The president pro-temporewould, in the absence of thelegislative vice president, chairsenate meetings: succeed to theposition of legislative vicepresident in the event the officeis vacant; and serve as presidentof the Inter-Club Council.

The president Pro-temP.o_rewould Cttend and vote at ASBExecutive Board meetings, ASBBudset Committee meetings,Studãnt Personnel meetings, andASB Cabinet meetings.

Under the proposed constitu-6ion, the ASB president wouldhave veto power on legislationpassed by the senate.

He would be able to vetolegislation only by submitting astatement of his objection to thesenate by the next regularmeeting following passage of thelegislation.

A veto override is possibleonly when passed by twethirdsvote of the senate.

Also under the proposedconstitution, a term of offiee forStudent Government officers istwo consecutive semesters. Thiswould lengthen the present termby one semester. No membe¡ ofStudent Government, except aSenator, would be eligible toserve more than one term in anyone office.

A relatively new office iuStudent Government is the ASBPress Secret¿riat. The secretari-at would consist of at least twomembers appointed by thelegislative vice president, onewould be a senator; write pressreleases for interested newsservices; and rellect the opinionof the president and the ASB.

Under the proposed constitu-tion, all candidates for officewould be a member of the ASB;maintain a minimum of eightunits before and during the term.of office; and have at least a 2.0cumulative GPA at the close ofthe previous semester.

A candidate for presidentexecutive vice president, orlegislative vice president wouldhave completed at least one yearat FCC upon taking office andhave a 2.5 GPA.

Under the proposed Associ-ated Student Body Constitution,up for student approval'on May 5and 6, two new positions instudent government will be anexecutive vice president and alegislative vice president.

Three-fourths of a majority isneeded to approve the constitu-tion. All ASB members areeligible to vote in the election.

These positions open with thesacrifice of the treasurer'sposition.

Briefly, the position ofexecutive vice president is athrowback to the ASB treasurer.There are some additional dutiês,though. For example, under theproposed by-laws, he wouldpresent a monthly financialstatement to the senate; take aninventory and submit a writtenreport to the senate on all ASBassets; and he is next in the lineof succession to the ASBpresidency.

"I love playing the oboe andunless Im involved in a groupI've found that I end up puttingmy instrument away," shecommented. "I'm glad they havea place for me."

mus¡cions young qnd oldFifteen-year-old Brian Sharp

and ?9-year-old Jack Jackmanhave something in common. Bothare members of City College'sCommunity Symphony Orches-tra.

Theorchestra, founded in 1969by music instructor Alex Mol¡iarand concert violinist RobertKazanjian, is a "community"orchestra in the true sense of theword.

Among its 50 members arestudents, housewives, teachers,a beer distributor, a doctor, a busdriver, a reporter, a secretary,and a pharmacist.

Their one common trait, saysMolnar, is a love for music and adesire to perform.

"IVe've had good and badorchestras in the past, but thissemester's group has a certainspirit, a certain camaraderie,"comments Molnar. "I love beingdirector of the orchestra andpossibly my enthusiasm anddetermination to achieve qualityrubs off."

The Community SymphonyOrchestra meets as a twounitclass Wednesday evenings. Thegroup will give its semésterlyconcert May 16 in the college'snew theater at 8 p.m.

Molnar said the orehestra is anestablished institution at 'uhe '

college and in the community."lil'e're a regular symphonyorchestra; we're not transitory,

It is for people who can play andare willing to prepare."

According to Kazanjian, theorchestra is a "labor of love" foranyone who is "young in spirit."It has filled a void and givenmany fine musicians 'the

opportunity to play and learn, hesays.

"If you can stimulate aninterest, it will feed upon itself,"commented Kazanjian. "I feel theorchestra is an excellent trainingground, particularly for youngpeople. The ,diseipline youacquire in playing with anorchestra lays the groundworkfor benefits from music for yearsto come."

Jackman, one of the foundersof the Fresno Philharmonic 20years ago, plays violin in theorchestra and gives pointers toother violinists. He left thePhilharmonic in 1970 and shortlvafterward joined the mo"ärelaxed FCC orchestra.

"The pressure of the Philhar-monic got to be too much and Ijust didn't want to work thathard anymore," says Jackman."The Community Orchestrapractices once a week and youreally enjoy yourself. I think thisyear's orchestra is better than ithas ever been before,"

Senqte schedulesbudget heqr¡ngs

By Mark JoeePhPublic hearings on budget

priorities will be held in theSenate0hambers May 12 and 15.The results of these hearings willinfluence the Associated StudentBody budget to be approved bythe Student Senate this month.

The hearings will be Mondayfrom 10 until 2 and Tuesday from9 until 1. Any interestedstudent may attend and speak onthe budget.

Members of the Senate will bepresent to listen to students. Thepurpose of the hearings istwofold. First, students can learnmore about where their moniesare going to. Secondly, they willhave the opportunity torecommend where they shouldgo next year.

The Senate approves aninterim budget at their lastmeeting, May ZT. This will allowfunded programs to operateduring the summer, until theofficial budget is accepted in thefall.

this year the Senate workedwith a budget in excess of$165,000. Roughly one-third, or$50,295, of this went towardsathletics. However, ticket salesfrom these sports return some$10,000 back into the generalfund. This fund, in turn, provides

half of the operating revenue ofthe student government.

The next largest budgeteditem was aetivities-$36,261. Thispaid for the free ASB concertseach semester, cultural affâirsprograms, the RamburgerRound-up and other activities.

The Senate also pays for theRampage, Potpourri, and theRam, all campus publications. Inaddition, the oral arts--music,drama and debate--received$14,093.

The $10 paid each semester foran ASB card àlso goes towards aRecreation Night each Mondayand to maintain the StudentLounge. Some $8,000 wasallocated for the running of thestudent government itself. Thisincludes secretarial and otheroffice costs, two installation andawards banquets and a presiden-tial expense account.

The Senate also receives$13,000 of interest annually fromtrust accounts. This money goesto provide scholarships forstudents.

Although this is not a completeexplanation of the present ASBbudget, copies are available inSC-205 or at the budget hearingsthemselves.

Amon lluul II - HIJACKAtco SD:lGlß

Never. thought the day wouldcome when I, who have alwaysplaced Euroek in a class withsenility and the plague, wouldactuaþ confess to liking the bigdaddy of German leutonic rock,Amon Duul tr. But Hijack (theireighth album - collectors take,note) reveals that quite a fewchanges have taken place sincethe days when listening to AmonDuul II was an experience anydedicated rock enthusiast strivedto avoid.

To begin with, nothing onIliiack smacks of boringinstrumental jamming, vapidsynthesizer noodling, tacky,pseudo-classical self-indulgence,overbearing, would be, operaticyodelling, or any of thesymptoms of European progress-.ivism as I've come to detest it. Infact, these Krauts have [aken atip from their Limey brethrenand assimilated the characteris-tics of the British rock'n'rollvanguard as it existed two yearsago.

It's all here - pre-Ne{dinS¡¡e Bowie, the "rock-as-facade"obsessions of Mott the Hoople,eveu traces, though perhapsunintentional, of newer cultheroes John Cale, Kevin Ayers,and Eno. What's more - andbest of all - it's all pulled offwith a combination of crudity,finesse, originality, irreverence,¿nd comic intent that transcendsparody ø achieve a pleasant sortof dementi¿.

For example; in two complete-ly separate songs, both featuringextremely Bowiesque vocals,compcrer .Lothar Meid deliber-ately throws iu plagiarized

Mott'swell ¿s"After

All." Just.sos you'll know theirinfluences. Less obvious refer-ences to rock Anglo-Saxonry¿bound throughout Hiirck, suchas this little gem, which proviilesa sort of cstch¿ll for Mott, Bowie,and Stoues dlcbes: "I just feel

an'Ime/with

my sunglasses lsying dusty / onthe strings of my guitar."

Taken alone, that might soundlike the kind of wistful dec¿dencesome h¿ckneyed rock criticwould write ¿fter too. many

consecutive listenings to Exile onM¡in Street. But in conjunctionwith the exaggerated vocals andthe truly arresting catchiness ofthe Duul's songs it makes forquite amusing listening. In fact,Hijack is a consistently enjoyableâlbum from start to finish - Icould quibble about the excessivelengthiness of "Da Guadeloop,"but there are so few good4Fminute albums around that Ican ill afford to nitpick. So here'sto Amon Duul II - Eurock forpeople who hate Eurock.

Corly Simon PLAYINGPOSSI.JMElelúra 7E;1033

This album earns points juston the strength of its extremelysexist cover graphics - twoglossy black and white NormanSeeff photos of a provocativelyposed, slim and sensuous Carlyclad only in a scant blacknegligee and black, calf-highleather boots (the boots aredispensed with for the backcover shot, but unfortunately

, this trend is not carried furtheron the inside liner).

With a cover worthy ofPenthouee, plus the addedenticement of song titlþs like"Love Out in the Streets,l'^'LookMe in the Eyes," "Are YouTicklish?" and, most appropriate-ly, "Slave," I wonder why shedidn't call the album LeetherBondoge but beyond that loomsthe larger question of motives:Why resort to such a tawdrybaring of ilesh? Her last albumcover depicted a pregnant Carly, the right to flaunt it.

so maybe she merely wanted toreassure her fans that the trialsofMotherhood have left her nonethe worse for wear. Or perhapsthis is' a last-ditch effort tocatapult her album to NumberOne? Or is she attempting toreach a heretofore apatheticmale audience?

These and other profoundquestions may go unanswered,but at least we can all take heartthat Carly's musical standardshave felt no conipromise in theface of her shameless physicalexploitation. I mean, I don't claimto be a fan or anything, but Ihave to admit that Carly's finesinging and undeniably penchantfor good melodies, coupled withRichard Perry's spectacularproduction, have from time totime attracted my ear.

Well, Playing Possum pre-serves the best of Carly's goodqualities, renders practicallyinsignificant her habitual ex-cesses, and displays a newcasualness of approach, with noloss in professionalism, that Ithink adds up to her nlostlistenable album yet. Her lyricsstill tend toward trite psycho-logical explications of loveaffairs, and she continues toruthlessly embarrass her hus-band whatsisname by humoringhis notion that he can sing,allowing him to accompany heron the title track. But these areminor flaws, More important isthat Pleying Poeeum is the firstCarly Simon album without asingle bum cut, a solid album byan est¿blished st¿r. She's earned

A United Artists release,"Smile" concerns the lives of thepeople involved in a teenage'beauty pageant and mixes humorwith pathos. Miss Feldondescribes the character ofBrenda as "slightly. ridiculous,"with more than a touch ofphoninees and nastiiress.

Born in Pdepression,her earliest acting experience asdressing up in old clothes whenshe was three, pretendinþ shewas a princess. IVhen she wassix, she played the triangle in theschool percussion band. In totalsilence between musical phrases,shewould play her part.

- "I was totally unprepared forthe feeling of utter pówer andincredible acceptance I felt. Atsix, that's q vgry overwhelmingand satisfying kind of thing. Anãto most actors, it's overwhelm-ingly satisfying for the rest oftheir lives. That was the firsttime I felt what it was like to beon the stage and I loved it!"

As an avid movie-goer, shewould watch the amateur tapdancing shows between thèfeatures and wish she were thedancer. After seeing a stageversion of Pinochio, sñe imiøtõdhim, too.

"All of these imitations were,of. course, experience," sheexplained. "It really doesn'tmatter ifyou have ¿n audience ornot. It's still acting, and highschool and amateur-Droductioãsare legitimate experi-ence."

Miss Feldon studied drama incollege and following graduation,did some work in summe¡ stockproductions. At ?2, she went toNew York but was largelyunsuccessful. She and herhusband opened an art g"allery inGreenwich Village. They lostmoney and Barbara remembersühat they were so poor she couldonly afford to d¡ink powderedmilk. She went from 145 poundsto 120 pounds and got a modelingjob in the early sixties asRevlon's Top Brass girl ("Sic'em, Tiger").

Following her exposure incommereials, she was hired forguest shots on television showswhich led to her role as DonAdams' right-hand girl in "GetSmart." Miss Feldon feelsextremely fortunate to havebeen on such a successful showand calls the fast pace oftelevision "very stimulating."

"Acting is really fun,"- shebelieves. "Once you've done it,you can go on ùo another role.You don't have to keep doing thesame thing again. Television isenergized. I love having to be atthe studio by 6 and then just go!"

Miss Feldon recalls the time''hen she and Don Adams weredsked to ride a float in the RoseBowl Parade. After two hours offreezing in the January cold,they reached the commentator'sstand. Relieved that the ordealwas finally over, Miss Feldonrelaxed only to hear, "And now,here they are, the stars oftelevision's 'Get Smart,' DonAdams and Barbara Eden!"

Doubting that lightning couldstrike twice in the same place,

Miss Feldon agreed to ride in lastSaturday's Clovis Rodeo parade,but again was announced with"And here she is, the star ofUnited Artist's néw movie,'Smile,'-Barbara Eden!"

Despite these rare drawbacks,Miss Feldon c¿nnot think of asingle thing that she does not likeabout her career.

"It may sound Pollyanna-ish,but I think it's ideal," sheconfessed. "What would I not likeabout dressing up in costumesand 'playing?' When you'reacting, you have to be relaxed,free, and comfortable. So its likean extended childhood and theworld pampers you. Whowouldn't iike that? It's not just achild's fantasy come truã-it'sbetter because it's more human."

Now divorced, Miss Feldonlives on a boat in Marina DelRey. She is taking extensioncourses at UCLA in drawing,painting, and history and is nõtself-eonscious about her no-toriety as a star.

She feels thatknown is basicallyit can make aalienated. differenShe is grateful that the warminl"g9 of Agent g9 has puttelevision viewers at ease àndher at a human level.

"Îhe nice thing about beingintroduced through television iõthat people are not in awe of meas they are of movie stars. theythink of you as one of the familyso .there's a very casualrelationship. There is no'freakiness' to them so thevinclude themselves in what I'¡ädoing."

Miss Feldon is glad thatwomen are being portrayedin films more añd more aseomplete human beings insteadof lightweight figures. As womensee themselves as much broaderindividuals, she said, theestablished "man-woman" defini-tions become fuzzy.

"This will help both the sexesto become much more fulfilled asthey expose more of their realselves," she remarked. "Theydon't have to hide themselvesbecause of the stereotypes theyhad to put out in front before.Women are now being presentedin more interesting ways."

She recalled when every scriptshe was sent would ultimatet¡rhave the woman break down andcry when faced with an emotionalcrisis.

"In real life, it's often the manwho cries and the women goesinto a screaming snit! Now that'sreal behavior."

Miss Feldon revels in herworld of creativity throughacting and she attributes it to abasic reverence for life and whatit has to offer.

"My work is so involved withmy philosophy of life,'l she saidearnestly. "If there were thegreatest part or the greatestdirector in the world but it wasgoing to be a bad experienee, Iwouldn't want to do it, beeauselife is too great a gift to spoil bybeing miserable.

FCCts wheelchoir orhleteto defend Grown of relays

Dick Thomas, a product as wellas promoter of City College'sphysical education classes forhandicapped students, will participate for the fourth straightyear in the West Coast Reìays,on Saturday, May 10, at RatcliffeStadium.

Thcmas, a 59-year-old student,will race in a special event (eitherthe 440 or 880) for wheelchairathletes against four other localwheelchair athletes: DannyDelgado, also from FCC, JayHayne, Chester Faller, andDanny Hernandez. Thomas haswon the event the past threeyears.

A well-known athlete inwheelchair events, Thomas hasparticipated internationally inTokyo and New York. He alsoclaims to be the first person tointroduce the mile race toAmerican competition in f964.$

Dick does more than just race,too. He has been an energeticsupporter of athletic programsfor the handicapped, and he wasa major figure in FCC's becoming -

the first community college inthe state to develop a physicaleducation program for handi-capped students.

Fresno presently offers two

classes, one, in wheelchairbasketball, and another which isdivided into three seetions. Inthis class, one group lifts weightswith supervision from AthleticDirector Hans Wiedenhoefer,another works with swiminstructor Gene Stephens in thepool, and the third exercises inthe gymnastics room with aphysical therapist from theFresno Community Hospital.

Since Fresno originated theprogram in the fall of 1973,several other community col-leges have started similarprograms, with DeAnza Collegeof Cupertino now leading theway with one fulltime corree-tional therapist on the staff andanother to be added next fall.

Gary Graham, director of theEnabler Services, a program forstudents with physical disabili-ties at FCC, says the currentathletic program is good, but "wewant to keep moving." He hopesFCC will hire a correctionaltherapist next year to supervisethe activities and broaden theofferings.

Graham and Thomas agreethat the handicapped personneeds to develop an awareness ofhis capabilities as a prerequisite

to normal social growth.Participation in physical activity,they say, gives the person achance to judge his abilities' toÊrow in ôxperiences, and toültimately find activities wherehe can succeed.A statewide system of

community college athletic com-petitions for wheelchair athletesis Thomas' goal. He points outthat FCC students already haveparticipated in national wheel- -chair games, special track eventsin meets such as the West CoastRelays, and wheelchair basket-ball leagues.

Wiedenhoefer says athleticprograms for handicapped stu-dents are "on the upswing" andthinks that while FCC is apioneer in the area forcommunity colleges, its pro-grams are still in the formativestage.

Stephens says he is proud tohave watched FCC's program"grow from nothing to some-thing," and he gives Thomassome of the credit.

"There is not an individualalive with more of a spirit and abetter attitude toward living," hesays.

All'wecther treick here?By Dan Waterhouse

Will there ever be anall-weather track for Fresnotrack and field competitors?

It is doubtful.Here in the Central Valley,

there are four lll-weathertracks-none in Fresno. Bakers-field and Porterviìle Colleges andLemoore and Corcoran HighSchools all have all-weatherovals.

Area coaches have occasionallytalked about re-surfacing theRatcliffe oval in years past, buthave never seriously discussedit-at least, up till this spring.

The entire state has beenbeset with unseasonal weather,including rain, hail, snow and anoccasional "twister." The springrains reduced the Fresno CityCollege track schedule to ashambles early in the season.

Having three meets in a rowrained out, one nèver ever held,inspired FCC ùrack mentorBobby Fries to investigate thepossibility of resurfacing theRatcliffe mud pond.

Ratcliffe is the best prospectfor spending what it would costfor resurfacing, due to the WestCoast Relays. There is disagree-ment over the advisability ofdoing away with the dirt surface,but local coaches are inagreement about the need for anall-weather surface.

"It hurts our program nothaving an all-weather track,"said coach Dutch Warmerdam of

CSUF. "We've had three meetswashed out in a row. We'lleventually have our ownall-weather track on campus.

"As for Ratcliffe, now ownedby FCC, nobody wanted to putthe money into it, that's whyeverything's in such a decrepitstate.

"But our campus track, oncewe get it, won't have enoughseating for the West CoastRelays or other big meets likeit," he said.

Fries said that widening theRatcliffe track to nine lanes onthe straightaway and nine on theoval are of priority concern.

Coach Frank Fletcher ofHoover High commented that "itwould be fantastic if Ratcliffe hadan all-weather track."

Bill Cockerham, of FresnoPacific College, also made thecomment that he would supportan all-weather track. "The citydefinitely needs one and it's ashame we don't have it,". he said.

Despite the advantages of anall-weather track, there are somewho say that resurfacing theRatcliffe oval would destroy thelVest Coast Relays as the meet"where records are broken."

[e Ratcliffe track has thereputation of being an extremelyfast dirt track. Many a record hasbeen broken and many anOlympic hopeful has competed onthat oval.

Some feel that an all-weather

surface would slow the track,thus preventing new recordsfrom being set any more.

While straight editorial com-ment is not normally appropriatefor this column, I as sports editorwould like to express my ownvlews:

While the history of the WestCoast Relays has been basedupon the dirt surface of Ratcliffe,I cannot see any reason why theWest Coast Relays can't continueproducing top marks on anall-weather track.

Of course, the question ofeconomics will be raised bycritics of this proposal. Trackcoaches who are aware of theadvantages of all-weather surfac-ing will say that-the only expenseis the initial cost: themaintenance cost is hil over aspan of many years.

Since the State CenterCommunity College District sawfit to purchase Ratcliffe Stadiumlast year, and plans an extensiveremodeling of the entire facilityto bring it up to standard, it, iswithin reason to include theresurfacing of the track in thatproject.

The boy who was onceinterested only in art in school,now is an artist who paints big.His name is Manuel Ramos; he isnow a muralist.

"I was interested in muralsbecause I didn't like to Paintsmall, I liked to paint big,"Ramos said.

Ramos, an FCC.art major, willbe featured in the Cinco de MaYocelebration in an art show todaY,from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in theFree Speech Area. His muralmay be continued tomorrow atthe same time i[ he doesn't finishby noon today.

"I am excited about mY Cincode Mayo mural because I am notsure what'I am going to Paint,yet I know someühing creative isgoing to appear," Ramosremarked.

Webster's New World Dic-tionary defines a mural as anespecially large picture painteddirectly on a wall or ceiling or ona canvas attached to a .wall.Ramos estimates he has paintedat least 15 murals. His muralsreflect Mexican culture.

The 22-year-old man now hasone of his murals, whieh he calls"The Rape," at EI Conciero deFresno. 7n "P" St. This muraltook him two days to complete.

"I feel thai hardly anyoneunderstands what that muralmeans," he said. the mural is apicture of an eagle with a longsnake in its mouth about to landon some napales (cactus) to"rape" thè snake, or devour it,

"The Rape," Bamos saysrellects Mexícan history. TheAztees saw this eagle about toeat this snake as a picture ofthemselves. The Aztecs, Ramossays, felt like they were theeagles, because they ate snakestoo.

"People frown upon eatingsnakes today, but then, it wasfood to them," Ramos said."There was no diseases then, liketuberculosis and cancer, it wasnot until the white man came andehanged their way of. life thatthese diseases came."

There is a sickness increasing-ly pervading the human psych--ewhich no doubt will play animportant cause-effect role in theinevitable downfall and destruc-tion of "civilization" as we knowit today.
