As part of the district's latest effort to reduce class sizes, ninth-grade math classes have been cut to a 20-to· 1 stu· dent-co-teacher ratio. "I know it looks like no one's here," Oeatz told his students, who were won- dering why .so many desks were ~mpty. •As you can tell, our class has been reduced." As technology plays a gieater role m the workpldce and society, schools have to do a better job of equipping students with the right math skills, said math teacher Jim Weeks. "Every year, you reqwre more and more math to be successful in our high· tech world,• he said. · At Costa Mesa, two new mdth teachers -DaVJd Sandifer and Harold Jasper - were lured, and nine new math classes have been added to takP advdnldge of the state program, which prQvtdes an additional $135 per student. The district hired 10 credentialed teachers for the class-size-reduction pro: gram. which apply to Algebra 1, Math Topics and Systems, and Basic Math "We lured some real top-notch peo- ple," Superintendent Robert Barbot said . "I'm really pleased with the quality of people we found.• Costa Mesa High counselor Michael diDonato spent much of the past few weeks rearranging the class schedules of about 300 students to implement the new class sizes.· .. Since Newport-Mesa bigb schools already have smaller ninth-grade English classes, the math class reduction is caus- ing a squeeze m available classroom space •space is at a premiwn, • diOonato said. "Some teachers file haVlJlg to be more flexible in changing classrooms through the day.• But diDonato ·said there is evtdence that smaller class sizes have unproved instruction in the English department, because teachers have been able to spend more tune correcting papers and working one·c;m·one with students.

"It'll take three or four years for us to see the beneht of the smaller math dass· ei.," he sa1d. • Weeks said one of the main advan· tagP..s of ma.ller classes is that he'll be able to develop better relationships with his tudents. •When you have 3• students. you don't get to know the students as well,• he said. •nie kids who are extroverts get a lot of attention.

"This scbool is so wonderful it's such a gift to be here," Munoz said. "It's truly a confir· mation of what you expect when you walk onto the school.

Super tired from super hype for a not-so-super Super Bowl . . F ootball fans in the region served by Denver televJS1on (1.e. most of Colorado and sizable portions of Kansas, Wyoming and Nebraska) could hdve watched nearly 15 relent- less hours of Super Bowl XX.Xlfl and related matters Sundtiy. The Pox network begdn its festivities on the Sabbath at 9 · a.m. with a pre·pre-pregame show. nus was rollowt'<i by the P,re-pregame show, the pregame show and, finally, the game itself. Aftei that, even Fox signed off and began runrung its ugly car- toon shows. But local c;tations here began marathons of replays of replays, squared many times, mter'Vlews, ponW1catiJ1g, second- guessing, all droning on until 1t was time for Cinderella to scoot home. It was all a lot of ado over not much You could see games at least as good almost any Sunday afternoon during the reuular sed- son. But then, those games wouldn't have four -count 'em, four -dirigibles cruii;ing the air- space above the stddium, accom- panied by banner-trailing biplanes and squadrons of heli- copters. The broadcasters of thqse games didn't get $1.6 million per 30 seconds of commercial &r time. Compared wtth years past, the commercials weren't all that great. There were omc moments of inspiration, however, that helped take one's mind off the game. Budweiser and its lizards, fr<>gs, carunes and crustaceans were espeaally ingenious. Viewed objecgvely -which, of course, nobody does around here -the Bronco colors of blue and orange are a dreadfully nox- ious combination. Even so, some two-thirds of the populace pre- pared for the game by repainting their worlds, even thelr babies. Supennarkets sold anything they could make out of the two colors: cookies, chc~se dips, ice cream. all manner of cakes and pastries, sandwich breads, blue· berry bagels with orange cream dieese toppings and, so help me, deep-fried chicken Wlllgs.

THE FRED COLUMN fred martin been scored and the last chicken wing eaten. there were still hours lo go m the wretched excess of Super Bowl xx.xm . It finally ended well after 11 p.m. that night when the last Denver sta- tion turned off its Bronco · machine. I suspect that at least tens of thousands went the full, bleary-eyed route. Except, that is, for the bands of scruffy, 20- something males who deserted television to build bonfires in the downtowns of Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Greeley. In bit- tersweet irony, fuel for the fires was provided by the metro news- papers, which dumped bundles of "Super Bowl Extras!" onto the streets. The cops were actually pretty cool, considering the beer-sotted urchins with which they had to deal. Never before have there been such hordes so desperately in need of mass testosteronec- tamies (and if that's not a me(i- ically recogruzed procedure, it should be). Now don't get me wrong about dl1 this, As noted m a pre- vious colwnn on the hype m Col- orado when the Broncos were prcpanrig for the senutinal game dgainst the New York Jets. I love football. . And I enJOY spectacle and pageantry -until it gets blown so Jar out of proportion as to become unworldly. Did you know that the Super Bowl is one of the main reasons corporations don't put logos and other forms of identity on their company jets? Secunty is another redson, but Cdplains of industry don't want their stockholders -or the IRS -to see their company jets all bnP.d up at the Super City air- port.

SUMMARY: The Planning Commillion and City Council have both previously denied the request of owners Martina Rau and John Colcher lo sell , cars at their business on New- ~ Boulevard. Historically, all c.ar Aki lots have been on Har· bor Boulevard. Rau and Cotch- er argue that car sales make up only a small percentage of theU' buiineA and that 95% of their business comes from ~asing the cars. which a.re not stored at the Site. The cars kept on site belong to customers and are sold by The Lease Outlet as a semce, the owners have S4.ld. Since the City Council's denial of the application, Tbe Lease Outlet has beeri dted for unper- mitted motor vehicle sales. Rau said she will continue to dull· lenge the city's dedSi.on as well as the citation. -Compiled by Elise Gee WHEN DINING GETS BORING, IT'S TIME FOR. .. •"~'@6*a• OUR MEALS ARE A TRIP TO M EXICO AS WELL AS BAJA ALSO ON OUR MENU FISH TACOS TORTlllA SOUP CHILI SIZE CHILI CHHSE OMUITTE Co 01~ ", P~< "' A'• '' I • f.iu<1 Tr 1,_ 296 E. 17TH ST.
