By Renee Swearingen"Maybe kids should have

lawyers and go to court to figurethings out." This is one of manyopinions voiced by ADAPTfounder, Sandy Everwine, dur-ing her recent "rap session" atthe FCC Women's Center.

Everwine leels that not onlythe role of children, but man'sroles are olten misunderstood inthe divorce situation and tries tohelp solve this problem throughADAPT (Aid in DivorceAdjustment Problems of Today).

"Many men are not aware oftheir role as a father until theyenter a divorce situation," shestated. "For some men it seemsto be a better way of dealing withthei¡ kids and getting to knowthem."

Everwine is doing a study onmen during marriage and divorceand how they view their role asfathers during this time. Shefeels this is an important studybecause nothing has ever beendone before to find out how menfeel in these situations.

Everwine is deeply concernedwith all parties involved indivorce, one reason she st¿rtedthe ADAPT program.

"ADAPT was not formed as aplace for divorced people tosocialize," Everwine explained."It was formed to help peopleeope with the legal and emotionalproblems of divorce."

Help includes professionaltherapists, discussion groups,seminars and woikshops. Ever-

fey face the same problemconfronting many people thesedays-money,

They have found that it isexpensive to support a house-hold, especially when trying toget an education at the sametime. If a child, or children areinvolved, it is even more difficult.The Mahaffeys have a three-month old son, Jereme.

"I had to drop out of school thisyear because of the baby," Ms.Mahaffey said. "We really triedto make it with both of us goingto school, but it just didn't work.We couldn't afford a babysitter,

so Chuck and I took turns caringfor Jereme between classes.

"It was hectic. I even had totake the baby with me to oneclass. It was hard to take notesand ho-ld an infant at the sametime. If the school just had aday-care center, it wouìd make itso much easier for manyIamilies," she said.

Mahaffey receives a monthìyallotment of $343 from the GIeducational assistance. He is afulltime student carrying 13units in a liberal arts major. Heplans to enter the field ofmedicine.

In the meantime, stark

realities face the Mahaffeys.Sacrifices must be made. Thecost of living goes up everymonth, but the income doesn't.

The cost of gasoline has risento the point where Mahaffeyfeels he can no longer afford todrive his 1958 Ford to school. Herides a 10-speed bicycle. Whenwinter hits he plans to ride thebus at a cost of $7.50 a month.

ADAPT provides free use ofits facilities to everyoneinterested with a yearlymembership fee of $7.

Everwine firSt conceived theidea of ADAPT when she startedwork on her own divorce. Aftermeeting with professional peoplefrom all over the community, shegathered together all theresources she had found aridstarted the ADAPT program tohelp others in the same position.

With more than 300 payingmembers at present, ADAPT isgrowing in numbers every day,providing more services andfacilities all the time.

Everwine feels these servicesare necess-ary, because, as.sheputs it, "Divorce is like beingterminally ill; you have to gothrough a period of change andgrief. I feel that talking about it,sharing it with other people,helps divorced people and thosein the process of divorce passthrough this period a littleeasier."

Divorced persons get a chance-to air these feelings andproblems through awarenesssessions and talks with profes-sional therapists provided byADAPT.

STIPPED DISC

Springsteen leoves obl¡vion to reoch stordoByBodPoul

Bruce Springsteen is I ve¡Yeveryday looking Biuy, doesn'thave the looks of a superstar atall. He has some dominantch¿racterics that just form anall-around nice grry. This nice guywas virtually unknown until therelease of "Born to Run." Nowsomehow, with an ¿ll-¿roundgood album, he has become ¿major rock figure.

Today the big question is: "Is

question: "If Bruce Springsteènis such hot stuff, then why is itthat he is not nationally known?"

Springsteen is not totally anobody turned into a somebodY.Actually he has been quitepopular on the East coast forabout two years now. Hereleased two previous albums,both in 1973.

As a musician, he has the goodquality ofa different type of rockand roll. At times his guitar workresembles that of Keith Richardsof the Rolling Stones, At times itseems that he reaches aRichard's style of music.

Unlike Richards, Springsteenadds orchestration, but cuts anytype of vocal harmonies (adisappointment). At times hisguitar is tuned as Richard's is.

Also as the Stones have done.Springsteen has added horns tohis rock. Mixing horns withguitars is difficult to doeffectively; either they soundgood or they sound bad anddetract from the music.

Springsteen does manage tòproduce the horns successfully.In Springsteen's music theguitars and keyboards dominate,while the horns are const¿nt andwell times. Springsteen handlesthe production superbly.

In the same stYle of horn

horn effect. Aside from thechorus line, it is difficult to noticethat the horns are there. Yet ifthey were taken out it would be

noticed.

"Springsteen is nottotolly o nobody

turned inÌo somebody.t'

Springsteen's músic alwaysholds good, steady beats, just astraditional roct. It also differsfrom tradition in that it iscomplex in its anangements andproduction..His beats flow, but inan awkward sense. This makesthe music unpredictable. It is thismystery as to where Springsteenis going to take the listener thatattracts the listener.

Unlike "Yes" and "GentleGiant," who are too progressiveto make it to ultra stardom, itseems that Springsteen has, withhis converted rock- and roll. Histempos are always in the processof either climbing or falling; dontlet this fool you, this is stillmerely rock and roll. The onlything that sets Springsteen apartis that he has added a few morêinstruments.

The lyrics ofteñ take the shapeof a ballad, only the focus is môreon the personalities of the peoplerather than on the story. Most of

the themes of Springsteen'slyrics follow the lines of love,lost, and ,the basic everydaybummers of living on the streets.

Through the lyrics, Spring-steen creates the image of amodern fairy tale; only these"fairy tales" are a bit too realisticto merely toss aside. They arecomposed of a combination ofeveryday accepted symbols andslang, with a slight touch ofnostalgia. Often these developinto a fantasy of the simple life.

These "fairy tales" are createdthrough everyday situationsmixed with idealistic dreams.Since this is already everydaystuff to the AM listener, he doesnot rejeet it. Just the opposite,without intentionally realizing ithe has listened and liekd the songjust beeause it was on his level.These lyrics are aimed at the

"His tempos ore olwoys

in the process of

climbing or folling."

This style of þic is novel, asto Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull'slyrics are actual poetry.Anderson's lyrics follow the linesof old English poetry. TheseIyrics do not only require thelistener's attention, but alsorequire a little backgroundknowledge. Anderson asks thelistener to put one and onetogether.

Springsteen's lyrics are de-

livered with a lot of feeling, and abith of finesse. He has a lot ofpotential, but he seems to besticking with mush-mouth lyrics.If his vocals eould be a bitclearer, one would be able tounderstand these lyrics he is sorespected for.

"Spri ngsteents lyrícs

qre delivered witho lot of feeling."

Though he has received somuch recognition for his þics,they are simply a string ofnot-so-trite cliches centeredaround a main theme. His musicis nothing but rehashed rock androll.

What seems to be the secret toBruce Springsteen's success isthat he just happened to be theman with the right style at the

To propose a possible answerto the second question posed inthis article, I would guess that heis being pushed more than he issaid to be worth. Record salesdoes not even put his album inthe top 20 for Fresno. I wouldimagine that if someone is givennational recognition through twoof the most read magazines in thecountry that he would at least benationally known.

"He is being pushed

more fhon he ís

soid to be worth."

One rnore question: l'Is BruceSpringsteen another Bob Dylan,or is he another Don McClean?"

The answer. to the firòtquestion cannot be answereduntil we see what BruceSpringsteen will do next. I cansay that his latest LP isall-around okay album, nothingto get too excited about.

The course, primarily designedfor employees of lawenforcement agencies, will beheld from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with anhour's break for lunch at theState Center Community CollegeDistrict's Peace Officers 'Aca-demy, 5548 Air Terminal Dr.

The Mahaffeys are an exampleof a resident family strugglingthrough college. He was lucky.He only had to pay $10.25 forregistration. His total cost forbooks and parking was abouts8?.

But what about a person rúhohas been living in California lessthan a year? A non-resident whotakes more than six units mustpay $3Íl per unit, according toCindy Boozer in Admissions. Ifthe non-resident takes less thansix units, the cost is only $2.25.The parking sticker may seemminimal at $5 per semester. Butwhen the budget is tight that canseem like $50, according to theMahaffeys.

Is it reafly worth it? Should aperson endure the financialstruggles and sacrifices just toget an education?

John Ryska, counselor at FCC,says that according to a natio¡alon campus report, the unemploy-ment rate among persons with acollege degree is 2.9 percentcompared to the rate amongschool dropouts, which nowstands at a whopping 15.2percent, Ò

'rYou hear about students whodo not get jobs after graduation,"said Ryska, "but many aregetting jobs everywhere. Youhear about the ones that don'tbut many times the reason somegraduates are unemployed isbecause of not wanting to leave acertain area."

He says that according tostatistics, the average collegegraduate, during the yearsbetween 25 and 65, will earnabout $240,000 more than theaverage high school graduate.

The average college graduatewill complete about 120 semesterunits before getting a bachelor's

degree. This means that everyunit taken is worth approximate-ly $2,000 in future earnings.

Byska says, "Even withtoday's high eost of living, a

college education is a bargain. Itis a good investment. But astudent should be careful aboutseleeting a major. Some fields

'are limited, but many are not."Furthermore," said Ryska,

"college'should not be lookedupon only as preparation for avocation. The knowledge andinformation are of tremendousvalue in life other than just beingan asset in looking for a job. Lifecan be more worthwhile becauseof increased knowledge andunderstanding of oneself andothers."

Persons needing financialassistanee can get brochures andfact sheets telling about sourcesof aid available, aecording toDebbie Renteria, in the FinancialAid Office. Numerous grants,scholarships and loans areavailable. In addition, theFinancial Aid Office, directed byDon Watson, heads up awork-study program, providingextra income for students. TheStudent Placement Office assistsstudénts in finding jobs offcampus.

Concerning the child careproblems of many students, FCCPresident Clyde McCully hassaid the administration isworking toward the developmentof a child care center on campus,The service could be available asearìy as next semester, hestated.

Ms. Mahaffey feels that if theprogram is developed, anincrease in enrollment at FCCcould result. "It would certainlymean a great deal to families likeours who are on a limited income.It wouldn't solve all our financialproblems, but it would surehelp," she said.

The pyramid ci¡n be any size, ifthe proportions are correct.

Each of the four faces of thepyramid is a triangle of which thesides must be 95 per cent of thelength of the base. You couldmake a pyramid with î?-inch-square base. The sides ofthe triangular faces must be6.665 inches. You can cut holes inthe faces to se-e what takes place.Pyramids must be aligned onmagnetic north. Try puttingdifferent items inside and seehow it works.

Kent Steadman believes in ourlifetime we will see pyramids allover. NASA has already startedexperimenting with pyramids.

Próbably no one will ever beable to answer the questionsinvolving the ancient pyramids.Who bùilt the pyramids thatscientists have discovered areolder than cromagnon man? Howcould they come by proportionsthat were so effective? Maybethis is one phenomenon wherethe controversy will be settled.

Yiet pilot builds

new future hereBy Stæve Pdiughi

How does it feel to be on thelosing side of a war? We knowthe glory ofinternational victoryand world supremacy, our onlyblow to our pride being "peacewith honor" in Vietnam. AVietnamese refugee feels thepain and dishonor of a war lost.

the refugee, a student whowishes to remain anonymous,spoke about his experiences andreflections on the recent collapseof South Viet Nam. In this articlewe shall refer to him as Pham.

Pham arrived in American onMay I of this year with littlemore than the clothes on hisback. His flight from South VietNam took him through theresettlement, areas on Guam thento tlte Republic of the Philippinesand_ finally on to CampPenãleton.

lVhen he left Vietnam Phamhad no idea whether his parentsand relatives had done the same.He was re-united with his motherand father on Guam. Many of hisrelatives remain in Vietn¿mtoday--

Before leaving Vietnam, Phamwas a captain in the SouthVietnamese Ai¡ Force. He flew aUH-1 Huey att¿ck helicopter, asdid Americ¿n GI's, with onedifference. Most American sol-diers spent one year in Vietnamand were then rotated back tothe United States. Pham foughtthe communists for eight years.His only hope of returning homewas to be seriously wounded.

lVhy didn't he remain inSouth Vietnam? "I came toAmerica to build a new life and tolive in tranquility. I also like theFresno arewa and its surround-ings." Pham lives with hisAmerican brother-inlaw as wellas his mother, fathe¡ and sister.

Artistic releose

Pham feels that the people ofthe United States still do notunderstand what happened inVietnam. "The American peopledid not know what was going onin South Vietnam. They saw only-what the press wanted them tosee."

When asked what he felt aboutthe denial of aid to SouthVietnam, Pham replied, "I didnot like the policy of theAme_rican congress, but Ihonestl¿ feel that the Americanpeople did not \now our needswere so desperãte."

However, he does not blamethe downfall of South Vietnam onthe U.S. "The South Vietnamesegovernment fell apart, and wasgoverned the wrong way; it justcould not pull itself together."Another reason, in his opinion,was "The communist countriesreceived aid from China 'andRussiia, while we were dependenton the United States."

"At times'I feel veryhomesiek," Pham said, "butSouth Vietnam is very far fromhere. Any way, there wouldalways be the communists."Pham plans to remain in thevalley for a while to pursue hiscareer in a different form.

Pham plans to earn anairframe and powerplant certifi-cate at FCC and then go on to geta private pilot lieense nextJanuary. Unlike American warveterans, Pham does not receive

George Cooper, president of Pyromeditotìon in his "enclosure of energy. r'

By Roxana KirschFor years people have been

mystified by one phenomenonafter another - flying saucers,extra sensory pereeption, theBermuda Triangle, and godsfrom outer space.

Each of these phenomenaseems to have some kind ofscientific, nonmystical explana-tion. A lot of the evidence isconflicting or inconclusive andtherefore is ignored. Contro-versy over the phenomena isoccasionally settled but themysteries never seem to end.

One mystery which isdeveloping followers on campusis the power of the pyramid.

"Pyramid power began 70years ago when a Frenchoccultist, impressed by theexcellent condition of mummiesin the Great Pyramid, askedhimself: Is it possible that thepyramid's shape does somethingto space and time? To find theanswer he put a dead cat inside ascale model of the pyramid. Thebody quickly dehydratcd andmummified," explained KentSteadman, FCC art instructor.

"îhe pyramid is a simpleenclosure of energy. The energy

is c¿lled bioplasmic. It is thesame kind of ener¡y that makesup the psyche," said Steadman.

Currently there are over 2,000people, mainly college people,involved with pyramids.

One student, Mike Freeman,says that the pyramid makes"every cell in my body tingle."

"I sleep much sounder nowthat I have discovered thepyramid. I have also becomeclairvoyant," Freeman said.

Steadman describes the feel-ing as "a current going throughme. It makes you think more of

coffee, mellow cheap wines,make cigars taste less harsh, andmany other amazing things."

The proof of tlÍese claims mustbe left up to science but as manybelievers tell skeptics of pyramidpower, "It is very, very easy tofind out for yourself if a pyramidworks. You just have to makeone." Anil here's how:

It can be made of almostanything, including cardboard.

Then slowly, methodicallyíthey move off the line inindividual directions, seeminglyexploring the space and floorwith their hands, feet, and faces.Spanning out on the floor, thedancers mirror each other withswan-like moves.

The pace quickens, the dancersbecome busier and faster. Thescene, for a time, becomesuncontrolled ¿nd ch¿otic. then itslows down again and the violentmovement of the d¿ncersmellows. They then slowly anddeliberately come b¿ck to theline where one by one they finishall movement. Arms to sides;staring straight ¿he¿d.

Jaúce Jansen's'Modern Dancecl¡ss on Monday, Wednesday,and Friday nights is described byher as improvisatiou¿I. Not a lotof teehnique is taught.

Jansen, who h¿s an MA in

education from Stanford and aMA in dance from UCLA, tookup dance because it represented"something more essential to me,to share with others."

The class lasts about an hourand this particular night wentlonger - nobody really wantedto leave.

Fred Books, one of the twomales in the class, said dancing isa form of relaxation. "It alsogives me a nice physique." Askedwhy more male students are notinvolved, Books answered thatthere is a stigma attached tosomething supposedly effemi-n¿tc like dance, and that it seemsto scare men off.

Joyce Chilingirian, a freshmanmajoring in rehabilitation, enjoysdancing because it is a release."Dancing brings out inhibitions."Chilingirian said dancing is anindic¿tor of how a person isfeeling. "You c¿n tell how aperson feels. inside by how hedances."

Both Books and Chilingirianagreed dancing is a form of

artistic self-expression.Jansen started teaching danc-

ing after teaching school becauseshe felt she was teaching on amore personal level. "Physicallyit was more challenging. All Ireally did in school was lectureand grade papers."

Although she took up danceafter receiving her MA ineducation, Jansen feels heracademie training was not at allwasted. She uses it primarily forresearch for shows -and danceproductions - and her ownenrichment,

The three variables of dance,Jansen told her students, arespace, time, and energy - withan emphasis on energ:f.

. "It's the one thing for me,"says Jansen, "that combines thephysical self, the intellectualside, and your emotional self."

It is a much freer learningexperience because, as Jansenput it, "you're allowed to giveyourself responsibility to re-spond."

Foreign students' lot isn't eqsy"Last year my head was

buzzing like a bumblebee. I triedto understand everything at onceand that made the'perfectconfusion." Yim Yee Lee fromHong Kong laughs, amused,when she recalls her past.

Twenty-two-year-old Yimcame to Fresno in the fall of 1974and is one of the 55 foreignstudents enrolled at City Collegeon a visa. And she is not the onlyone who had the "bumblebeesyndrome."

From around the world, fromnorth and south, east, west andoverseas, from cool Norway andfrom tropical Malaysia, thesemen and women came to acountry where lifestyle, societyand environment is slightly orcompletely different from thosein their homelands.

Besides being newcomers tothe United States, many of themhave something else in common:a desire to get the best possibleeducation, an education which

may not always be as Profound"back home." :

Said Cathy Agbakoba fromNigeria: "In the US it is Possiblefor me to achieve a far betterbackground in my field, voc¿-tional nursing, bec¿use it is morespecialized than in my homecountry."

Agbakoba, who was "broughtover" in 19?1 by hêr brother ("hefinished his education in theUnited States and advised me todo the same") admits.there were

THINK POSITIVE

plenty of adjustments andexperiences to go through at thebeginning.

"The .language gave me thebiggest problem first. But I waslgcky. In Gerald Stokle I foundan instructor who understood my

The scåool fees are sometimesa bit of a burden, especially forthose who were useò to a freeeducation system in theirhomelands. At FCC they pay$495 plus around $30 insurancefee per semester.

Friends or Acquointsnces?Sit down and let's find out hory

being a friend differs from anacquaintance. The way I see it,there is an enormous amount ofdifference. Here's what I mean -No: stop!

Here let your mind drift backto when this country wasfounded. You know, 1976 is onthe horizon, and we'll becelebrating our 200th birthday.Just you think on all theadvances we have made; why,we have been to the moon andback. But, I can't, help fromthinking or wondering thatsomewhere along the way, welost that fine thread of decency.Look around you; what do yousee, loose morals and the like,hmph.

Oh well, we have madetremendous strüles since Ameri-ca was founded, But we've lostsomething precious along theway - an appreciation of truefriendship.

And because of it,.most of usare very lonely today. lVe live ina n¿tion of strangers. Here'swhat I mean; in colonial days,frieir,.ls were all-import¿nt. Butas Aneric¿ grew, the importanceof friendship declined, over-whelmed by intense competition

among Americans, developmentof a mobile society and creationof an impersonal government.

We have become a masssociety which places tremendousimportance on achievement andpopularity. IVe put a lot ofemphasis . on having many"friends", but they're really justacquaintances. -

Today, you're lucky if you havejust one or two real friends. It'seven more doubtful to have morethan three.

I think most Americans have agrowing need for friendship, andwould much rather have a coupleof real friends than a hundredcasual acquaintances. But most'of us are too shy to make friendseasily; we also don't know how.

'Here's how to find whetherany of your current friends aretrue ones. lry asking yourselfthese questions: First of all, doyou like eaeh other? Friends arenot simply people who like you.There has to be a mutualadmiration, liking and enjoy-ment. Another thing, do youhave common interest that isshared, or å common set ofvalues?

It might have been moreexciting watching the cheerlead-ers, Saturday as the Rams onceagain with their devastatingattack annihilated Reedley 41-3.Desperately in need of help,Reedley managed to use fourquarterbacks in hopes of keepingthe game alive. But hopes had tobe dwindling when the Rams led34-0 at halftime.. In what was perhaps Fresno'srinest defensive effort of the

ason, the Rams completely.alted Reedley's haplessoffensive attack while forcingeight Tiger turnovers.

The 7-1 Rams are now 5-0 inValley Confergnce play and onegame up their Nov. 22opponent--College of theSequoias. COS suffered its firstleague loss, 36-24, at the hands ofSan Joaquin Delta in StocktonSaturday.

The Rams are virtuallyassured of going against COS'Giants with a perfect conferencerecord as they prepare to take onweak Americau River Saturdayat 1:15 p.m. in Sacramento.

AR's Beavers, the VC's only

winless team, bowed 28-6 onSaturday to Sacramento City,the same team that took a 56-6thrashing from Fiesno.

Against Reedley, FCC's fi¡sttouchdown came on an l8-yardpass from quarterback ClydeChristensen to Tim Johnson.with 20 seco¡rds in the firstquarter, Christensen ran nineyards for a touchdown. GaryLeonard pounded out, six yardsfor a touchdown.

A turnover one minute laterenabled Tim Johnson to score atouchdown on a six-yard passfrom Christensen. With 36seconds remaining in the firsthalf, Curtis Mason, on a twoyardpass from Christensen, scoredstill another touchdown.

Only 34 points down, theTigers were aggressive at thestart of the third quarto andmanaged to score on a 30-yardfield goal. The Rams, with acomfortable lead, could afford toplay all players. IVith 9:07 in thefourth quarter Richard Phillipsscored on a two yard run makingthe final score 43-3.

The FCC harriers closed ouJtheir season last weekend at the

_, .-"Ifalley Cross Country Champion-

ships, where only three runnerswere able to participate.

Louis Grieco was the topfinisher in 14th (21:01), whileEddie Rivera 47th timed (23:04),and Manual Ramos (23:48)finished 54th.

The big dispute, however, waswhether the six suspended Ramrunners should have been able tofinish out the season.

They had been suspended fromaction the two previous weeks,missing two key conference dualmeets for "mooning" cars comingback from a Sacramento meet.

Coach Bobby Fries said, "lVethought they would get to run inthe remaining meets, but the

school authorities stuck to theiroriginal clecision."

The authorities are Athleticf)irector Hans Wiedenhoefer andDcnn of Men Doug Peterson.

The incident happened inModesto, where complaints ledto a police report coming to theFCC administration.

The complaint was termed as apublic nuisance. But afterdiscussion with the Modestopeople, coach Fries said, theywere willing to overlook theincident.

The whole event was viewedby the runners as just foolingaround, something which nowseems to have blown out ofproportion.

Coach Fries said, "Our runnersshould have been punishedsomewhat I agree, but eliminat-

ing them from the rest of theseason,- I think was somewhatsevere."

"I feel they should have hadthe right to show the type ofrespectable kids they really are."

But as the season ended thevhad to forfeit their conferencästanding and gave up theirpractically sure third place finishin the Valley Conference meet.

Fresno will still host theNorthern California Meet Fridayat noon and the State.Meet onNov.22 at 12:30, both atWoodward Park.

Yolleyboll team finishes 'Never ,soy die '

rookie secrson in fhird Rom soccer teomEnding their first season with

a 5-5 record, FCC's volleyballersfinished an impressive third intheir league. Merced andReedley finished ahead of theRams. while Bakersfield, COS,and Porterville trail.

Last Thursday the Ramstrampled the COS Giants in theFCC gam. For the first time bothof Fresno's squads werevictorious on the same night asthey played in front of theirlargest viewer turnout thisseason.

The A team defeated COS witha quick 15-9, 15-8 match. Topservers for the Rams wereCorine Lawley and Sue Bisner.Sue Deegan and Sandy Yoakumdominated the game by acing theGiants with spikes and unsus-pected dinks.

Fresno's B team slaughteredCOS 15-0, 15-8. Only four Ramsreached the serving position inthe fi¡st game, which lasted amere 10 minutes. SophomoreDebbie Lockwogd scored 10consecutive points through herpowerful serves. Kathy Stanleyfinished off the job to give theRams their l5-0 victory.

The Giants tried to make acomeback in the second Bâho, '

but failed. Although COS was

able to get on the scoreboard, theGiants had little opportunity toplay offensively.

Through the sets of DarinaStine, Debbie Lockwood. andKarla Ramthun, Fresno's hitterskept the Giants on defense byeffectively spiking the ball ontothe COS side. Spjkers for theRams include Kathy Stanley,Laura Hayden, Gerrie Evans,and Linda Philpott.

Last week the Rams travelledto Porterville for the final game -

in their league, the Central.California Community CollegeInterscholastic Conference(CCCCIC). Playing their secondstring, the Rams easily defeatedthe Pirates.

With the league season over,the Rams will begin practicingfor the CCCCIC tournamentplanned for, Nov. 2L-22 inReedley. FCC coach Ken Doseplans to keep the team in shape

by scheduling several scrifh-mages during the next week.

The fi¡st scrimmage will betomorrow at noon when theRams face the FCC faculty. Dosesaid members of the faculty havebeen playing recreational volley-ball during the Friday noon hour

-and have formed an all-star team

to challenge the women players.Dose said the official rules forvolleyball have been altered forthe faculty. "The only thingwe're going to call on them is lineand net violations because they'llgo on the other side and hold youdown if we don't," chuckledDose.

However, the remaining scrim-mages plan to be with moreexperienced teams from varioüshigh schools and possiblycolleges in the area.

Dose is optimistic about thetournament ancl feels the Ramswill perform well. "Our overallplay has improved a lot since thebeginning of the season," saidDose. Although Fresno doesn'thave "that tenacious intensitythat great teams have," Doseattributes finishing third to thefact that the Rams "didn't giveup." Through "good hard work,"Dose believes, the Rams willfinish well in the tournament.

Fresno's top eight players willtr¿vel to the tournament nextweekend. Representing FCC willbe Sue Deegan, Sue Eisner,Coring Lawley, Sue Martin,Terrie Novitzky, Kathy Stanley,Janie Taniwa, and SandyYoakum.

Anyone interested in compet-ing for the 1976 Ram swim teamshould contact coach Gene

Stephens immediately.He can be reached in the men's

coaches Office C, Ext. 317, or athome,227-2220.

Formal competition will beheld in both women's and men's

divisions of swimming anddiving.

Although practice is under-way, official practice will notstart until January. FCC's firstmeet will be the Fresno StateRelays, Feb. 6-7. Bob Clarke, an.ex-diver, will assist Stephenswith the diving duties.

c0ptufes cfownCoach Bill Neal's Ram soccer

team captured the first Cent¡alCalifornia Community Colf egeSoccer League champìonship byholding off Modesto 5-4, l¿stFriday.

The victory lifts Fresno'sleague mark to 5-1-1, and theRams now carry an impressive7-2-2 overall mark. Modesto' finished league play with a 3-5record, currently iù second place.

Earlier in the week, FCCfought back to tie Merced, 4;4,and kill any chance of a BlueDevil crown.

Merced opened play with twoquick scores, and led atintermission, 2-1.

Blue Devil fans watched theirteam t¿ke a 4-3 lead late in thegame for an apparent win.However, "the never say die"Rams battled back with l5seconds left on a Gary Neal bootto tie the game, and claim amoral victory.

"I felt lucky," stated theyounger Neal. "There were somany people around the goalarea that could have stopped it."

Pat Gish and Clayton Mottscored two and one goalsrespectively, and played a part insetting up the Neal goal withtimely passing.

Modesto ran past Fresno earlyin the match only to see theireffofLs fall short. Down by two,the Rams rallied behind Gish'sfour points to lead at the half, 4-2.

After a short breather, AndyRodriguez received a 60-yardpass fror¡-Ed Conners, and thenslapped it by the Pirate goalie foran insurmountable S2 lead.

But the Rams celebratedprematurely as Modesto foughtback to within one, 5-4. FCC thenproceded to tighten up itsdefense and preserve the winand title.

Neal's and Rodriguez's goals,which proved to be the winningedge, wefe only their third goalsof the season.

FCC will close out league'ãction by hosting MereedWednesday, Nov. 19. In threeprevious meetings, Merced hasoutscored Fresno, 10-9, and has a1-1-1 record against the R¿ms.

Jim Bush has his own team inthe junior soccgr league, whichreports proudly is undefeated.

He said with all the guys like.Clayton and Rick helping you outhow can you lose.

Mott expressed that newassistant hasreally helped him personally andalso the team.

He continued that Coach Nealhas put in a lot of time, effort andpersonal sacrifice for the good ofthe team.

"Soccer is different fromsports like football, because infootball you can practice one playover and over, while in soccerevery time you get the ball it's adifferent situation and you haveto know what to do with theball," òaid Mott.

"To 'do this you have tocombine all the basie skills likedribbling, passing, heading andshooting with thinking to becomea good player."

It is uncertain whether any ofthe players plan to return to playnext year. Some plan'to quitschool and go to work or get outof Fresno. But one thing is prettycertain, wherever tbey go they'llbe playing soccer.

Cooch Stephens seeksaasw¡mming prospecls tle d¡d ir crs teartl'

soccef Go-ccPtclin soys"I'd rather a story be done on

the whole team, than any oneindividual," said soccer cocaptainClayton Mott.

Mott was reflecting not only '

his own feelings but that of histeammates and coaches. He said,"we play as one unit and no oneperSon stands out alone, but theteam will."

And the soccer team hasproven just that, wrapping upthe first place title in the threeteam Central California Commu-nity College Soccer League, witha 5-4 victory over Modesto lastFriday.- It was a show of team effort tobeat the revised Modesto team.The viqiting team had addedmany new faces which the Ramsdid not recognize from threeprevious games.

Cocaptain Rick Culver had notintended to play in the game; hehad been ill with food poisoningthe day before and had a soreright leg.

tte told his coach he was tiredjust from warming up and felt hecouldn't play. After about 10minutes of play the Piratesjumped to an easy 2-0 lead.

After it was apparent the Ramdefense was getting out-maneuvered, a few of histeammates said. "come on, Rick,

we need you." He then let CoachBill Neal know he was ready togo in.

Culver responded by givingthe defense the support it, neededand sparked the Fresno surge ofball control.

Many players were playinginjured and hurt, yet everyonewas playing in a team effort.

Pat Gish, who was playingwith a hip pointer, managed toscore four goals while limpingthrough the Modesto dèfense,provided by good assist shots

,from teammates.

This put the FCC booters outin front for good and theycontinued to outplay the Piratesfor the remainde¡ of the game,although it came close whenModesto ran the score to 3-4.

Then with a perfect shot at thegoal, Andy Rodriguez providedthe winning margin.

"Most of the guys on the teamhave been in soccer for about sixor seven years," said Mott. Manyof them plan to play in theunder-2l age division leaguewhen it begins in January.- Some are eiven playing onmen's te¿ms now in the Fresnoarea. Not only do they devote alot of their time playing soccerbut they also coach.

FILM REVIEW

der cpplouds

cle's opinionDear Editor:

Quite admirably, albeit dis-tressingly, Jeff Atamian ac-curately struck the nail o[conteìnporary academia on itsdoltish and regressive head withlast week's opinion on theincreasing superficiality ofscholastic standards and achieve-ments.

If students were required toproductively and constructivelyparticipate in an overall, rigidlydefined, and conscientious questfor knowledge and inùerpersonalunderst¿nding in order to remainon the rolls in an "institution ofhigher learning" (an increasinglyanachronistic misnomer in it.selfl!), perhaps the apathy aboutthe essence of life and theboldface ignorance of theprinciples of human equity,which are so overwhelminglyextant on this campus, would bereplaced by a' concerteddedication to commitment andperception.

But doubtlessly, the exact-ment of such high expectationswould drastically reduce thenumbers on those rolls, ¡vhichwould create dramatic financialrepercussions sending shuddersthroughout every fiber of oureducational non-system. And, asis amply dernonstrated daily invirtually every sector of ourAmerican existence, "Principle"usually comes out on the shortend of a '.'Principle vs.Pocketbook" confrontation.

Jeffs idea that "more thoughtshould be given to vocational

education .." is perhaps quitevalid, but additionally, morethought should be given tothought! But, who cares?

NO CHEERLEADERSDear Editor,

It was with great interest andamusement that I read thearticle in last week's paper,"Cheerleading at FCC meansinvolvement."

I read with interest because itis always refreshing to find outhow and what a "cheerleader"thinks. I read with amusementbecause I'm on FCC's soccerteam. (Yes, Virginia, the¡e ie asoccer team. The best collegeteam in the valley this year.)

Prior to an important gamewith Modesto JC last week, the"cheerleaders" were asked twiceto make an appearance, in orderto encourage and "cheer" us. Iguess I should be grateful--onecheerleader did come; one out ofseventeen isn't bad. . .

Now here's my point: it'sdiscouraging enough that ourfine soccer'team is largelyignored by FCC students;.to besnubbed by the "cheerleaders,"who claim involvement, is addinginsult to injury.

One particular quote in thearticle really stood out: "Arah-rah is a snob or someone whothinks she's special." Could it bethat they are convicted by theirown definition?

'Cogb urn' dÍsploys Wqyîê,Hepb urn--ctnd li¡¡le else

By S"t¡rns KehdeUniversal has slipped back to

the past with "Rooster Cog-burn," a western produced byHal lVallis. The film, playing at,Manchester Cinema, looks likeamateur hour. The color fromUniversal's Technicolor lab isreminiscent of Cinecolor; theshots don't match and the longdi-stance shots are out of focus.The director, Stuart Millar,ignoring the need for discreetdistance when filming agingstars who are trying to look atleast a decade younger, stays soclose that John Wayne'shairpiece change is revealed.

John lVayne and KatherineHepburn are given no opportu-nity for originality in this script.This has never been a mainconcern for Wayne, but whyHepburn ventured into thisproject is a head scratcher.

Wayne is plucked from hisAcademy Award winning role in"True Grit." One eyed andpaunchy, he is relieved of his jobas sheriff for killing 64 suspects.The picture tries to explain whyhis actions were valid.

Rooster is sent out to bring inthe diabolic Hawk (RichardJordan), the leader of adespicable group who sell liquorto the Indians, then kill them.Are you catching some justifica-

tion in the wind? Hawk kills abenevolent minister who wasbringing Christianity to theheathens.

The reverend has a daughter,Eula (Katherine Hepburn) whohas been teaching the Indianchildren. Sound familiar? Hepburn's role in "African Queen,"which she played when she was44, has been literally reincar-nated. The screenwriters, includ-ing Hal lVallis and his wife,Martha Hyer, who are hiddenunder the pseudonym MartinJulien, have gone to a great dealof effort to make Hepburn lookridiculous.

Rooster takes Eula along withhim in his pursuit of Hawk,leaving behind the Indianchildren Eula had hidden in thebrush to escape the robbers. Thescript forgets them and for all weknow they are probably stillthere.

Eventually in chasing the badguys, Rooster and Eula ride araft loaded with explosives downthe rapids, their own version ofthe African Queen.

There is only one characterwith any believability in thisfilm, a crusty old geezer playedby Strother Martin.

At the end of the film Roosterand Eula fondly part, intimating

a meeting in the future whenthey'can continue thei¡ court-ship; judging by their age,hopefully not îf¡O fa¡ in thefuture.

The picture tries to $ainhumor by joking about something it can't hide, the stars'ages. But contradictions makethis attempt turn in insults.Wayne, who is supposed to be amatch for any gunman, is helpedby cutaways to mount his horse.Hepburn, who portrays amarkswoman, only looks lost andfrightened.

Wayne, who never has beenable to act but at least wasphotogenic, now muggs his waythrough films playing thesoft-hearted slob. Hepburn, and Irepeat, "What is she doing in thisfilm?", seems only to be playing aparody of her old self.

There may be people who likethis film, seeing the old stars dosome old tricks, but it is only twovery rich, world famous, agingstars, who assume that popular-ity is indefinite. If Universal hadto maþe this demoralizing film, atìeast they could have put someextras in; there is practicallynobody in the whole film but maybe there was a reason for this,with the color processing youprobably wouldn't have beenable to see them anyway.
