True or false?Making a motion picture

requires significant capital in-vestment and a large inventoryof sophistÍcated film equipment.

A large production and actingcrew is needed to make even theshortest of films.

A filmmaker must haveseveral years of training beforehe or she is able to produce,aneffective motion picture.

The answers to these ques-tions, film instructor JamesPiper says, are false. PiPershould know.

The FCC instructor has justwritten a book, "PersonalFilmmaking," based on hisexperiences at city college inprodueing relatively inexpensivebut effective films using amater¡¡actors and technicians.

The book was published inAugust by the Reston PublishingCompany, a Prentice-Ilall subsi-diary. "Personal Filmmaking" isPiper's third book. IIis two

INDIAN EVICTION -- lonq Kinkihee cleors out her

office to moke room for microfilm.

Vol. XXX, No.3 Ocr. 9, 1975

previous books, "Piper's Guide toResearch" (1972) and "NaturalReaders and Writers" (19?3)were English textbooks.

"I wrote the book," Piper says,"because there wasn't a textbookfor an introductory filmmakingclass or for the person at homeinterested in shooting somethingbesides Little League games.There are books on'filmmakingbut they assume the student orthe home enthusiast has a lot ofsophisticated equipment. I wasinierested in writing a book forbeginners with basic equiP-ment.'ì

Filmmaking, says Piper, ishard work but its secrets andsuccesses are not the exclusiveproperty of the Hollywood moviestudios.

Students in Piper's Introduc-tion to Film and Filmmakingclaspes have been producingfeature films, humor Pieces,documentaries, and even animated films using the most basic

of filmmaking tools: Super 8millimeter cameras, a film editor,splicer, cassette recorder (forsound effects) and projector.

With this basic-yet relativelyinexpensive-equipment inven-tory, students have been able toproduce effective black andwhite and color films on a varietyof subjects.

The secret of a good film,however, is not in the equipment,Piper says.

The story or idea to becommunicated through the lilmmust be one that is bothinteresting and clear to theviewer. To do this, says Piper,pre-shooting planning, includingscripting the film, must be madepart of every filmmaker'sproduction schedule.

"Indians have been dealt withdifferently than any otherpeople. Once again we are askedto move." Iona Kinkihee'Community Liaison of StudentServices, stated firmly.

She is referring to the evictionnotice she received Sept. 26 fromMerle Martin, dean of students,stating "she must evacuate heroffice in A-1094 as soon aspossible to make room formicrofilm recording equipment."

Kinkhee said "school officialsresponding with inefficiencY"caused the mixup. Martin,refe¡ring to the move, called it amisunderstandinç "Last sPringRobert Arroyo (then EOPSdirector) contacted Dr. (Arthur)Ellish. dean of instruction, aboutacquiring office space for theirprograms. Evidently, there wasa misunderstanding betweenthem, and Arroyo understood itwas all right to use A-1094'

"When Arroyo stepped down,Amador Lopez (his successor)filed an acquisition key form forA-f094. It didn't come to mYattention last week that she wasin the room with no authoriza-tion."

Ronstadtts Yoice does irBy Rod Paul

PBISONER IN DISGUISELINDA RONSTADTAsylum 1045

Like atl other Linda Ronstadtalbums; this one also makes mewonder who arranges the music.She always has incredibly tightmusicians backing her uP; but itis never listed 'who arrangedthem. If Miss Ronstadt did thearranging, it seems that shewould get the predit.

Aside from not knowing whodid the arrangtng, it is still toPouality. One thing that makesthe album so good is that she hassuch a full iound behind hervocals. It's not merelY a guitar orpiano. The beat of the album is

not quite as simple as mostcountry and western-orientedmusic goes. There is some classto this'LP.

Even though this is a LindaRonstadt album, it appears to bedominated by one of themusicians-Andrew Gold. Goldplays acoustic, 12 string, andelectric guitars, drums, regularand electric piano, congas, organ,mussette, and tamborine. He alsobacks Ronstadt up on vocals in afew numbers. It is probablyAndrew Gold and Peter Asher(producer) who had a lot to dowith the music arranginents.r

Of course. what sells a LindaRonstadt album is her vocals.

backups, the attention of thelistener is still focused on her.The vocals actually steal thelistener from the music. She doesnot merely blend in to the band,she completes them. Her vocalsare filled with emotion andfeeling. There are a certainamount of dramatics in them..Often she manages to capturethe element of tragedy in þervocals.

All the cuts on "Prisoner inDisguise" have been written byother composers.

Linda Ronstadt has convincedme that she can take any songand make it sound good. I onlywish she would take good songsand make them great.

"Personal Filmmaking." "Begin-ning filmmakers sometimesmake charming little filmsguided by nothing but instinctand passion; too often, however,the unscripted film, like anunplanned house, simply doesn'thold up. It is far less than it couldbe, and it usually costs far morethan it should."

"The filmmaker changes rolesas his film takes shape," PiPerwrites in "Personal Filmmak-ing'. "First, he is a scriptwriter.N6xt... he manipulates people

Her little brother. Mark, is aninternationally known Irishdancer since he was nine. He isnow 13. "Dancing really helpsyou develop your coordination inall respects, whether you aremale or female. My brother helpsme a lot in my learning."

Mrs. Dougherty said tapdancing was originally a man'sdance. The early rninstrels-wereall men, and the early big-nametap dancers were men.

Mark Valenti, 18, fi¡ds theclass appealing. "The pe<iple inthe class are interesting." .Hedoesn't seem to mind that he isone of few men in the class.

And what do the women of theclass think of it?

Elvira Uhalde, sophomore, "Ireally like it, it's useful, moreuseful' than some class likearchery. But it's tiring, you'vereally got to be in shape forclass."

Nancy Pia, sophomore, "I likeit better than any other P.E.class I've had. I'm really learninga lot, it's fun and it will come inhandy if I ever need it. I think itwill be good to know later on."

'lVomen's self-defense has beenone of the most requested classesat FCC. This semester is thefirst time it has been offered.

The course covers home,travel, child and personal safety,and how to deal with anemergency without panicking.

Although, as \iliedenhoeferputs it, "We don't have anysecret methods that can turn awoman into a Super Chick,"women's self-defense tries toteach women to deal realisticallyand to the best of theircapabilities with an emergency.

Those soneones CoachStephens referred to were goaliePhil Green, frosh sensation BradAllen, and Mark Walker.

Dear Editor',I'm writing in regards to the

Letter in the Rampage entitled,"Tyranny lives in Sen¿te Silencerule." First of all, I wish toexplain my position in thismisunderstanding. As ASBpresidentltakeaveryinteresting view when itconcerns ASB students. Also, aspresident I work very close withyour legislative viee president.In doing so I am aware of much ofhis doings.

The ASB Senate rules ofconduct imposed by the legisla-tive vice president were directedto the Senate, as the nameimplies, and not to the studentbody.

Also, the ASB senator canrelinquish his voiee to anon-voting member if he sodesires. Therefore, overidinganything the legislative vicepresident desires.

I must also point out that thevice president cannot recognize a

rnon-voting member. He can if itis done by the relinquishmentmethod as stated above.

It is pertinent to point out thatI personally hold Mike Kennedya¡rd Dave Schroeder, legislativevice president in high esteem.

I thank Kennedy for his viewsin support of democracy and theright to state one's own view.May I also add, "There is a-timeand a place for everything."

I highly recommend that therules of conduct be observed ifthey are done with impartialityfor all.

As leg vice president, Dave isnot apprehensible in regards toproductive eontributions fromour constituents. Furthermore,he has an obligation to "Robert's

Rule of Order," in which he mustrun- ¿ meeting with highproficiency and standards.

Please take notc of the "Rulesof Conduct."

Dear Editor:In answer to the letter printed

last week, in the Oct. 2 issue,"The Tyranny in Senate Silence,"it would be of interest to you toknow what the author of thatletter left in the minds of yourreaders.

First of all, the rules of conductthat were cited were no formalrules at all, but merely theage-old practice of gentlemanlyand ladylike behavior. The rulethat last week's letter pointed at,the rule of relinquishment of thechair. has to do with thechai¡man of the Senate control-ling outside interference's withthe movement of business. Thisin no way hinders or restricts thevoicing of student opinions ortheir rights.

I wish to make it known to allstudents at City College thatanytime they wish their opinionsexpressed they need only attendthe Senate meetings and request

read the funny little black linesalready printed on the items,prices for the items didn't needto be stamped on. This alsoallowed them to reduce theirprice-stamping staff by 40percent.

With the individual item pricesgone, there was no longer anyway to check whether thecomputer's price was the same asthe one on the shelf, and no wayto even eomparison shop.

The answer to this problemalready exists. A bill introducedby State Senator David Robertithat was signed into law lastweek makes the practice ofomitting item prices illegal.

This is not a blow totechnology, but rather a blow forpeople. Consumer aid bills likethis one keep more peopleemployed and also keep theretailer safe from the label of"bad guy," deserve it or not.

acknowledgement by any one ofthe Senators. The Senator willthen relinquish the floor to thestudent. This is part of theSenator's duty, not the "personaldecision" of the Legislative VicePresident. Senate meetings areheld every Tuesday at 1 p.m., inthe northwest corner of theStudent Center building.

The est¿blishment of this rulewas ONLY intended for thesmooth operation of Se¡atemeetings..Not as a "fateful stepin the direction of tyranny."
