There's a new sport at FCCand you don't necessarily have tobe an athlete to try it, you justhave to be lucky. the sport istrain jumping.

The other day I had to park inthe dirt lot loe¿ted across therailroad tracks, near the north-east corner of campus.

As I got out of mY car I couldhear ¿ tiain coming. I didn't let itbother me, it's no crime to standand wait for a train.

An Equal OPPortunitY EmPloYer- M/T

'No rth Avenue lrregulors' is hiloríous forethis article is for those of You

who are too biased to aPPreciatea sood movie if it kicked You inthã face. I'm talking about theone's who .say, "Oh God' notanother Disney flick," turn uPtheir noses and walk in the otherdirection, usually into w¿lls,down manholes, or smack out infront of a moving car. If Youwould lower your noses for a fewmoments so your cyes could seethe screen, yort mi¡iht notice thatWalt Disney's "North AvenueIrregulars" is a hilariously funnyfilm. I

The movie directed bY Bruce'Bilson and writen by Don Tait isbased on a book bY ReverentAlbert F. Hill about someunorganized women (house- i

wives, mothers, etc.) who take onan organized crime ring in theirlittle town of New Campton(fictional name I expect).

The film starts out pretty slowwith the usual introductions ofthe characters,-but once it getspast that hurdle it llows ra[hersmoothly only hitting one or twopotholes along the way.

Edward Herman of "Eleanorand Franklin" fame, stars as thecrime fighting minister Rev.Mike Hill who puts together thegroup of ladies after one mobsterwould not return his chureh'smoney that a church memberplaced on a horse race.

The Reverend and his women(Barbra Harris, Karen Valentine,Cloris Leachman, VirginiaCapers, and Patsy Kelley) then.head out to rid their town of thisvile scumb that, is destroyinglittle minds and perverting thétown's ethics. Of course, they

botch everything .up, and thecriminals get wise and retaliateby blowing up the church. lVhichgets Anne Woods (Susan Clark) acool thinking secretary for thechurch into the picture andthings start shaping up.

None of the performances areextremely outstanding, excepùthe outrageous characterazationsof Patsy Kelly and Douglas V.Fowley, one of the best te¡rnssince "Burns and Allen", purecomic genious.

There are alot of extremelvfunny bits all through the fil¡i

but something seems to belacking that ties them together.The plot line is loose in places,and the di¡ector doesn't seem tobe able to piece it all togethereither, but I've always felt a filmdoesn't have to be artisticlyperfect to be funny.

"The North Avenue Irregu-lars" is playing at the Manches-ter Mall Cinema and should beseen as soon as possible, and ifyou don't want to take my wordfor it, ask any of the 253 adultswho were rolling'in the aislesfrom laughing so hard, the day Isaw it.

Prop. l3 still cutting

Still another Prop. l3-relatedcutback on our campus waslamented Tuesday by businessinstructor George D. Shine, whosaid the cut in funds to FCC'sCareer Center has "emasculated"the program, and deprivedstudents of a "very importantschool facility."

Shine spoke to the StudentSenate Tuesday in a bid forstudent support to reinstatethose parts of the Career Centerprogram that were recentlyhalted.

Two tests that are no longeroffered are the GATB, GeneralAptitude Test Battery, and theEdwards Personal Preferencetest.

Janice Blood, another businessinstructor, had students takeadvantage of both tbese tests, asdid Shine. Blood said she is "veryeoncerned" to get the testsstarted again, and said thebusiness division is looking for'"any support from anywhere" toreinstate the tests, but "espe-cially from students."

the Career Center. on thesecond floor of the StudentServices building, still has muchto offer. Besides the library ofcollege eatalogues, and the filefor major requirements, thecenter houses a microfilm file ofthe state's college schedule,catalogued descriptions of jobconditiòns in various trades,Department of Laboi publica.tions, and the Eureka computer,which can punch out a huge storeof constantly updated informa-tion on hundreds of trades andthe träining needed for them.

But, according to Shine, thisinformation is not enough forstudents who want to find outwhat careçr would best meettheir persónal needs and abilities. He said they need the kindof aptitude and preference teststhat are no longer offered at thecenter, and esþecially they needsomeone there "to talk to" whounderstands it all.

Shine says he "understands"tha! college funds are limited,and that there are many other

Career Oenter program, s¿id he's"hopeful that the need" toreinstitute the ftrll program "will

'be recognized," since it "addsanother dimension to csreer

r evaluation."

Reid said that.when the center

by L¡ur¡BlttiMon¡gi¡S Editor

A very important ease sure tobe followed by pronuclear andantinuclear aetivists will begoing to trial in April. The case isSilkwood vs. Kerr-McGee Corp.

Karen Silkwood was employedas a lab technician at aKerr-McGee plutonium plantnear Oklahoma City. She alsowas emþloyed by the Oil,Chemical and Atomic WorkersInternational (OCAW), to spy onthe Kerr-McGee Corp.

There had been several allega-tions against Kerr-McGee, accus-ing them of fraud and dangerousooerations.'F ive weeks after Silkwoodbesan investigation of Kerr-Mc-Geã. she hanðled some food inher refrigerator that had beencontaminated with a microscoPicamount of plutonium, a deadlysubstance. There wasn't enoughplutonium to kill her, but she washospitalized.

{Jne week later, she wasdriving to meet a union repre-senta[ive to give him a manila

Iolder containing supposed docu-ments of Kerr-McGee, when shewas kilìed in an automobileaccident (she hit a culvert in the

LETJru

The first thing I thought whenI read the editorial by Ms.Benitez in last week's Rampagewas what if, about 2,0(X) yearsago, the Jerusalem Daily came ,

out with a similar editorial aboutthe danger of the new cultheaded by that suspicious actingNazerene?

I don't know how muchin{luence the Jewish press hadthen but I can't help bqt wonderif such editorials contributed tothe climate of hate and distrustwhich led to the murder, by therighteously indignant people ofJerusalem, of the vrewest "mes-siah," the carpenter,/philosopherJesus.

Of course, the above is onlyattempting to illustrate how.iperspectives change with time.

However, I ain certain thatthere were paients, friends,legislators and established "relig-ions" who were honestly andsineerely concerned when theirchild or friend left home to liveand learn with a radical new

road that was apparentlY hiddenfrom view).

That was ove¡ four Years ago.Shortly after her death the Pla¡t '

was closed down, after thecompany refused to meet newfederal safety standards.

Silkwood's family filed alawsuit against the Kerr-McGeeCorp. two years ago and the caseis finally going to trial.

The lawsuit accuses Kerr-Mc-Gee of negligence and the familyis asking for $11.5 million indamages.

On both sides, evidence iscircumstantial, so the jury's job

, is ßoing to be a difficult one.The Silkwood lawyers are

basing their lawsuit on theplutonium contamination. Thelawyers believe someone fromKerr-McGee tried to scareSilkwood by contaminating .herfood. When this didn't work, theytried to run her off the road torecover the documents she wastrying to deliver. Apparently itwas just by chanee that she hitthe culvert in the road, surpris-ing both herself and whoeverwas trying to run her off theroad.

Kerr-McGee says Silkwoodcontaminated herself to drama.tize her complaint over the

plant's safety. The "company alsosaid Silkwood didn't have a

manila folder, but that she hit theculvert trying to commit suicide.It was a last attempt; she washoping Kerr-McGee would getblamed. Kerr-McGee lawyers saYthey can produce evidence thatSilkwood tried to commit suicidemore than once.

Durins pretrial testimonY, itwas shoún that Kerr-McGee didnot report over 100 contamina-tion aócidents at the Plant andcould not account for 60 Poundsof missrng plutonium. That isenough plutonium to make five

atomic bombs. It is now believedit was smuggled into a foreigncountry.

An ex-employee testified thata Kerr-McGee supervisor hadonce tried to steal uranium froma government stockpile. Duringthe congressional investigation,Dr. Karl Morgan, director of afederal health-physics programin Tennessee, rated the plant'ssafety problems as the secondworst he had ever encountered.

The manila folder was sup-posedly missing at the scene of

I

the accrdent, but thaÙ wasn'ttrue. A state trooper Picked uPthe manila folder at the scene ofthe accident and Placed it in

Silkwood's car. Kerr-McGee offi-cial Roy King agreed to meetwith the trooper at the locationthe car had been towed.

The night before their meet-ing, according to FBI reports, theowner of the garage, two othereompany men, and the trooperwent to the garage. The next daythe trooper told King the papershad already been removed.

King öidn't know what thefolder contained, or even if itreally existed.

Th,e Silkwood supporters seemto bé in a most difficult position.They're fighting a very im-portant company that has thesupport of the Atomic IndustrialForum, an important politicalally in the nuclear industry.

Tþe Silkwood side has beenplagted by many diffieulties.Two key witnesses left thecountry before they were servedwith subpoenas. Two otherwitnesses died right before theywere to be questioned on thecase. And there were many otherincidents.

The case has taken so long togo to trial because of a flood of

pretrial problems.

The Silkwood lawYers haveforced two judges off the case

because of -favôritism

towards

Kerr-McGee. Because of suchproblems, the Court of Appealsappointed Judge Theis of Kansasas a special out-of-state magis-trate,

Kerr-McGee tried to get t!e_suit thrown out of court oìjurisdictional grounds and otherpoints of law. Judge Theis deniedtheir attempts and ordered thecase to trial.

Both sides expect the verdictin by May, but that won't be theend of the issue. Whichever sideloses will appeal the case, so itcould go on indefinitely. lVhat isneeded is some concrete evi-dence, something that can bedproved in court. With onlycircumstantial evidence, it's going to be hard to proveKerr-McGee was at fault. TheSilkwood lawyers have their jobcut out for them.

(Note: The ABC network isnow 'working on a TV movieabout Karen Silkwood. It will becoming out later this year.)

Whqt's cl 'cult'qnd whot's o 'religion'?religious leader or philosophersuch as Socrates, Christ, St.Francis or Martin Luther, just tomention a few.

I am not advocating that cultsshould be left totally withoutobservation or even restraints on

certain activities.

On the other hand, I do notbelieve that any "establishedchurch" should be exempt frompublic scrutiny or the laws of thisland either.

If I am not mistaken Ms.

Benitez is a Ohristian. I shouldthink that as a Christian shewould be a staunch supporter offreedom for newly developingreligious únovements.

After all, if the parents andauthorities and editorial writersof 2,000 years ago had got their

way, Ms. Benitez (and a lot ofother people) would not beChristian nciw because lhe earlychurch - the cult of Christianity

- would have been stoppedbefore it could cause the "wasteand degradation of other youngIives."

- D¡nette Gee

Writer Gommends Benilez' cult editoriol

I'd like to commend' Ms.Benitez on her editorial lastweek, "Are we too tolerant ofcults?" Although probably not allcults are "shady" or "bizarre,"I'm glad it was brought to theattention of students on thiscampus. \

Ever since the Jonestownmassacre, the media have hadimmense reports on cults andtheir activities. I'm relieved to

see something in the collegepress as well. Perhaps it willkeep a few young adults on thiscampus from being lured into acult, without really knowingwhat they are getting into.

My heart goes out to Parentswhose children are involved inthese activities. There areenough problems facing today'syouth without worrying aboutwhat religion to get involved in! Iread in The Fresno Bee last

Friday about how Synanon pairsoff teenage children in socalled"small marriages," then beatsthem for minor infractions ofrules.

The same artiele quoted theleader Dederich as saying that hewas quite willing to break a foe'slegs and to tell him "next time I'llbreak your wife's legs and thencut your child's ear off." Theyalso mentioned how he is still

awaiting trial for the "rattle'snake attack" on the lawyer.

. I càn't understand how intelli-gent people let themselvesbecome involved with thesetypes. But even more, I can'tunderstand how sick people likeManson and Dederich get in theposition of holding such power inthe first place.

The men's basketball teammay find themselves wanting toforget Friday's 60-55 upset lossto COS, but City fans won't soonforget what it took to make it tothat game.

ìh" -"o *on ."u"o of theirlast eight games,, making themthe valley's hottest tea¡n goinginto the ñraughanessy.Playoffs.They lost only twice in l3 homeappearances, certainly givingCity fans something to cheerabout.

Friday's loss was an especiallybitter finale for Fresno. consider-ing they had beaten the Giantsby 17 points only a week,earlier.

The Rms suffered from a coldshooting night,.hitting only 23 of60 shots from the field. Even so,neither team led by more than

Íive points in the game, which _

wasn't decided until the closingminutes.

Fresno had several scoringopportunities down the stretct.including two shots. with 22seconds remaining, but failed tocapitalize.

Craig Cleveland was the R¿ms'high scorer with 14 points.Teammates David Ramirez andKeith Postler added 12 and 10points respectively. ;

Even though Friday's loss wasan obvious disappointment toRam coach Chuóli Stark, theseason as a whole can eertainlvbe considered a suecess.

the Rams featured one of thevalley's leading scorers in RickRya_n, who averaged 18.2 pointsin league. Ryan proved- very

instrument¿l in guiding the R¿moffense along with Postler.

John Lansston and RonChatman bot=h put on someimpressive defensive shows forFresno. Langston was primarilyresponsibleleague's topof Reedþ,considerablyaverage at that time. Chatm¿udominated the boards for theRams throughout the season. Hegrabbed eight defensive re-bounds in one half againstAmerican River.

Coach Stark has a lot to beoptimistic about next yeai'steam. Postler and Clevela¡d,both st¿rters, will return. Alsocoming back will be R¿mirez andKeith Wright,, who both sawconsiderable action in reserveroles.
