Violence may desensitize kids By Karen Kabiling

DAII \ STAFF WRITER

Mark Bathgate said music influences the way he talks and dresses, however, it doesn’t affect the way he acts.

Dressed in a brightly-colored buttoned-down shirt and baggy jeans, Mark, a junior at Indepen-dence High School, said that some music he listens to influences peo-ple by superficial means.

He said rappers, such as Jay-Z, have swayed many people with what clothing to wear as well as the purchase of frivolous items such as cell phones and pagers.

Extra seminar offered in fall

By Erik Anderson s. Si \ i()R si �i) Wiurik

The Academic Senate endorsed the introduction of a new fresh-man seminar course aimed at increasing freshman retention lev-els Monday.

Student reactions to the idea. however, appeared lukewarm.

"It just an extra course you’d have to take," said Hai Quach, a mechanical engineering senior.

Although he started at the uni-versity as a freshman, Quach said he thought that the general educa-tion courses prepared students just as well as the proposed course would.

The new course, scheduled to begin in fall 2002, would be offered as part of the Provost’s proposed metropolitan university scholar’s experience program, said Sue Mal-loy, chairwoman of the instruction and student affairs committee. who introduced the resolution.

Classes or seminars would be limited to 15 students each and would be run by the best teachers on campus, said Susan McClory. coordinator of developmental mathematics and computer sci -

Cherrie Lakey said most people don’t look at San Jose as an artistic venue.

AA one-half of the graphic design company Two Fish Design Group, Lakey said people interested in art can participate in an event to get their work on public display.

Whether it’s by paint, sculpture, metal work, robotics or textiles, all artists will be able to decorate fiberglass sharks at San Jose’s largest public-art exhibit, Shark-Byte, which is scheduled to be dis-played throughout downtown San Jose.

"We love working with artists, and we thought it’s a great event to get them out there," Lakey said.

Are our children

OUT OF CONTROL? A Spartan Daily Special Report

Part three of five

"It makes them cool," Mark said. "It influences the way people dress."

With the growing concern of vio-lent acts among America’s youth, the debate arguing whether the entertainment industry holds any responsibility for the recent num-

ber of school shootings continues: Are kids desensitized by violent images?

William Tillinghast, a professor in San Jose State University’s jour-nalism and mass communications department, said children are more exposed to television nowa-

days. By the time kids start attending

kindergarten, most have already spent more time watching TV than with their fathers, Tillinghast said.

He added that by the time they graduate from high school, chil-dren have probably watched more than 1,500 hours of television and viewed about 40,000 homicides.

Tillinghast said children spend more time watching television than they do at school.

"It’s a better teacher than school," he said. "It can teach good values, and it can teach bad val-ues."

For some people, Tillinghast

said aggressive behavior has a direct correlation with television viewing.

It portrays heroes, such as John Wayne, using brutality in a posi-tive way.

"If violence is shown as the solu-tion," Tillinghast said, "then they will become more aggressive."

Elena Maw, a professor in the psychology department, said research supports the increasing aggression among children in the end result from media violence.

In Albert Bandura’s classic study, he tested how children

Pedro Sanchez said he has want-ed to be a police officer since he was a child.

Tuesday, the freshman majoring in mechanical engineering and minoring in administration of jus-tice, had the opportunity to find out what it took to be one.

Sanchez was one of the many administration of justice students who had the opportunity to net-work during a career fair at San Jose State University that featured law enforcement agencies, local police officers, FBI officials, Drug Enforcment Administration recruiting officials and others.

SJSU’s department of adminis-tration of justice organized the career fair and set up booths from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the barbecue area of the Spartan Complex.

The idea of the event was to give students the opportunity to find an internship or future employment in the field, said Jan Hagemann, an instructor of the administration of justice department.

Hagemann said a lot of students want to be police officers or do police work, but they don’t really get the opportunity to talk to experts on the field and ask ques-tions.

The fair gave students that chance, she said.

"It’s a great opportunity for stu-dents to network with all these dif-ferent agencies and is a great opportunity for the agencies to talk to students who are looking within this field for a career," Hagenman said.

Tony Lopez, a lieutenant for Mountain View Police Department, said the fair gave employers the opportunity to show what positions are available and to help some of the students who are interested in full-time criminal justice careers or part-time jobs.

"The fair gives students a selec-tion and offers them a variety of what they could do with their future careers," Lopez said.

According to Lopez, the Moun-tain View Police Department is a community-oriented organization and is looking for employees or interns.

Fair raises health issues, options to students on campus 13) N ’Man liejarin

DAILY STAFF WRITER

When asked what her purpose was for coming to San Jose State University, JoAnn Johnson, a phle-botomist, said, "We’re trying to save lives."

Natasha Franklin, a junior recreation studies major, sat calm-ly and quietly as Johnson extract-ed blood from her arm. Franklin said Hector Alarcon, one of the coordinators of the Spring 2001 Health Fair, referred her to the National Marrow Donor Program table.

The Bone Marrow Program was one of the numerous health orga-nizations present from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Student Union on Mon-day.

Other organizations included Santa Clara County Social Ser-vices Department, Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital, YWCA Rape Crisis Center and the SJSU Health Center.

As an African American, Franklin said she understood the importance for ethnic groups to donate blood.

"I had a nephew who died of leukemia," she said.

After she obtains her degree, Franklin said she plans to work with children.

"I might be working with a child who has leukemia," Franklin said. "I plan to coordinate a health festival like this one to enlighten parents about health risks. We have to be educated about these medical issues."

According to Johnson, during the four hours, seven people came to donate blood. She said she also gives out informational pamphlets targeting five ethnic groups: Asian or Pacific Islanders, American Indians, Alaskan natives, African

Americans and Latinos. "These are the ethnicities

whose numbers need to be raised at the National Marrow Donor Program," Johnson said.

Percentage-wise, Johnson said out of the four million people on their Stanford Medical School Blood Center list, two million are Caucasian, while the other two million are made up of various ethnicities.

Caucasian have a 90 percent chance of finding a matching blood donor while the five ethnic groups have a 30 percent to 40 percent chance of finding a donor.

Nicole Marie Morrow, an admis-sions representative from Bryman College, was also available to edu-cate interested students about the college’s dental assisting, medical administrative assisting and med-ical assisting programs.

"A lot of people want to work right away," Morrow said. "There’s seven months of class, an extern -ship and job placement."

SAN JOSE. STATE UNIVERSITY

OPPOSIN Is it fair for t he FBI to eavddrop on suspected criminals through the Internet?

’VIEWS There is good reason for the FBI to track information of wrongdoers The

FBI has the right to use whatever methods avail-able to monitor people suspected of a crime or who have committed a crime. The Bureau has always

tapped phone lines and recorded conversations from poten-tial suspects, but their "Carnivore" e-mail monitoring sys-tem has left a bad taste in the mouths of civil liberties

groups. According to an Asso-

ciated Press report, these groups think that Carnivore collects too much information and puts ordinary citizens at risk.

Well, as long as ordi-nary citizens aren’t planning on blowing something up or smug-

gling cocaine into the country, I don’t think they have much to worry about.

Last month, documents obtained from the FBI by the Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act, showed how the FBI is using its Carnivore mon-itoring system.

The documents said that the FBI has used the sys-tem to track drug dealers, fugitives, terrorists, pedophiles, computer hackers and suspected foreign

spies. Donald M. Kerr,

assistant director of the laboratory division for the FBI, released a congressional state-ment to the United States Senate earlier this year. It stated that every FBI investiga tion involving electronic surveillance are approved, monitored and overseen every step of the way by both the local United States Attorney’s Office and the appropri-ate U.S. District Court Judge.

The statement also noted that for more than three decades, FBI electronic monitoring

has been closely supervised by the U.S. Department of Justice, and there has never been any indication of abuse.

A detailed description of how Carnivore is used is posted on the FBI’s Web site. It states that applications for electronic surveillance must demonstrate probable cause and specify the offenses) being committed, the place where the communications are to be intercepted and the identities of the persons committing the offenses.

Because of this, the site stated that criminal electronic surveillance laws focus on gath-ering hard evidence � not intelligence.

The document stated that electronic surveillance has helped convict more than 25,600 dangerous felons during the last 13 years.

The development of Carnivore has given the FBI a more effective way of retrieving com-munications from suspects, while ignoring those they are not authorized to intercept. Car nivore is programmed to only intercept messages from a named suspect.

Last November, CNN wire services reported that the U.S. Department ofJustice released a draft that reviewed Carnivore and found that it did not invade privacy.

The Illinois Institute of Technology Research prepared the report, and it found Carnivore to provide no more information than is permitted by a given court order.

In short, the FBI does not excessively collect information. I don’t think the FBI has any reason to monitor random e-mails from just anybody, in the

same manner that it doesn’t make sense to monitor every phone call. But when there is reason to believe that a person or group is planning a criminal act, then

I support the use of Carnivore or any other device to apprehend them. The FBI reported that it recently uncovered a plot from a terrorist group that planned to

break into National Guard armories to steal explosives. The group planned to simultaneously destroy multiple power transmission facilities in

the southern United States. As the investigation closed, computer evidence revealed that the group had been

downloading information about Ricon, the third most deadly toxin in the world. In 1995, a program was designed to stop sexual exploitation of children on the

Internet. It has led the FBI to investigations of almost 800 cases involving adults traveling to

other states to meet minors for illegal, and often violent, sexual activity. The program has also investigated more than 1,850 cases of people exchanging child pornog-

raphy. If the FBI has reason to believe a terrorist group is planning some sort of attack, it should have the

right to obtain information in any way possible to prevent it from happening, under the stringent guide-lines of the law.

The same applies to a pedophile trying to get a date with a 10-year-old.

When there is reason to believe that a person or

group is planning a criminal act, then I

support the use of Carnivore.

TALKING HEADS

"Yes. It’s fair because the FBI

is working for the government.

Their job focuses on safety in

society."

"Yes. They’ve given up their rights by breaking the law."

SPARTAN DAILY

Privacy of individuals is on the line with FBI’s monitoring software

The FBI has gone too far by secretly creating and using the hardware-soft -

ware device called Carnivore to spy on suspected wrongdoers. Communi-cating via the Internet is fundamental today to exchange business and per-

sonal information quickly, and Americans’ constitutional rights are being dis-regarded by the FBI’s software-monitoring programs.

The government is violating the Fourth Amendment of the United

States Constitution. The amendment was written

to give people the right to be secured at home and give citi-zens privacy of their belongings against unreasonable searches and seizures. But Carnivore has broke the Fourth Amendment. It is scanning millions of e-mails per second, tracking instant mes-sages, tracking visits to Web sites and Internet chat sessions, and most people are not even aware of it. Basically, it has unlimited power to spy on almost everyone who has an e-mail account. The greatest capability of the Internet is the fact that it functions

well without the control of any specific person or agency, which has allowed it to flourish as much as it has.

Earthlink, an Internet service provider, was forced to install Carnivore and told ZD Net News that it was worried because "it had no way of knowing

whether Carnivore was limiting its surveillance to the criminal investi-gation at hand or trolling more

broadly." Other Internet service

providers told ZD Net News that serious liability issues await

them if the privacy of their clients who are not connect-ed to an investigation is compromised.

The Libertarian Party, America’s third-largest political organization, which is against Carni-vore, wrote that in a couple of years the phone company, the cable provider, cellular telephones and radio stations could all be part of an Internet service provider where Carnivore is installed. This means the government will have exclusive

control of what the individual is able to watch, say or do while using these teehnologies. WITIrtftrutd=trant the government to know that much information about himself or herself?

In the near future, let’s say a college student is writing a term paper about crime or drugs and uses words such as

addictive behavior, marijuana, cartel or cocaine and search-es the Internet to gather information for his or her project.

This student could possibly find himself or herself being served with a search warrant by the FBI because Carnivore could consider him or her a suspect for dealing

with crime-related terminology. Does anyone want to find themselves in such situation?

Electrical surveillance is dangerous to citizens because it infringes on privacy. What’s worse is that the government is

using taxpayers’ money to electronically spy on Internet users. Carnivore poses an immediate threat to Internet privacy, and it

should be exterminated. The spying device sets a bad pattern. If the FBI could comfortably use

Carnivore today, it may want to monitor postal mail, have a key to every-one’s home and monitor all telephone calls in the near future, just in case they want to investigate a crime.

It’s unsafe to give the FBI a backstage pass to intrude into people’s lives because what’s said, watched or done may be used against innocent individuals.

Illustration by Dawn Bozack

Electrical surveillance is dangerous to citizens because it infringes on privacy.

Our right to privacy and freedom is at risk with Car-nivore.

The government may claim that it is trying to pur-,ue good for all Americans. but it doesn’t always fol-

low rules or respect people’s rights. It corralled Japanese-Americans during

World War II, sold weapons to U.S. enemies in the ’808 and didn’t care about the citizens’ security then.

How can we trust the government now with Carnivore?

Yesenia Santana is a Spartan Daily Staff Writer

Is it fair for the FBI to eavesdrop on suspected criminals through the Internet?

’’No. Because it’s a violation of privacy.You have a right to privacy no matter who you are."

"Yes. Because this way we can prevent them from com-mitting future crimes."

"Yes. If they’re suspected criminals, they should be monitored if there’s suspi-cion."

"It depends on the severity of the crime. They should be able to; it’s their job."

Semester’s end means gifts for all The

end of the semester has come. Seniors will be grad-uating, finals will be taken

and summer break will begin. Keeping with the theme of giv-

ing gifts at the end of the year, I’d like to bestow my fellow Daily editors with gifts of my own.

Gifts that we, fighters of the dark side, need in order to sur-vive.

For the executive editor for-merly known as Mike Osegueda, and now known as M-Oz, I’d give a light saber and a cloak.

This way he can walk around the campus like Obi Wan Kenobi but instead of saying "May the force be with you," he’ll say, "Word is bond, yo."

Just as meaningful, but with the M-Oz touch.

With the light saber he would be able to fight his nemesis, the soon-to-be-gone-leader of the dark side and chop him into pieces.

Although the dark one’s reign is almost over, M-Oz could ensure the safety of the world with one well-placed cut.

For our opinion editor, Minal, I’d give Jedi mind powers.

If she had those powers she’d never be stressed.

If someone was running late on deadline, she could wave her hand in front of his or her face and say, "You will finish your col-umn in 10 minutes," and it would actually happen.

I just hope she doesn’t die of shock the first time it works.

She could also use this for her

classes. Mina! could stroll up to a professor, do the hand-wave thingy once more and say, "You will give me an ’A’ for this class."

And it would happen � of course I’d have to borrow that nifty, little trick five minutes later for my own class troubles, but I’d give it back.

For Monica, our co-production editor, I’d give the power to make M-Oz not swear � I’m sure he’d love this gift, but she’d enjoy it even more.

Maybe one of those black boxes would pop up on his mouth like they do on television.

But I wouldn’t limit her to Mike. She could influence culyone to change his or her ways � whether the person liked it or not.

For Doug, our other co-produc-tion editor, I’d give a special treat: a surround-sound spell checker programmed with both the copy editor’s and my voices to help him spell headlines.

To our sports editor, Ben, I’d give all the baseball cards in the world.

That way, he can sell the ones that are worth money on eBay, which he loves to do, and get rich.

Just for the record, I get 20 percent of all swindlings I mean earnings.

And for the rest of the cards, he could give them to charity.

Every kid should have an autographed Tim Burke baseball card.

For Beau, the arts and enter-tainment editor, backstage tick-ets to all punk rock shows. He really needs it, because Beau is punk rock � there’s no other explanation.

For our photo editor, Chris, I’d give him something he already has but would probably like more of: porn.

Happy days, Chris, happy days.

And for our copy editor, Emily, I’d give her a free lifetime sub-scription to Copy Editor’s Maga-zine along with a set of compact discs of all the great ’80s songs to keep her busy during her intern-ship this summer.

And finally, for Christina, our poor ex-executive editor, I’d give the understanding of film � a deep mastery of the trade � so that she can develop her pictures without having a major catastro-phe worthy of biblical proportions every time.

And for my boyfriend, Mike, I give him this: his name in the paper.

RotAnding third SJSU alumnus battles alcoholism, injuries during 14-year Major League Baseball career

By Ben Aguirre Jr. DARN SIA1F LI)111)14

It’s 2 p.m. on April 15 and the Texas Rangers’ locker room at Network Associates Coliseum is loud with laughter and commen-tary from the baseball game on television.

The players are relaxing before the game.

Ranger players Ruben Mateo, Andres Galarraga, Rafael Palmeiro, Ivan Rodriguez and Alex Rodriguez, speak to each other loudly, often chang-ing the conversation from Spanish to English.

Then Ken Caminiti strolls in.

The 6-foot, 200-pound third base-man enters the room wearing a black-and-yellow checkered sports coat, coinci-dentally the colors of his former team, the Houston Astros, while toting a black rolling piece of lug-gage.

Suddenly, all the commotion stopped.

The five players, who were once bois-terous, are now sub-dued, as if someone had flipped the switch that told them to put their game faces on.

"Hty Cammi," shouts a Texas Ranger teammate, as fie made his way to the trainer’s room to get taped up.

Ken’s only response is a single nod of the head, as he silently makes his way to his locker.

It’s Easter Sunday, and the only sign of Caminiti’s family appears to be his father, Lee Caminiti, who is dressed in a white polo shirt and blue jeans, sipping a "uji oi lee only two feet behind the burly third baseman.

It’s been three minutes since Caminiti entered the clubhouse,

� word I , , F., 0, � ’ ,

-He’d give you the si.irt off back," Lee Caminiti said. "But he’s always been quiet."

Ken was born on April 21, 1963 and grew up in San Jose, Calif , where he attended Long Hill Ele-mentary School, a school that three of his nieces and nephews are currently attending.

It was there that a 6-year-old Caminiti expressed his interest in the American pastime and told his father he wanted to play Lit-tle League baseball.

Lee remembers the time his son almost gave up.

"I remember the first time he got hit (with the ball ), he wanted to quit," his father said. "Then he got hit again and said, ’It didn’t feel too bad.’ "

From Little League baseball to his playing days as a Longhorn at Leigh High School, Ken Camini-ti’s focus remained on baseball.

After learning how to hit from both sides of the plate in high school, he took his talent to San Jose City College. After a year there and a stint in a summer league, he moved on to San Jose

State University. It was at SJSU where he

decided he wanted to become a professional baseball player, Caminiti said.

At SJSU, he played under the tutelage of Gene Menges, Spartan head coach from 1970 to 1986.

Camilla.’ was a tough guy who wasn’t afraid ^f taking a ball off his chest,"no inait.�r how hard the ball was hit," Mt.nges said."He got in front of it and stopped it."

Menges also remembered a

time when Caminiti’s switch-hit-ting skills wowed the crowd.

"I remember a time when we were playing Stanford," he said. ’They had a right-handed pitcher on the mound, so Ken decided to bat left-handed. He hit the ball over the oak tree in right field.

"Later in the game, they came back with a right�handed pitcher, and he hit the hall into the soccer

right side of the

After Caminiti’s performance, Menges said someone sent the SJSU baseball program $100 with a note attached. The mes-sage: "That is the type of baseball I like to see."

Menges doesn’t talce credit for Caminiti’s success.

"I’m looking at a full color pic-ture of him (Caminiti) right now," Menges said. "It says, ’Coach, thank you for getting me to the big leagues.’

"Hell, I didn’t have anything to do with it," Menges joked.

After playing two seasons with the Spartans in 1983 and 1984, Caminiti was named to the Sport-ing News College All-American team as a third baseman. Then he was drafted by the Houston Astros.

His father said that the family was thinking he would be drafted by the Rangers, because a family friend was a scout and was push-ing for Texas, but the elder Caminiti said he was surprised to hear the Astros had selected his son in the third round.

Before that, Caminiti spent -

two-and-a-half seasons in Hous-ton’s minor league organization before getting his big break July 16, 1987 against the Philadelphia Phil lies.

"lArhen he first came up with Houston, that was a great day," Lee said. "In fact, he called me at work and said, ’Hey Dad, I’m going up to the majors after the All-Star break.’ "

Lee Caminiti didn’t get a chance to watch his son’s first professional game live because he

didn’t have a satel-lite dish, but he received constant updates from his co-worker, who was in Houston that day.

"He called me between innings to let me know what Ken was doing," Lee said. His friend was taping the game for him as well.

"Every now and then, I pull that tape out and watch it," he said. "It was a great game. He made some nice plays at third base and hit a triple."

Caminiti won player of the week honors in his first week in the majors, but it wasn’t until he was traded to the San Diego Padres eight years later that he began to blossom.

In his first year with the Padres, Caminiti hit 26-plus home runs and hit a .300 average for the first time in his career.

In 1996, Camini-ti’s career hit its peak. He hit 40

home runs, setting a Padre record that still stands, drove in 130 runs, hit for a career-best .326 average and gave one of the most memorable performances in base-ball history.

It was August raid Caminiti was suffering from heat eichaus-tion, diarrhea and nausea. Doc-tors stuck intravenous tubes in him to keep him from pass’’, �

Caminiti said he play, so he ripped out the tubes and ate a Snickers bar.

His heroic efforts did not go unnoticed. He hit two home runs, which lifted the Padres to victory, before leaving the game in the fifth when doctors stuck the tubes back in him.

"(That) was probably the most impressive thing I’ve ever done in a baseball uniform," he said.

Caminiti continued to perform at top-levels for the next two sea-sons, tabulating 55 home runs, 172 RBI’s and a World Series appearance.

But everything wasn’t always perfect for the third baseman.

During his career, Caminiti was plagued by injuries and a battle with alcoholism.

"I’ve had two knee surgeries, two wrist surgeries, three foot surgeries, shoulder surgery, a shoulder that needs surgery and

a broken back.- he said. Off the field, Caminiti has also

been hindered by an addiction to alcohol that he is still trying to fight off.

"Everyone here knows he had a rough time, and he’s trying to deal with them all," said Texas Ranger teammate Kenny Rogers."He’s not a guy who is going to take too many rolls right now."

Caminiti’s father says his son’s bout with alcohol has AfThrted his

caused some problems," Lee said. "But these are things you have to work out day-by-day. The problem he is having right now is that he has three kids � three daughters � and they are coming of age. They understand what is going on."

Caminiti said he calls his chil-dren twice a day and has the names of his three daughters, Kendall. 9, Lindsay, 7, and Nicole,

Ken’s children are his world, Lee Caminiti said.

"The sun rises and sets on his kids," Lee said.

Caminiti’s career appears to be in the twilight hours, but he has concluded that his profession has taken a toll on his family life.

"There is a time when baseball comes to an end and you are needed at home," his father said.

Are our children

OUT OF CONTROL? A Spartan Daily Special Report

would react when they were expo:. -r1 to a man hitting a "Bobo" doll.

The purpose behind the study was to prove whether children would imitate an act of violence if a reward were given afterwards.

They did. "Children are most likely to imi-

tate aggression if they see that form of aggression being reward-ed," Klaw said.

Klaw related Bandura’s study to the recent Columbine shooting.

As exposure to violent acts increases, the likelihood of com-mitting some sort of crime ir creas-es as well, she said.

Studies show that by age 30, the people may become more violent or possibly go to jail when there is constant exposure to violence.

Klaw said parents need to pay attention to what their children are watching - to distinguish between right and wrong.

"Hopefully, parents are there to explain what children are seeing in the world around them and to support the child in whatever feel-ings they have," she said.

Michael Tran, a freshman at Independence High School, said most adults stereotype teens as being followers without a mind of their own.

"I just do what I want to do," Tran said. "I don’t get influenced by TV shows or music � it’s just entertainment."

He said there are other things that influence his life, such as fam-ily and friends.

From a professional and parental point of view, Marquita Byrd, a communication studies professor at SJSU, said she can distinguish what role the media play on children today.

Movies and music do not create the "monster child" who kills, but they do increase the level of toler-ance for violence, Byrd said.

"We’re not shocked by it any-more � we’ve become dehuman-ized," she said.

Although the media contribute to the general tolerance of vio-lence, Byrd said it is not a con-tributing factor behind the recent high school shootings.

Teens simply use the images created by the media as role mod-els, and they incorporate these images into their identity, Byrd said.

It’s the kids who are already troubled emotionally who are trig-gered by music, she said.

"There has to be other issues that influence this child’s choice other than the media: Byrd said.

There are greater influences on children besides the media, such as family, Byrd said.

Times have changed, and Byrd said there has been a greater influ-ence on violence in the media recently.

"The family structure has changed," she said. "They (chil-dren) haven’t found anything to replace the extended family � we have a loss of community."

Byrd said she grew up in Mis-souri where she had close family ties and was instilled with values that many children today are lack-ing.

"Children had a net to hold them afloat," she said. "I didn’t like

it at the time, but I did see the ben-efits."

Now today’s youth are without a net, and they are drowning with-out anything to hold them in place, Byrd said.

Like Klaw, Byrd said she recom-mends media literacy, for kids to understand the difference between movies and reality.

Parents need to watch out for their children.

As a parent, Byrd said she has seen how rap music, which uses a great deal of profanity, reference to sex and violence and disrespect towards women, has a negative impact on her 16-year-old son.

"He doesn’t listen anymore. He gets lost in it," Byrd said. "It becomes their philosophy � their perspective of the world."

Byrd isn’t the only person who worries about today’s youth.

Although her daughter, Sierra, is only 3 years old, Anna Avila, a social work junior at SJSU, said she worries about her daughter’s future.

Avila said she is hesitant to enroll her daughter in the public school system because she doesn’t think it is safe.

"There’s always one screwed-up kid, and teachers have to pay attention to that one kid," Avila said.

Her decision hasn’t been made, but she has already begun taking steps to steer her daughter into the right direction.

"I won’t let her watch adult movies," Avila said. "I don’t even let her listen to the radio � just children songs."

Avila agreed that parents should monitor what their children might be listening to or watching.

"Kids nowadays are more intel-ligent to know better," she said.

Lindsey Ramanis, a sophomore at Independence High School, may be one Avila had in mind.

"I listen to anything and every-thing," Ramanis said. "I don’t criti-cize anything, really."

She said she thinks people blame music and television just because they need to find some-where to place that blame.

"It’s based on how parents treat their kids," Ramanis said. "My par-ents are really strict on me � it’s all about school."

She said she feels fortunate to have parents who care about her future.

"Because of my parents, I’m in school, and I’m focused," Ramanis said.

SHARKS: Four-foot-6-inch fiberglass sharks to be displayed in November

� continued from Page 1

After the huge success of the Cows on Parade in the cities of New York and Chicago, local business-man Joel Wyrick adopted the con-cept and put his own spin on the idea by using sharks, said Shannon Wright, the communications man-ager for SharkByte Art.

Artists will be able to take the life-size fiberglass sharks and transform them into their personal works of art as long as they submit their designs beforehand, Wright

Brian Eder, an art director for SharkByte and member of Two Fish Design Group, said there are two ways to participate in the event.

Interested parties can adopt a shark for $3,000, or they can send in a design concept to be chosen by a company such as Compaq, Knight Ridder, United Parcel Services and Fry’s Electronics to sponsor, Eder said.

"It’s a great opportunity for

artists," he said. "And it’s important to show how many artists there are in this valley."

Design concepts for the 6-foot-long, 4-foot-6-inch-tall sharks are due by May 15.

Online sponsorship applications can be downloaded on the compa-ny’s Web site at www.Shark-ByteArtcom.

The public can also call the 24-hour event hotline at (408) 279-5151.

The San Jose Museum of Art is scheduled to host the Artist Design Showcase on June 7, where design concepts will be displayed for spon-sors to select a design for their shark, Wright said.

A $1,000 honorarium will be given to each SharkByte artist in addition to his or her name men-tioned on a plaque mounted on the base of the shark pedestal and on 250,000 walking maps that will guide sightseers to each shark loca-tion.

Decorated sharks are scheduled to be displayed Aug. 1 and will then be auctioned off in November.

Lackey said 90 percent of the proceeds will benefit nonprofit organizations and art programs.

Wyrick teamed up with Two Fish Design Group to handle the cre-ative side of things, while the San Jose Downtown Association t,00k care of managing the sponsor and

He said they look for people who get involved with their jobs and can offer creative solutions to long-term problems.

Ray Salcido, a senior majoring in administration of justice, was interested in finding an internship because he said he was ready to

graduate this year. Salcido said the event was great

because he was able to gather a lot of information, though he was expecting to meet the Morgan Hill Police Department, which was not there.

"I’m going to meet with San Jose PD right now and see if they can offer me an internship," he said.

Salcido said he hopes to join the marshals in the near future but is open to other options and said he attended the event to see what other alternatives are available for

him. Shannon Thomas, the program

coordinator for the administration of justice department, came up with the idea of organizing the event.

"It was just a great opportunity for students to gather with employ-ers," Thomas said. "This is the first time we’ve done it and from the looks of it - it was a success."

Thomas went on to say the department has plans to organize an annual event similar to Tues-day’s in the years to come.

ence and chairwoman of the stu-dent success committee that helped devise the resolution.

An initial target goal would be for 100 seminars to be taught, she said. Subjects covered in the semi-nar would vary, depending on the professor.

Not all freshmen would take the courses.

Some departments already have their own orientation courses that help tie new students into the San Jose State University, McClo-ry said. Students in those depart-ments may not have the desire or the need.

Fall freshman enrollment has averaged about 2,400 students, she said.

One of the goals of the seminars would be smooth the transition from high school to university set-ting.

Freshmen would learn the skills they need to be effective scholars such note taking, reading texts or researching papers, McClory said.

James Brent, chairman-elect for the senate, said faculty members often encounter students who lack skills, such as researching a paper or not knowing how to write with depth of thought.

Senior graphic design major Peter Estaniel, a transfer student, said although he took a similar freshman seminar as De Anza Col-lege, he wouldn’t v.:ant to repeat the experience as a transfer stu-dent.

"’The last thing I would want is another class, even though it would acclimate me to the univer-sity," he said.

Regarding the course he took at De Anza, Estaniel said teachers had helped students walk through

grams. Kippling said she is target-ing students who are interested in respiratory therapy, one of the 12 programs offered at Foothill.

Kathleen Roe, professor of health and science, said, her stu-dents participated in the event as part of a class project. The stu-dents coordinated with Hector Alarcon from the Stanford Center of Excellence and SJSU’s Health Center to plan the fair. Roe said the goals for the community health fair were to raise aware-ness about health issues affecting students, to bring health resources to campus, to show various oppor-tunities in the health field and to involve students in projects through health services.

Alarcon, one of the event coor-dinators, said students were reeled in by the large dunk tank outside the Student Union. If stu-dents answered the right health questions correctly, they won

prizes and got to see someone get dunked.

This was one way to promote health education, he said.

Despite the bustling crowd of students going from one destina-tion to the next, he said it seemed

like students were disinterested in the activities taking place.

"Most people walked on by," Alacron said. "Maybe they’re too young and don’t care about their health (or they’re) scared of nee-dles."

what units they need and review the courses a student would need to transfer.

Tommy Chang, a senior mechanical engineering major who started at SJSU as a freshman, said that if he were a freshman again, he would not take the semi-nar.

"You don’t need a course to teach you the basics of living on your own," he said.

University President Robert

Caret said in a press conference Tuesday that he was in favor of the new course.

He said was so impressed with the idea that he wouldn’t mind teaching one of the seminars him-self - if his schedule would permit.

Caret said statistics had shown that it was during the first few weelcs that freshmen truly became connected to the university.

"If they don’t, they wash out," he said.

logistical aspects of the project, said Lakey, the artistic director for SharkByte.

She said the reason sharks were chosen for the exhibit was because the creature fit appropriately with a diverse city such as San Jose.

"We are a cultural city, and we do have Shark fans," Lakey said, "although it has an emotional tie to the theme."

The goal is to create San Jose’s largest free public-art display and to raise money for various nonprof-it organizations while adding tourism to downtown San Jose.

"It’s an amazing event where we got corporate sponsors, artists and nonprofit organizations involved," she said. "It’s really a community project."

Lakey said she expects about a million people to view the display of sharks throughout the downtown area.

"Anybody can get involved," Wright said. "There are no restric-tions - anybody can submit as many designs as they wish."

Security tightens in wake of threats on Penn State

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) � Penn State University said Mon-day it will set up metal detectors at entrances to commencement ceremonies this weekend as part of tightened security prompted by death threats against black stu-dents.

The university urged the 6,250 graduates to arrive at least a half-hour early to allow for delays caused by the screening.

"We really want to assure everybody that they can come, they can come safely, and we are very confident that we will have everything in place," university spokeswoman Christy Rambeau said.

University officials previously announced the hiring of addition-al guards for the ceremonies, which run from Friday through Sunday.

Federal investigators are look-ing into threatening letters and e-mails received by some black stu-dents.
