Eye lleallh llewsBy Ih.H¡rold C. Siv¡e O.D.

DEAR DR. SIVAS:I have been wearing (hard) contact lenses for the past I

months. I am not having any problems with my lenses fordistant viewing but they are considerably uncomfortable whilereading. Is this to be expected? -Miss M.

COMMENT:A properly fitted contact lens should supply both good vision

and comfort ¿t distance as well as near. Discomfort with contactlens while reading may be assoei¿ted with many possiblefactors cãusing the problem. Moreoften, however, aninadequate tear exchange while reading is associated withdiscomfort. When one reàds, the gaze is lowered with anaccompanying drop in the position of the superirir lid. The lidnow covers a larger then normal area of lens and is exertinggreater force on the lens surface. The combined effect of thelenslid relationship during reading is a less effieient lens pump.A possible correction to such a problem may be accomplishedby reducing the total diameter of the lens. Nevertheless, otherlens modifications may be inorder to correct reading discomfortwith (hard) cont¿ct lenses.

I Had Everyfhing Exe epf ..,

I was 19. I had everything I wanted: a good family, my owncar; friends, a good job and even ggod grades in school. Itlooked as though everything was goinginy way. There was onlyone big problem: I was miserable. I thought there surely has tobe more to life than this, and I wanted to find out what it was.

Shortly thereafter, my sister started spending t:me withsome new friends she met. The more she was with them thehappier she became. She tried to tell me about them but I wouldnot listen. I knew that these friends of hers were.Christi¿ns andI thought I knew all about Christians. I had been going tochurch ever since I was little, and I was tired of people whoacted self-righteous on Sunday and lived like the Devil the restof the time. I thought to myself, this Jesus thing will not last.Nevertheless, my sister sure seemed to be happy.

I decided to go meet these people to find out what was sodifferent about ihem. When I met them they told me that oncethey had been just like me, but now Jesus was li ring in them

just seemed too simple to me. Yet, I could tell what thesepeople were experiencing was real to them. I knew if I did nottry it I would never find out for myself. Furthermore, I wasdesperate. Eventually, I called "Lord Jesus," and ever si¡cethat moment, Iove, happiness, joy, peace and ¡est have becomereal to me. Now Jesus lives in me and every day I love Himmore than I did the day before.

According to a 3,129-pagepress release by the PublicIndoctrination Office, the sculp-ture took a total of two years tocomplete, and six months toexecute. Once life was restoredto the dead sculpture, it owas

In a similar action, ASBP¡esident Sooze Marvine askedHoople where the statue wouldbe displayed. After an immediatemotion and seeond, the Senatevoted unanimously to pass a

Wright, Rqmsret¡re Giqnts

Though they couldn't beaccused of making the most oftheir opportunities, the baseballteam rolled over COS 5-0Tuesday in Visalia.

The Rams, now 5-0 inconference and 11-6 overall, willhost COS Saturday and Modestoon Tuesday.

Mickey Wright's four-hit pitch-ing made up for the Rams' lack ofclutch hitting. FCC stranded l5men on base.

Coach Len Bourdet said "IVeplayed tight defense and Mickeypitched a great game but ourhitting could have been better."

Wright retired 13 of the last 14men he faced and was helped bythree double plays. He wasnamed McDonald's defensiveplayer of the game. MikeRichardt earned offensive honorswith three hits.

The Rams broke a scoieless tiein the sixth inning when RandyWard singled, went to third on afielder's choice and scored on aKevin Hirayama single.

Earlier in the inning, JeffUlrich doubled but was thrownout at the plate trying to score ona passed ball. "We found outafter the game Jeffs hit should

have been called a home run,"Bourdet said.

The Rams added a run in theseventh on a Richardt triple andan Ulrich single and another inthe eighth on a Dave Meiersingle and a Richardt double.

Wright got some breathingroom in the ninth when FCCtallied twice, on a Dave Morganwalk, a Scott Giampietro triple'and a Greg Seib double.

The Rams are two games up onthei¡ closest conference foe andhope to add to their lead whenMike Wright goes to the moundon Saturdav.

Prop" l3 couldhurt FCC sports

By Dave Coulson

ln arguments against Prop. 13 (the Jarvis-Gann initiative)people have talked about how it would hurt public services andeducation. But did you know it could put a strangle hold oncollege sports also?

FCC athletic director Hans Wiedenhoefer said, "If it passesthe school budget would be cut by 25 per cent; so it's safe to sayour sports budget would have to be cut."

The effects are alreariy being felt by three coaches who havereceived notice they may not be rehired if it passes.

When you start cutting things like sports, you areeliminating the livelihood of many students who wouldn't be inschool if they didn't have sports to participate in.

And with fewer students enrolled, the college would be losingeven more of the revenue it.previously had. As you see, it's avicious cycle that could severely hamper the community.

Sure, Prop. 13 would bring property tax relief, buù at whatexpense? The coaches are divided on what to do about theproblems that passage of this initiative would create.

Football coach Clare Slaughter said, "I don't think theyshould cut back a sport that produces revenue (such asfootball), but from the ones that don't bring back any."

Wiedenhoefer remarked, "We don't like to think of our sportsas being major or minor, and we'll try to save as much of eachprogram as possible."

Another thing that will happen if Prop. 13 passes is thatsports that are still on the drawing board, such as women'ssoftball and men's volleyball, will be shelved.

Another plan, according to Wiedenhoefer, would be to placesome of the expense on the shoulders of the athletes. "Somesports, once they are started, are maintained by the athlete."

Some of these sports include tennis, golf and swimming. Butwhat is an athletti supposed to do if his or her sport issomething like football or baseball, where the expenses arequite heavyJ

One good answer to all these problems would be to forgetabout them before they occur by defeating Prop. 13.

City College plays Sacramentoat 2 p.m. on Saturday inSacramento.

The Ram swimming team willhost Sac City tomorrow in a keymeet in the Valley Conference.

Coach Gene Stephens ob-served, "It should bè a close meetfor us. On paper Sac is a betterteam because of their strength inthe backstroke and the bútter-flv."

FCC's chances rest on EricGordon, who has set five schoolrecords already this year. Erlc, agraduate of Hoover High, has set

records in the 100 and 200freestyle, the 500 and 1000freestyle, and the 100 breast-stroke.

Dave Meier

Richurdt, lleier form strong double play comboBy Dave Coulson

Traditionally great baseballteams havé had strong doubleplay combinations. This year'sRam squad is no exception.

Second baseman MikeRichardt and shortstop DaveMeier give the Rams strengthdown the middle and theirtalents haven't gone unnoticed.

Richardt, a sophomore whowent to Hoover, was the ZTthplayer chosen in the 1977 winterfree-agent draft. He plans to signwith the Toronto Blue Jays, theteam that picked him, after thesemester ends.

Says Richardt, "I just want topay pro ball, I don't care who for.

Angels claimed him last summerafter he graduated from Bullard.

But when he didn't sign nebecame eligtble for last winter'sdraft and was taken by the St.Louis Cardinals in the thirdround. Ram fans need not worryhowever, because Meier plans tostay at FCC awhile.

__ "Playing pro ball is something

I've wanted to do for a longtime," stated Meier. "But I'm noiready to sign yet."

Meier was shortstop for theBullard team that won the HighSchool Valley Baseball Cham-pionship last season, but he stillexpected to have a tough timeplaying college ball.

"I thought it would be harderto play in college," said Meier,"but I'm more confident of myselfnow,"' Richardt, hasn't always been anoticed player. "When I was injunior high I got cut from theteam, but I kept on trying."

Both players have had toovercome obstacles despite theirabilities. For Meier it was a lackof size while Richardt has hadattitude problems in the past.

Meier remarked "Until the lastcouple of years I was alwayssmall."

Richardt stated "I have towatch my attitude to make sure Idon't get down on myself."

This season has been a bigturnaround for Richardt. An arminjury last season forced him tomove from the infield to theoutfield.

But his arm is fine this seasonand the Rams are improvedbecause of it. But there arè otherreasons for the team's improve.ment, according to Richardt.

"Last year we had players whowere more eoncerned withthemselves than with the team,"he said. "This season we'reolaying together," he added.

Meier has similar feelings"This team has real goòd depth,'he said- "If we have ourconfidence we ean beat any-body."

ilen netters host poir

The tennis team will host, twoSacramento teams this nextweek. Thursday the Rams willhost Cosumnes River and onFriday they will entertain astrong team from San JoaquinDelta.

Coach Bill lVayte feels the onebig advantage the Rams willhave is they probably won't be

playing in the windy weatherthey were up against when theyplayed these teams previously-

"Cosumnes will not be that,tough but San Joaquin wilt be ¿tough match for us," he said.Team memberJohn Haug added,"We should thrash Cosurñnes buithe Delta match should be prettyeven."
