plon differenl lookby Joe Chabala

Eight senators and one recordingsecretary were sworn in last Tuesday byASB piesident, Jim Sowers. during thestudent senate's first meeting of thesemester.

The newly appointed officials - D¡mitriJaramishian, Carl Walker, Tani Mayeda,Vickie Miller, Pete Petropulos. Miles Miller,Brian Marki, Debbie Cabral and Toni Ettner

- will fill vacancies left by last year'smembers comPleting their terms.

All incoming senate members havevaried reasons for wanting to be on student

four members, who areCitY College for the firsta chance to become

t acquainted w¡th thecampus.

Dimitri Jaramishian, a graduate ofHoover High School, said he'd like to "getinvolved" and learn how student govern-ment opôrates. Carl Walker, a graduate ofClovis High School, said, "lt's a way to getto know the campus and the people. That'swhere my interests are."

Tani Mayeda, also a first-time student ofFCC, fe-els the experience she gained as a

student council member of her formercollege in Los Angeles will help her out a

great deal.Vickie Miller said this is.her first semester

here and she wanted to get into studentgovernment to beeome involved. "l haveexperience in getting things together butwhat I want to do is get some experiencesfor later on."

The four remaining new senators haveattended FCC before and have sqmeinsight into how student governmentaffects students.

"l want to find out how the student bodyfunctions and what exactly goes on," saidPete Petropulos. "l th¡nk maybe we shouldshow the students what's going on q little

bit more."Some of his ideas to mâke students more

aware of what's going on around themare: having events posted where studentsmight be more likely to see them andpassing out copies of the minutes ofSenate meetings in the cafeteria.

Petropulos feels the student go\rernmentshould be doing more things for thestudents--th¡ngs that will benefit ASB cardholders. He also said, "The most importantthings we could do this year are get thestudents more involved and get togetherand work as a unit."

Miles Mitchell, who attended FCCfull-time last year, said, "l feel it's a goodway to get ¡nto the community and to getto know à lot of people." He also feels hewill gain a positive attitude about people oncampus.

"l've had a brief cortiact with the ASBlast yea with the art competition and I really' enjoyed working with them," said BrianMarki. "As for (ASB) card sales," hecontinued. "l th¡nk it's a marketing problemthat can be solved by a lot of thetechniques used for promoting a product.". Debbie Cabral, continuing FCC student,will also have a seat on the senate. Debbiehas an.AA degree in Liberal Arts, majoredin Public Relations at Fresno StateUniversity and also works on the Rampage'

Toni Ettner, who was chosen asrecoiding secretary, will be responsible forthe keeping of the minutes at êachmeeting, which will require at least 20 hoursof work on her Part.

Those students wiéhing to hold a seat ¡n

the Senate, and who were not appointed atthe senate meeting Tuesday, will have to

entrance of the cafeteria.

New ¿1SB members Jim Sowers, FresÍdent, andSenator Jamie Vercoe, ponder over FCCrs first Senatemeeting.

FCC ocodemygets 'green light'

b

by Tim Sheehan

After one semester of decertification, theState Center Peace Office/s Acaderhy hasbeen given the green light for the fall '79semester. Notification of the recertificationcame in a letter from Norman Boehm,execut¡ve director of the State Commissionof Peace Officers Standards and Training(P.O.S.T.t.

The recertification came about 8 monthsafter the academy was decertified inDecember, POST citing a loss ofconfidence by local law enforcementagencies in the academy as the reason fordecertification.

Three courses of the academY werecertified, of which nruo, the Basic Police

Academy course and Reserve OfficerTraining Module C, will have a trial run ofone sem€ster. The third, Reserve OfficerTraining Module B, will be on for both th¡sand the Spring 'fr) semesters. Continuationof these programs is "dependent upon thesuccqss" in regaining the confidence of the"user agencies," according to FCCPresident Clyde McCully.

McCully went on to explain that thecollege has been working with POSTrepresentatives and officials from the "useragencies" which include the Madera andFresno County Sheriff Departments,Fresno City Police, and others. McCullyalso pointed out that "Our Campus Policecadets use the Academy program when it isnecessary."

WITH the unveiling oÍ the Rampage'snew format, we wish to appeal to the newtype of student gracing the FCC campus.We hope to keep the reader,s eye on thetimes; the format will be eye-appealing, andthe most interest¡ng of the articles will beon the front, where the reader can readthem first. Also, we want to have a series ofphoto spreads to bring out the'artistic sideof our photographic staff.

ON the college scene, it occurs to thiswriter that the selling of beer on campusseems to appeal 1o everyone, including theteachers. By coincidence, a teacher wasthe first in line for the beer sales at theCSUF "Bucket." The sales may be by thebuckets by the first day sales went. Oh! Forthe want of the suds. Could you imaginehalf the students and faculty loosened bythe frothy brew? Well, so much for"higher" education.

I kinda wonder why the payphone by thebusiness building always rings at veryopportune times. Will wonders nevercease.

THE rites of fall sometimes bring out themost changes in the thinking of the collegestudent. The spinning of roller skates and.skateboards, with the rumbling of a moped,seem to make the most daring of thepedestrian type walk toward the curb. Keepan eye out for the dinosaur of the past, thepedestrian who will try to "Stay Alive.".

SPEAKING of the disco h¡t, d¡d anyonesee last Sunday's Doonesbury comic strip?The sigh of the. disco haters has even hitthe funny pages. Will the funnies be justthe old days of the Born Loser getting ii onthe head, or will one's preference ì'o thesounds of music grace the colored pagesthat everyone grabs on Sunday moiniñg.

lT seems to me to be relevant that theparking (sighl on the east side of thecampus is getting to be outrageous. Allwho have parked on this ¿¡rt toi seem tokeep the car was[es in the area very wellstocked with dusff autos.

SPEAKING on tl.re issue of studentapathy, it becomes evident that.it ¡s up tothe individual to go out and make an effortto make things happen. The RamburgerRoundup next Friday is a good example ofthe type of entertainment that thegovernment will try, to get the students tolike the campus and be somewhat of anice-breaker. So, if you can. make an effortto show up at the Ramburger Roundup andenjoy some of the efforts that the faculty,student government, and students will betrying to give you, the student at FCC.

out is like accusing Ted Nugent of artisticintegrity. Hopefully, the band's currentreigñ as publicity kings will afford'them theopportunity to expose the masses toalternatives to the "bring home the paycheck" musicianship we see all too often.

The Oakland and Sacramento showswere marked by cons¡stent performancesfrom the whole þand. The sound systemwas more than adequate. The band coun-terbalanced its overall sound with a fuzztone Les Paul 'and a Fender lead guitar,clear end metallic, underscored by athunderous rh¡hm section overshadowedby a bank keYboards.

Lead sin nry's voice wasup front in making her thefocus of musicallY andvisually. Her mugging and careless dancingneve¡ failed to win enthusiastic approva[from the audience, though more so at the

Oakland audience which seemed to bemore enerþetic.

Song line-up varied l¡ttle from show toshow. They relied heavily on material fromthe first and third albums. Songs like "lnthe Sun" and "X-Offender," hardly noticedby the Sacramento audience, were greétedwith almost nostalgic response in Oaklandwhere Blondie has been an undergroundfavorite for years Last yea/s hits, like"Heart of Glass" and "One WaY orAnother." sounded remarkably fresh forsongs that had been played to death in thelast eighteen months. At both concerts theband came back with a surprise encore, T.Rex's earlyTO's glitter rock cla'ssic, "Bang aGong," proving'that, not only does thisband have chops but their roots are firmlybäsed in high spirited, enterta¡ning rock.

For the more animated Oakland audiencewas a second ehcore of "Rip Her toShreds," a tale of groupie society andrevenge, off the band's first album. Thesóng was met with mayhem from allcorners of the cavernous hall. "Turn on thehouse líghts, so I can see what's going on,"said Debbie. What she saw was 12,0(þpeople dancing and screaming, hoping formore,

After the concert, Debbie was tired andhaggard, but not too much to stop and chatfor a few m¡nutes after with a couple offans. She was cheerful and charming in apink nightie. ln closing I just want to saythose are the bíggest blue eyes l've ev€rse€n.

Just pass¡ng the ten year anniversary ofan event like Woodstock may lead one toreflect upon subjects like "The Sixties"and/or all the changes that we haveexperienced since then.

Woodstock was the conglomeration ofmusic, arts, and fellowship of a generationthat has now been assimilated into"American Culture." The outlook of anentire generation has changed, Why thechanges.came to be may never be known.Whether the changes are for the better isuncertain. ln the end,.established powersrule.

Technologically we have advanced.Musically we have regressed. But perhapsmost important, personally we havebecome more and more self-centered.

One of the most outstanding changes isthat our cultu¡e has vetoed the íruord"freo." This was undoubtedly the mostintense, identifable word of the Woodstockculture.

Now, econorñically, nothing is free butthe air that we breathe. Environmentally theaír that we breathe is not free from poison.

The ozone layer is even saying goodbye tous. The U. S. is so involved in the rest of theworld that an end to our intervention lntoother people's business seems unobtain-able.

As the Woodstock feeling fades, are wedestined only to have memories of thegreat performers? Jimmy Hendrix can .nolongerbe heard playing the "Star SpangledBanne/' (he nevereven gotto play at a ballgamel. Joplin even kissed us off. Surely weare worth more than this.

Brotherhood has become a cry from a

lonely burning bush, at last resort soensomewhere in the [4ojave Desert. Self hasbecome a cry so great that we have todefend ourselves. lf my woids sound silly,or you disagree, iust take a look around thecampus. You will find people who don'tlook, but are searching. People ã¡e not free from what they thinkother people are thinking, while the otherpeople are not free from what they think weare thinking. Thinking is not_free. Just lookat the price of opposhion.

"Come together, right now. . . " are onlyfour words the.B.eatles wrote, but we Ganhear them over our own feelings of fear.

Auditions setfor fqll performqnceby Karen T. Gaul

The d¡rector intensely watches the barestage as two hopefuls try to turn the linesof a script into characters. He watches theirmovements and listens to the tone andvolume of their voices. This is an audition.

Who are the peoöþ who make anaudition what it is? The director plays alarge "role" you might say, but who are thepeople who come to try out for a play, andwhy do they do it?

Sue Christopherson is a Theatre Artsmalor at. FCC. Although she is notauditioning for a part, her function in a playis vital. Sue is interested in the technicalaspects of the theatre, the lighting,costumes, and scenery among otherthings. Shê receives credit for theexperience..

For some people acting is a diversion, forothers an addiction. A few of the people I

talked ,sa¡d they were trying to build abackgroundfora career in acting, but mostof them seemed to feel that it wasexcitement, fun and self satisfaction thatthey seek. One of the auditioners, ànEnglish Literature major told me, "lfs asocial thing. For most people it's just a

hobby."There are problems involved, however.

The long hours of rehearsal cut into sociallife. One person I talked to said he wasgoing to have to drop a class to make moretime if he go! a p€rt in the play. Acting is anemot¡onal and mental drain and requires agreat deal of energy, rnost often with nomonetary gain whatsoever.

Still, people seem to be able to overcomethese problems. "lfs great for your ego,and once it grabs you it'doesn't let go,"said one auditioner.

Many ,of the people I interviewedexpressed a big interest in the man who'sgoing to be directing this play. The directoris Richard Hoffman, former FCC actingteacher, currently working for the Reedleycollege theatre dept. He was 'iimported"èspecially to do this glay, The lmportanceof being Ernest, by Oscar Wilde.

"We brought Hoffman in bëcause he'stalented and has experience. This is also hisfirst opportunity to work in a theatre as niceas ours," says Tom Wright, member of thetheatre dept.

The play is going to be showing Oct.18-ã) and Oct.2Ç27 at 8:15 p.m. with onematinee Oct 25, at 2:ü) p.m.

Blinded by the lightby Tani Mayeda

Many of us born in thetwentieth century consider ourage to be the most enlightenedtolerant, and broadmindedever to exist -on earth. Weview our technology as tangibleproof of our superiority and our'democratic way of life as in-tangiblé proof of the same. Wesee ourselves as devoted to theabolition of all forms ofprejudice, injustice, and tYrânnY.ln short, wê, meaning thetwentieth century American,view ourselves as heroes ofalmost'divine nàture battlingfoes that have plagued mankindsince his'ancient origins.

But if we put the successesand failures of the twentiethcentury American into PersPec-tive, we find that his tech-nology is often as overpoweringas it is utilitarian. For ¡nstance,the computer, originallYdeveloped to cut down tremen-dously on the computation timein solving problerns and to storeinformation, now seriouslythreatens privacY and anonY-mity.

According to the APril,1978, issue of US World andNews Report, "Some 3.9 b¡l-lion records on individuals arestored in the personal datasystems of 97 federalagencies. " Most of theserecords can produce in detailthe personal, medical, financial,and political history of almost,any American in a niatter of

. secondsEven more disturbing is the' proliferation of even more

sophisticated atomic weaponsthat lurk menacingly in thebackground of world Politics.Paragraph 18 of the Declarat¡onin the 1978 Final Document ofthe United Nations Special Ses-

'sions on Disarmament clearlyand precisely expresses theworld concern over disarm-ament: "Removing the threatof a world war -- a nuclear war -is the most acute and urgenttask of thê present day. Man-kind is conf ronted .with achoice: we must halt the armsrace and continue with disarm-ament or face annhilation."

American democracy, too, isof dubiou's success. lt is truethat' we have abolished legalracism and sexism. lt is alsotrue thàt ¡t ¡s w¡th the dollar andnot the vote that power andposition are won in Amêricanpolitics. Representative WrightPatman said in a speech to theNational Press Club: "Thebanking lobby has offered large,amounts of banking stock tocommittee members, immedi-ate loan service to freshmencongressmen, campaign contri-butions, and mass mailings tostockholders in behalf ofpolitical candidates." .

' Our war on prejudice, injus-,tice, and tyranny is a superficialsuccess only. ln the Pr¡vatesector att¡tudes toward raceand sex have changed veryl¡ttle. A statement made byMartin E. Marty, at the Univer-sity of Chicago, in a US Worldand News Report article on

segregation in churches,'graphically demonstrates this.He said,,"Even in-the North,

less than one percént of whitesgo to church with blacks.Church segregation' is aNational problem."

Tyranny is no less a worldreality than it was 5OO yearsago and the United Statesgovernment maintains as itsallies some of

'the most tyran-nical and corrupt governments..Just one str¡k¡ng example isChile with its secret policesystem and !cornmon

'place

torture typical of militarydictatorship.

Twentieth century Americansare more pompous than we areenlightened. We judge thecultural success of our era bythe sizè and number oÎproducts our ffactories produce'and fail to recognize appropri--ately the scholarship of our uni-versities and the literacy valueof the works of our most giftedwriters. We assume humanattitudes have changedbecause legislation hab forcedchanges in human behaviôr:We believe that our society isan improvement over others inthe past because ourtechnology is more advanced.

More and more we are turn-ing away from the seriousstudy of world . history,neglecting almost entirely whatwas good about the past.Perhaps if we could once againread the literature and philo-sophy of past eras'we wouldrecognize that we are morallyand socially no more advancedthan any period of the past.Human nature is the same'theworld over and has not changedsinie the beginning of recordedhistory.

Legislative Vice President of the AssociatedStudents of Fresno Gity College, I feel thatit is my duty to let the students on thiscampus know how I feel about the very real

' issues that fac€ all of us students every day.lrlo òne needs to ¡é totO that the Þarking

situation here at FCC leaves muoh to bedesired, especially in light of the .fact thatthere are more staff spaces than there arestaff members. Or that the resídential areaaround FCC is one of the few that has a onehour time limit. For those students whopark off campus,. this presents more thanjust a slight problem. And the school's planto install a number of parking meters oncampus lust makes matters worse for theaverage student. the seeming "second-class citizen." l1 is the jtrb of studentgovernment, as student "leaders," to workfor the good of the students tq.take stepsto correct injustices.

The Stats Center Comm'unity CollegeDistrict claims to have an "opán door"policy, based on the principle that everyonehas a right to a higher education. Yet theDistrict has literally "slammed the dpo/' inthe face of one small but important groupin the community-the parents of smallchildren. Last year the Board of'Truste .es.

refused to allocate space or funds for anon-campus daycare facility, even thoughsuch a facility could prove invaluable as a' laboratory situation .for FCC's child '

development program m3jors. ln fact, ev€nafter EOC-Headstart offered'to assist infunding a substantial amount of the cost,the District refused to listen to the needs ofthe commuáity.We, as students, can and

. must continue to push for an on-campuschild care center, and, if necessary, allocateASB funds to help actuate this project.

-l intend to open myself to studentcomments, both prior to next week'selection, and aftemrard, because I care andbecau$e only through student input andinvolvement can we, the students, helpourselves. PLEASE, use your right to select

student leaders; voting for student officers¡s just one of the important ways that youcan HELP ASB TO HELP YOU!!!

The Equal Rights Amendment is alwaysin the news, with many women andminorities complaining about their rightsbeing violated. Sg it surprised this reporterto read the following statement on campus:"Any female student at FCC may try out."This qppeared at the end of theadvertisement for Pep Squad tryouts in thisweek's "lnside Report." The ad reads asfollows: "The Pep Squad will be holding a

tryoutfor pep girls on Friday, August 31, inRoom G.l01 at 12 noon. Clinics arescheduled for Wednesday and Thursday,August 29 and 30,.at 12 noon in G-l01. AnyFemale stúdent may try out."

Since males are equally. qualified forpromot¡ng pep and doing yells, I wouldpersonally like to seè any and every malestudent interested in participating to turnout ¡n G-101 at 12 noon on the abovementioned öays.

Let's stop discrimination of any type onour campus. EOUAL RIGHTS FOR ALLI

Student v¡ewshomelqnd

by Mohammad Sariatmadary

Since the shãh's downfallthe situation in lran has notbeen calm but rather morecr¡t¡cal and chaotic. lt has beensix months since the shah wasoverthrown; the iountrY seemson the verge of isolation and thes¡tuat¡on within lran is verYprec.ar¡ous.

Despite all of this, AyatollahKhomeini as a leader of lran istrying to establish a theocracyin the country. Although thereaÍe a few groups who opposehim, still the maj.ority of thepeople are'h¡s supporters.

All people in lran agree withthis point, that Khomeini is..aholyman who has a petfectrecÖrd in. morality, equality and.humanity. He is trying to vViPeout what remains of corruPtion,represslon and oppression butat the same time he is a.pre¡ud¡ced fanatic who doesnot su¡t the tastes of.moderatelranians and even other clergy-men. As a result, there is turbu.-lence, which is seen and heardaround the country.

Last week it was iust like theold days in lran: irnpassioned,

angry and bloody. More than3OO people were injured in theoutbursts, which may havebeen triggered. by Khomeini'.sunease ovèr the spreading in-fluence of his opponents. Therioting by lran's religiouszealots f urther disenchantedthe liberals and left¡sts who hadf ought hard to installKhomeini's theocrats.

Despite the executions andthe rhetoric which werenecessary in the past ¡n order toroot out the calamity of theshah's regime during his 37years of despotism, Khomêininow seems to be following apol¡cy pf moderation. Hisreg¡me may have put close to5OO people up against the wall,but when it comes to the recenttrouble in the streets, théy aremostly shooting in the air.

Although some observersbelieve that he has a narrowvision of lslam and a harshpolicy.of repression jtrst like theshah had, which may cause hiscountry's division, still manypeople maintain that this is aninevitable consequènce of anyrevolut¡on in any age andperiod.

Despite recent cutbacks due to bothProp. 13 and .inflation, the Fresno CityCollege proposed budget for the J979 fiscalyear seenìs to'have coaches as well asadministrative personnel smiling.

The budget, which will go before theState Center College Board for finalapproval next month, allots each ôoachmoney proportional 1o the needs of hissporl.

"Each coach is given a budget. and hemust spend within those boundries,"declared Hans Wiedenhoefer, athleticdirector. Wiedenhoefer decides the por-tions eãch team will receive. "Prices aregoing out of sight, and at the same time weãre

-having to cut back on athleticexpendituies. The wrestling and basketballteams have been hurt the most bY thecutbacks since many of. their conferencesare week long ordeals," Wiedenhoeferstated.

This year each team will be reduced totwo overnight stays per season. lf theschedule of out of town games exceedsthis limit, team members will be expectedto leave town early enough to arrive,wrestle, and return horne all in one day.Another change which is budget relatedforces the student athlete to subsidize hisown food and personal equipment while onthese trios.

How costly are these sports? Where doestheir revenue go? The proposed expendi-tures for the footbail team this year totals$10,483, while the badminton team is given5742. -lhe enormous budget allowed doesnot include furnishing these teamsuniforms, An additional $5,ü)0 has been set

aside in the name of uniforms andequipment. Just where is all that moneyspent?

"Our itself, and

the profi the geJìeral

basketball are the only sports which chargeadmission fees at present, although a

change is being considered and revenuemay be collected from fans of the wrestlingand volleyball teams in the future," statesMerle Martin, who acts as administrativespokesman to the board. "We haveactually reduced costs, while addingseveral new sports - women's basketball,track, volleyball, and swimming - to ourcurriculum," he added.

ThiS year's financial divisions are shapingup in this manner: Badminton S742;baseball $4,800; basketball (men's andwomen's) $6,000; cross country (men's andwomen's) $2,500; football E1g,q&; golf$1,101; tennis (men's) $1,&n (women's)
