The rattlesnake "may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. ... She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her."
-- An American Guesser [1775]

SHOCKING COURT RECORDS
"The Complaint contains allegations of misappropriation of student funds and property, illegal fees, abuse of process, and various unconstitutional activities by Defendants with the goal of suppressing dissent and avoiding auditing and oversight by non-conspirators. The Defendants have a history of such activities. The findings of the PERB were that the Santa Monica Community College District, which would include all defendants in this case, were found to have violated state statutes regarding expenditure of funds and activities undertaken to intimidate and suppress the faculty's opposition to the administration."
"Defendants have obtained this control through racketeering activities, including but not limited to: (a) The extortion of property, such as restricted accounts for the defendants' personal use. (b) Robbery or the conversion of Student funds. (c) Bribery of student officials. (d) As well as multiple violations of the Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C. § 1951) that include (i) exerting outside pressure through undue influence and coercision so as to control business decisions, and (ii), the taking of the Student bookstore and other commerce. Defendants' acts of racketeering activity have been unceasing for over fifteen (15) years."

PE Classes Still Open for Fall Semester 2006
Professor Maggie LeDuc is teaching some awesome PE classes that still have openings for fall semester at Santa Monica College. They are as follows:
2374 KIN PE 15A 35 9 ..T.H.. 12:45PM-02:05PM LEDUC M M SPECTRUM
This is a spinning class (cycling) taught at Spectrum gym, near the AET campus. The gym will let you stay afterwards and work out on any of their equipment and weights. They also have a sauna and lockers to use (bring your own lock). This gym is state of the art. There is a separate fee for this class.
2381 KIN PE 19B 35 15 ...W... 12:45PM-03:50PM LEDUC M M TRACK
Hiking class. This is usually at Temescal Canyon. So, you get to be outdoors and lose some weight. Students are usually agreeable to carpooling. Bring water!
2382 KIN PE 19B 35 10 ..T.H.. 05:15PM-06:40PM LEDUC M M TRACK
Body fitness and walking. Take the stress off studying to have some fun.
2352 KIN PE 10 45 17 ..T.H.. 08:00AM-09:20AM LEDUC M M FIT CNTR
This is a general fitness class using stationary bikes and weights as well as various outdoor exercises (track and stadium stairs). Maggie loves to take her students to the beach! You will definitely lose weight if you take this class. She will weigh and measure you and test you at the beginning and end of the semester, so you can see how much you improved. She will also work with your eating habits and make suggestions to help you lose even more weight and feel better.
Maggie is one of the best teachers at SMC. A really caring person. She's going to retire in a year, so now's your chance to take some of her classes. I also took surfing and rock climbing with her and loved them both! If she doesn't get the minimum number of students, these classes will be cancelled, so help her (and yourself) out and take one or two.
For those who were interested in the surfing class, it is confirmed that it will be taught at Santa Monica near the pier.
