. Nunez’s inten-tions were quickly taken to heart.

"It’s really like one communtt. Rodriguez said. "We’re getting to corn-municate with others about how to get to college."

Rodriguez said she wants to major in psychology at UC Irvine. Garcia. meanwhile, wants to study medicine at UCLA.

The Watsonville High School sophomores came to the conference b) way of the Upward Bound program, a

program geared to help low-incomo students attain a higher education, they said.

The majority of the students involved in the program are Latinos,

Women poets sound off at multicultural open mic night Karen

min

On most days. the NI. u t cafe is a place on campus where students can hang out, grab a quick bite to eat, get a cup of coffee or study.

Thursday night. the cafe had an added touch of "Bullets and Butterflies," an open mic event for the women of San Jose State University.

Sponsored by the Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino American°, the cultural arts center teamed up with SJSU’s Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChAt to celebrate one of the events for Floricanto 2001.

As a part of the Mexican culture, the Flor-icanto Festival’s primary aim is to get people together through various forms of expres-sion.

"Bullets and Butterflies" did just that by calling the night "Poetry and Performance for the People." The mic, however, was open only to the women.

Women’s Wonder and Small Axe Poetry Project were two scheduled acts that kicked

oft the night of spoken-word performance. Other females who wished to perform

signed up on a list. From father and daughter relationships to

the standards of beauty to what goes on at Associated Students meetings, the trio of Women’s Wonder opened the lid to a boiling pot of troubles many women face in their lives every day.

Maranda Collins, an undeclared sopho-more, recited her poem "Beautiful," a poem she wrote a month ago, about the stereotypes of beauty in today’s society.

"It was a realization that I can’t fit in that stereotype," Collins said.

In her poem, she said the standards of beauty have held her back for far too long, and what is beautiful to her may not be beau-tiful to others.

"Being ugly is just like being beautiful � it’s just different," she said.

By the end of her poem, she said, "Beauty is for others to hear what she has to say."

Collins said the open mic gave people a chance to be heard.

When Wes Heim, a graduate student in marine science, went surfing one foggy morning with four friends, little did he know that their surfboards would become rescue vessels.

Huge waves tipped over a Salinas couple’s boat. which led the surfers to bring them to shore.

Heim said he is working on his the-sis about the study of toxicity of mer-cury at the San Jose State University Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in Monterey.

The Moss Landing Marine Laborato-ries provides a year-round center for marine sciences instruction and research for seven California State University campuses, Heim said.

Before workdays, some students and workers go surfing at a spot one mile away from the lab, he said.

On April 18. Heim, Myah Gunn, John Haskins, Sean Mundell and Casey Adams decided to go surfing. Little did the surfers know they would come back :is heroes.

According to Heim. waves crashed amid the thick clouds of fog, and tem-peratures were in the low 50s.

He couldn’t see more than 100 feet away.

But they noticed a small fishing boat and saw that it had been caught by a huge wave that caused the boat to flip over, so they began paddling toward the boat.

Mundell and Adams were the first to get to the boat. Heim said.

The Salinas couple from the boat, Bill Jordan and Jeanette Smith-Jor-

’ dan, were not wearing life jackets when their boat was capsized by the waves north of the jetty at Moss Landing.

Fine food. music and smiles were the theme of the 10th annual International Hospitality Celebration on Thursday.

The celebration was organized by the San Jose State University hospitality management department and packed in guests from all over the Bay Area, who are in the hospitality industry, at $65 a head.

All three floors of the Tech Museum of Innovation echoed with energetic music led by SJSU alumnus David Ladd and the Down Town All -Stars, while the guests had a chance to t,aste food and drinks from 50 vendors set up throughout the museum.

A hallway of balloons slowly swayed at the entrance to the main floor, where old black-and-white movies were pro-iected onto the wall.

The celebration is a yearly fund-rais-er the hospitality management pro-gram plans in order to raise money for its program, according to Kate Sullivan, program director. She said interns and advisory board members from the pro-gram organized the event.

"This is our only fund-raising event, but when we do it, we go all out," said Valerie How, a senior hospitality man-agement major.

Editorial Children’s education is on the line with high-stakes testing Sona, things Just don’t make sense. It’s hard to

understand why there are regulations and procedures that deplete opportunities for

individuals � children in particular � in the Unit-ed States, a country that is home to some of the most highly educated, successful and diverse peo-ple in the world.

Children are impressionable. They are bright. And they are our future.

So, why is it that instead of educating them, we’re discriminating?

High-stakes testing, while meant to be a system of standardization used to measure a student’s academic performance from kindergarten through 12th grade. serves as an obstacle for underprivi-leged and minority children.

These tests, which are implemented in 24 states, lead to special placements, promotion, grad-uation and scholarships, according to the National Education Association.

Furthermore, in many elementary schools across the nation students are tested frequently as a way to measure the school and its progress.

The mission behind high-stakes testing is a pos-itive one, no doubt.

It’s a reassuring notion that the process was cre-ated as a means to reach higher public school stan-dards.

Nevertheless, such standardization is not fair when it disregards language barriers. Students, especially those for whom English is a second lan-guage, cannot be expected to earn the same scores as those who speak the language fluently.

It isn’t fair when it determines monetary gains or losses for schools and school districts.

How can we expect to reach higher standards when public education does not get an equal amount of government funding?

But most of all, high-stakes testing isn’t fair when it punishes the population that really mat-ters: children.

When schools lose funding for poor academic scores on tests, and when teachers are penalized because their students are not up to par with sub-ject and class assessments, it only harms the stu-dents.

Teachers lose their incentive to teach. Schools get bad reputations, decreased enrollment and pro-gram cuts. And students, of course, learn less.

The rewards and punishments that come out of high-stakes testing make it clear that the focus is on money and not education.

The testing hinders academic success for many, and it should be re-evaluated.

Fortunately, the College of Education at San Jose State University held a forum Wednesday to inform students, teachers and parents about the tests.

The only way things can change and improve is if we, as students, educators and parents, continue to be educated about topics related to our children.

Pushing our youth to aim high and reap the full benefits of public education is not too much to ask � it’s acceptable. The way we’re going about it, however, is not.

Marijuana is a poison; should not be legalized S�inetime in the near future, the

L.S. Supreme Court will bring down the judgment on the move-

ment to make medical marijuana legal, which is the first step toward legalizing what has been an illegal drug.

Proponents of legalization will con-tend that cannabis, marijuana, hemp, weed or what not could stop the drug war that’s not working, reduce gang violence and problems with certain third-world countries that produce the raw materials for drugs and turn a shrub plant’s fiber into every possible product possible.

Yes, the war on drugs has turned into a fruitless, unsuccessful campaign.

And while it sounds like hemp, cannabis, marijuana, or whatever is better than other drugs used in the medical field, it contains some ironical-ly harmful side effects.

In short, it would be a mistake to legalize cannabis � in any fashion.

One has to admire the spin done by those seeking to make marijuana legal. According to those in favor of legaliza-tion, marijuana is an innocent sub-stance that is nowhere near as damag-ing as alcohol or other drugs, and it offers benefits to those suffering cancer.

However, spin can’t hide the truth. According to an American Cancer

Society article, marijuana impairs the immune system, enhances tumor growth and causes bronchitis and lung cancer, thanks to it containing four times the amount of the carcinogenic substance known as tar, which is also used in cigarettes.

So, in order to reduce the stresses of cancer, using this drug should relieve pain while killing the patient with some other form of cancer.

So why not just legalize marijuana and drop the b.s. cover of it being the miracle drug to cure everything from

glaucoma to hemorrhoids9 Again, it wouldn’t be a wise idea. Marijuana, once legalized, will not

be sold by Mom-and-Pop outfits out of Santa Cruz and Chico. Instead certain corporations will take over this new green machine.

Who are they? The same people who’ve been rolling smokes by the bil-lions for years, the tobacco industry.

Who else Call produce a cheap (and addictive) regular supply of smokes and turn major profits?

VVho else has learned how to market products which attract those too young to use their product in order to replace the dying user population, as well as make a stinky odor-stick look cool?

Answer: Big Tobacco. Sounds revolting, doesn’t it? And

face it, it would be likely for Joe Camel to come out of retirement to promote his new product, all while the new industry says it’s not being marketed toward kids.

Some will argue that marijuana can be cultivated in the home, negating those sinister fat cats, but hey, beer can be brewed at home and yet people still buy cans, cases and kegs at the store. The masses don’t have the time, patience or care to give to a plant, and I’ve known plenty of stoners who have failed in cultivating their own crop.

On that note, the marijuana indus-try’s public relations will be strength-

ened by the billions of dollars of rev-enue flowing in, and positive spin and "scientific studies" will continue to pro-mote the product as well as squelch any reports citing harmful affects in the human body or in society.

Already, a search on the Google search engine shows links under the American Cancer Society’s article defending marijuana and denouncing these scientific claims, coming back with arguments that aren’t sound.

One such Web site puts up a defense stating that everything in the world causes amcer, which may have been a defense the tobacco companies may had considered.

With marijuana legalized, use of the drug would not decrease, but rather, it would increase and the number of prob-lems associated with it and alcohol abuse � unwanted or problematic pregnancies, suicide, homicide, domes-tic violence � would also rise.

You see, humans are a species of addicts. This nation alone has gambling addicts, alcoholics and people who can’t stop eating, just to name a few groups. Almost each of these groups has a sup-port group or therapy for those to cope with their addiction.

The problem? All of these groups are either too expensive or have minuscule financial backing and support. And don’t think the new cannabis industry will shell out bucks for 12-step pro-grams designed to curb its "overzealous customers."

After all, the gambling industry doesn’t give much support to Gamblers Anonymous either, aside from a tiny sticker on the side of an ATM machine, and cigarette packages and alcoholic beverages have the Surgeon General’s warning in small type.

who do kick their habits and hold their own, but there are many who can’t dis-cipline themselves from the urge.

It’s just not right to legalize this poi-son. We already have alcohol and tobac-co to worry about. This society needs not another poison on the market shelves where consumers can mind-lessly waste their lives.

As I end this column, I have a feeling that I’m in the minority opinion.

Maybe I’m being overzealous. Maybe I’m missing the boat. Maybe I’m with the same cast-offs who crusade against abortion or eating meat.

But I just can’t get what I’ve seen out of my mind. All of the addictions to sins in a household from hell.

I can just picture a kid, living in a house where Mom’s stoned so she can reduce the pain from Dad’s rage when he’s roaring drunk and pissed from blowing all his money on bad bets.

I can see this kid’s 14-year-old sister already stealing tokes from Mom’s stash of marijuana cigarettes and speed. She hasn’t been to school for about a month, but nobody notices.

The power is off because no one has had the brains to pay the bill for three months, and the kitchen stinks of smoke and rotting food, and most of it is already unhealthy to eat.

And this house isn’t the only one of its kind in the neighborhood.

Come to think of it, it’s the house of some members of my family. And worse, I’ve already seen this home in real life. I stayed in those homes a few times.

I don’t think anyone else has to.

End of era for quality prime-time programs What has America’s prime-

that I’m a TV junkie, a couch pota-to, a fanatic. Or at least I was.

The only reason I’ve lost touch with the tube is because I’m cooped up in this newsroom about 60 hours a week � I have no time.

And I’m sure I’d still be connect-ed to a few of my favorite shows if those kind gentlemen downstairs in the journalism department’s pro-gramming room would let me watch the � ahem � WB.

No, damn it, rm not ashamed to admit it.

But, I digress. I guess my time constraint saves

me from a whole lot of grief, now that I think about it.

This weekend, I discovered just how much garbage is on television.

First off, I was floored to see that "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is still all the rage on ABC.

I sat on the sofa thinking, "My God, this show is still on the air?" and wondered when the rest of America would figure out that triv-ia is not important, hence its name.

But I suppose couch potatoes aren’t the only people who love triv-ia.

Fast-food frequenters are fans as well, which explains why McDon-ald’s offers customers chances to win big (yeah, right ) on airtODS its french fries.

Wait, wait, shhh ... don’t tell me. Just give me a second to figure out who endorsed that one.

And of course, we can’t forget about ’The Weakest Link," a show that I have yet to watch, yet know enough about.

Maybe I should rephrase that. After all, the only thing I know is that it’s another trivia game show starring an impatient, quick-witted and annoying � not to mention, Sally Jessy Raphael-ish � host, who regularly ridicules contestants.

That’s anything but entertain-ment. Sorry. Try again. NBC.

CyberRays break even Bay Area women’s soccer team ties inaugural home opener

By Clarissa Aljentera DAILY STAFF EDITOR

Bay Area CyberRays defender Brandi Chastain said her team should have come up with a win in its seoand game of the season, but instead, the team came up with a tie.

The CyberRays and Boston Breakers played to a 1-1 tie Sunday at Spartan Stadium. With the tie, both teams fell to 0-1- 1.

In those games, the kicks went in for their opponents, and one ended in a 1-0 loss and the other in a 1-1 tie.

"I felt that we should have won the guile," Chastain said.

The CyberRays had a chance down to the last second to get ahead offensively, but the decid-ing factor was a matter of inches, not shots.

With less than a minute left to play, Chastain positioned herself in the middle of the box when she took the corner kick from Sissi, a Brazilian player who prefers to go by her first name. But the ball hit dead cen-ter on the cross bar and deflect-ed to CyberRays midfielder Kim Clark, who then missed a last-second opportunity

That was one of two close chances for a CyberRays score.

The first came early in the second.

Katia, like Sissi, is a Brazilian player on the team who prefers to only go by her first name.

Katia, a CyberRays midfield-er, momentarily put her team ahead 1-0 in the 59th minute. She took the ball down the left side of the field when she put it away in the right side of the net tbr the 1-0 lead. - The goal was the first. of the season for the CyberRays, who suffered a 1-0 loss against the Washington Freedom on April 14

Breaker coach Jay Hothnan said it was difficult caging in, get-ting a pulse on Katia and her offensive skills.

"She is tough," Hoffman said. "She is good in the air. She is strong on the ball, and she has got pace."

"Looking at the way they play, they targeted her a lot, and it cre-ates problems for the opposition."

Chastain credited Katia with a beautiful play leading up to the goal.

"Tm happy to have her score the first goal in the home stadi-um," Chastain said.

Katia was stifled for most of the game by the Breakers defense and had three shots, including the goal, before she injured her left ankle.

The CyberRays game was spoiled by Breaker midfielder Kristine Lilly’s penalty kick. The Breakers’ opportunity came off some commotion caused by Chastain and Kelly Lindsey.

Chastain and Lindsey were running downfield toward the corner of the penalty box when Brealcer forward Dagney Mell-gren came between them and all three oollided.

The referee called a penalty on the CyberRays, which set up the free lcick that led to the even-tual goal.

Lilly fired the ball off her left foot to get past CyberRays goalie LaKeysia Beene and into the upper-right corner of the net.

Chastain said she wasn’t part of the penalty call because she cazne in toward the end and was almost run over by Mellgren.

Lindsey said she wa.s unsure what happened on the Cyber-Rays’ defense, but she was satis-fied with their scoring opporttmi-ties.

"Tbday, the game was very back and forth," Lindsey said. "They had a lot of good opportu-nities, and we didn’t control the ball as much as we would have liked, but we got more than we needed to."

Lindsey said there was some inaugural game and season jit-ters the CyberRays had to over-come to settle into play

"It’s gonna talce a few games for every team to get some momentum, get some play under their belt, and I think you guys will see a lot better soccer throughout the season once everything settles down," she said.

Top, Bay Area CyberRays’ goalie Lakeysia Beene stops a shot-on -goal by Boston Breakers’ forward Maren Meinert, No. 6, on Sunday at Spartan Stadium. The CyberRays and Breakers tied 1-1.

Left, Sissi, No. 10, maneuvered a shot on goal against Kristin Lilly, No. 13, on Sunday at Spartan Sta-dium. Sissi, from Esplanada, Brazil, has played in all three Women’s World Cups and both Olympics women’s soccer tournaments for Brazil.

Spartans go head-to-head in spring ball exhibition By Julian J. Ratno

DAILY STAFF WRITER

If the excitement and opti-mism of the players, coaches, friends, family and fans of the Spartan football team at the 2001 spring football game are any indication of the upcoming season, it will be a memorable one.

With the buzz around new head coach Fitz Hill and the return of Heisman Trophy can-didate Deonce Whitaker, hopes are higher than ever, and Hill said he is up to the challenge.

"I came here with great expectations," Hill said. "To win the WAC (Western Athletic Con-ference) and graduate players."

The game was preceded by a barbecue and autograph session. Players and coaches mingled with family and friends on the team’s practice field across from Spartan Stadium.

"We are up-close and person-al," Hill said. "We want them to be a part of our program."

The most popular player by far was Whitaker, who last sea-son set a San Jose State Univer-sity single-season record with 1,577 yards rushing, despite missing two games to injury. The

tailback from Pomona also fin-ished the season among the top three rushers in average yards per game in the nation.

Last season, the Spartans tal-lied a 7-5 overall record and 5-3 record in the WAC, which includ-ed a 37-6 loss in the final game of the season at home to Fresno State University, ending the team’s hopes of a bowl appear-ance.

"We let a bowl game slip through our fingers," Whitaker said. "We will hold on to it this year."

Entering his last season at SJSU, Whitaker said Hill instilled in him the importance to graduate and to have fun on the field.

"He’s made it high-school fun," Whitaker said.

Whitaker said being a Heis-man candidate won’t change his approach to playing and that he will do his best regardless.

Returning to the Spartan offense along with Whitaker are tailback Jamar Julien, wide receiver Casey Le Blanc and quarterback Marcus Arroyo.

On the defensive side, the losses of linebackers Josh Parry and Ron Ockimey to the Nation-al Football League have left gaps

in what was one of the lowest-ranked defenses in the nation.

One of the players ready to step up is Patrick Battle.

The senior linebacker said the defense will be more aggressive than in past seasons under new defensive coordinator Ron Lee.

"We have worked on every lit-tle aspect," Battle said. "We know what to do in every situa-tion."

Lee comes to SJSU after eight years at Colorado State Univer-sity, where he was the secondary and defensive backs coach.

Lee said he met Hill in 1991 and stayed in contact with him since then. After Hill’s hiring, all it took was a phone call from Hill for Lee to join his staff, he said.

Lee said there are three important principles on defense: One, stop the run; two, allow no big plays and three, create turnovers.

To accomplish those goals, Lee said he has simplified the defense and that preparation will be the key to any success.

"To be WAC champs, you have to do the little things," Lee said.

After the pre-game events, the team assembled on the field, and Hill addressed the hundreds packed into the grandstand and

lawn area Hill spoke of his vision of a

sold -out Spartan Stadium for every game and a winner on the field for SJSU.

Beginning with seniors, every player introduced himself Hill then introduced his coaching staff and a surprise visitor: Neil Parry.

Parry, who had part of his right leg amputated following a compound fracture sustained during an Oct. 14 game against the University of Texas-El Paso, was greeted with a standing ovatation.

"If feels good to be back," Parry said."’ was sick of being in the hospital."

After spending five months in the hospital, Parry said he has been working out three days a week running on a treadmill and getting back to normal life with a prosthetic.

Although he may not be ready to take the field, Parry, wearing street clothes, said he will attempt to come back to the team in the fall.

Parry said his brother, Josh, the Spartans’ leading tackler last season, was in Philadelphia. Josh signed with the Eagles last week, following the NFL draft.

"He’s excited that he got a shot," Parry said. "He can play the game."

Among the fions in attendance was SJSU president Robert Caret. Caret said Hill has all the qualifications and character for a great coach.

"He’s young, energetic and passionate," Caret said.

The full -contact scrimmage lasted about an hour, with the No. 1 offense taking on the No. 2 defense and the No. 1 defense taking on the No. 2 offense. The offensive squad wore white jer-seys, and thp defensive squad wore blue jerseys.

Less than halfway through the 47 -play scrimmage, Whitak-er thrilled the spectators with a 60-yard scamper on a screen pass from Arroyo that set up a 1 -

yard Julien touchdown. Overall, two touchdowns were

scored and four field goals were kicked through the uprights.

To finish their last spring practice, the players again assembled in front of the grand-stand and sang the Spartan fight song in unison.

The Fitz Hill era at SJSU is scheduled to kick off Sept. 1 in Los Angeles against the Univer-sity of Southern California.

"I’m looking forward to it," Hill said. "I dream about it every night."

Friday. The event was sponsored by members of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan.

RAZA: Students attended workshops dispelling myths about historical events � �� lowed from Page 1

,aid Cesar Tlilcoatl Velasquez, interim assistant director of Upward Bound.

"We want to expose them to things they don’t necessarily hear in high school," Velasquez said.

The central theme of the 26 different workshops focused on Chicana empowerment, revi-sionist history and dispelling stereotypes.

Jose Gonzalez, a student in the teaching credential and Mexican-American graduate programs, said students who attended the "Lies my tea,cher told me: Chicano high school experience" workshop were asked to bring up stereotypes in reference to Mexicans.

Gonzalez said the students responded: "They are lazy and don’t value education. They are not good enough to go to college. They are a bunch of gangbangers."

The high school students were aware of the myths and general negative perceptions about t rao Gonzalez said.

Citing the Mexican Consti-tution, Gonzalez said that Mexicans were guaranteed the right to free educat ion in 1917

The importance of educa-tion is paramount, he said.

"Our parents remind us how important it is," Gonzalez said.

Still, a large portion of Chi-cano students is being pushed out of school, he said.

"The traditional curriculum throughout elementary, junior high and high school (teaches) students to obey rules and not question rules," said Larry Gamino, a SJSU student in the teaching credential and graduate programs.

In an environment where teachers and textbooks edu-cate as if it were a one-way street, students are not taught how to use critical thinking skills, Gamino said.

Classes are taught in a European perspective, he said, referring to what he calls per-petrated myths in history.

"We are taught that Christopher Columbus wanted to prove that the world was round, when what he wanted was to enrich himself with gold and conquest," Gamino said. "They forget that there is a multicultural community that can bring balance if used properly. Textbooks don’t use the backgrounds of the stu-dents. Instead. thev exclude

students of color." Gonzalez said he found that

although students said they enjoyed elementary school, the same could not be said about the years between junior high and high school.

Some students said they had boring classes and uncar-ing high school teachers, "Gon-zalez said.

"The truth may be that Chi-cano education may not be properly assessed. For some, the school material may be too easy, and for others, it may be too difficult," Gonzalez said. "The result is that students get pushed out."

Workshops dedicated to female students were neces-sary to lend them support, said Corina Herrera, co-chair of the conference.

"A lot of times, the emphasis is placed on the hombre (man)," Herrera said. "Chi-canas and Latinas can also become professionals. ... We need more mujeres (women) empowered to feel that they can do it."

The potential college-bound students, however, did not just delve into serious matters.

They were also entertained during lunch hours by musical bands at the Student Union

Amphitheater. Heads nodded. Shoulders

jerked. And a soft intonation could be heard accompanying the resonant voice of Grupo Adelante’s lead singer Christi-na Saucedo as she belted out a wide range of Latin-flavored songs.

From Celia Cruz’s Afro-Cuban rhythms to Colombia’s "La Mucura," or the ceramic vase, the students followed the beat of the maracas and drums.

They clapped as Saucedo sang one of Tex-Mex queen Selena’s signature songs, "Biribiribamba," a phrase that mimics a heartbeat.

"Que viva la raza � asi me gusta," she said, a phrase in Spanish, which roughly trans-lates to "Long live the race � that’s how I like it."

Saucedo, a SJSU nursing student, said she hoped the students would feel motivated to attend college.

"When I attended a La Raza workshop, I got a good glimpse of what higher education could

SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY - SPARTAN DAILY

BULLETS: A.S. president-elect read

a poem about a ’shady’ acquaintance � continued from Page 1

"I totally like it," she said. "San Jose totally needs stuff like this."

Maribel Martinez is another � member of Women’s Wonder.

She said that what she wrote was more her rambling on and on rather than a poem.

But others thought it was meant for the open mic.

Martinez’s first poem, titled "Me and Them," talked about life and how the world is too much to watch. But it was her second poem that caught the audience’s attention.

The A.S. president-elect said those who were involved in the election process knew what she meant in her poem, but for those who didn’t, she said to attend one of the A.S. meetings held every Wednesday to find out.

The poem addressed one per-son, who Martinez said is not the puppet master he thinks he is.

"You’re so shady," was one line Martinez repeated throughout her poem.

Martinez closed her poem by saying that she is a lady and won’t stoop to his standards.

The man Martinez talked about in her poem, however, was-n’t the only male who was a sub-ject of annoyance.

Three men dressed in suits sat at a table about 10 feet away from the stage, drinking beer and causing a ruckus.

The loud voices led one girl to ask them to quiet down, but they said they had every right to stay put.

Toward the end of the night, the group moved away, but they did not leave.

The show went on as planned, but not all those who signed up could take the mic, because the

cafe had to close at 9 p.m. The night ended with Aquar-

ius Rougely. The junior interior design

major said she felt a little intim-idated reciting her millennium-bug-inspired poem, "Year 2 Know," because she simply read her poem rather than reciting it in an entertaining form.

"My style is a little bit differ-ent," Rougely said. "I was inspired by things that make you go %mum.’ "

The audience had a good atti-tude for all the performers and clapped for a job well done.

One of Rougely’s biggest sup-porters was freshman Jacquelyn Braun.

"Considering she is my best friend, I completely support her," Braun said. "It’s incredibly important to be knowledgeable - reading poetry about knowledge at school reminds you of why you came."

Despite the fact that it was still a normal day with espresso machines working and people coming in and out of the build-ing, the open mic event seemed to please all members of the audience.

Tomas Riley, a member of Taco Shop Poets, attended the event as a fan of poetry.

"From a male perspective, it makes me feel as much of an ally as I can," Riley said. "I appreci-ate power in any form, especial-ly from people that are mistreat-ed."

Pascual Mendivil said he was-n’t from SJSU but that he enjoyed the showcase of perform-ers.

"I thought it was great. I thought they all had a lot of tal-ent," Mendivil said. "But besides that, there was a thread of peo-ple writing from the heart."

Robotic probe phones home after long silence

ASSOCIAlED PRESS

NASA scientists said Sunday they have contacted the Pioneer 10 spacecraft, ending fears that the robotic probe had gone silent 29 years into a mission that has carried it more than 7 billion miles from Earth.

A radio antenna outside Madrid received a signal from Pio-neer 10 on Saturday, marking the first time the spacecraft had been heard from since Aug. 19. The spacecraft was launched March 2, 1972.

"Pioneer 10 lives on," Pioneer project manager Larry Lasher said in a status report posted Sun-day on the mission’s Web site.

Pioneer 10 was the first space-craft to pass through the asteroid belt and the first to obtain close-up images of Jupiter. In 1983, it becrune the first man-made object to leave the solar system when it passed the orbit of distant Pluto.

The spacecraft is currently 7.29 billion miles from Earth, traveling at 27,380 mph relative to the sun. At that distance, radio signals take 21 hours and 45 minutes to make the roundtrip between the Earth and the spacecraft.

The Pioneer 10 mission came

to a formal close in 1997, but the probe had remained in fairly reg-ular contact with Earth, returning limited scientific data before going silent in August.

Picking out the faint signal of the spacecraft’s eight-watt trans-mitter put the National Aeronau-tics and Space Administration’s international network of anten-nas to the test. Further communi-cations with Pioneer likely will remain difficult, because engi-neers can contact the spacecraft only by first beaming signals to it.

"In order (for Pioneer 10) to talk to us, we need to talk to it," said Ric Campo, the mission’s chief flight controller.

Even in silence, the spacecraft will continue its steady voyage toward the constellation Taurus. It should pass one of the stars in the constellation more than 2 mil-lion years from now.

The spacecraft carries a gold anodized plaque engraved with message of goodwill mid a map showing the Earth’s location with-in the solar system.

NASA’s oldest operating space-craft is Pioneer 6, which scientists contacted in December to mark the 35th anniversary of its launch.

San Jose State Univer-sity President Robert Caret, second from left, reviews the judges’ awards with, left to right, his wife, Liz Zoltan, hospitality management Director Kate Sullivan and awards coordi-nator Particia Schreier before presenting them to the winning ven-dors at the 10th annual International Hospitality Cel-ebration. The event was held Thursday night at San Jose’s Tech Museum of Innovation.

HOSPITALITY: Money raised goes to the hospitality department and scholarship funds � continued from Page I

the event held a silent auction to raise money.

"All the items from the silent auction were donated from different contributors and are awarded to the highest bidders," said Monica Bow-man, a senior hospitality manage-ment major. "The money goes to the hospitality department and scholar-ship funds."

Some of the items auctioned included pre-planned trips. such as hotel stays and passes to Disneyland.

The auction items and vendors were the result of months of plan-ning and preparation, she said.

Organizers of the event said they believed it was a group effort, utiliz-

ing every person. "It’s an effort that started over 10

years ago, and every year it improves," said Steve Cohen, a senior hospitality management major, who was the operations manger for the event. "This is a community effort, which really rep-resents the whole hospitality department."

The event also gave the program a chance to let people know about the program and show its growth, said Jenny Ferreira, a senior hospi-tality management major, who was helping out.

"We’re trying to promote the department and help attract more students to the major," Ferreira said. "It also promotes the comma-

nity establishments." The program also raised money

with a different type of contest. Keys were sold for $10, which

gave key-holders a chance to open a lock and win a goodie basket with nearly $900 worth of prizes. How said.

The event brought out more guests than any of the previous years, according to Sullivan.

The expansion to three floors of the Tech Museum of Innovation and the attendance of nearly 900 people showed the program’s growth since the first celebration 10 years ago. Sullivan said.

The number of guests has risen to more than double the amount in previous years, Sullivan said.

Many attending were proud of the progress the program has made over the last 10 years.

"We started at the Convention Center, with a dozen vendors," said Mike Ego. dean of the College of Applied Arts and Sciences. "The growth has been phenomenal."

The night came to a close with the announcements of the people’s choice awards. The guests had a chance to vote on their favorite foods, desserts, wine and beer. &NU President Robert Caret announced the %%Inners.

Overall, the night was a huge success, Sullivan said.

"Tonight is basically a night out for the hospitality industry." Bow-man said.

RESCUE: Paramedics

said victims would not have survived without help � continued from Page I

At first, Heim said, Adams put both vic-tims on his surfboard, but the boat began moving toward them, so Mundell pulled Bill Jordan onto his board. They all paddled back together.

Heim called 911 on his cell phone as soon as the five students got the couple back to shore.

The woman had swallowed a lot of sea-water during the accident, Heim said, so Adams performed the Heimlich maneuver to induce vomiting.

According to Heim, paramedics said the victims wouldn’t have survived if the surfers had not rescued them.

The couple was treated on the beach by paramedics, and then taken to the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital.

"The way it was that morning, we were the only ones on the beach," Heim said. "It was just a good thing that we were there."

Kenneth Coale, the acting director of the lab and adviser to the students, said he did-n’t witness the rescue, but he did see the heroes afterward.

Two scruffy chemical oceanography stu-dents, Haskins and Heim, who Coale calls the "lab rats of our lab," came into his office, wwohricryh. Coale said gave him a reason to

"Pacing and looking at the floor, I won-dered what was up," Coale said. "A smile broke on their faces."

After a short pause, Haskins and Heim told their adviser how they had rescued the couple.

The couple was fortunate that surfers were around when they were, Coale said.

"The boat immediately capsized. The woman aboard sustained a blow to her neck, and the man may have broken some ribs," Coale said. "Shock, cold and the weight of their clothes ino lifejackets) contributed to the danger of their situation."

Coale said Haskins has been in contact with the Jordans, and he’s been told they are in good health.
