festivol Feb.3A program of short Super I

films produced by FCC studentswill be presented in the RecitalHall Friday night, Feb. 3, at 7:30p.m. All of the films to. be sbownwere produced last semester byJim Piper's filmmakiñg class,English 3148.

The films include dramas,documentaries, animated work,special effects, and satire, andrange from four to 20 minuteslong. Most of the studentsrepresented in the festival hadno experience prior to taking theclass. All films are Super 8 withsound tracks, and some featurelip sync dialogue.

Piper feels that filmmaking is along neglqcted form of pèrsonalexpression. Students can com-

municai,c nrrx¡ds and ideas in filmthat can't be communicated inothen ways, he noted.

Super 8 format, the same usedby countless thousands of homemovie enthusiasts, is the leastexpensive film format to work in,and sound tracks are relativelysimple to prepare.

This is the seventh biannualfestival by FCC filmmakingstudents. The event is open to allstude¡rts and to the community,and is jointly sponsored by theCommunity Service Office.

A donation of $l is requested,and all proceeds will be returnedto this semester's filmmakingstudents to help finance filmsin progress.

Sue Mqrti n t elevqted to ,president,finds she enioys coping with problemr

In fall, 1964, Vice PresidentSusie Hollman suceeeded RickCompstock in the Student Senateoresidency.-

In 19?8, Sue Martin suceeededSteve Segal as ÂSB President

program at Fresno State Univer-sity.

Martin was elected as ASBexecutive vice president lastspring lo serve a Year term'- "I have to admit," Martinconfessed, "I was very nervouswhen they told me I was going tosucceed to the president, becauseI didn't really know what the jobentailed or what I'd be doing."

Martin says she is still gettingthe feel of her new Position' butfeels comfortable with the work.

"I didn't realize until I startedworking in it what the job took inand what you had to do. I didn'trealize how many meetings Iwould be going to and that I'mthe student representative forthe school in anY circumstance."

According to Richard Mata'ASB recording secretary and aformer president, an ASB Presi-dent attends approximatelY 650meetings during a Year's term.

"Right now I'm taking in theiob of both the executive vice

þresident and president," Martinexplained. "Until we have aquorum I can't apPoint a newexecutive vice President."

More and more students arechoosing not to buy ASBmembersh ips d urin g registrationfor a variety of reasons. Manyfeel that they don't get theirmoney'sworth. What many don'trealizè is that the money theyspend for the sticker which isaffixed tô their student identifi-cation card is recycled back intospecial services for students.

"ASB is an organization oncampus for the students. In thepast most people used to buY anASB sticker. In the fall, about 60

per cent of the studenf, bodybought ASB cards. Now, it'sgotten down to the point whereonly about a fourth of the studentbody are buying ASB cards. îhething is, we want to serve onlyASB- members, not the wholestudent body."

With an ASB sticker you canapply for ASB scholarships, ASBloans, get into the fall footballgames free, and when films arebrought into the school, you canbe admitted free.

"The costs of the films isusuallj, about 75 cents to $1 fornon-ASB card holders. So afteryou've gone to two or threefootball games or two or threemovies you've almost paid foryour ASB card. If you go get anASB loan (you can receive up to$75), you've already paid for it."

The ASB suggested budget,which anticipated over twice theamount of money AssoeiatedStudent Body sticker salesbrought in, will have to manage arather large cutback in finances.

"It's got to be a big cut,"Martin said, "But t,heie are areasthat we can't cut in, like ourfinancial aid. We really can't cutthere. We'll make cuts there, butwe won't cut as much there as wewill someplace else, beeause thatbenefits the student right off.Like with thc ASB loans, peoplecouldn't get thcir books becausethey couldn't gel their loans."

The first change the 1978st.udent Sonate has made so farconcerns emergency loans.

"We decided on our ASB loansthaù we wanted only ASB cardholders to get on ASB emer-gency loan. It caused a .littleproblem, because we changedour policy in which Mr. (Donald)Watson (director, financial aidsand placement) decided wasmid-stream and they startedgiving out ASB loans to peoplewho were non-members on thebasis that if they get an ASBloan, they'd buy an ASB card outof the loan money.

"Well. we don't feel that that's

quite right because that makes itwhen an ASB c¿rd holder wantsa loan then there isn't any moneyfor them. We want it so that ifyou have an ASB card you canget a loan. That's what the newprocedure is. It started Friday."

But u¡ithin the first, semesterweek, the new procedure, likesome new changes that takegetting used to, posed somedifficulties.

"The tirst problem that I hadto handle was people were beingtold that they couldn't get ASBloans, so they started coming uphere (ASB office). I felt that itwas my obligation as theirrepresentative to go find outwhat was going on."

The task was not a simple onebut resolved with the under-standing of the new procedure.

Martin said the Senate en-courages student response inFCC issues and activities.

"Anything that the studentfeels the need to have changed orsuggestions he might have to getpeople interested around carhpusor get something dane to helpthem, we're willing to try towork on it." Martin continued.

"In the past, the studentswanted. the library open atcertain hours in the evening andon Saturday, and Richard (Mata)workeiì on that and go( it forthem. Last semester anotherthing we did was to gettypewriters so that the studentscould use them for free. I'd like tosee this patio down here (behindthe Bookstore) used sometimeand work on that to see ifstudents are interested in usingll,.

Comments and suggestions arewelcomed in the ASB office,SC-205 (above the Bookstore). IfMartin or Mata is not in the officeat the time, Secretary PeggyErickson will see that theyreceive all letters as soon aspossible.

"I'm interested in seeing someclubs organized. The person in

our otTice that works with theclubs is the president pro temand unfortunately at, thismoment we don't have apresident pro tem. His termended last fall, so Tyrie (Bivings,

'legislative vice president) willappóint a new one when we haveour first or second meeting, .

"The president pro tem'salmost sole function is to workwith the clubs and the organiza-tions and have meetings withthem once a week. As of now, wedon't have a quorum. I don'tknow how come it w¡:c set upthat way, but almost everysemester they elect nine newsenators. At the end of thesemester some leave and wehave to elect some more. Wehave nine open positions and weneed people to get involved inthat."

Petitions for ASB senators willcome out next week and theelection will be held on Feb. 7and 8.

"As soon as we get a quorum,we want to get underway andstart getting some of theactivities around so students canstart going to them. I think thething that I'm most concernedwith this semester and anvsemester from now on is that itseems that students aren'tinvolved." Martin said.

"I'd like to see them getinvolved and understand whatthe student government does forthem. I don't think they knowwhat it does. We try to bringactivities for them, and thissemester we're going to have ahard time bringing activitiesbecause not enough studentshave shown enough interest bybuying an ASB card."

Commented Mata, "I wouldlike to see more people who haveno idea what politics are and whohave never been involved, getinvolved."

A good way to start is toattend the Senate meetings heldevery Tuesday afternoon at 1p.m., if not to participate, at least

to observe. Call the ASB office at442-4600 extension 8720 to findthe exact place of the meetingand further details.

"I think that once they got inhere," Martin said, "if they'd getinvolved with the whole idea ofstudent government, they wouldchange their mind.

"When I first decided tobêcorñe a write-in candidate Idecided that I'd get in there andsee what I could do to help thephysical education department.At that point I was involved withthe volleyball team and theywere concerned because theyweren't able to get awards.Being on a team, I felt that itwasn't fair. They worked hardand they weren't getting any-thing to show that they hadworked hard. I wanted to seewhat I could do toward helpingthem.

"After I got in here I found outother things that took myinterest. I wasn't just here forthat. In the fall, we wer'e ask'edby the soccer team to awa¡dthem jackets. I was surprisedbecause I didn't feel that weshould award them with jackets.We did end up telling them thatwe'd pay for half of their jackets.I only felt it was right because inhigh schoot the guys always hadto buy their own jackets and Idon't feel that college should beany different. So as far assticking with that I had intendedto do when I first decided tocome in (last semester), Ihaven't."

Martin is becoming moreconfident with her new positionas she is experiencing the dutiesas well as the pleasure of beingstudent president.

"This last week has changedmy mind on a lot of things. Idecided that I really enjoy beinghere. I feel that I have thesupport of the Senate membersthat are still present and theadministration too.

"I'm not trying to buck theadministration and try to getaway from them and not workwith them. We work really welltogether, I think. I don't thinkwe'd get anything done il wedidn't work together well."

VC footbqll coqchesqsk for COS probe

If six Valley Conferencefootball coaches get their way,the recruiting methods used inthe COS football program will beinvestigated.

Head football coaches at six ofthe eight conference schools havesigned a letter sent to adminis-.trators and athletic officials ateach conference school.

The contests ask for theconference commissioner's officeto look into COS's program andreport their findings by the endof the spring semester.

Conference CommissionerRalph Olsen said the problemwill be on the agenda of theconference's March 3 meeting inModesto.

Coaches signing the letterwere Bill Gott of Delta, Dewey

Guerra of American Rivei,Lowell Herbert of SacramentoCity, Bob Hoegh of Modesto,John Perkins of Reedley andClare Slaughter of FCC.

Two coaches didn't sign theletter. One was Al Branco ofCOS. The other was Coit Conantof Cosumnes River, who said hewanted to see some - validevidence on the matter.

Though COS officials havedenied any wrongdoing, thecoaches who signed the letterfeel some questions need to beanswered.

Coach Slaughter stated,"We're not accusing .COS ofanything. lVe decided that anyschool who had more than 10 percent of their 48-member'travel-ing squad from out of district

should be investþted.'Slaughter said that the 10

percent $'as an "arbitraryfigure," and that "this was only afootbalì matter." COS had 22players from out cf district onthei¡ traveling squad.

Slaughter also added, "Youhave to make a stand againstrecruiting, We don't recruit, andwhen something doesn't lookright it should be investigated."

COS was disciplined oncebefore for football recruitingviolations. Tñey wetb put onprobation in 1968 for having 22non-district players.

As for a possible penalty forCOS if they are found to be guiltyof recruiting violations, thecommissioner's office said theywill cross that bridge when theycome to it.

Does Mediqlgnore FCC?

By Dave Coulson

Does anyone really know what happened to FCC? SometimesI wonder if some members of the local media haven't forgoftenthat FCC still exists when I watch a local news program oi readthe Fresno Guide.

For those in the media who are unfamiliar with the college I'tltry to refresh your memory.

FCC is a community college located between Blackstone,McKinley, Maroa, Weldon and College Avenues.

The campus has an enrollment of between 16,000 and 18,000students depending on the semester. The Rams are also,surprisingly enough, represented by some of the best athleticteams in the state.

For example, the football teams have won four statechampionships. FCC's wrestlers have added three state crownsand many individual state titles.

yoln -th9-

red - and gold. Roscoe Pondexter, a former prc

basketball performer, at one time thrilled R¿m fans.Former es once guided

the Ram nd Jim Merlocurrently

And that's just a small sample. FCC also is known for itscoaches. lback eoach Bobby Fries is nationally recognized andfootb¿ll coach Clare Slaughter h¿s one of the best records in thestate.

FCC also is i¡ one of the toughest conferences in the state.COS, Delta, Modesto and Americ¿n River also have äneathletic progratns.

But if it w¿sn't for The Fresno Bee you might have dilficultyfinding out the results of FCC athletic endeavors. Fresno Statôhas finally becone a winner, and has stolen most of thêpublicity., H¿ts off to Fresno St¿te for their success, but FCC is still -

doing quite well, thank you. Both the wrestling and basketballare in contention for league titles but you wouldn't know it byreading the Fresno Guide or by watching any of the localnewscasts.

In c¿se the loeål media has missed the point, FCC is still aliveand doing well.

Luck ond tqlent dropRom cclgers out of first

A 30-foot hook shot that hadeyes on it may have c¿used theRams basketball team to suffer abroken heart.

the Rams looked like thevwould be 4-0 with a victory ovei

night,battle

alazarhad a prayer answered when his8O-foot hook went in at thebtzzet to lift Amörican RiverDast FCC 79-?8 in Sacramento.

The Rams then came homea ehance to tie Delta for first

. place. But the Rams fell short asthe Mustangs triumphed 92-86.

Coach Chuck Stark was notice-ably upset with the Rams' secondstraight narrow defeat. "It'stough," he said, "because wecould have won both games."

The Rams, who trailed most ofthe way against Delta, tied theMustangs at 84 all with less thana minute to play.

FCC led only once in the game,at 69-68 with nine minutes to

play. Greg Purvis had hisgreatest game as a Ram, hitting17 ol 22 shots and scoring 3?points. Mike Hester tallied 30points to pace the Mustangattack.

Other Rams scoring in doublefigures were John Meyer, 12, andKevin Manley, 10. The Ramsdidn't arrive home from Sacra-mento until 2 a.m. and seemed tobe tired from the travel and theprevious game.

"We just didn't play withpatience," stated Stark. "Weplayed as.hard as we could but'we made too many mistakes," headded.

Assistanl coach Dick Katencommented "The schedule madethis game seem more like an ,

away game than a home game."The Mustangs helped their causeby hitting 22 o1 26 from the freethrow line.

Against American River theRams never led until RonChatman scored two of his eight

points with 11 seconds to play.Chatman added 10 rebounds asthe Rams cont¡oled the boards43-25. they alsö out reboundedDelta 4l-28.

The Rams trailed the Beaversby 15 points at halftime beforerallying in the second half. FCCused a high. pressure pressingdefense to get back into thegame.

Stark said "\ile made a greatcomeback and then lost on alircky shot. Salazar wasn't evenlooking at the basket when heshot."

Salazar paced the Beaverswith 29 points. Meyer had 18points and 11 rebounds to leadthe Rams in both departments.

Woody York and Manley eachscored 14 points and Purvisadded 13 to keep FCC close.

The Rams travel to Visalia,Saturday night, to play COS andStark sees it as an importantgame. "We have to win if wewant to stay'in the race."

Purvis ioins elite groupw¡th 37 point performonce

When Greg Purvis ripped thenet's for 37 points Saturday nightit was onç of the best scoringgames a Ram player had everhad.

The list of other Rams to scorethat many points in a gameincludes current FSU star EddieAdams, Lonnie Hughey, TimNatsues, Lloyd Sanders andHenry Williams.

Many of the games hadinteresting sidelights to them.the iast Ram to score in thestratospheçe was Adams in the1975-76 season. -

When Adams scored 42 pointsit was the fourth highest scoringgame in Ram history. He now is

the leading scorer for FresnoState.

Probably the most unlikeìyplayer to score big for the Ramswas Williams. When he scored 37points in a 1970-71 game it wasmore than 25 points over hisseason's average.

Tim Natsues had an interestedspectator when he ripped off 41points against COS in the 1967-68season. UCLA's coach GaryCunningham (then the assistanteoach at UCLA) was scoutingNatsues for a possible scholar-ship. He also added 22 assists tohis already impressive statistics.

Surprisingly, though, UCLAgave the scþolarship to someone

else. John Vallely beat Natsuesout for it, but he weht on to showhe deserved it. Vallely earnedAll-American status at UCLAand went on to play in the NBA.

When Sanders scored 43points in a game during the 1966Modesto Tournament. he broke.the record of Hughey, who hadscored 41 points in a tou¡namentgame in 1963.

Hughey also had two other biggames during the 1963-64 season.The 29-point per game scorer setthe existing school record of 53points against Reedley and had agame of 49 points in the StateTournament against Pierce Col-lege.

So you can see that Purvis is ingood company.

lohnston Arhlete of WeekRam wrestler Don Johnston

was named athlete of the weekMonday in the weeklY meeting ofthe Valley SPortscasters andSportswriters.

Johnston, the No. 2 rated 167

pounder in the state, earned a f-iäraw with Jeff Gianni of Palomarin the first annual North-SouthAll-Star Wrestling classic inBakersfield.

Coaching the girts team is themen's head basketball coach,Charles Stark. The girls will bepl_aylng the same type of,;chedule as the men's ball<etbalteam, except the girls will beplaying Merced instead ofCosumnes River.

When asked about the team's

chances in the new league,,starkreplied, "I have no ideã how theteam will do. This i^s our fi¡styear in the league and I don'tknow how tough the oppositionls.

Although it is Fresno's firstyear in the women's league,American River, Delta, Saira-mento and Modesto have hadleague competition among them-selves for a few years.

A well-balanced team may be

the key to a winning season forthe Rams. The Rams have a bluechip player in 6-0 Connie Gooch.

Gooch is a graduate of HooverHigh and a transfer student fromNevada, Las Vegas, where shehad a basketball scholarship.Coach Stark expects her to'be atop rebounder,

Along with Gooch on thefrontline are 6-0 Belinda Haslip,with no prior experience, and

5-10 Sarah Pension, a lbrmerEdison star, who played in theCity County All-Star game.

Also a strong forward is 5-9Becky Royce from Sierra UnionHigh. At the guard there is LindaHarvey, a slick ball handler fromRoosevelt. She played in the CityCounty All-Star game in 19??.

She is joined at guard byRoosevelt teammate JoannGanduglia. Also at guard areLisa Guzman from Bullard, Pearl

By Ken Enloe

For those ofyou who may havebeen getting rather peeved''cause the only albums reviewedhere are new rock releases, thisone's for you; an old rock release!

Yes's album, "Fragile," isprobably one of theh best-knownalbums, due to early Top-40's-

air-time of "Runabout," and to alesser degree, "Long DistanceRunaround."

But those of us who wentbeyond the radio and bought thealbum discovered a mYriad ofeood things. An examPle is .

We'll have towait and see. . .

different sets ol lYrics areintertwined in this strange cut.Other cuts include "South Side oflhe Sky," "The Fish (ShindleriaPraematurus)" (does anyoneknow what that means?), "MoodFor A Day," and probably one ofthe shortest cuts on anY album,"Five PerCent For Nothing,"lasting a whopping 34 seconds!

All-in all, "Fragile" is a goodway to find out what'Yes is allabout. Even if you don't thinkyou will like their stuff, You oweit to yourself to check it out. Idon't think you'll be disaP-pointed.

Dear EditorrI'm writing this resPonse to

the letter of criticism Printed inthe Dec. 15 issue of theRampage. Although I feel thewritãrs of this letter don'tdeserve an answer, I'll give themone anyway.

Fresno State UniversitY's AhForce ROTC program will beginin the fall of 1978. To qualifY forthe prcgram, the manY rgluirg-ments iñcluding tests and basic

training must be completedbefore this time. These and otherfactors make it necessary for meto enroll a semester early. Theassistance and subsidies theprogram supplies in my field ofstudy make it an otfer r'couldn'trefuse. It was¡ft a snap decision;I weighed it vêry carefully beforemaking it final.s ee page !
