ConlrostsThe campus of Fresno City

College lies dormant in thestillness of the August night onlyto wake up to the stirring of feetupon its concrete. The walkwaysseem to liven up with the movingabout of organisms that left only afew months before. Some of thebeings are familiar but some ofthem seem new to the camous.

It is the third week in Augustwhen the students come back tothe halls of the FCC to continuetheir education. The nights are

only stirred by the night student, adiff erent breed, who movesslowly along the walkways. Theday student seems to scurry fromclass 1o class, trying to avoidsome people that he knows.

The starting of school is incomolete contrast to the slowdays in July when the school is inquiet rest, waiting for the daY inAugust when the students comeback to the place where theireducation continues.

Scqggs' greqtby Jeff Krause

"What Can I Say" is the title ofa Boz Scaggs hit. lt also appliesto this reviewer, who finds himselfat a loss for words to describe theBoz Scaggs òoncert. So the word"grea('will have to apply.

He started the show with hisbig hit, "Low Down," and thenproceeded to perform two otherhiß, "What can I Say," and"Geoigía."

Ad sq now that he had thecrowd reeling ater three hits in arow, he played a few songs fromhis long-awaited new albumwhich is to be released soon. lfthe other songs are as good asthose he played, the album isbound to be a winner.

While most performers haveonly a few hits which people canrecognize this is not the case withBoz Scaggs.

Rather than having to spreadthe b¡g songs apart Boz Scaggswas able to play a concert of onlyhis hits one after another.

Boz Scaggs ha'd an excellent 14man band to accompany him.During the course of the concert

eaøh hað a chance to perform in

,the spotl¡ght and show off histalents. Talent was quite evident,with Boz Scaggs making his ownrinstrumental magic as he playedboth keyboard and guitar.

The largé Selland Arena crowdiwas very receptive througtfout theshow, but they rose to the'occasion to give a standingovation after a heavy performance'ot "Lido Schuffle". After thìs theband lsft the stage but that wouldnot be all, no not tonight. Theappreciative audience broughtBoz Scaggs back out with theircheering and applause, foi not¡ust one encore, but two of them.

Before Boz Scaggs left thestage for the last time he indicatedto the crowd that although thiswas his first Fresno concertappearance, it would be by no.means his last.

The opening act for BozScaggs was a female trio ofsingers and guitarist, called "TheRoãches". Who knows, mäybèsomeday they will make it big.Each had a very good voice, butthe mater¡al they played had togo.

Clqss cutbqcks,enrollment stqble

by Tim Sheehan

"We are trying to meet the¡nterests of the greatest numberof students." So states Dr. ArthurEllish, Dean of lnstruction atFresno City College as thecampus moves into its secondyear with a cut-back selection ofclasses. Despite rumors of a fivepercent drop in enrollment, Ellishcontends that "¡t's too soon tomake any sort of prediction, butenrollment seems similar to lastyea/s figures."

The cutback in class offeringswas a result of Proposition 13,which eventually caused a virtualelimination of off-campus offer-ings and slashing evening andSaturday classes by 25o/o. Day-time offerings, however, remainrelatively constant. The HighSchool Enrichment Program,which enables high school stu-

dents to take college courses, hasshown steady and consistentgrowth and thus has escãped theaxe.

Another item Ell¡sh discussedduring a RAMPAGE interviewwas the rumor that has beencirculating that alleges thatstudents with registration linecards for a particular day arriveöto find registration closed. Whenquestioned about this. Ellishexclaimed, "lt's news to me,"then went on to explain thatregistration was open at all timesthat line cards had been issuedfor, but that one day of lateregistration, August 15, for linecard students who failed to showup for their appo¡ntment was cancelled because the administrationfelt that it wasn't needed. Ellishstressed that no line cards hadbeen issued for that date.

What happenedT Sure therewas a lot of Disco around before,but this summer we have beenbombarded with it by some bigname bands. ELO is just one ofthese.

Their latest album opens with"Shine A Little Love". lt was thefirst.single, bu¡ the radio versionhardly does justice to it, cuttingout the irftro which sets the scene.ELO's almost LJFOic sound.

The next cut, "Confusion," hasmany too many "catches" in it. ltwill catch your ear at first. butafter a short time it leaves yourears aching for the next song.

The high point on side one is asong that will get nowhere. "NeedHer Love" is a slow tempo balladthat tetls simply of all thenon-sense that love makes youfeel.

ELO's 'Discovery'Ending side one is "The Diary

of Horace Whimp". Starting outwith the same sound found in "MrBlue Sky", on the Out Of TheElue album, the song sounds veryrepptitive. but the vocals anddelivery (Ouasi-Sgt. Peppers,Beatles) save it.

Side two opens with "LastTrain to London". Some bandsare returning to their roots(Chicago), and ELO must bedoing the same. For the first halfof th¡s song sounds not at allunlike "Showdown", but theyjump out of that quickly and finishin the disco theme.

"Midnight Blue" is the secondballad of the album, but this timethe ELO spaceship seems to gonowhere. Perhaps the alburn title"Discovery" refers to their dis-covery of comedy. They do agreat imitation of Andy Gibb for a

short interlude in this song."On The Run" has a fast tempo

and worthless lyrics.Again searching out the Past,

they now have returned to the ,4

New World's Record album,regurgitating the funky-beat bal-lad sound and coming out with"Wishing".

The last song on the album ìs

"Don't Bring Me Down" (also

released as a single). The bestthing to do ¡s to iump uP, turn thestereo up - Loud, anct Party.

The album has a lot of goodsounds on it, but not a whole lotof good music. RePetition runsrampant, and commercialitY is atcritical level. ELO, renowned as aband that searches out newsounds in the progressive sYm-phonic vein, has found an,audience. Now theY simPlY wishto keep it (and possiblY win somedisco friends). But try¡ng to keePthe reigns on commercial successhas found them hollow. ELO -Don't Bring Me Down.

Athletes preporefor fqll compqigns

bv Henry Gutierrez

The Fresno City College sportsscene is in the hands of five'competent coaches here oncampus. Bill Musick, SaraDoughertey, Bill Neal, Bob Fries,and Gene Stephens will be gettingtheir respective athletic teams intogear for the fall sports scene.

On the football gridiron, BillMusick will start his f irstcampaign as head footballmentor. Musick will try to keepthe winning tradilion that was lefthim by Clare Slaughter. Musickwill be gearing.-his squad to theSeptember'15 opener here againstSan Maleo.

Musick will keep the same tYPeof offense and will have a fewthings different, but he willbasically try to meld his teambehind the Clare Slaughter type ofgame plan.

"The quarterback position willmost likely be taken by returningsophomore Dewayne DeMantY,"Musick quipped. "Even though hehurt his hand playing softball, theday before practice started, he'llprobably be our starting signal

caller.""We have 24 players coming

over from the City County footballteams and we have threef reshmen behind DeManty,"Musick added.

Musick stated thdt MattSchoettler and Jeff Dockweilleralong with Verlin Bishop willanchor down the lines for theRams this upcoming year. "Theattitude the kids this year have isgreal," Musick commented. "Wehave to soñ through the playersand find out who will be in whatPos¡tion.r'

The Rams will host San Mateoon Sept. 15 in the grid opener atRatcliffe Stadium.

On the other s¡de of the coín,the FCC cross country team willhave to rely on the experience ofcoach Bob Fries. Fries com-

mented that, "The mainstay otthe men's team will be ScottThornton, an outstanding runnerf rom Hoover High School."Returning runners Scott Swensonand Dave Hagopian will be able tocontribute a lot for the team.

Coach Fries seemed optomist¡con the squad and wishes that anyrunner who wishes to join theteam would please conlact him.

cross country team, Fries said,"Serena Domingues is perhapsour top runner now, She trainedwell, and, she will be comple.mented by Ann Olson, a returnee,and a host of, new gals."

Diana Macias, a track standout,will also come out to help thecross country team. Fries alsohopes Serena Domingues' sisterfrom Mariposa will join the team.

Gene Stephens' water poloteam will be formed aroundreturning player DennisGerrish. Gerrish, a sophomorefrom Clovis, will be the ace for thesquad, according to Stephens.

John Bain, Rick Dutra, RickKaten, and Sam Maine will lendtheir expertise to the squad.

Freshmen Oscar Garza, MattLewis, Joe Vega, and Mike Mosierwill give Coach Stephens a teamthat w¡ll have to be reckoned within the Valley Conference.

Next week the Volleyball andSoccer team coaches will behighlighted on the sports sectionof the Rampage.

muttering, go walking awaytowards the fountain.

Two f emale studentsstopped and asked me whereto register, since the'cafeteriawas closed and I suggestedthey check at the StudentServices Building. lt should benoted that these same twostudents had driven 70 milesto come and regis-ter, and thatthey had to come back anotherday to register, a total of 28Omiles in two days, because ofno advance notif ¡cat¡on of can-celled days of registration.

Sometimes ¡t seems thatFresno City College Adminis-tration thinks of its ownexpenditures, but not those ofits students or prospectivestudents.

lam sure we are all.glad thatthe college saved the taxpayer's money by closingregistration f or two days,while the students whowanted to register piled up to asufficient number to make itworth the expense of openingregistration again.

Since the main purpose ofthis institution is the educationof students it would seem thata little more planning andforethought should be appliedto the registration proceduresso the inconvenience does notreoccur.

Cqncellqti on oflqte reg¡strqtion toweiste il.questi oned"No students to register"

was the reason giveq by Dr.Lasher's office for the closingdown of registration for theday of August 1 5. And eventhough the college catalogueand schedule of classes bothsaid there was to be registra-tion on the 14th of August, Dr.Lasher's office informed methat registration on the 14 hadbeen cancelled prior to thestart of f all regiqtration.

When I asked whether anynotif ication was sent tostudents prior to the day of thechange, I was informed it wasnot necessary, as no line cardswere issued and that studentswho were supposed to registerprior ,to those dates but didn'twouldn't come those dates be-cause "They all call in and findout when next they can regis-ter. ' '

Opin¡onI do not agree with this

because even though I

registered on the 1Oth, I wason campus both of these daysand there weie a few'studentswaiting for Registration toopen on both days and a fewmore through out the dày.
