College 0¡d progroms help students succeeüNearly one-fourth of the

s_tqlent body at Fresno XityCollege was able to attend schoollast year because they reeeivedgome sort of financial aid. DonaldE. Watson, Direetor of FinancialAids and Placement, hopes thistrend will continue.

A total of $3,500,000 infinancial assistance went to morethan 4,500 students in the form ofloans, grants, seholarships andparttime jobs. The funds c¿mefrom federal, state ¿nd localsources. The majority of stu-dents receiving assistance arebetween the ages of lE and 35.

îhe distribution of linancialaid isstudent'sabilityexpensesnia Student Aid Commission willhelp decide eligibility by processing financial statementsthrough nationally st¿ndardizedprocedures that apply to allstudents.

lilatson'considers financial aidas "any type of monetaryassistanee that this distrietprocesses for students while theygo to sehool." Individualizedfinancial aid packages aredevised to meet the student'sneeds, he said.

Michael has become a star inhis own right by imitating thestyle and music of Elvis. He feelsthat by doing an Elvis Presleyshow as the King did it, thatwould be the greatest tribute hecould give.

W¿tson said o¡e of the benefitsthat seems to be associ¡ted withfinanci¿l aid is th¿t the droporltrate for students receiving aid isabout onehalf the droDout ratefor students not reeeiving anytype of assist¿nce.

A major part of this money is

main component of a financi¿l aidpackage. In accordanee withst¿te aud federal guidelines,.thisgrant can also be eombined withother aid.

Another important program isthe part-time job placementservice in the community. l,astyear, approximately 1,1ü) stu-dents received $1,fiþ qch forparttime work.

the College Srork Studyprogram provides a subst¿ntialamount ofaid to students and, inmany instances, allows them tolearn job skills relating to theirarea of study. Last year, 820students received a total of$316,996 in work study monies.

Following closely behind thework study program, in terms ofdollars, is the state fundedCollege Opportunity Grant program which gave 319 studentsabout $295,000 in aid. One of thebenefits of receiving a.grant isthat the student does not haveto

pay bsck any of the money, as isthè c¿se with a loan.

In all, there are about 16different frnaneial aid programsavailable to students, inctuaingassista¡ce-geared towardã

iloots' music progrom is in tune

By Lr¡ Eich¡¡¡FCC musie department chair-

man Vincent Moats has probablys¿ved music majors the price of20 texübooks. But what's evenbetter-he's provided the stu-dents with an innovative pro.gram for studying music theory.

Moats recently completed a setof theory papers for a twoyearseries called "ComprehensiveMusicianship." Through theseries, students study musictheory in chronological orderfrom the Renaissance throughthe 20th century. This is the firstsemester the completed papersare being used.

"All the textbooks I founddidn't follow the correctsequences," said Moats, whomaintains that students under-stand harmony better if theyare taught counterpoint andharmony in historical sequence,

He explained that someCentral Valley colleges, as wellas Fresno State, are beginning touse this approach. Other instruc-tors ar-e developing thei¡ ownmaterials based on Moats'program.

How do the students react?"At the beginning, some com-

At first, its office was barelysufficient to take care ofbusiness, The room was empty,gray and withdrawn. Greenwoven material was pinned onthe cracked wall and covered thefoggy glass windows.

In one corner of the room, theeditor of the "Valley Music News'had to sit behind an amplifiercase, talking on the phone whileclients waited patiently.

Within weeks, however, theoffice was moved to an old radiqstation room across the hall. Nowconcert posters fill the walls,earpeting and a green plant bringthe outside environment into theoffice. The new outlook ispleasing to the customers andthe employees.

"Fresno is the right marketarea for exactly what we aredoing, a music newspaper. Thereis a lot of music here,'said EditorRick Hale. "There is a real needfor music news so that people are'informed that there are local I

talented musicians.'The Valley Music News staff

includes Hale, editor; Andrew'Zetþo, publisher; John Noveske,assist¿nt editor; Michael PÊrol¡,-

plained about going oyer oldmaterial," Moais answered. "Butthosje who stay with thefour-semester program later sayit's the best way."

Moats began working on theproject in 1970 while he was ons¿bbatical. His goal was "to havea book that we can þork rrith"

expanded into a syllabus, orstudy guide. The syl.labus wasthen expanded into a series ofhandouts for the students.

Moafs credits Dr. Ellish, dean ofinstruction, for inaugurating afunded research program whicheventually helped support theextensive project. During thesummers of 1975-77, Moatsarranged the handouts into bookform.

There were a few problems tobe dealt with while working onthe project. "Sometimes it wasfrustrating trying.to work outexamples," Moats explained,"but the college accepted the -

project-they were very coopera-

tive with me."The completed series eonsists

, of Music 1A and B (Comprehen-sive Musicianship I and II) and

' Music 2A and B (ComprehensiveMusicianship III and iV) with adifferent book for each semester.

Moats was one of only twomusic instructors on campuswhen he came to- FCC in 1964.The department now has a staffof 15. "We have an excellentdepartment," he commented."The instructors are much betterthan average-some of them are

Last month Moats attendedthe twentieth annual meeting ofthe College Music Society ãndlearned that the trend is towardthis approach. "It assured mewe're on the right track-evenahead of them," Moats smiled. "Itfelt very good to know we'redoing something right." Vincent Moats

nothing but live entertainmenthave now traded in their bandstages for turntables, new soundsystems and strobe lights.

The public demanded thenewly revived disco fad. InFresno, the ever popularSmuggler's Inn was onè oi thefirst to go "disco".

The disco at Smuggler's is runin two shifts. For the cocktailcrowd, there is a softer,easy-listening style of music.This. is usually in the earlyev-ening up until about g p.m.After nine, the bump and hústlecrowd takes over with top-fortysounds.

Why do people flock to discosnight after night? One disc

jockey felt that they were lonelypeople looking for happiness andnot finding it.

Why discos? Nick Gamoi¿n,disc jockey from the Casino,believes, "One major reason issound. What costs a recordcompany $300,000 to $400,000can be more accurately repro,duced via turntables. You lose aIot of sound accuracy in liveperformances. A4other reasonmight be that people are familiarwith certain songs, thereforemaking it easy for them to danceto."

Gamoian is a student at FCC,majoring in film making. He gavea brief demonstration of whatpeople like to dance to: K.C. andt,he Sunshine Band, MarvinGaye, and the Floaters met withsuccess. Peter Frampton has hadI little success in the area of dancemusic.

lToody York- 'Self-mode ployer'By Dave Coi¡lsorù

Most college basketball play-ers learn how to play on

. junior-high and high-school- teams before going on to eollegeball.

But FCCb lVoody York isntlike most college basketball'players. The 2&year-old Fort

. Smith, Arkansas native neverplayed organized basketball untilhe came to FCC.

"I more or less taught myselfhow to play,'says York. "Ilearned how to play on theplaygrounds,' he added.

But why does someone whôhad never played organizedbasketball decide to give it a goat FCC? "I've always t'-ked toplay basketball," answered York,"so I thought I'd give it a try."

York went out for the team in1975. but he failed to make the

team. But getting cut from thesquad didnt discourage tVoody.

"I knew they had a lot ofplayers returning that year, andI thought my game needed morework," stated York. "I knew if Ikept working at it, my timewould come.'

So York gave it another shot in1976 and made the team. "I didntplay much last season, but Ifigured Id get more playing timethis season,'he added.

This season has found thehot-shooting York coming off thebench.as the team's third guard.And though he has shown he e¿nscore points, York continues towork hard on his defense also.

"You're not rhuch of a playerunless you can play well on bothends of the court," stated York..

IVoody feels he has learned alot playing basketball at FCC and

gives some of the credit to CoachChuck Stark. r'Coach Starktaught me to be patient when I'play,'said York.

Rqm Report

Rompoge presses Senote

By Dave Coulso¡r

As predicted in [his column last week, the Rampage rompedover the ASB Senale and left them licking their wounds in theirfirst annual basketball game.

Behind the scoring of Mitch Huerta, the defr.rnse of RandyAispuro, the playmaking of this writer and thc rebounding ofJim Smurr and Kip Smith, the Rampage beat the Senate 23-20in a game that was not as close as the score indicated.

Others contributing to the Rampage's success included MarkLundgren, Ken Enloe, Roger Lucio and Mark (747) Hernandez.

Huerta led all scorers with nine points with the rest of theRampage scoring being fairly balanced.

Outstanding in a losing game were Senate members GusMedina and Tyrie Bevings.

The game was a see-saw affair throughout the first half withthe score knotted 6-6 at the intermission.

But the Rampage scored six unanswered points at thebeginning of the second half and led the rest of the way.

Senate coach Steve Segal's troops had one last chance to tiethe game at the end of regulation time.

With the score 23-20 there was a misunderstanding on howmuch time remained in the game. The referee had the clock setat six seconds to play and the Rampage coach (you guessedwho) was ealled for a technical foul in the ensuing argument.

But Bivings couldn't convert the lree throw, and theRampage defense stiffened to snuff out the last Senate threat.

As the Rampage players left the lloor, a faint cry could beheard from the Senate bench,."V[ait till next year!"

We'll be waiting.

tCC Women progress ¡n sportsBy Bandy Aiepuro

In recent years Fresno CityCollege has followed the rest ofthe United States and hasincreased extra-curricular sports

, for women.

Hans Wiedenhoefer, di¡ectorof sports at FCC, stated,"Women's sports has beenaround many years. It decreasedconsiderably after WW IIthough. The women's movementhas increased it of late. With thatmovement people are rcalizingwomen should have their place insports."

City College has continually

increased the women's sportsprogram. "We have addedwomen's volleyball, tennis, trackand cross country. It takes time,interest, money and coaches todo this, so it's not that easy," saidWiedenhoefer.

There has to be ari interestfi¡st; without it there can be nonew sport. Then a proposal mustbe written. Then it has to gothrough the curriculum commit-tee to be approved. Then, if it'sokayed, it goes to the board to beconfirmed. That's just the begin-ning. If confirmed, funds must beappropriated, a league must beformed and then a coach has tobe assigned.

Johnslon 2nd in Son Jose lourneyDon Johnston, FCC's 167-

pound wrestler, made it all theway to the finals in the San JoseTournament but came up short ofan individual championship whenhe was defeated by Palomar'sGarv Gianni.

Johnston previously lost toGianni at the SouthwesternTournament for his only loss, 9-2.Johnston placed third in thattourney. In the S.J. TourneyJohnston lost a close 3-2 decision., "Johnston can compete withanybody in the state. He has onlytwo losses, and that's to the same

guy.He is doing very well," saidwrestling coach Bill Musick.

Other City College wrestlerswho fared well were Bob Grimes(177) and Marlin Royal (150),each placing third, and DukeShinle (190) taking fourth.

Today the grapplers wouldhave traveled to Reedley to opentheir Valley Conference seasontonight, but Reedley forfeitedthe match. On Saturday they willhit the road again to take part inthe San Francisco Invitational.

As a team, the Rams placedsixth behind Palomar, Chabot, ElCamino, San Jose City College

and Mt. San Jacinto. Palomaradded this championship to lastweek's Southwestern îourna-ment honors.

Rqmpqge's top ten qlbums of lgTT

Ernenson

l. Works Volume I

The top spot on the Rampage's-top ten album list goes to "TVorksVolume I," and rightfully so.Emerson, Lake & Palmer's firststudio album since 1973 showedtwo things.

It showed each of the group'smembers as an individual, and itintroduced orchestration to theELP sound. The album includesthe classic "Pirates." The grouppromoted this album by touringthe U.S.A. with a full orchestrathis summer.

3. Rumours

Fleetwood Mac has recentlycome out of the backgtound tobecome one of rock's mostsuccessful groups.

The LP that brought themmuch of that acclaim andpopularity is entitled "Rumours.'

"Rumours" is good music, veryspirited yet mellow "Soft rock"'Although it can be considerednot quite as good as theirprevious release, entitled"Fleetwood Mac," "Rumours"was indeed more of a commercialsuccess.

8. Even In The Quietest Moments

"Crime of the Century" was theirbest album, their newest release.

'

"Even in the Quietestmoments. . . " is fast rising to join"Crime."

"Quietest Moments" incorpo-rates the basie sounds that havebecome almost a trademark withthe group; good piano, saxo',phone, and intricate backgroundvocals. A good example of this is.the title cut. But by no means arethey eapable of just one type ofsong. Witness "Babaji."

All in all, Supertramp has .

produced another fine album in"Quietest Moments."

9. The Grand Illusion

Styf has consistently turnedout fine material. their latestrelease, "Îhe Grand lllusion," isa continuance of their trackrecord. With the vocals of JohnPanoz,m, lommy Shaw, and therest, Styx should have much thesame success as with theirprevious releases.

A good example of thei¡ musicis "Come Sail Away." With goodsynthesizer work, plus the-always-fine voc¿ls, this cut willmost assuredly be their bestrelease on this album. Othergood cuts &re "Man In TheWilderness" and "The GrôndIllusion."

As for activities, the Commu-'nity Services, {irected by Mr.Larry Kavanaugh, is responsiblefor the majority of eventsbrought to this campus.

Students need more outdoor

entertainment (Lamb Plaversnot Redge Peifer), more speak-ers on current events (JackAnderson, Daniel Schorr, Danielf)llsburg, Hayakawa, to name afew) who have appeared in theVaI"V, but not at City College.
