Discóunting the release time theory, the squad feels theY are victims of the administration. "The squad is very upset and it is affecting our performance.

"A great way of life,'" a phrasefrom the United States.Áir ForceAcademy, involves an importantpart of FCC businèss instructorJoseph Young's life.

Young, who teaches Introduc-tion to Business and RefresherMath, was honored as the"Outstanding Liaison Officer forCentral California" at the annualAir Force Association Honorsnight recently at the HiltonHotel.

He represents the Air ForceAcademy as a liaison officer. Theliaison officer acts as a liaisonbetween the Air Force Academyand any students who areinterested in becoming cadets atthe academy. He served threeyears in the Air Force.

"The Air Force Academyprovides an outstanding oppor-tunity for one of the besteducations available," saidYoung. "Cadet George llurley,who is currently in his junioryéar at the academy, attendedone year at FCC."

To become a cadet one must (1)meet eligibility requirements, (2)obtain a nomination, (3) meetacademic and leadership qualifi-cations, (4) meet medical andphysical qualifications, and (5) be

To Tom Wright, ArthurMiller's "The Crucible" is astimely today as it was whenwritten more than 20 years agoor when it supposedly took placealmost 300 years ago.

"We've got witch hunts goingon right now," Wright says, "theonly difference is the hunlers andthe hunted have changed."

Wright will direct FCC's fallproduction of "The Qrucible," tobe staged in the Theatre Nov. 11,12,13,18, 19 and 20.

The play is a historical dramaof the Salem witch hunts of thelate 17th century but waswritten in the early 1950s whenanother type of "witch hunt" wasunderway, the Army-McCarthyhearings.

Tickets will be availablebeginning Nov. 1 at the Theatrebox office for $1.50 generaladmission, free to FCC studentsand 75 cents to all otherstudents. The box office will beopen weekdays from l0 a.m. to 4p.m. through the run of theproduction and hom ? p.m. theevenings the play is presented.

The play tells the story of aman, John Proctor, who isaccused of being possessed bythe devil Because of the mood inthe community, the accused arepresumed guilty and Proctor, aman who has sinned but neverbeen possessed by spirits(whether a witch's or God's), isforced to "confess" or die.

"This guilt by accusation thingis around us all the time," Wrightsays. "Look at the political scenetoday, One politicían accusesanother one of something andexpects everyone to take it forgranted that the accusation istrue.

"There's one line in the play ofProctor's that really puts it well,'Is the accuser always holy now?Were they born this morning asclean as God's fingers?"'

The play, above and beyondeverything else, is a suspenseful,.

"spooky" drama, says Wright."It's really too bad it's nol.

bcing played on Halloween nightbecause it would be perfect. Notbecause of ghosts but because oflhe fear of the unknown in theplay"'

As one critic wrote, "It isimaginative terror Mr. Miller ishere invoking; not the solidgallows and the rope appall him,but the closed suffocating worldol the fanatic, against, which theintellect and will are powerless."

"I've seen audiences gasp andsigh in despair during certainscenes of this play," Wright says.

The play marks the firstfull-lenth production thatWright, the head of the theatrearts department on campus, hasdirected at FCC since coming tothe college from Fresno High in1965. He directed the play whenhe taught at the high school andit has long been one of hisfavorite works.

The play revolves on the plightof a community struck by thefear of the unknown-witchesand the devil-generated by theGod-fearing community leaderswho use their influence, powerand trust of the people to llushout the "guilty" at any cost.

"This reign of fear and terrorbecomes a test of character,"lVright says, for both theaccused and accusers. By show-ing how various people meet thesituation, Miller is able to drawparallels with the experience heand his colleagues had undergoneduring the McCarthy era when,instead of witches, CommunistSand Communist-sympathizerswere being hunted.

"The play comes around everyfive or six years with a renewedsense of interest. It will never bedated because it's so far in thepast yet so much in the present."

"It took the Italians to inventthe ¡nandolin, but it took theJapanese to teach them how toPlaY it"' quipped Dr. Rocci G.Pisano of San Jose Universitv.With that, he introduced theKeio University Mandolin Or-chestra from Tokyo, Japan.

Directed by Professor TadashiHattori, the Keio orchestra istouring in the United States forthe fourth time since 1963, thistime in honor of our nation'sbicentennial. The concert waspresented Wednesday, Nov. 4, inthe Auditorium.

The American national anthemkicked off the program, followedby that of Japan. The concertwas divided into three parts, thefirst including selections fromRossini's "Barber of Sevilla"Overture and Lonberg's "Stu-dent Prince."

Part two consisted of Japanesemusic, and offered two specialattractions. The first was MidoriFujita, a mezzo soprano whosang in both Japanese andEnglish. The second, SumiEguchi, was introduced as "theOrient's most famous Kotoplayer." Both performers ap-peared in Japanese kimonos,highlighting the distinctly Orien-tal mood set by the music.

Part three was made up of

American folk tunes as they haveprobably never been donebefore. Such familiar songs as"My Old Kentucky Home'i and"Yellow Rose of Texas" arerarely heard through the uniquetones of the mandolin.

received. Special attention wasfocused on the koto and MissEguchi's. skill at playing theunusual tnstrument.

After the concert, the musi-.cians set about packing theirequipment while accepting com-pliments from their hoit fimilies.Professor Tadashi took time outto talk a little about theorchestra.

In halting English, the distin-guished conductor explained thatthe mandolin is very popular inJapan. "All colleges have amandolin orchestra," he said,adding that the Keio orchestra isthe oldest and largest.

The professor also expressedhis happiness at being able toperform in the United States.When asked if he plans to returnin the future, he smiled andreplied, "I hope so. We'd likevery much to come back."

The Rams' victory over Sac-ramento, 37-14, which uppedFresno's season and leaguerecords to 6-2 and 4-1, was notplayed in the kind of atmospherethat produces excitement. About18,800 of Hughes Stadium's19,000 seats were unfilled, thefield was in terrible condition,and the weather unseasonablvhot.

quarterback Robert Ambersignited Fresno to a .2$ointexplosion before interm¡ssron.

Richard Phillips' t,hree-yardscoring run and Steve Mobley's33-yard field goaì gave Fresno a10-point advantage, but then thefireworks started.

Ambers connected with tightend Donnie Glenn on a l3-yardTD pass with 56 seconds to go

and the Rams looked as if they'dtake a 17-0 lead to the dressingroom. But on the fir'st play afterthe ensuing kickoff, Sac City'sspeedy T. D. Lawson broke freeand scooted 44 yards to scorewith 32 seconds left.

But then Ambers went right towork again and connected withTimmy Johnson, who made aspectacular one-handed grab atthe Panther 42. Moments later,Ambers sent Johnson on a llypattern down the right sidelineand found the fleet-footed sopho-more in the end zone behind twoSac defenders with two secondsto go.

The Panthers stunned Fresnoshortly after hatitime whenrunning back Leonard Smithfollowed great blocking into theRam secondary and streaked 68yards to cut the lead to 10.

Steve Mobley, who has notmissed a field goal in eightattempts this season, bootedthird quarter field goals of42 and26 yards to put the Rams safetyin front.

Ambers added the finishing

The Panthers, whose groundgame netted 234 yards, gave upin a hurry on trying to throwagainst Fresno's sensationalsecondary. In all, Sac Cityquarterbacks completed two ofseven passes for 12 yards andhad three picked off.

' "We figured that we'd besluggish and we tvere," com-mented Slaughter. "I thoughtSacramento was a pretty goodfootball team and I don't feel itsrecord is a very good indicationof its strength. (Sac head coachLowell) Herbert was real pleasedwith the way his team played andI thought he had reason to be. Itwas a good win for us."

Soccer feom bqttles for second leogue títleDespite a series of setbacks,

coach Bill Neal's soccer team isstill on its way to its secondconsecutive Central CaliforniaCommunity College Conferencechampicinship.

In only his second year ascoach for FCC soccer, Neal hasguided his teams to 12 wins,against seven losses and threeties. After ìosing their first 3non-conference games this year,Fresno has come back withimpressive wins over Modesto9-0 and 9-1, Paciiic College 6-2,and the Fresno State Soccer Club3-2. The Rams are 4-4-2 for theseason.

Neal stated, "We had a largenumber of soccer players lastyear, but only a few at the startof this year. Five outstandingathletes, who went throughregistration and who receivedathletic benefits, never came out.This really hurt the team. Wewould undoubtedly be unde-feated if they come out."

This year's team is in arebuilding process. Of the l5players currently on the roster,only one, goalie Rick Monroe, is asophomore. He prepped atBullard.

Fresno's offense is led byinside forward Hratch Soghomo-nian. The frosh from HooverHigh leads Ram scorers with l5goals. Another scoring threat isfreshman Simon Gruchy fromBullard. Gruchy has kicked 10goals this season at his insideforward spot.

Left wing Henry Paddelfordout of Menlo Park is probablyFresno's best defenseman. He isquick, aggressive and a goodteam player.

Other top defensive perform-ers are Dave Telfer, an outsideforward from Bullard, and JoseGarza, who Neal feels, is "verytough."

The Rams boast a handful ofpromising defensive backs inKirk Nelson, out of Bullard andalso th, year's tean-r captain. TimGaston, another Bu_llard product,is tough and hard tô move out ofhis position. Halfback Mike Vick,

ASB foces ' Burnl Oiieringsr' mocqbreslow deoth movie, leqves Yie wer'burni'

By Mark Her¡¡ndez

When it becomes apparent that catastrophie has beenpreprogrammed in any situation, the situation ean often

runs through my mind when f noteement in the ASB Senate that, due to

deception ¿nd l¿ek ofcooperation, the Associated Student Bodymay not exist much longer past four or five years.

our school administration?-As far as I have been able to ascertain, the actions were

to process any ASB checkfrom FCC President Clycehe did finally send his answernts on ASB checks"), the ASB

did begin to process all standing check requests.

But the fact that a trusted campus administrator like Dr.McCully then i,urns on a promise to negotiate terms of checksignatures and supports a measure of such import as cuttingASB funding in half, is clearly opposed to the ethics of the officethat he holds. Again, it is clear and evident that attempts todestroy ASB seem to be a byword here on our campus.

(As an interesting sidelight, Reedley College has been forcedto exist under the same deplorable conditions we do, and they'- are not too happy with us, both our ASB and our- administration.)

With the impending dóom approaching, it is evident thatcontinge¡cy funding is necessary, but, alas, that will onlyprolong the agony. For if the $1.50 charge on ASB cards ismade, the ASB can only keep from touching its reserveaceounts for a year at most. Then, cutting into its accounùs eachsemester, the (approximate) $40,000 will disappear in twoyears, then the operating budget of ASB will go next withintwo more years.

Minimum time: Four Years. Maximum time: Eight years.' Unless there is a re-evaluation of the reasoning behind the

District funding ùakeover and why it was propÖsed, it is mycontention that the Board of Trustees was indeed misled in itsconsideration of cocurricular funding.

This misleading also has caused a significant disaster to befallboth this ASB and future Student Bodies, since funding willchew itself inside out, until ASB no longer exists as an entityoperating independent, of the Board (that is, the Board does notsit in and watch everything, though they have final say on allthings).

Is this rqhat the Board or the FCC administration is strivingfor? Their own control of students? The ability to say whatstudents will do and when, with no representation of them aü

administrative levels? I feel it is necessary to point out a simplematter that persons holding office often forget: Remember,Students arè voters, too. Start pushing them around, and theypush push them again, :A is in full operation at theFCC der, who will be hurt? Theadministration, the students, or the Board of Trustees? I thinkeveryone should keep this in mind when this $1.50 rate comesup for approval.

In "Burnt Offerings," a familyrents a summer home in thecountry, and embarks on avacation that woudl make thelast night on the Titanic seemlike a pleasure cruise. The film,starring Oliver Reed, KarenBlaek, Bette Davis, BurgessMeredith and Eileen Heckart, isnow at the UA Movies-4.

The setting was so serene, andthe house, a Victorian mansion,was ideal. So Ben (Reed) andMarian (Black) decided that asummer in the country was justwhat they and their son DaveY(Lee H. Montgomery) needed.

The price was also right, justas the ad said, it was "veryreasonable." Ben wondered whythe rate seemed too good to betrue, so he asked what the catchwas. The owners, a brother andsister (Meredith and Heckart),conceded that there was onecatch-their mother came withthe rental. They explained that.mom would be no trouble, all shewould require was that he¡ mealsbe left on a tray in her sittingroom.

When the family arrived bagand baggage for their stay theybrought with them Ben's AuntElizabeth (Bette Davis). Theirvacation started off fine; AuntElizabeth painted as Ben andDavey explored the area. Con-spicuous in her absence from the

ASB COLUMN

family's activities ,was Marian,who had taken to,lingering inmom's sitting room, after shedelivered the meals.

Ben soon began to act oddlyalso. He beeame plagued bynightmares, and the daytimebrought no relief as each daybecame clouded by frequenthallucinations

Never mind that the clocksthat had never run suddenlybegan to chime simultaneously,or that doors closed and lockedby themselves. Even the poolcame to life with swells thatnearly drowned the boy. Asidefrom this, nothing out of theordinary ever happened.

By now, Marian had becomeunexplicably enchanted with thehouse, and had even begun todress in Victorian attire. AuntElizabeth had been transformedfrom a vibrant outgoing person,into a meek recluse, only the boyremained unaffected. Ben thenrealized that they were not thesame family that came to spend arestful summer in the country.He told Marian that they mustleave the house, but she refusedto even discuss the matter.

About this time the viewer hasa few questions in mind. Why iseveryone acting so strangely,and why don't they leave themansion? Not a single explana-

tion is given.the most horrifying elements

of the film are not the fiendishhappenings, but rather the soundtrack and the editing. It is almostas if the film makers knew thatsome scenes intended to terrifythe viewer would probabty nóùwork. To artificially build thetension, a resounding soundtrack was supplied to let youknow when you were supposedto clutch the side of your chair infear. In spite of this handy hintsuch scenes were a disappoint-ment.

The editing was anothermystery. Either some sceneswere never shot in their entiretyor portions thereof were poorlyedited. The result was confusing,and laeked cohesion.

The film, shot totally onlocation at the Dunsmuir Housein Oakland's Hellman Park, is aweary tale with few surprises.Even a fine cast is not enough tosave the film from its numerousflaws. Reed spends most of histime on the screen murmuring,and shaking with his handscupped to his faee. Black mighthave fared better had she donethe same.

The meaning of the title"Burnt Offerings" remains ob-scure throughout the film. Onething is elear, however. The filmis a burn, without much to offer.

There's a place on campuswhere a small portion of thestudents find a real relaxingal.mosphere. This place containssome sort of entertainment foreverybody. The plaee which isfinancially supported by ASBmoney is being used wisely bystudents. Students who do usethe room have a ehoice of seeingTV or shooting a game of pool. Ifyou just like to sit andeoncentrate on a serious game,there is chess and checkers andothers. But if you like someaction and excitement you can

grab a ping pong paddle and headtowards the arena with yourpartner, and for the one who digson making noise there is afine-tuned piano for the pianist.I[ you're tired and worn to thebone and need a place for yourbrain to rest and it seems thatyour whole morning has been amesis you can just close thosetomoto-red eyes and just dreamthe rest of the day.

In the near future thisdeserted island will go undersurgery and the results will beyour paradise or dream worldthat many explorers wereseeking for. The first openingwill be to make it sound proof sothat your ears won't be tornapart by the TV and stereo. then

they will add a soda andsandwich machine for.the oneswho are on a diet. For the veryexotic, skilled person who lives inthe hands of danger from day today, a pinball machine will beyour challenge. You're probablythinking, how about man-vs.-man.'WelI, if you enjoy brutality,blood and the sound of bonesbeing broken, air hockey is forihat kind of man.

Now I must warn you that thisdream world is protected by avery bea¡rtiful angel called SylviaHarris who closes the door onscavengers who are not StudentBody card holders. So if you wishto enter this forgotten paradise,purchase a pass and foot it to theStudent Lounge.

Let's dump Electorol Collegefrom page 2known to students of history asthe "Stolen Election"; and againin 1888, when Grover Cleveland,who should have won with 48.6per cent of the votes, lost in theelectoral landslide to BenjaminHarrison, with 47.9 per cent.

Three times such negations ofthe popular will have actuallyhappened, but ll times it almosthappened. These overturns weremade possible bècause in nearlytwqùhirds of the states there isno penalt¡1 for switching votes:there are no "binding laws" inthese states. Conceivably, if amere three electors swltch theirvotes from Carter to Ford-oranybody else, for that matter-the Electoral College will have

failed to "rubber stamp" lastTuesday:s results, and throw theelection to the House ofRepresentatives. The disadvan-tages of this happening wouldtake three more columns toexplain, so I will spare you.Suffice it to say that the worstpossible alternative would be forthe eleetion to go to the House.

Last week in the Rampage,Mark Hernandez commentedthat if a candidate is "found tohave been committing illegalacts" the Electoral College can"protect the people" and switchtheir votes. However, I remindMr. Hernandezthat the ElectoralCollege failed to protect us froma famous former President, who

shall remain nameless, but withinitials "îD" (for "TrickieDickie"). Without the ElectoralCollege, if some irregularity isfound, Congress can alwaysdeclare an election nullified, or,as a last resort, impeach thePresident.

Mr. Hernandez stated that helikes this system "the way it is,"and will just "let it slide." As forme, I believe the ElectoralCollege, which is a product of theAmerican political system whenonly male, white, adult,property-owners were allowedto vote, should be eut loose as a¡eall things that are sheer deadweight.
