The Strategic Planning Initiative is a massive undertaking currently being planned and implemented by De Anza staff, faculty and administration. Initiative planners foresee that if methods of recruiting and reform do not change, De Anza College will not be able to maintain its previous standard as a sought after school and will not be adequately prepared for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A strategic review of our priorities and goals is provoked not only by the immediate changes in the external environment, but by the belief that our current enrollment and funding dilemmas are not momentary lapses of an otherwise happy storyâ&#x20AC;? reads a passage from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Case for Planningâ&#x20AC;? a proposal for The Strategic Planning Initiative found on De Anzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web page.

The initiative is fueled by a $2.4 million grant from the FHDA School District. The grant is to be disbursed over three years.

The initiative is divided into four segments outreach, individualized attention to student retention and success, cultural competence and community collaborations.

According to Kathleen Moberg, dean of Admissions and Records, the Outreach Team has primarily targeted East and South San Jose for recruiting.

Previous yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demographics have indicated that the De Anza Student population did not accurately represent Philipino, Latino and African American communities. By recruiting ethnic groups not well represented

The Individualized Attention to Student Retention and Success Team is charged with the job of creating an environment where certain student populations that historically underperformed, could succeed and even thrive academically.

Furthermore, by identifyLQJ VWXGHQWV KDYLQJ GLIÂżFXOWLHV HDUO\ possibilities of student retention are increased.

As a member of the Cultural Competence Team, Marion Winters said that her primary goal is training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually training the faculty, staff and students to be more culturally understanding, to develop abilities and knowledge around cultural differences, and help utilize that knowledge in a way that is going to be able to retain students. That will help students to be more successful, and will give us the ability work together in a global society.â&#x20AC;?

Adressing communication about cultural diversity, the Cultural Competence Team is promoting a more culturally aware staff and student body.

Calif. bill to limit campus credit card marketing awaits ?gn& k ka_fYlmj] Asaf Shalev U-WIRE

A bill passed by the California State Legislature last month, now pending approval by the governor, aims to curb credit card marketing to college students, who are increasingly weighed down by debt.

If signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the law will prohibit credit card companies from giving JLIWV WR VWXGHQWV ZKR ÂżOO RXW FDUG applications on public campuses.

It would also require campuses to disclose credit card marketing agreements made with banks or RWKHU ÂżQDQFLDO LQVWLWXWLRQV â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to stop predatory marketing by credit card companies,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Vaeth, director of special projects for the Greenlining Institute, a sponsor of the bill.

The bill, written by Assemblymember Joe Coto, D-San Jose, will automatically become law if the governor does not make a decision on it by Oct. 14.

Schwarzenegger has not yet taken a position, according to Gena Grebitus, spokesperson for the governor.

Magda Litton, a 10 year De Anza student, cut a ribbon dedicating her red, geometric steel sculpture, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trinom,â&#x20AC;? last Tuesday morning on the grass in front of Flint Center, with De Anza President, Brian Murphy, presiding.

Magda Litton, her husband Bill Litton and retired art teacher Mark Cooper worked together on the sculpture during the two hottest weeks in June.

Bill Litton, being an engineer helped Magda Litton to construct her design.

Magda Litton had to wait four years to build Trinom because she was waiting for the entrance to be redesigned.

Al Rutner , who is on the art on campus committee said the reason they

Despite fears of economic hardship, members of Save the Bay succeeded in convincing the Berkeley City Council in 1963 to scrap their expansion plan.

But the members of Save the Bay feared that the bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health could not be preserved unless action was taken on a state level.

This led to what McLaughlin called one of Save the Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest victories, the passage of the McAteer-Petris Act in 1965.

At the time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there was no Environmental Protection Agency, nothing,â&#x20AC;? McLaughlin said.

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success showed people around the country that environmental change was possible, Travis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is an overstatement to say that had the three women not done what they did, America would look remarkably different,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That proved that you could do thisthat American democracy could work.â&#x20AC;?

McLaughlin said one of the primary causes of positive change has been the shift in the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude towards the environment from the early days of Save the Bay until now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen) gradual change -maybe we helped start the change,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Punk Rock 101: In 1976, Susan Ballion of Bromley, England (whom you know as Siouxsie Sioux â&#x20AC;&#x201C; formerly of Siouxsie and the Banshees and later The Creatures) launched a career spanning four decades, blazing the way for the likes of PJ Harvey, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Shirley Manson of Garbage.

So when you delve into the enchanted world of Siouxsieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psyche via this remark-

Rising from the aftermath of her divorce from Banshees drummer and Creatures collaborator Budgie, and boasting ancient scars earned from 50 years of hardcore living, Siouxsie bursts into her solo debut with a proclamation of rebirth in the hot track â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into a Swan.â&#x20AC;? Channeling Marlene Diet-

In a stunner of a climax, Siouxsie absolutely bludgeons with the soul-wrenching ballad â&#x20AC;&#x153;If It Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Kill You,â&#x20AC;? a masterpiece that will leave you obliterated. Another standout is the gothic-pop ditty â&#x20AC;&#x153;About to Happen,â&#x20AC;? reminiscent of early Devo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drone Zone,â&#x20AC;? chimes in as an avant-garde, poetic commentary on the mindless droning of daily life in modern consumerist society, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea of Tranquilityâ&#x20AC;? provides a lush gothic landscape to dream upon and JHW ORVW LQ ,Q D ÂżQDO H[DFWLQJ EORZ EUXtally truthful lyrics stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in love with the idea of me,â&#x20AC;? in the ballad â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heaven DQG $OFKHP\´ EULQJ GRZQ D NLOOHU ÂżQDOH +HU GHÂżDQW IUHHGRP RI VW\OH QHZO\ UHinvented and entirely unhampered by the dictates of the status quo, mingles jazz (a la Shirley Bassey) and classic cabaret with industrial glam punk and a steady dose of the relentless, grinding feedback, percussive mayhem and slash and burn guitars that Siouxsie is famous for.

With the albatross of expectations hovering over the infamously coiffed head of this veteran glam- punk icon, releasing a solo album was a monster feat.

On October 20th and 21st, take a drive DQG DWWHQG WKH ÂżUVW 0RQWHUH\ 0XVLF 6XPmit. This two-day event will feature some of the most popular acts in music today from every end of the musical spectrum, such as The Roots, Cake, Brandi Carlile, Colbie Caillat and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

The Roots and Cake are internationally acclaimed, and upcoming songstress Colbie Caillat presently boasts the fourth biggest single on I-tunes with her song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bubblyâ&#x20AC;?, which has recently been all over local radio stations, as well.

Brandi Carlile you may remember from her recent stop in our area for downtown San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular summer music series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music in the Park,â&#x20AC;? and has recently been doing some chart rising of her own with the hit single â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Story.â&#x20AC;?

Other performances include MiFKDHO )UDQWL DQG 6SHDUKHDG * /RYH DQG 6SHFLDO 6DXFH 7HD /HDI *UHHQ -HVsie Baylin, Ian Ball and Zap Mama.

This is one festival you can pat yourself on the back for being a part of.
