Blocked drivewoysplogue tCC vicinity

S_earching for a place to park,perhaps you have had to use adriveway in which to turnaround. Doing so, did the streetseem narrow and the drivewavbarely adequate for a turnabout? .

If it did, you have had a tasteof what the residents of the FCCvicinity go through each day.

"It's a lack of courtesy andcommon sense. When peoplepark so close, it's hard for us wholive here to get in and out of ourdriveways," said Phyllis Gar-rard, a student and nearbyresident.

Apparently, students aie nottaking the time to park correctly,Too many cars are being put intoo little space. "One day therewere three VW's in the spacebetween my house and the next,"said Mrs. Garrard.

Then again, sometimes one carwill take up two places byparking in the middle. Thisirritates students who could haveparked there, and residents whomust maneuver around the smallcars that do.

The curbs do not have redmarkings, so people instinctivelypull up to the edge of the curb.However, when they do theresidents feel that they aren'tbeing t-aken into consideration.How will they maneuver thei¡cars into their driveways at a g0

Should these monies besubstantially reduced, the dis-trict would have difficulty inmeeting its financial obligations,since instructors and otheremployees are under writtencontract.

"If our average daily attend-ance money coming from thestate was reduced drastically,the money for employee salarieswould have to come fromsomewhere else," reportedLasher.

To-ugher ottendonce policytqkes qffect this semester

A new attendanee policyadopted for this semester statesthat students may be droppedwhen in excess of two weeks ofof absences. The new policy wasadopted by district trustees inNovember.

"If a student misses a numberof class sessions, he or she shouldbe dropped out of the class," saidI. Ward Lasher, dean ofadmissions and records. 'Ab-sences in excess of two weeks ofclass meetings jeopardize thestudent's satisfactory progress."

The policy states that eachinstructor should notify thestudent in the beginning ôf thesemester, if the instructor'sattendancerequirementsthan the abostudent isproperly drop a class. However,if a student has been dropped,one should check with his of herinstructor for further informa-tion.

Each instructor is required totake roll and record theattendance for each class period.Ifa student does not attend classon the first day of instruction,the instructor has the right todrop that student, as others maybe waiting to get. into that class.

"Attendance is a vital part ofthe student's satisfactory work,as well as participation in class,"

added Lasher. "ff we didn't havean attendance policy, somestudents may go once every 10days and might get by with it."

Lasher also said, "Severalquestions were being asked bythe faeulty as to guidelines ofhow many times c¿n a studentmiss a class before one should bedropped. therefore, some facultymembers felt there should be adefinite policy esùablished by thedistrict."

Chancellor Charles Chapmanand Presidents Clyde McCully,FCC, and Clifford Boyer,Reedley College, appointed acommittee to recommend anattendance policy to the SCCCDBoard of Trustees for adoption.

The attendance policy commit-tee included, at FCC: ArthurEllish, dean of instruction; StanHayward, veterans officer;Lasher; Doug Peterson, dean ofmen. Reedley College: VinceAlfaro, dean of instruction;Margie Farmer, veterans officer,and John Hyatt, dean of men.

Faculty and student reactionto the policy is mixed.

Americon Block women reflect on 200 yeorseontributions of the blackrvoman.

For the past 200 years theblack woman has been one of hemost creative, resourceful andenduring forces in America. Thetradition she has estaþlished isone of responding to adversityand need in ways that enabledher to master many tasks, allwith equal ability.

The conditions of slaverywhich pressed the black womaninto servitude ironically mayhave laid the foundation for hertrue liberation long before there\rras a movement. Out of thenecessity of eircumstances,which forced her to work in thefields, to be a nursemaid, cook,seamstress and nurse, shebecame a versatile untiringlaborer.

Out of this tradition she forgedher own identity, set her ownpace, and established precedentsthat are now being followed bywomen all over the world. And astime has .passed she had madeher own limited opportunities invirtually every field-education,law, medicine, science, businessand finance, the arts, social work,politics, community organizationand communic¿tions.

status, many of the roles theyhad played in their native landsfell into disuse. As they tookcharge of their children in thefrequent absence of a husbandand father, they were forced todevelop their maximum humanpotential. Their strong maternalinstinct survived the painfulrepeated ripping of their sonsand daughters from their bosomsto be sold to another blaveholder.Sojourner Truth gave eloquentvoice to their anguish: "I haveborne 13 children and seen mostof 'em sold into slavery and whenI cried out with my mother'sgrief, none but Jesus helped me."For some. the threat of forcedseparation from their children

drove them to infanticide.One famous blaek woman

during the period of slavery wasHarriet Tubman. Said to havebeen born into slavery inDorchester County, Maryland;around 1820, she was one ofthe most militant leadersregarded by historians as the"Moses" of her people because ofher great work in leading slavesfrom the South to freedom in theNorth by way of the Under-ground Railroad.

During this period of Ameri-cañ history, Phyllis Wheatley,the poet, was the only blackwoman to gain internationaldistinction as a writer. Thesystem of slavery was so severe

that any cieative talents thesewomen possessed were sub-merged.

During Reconstruction,'blackwomen's efforts were devoted tothe education of black youth.Equipped with no buildings orbooks, but aided by such groupsas the Freedmen's Bureau (whichconstructed buildings) and theAmerican Missionary Associa-tion, these women, many ofwhom had only slightly moreeducation than their students,vigorously undertook this press-ing task. Some built their schoolswithout the aid of philanthropicor government contribution.Eventually these schools dotted

however.The SCCCP began operation in

1971 as a police seience class andcampus patrol with KennethShrum as "chief'and head of theprogram.

As the FCC enrollment grew,so did campus crimes, and theproþam was expanded into thesecurity patrol we have today.

Severaì full time officers werehired and the program wasrecognized by the Police OfficerStandard of Training, POST.

The cadet program was set upmainly for financial reasons, butproved beneficial to the studentsas well. It is cheaper for theschool to use cadets rather than,full time officers. At the sametime cadets get a chance at somepractical application of theirmajor. Interestingly, there aremore women involved in theprogram than men.

The FCC department consistsof Chief Kenñeth Shrum andofficers Charles Anderson, MarkBrown and Ronald lVatson.There are eight security patrolofficers and 16 cadets.

The officers wear blazersinstead of uniforms on campus toplay down the "cop" image.Security patrol officers arealways in uniform and theirtickets-are municipal citations.

The cadets, security patroltrainees, are unarmed and incharge of traffic patrol, acci-

dents, crowd patrol and stakeouts. the cadets receice threeunits and hourly pay for somesecurity patrol.

On our campus we've hadpractically every common crime,with the exception of murder,committed. So it is imperativethat the cadets be well trained,said Shrum.

All cadets begin in the office.Not until they master thatprocedure are they allowed to goout in the lield. When someeadets find that they just don'tjump into a patrol car the firstday, they become disillusioned.The ones who come in thinkingit's going to be like a T.V. showusually drop when they discoverthey must be secretariesfi¡st.

Crime is predictable, saidShrum, and it invariably rises atthe start of each semesüer, when"we get a fresh batch of thieves."

Chief Shrum said there are no"citation quotas" to be filled byhis officers. Patrolmen have onlvto account for their time in thei¡.log books.

In the midst of the interviewthe indispensible citizen's bandradio sounds off to notify Shrumof a possible auto theft. Shrumhurried out the office with thisreporter not far behind.

rDetoxt progrcms offeredfor problem drinkers

By Bill Roes

The place seems almost lost ifyou are rushing downtown onFulton, but the modest, beigebrick building known as theAvanti Center plays an impor-tant part in the treatment ofalcoholism.

Student Robert Flood, acounselor in the center, describesthe discovery and treatment ofalcoholism.

At first reluctant to speakabout the center, at 55 N. Fulton,Flood agreed in order topublicize the facilities for citycollege students. "All I want is toplay for the center,"

Approximately 1,200 studentson-campus have a drinkingproblem, he explained. About 10per cent of our society suffersfrom problems with alcohol.

Flood, who is working towarda degree in sociology, said thefour causes of aìcoholism a¡epsychologicaì, physiological, so-ciological and alcohol itself. Floodis currently in the workexperience program, whichallows him to work and receivecollege units at the same time.

A major symptom of alcohol-ism, continued Flood, is deniaì toyourself. Usually everyone elseknows you have a drinkingproblem before you do.

Other symptoms of alcoholismare problems with your family,the law, drunk driving ordrinking while driving, loweringgrade levels, a loss or lack ofinitiative, and even wanting abeer instead of going to class.

A misleading view of alcohol-ism held by society, Floodexplained, is that alcohol is a"non-drug." Alcohol is a drug; iteven has a higher addiction levelthan heroìn.

How do you know if you are analcoholic? Ask yourself the

question, "Do you consideryourself an alcoholic? Floodexplained, "Who wants to admitthat a drug or what societyconsiders a non-drug has takenover their life?"

People think they would haveto eliminate parties, social' gatherings and so on from theirlives if they are an alcoholic, butthis is not so, "You must learn tolive with alcohol in order to livewithout."

Flood emphasized the fact thatalcohol addiction is slow. Withheroin, a person can feel thephysical addietion taking placeand can think about the-fact ofaddiction and act quickly. But adrinker usually cän't ieel theaddiction taking place.

A young man eonsidered to bea heavy drinker, that is, drinkingto inebriation twice a week,might not become addicted for aslong as 17 months, he explained.It is easier for an older man orwoman to become addieted toalcohol as their metabolismchanges with age.

Addiction to alcohol is harderto break than heroin. Floodexplains that even though thedrinker doesn't touch a drink foryears, the body acts as if he has.A person can pick up a drink fiveyears after he stopped drinkingand be right back where hestarted from.

The Avanti Center aimstoward help. It is an alcoholservice provided by CommunityHospital contracted throughFresno County.

Opened Monday throughFriday from 8 to 5, the centeroffers detoxification. or "Detox"programs, group or individualcounseling and even livingaccommodations when neces-

sary. they also refer-clients toother programs in the countyarea.

.Costs for the program varywith income and- neãd of tääclient. Flood emphasized the rulethat all elients will remainanonymor\q. AII over 18 years ofage, aqd those under 18 years ofage with parental consent areaccepted for therapy. Cost neveris a problem for the client.

When a client first arrives.they visit Flood's office, which isassessment and referral. Herethey are evaluated as to theirneeds. If they need detoxifica-tion, they decide if it should be amedical detox or social model.The medical requires a referralto a community hospital, usuallyVA, and social model detox canbe handled by the center.

"Everything is on an individualbasis," Flood said. Some clientsare referred by probationbecause of two or more drivingwhile under the inlluence ofalcohol sentences. In theseinstances, an evaluation andpossible plan for treatment mustbe prepared by the center. Theprobation officers must, thenwork with the plan.

There are 10 counselorsavailable to clients, plus other

Shying away from the camera,Flood agreed to pose for thosewho may have a problem withalcohol. He says it's easier for aperson to come to the centerknowing a little of what to expectwhen they get there.

He hopes to reach studentswho "don't know where to go, orare afraid."

Construction workers like ir oround hereBy Steve Paliughiand Greg Richaid

"Pretty good scenery aroundFCC, what with spring coming onand all, heh, heh," eackled theweary carpenter.

The majority of FCC studentslook at the construction workersaround campus, failing to realizethat these men are observingstudents and forming opinionsfrom what they see.

Inside the chain link fence sitsBob Rendone, carpenter, munch-ing a sandwich and smoking astogie. "I like the atmospherehere at FCC. You know, when Iworked at high schools the kidswould throw things at you andshout obscenities, but not here.Perhaps it is because of the ägedifference."

Rendone, 30, a night student atFCC, feels that colJege benefitseveryone. "A person should getas much of an education aspossible." Rendone is takingindustrial mathematics andcarpentry to aid him in his trade.In order to fit his schedule hemust take night classes.

"Kids have changed since Iwent to school, they're moreopen," stated Rendone, "butmaybe that's good." Rendonefeels that the most radicalchange in students has been intheir dress. "lVhen I went toschocJ, kids dressed up morethan r,hey do now."

In contr¿st to Rendone'syouthful opinion, Frank Garrí-son, who's been i¡ the buei¡ess

for 21 years, had somethingdifferent to say.

"The biggest change in kidstoday is the way they dress.However, during the past 1%years there has been a reverse.At FSU you used to see moreIong hair and bare feelthan youdo now," said Garrison.

Hqll leqds th¡nclodsto win over PqcificSparked by the strong triple

performance of weightman SteveHall, the Ram track teamdefeated neighboring PacificCollege 95-67, last Saturday atMclane Stadium.

The meet, originally scheduledfor Ratcliffe Stadium, wasdetoured when meet officialsdiscovered that two hoses hadbeen left on overnight. As aresult: Lake Ratcliffe.

However, changing sites toMclane didn't seem to botherHall or the Rams.

Hall won the discus (163-8) andhammer (134) events withlifetime bests. He finished secondin the shot put with a heave of48-2.

Hall's day at the track earnedhim Ram-of-the-Week honorsfrom coach Bob Fries.

FCC swept three events: shotput, high jump and 120 yd. HH.The Rams placed two in the topthree in six other events todominate the Vikings.

In the sprints, flashy RonMalone captured two fi¡sts in the100 (10.0) and the 220 (22.1).James Jackson completed thesweep with a time of 50.4 in the440.

The Rams dashed to a victoryin the one-mile relay (4x110).Fresno timed a 3:28 behind thelegs of Bob Brenner (51.6), GilJenkins (52.9), Joe Garcia (50.4)and Jackson (53.0).

Vic White streaked to a 15.5time in the 120 yd. highs. RichVerdugo finished two-tenths of asecond back at 15.7. Verdugo

came back to win the 330 IH'at41-flat.

"We have pretty goodsprinters, but we need a litùlemore depth," commented Fries.Fries added that (Ron) Malonewas doing okay in his specialties.

Pole vaulter Stan Reyescontinued vaulting above thel5-foot plateau. On this occasion,Reyes hit l5 even.

FCC controlled the high jumppit with the leaps of Ron Horn(6-6), Jenkins (6-4) and JimCurtis (6-0).

Little Tony Williams put theshot 52-5 for another Ram first.

Javelin thrower Matt Hartwigtossed the silver spear 172-9 forfirst place. Sam Richardsonfinished third with a 167-8.Hartwig has a personal best of182-0, Richardson 174-0.

The Rams will travel toModesto this Saturday for theValley Conference Relays. "Thismeet should give us an idea ofwho's gonna be tough in league.We suspect Ame¡ican River.They have great distancerunners and weightmen. Theyjust have a good overall team,"assessed Fries.

The Rams are starting to showsigns of getting together andperforming as a team, accordingto Fries.

One unfortunate note: long-distance ace Alfred Lara quit theteam, which will place a heavyburden on Ray Rubio andBaldemar Bettancourt. But Friessays, "I'm sure they can fill thegap."

One ofthe leading educators ofthis period was Fannie JacksonCoppin, who was born a slave in1837. Upon graduating fromOberlin College in 1865, shespent over 40 years as aneducator at the Institute forColored Youth in Philadelphia.Through the years, she gained areputation as one of the earlyinnovato¡s in teacher training.She also established a school fõrindustrial arts lons beforeindustrial education wai popular.

During Reconstruction, blackwomen were also involved in thefight for women's suffrage.Francis E. lV. Harper, the firstblack woman to pubiish a novel inthe United States in 1892, was a

of her era was Mary McleodBethune, whose life represents a

bridge between the traditionalpast and the future. Born of slaveparents in Maysville, S.C., shelater moved to Florida where in1904 she founded a school withfive students and $1.50. Todavthe school is Bethune-CookmaiCollege, a four-year institution.She founded and presided overthe National Council of Negro\üomen, one of the leading blackwomen's organizations today. Afrequent visitor to the \{hiteHouse; she was also an adviser toPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It was in 1955 that a blackwoman named Rosa Parks putforth the resistance whichtouched off the civil right,sprotest movement. Mrs. Parks, aseamstress in Montgomery, Ala,,refused to surrender her seat on

desegregating Montgomery'spublic transportation. Ironically,it was this spontaneous act ofresistance by a modest black'woman which provided theopportunity for the late Dr.Martin Luther Ki4g, Jr. to

emerge as an internationalleader of nonviolent passiveresistance. In paying homage toRosa Pa¡ks' courage, Dr. Kingonce called her "the great fusethat led to the modðrn stridetoward freedom."

No one can dispute the factthat the black woman has left anindelible imprint on Americathrough her centuries ofarduousstruggle to achieve self-determination and equality freefrom racial, class and sexualexploitation.

Senator Ken Mitchell wasappointed to the office ofexecutive vice president Tues-day. Legislative Vice PresidentDave Schroeder made theappointment, standing in forPresident Richard Mata who wasattending a conference.

Mitchell, who succeeds DaveDavis, said he will continue towork on the projects he hasstarted as a senator and that hisinterests are "totally for thestudents."

Schroeder also announced theappointments of Commissioner ofPublicity Rick Yamamoto, Com-missioner of Student ServicesD¿vid Walls, Commissioner ofArts Ron Burgess, and Commis-sioner of Student ActivitiesLorraine Washam. Also, SenatorScott Berry'was appointed to theCurriculum Committee.

The Senate approved a motionproclaiming the week of May 2.tas Fresno City College Bicenten-nial lVeek.

Two representatives from theprivate citizens group, ThePeople's Advocate, asked theSenate to back an initiative theyare trying to qualify for theNovember ballot to controllegislative and judicial salaries.They wanted the Senate tocollect signatures, but the Senateas a body declined, observingthat ifany Senator wishes to helpon his own time, he may do so.

Senator Mike Kennedy moved"that all members of the StudentSenate be assessed half of anunexecused absence for beingfive minutes or more late for théregularly scheduled senatemeeting." After much debate,the motion failed.

By Rod Paut"Dog Day Afternoon" has been

nominated for six AcademvAwards. After hearing ùhis, myinitial reaction was surprise,followed by seizures andcon.vulsions, and ending withdeep misthe movtee. Thisgoing on-six Academy Awardnominations is pretty ridiculousfor such a bad film.

The story begins with Sonny(Al Pacino) and his two partners(one of them (Sal) playedPacino's brother Freido in thetwo Godfather lilms) entering abank with the plan to rob it. theypull out their guns and therobbery is on. One of Sonny'spartners gets cold feet and can'tgo on with the robbery, they lethim out the door. Now it is Sonnvand Sal left.

The robbery goes on; the twohoods are doing quite fine untilthey go for the money and find

that it had been picked up thatmorning. there is little left, butthey take it all. They are aboutready to make their escape whenthere is a phone call. It's forSonny. It is the police, they say,"Listen punk, what are youdoing? We got the placesurrounded by four millioncops-give up." (paraphrased byR.P. for publication).

Of course they don't give up,and this sets lhe stage for therest of the film. The rest of themovie goes like this: They aretrapped in a bank for a long time.Now you're probably wonderingwhether they will get away.IVell, with four million copssurrounding them, what do youthink?

From the first scenes, whichhas Elton John music (trite)baeking up colorful shots of theNew York slums, I knew thatthis film just may insult myintelligence. It was made purelyas a commercial venture with the

sole purpose of making money. Iam against films of this typebecause they take the art, out ofmotion pictures.

Yet among all this brain-insulting, money-taking commer-cialism Al Paeino comes thru totry to save this mess. Actually AlPacino isn't enough to save themovie, but he makes it a littlemore than tolerable. Actu¿llvwhat upsbts me is to see such äfine actor as Paeino take such apoor seript.

Pacino is aD excellentaetor-he has a certain e¿sual

steals the show.All in all I would have to say

that "Dog Day Afùernoon" stunk.It succeeded in insulting myintellect.

Petition to control leg soloriesIn 1974, State Treasurer Jess

Unruh stated that a privatecitizen "would require an annualincome of at least $150,000" inorder to be on an economic parwith a California state legislator.

Recently in Fresno, KarenMartignoni and Judy Lucasstarted a local chapter of thePeople's Advocate, after theyhad heard PA President PaulGann on a Los Angeles radio talkshow. After asking for material,Martignoni and Lucas esta-blished the Fresno chapter, andare currently looking forvolunteers to help put aninitiative on the June ballot.

The initiative? To make all payraises for legislators subject toapproval by the voters ofCalifornia. This effort resultedfrom a survey released inDecember which showed that

California legislators are thehighest paid in the UnitedStates. But the survey failed toinclude some of the fringebenefits received by thelegislators, such as state cars,gasoline and telephone creditcards, and paid staff.

In an interview with theFresno Guide, Martignoni saidtheir signature drive is goingwell, with over 3fi),000 signa-tures collected in the state, butshe added that 5ü),000 signa-tures are needed by March 25 forthe initiative to be put on theballot.

Fresno City College studentsseem to be eomprising the majorportion of the P.t's volunteerforce.

Basically, the People's Advo-cate is interested in halting

recent actions in California inwhich elected officials raise theirown salaries while in office. Bydoing so, states PA, an offieialhas violated the trust of thepeople,through "greed, immoral-ity, a lack of integrity, and a lustfor power..." and thus needs tobe dealt with.

According to PA philosophy,they will not, reject any personinterested in joining, exeept"only the extremist who woulddestroy our form of government,whether he be from the far rightor the far left."

Martignoni and Lucas are.looking for volunteers to helpcirculate the petitions for placingthe initiative on the ballot. If youwould like to help or would likemore information on the People'sAdvocate, call Judy Lucas orKaren Martignoni at 2ffi-5362.Editor

REFLECTIONS

We see outselves in life's mirrorBy Roger Z¡mor¡

It is the sum total of our outerand inner selves that make upour real reflectlons in life'smi¡ror--¡nere visual reflections-which ean be sensed as well assee¡ for adjustments.

Now, if this were only a matterof observing our real selves aswe h¿ve cre¡ted them, it wouldbe merely ¿n intprest¡ng aod

revealing phenomenon, howeverfortunate.

It is the creator of ourdestinies! lVe not only becomethe sum tot¿l of everything wehave thoughL experienced anddone in our past, but 'ií sobeeoming, our natures determineour responses to events whichconsistute our lives.

It sinply is ¿ ehain of e¡uses

and results. lVhat we think, feeland do, causes us to be what weare. And, naturally, what we are,causes the circumstances andevents of our lives.

Don't be so. dumb as to foolyourself that your life is ahappeuing of fate. It , wascaused-principally by you--andit is a minor whÍch accuratelyreflects what you now a¡o. '
