'Romeo' opening n¡ghtplonned by drqmqti sts

By Bill RoseThey're all a bit relaxed now,

with most of the costumes andsets completed. Now mosttheatre students can just sit backand await the grand opening ofFCC's big budgeted Shakespear-ean classic. "Romeo and Juliet."

And grand it should be, withprinted invitations to suchbig-name valley and statecelebrities as George N.Zenovich and B. F. Sisk. Astheatre teacher Charles Wrightjokingly put it, "I wish we couldget searchlights out front for theopening."

The play, which opens April 2,has Albert Ruiz and Elissa

.' Kowolik in the leads of Romeoand Juliet. Reserved tickets forthe play go on sale March 22 inthe threatre box office, $1.50general admission, 75 cents tonon-ASB students, and free toASB card holders.

At this time there is a relaxedlull among theatre craft andtheatre lab students as mostheavy work on the sets, which

started three weeks after thesemester began, only requires afew splashes of paint and a dab ofartistic talent. Even thecostumes, this year veryelaborate and time-consuming inthe making, now require only afew last stitches and tucks hereand there before they grace thenew theatre stage.

A lot of credit can go to thehard-working theatre lab andcraft class, taught by Wright andDonald Gunn.

Debbi Parnell, who wants tomajor in housing and interiordesign, has put in about six hoursa week for her tweunit class.Working with a partnerdiligently painting bricks on amedieval archway, she is lookingforward to working on the lights

which go up next week. "ft has acomputer lighting board, I'd lovetÒ learn how to work it. Only afew here can."

The sets were designed byFrancis Sullivan, who hasworked previously at FSU. Thiswas his first time working forCity College, and everyone's frrsttime working in the newfacilities. He describes the newtheatre as "one of the best in thestate."

Instruetor Charles Quinndesigned all the costumes, madethe patterns and helped studentswith the sewing and fittings.Quinn described the making of acostume as different from whatthe average seamstress does. He

College evqluqtes selfon sex discri minotion

Have you ever been discrimi-nated against at Fresno CityCollege because of your sex? Ifso, the college wants to knowabout it.

FCC is presently undergoing afederally-mandated self-evalua-tion of its educational programsand employment practices todetermine whether discrimina-tion based on sex exists iú itspractices relating to recruitmentand admissions of students,student access to courseofferings, athletics, financial aid,counseling services, job place-ment and employment.

According to Dean of StudentPersonnel Merle Martin, thecollege is required by federal lawunder Title IX of the EducationAmendments o11972 to completea se!â-evaluation this spring and,if circcrimination is uncovered,eliminate it. ^itle IX prohibitssex' discriminauion in fbderally-assisted education programs.Effected by the law are most

elementary and secondaryschools and colleges throughoutthe United Süates.

"What we want is responsefrom the students and collegestaff giving specific informationas to cases in which they feelthey were discriminated against

-. because of sex," Martin stated.Sfudents may submit their

written statements to theAssociated Student Body officein the Student Center, Martin'soffice in A-118, or to thefollowing instructors and admin-istràtors: Martin Brown, A-2008;Richard Cleland, A-146; LarryKavanaugh, A-105; Ken Doseand Jane Shriner, Gymnasium,and Mary Alice Easton, A-122.

Title IX specifically states,"No person in the United Statesshall, on the basis of sex, beexcluded from participation in,be denied the benefits of, or besubjected to discriminationunder any education prggram oractivity receivin! federal lìnan-

cial assistance."The law affects FCC in the

following areas:Recruitment: Comparable ef-

forst must be made to recruitmembers of each sex.

Admiesio¡e: The college isprohibited from using sex-biasedtests or admission criteria,setting quotas on the number ofmen or women admitted,discriminating against applicantson the basis of marital orparental status or pregr¡ancy, orsetting different ent¡ance stand-ards for one sex or the other.

Couree &ccest: All classesmust be open to both sexes. Thecollege may not preventmembers of one sex fromentering a class or programbecause employment resultingfrom stqdy in that class orprogram is lraditionally availablê'only to members bf the oppositesex.'Likewise, no cl¿ss may be

With over 15 students puttingin over a hundred hours, nearþall is completed. Debbi Pinedo, astudent assistai¡t who is also aservant in the play, says thereason over 39 costumes havebeen completed is because "wereally pushed it! This semesterwe're ahead three weeks."

Quinn said the shirts weremade last semester. Petticoatswere done for another show lastyear and are being re-used, alongwith drapery fabrics which arejust repinned or rearranged eachyear.

"The biggest single expensethis year," said Quinn, "were thetights. They were a special orderfrom New York costing $14apiece." Some 21 pairs wereordered.

Being the grand opening, alittle more money than is usuaþgiven was felt appropriate to

make this opening a "special,one-shot premier," explainedWright.

The student body contributed$1,800, which is the usual amountfor the threatre department,according to Wright. About$1,500 more was contributed bythe district office, communityservices, the instructional bud-get and other non-ASB sou¡pes.

lVith the $1,800 appropriatedby the ASB, the threatredepartment must put on onemajor production, plus reader'stheatre and student-directedproductions.

The extra money was put intoareas of greatest need, amongthem were costumes, whichWright said cost about $1,250.Money also went into publicity,which included printed invita-tions to state big cheeses.

Boqrd encourqges employee'no representotion' choice

the district board of trusteesrecently made decisions relatingto elections for exclusivebargaining representatives ofemployees and designation ofmanagement and confidentialpositions within the district.

California's new cóllectivebargaining bill, known as theRodda Act, provides for a systemof collective bargaining for bothcertificated and classified em-ployees of California's 1,100public elementary, secondaryand community college districts.

The purpose of the new law;signed by Gov. E. G. Brown lastyear,. is to promote improvementof personnel managemént andemployer-employee relations byproviding a uniform basis forrecognizing the right of publicschool employees to joinorganizations of their owl ehoiceand for those organizations tobargain for employee benefifs.

The law is to be administeredby the three-member Education-al Employment Relations Board(EERB), recently appointed byGov. Brown.

One of the first steps in thebargaining process will be foremployees - both certificatedand classified - to decide whichemployee organizations willserve as their exclusive bargain-ing representatives. the lawstates that the employees mustdecide on one representative foreach bargaining unit, i.e. faculty,classified, and, in some eases,smaller groqpings of thosegroups.

The board decided that if anyemployee group petitions thedistrict to be recognized as theexclusive bargaining representa-

tive for an employee unit, theboard will seek an electionconducted by the EERB todetermine which organizationthe employees wish to haverepreçent them or if theemployees would prefer norepresentation:

The trustees approved a newpolicy that would require, in thecase where employees voted forno representation, for thedistrict administration to meetwith the employees and developmutually-acceptable proceduresfor negotiations. In a statement,to employees, Dr. EdwardMosley, president of the board;asked that consideration begiven to a "no representationf'vote by district employees.

"\[henever such elections areheld, this boaid of trusteêssuggests that emplolees giveeonsideration to their right torejeet any organization as qnexclusive representative," hestated.

The board also acted on thequestion of whicþ distriqtemployees shall:be designated asmanagement and eonfidential forthe sake of collective bargaining.Management and confidentialemployees are not eovered bythe Rodda Act and thus cannotbe repreSented by an employeeorganization in the negotiratingprocess.

the board defined manage-ment employees as thoseresponsible for the formulationand discharge of district policy.Those named as managementemployees include the chan-cellor, two vice chancellors, thepresidents ofFresno City Collegeand Reedley College, all deans,

associate deans and programcoordinators, as well as mostprogram directors and many leadclassified positions.

Confidential employees weredefined as those whose jobsrequire them to have access tomaterials relating to thedistrict's negotiatin g process.These include secrétaries tocerüain administrators and thepublic information officers at thetwo schools.

Lany Kavanaugh, president ofthe FCC Faculty Senate, askedthe board to delay acting on thedesignation of managementpositions until study could bemade of the r¿mifications for thepersons so designated.

The board, however, indicatedthat a decision had to be madeand voted unanimous approval.

In other action, the board:Received a salary proposal for

1976-77 from. the district chapterof the California School Emfloy-ees Association on behalf of theclassified staff. The proposalrqquests a salary .increase of,8percent, an inerease in thelongevity inereases from 2rl¿ to 5percenù, medical and dentalcoverage for retirees with aminimum of tr5 years service, payincreases for education credit,and other items.

Approved the employment ofsevên new instructors at FCCand two at Reedley toaccommodate increased enroll-ment. The district administrationindicated.¡lso it probably will askthe board for an additional sevenFCC positions and two Reedleypositions later this spring, whenmore information is available ondistrict income for next year.

The fourth grade class of Sun Empire Elementary Schoolgraduated with green thumbs last Thursday.

The class was visited by lab assistants of Ronald Depry'shorticulture classes, to instruct the children in gardening and plãntcare.

Donna Sailors helps a student transplant a seedling.

Auto-body instructor to ret¡re in luneHis first automotive body-fen-

der jobyard whe satout fenders.

The yea^r was 1936. Fortyyears li¡ter, after 16 years 8s a"body-fender man" and 24 yearsas a te¿cher, Carl Rustigian, an

ühe vicinity of Fresno CountY þthe ¿utomotive or a relatedfield," Rustigian says with Pride."lhey're ,shop workes, shoPowne¡!¡, welders, and even .a¡¡toinsr¡rauce clains adjusters."

RusticisD has lived in Fresnofor 68

-of his 60 Yea.rs. He

and c¿binet work, in 19Í14. On thejob, he Jound the 2$cents anhour he was making was not tohis liking. "It seemed like I wascoins to make 2&cents'an-hourloreùer and I couldn't t¿ke that.So I had to learn another trade

right away and learningfender-body work seemed thebest opportgnity."

Not only was the pay better -after six months he was earning$1 an hour - but he enjoyedworking on automobiles.

In 1952 the opportunity arosefor Rustigian to leave the "doingt'side of the trade ¿nd move intotcaehing. "I wanted to teachbèc¿use the knowledge I hadobtained all those years Ithought should be ¿assed on tothose coming into the trade,"Rustigian says.

"For many years it was verydifücult for a young apprentice tolearn the business. Journeymenoften guarded their skills andshop owners didn't always havethe time or equipment to train aman themselves."

Industrial edueation at FCC,Rustigian says, has grown andimproved as it has generallythroughorrt California. "Everyyear it ge.ts better. The demandfor skilled and competent labor isvery high."

When he began teaching for

City College in 1952, his shop waslocated at Edison High School.Nine years later FCC completedits vocational and industrialtraining complex and Rustigianmoved on campus.

At FCC, he became active inseveral student and facultyactivities, including serving as amember of the faculty senate,sponsor of the AssociatedStudents Men's Club, presidentof the faculty association, and amoving force behind the creationof the Ramburger Round-Up, anannual piènic for faculty, staffand students.

Rustigian, a membe¡ of theCalifornia fndustrial Educ¿tionAssociation, was president of theFresno Industrial EducationAssociation in 1964. Along withteaching, he also contributed tothe auto body-fender tradest¿tewide by writing the textand test books for the State ofCalifornia apprentice program.

He and his wife, Graee, plan tocontinue living in Fresno whiletaking advantage of travelopportunities.

Anolher mqle bosfÍon fqlls--coeds infiltrole weighf room

The weightlifting room atFresno City College, untilrecently an all-male domain, hasbeen infiltrated this spring bymembers of the "weaker" sex.

the college now offers abeginning weightlifting classaimed at increasing the physicalstrength of its female students-an area that has been termed'"one of the greatest untappedresources women have."

"In the past, women andweightlifting have been as farapart as night and day,"instructor Fred Bartels com-mented. "But I've been pleasedand somewhat surprised by theway students have responded toti. We have at least 25 women inõlass every session and most areworking very hard to get intoshape."

The class meets two morningseach week, and Bartels hasdesigned the course so thatevery major muscle in the bodyis exercised.

Each session, after preliminary warmups (situps, jumping-jacks, etc.) the women move tothe weightlifting machines andbarbells, rotating every 30seconds to one of 17 differentstations.

"He (Bartels) works us reallyhard," commented 19-year-oldSusan Lanse. "We get hot andsweaty and all, but most of usreally like the class and enjoy

getting into shape.Bartels is quick to point out to

his students that, unlike a man's,a woman's muscles will notincrease in size in a weightliftingprogram, probably due tohormonal differences.

"There was this unfoundedfear that I think some of the girlshad, but there's just no way thatweightlifting will make theirmuscles bigger," he remarked."It will just make themstronger."

Recent studies done in theU.S. have shown there is little, ifany, difference in the physicalabilities of boys and girls prior toages 10 to 13.

According to an article in theSeptember issue of McOall's

.magazine, "After puberty, malestrength continues to increase,while that of girls tends to peakat about age 15. Then girls begina lifelong decline.

"...teenage girls seldom usethe muscles of their arms andshoulders; their activities be-come almost sedentary."

The McCall's story went on tocall weightlifting "the fastest andmost efficient way to increasestrength."

Bartels noted that the buildingof strength can also have aliberating effect on women,freeing them to do everydaytasks that might normally call fora man's strength, such as

ordinary lifting.Lanse commented that some of

her male f¡iends can't under-stand why in the world a womanwould want to lift weights.

"Some guys I know think I'mdumb or something," sheremarked. "But it's not like Iwant to be Miss Muscles or thewomen's weightlifting championof the world. I'm in the class inorder to build my strength and toget into better shape."

Toni Scott, whose enthusiasmfor the class is almost infectious,told of one incident involving afriend of hers who is also takingthe course.

lcpe lob helps studentsleorn foreign lcnguages

By pushing buttons, flippingswitches and playing tapes, theforeign language instructors atFCC teach students the finerpoints of Spanish, French,German, and other languages,

"No doubt," said instructorWilliam Reynolds, "the labora-tory has been an excellentteaching tool because with it youcan concentrate on the oralaspect of a ìanguage."

A teacher can help anindividual student's pronuncia-tion without disturbing otherstudents. With a tape of a certain

language on the console,students, sitting in carrels,follow sentences in their bookswhile listening to them onheadsets.

As the students repeat thepronunciation, an instructor, bypushing some buttons, can listento any student's words andcorrect him if necessary, withoutdisturbing any other students.

Cassette players built into thetables record both the student'sresponse and the taped lesson.The student can take the

cassette out of class to listen tohis and the tape's pronunciation.

Reynolds said the laboratorYmakes it more of a one-on-onesituation, that in a class it isharder to distinguish who isusing the language better andwho is not.

"By finals time you can tellwho is using the laboratory andwho is not."

Reynolds said the laboratory isopen for general use Thursdaysand Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3p.m.

The best FCC could do wasthird in five other events.

The thinclads traveled toModesto without seven membersbecause of either injuries,ineligibility, illness or work.

Fresno has lost Alfred Lara,and now Tony Williams, RonHorn, and possibly Steve Hall.

lVilliams, a 52-5 shot putter,has been declared scholasticallyineligible for not carrying enoughunits. Williams transferred fromReedley with 11 units and a nightclass at FSU. Evidently, he wasruled out because he did notattend full time at oneinstitution.

Horn fell below the l2-unitrequirement - scratch one 6-8high jumper.

Weightman Hall injured hisknee last Wednesday in whatDose termed a freak accident.

Hall is impatiently awaiting hisX-ray results taken last Friday.If it is a strain, he could seeaction in two weeks. But, if it is atear in the ligaments or tendons,hall will have suigery and willhave to watch from the stands.

Larry Johnson, a 22-11 longjumper, is still waiting to becomeeligible after making up anincomplete.

Coaches from time immemorialhave been telling thei¡ athletesto hang in there when things getrough or discouraging. SteveMurray did just that, leading theRams to an 8-2 victory over COSin the Valley Conference openerat John Euless Park.

The sophomore righthanderwent the distance Saturday,striking out nine and workinghimself out of trouble in the earlyinnings.

COS scored a run in the firstinning off a base hit and got anunearned run in the third' takinga24lead. Murray had the basesloaded once but worked his wayout of it through cluteh pitching¿nd Ram defensive play.

As the game went on Murrayseemed to get stronger. "Munaywas under the gun a number oftimes against COS and pitchedwell to give up only two runs,"commented Ram coach LenBourdet.

The Rams, led by freshmanoutfielder Rollo Adams, üook theoffensive in the third inning.Adams slugged a bases-loadeddouble and came home on a wildpitch. A run was also scored on asacrifice by Franny Oneto.

With a 6-2 lead, Murray struckout the side in the fourth inning.In the fifth, Adams singled inOneto to make it 7-2. Onetoscored again in the seventh off asacrifice by lim Martin to make

iL 8-2.Murray had relatively little

trouble after the seventh inningand finished with his first win ofthe year. His record now standsat l-2.

"We're playing much better,although we still have a lot ofimprovements to make," saidBourdet. The Rams are ?-5.1 forthe season and share first placewith three other teams. "Don'tcount COS out of it. . .they're agood ball club."

The Rams are after their thirdconsecutive Valley Conférencetitle. Murray is after anotherstrong season after finishing ll-0last year. Both are starting tojell.

Eddie Adams, FCC's basket-ball marvel, was unanimouslyvoted Valley Conference Playerof the Year by the league'scoaches at the state JCtournament last week.

Adams, who led the Rams totheir best record in 12 seasons,averaged nearly 28 points and l0rebounds a game in VC play.

He was atop the VC statisticalchart in five categories: FG'smade, 172; FG's attempted, N4;FG percentage, 58.5; total points,389, and point average.

GUEST OPINION

Politics is on evil gomePolitics as far as I can tell is a

game that has certain criteria,the said criteria to be laid downby those who choose to callthemselves "politicians." Politicsis a inean and evil stab-the-other-guy game in whieh anything andeverything goes. It appears thatpoliticians get away withanything that the public does notcatch.

Many people fail to open theireyes to see what is reallyhappening, but I wish not to talkabout the people that do not careabout a form of check andbalance on their government. Iwish to concern myself with thebig con game that seems to be aneveryday part of a politician'sroutine.

It seems most evident thatyour everyday politician isalways willing to come aroundand shake your hand when heneeds something of you,however, when he gets whateverhe wanted from you (e.g., he getselected) he seems to disappear ina spontaneous fashion, not toreappear until leap year orre-election time.

Politicians seem to be funnycreatures in many ways. Theyclaim to represent the "popu-lace," and preach equal represen-tation for all. I often wonderwhat it would be like if ourpoliticians did represent the will

of the people. Another goodideology that politicians claim tobelieve is that democraeyautomaticaìly makes them "allwise and knowing," just becausethey were elected by the people.Could it be that politicians fail toremember that they. wereelected by the people, for thepeople, and of the people?

The discontent towards poli-ticians stems not from \ilater-gate, but from a long list ofcontinuous "quackery," Don'tdespair, those of you who believethat politicians are righteous andGod-fearing men who go tochurch every week, Anyone cango to church, but how you liveyour life away from the churchwill prove your worth andcredibility. I realize that there isprobably on an average one in l0politicians who are totallycommitted and are sinceretowards the cause of the people.And I could be way off, th-e oàdscould be worse.

It is truly an absurdity towatch a politician in action. Manypoliticians, if you listen closely,are nothing more than goodsalesmen that could convince youthat you hate your mother. Whatthey say may be full of moreholes than Carter has pills. Iseriously advise some criticalthinking on your part, it couldvery well be that what is said,what is carried out. and what is

implied by the politician is twodifferent things.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmesonce said, "It is revolting to haveno better reason for a rule ol lawthan that it was so laid down inthe time of Henry IV. It is stillmore revolting if the grounsupon which it was laid down havevanished long since. And the rulesimple persists from blindimitation of the past."

I contend "It is revolting tohave no better reason to choose aman to represent you and I thanbecause he claims to representour views; he is a good publicspeaker; his cover is appealingand his record is clean (so far). Itis still more revolting if thegrounds upon which he (thepolitician) is elected is based onthe fact that he had the mostdollars to spend on campaigningand/or he comes from a longpolitically affiliated family suchas the Kennedys, the Rocke-fellers or maybe the Browns.And the helter-skelter randomlysorted through survivor is left toclaim the crown of the victor.

I think most politicians can betrusted about as far as thatparticular politician can bethrown through the air. Iseriously hope you give somecritical and logical thought thenext time you go into the votintgbooth.

dontt rneein much"I move we give Joe Blow an honorary life membership

card."Lately it seems that the Student Senate has been handing out

life membership ASB c¿rds left and right.IVhat is a life membership card? It's a permanent ASB c¿rd

given to a student for his,outstanding service to the college.How does one get one? The Student Senate decides whether aperson is worthy of one or not.

Unfortunately, the only people who receive them arestudents involved with the ASB government.

The important ones, like the executive officers, get or will getcards made out of metal. Others - senators who served a lotand people who contribute ùo the eollege in the eyes of thesenators - receive paper ones. Naturally, the metal ones aremore prestigious.

But the students who serve the school outside of the ASBgovernment get little or no recogrition for their efforts. Peoplelike Dick Thomas, who has done much for the handicappedthrough sports, and Marty Krikorian, who has been involved innumerous things on campus - including the Student Senate -have received nothing for ùheir involvement.

Theie are numerous others on campus worthy of recognition.If they looked around maybe the senators would realize thatservice to the school can come from organizations other thanstudent government.

Last week the Senate proposed to give a life card to an ASBsecretary who recently broke her arm. Two weeks before that aformer sen¿tor received one because another senator "pushed"for it.

But all this doesn't really matter. The way things are now, noone knows about life ASB cards exeept students in governmentbecause no one receives them except students in governuient.

If an honorary life membership card were given morecarefully, and if students other than þst those in ASBgovernment were considered, it would have more significance.

ASB life cards CONCERT R,EVIEW

QueenS refreshhg,exciting, possionate

By Rod Peul

At approximately 9 p.m. onWednesday night, March 10, theSanta Monica Civic Auditoriumwent dark. The hum of the crowdexploded into a mass .noisecombination of yells, whistles,and handclaps. The audience wasready.

From the stage a conductor'sbaton is heard tapping. A voiceannounces, "And now. ladies andgentlemen, Queen is proud topresent'A Night at the Opera'."Heard over the PA is the middlechorus section from "BohemianRhapsody," while occasionalsilhouettes of Freddie Mercuryare seen on stage. The chorusclimaxes, the qtage lights flash,and the music breaks from thisalmost silly vaudville melody intoa driving, passionate, tastefullyvicious rock.

lVhen a concert opens like this,one tends to wonder whether thegroup can sustain the audience'sintensity throughout the rest ofthe show. Queen not onlysustained the energy level of theaudience, but increased itsteadily as the show continued. Itis not often that I see an audienceas supportive and excited.

There are three aspects toQueen's suecess as a concertgroup: 1. vocals, 2, music, 3.stage presence. Three of the fourmembers sing, and often on thealbums the vocals are snythe-sized or over-dubbed. It isbecause of this complex produc-ing that I believed it would benearly impossible to reproducethis live.

As lead vocalist, Mercurymore than makes up for the lostvocals. He fills the auditoriumwith such power and passion inhis vocals that one does notreally notice the changes inarrangement. It is true the¡e arenot as many harmonies live as onalbum, but it doesn't reallymatter; they make up for it.

On the new LP "A Night at theOpera," the cut "The ProphetSont''hasa seríes of chants thatinvolve Mercr¡ry, Brian May, a¡dRoger laylor. In the live versionMereury handle.s_llre series alone

with an echoplex, and carries itoff quite well.' Aside from the albums, quite abit of harmonizing is done in theshow. Taylor, on drums,manages to back up Mercuryabout 20 peicent of the time; fora drummer this is impressive,especially since laylor is such awild drummer. These are vocalsthat totally mesmerized methroughout the concert.

Queen have the nieestsounding guitars I've ever heard.Brian May, who built his ownguitar, has installed everythingfrom a phase shifter to anechoplex in its body. May has notonly an exceptionally, specialguitar, but he has a style that isunique and polished.

During May's solo in "BrightonRock," the audience rilas morethan content; May had themdazed. May took center stage andcaptivated the audience. Hepresents a very entertainingsolo.

Backing May up is JohnDeacon on bass, Deacon is not ashowy bassist, but is an essenti¿l

part of the band. It is Deaconwho holds the group together.

On drums is Roger MeadowsTaylor. Taylor's style is veryversatile, ranging from viciousrock beats to a light jazz style.During most of the show Taylordisappears behind his set, whichconsists of about 14 pieces and agong-averydevoteddrummer.

The last aspect is the band'sstage nresence. Mercury, as themain I nl point, demands theaudienee's attention and holds it.His every move is controlled yetspontaneous. Taking dramaticposes, clinching his hand,pointing a stiff finger, andtwirling his bottomless mikestand, Mercury presents amemorable show.

Their music does not centeraround their show as mostsuccessful concert bands do;rather, their show highlights andgives the music a certain class.

Queen is refreshing, exciting,and big; and they're going to getbigger.
