'Don't be chicken'

Boqrd odopts plon Blood drive here nexf weekto conserve energy

Believe it or not, FCC couldsave at least $65,230 annuallythrough energy conservation,which would not hinge onfreezing students or candlelitclassrooms. So, why isn't thisdone? It may be soon.

_ The State Center CommunityCollege District trustees tent¿-tively adopted a program to dojust that on Oct. 26.

The program was a result of atrustee-directed search whiehbegan in January lg77 toresearch yays to reduce energyconsumption in the district.

Part of the study ended in areview by a team from PacificGas & Electrie Co. in SanFrancisco and PG&E energyservices engineer Paul Evans,who presented his findings to theboard at a meetir¡g thatculminated in the tentativeapproval of the plan.

Rescheduling 3anitorirl serv-ptimizingexerting

some method. *gg"lì:ii;Evans in a detaileã-report tôde_crease energ:f eonsumption atFCC.

Lowering usage to "thethreshold of pain and thenturning it up a notch and keepingit there," is the most efficìeniwa¡'to decrease consumption, hesaid.

In numbers the energy _ pregram translates to 984,000, to setup an effective energ.y conserv&-tron program, vs. $149,226 inpotential annual savings. Evansstressed that his estimates aredeliberately conservative, imply-rng e-r¡en greater savings may bepossrþle.

This is the program thetrustees will begin to apply toFCC very soon.

Students at City Collegeshould keep a lookout for anunusual visitor on campus Nov.13 a.nd 14.

The visitor? A large yellowchicken from the Centrãl ialifor-nia Blood Bank requesting blooddonations to be given at the FCCblood drive Nov. 15 and 16 from11 a.m, to 2 p.m. at the StudentCenter.

Students who ¿ren't "chicken"will help supply the 130 pintsneeded daily by patients in valleyhospitals. Their donations willalso assure adequate credits fortheir own futuró use.

This means blood will not haveto be purchased if needed in thefuture by giving towards thepre-deposit plan,

Those planning to donateshould be in good health, weighat least 110 pounds and be off allmedieations 72 hours prior to thedrive. Some medicätions areacceptable such as thyroid andbirth-control. There ean be nohistory of hepatitis, jaundice,tuberculosis, heart disease orcancer.

The donor ,is asked to eat agood meal prior to the donation.This is a change from pastpolicies of"no fried foods or dãiryproducts." It is now stressed thatthe donor try to eat before givingblood.

Hqnsen elevqtedto chtlncellor's post

Current Vice Chancellor, Edu-cation, John S. Hansen waschosen to succeed Dr. CharlesChapman as chancellor of theSCCCD luesday night.

Hansen; 57, is a native ofFresno and has served asadministrative dean and vicepresident of FCC.

Hansen was elected uiani-mously by the district board oftrustees. He will take over thechancellor's job upon Chapman'sretirement Jan. 5.

It's a mixture of country, punkrock, rhythm and blues, evensoul and some notorious rock androll like "\f,Ihen the Whip GoesDown" and "Shatterd". theyeven do their own version of anold Temptations song, "Just MyImagination," which I think isbetter than the original.

rA Single tlantis good effort

By Dennie Holseybrook

the new album from EltonJoh¡, A Single Man, is a welcomerelief and a surprise to mostElton fans. The relief is that itwas new Elton tunes we thoughtwe would never hear.

the surprise, thoughi was thathis partner all these years,Bernie laupin, did not write anyof the lyries on the album (he'swriting þics with Alice Coopernow). His new lyrieist is GaryOsborne.

Osborne is a good lyricist andworks well with Elton's melodies. However, the magic thatwas there i9 now gone. Dodt getme wrong, I like the album. Allthe songs are presented in thenormal Elton John fashion andhis voice and piano playing is upto par.

But it seems hard to believethat he is writing with someoneelse after all these years. Eltonuses new musicians on thealbum: Steve Holly on drums(who plays with lVings now),Clive Franks (Elton's co-producer on the album alongwith himselfJ on bass, TimRenwick on guitars.

Ray Cooper' member of his oldband, makes a musical appear-ance, on the album along withDavey Johnstone (who also was a

member of his old band). A newband, lyricist" producers (Eltonand Clive Franks instead of GusDudgen, his producer up to now).It's no wonder his new album iscalled'4, Single Man."

One old n¿me th¡t appesrs onthe albun is Paul Buckmaster,who arranges the strings on thealbum and has been on many ofElton's earlier albums Most ofthe songs on the album a¡e slow,which featr¡res Elton's dynamicvoice and piauo

hasng),but

fi¡e, mellow song), Big Dipper (acatchy tune about a homosexualencounter), It Ain't Gonna BeEasy (another fine, mellow tunethat features fine guitar playingby Tim Renwiek), and lviadiresõ'(an eT-cellert song featuringsome fine piano by Elton). -

A Single Man is a good efforton Elton's part. And it grows onyou the more you listen to it.However, without BernieTaupin, it's only half as good as itcould be.

Valdez, founder of El TeatroCampesino, composed the playafter reading legal transcrþts,documents, letters aud news-pepe-rs of the period. The playran for 14 performances as partof the Taper's New Theatre ForNow series. Then it reopened inAug. 17 through Oct. i as thefirst play of the 1978-79 season atthe Mark Taper Forum.

Zoot Suit is based on theSleepy Lagoon case, in which 2lChicano youths were arrestedand convicted in a mass trial, theconvietion of another Chie¿noyouth in L942, and also of riotsthat took place in 1918.

Servieemen took the l¿w intotheir own hands and rioted inseveral Chie¿no ba¡rios in L.4.,beating and stripping everyonewho wore the zoot suit, who weremogtly Chicano youtb.

His friend and main characteris Henry Renya (Daniel Valdez),who is musical director for theplay and brother of Luis.Valdez.Hank, as he is known by thepress and by the L.A. policedepartment, is leader ofthe SEthstreet _gang who started thepachucoismo era.

Senole's use

By Jdie Bcnft¿z

It seems to me that studentgovernment has come a long wayin becoming more and more likenational government. . .whosepresident I won't mention,exeept that a few years sgo someASB officers went îo hisinauguration: they seem to havethe most effective way ofchanging things around to suitthemselves...using the constËtution as a erutch!

of 'loophole' hit

OPINIONLast week, for example, the

ASB Senate let a personrepresenting a major club oncampus, spe¿k on the club'sbehalf (ineluding him in theagenda) but what a coincidencethat when things started gettinga little hot around the coll¡ar. aMr. Gore pulled out a littteloophole out of constitutional hatin the form of an article r'vhichstates that to participate in ASByou must have an ASB card.

They had'never rnentioned itbefore and certainly not to thestudent involved, until theyasked him to leave because ofit. I

commissioner or gonimitteemember and had nothing to dowith students who sat in on theirmeetings.

then at this week's Senatemeeting, the group reeessed inhopes of finding a quorum (they

only had 12 members presentand needed 14, or twothirds tomake a quorum) and. did notsucceed in gétting the t4students.

ih" rurn" senator then cameup with another little loophole,stating that to arrive at aquorum you only count thesen'ators present, not the òthermembers who also vote and areexpected to attend. if that wasthe case, why did they feel theneed to recess when if this weretrue, there had been a quorum tobegin with?

If the United St¿tes Senatewas allowed to change theconstitution, along with years ofprecedenee, in a few minutes,Nixon.would have had it made.lVhy then is it allowed fci., asenator (not the president, or theexecutive committee, or a consti-tutional review committee) tochange FCC's constitution orhow it is interpreted withoutreviewing it thoroughly?

I suggest that the Senateeither review the'eonstitutionand stick tô it or take a look atthe þrson or people who aretrying to take matters into theirown hands.

I invite all interested studentsto attend the next Senate

'A rbilrery' drug sfqnce h¡II hope your readers don't mind

In the Oct. 19 issue of the

newspaper st¿if for "ballyhooing" about pot use.

I would like Mr. Kennedy (andanyone else who might beinterested) to consider the caseof a young college student inMissouri.

Jeny Mitchell was arrestedtwo years ago and sentenced toseven years in prison for thenon-profit transfer of $5 worth ofmarijuana, meaning he gavesome pot to a supposed friendwho turned out to be anundercover agent.

In July of this year, Gov.Teasdalè of Missouri refused topardon or commute Jerry'ssentence so he could return to hisstudies at college. The governorfurther stated that he sawnothing wrong with a law thatprovides the same penalties forminor possession ofpot as it doesIor rape.

Since then an appeal has been.ñled with the U.S. District Courtasking for federal review of theconstitutionality of the Missouripot law which calls for a sentenceof five years to life for sale of anyamount of marijuana whether ornot,'prolit is involved.

I am sure Jerry Mitchell feelsthat the question of marijuanalegislation is worthy of someconsideration.

And he's not the only -one.

There are thousands of people inthis country who have had theirlives ruined aud their freedomtaken awey because they use asubstance that socíety arbitrarilydeems unacceptable.

the hypocrisy of .â,merica'sattitude towards drugs isastounding. The people whocondemn Jerry Mitchell and themillions of pot smokers like himare often the same people whodestroy their health and thehealth of others around them byusing drugs like nicoti¡e andother "acceptable" drugs such asalcohol and the prescribedamphetamines and barbituateswhich are so popular in oursociety.

How c¿n we (at least with auysemblanee of honesty) condem¡and severely punish a behaviorthat we ourselves participate in?

We can't.
