ASB officers and the StudentSenate will have an opportunityto "get their heads together"Friday and Saturday at a.camp inKings Canyon National.Forest.

Along with getting their headstogether, the retreat will providethe new senators with back-ground on FCC's student govern-ment and their dt¡ties. They alsoare to discuss such issues as:

difficulties."2 Responsibilities and duties.3 Prio¡itizing objeqtives, de-

fining reasons for ASB involvement.

4 Long range planning,scheduling, and procedures orpolicies for implementing ideas.

5 Providinga firm foundationfor future ASB direction.

"The question of whether wewill be able to get our headstogether in two days when wehaven't been able to get aquorum together in the Senate

for over three weeks remains tobe answered," observed SenatorJulie Benitez.

Ken Mitchell, legislative vice-president, saìd, "Hopefully wec¿n return with some directionalresponsibility, and for some ASBwill be on top of their prioritylist."

Also invited, besides theSenate, are FCC President ClydeMc0ully, Dean of Students MerleMartin, Dean of Women DorisDeakins. and Dean of MenDouglas Peterson.

w¡tl leod lo quorumFailing to make a quorum for

the fourth straight week, theASB Senate will now attempt tomeet their problem head on byholding a special election March16.

The election, to fill five emptysenatorial seats, is being held notbecause of resignations, ratherout of necessity. Most of thesenators simply do not come tothe meeting. A minimum of 14senators is required to make a

. quorum and thus do business.

Even though the same senatorscome each week, they are notenough to meet the requirement.

Although they should not voteon proposals put before them,the senators Tuesday discussedthe possibility of sponsoringanother wheelchair basketballtournament. But as ASB advisorDouflas Peterson put it, "Youdon't have a budget, you don'thave a quorum. You must getthese t¿ken care of before youc¿n do anything."

Death. Does it annoy you tohear of it, speak of it, know of it?Many people still regard thesubject as morbid, and yet ithappens to all of us sooner orlater.

Are we afraid of it simplybecause we do not know what itis about? Death frightens many,but a new class being instructedhere at FCC gives a newperspective on death for thosewho wish to know.

'Pretendin' the Íifiies ote st¡ll orou-hound'By Fonda Kubota

Do you remember bobby sox,padded suits, poodle skirts,shades, black leather jaekets,hairdos like Elvis Presley,Mickey Mouse fan club. sweat-ers, hot rods, drive.ins, hambur-gers, shakes, old Chev)rs ordancing the twist?

The sounds of the 50's ofsha-n¿-na, docwa doowa, lalal¿and shi-boom shi-boom, areemerging once again.

FCC students Steve Abbott,Debbie Hansen, Penny Jackson,Mike Riley and CSUF s VanBridges and Dave Schnell,known as "The Great Pretend-ers," help keep the revivalrolling.

"Steve would imitate Elvis fora long time, and do 50's songs.We talked about getting a bandtogether," said Jackson. "Vanand Dave are the new memberswho joined recently."

"The band we h¿d beforewasn't hardly as good. When weadded two new members, itchanged the whole content of the

group," Steve added.the Great Pretenders got

serious about a year ago, whenthey appeared at Sierra JuniorHigh f)'s Sock Hop. For the next

four weeks, they are now doingshows at the Sheraton Inn CrazyHorse Saloon on weekends.

Olen Abbott. Steve's dad, isthe manager of the group. "Theygot 400 hours and make about 10cents an hour for their work. Youdon't want to encourage anyoneeise. The group kínd of floatsaround like osmosis."

Since the group began appear-.ing at the Sheraton, they beganto attract large crowds. "Theysaid they made more moneysince the last three years on aSunday night," smiled Hansen.

Penny added, "Most of thepeople would come, eat dinner orhave a drink and leave. Lately,the people have been staying andwatehing the whole show. Lots ofpeople like it, because that wasthe time when they were kids.It's refreshing ánd different fromthe same ol' thing."

rehears¿lsresearch,

ll involves

long hours, pressures, and hardwork to put together oneprofessional sequence or show-ing.

Songs such as "Young Love,""Don't Forbid Me," "Banana BoatSong," "Too Much," "Singing TheBlues," "Moonlight Gambler,""Marianne," "lrue Love," "Bluelrfonday," and "Love Me Tender"go into the act.

Each member of the group hadsome musical and singing exper-iences before forming the GreatPretenders.

"We all have our roots fromchurch," Steve replied. He was inchorus during high school andjunior'high. Penny and Debbiewere chamber singers at FresnoHigh, "I've been in the choirsince third grade and have beenin church all my life."

Bridges was in a Christiangroup f<lr two years. Mike hadexperiences in band at Mcl¿ne."I played'the drums since I was10 years old" I figure I'm good inone thing and that's it."

"It's kind of weird, it's astrange group. I never sang 50's

rock-n-roll until two monthsago," said Schnell. "lhis is themost credible vocal group ever. Inever heard five to six peoplesing so well."

"I think it's magic, bec¿use theothers been together louger, Vanand I are just hanging out. Thereare times when things are slow,we work really well, and jivearound and talk," Dàve ex-plained.

Steve commented, "We're newat it, we're young at it. Thisgroup is only six weeks old."

Most of the research is done atthe library or at Steve's house.They find tapes that contdins ã0'smusic, listen to it over and over,then try to copy the tunes andsounds of the song, then rehearseit.

Each individual picks his orher own costumes. Steve - oldã0's tux: Van - hard leatherjacket; Dan - sweater boy; Mike

- delaro suit; Debbie and Penny

- poodle ski¡ts, saddle shoes,and boUby sox. Also, the hairdosare styled in a special cert¿in

u¡ay."We make them, some we get

at the thrift shop. We ask otherladies who grew up in the 50'sand tell what they wo:e.r'

"In this group, everybody pullshis own weight. In orde¡ to makeprofessional, we have differentideas in mind. We want toentertain," said Steve. "We don'twant to play for high schooldances ail orrr lives."

The Great Performers haveoffers to perform in Disneylandduring this summer, and ClovisHigh,

"Our goal is to make it to thetop. I would rather go to LasVegas, because of the money andthe big time. I don't want to be aconcert pla¡'er," Steve seriouslysaid.

The group has gone through along hard struggle and still-aregoi¡-S strong. "God had broughtus all together," Van added.

"The theory is to relearn howto eat " explained Gudo Hall-stone. "You learn Co tune in towhat your eating clues are, theneliminate them one at a time."

Ms. H¿llstone is referring tothe unique class she teaches,Nutrition, Beh¿vior¿l Modifica-tion, and Weight Control. lhe sixweek course, which began Feb.24, k z non-credit comrnunityservice cl¿ss. It meets everyThursday in A-124 frou¡ 7 to l0p.m.

To overweight individuals whohave tried everything from pillsto st¿rvation dieLg to dubs, thisclass may prove an interesting¿nd rewarding change of pace. Itconcentrates on becoming awareof behaviors surrounding eating,selecting and m¿intainirg abal¿nced diet, and learning toreduce tension-induced eating.

According to -Hallstone, theprogram has been "proven moreeffective than other Programs, as

far as permanence.

"The reason is, you over-lesrnhow to change your eatinghabits," she said, adding that to

change eating habits one mustchange behavior habits, "Ifyou're used to eating in front ofthe television, you've conditionedyourself to assocþte food with'TV. You h¿ve to change thatbehavior." .

Stude¡ts are taught that thereis a difference between emotionaland physical hunger. "Emotionsor futigrre are often mist¿ken forhunger," said Hallstone.

They are also taught how todeal with oudside stimuli thailead to caûing. Hallstone ex-plained, "The first *'eeh. every-one keeps a Iood mouitûr to seehow and where they eat. Youknow, on the phone, whilestudying, in front of therefrigerator, and so on."

This helps the students seewhy they eat under certainconditions or at certain times.Then they can work on changing.

"I also teach a - basic, wellbalanced diet," said Hallstone."The whole family should'eatquality foods like whole grainbreads, fresh fruits, and vegeta-bles."

She suggests that the studentsconcentrate on tasting andenjoying their food, but cut llownon portions. In addition, sheencoura8es eltercrse.

How do ûhe students react to

the ctass? "I want to take it twoor three tinres so it becomes apart of me," said Joy Groseclos."I have to change my thinking,and I can't do it alone. I'm justthrilled with this class because Ifeel that it will really help me."

Another student, JeannetteGrider, remarked, ''It's doing mesnme good already. It makes you¡nore aware of what you aredoing, like always eating in a<:ertain part of the house,"

Thg success of the class isiliustrated b¡, the [ac!, that-nian5'¡,.:o¡le eoui<l noi sign up fc,' thissessior¡ as the limit was 25students. And many who tookthe class last semester weieinterested in keeping in touchwith the met,hods. so anadvanced class was formed.

"So many people wanted totake it over, I got a continuingclass for them," explained Hall-stone. "It's a slightly moreindividual approach."

Either way, the class appearsto be working for those who arewilling to put some effort into it."It's not a gimmick or fad," saidfiallstone. "lt's just looking atyourself and taking the responsi-bility oÍ changing you. You haveto really want to do it,"

When FCC's Ray Rubiowarmed up while waiting for hisfirst race of l¿st week's traçkmeet, he kept in mind a theory helearned as a sophomore in highschool.

Desire, dedication, and disci-plinasstu10th grade year at lfadera High.

The theory that tlubio Pickedup from Fresno Pacific's headtiack eoach Bill Cockerhamobviously paid off as he clockedan impressive 3:58.1 1500 me'ters, then c¿me baek ¿nd ran a1:68.1 800 meters-. Both times arenot¿ble for any JC runner ¿t thisstage of the se¿son.

But the second-Year ace ùho

surprised with his times.

"I've been training under thehardest track workout I haveever had," says Rubio. l'EverYmorning I start out with sevenmiles, tlhen after school I go domv track Dractice, which is eithera ïisøn"ã workout or a sPeed

After winning four team valleYcross country chamPionshiPs atMadera, and finishing his seniortrack season as the valleY's toPmiler, as well as seventh in thest¿te mile with 'o 4:15 clocking'Rubio had other offers than justFresno City.

"Idaho State recruiüed meheavily after my senior crosscountry season," stated Rubio. "Iwasn't sure if I wanted to cometo City because I was the onlYsenior 'out of Madera. CoachFries kept, talking to me so Idecided to come)"

"Ray has a lot of Personal,

pride," commented Rubio's form-èr high school coach DennisDeWitt. "He's the toughestrunner I have ever had and I runfast hard workouts. He is also themost dedicated athlete I haveever coached."

Coach Bill Musick said of Scott,"He really wrestled well. Hisfi¡st two matches were not evenclose."

Wiedenhoefer, who suffered aknee injury in the divisionaltournamenù, put on a fine displayof courage But despite sittingout ¡rac+.ice all week long, it wasjusu a matter of time until theknee gave cut against, some ofthe best competition in the state.Due to the injury he had to

Students don'l core qbout fooling with genesSenole--so why should you? now scory reol¡ty

As I finished reading theeditori¿t on Feb. %L I got.towondering to what the write¡really is talking about.

The concern he has about theSenate is geniune I'm sure.However, the alternatives heofTers are totally inadequate tosay the least.

I have talked to PeoPle on

any reason for it. lVhY? TheYdon't understand what it issupposed to do. TheY have notséõñ any evidence that wouldsupport having the StudentSenate.

As far as a solution one isconcern, hogwash! People oncampus just don't see any reasonfor it. Why? Well, this brings meto my other amazing discoverywhen I t¿lked to students. Theydon't go to school to see ClintEastwood movies, have poorlywritten campus papers thatconcern themselves with "roast-ing" reporters, or speçial days.They are here to get aneducation. How about that. Theywant to get an education. Thestudents actually think thatsehool is for getting an education.News to this newspaper I'm sure.

This would throw out solutiontwo because the students don'tneed nor want to hear about it,and want it ended.

Why are you worried, MarkHernandez? The students don'tworrv about it. The teachersdon'fworry about it. The Senatehas never ever worried about it'so keep calm'

The solution that seems in theminds of the majority of thestudents is to abolish the StudentSenate now!!! If the studentshave a grievance, then let themtake it up with an administrator.they don't need the StudentSenate to solve thq problems. Alot of us can handle our Problems.Really, we have le¿rned how todo it.

If the editorial page and thestudents who are on theRampage would look at realityand see that they are beating adead horse, then they míght getan educ¿tion with the rest of the

students.One of the mrnY stu-dente who cones toechool to get rn'educe-ti¡¡n.

,Becq¡se...To one of the-many:

As the only person named inyour letter, I have taken the taskof responding to your letter.

It is clear that you have anunderstanding of the problemwhen you say no one knows.whatthe Student Senate is supposedto do. But your attitude of totalabolishment is both i¡rationaland unreasonable. The reason fora Student Senate is to allow forseveral things: Fi¡st, a construc-tive body which can, if necessary,stand as an organization capableof putting across various actions.The best current example of thisis the system of unions in thisnation. When several membershave a grievance, the body takesup action to solve that grievance.

A second reason is the currentprogram of emergency loansmade to needy students. The factthat a school district or schoolcannot make these loans man-dates and demands the formationof some sort, of benevolentorganization; in this case, theAssociated Student Body andgovernment. Any member whopays dues to the ASB has theright to run for office wiihin theorganization, and as such, allmembers have the right to voteon any action by their govern-ment through referendum.

Another reason is the oldstandby that it serves as a powerbase for students to run for officein the future as well as estbblisha "feel" for government organi-zations. this has been docu-mented as true throughout thehistory of all student govern-menùs nationwide, and has beenproven several times in our ownarea as well (Rick Lehman,former student body president ofFresno City College, was recent-Iy elected to the State Assem-blY).

But the argument you give(that people just don't card) is arather foolish st¿tement. Peopledo care, but tend to be apatheticbee¿úse they do not seq resultsimmediately after their protests,or by the fact that they would notlike to work within the system.You see, we all.get an education,but some like to have cert¿inthings on campus available tothem for relaxation or enrich-ment of their curriculum. Bytotally abolishing ASB, youremove the opportunity for

cheap but good entertainment.

Further, you state that stu-dents know how to solve theirown problems, but I wonder ifyou actually realize how long ittakes. Having served on theStudent Senate, I am probablYmore aware of the unresPo4sive-ness of the administration of thiscollege than the average student.Also, this lack of response notonly includes recommendationsfrom the Senate. but fromindividual students as well (see

the Washington, D.C. junket as abetter example).

I hope that you realize there ismuch more than Clint Eastwoodmovies involved in this. I suggestyou talk to members of theStudent Senate, either on cam-pus or in their office. Take thetime, because if you don't, thenyou're only as bad as those youcondemn, and then you are reallynothing at all.

As an informational point: Theeditorial of Feb. 24 was writtenas a collaborative effort ofseveral writers. The Rampage isno longer funded by the ASB, asof August 4, 1976, when theState Center Community CollegeDistrict Board voted to remove it'from the budget of the StudentSenatè. The reason for theeditorial being written in thefirst place was to inform thestudents of several availableoptions, if they were interested,but is qualified by the point thatabolishment of the StudentSenate totally would be anirresponsible move.

ALBUM REVIEW

It is darkness.A hush has fallen over the eity, and few individuals are

awake. save for those in a lighted room. In the room, six menhuddle over a large vat, and sample the material i¡ variousways. At a predetermined time, a generator is activated and aspark touches the mass of chemicals through a wire.

the chemicals then begin moving, for they are norá as one,and living.

As a science fiction story, this would be thrown out for beingteo over-used, but as reality, we are frighteningly close. Therevelation that scientists have discovered how to mix DNAmolecule chains together proves to us that a new wave ofscience is fast approaching. The DNAmolecule chain, whichgives cells instructions as to their new form, is a basic buildingblock of life, and man has begun tampering with it all toozealously. This new capability opens the doors for theenrichment of mankind, through genetic engineering andcontrolled mutation. but is not.currentlv controlled.

As most scientists would agree, control is not allowable, forthen total control by the state would result. This type ofcontrolling force could ultimately lead to reasearch anddevelopment into certain fields of genetics which could result incontrol of the yet-unborn, or even a system of eugenics.Eugenics would merely be a bloodless form of obtaining whatHitler tried: an ultimate. master race.

On the other hand, however, lie the prbblems of no eontrol,and the fear of the genetic engineers: The creation of theDoomsday Bug, a vi¡us so deadly that it cannot be stopped.

lVhich would be better? S¡hich would be worse? A difficultchoice that is nearly impossible to decide, yet can be resolved.The problem so far lies in who controls the research, andneither side trusts the other.

The solution is simple enough: Merely est¿blish a seven-mancommittee, composed of th¡ee scientists, three governmentofficials, and a civilian. This agency would be charged with the -

responsibility of hearing requests from the various fields ofresearch and would pass judgement. On this basis, a flexiblemeans of oversight on genetic engineering and manipulationcould exist, as well as maintain itself as a purposeful andreliable body. Genetic research could go on, but under awatchful and benevolent eye.

Otherwise, who knows when they might develop what? Andif it is the Doomsday Bug, then let's hope they find a cure befo-

roll.A new Eagle is '^e Walsh, a

one-time solo musicia, as joinedthe ranks of the gr.,up. He isdetectable when you hear themusic, but it is definitely still allEagles.

Some crilicism is.due this LP.It lacks the powff to move itslistener like prévious albums.Yet this can be overlookedbecause the good outweighs thebad_ overwhelmingly. It is doingwell on the charts.

Side one of the album startsout with the title track "HotelCalifornia" it drags along slowly,but its tune is favorable. Itincludes such interesting lyricsas,Last thing I remember, I wasrunning for the doorI had to,find the passage backto the place I was before"Relax", said the night man,we are programmed to reeeiveYou can check out any time youwantbut you can never leave.

Following that is the everpopular "New Kid in Town," agood song, real typicaì Eaglestune. A hit by all means, but itsair time was overdone and wornout. Do4't be surprised if youfind yourself ignoring it nexttime you hear it.

A real catchy cut is "Life in the,Fast Lane" it makes you want to

move to the music. Good solidrock and roll. Preceding that is"WasJed Time," a mellow tune,backetl up by orchestra music.

Continuing on Side 2 is thereprise of "Wasted Îime." Itcatches attention because it istotal string instruments. It thenfades into "Victim of Love" a sortof heavy nietal rock tune. The cut"Pretty Maids All in a Row" issmooth. Joe Walsh takes overthe lead vocals on this particularselection. A predictible hit, "îryand Love Again," is followed upby "The Last Resort."

The vocals on this LP, like allother Eagles albums, are verygood. All the Eagles sing,particularìy Don Henly. The.Eagles are Don Henly, GlennFrey, Don Felder, Joe Walsh andRandy Meisner.

The LP was produced by BillSzymczyk for Pandora Produc-tions, LTD. It was recorded atCriteria Studios, Miami Beachand the Record Plant in LosAngeles, March through October1976.

The strings on "lVasted Time"and the reprise were conductedand arranged by Jim EdNorman. Eagles recordings areon Elektra/Asylum reeords andtapes. Check out "Hotel Califor-nia"--you may be glad you did.(Album courtesy of TowerRecords.)
