    Bond Game

    Community college district says Measure E should score with voters, but neighbors hear the roar of the crowd


    Teresa Reeve, a sophomore political science and sociology major at West Valley College, says that when she attends her math class in the mornings, she sees a "giant hole" in the ceiling, next to a hanging light fixture. "I'm pretty sure that one of these days, that sucker can come falling down and hurt somebody," she says. Also, she says, classes have had to be cancelled because of leaky roofs. Reeve says that because of the conditions of campus buildings--some of which have existed since the college opened in 1964--she supports Measure E, which is on the March 5 ballot for residents of the West Valley-Mission Community College District.   More
