1. What type of system is used to organize the books in the MLK library? Briefly describe how it works.
The library uses the Dewey Decimal system and the SJSU section uses the Library of Congress system. The Dewey Decimal system organizes the library books on shelves in a specific and repeatable order that makes it easy to find; it also uses call numbers that usually includes what section of the library they are in. The Library of Congress system links us to the government and hundreds of other libraries in the country. All of their books aren’t physically present at the MLK library, but if a student needs a book or other piece of media we can search all the other databases and have one sent to this library within three business days, free of charge.

Advertising Agency, Adweek, Mediaweek, Public Relations Quarterly, Frontline 21.
23. How many art installations are there in the library. Briefly describe your favorite one.
There are 33 (though the website only boasts 30) art installations in the library. My personal favorite has always been the Martin Luther King Jr. section. Since it was named after him, I instinctively checked it out the first time I ever visited the library last year. There is all kinds of paintings and pictures of him. It’s just nice to be surrounded by my favorite U.S. civil rights hero. A lot of people may think that MLK only helped the desegregation of blacks and whites, but without him, I’m not too sure if Asians would have been able to integrate into our county as easily as we did. My favorite piece is the cover of the Time magazine that features the portrait of Dr. King; he looks proud and determined. I think the way they portrayed him represents his positive and socially innovative attitude that he is remembered for.

Blind Computer Tech - Pitch Letter

Dear Editor:
In one of the most boring subjects American society has to offer I found a diamond in the rough. A computer troubleshooting technician who works for Packard Bell can fix almost any computer malfunction or help customers fix them over the phone. He is blind -- sightless since childhood.
It is almost impossible to imagine trying to use a computer without being able to see what you’re doing. Doug Rose, 34, from Thousand Oaks Calif., is a self-taught electronics wizard. He uses special Braille equipment to operate his computer and a voice recognition system to tell him what is on the screen.
In addition to memorizing information that helps him diagnose problems, Rose uses his other senses to identify things. He often discusses certain sounds that a PC makes when helping troubled customers, usually correctly diagnosing the problem.
It is simply amazing and beautiful that a man who is blind has dedicated himself to guiding fully capable people through fixing their electronic devices. It almost seems backwards. He is so talented that the company forwards Rose the customer calls that most of the other technicians have a hard time diagnosing and fixing. Most callers never learn that he is blind.
I have researched the topic and plan to interview Rose and his colleagues to gain first-hand opinions and facts about him. Please let me know if you are interested in this article; I’d be more than happy to write it.
Sincerely,
Justin Riray – San Jose State, Journalism Major

Beer Truck
Word Count: 127
Traffic came to a complete standstill on the Bay Bridge eastbound deck due to a beer truck that caught on fire around 1 p.m. on Monday.
For 45 minutes, drivers were stranded before firefighters put out the flames a little after 2 p.m., though the incident clogged the flow of many Bay Area freeways.
California Highway Patrol Officer Shawn Chase said that the driver of the refrigerator truck carrying Coors beer and didn’t notice that a tire blew out and kept driving. Sparks from the metal rim scraping the road ignited the fire.
All westbound lanes and some of the eastbound lanes were reopened around 2 p.m., but the wreckage wasn’t cleared off the bridge until 5:52 p.m.

I am sitting on the Santa Teresa light rail on a cold, rainy, gloomy afternoon on the way home from class at SJSU. It smells like musty people and damp clothing. The only warmth in the car is from the body heat from the cluster of people standing in in front of me and to my right side. I coughed and noticed my mouth tasted stale; that stagnant, dry saliva you get when you have a cold.
A dark haired teenage girl who is wearing a schoolgirl style sweater and skirt speaks loudly to a normal looking blonde girl with slight acne and straight hair, in a way that sounds like she’s trying too hard to sound interested. I wonder why the hell she is wearing a skirt in this weather, and a few seconds after I catch her confess, “I looked outside the window this morning and was like, oh it’s nice outside and now it’s all raining!”

My Favorite Writing: Build God, Then We'll Talk -PatD

Mass Com 100w - MW 1:30pm-2:45pm
Journal #1 - My Favorite Writing
Pakman7JR@hotmail.com
Word Count: 271 (excluding the lyrics)
Build God, Then We’ll Talk from the album “A Fever you Can’t Sweat Out” by Panic at the Disco (2005) Listen to the Song here
I have always loved Panic at the Disco’s musical style and content and delivery of the lyrics. They are from Vegas, so most of their early music was a rock-techno hybrid about burlesque settings and situations that are normally kept secret from those who should know about it.
This is the last track on their first album and I believe it epitomizes the entire CD. The lyrics cleverly use aesthetic literal phrases and well thought up analogies to describe the night a hooker was busted in the act. It’s great writing because the writer uses very descriptive language to paint the scene and situation for the listener or reader. A good writer’s job is to show, not tell, and Ryan did a great job with his choice of lyrics.
Not only does the song describe a rather risqué event, it also criticizes humanity and how it forces some people to stoop to a lower level just to make ends meet. And it pokes sarcasm at the unfaithfulness of men with high governmental power. The song expresses how rich guys can get away with cheating on their wives because since they have the money, they have the power to do whatever they want.
All these ideas collide in one song. The song is very catchy and becomes even more interesting when you pay close attention to the lyrics, and even closer attention to the double meanings they convey. The way they approach awkward subjects about the flaws of humanity in mainstream music is amazing.
Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing
Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering.
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde,
And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes.
Along with the people inside
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
She's getting a job at the firm come Monday.
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
moonlighting aside, she really needs his money.
Oh, wonderful caricature of intimacy.
And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin"
Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business"
as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before,
after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact.
There was a terrible crash (There was a terrible crash)
Between her and the badge
She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a "purse" of a different kind.
Along with the people inside
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy
There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.
