District lo Vote On COC Bonds
The Board of Trustees has . given the green light to COC administrators to take steps to hold a district bond election on Feb. 6, 1973.
Success ofthis local election, coupled with approval of a statewide community ;;college ri' construction bond act in the Nov. 7 general election, will assure steady progress of COC 's permanent building program.
Failure could stall COC's growth for an indefinite period of time.
It is expected that local voters will be asked to approve $8 million in bonds next February, although the exact amount remains under study.
Part of this money, an estimated $2.6 million, will be used to match $11.2 million in state support funds due COC if the Nov. 7 act is approved.

The local bonds also will provide $4. 7 million required to construct projects on campus which are not eligible for state funds such as parking lots, portions of the student center, and a bookstore, for example.
The remainder of the $8 million will go into a contingency reserve building fund.
Only a majority vote is required to pass the state bond act, but a two-third majority is necessary to win the local bond election.

The local bond election, if successful, will not raise property taxes, currently pegged at 20 cents per hundred dollars of assessed evaluation, according to proponents.
Part of this current district
tax levy is paying for lease of
COC 's first group rap sessions to discuss inter-personal relations will meet at 12 noon Friday, Oct. 6, in the Board Room.
The weekly meetings have been organized by Mrs. Nancy Smith, counselor.
The group counseling sessions provide a place for students to find people who care and who listen and where they can listen to opinions and . problems of others.
If you can't make the Friday noon meetings but wish to, come in and talk it over with Mrs. Smith.
temporary buildings on the cam
pus.
With passage of the bonds, the property tax rate will remain virtually the same, but the taxes will be paying for permanent facilities.
The $11.2 million the district will receive from the state if the November election is successful will come from corporate, sales, income, tobacco, anq al

STUDENTS VIE

FOR OFFICES
Only two of six student government offices will be contested in campus elections set for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Oct. 4-5-6..
Peter Berson and Chip Chavez will battle it out for Freshman class president, and Julie Bedford and Chuck Cesena are competing for the office of night senator-at-large.
Donna Cooksey is running unopposed for Sophomore class president : ; Tom Zwart for AMS representative; Cheryl Me ramble for AWS representative I and Rick Signoretti for day senator-at-large.
The two senator-at-large posts are new, having been created by the new Associated Student Body (ASE) constitution ratified last year.
Competing candidates are currently conducting their campaigns. Several polling booths will be stationed in the area and will be open on Wednesday from
5:30 to. 9 p.m., on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 :30 to 9 p.m., and on Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
All ASE card holders are eligible to vote. Dale Hight, election commit-tee chairman, hoped and planned for a large student turnout.
"We set an enviable voting record on this campus last year," he said. "The voter turnout here was about 30 per cent of enrollment. This can be compared to a 7 per cent turnout at a San Fernando Valley State University and a 3 per cent turnout at Los Angeles Valley College."
Assisting Hight on the election committee are Herb Barker, Ginni Bowen, Teresa Calzia, Henry Crowell, Debi Ellis, Jerry Ethridge, Ed Gallager, Margie Getman, Allan Hoeltje,Antoinette Johnson, Steve Knaggs, Marie 1=,ongpye, Neil McAuliffe, Jolene Moore, Kevin Shibuya, Larry bilva, Pat Smart, and Melinda Wood .
Students are urged to check with the Student Personnel office for details on the voluntary 24-hour insurance policy program .

Editorial

Beginning with the next issue, The Canyon Call will carry a continuing column titled "Catch 22."
What is Catch 22? It is exactly what it says it is-a catch. It is that small clause, beginning with "if",."but" or "however," found at the bottom of every contract. It is the type of clause in an agreement usually unseen by the naked eye yet easily visible with the assistance of an electron microscope.
One normally will stumble into this "catch" when dealing with the government. It is a builtin, legal, safety-valve which enables the government to come out on the winning side of any grievance.
As an example, I cite the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is a congressionally approved code of conduct detailing what shall be classified as improper behavior among military personnel. Among the improper acts defined in the various articles of the UCMJ are murder, rai,e, desertion, and that common cliche, AWOL (absent without leave).
Following a quick glance through the UCMJ, the average, unknowing GI thinks he has some safeguards against the whims of a congressionally appointed gentleman superior"out to get him."
However, a scrutinization of these "articles of justice" will reveal the GI's inevitable fate. Buried within the legal vernacular of the Uniform Code of Military Justice is a catch. It is entitled Artie le 134.
Defined in the terminology of the average American, Article
1.34 states that anything not defined as improper acts by the other articles of the UCMJ will fall as improper under this article. In other words. it is the "catch-all" which covers everything from expectorating on the street to polluting one's mess kit-in the judgement of the commanding officer, of course.
We hope we have given you some idea of what this new column will contain. Stories fitting the "Catch 22" format are welcome from disgruntled students who have witnessed or who have been victims of life's countless "catches."

Voters Face 21 Propositions
By Bill Leach

November 7 is election day. This year voters will not only be determining the next United States President but also state assemblymen,. county supervisors, district attorneys, and the fate of 21 state propositions and amendments.
Due to the tremendous number of propositionsand proposed laws this year, The Canyon Call staff has decided to present a brief description of each, including arguments for and against enactment.
For the ecology buffs on campus, the state will present three environmental proposals.
The first is an environmental

pollution bond authorization,
Proposition 3.
A vote in favor of Proposition 3 would authorize the sale of $200 million in revenue bonds for the construction and installation of pollution control facilities. These facilities would be leased or sold to individuals, associations, and corporations for their use in control of industrial and public wastes.
The second ecological proposition is No. 8. This is a state constitutional amendment which would grant the legislature authority to exempt from ad valorem taxation those facilities which remove, eliminate, reduce, orcontrol water, air, and noise pollu
tion to a level prescribed by state and local standards.
Proponents of this amendment contend that the control facilities are constructed for the public benefit to meet the public pol1ution level standards. These control facilities add little to the quality or quantity of a commercial product, therefore, businessmen should be granted a tax relief for such installations.
Opponents, however, state that this law would give tax breaks to businesses currently polluting the environment. Also, all other tax payers will be forced to make up the difference in revenue left by this "big business tax relief." They contend that the law is so broadly worded that it will be just another tax loophole for corporations.
The finale for the ecologists this year is the coastal zone conservation initiative which is on the ballot as Proposition 20.
A "YES" vote on this measure is a vote to create a California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission to regulate, through the issuance of permits, developments within portions of the coastal zone.
Other bond sale propositions include Proposition 1 and 2. Proposition 1 is for bonds to provide public community college facilities. A "YES" on this proposal would authorize the sale of state bonds up to $160 million. Proceeds from the sale would be

COMMITTEE POSTS FILLED
The Student Senate, beginning its campus government program for the 1972-73 school year, has made appointments to eight committees, announced Neil McAuliffe, president.
New committee chairmen are Tom Zwart, Bookstore; Dale Hight, Election; Wayne Nichols, Speakers; Rick Hoefel, Film, and Rick Signoretti, Concert.
In addition, Hight was named to Instruction, Signoretti to Instruction and Soci.al, and Zwart to Student Personnel.
Two campus problems are under study by the senate. One involves parking congestion in the Faculty and Staff lot caused by students, friends, and relatives who illegally park on the entrance road and in the lot.
The second pertains to the bookstore which has been the target for student complaints. Student suggestions, complaints, and solutions currently are being tabulated by the Bookstore committee. Meanwhile, the bookstore contract for the coming year has been approved by the committee.

"Mat,h-Maker" Ride Plan Set
A new "match-maker" program in which students with cars provide rides for students lacking transportation to school is under way at COC under guidance of the Student Activities office.
Students who need rides and students with cars willing to provide transportation are asked to fill out a questionnaire at the SA office, said Dr. Al Adelini, dean of student activities.
Drivers pick up students at specifically designated points along the route at set times.
"Transportation is a chronic problem for many cocstudents," said Dr. Adelini. "One student who lives in Northridge, for instance, is picking up COC students at the corner of Balboa and Rinaldi boulevards. Another in Saugus is picking up students at desig~ated times and places along the San Francisquito Canyon and Bouquet Canyon roads.
"The idea is to match willing drivers with students who need rides."
COC LOSES PEGGY
Mrs. Peggy Watkins, popular student activities secretary, has left her post to accompany her husband, William, to a new location in Santa Maria, CA.
Mrs. Watkins, who has served COC for two years, is leaving with "many regrets."
"I'll miss the students and the staff very much and most of all my boss, Dr. Al Adelini (dean of student activities). College of the Canyons is a great place."
Mrs. Nancy Henderson of Saugus will replace Mrs. Watkins.
"Higher education as we know it has almost vanished from com
munist China,1' said Dr. Elfi Hummel.foreign language instructor., who spent a month in the Peoples Republic of China last summer.
Dr. Hummel visited only one university"fit to be shown"
"The library was as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard except for numerous brochures of and by Mao tse-Tung," she reported. "University education lasts only three years and the student must spend one year and four months of that time working for the state in a factory, on a or on some other assigned task.
"In other words, since higher education was virtually abolished during the cultural revolution in 1967, university education is a 20-month deal."
Dr. Hummel was told that the "Purpose of the university is not to educate thoroughly but merely to instill into the student a desire to educate himself later when he is on the job, that is, a productive member of society."
Dr. Hummel, who visited China with a group of Austrian government officials at the invitation of the host country, pointed out, however, that everyone except the old can read and write.
"As many as 40 elementary schools may serve a single commune of 47,000 people" she said.
Dr. Humme1, an experienced
traveler who has been around the
world four times, visiting every
continent, is author of two travel
books, "Logbook of a World
Hike" and "Among Pirates and
Headhunters."

Her impressions are not the customary superficial tourist type.
"China is the best 'underdeveloped' country I have ever visited" she said. "There is no hunger. The condition of people attests to this.
"I was told there is little or no crime. I believe it. We frequently opened our money purses to rickshaw drivers who scrupulously extracted only what was due them."
Despite stories to the contrary, rickshaw drivers still exist in Red China, and manpower remains the basic energy.
"People still are useu to pull wagons and boats on the canals. Horses, mules, and oxen are seldom seen.
(Second article in thfo series will be published in the next issue of The Canyon Call.

Propositions -.
(Cont'd. from Page 2) used for building construction and for equipment and site acquisition needs of our state community colleges, including College of the Canyons.
Proposition 2 on the November ballot concerns the issuance of bonds to provide state health science facilities. A "YES" vote would authorize the sale of $155.9 million in state bonds to provide funds for construction and equipment for health science facilities at the University of California.
Proponents believe this bill will help provide the public with more doctors and thereby lower spiraling medical costs.
Opponents contend that the measure is too vague.

Seippel Talks About Teaching
By Robert Seippel
"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the na.a tural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards."
This quotation by Anatole France provides what I think to be a good starting point in the relationship between the instructor and the student.

The instructor who is keenly interested in his students may greatly influence attitude development. It may be said that we instructors are not counselors or psychologists but, whether we like it or not, our attitude toward the student has a profound effect on his attitude toward education and his future.
Traditionally, although not intentionally, much of classroom teaching has been directed toward memorization of rules, theories, formulas, and principles rather than attitude development.
Unfortunately, the demands of education overshadow attitude development and we find ourselves with too little time to really find out what key opens Joe's mind, so that we can fill it full of goodies.
Who in the world is Joe? He is the guy who comes late to class. He may also be the one who sleeps. I have seen more critical cases who actually fall asleep standing up. The talker is easily identified. What teacher has not been plagued with a verbalist? The quiet students may range from bright to poor. In either case, they are difficult to reach. The butter boy is hard
to cope with. Even the most
seasoned instructor finds him
self being swayed byhumbleness
or attentiveness. These are just
some of the overt types.
Others include the bully, the doodler, the joker, the one with dirty hands or dirty mind, the immature, the drinker, the sportsman, and the religious fanatic.
From this same heterogeneous
group come doctors and nurses,
politicians, ministers~ engineers,
lawyers, pilots.and theremainder
of the diversified field that pro
vides the leadership and deter
mines the future of our land.
Of course, the student body
also has a listing. We all fall
under one or several of the same
or similar categories. Some tea
cher idiosyncracies are not the
most desireable attributes. We
are all pinned with some term of
endearment that would cause con
cern to some and ego inflation to
others.
However, in most cases stu
dents let us down gently, and our
deficiencies are only reflected
in our reputations. Whether we
like it or not, thete is no ques
tion about the uncanny ability of
students to detect and measure
quality instruction.
We may deny that attitude de
velopment is our problem. We

COUGARS CITE TOP PLAYERS
By Mike Wins low

The Cougar football coaching staff--Head Coach Don Koppenburg. Larry Reisbig, Mike Gillespie. Chris Kincaid. John Mcclung, and Randy Whitsitt--this season is selecting a "Player of the Week' for offense and defense.
Cougars honored for t.he CalLutheran game are Jim Elford. linebacker. Larry Nunnally. offensive tackle .and Phil Perito. fullback.
Elford is a rugged 6'2'. 215 pound product of Canyon High School, who was picked particularly for his outstanding tackling and general all-around good play.
Nunnally. an all-city star from Savannah, GA., was cited for his offensive blocking. This husky 6'4." 250 pound battler also plays defensive tackle.
Perito was picked for his outstanding blocking and his inside running in the game. He is a graduate of Alemany High School and last season as a defensive end with the Cougars won honorable mention in the desert Conference.
The players will be honored at weekly meetings of the Cougar Quarterback Club whose president is Ed Wade.
The Cougars rolled over the

Cal-Lutheran Knights (frosh)
42-14. with six different players
scoring touchdowns.
Larry O'Brien scored one on a

20-yard run after a pitch-out.
Bill Downs returned a punt for
another. Ron Stewart intercepted
a CLC pa~s and a few plays
later Fernando Nunez took it in
for another TD.
Perito scored in the second

half after a strong drive. and
Wayne Foglesong, coc's All
state flanker. hauled in a 14
Ya rd pass from Quarterback
Geoff Brown. Earlier Foglesong
missed another score when his
touchdown was nullified by a
penalty.
Juan Campbell scored a final

touchdown on a oass by Brown
Theoretically. the Cougars,.

made up of freshmen and sopho
mores were playing the Cal
Lutheran freshmen team, a mis
match in favor of COC.
"That's not really the way it

was." said Kloppenburg. "Cal
Lutheran played five or six

tough sophomores who were in
there most of the game:'
Commenting on the game, Klop

penburg said:
"We're all pleased with the

performance of our running backs
Larry Oliver. Ron Jamerson, Per
ito, and Nunez. and outstanding
line play was turned in by Gary
Payne. Pete Piltz, and Nunnally."
Regular bus service is now available to all students living in the Newhall-Saugus-Valencia area. Buses stop in front of the campus on Valencia boulevard on an hourly basis. Bus schedules are located in the Student Personnel office.

Bonds
(Cont'd. from Page 1) cohol taxes collected all over the state.
Assuming both bond elections are successful, COC's start-ofconstruction schedule is as follows:
1--Bonelli Center (now under construction.) 2--Laboratory, Classroom, and Student buildings, April, 1973. 3--Site Development, Phase III, April, 1973. .
4-Mechanical Technology building and Physical Education Center (gymnasium and pool), Sept., 1973. 5--Athletic Field completion,

(Cont'd. from Page 3) may even avoid involvement outside the classroom. But whatever we do, we must come to the realization that the student is the sole product we manufacture.
He ~Y ise living proof of a job well done or the horrible image of a failure.

In the final analysis, it is not how much we know but how much learning we can transfer through the door of the student's mind that matters. If the door is open, the transfer becomes relatively easy. A closed mind is certainly an enigma; nothing ever goes in but odd things are forever coming out.
I am not sure that I can improve my professional capability. I am not certain that I can refine my attitude towards the student or do anything about his attitude towards education. But then again....... (Bob Seippel teaches electronics at coc.)
IRC IS RICH IN STUDENT AIDS
By Jan Keller

The Instructional Resource Center (IRC), under the direction of Joleen Bock, is located in Building R at the campus center. Students frequently Ask:
"Why Instructional Resource Center?Isn't 'library' sufficient?"
The IRC does contain a book collection, magazines, pamphlets, college catalogs--all the typical materials that make up a library. In addition, however , the IRC includes a record collection, tape recordings related to various subject areas, and provides a multitude of auxiliary audio-visual materials and services not found in the usual library.
The name "Instructional Resource Center" is more inclusive and implies regular library services as well as the availability of audio-visual services.
Statistics don't tell the whole story, but you might find some enlightening. The IRC contains:
19,265 books
763 records
24,458 microfiche
640 tape recordings
Last year 1,265 more books

were checked out than in 1970
71, and 861 more records were
circulated .
The nature of the IRC is by

no means completely defined by
numbers. Service to faculty and
students is the prime concern.
You'll find typewriters, adding
and c o p y m a c h i n e s i n t h e
IRC.
If you provide the empty cassette, the IRC will return copies of materials used in mathematics, music, foreign 1anguage, and shorthand classes.
If you don't have a recorder, you can check out one for overnight use. A professional librar~ ian is on duty every hour the IRC is open. The librarians and the library staff are anxious to help you find any information or material you need for term papers. class assignments, or just for your personal enjoyment.
In addition to the professional staff, there are library technical assistants, an audio-visual technician and student workers, all of them concerned that you find what you need when you need it. Please ask any of these people for any help.
You will notice that everything is rather crowded at the IRC. The requirements of students and faculty increase every year. By the time the Bonelli Center opens in the fall of 1973, the additional space will be a relief for the whole college and especially the IRC. The full potential of the IRC will be more fully realized at that time.
Included in the new facility will be reading , math and language laboratories, an audiotutorial center, and expanded center, and expanded services and facilities in all areas.

THE CANYON CALL

Vol. III, No. 3 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS Oct. 17, 1972

Six Students Elected
To Government Posts
In a lackluster election that was but a pale shadow of last spring's spirited student government campaigns, only 170 students cast ballots to elect six new officers, four of whom ran unopposed.
The new Sophomore president is Donna Cooksey who had no competition. The Freshman president is Peter Berson who was challenged for the post by Chip Chavez.
The only other contest was for the office of night senator-atlarge, with chuck Cesena winning over Julie Bedford.
others seated in non-competitive balloting were Tom Zwart, Associated Men Students representative; Cheryl Meramble, Associated Women Student representative, and Rick Signoretti, day senator-at-large.
Dr. Al Adelini, dean of student activities, noted that the turnout was "less than expected," and compared the 10 per cent student body participation in the balloting to last spring's 30 per cent.

ducted in connectionwiththe balloting, President Nixon easily won over Sen. McGovern 94-46. Others receiving votes were Dr. Spock, 3; George Wallace, 2, and
Shirley Chisolm, 1.
NOV. 7 VOTE VITAL TO COC
The statewide general election on Tuesday, Nov. 7, holds special significance for Co1Jege of the Canyons and for tax payers in the Santa Clarita Community College District,
Proposition No. 1 on the ballot is a statewide $160 million community college construction bond act.
If Californians approve the proposition, a big chunk of the $160 million--some 7 per cent or $11.2 mi11ion, in fact--will help constructCoJJege of the Canyons.
This constitutes a tremendous financial windfa11.
Passage means that citizens from all over California will be contributing to the construction of this college.
The burden on local taxpayers will be greatly reduced.
Statewide taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, horse racing, consumer sales, corporations, inheritances, and personal incomes will help pay for COC's perm
anent campus.
On the other hand, if Proposition 1 fails, local property taxes will constitute the only source of revenue for building community college facilities, thus increasing local tax loads.
It is not generaJly known that community coJJeges such as College of the Canyons constitute the largest group of institutions of higher education in the state.
More than 850,000 students attend community colleges in this state, a number more than twice the combined enrollment of the University of California and the California State University and Co11eges.
The community college enrollment, furthermore, is expected to surpass 1 million by 1975.
Many citizens are also unaware that the community co'llege offers by far the best educational bargain in the state. Community coJleges cost the taxpayers about $860 per student per year, compared with lower division costs of $1,800 and $1,259 .for

CATCH 22
By Bill Leach
Near the northeastern slope
of Sequoia National Park, at the
foot of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains. lies the rural California
community of Bridge port.
In the midst of the scrub
brush environment indigenous to
the area, the Bridgeport colony
of Paiute indians have made
their home for several years.
The Indians were, in fact,
living on land owned by one of
the local farmers. Recently. the
farmer decided to develop his
land and asked the Indians to
seek new quarters.
After weeks of searching, the
Indians finally selected a site

for their new homestead.
All they sought were 20 acres of brush-coveredwasteland owned by the federal government and used as part of the vast ecological buffer zone surrounding Se... quoia National park.
Realizi,ng it would be an uphill fight to obtain rights to the property. the Paiutes hired an aspiring young lawyer to represent them before various involved governmental bodies.
The lawyer wasted no time. He went first to the Bridgeport city council and quickly received overwhelming support for the Indians' cause. County officials, too, soon joined the bandwagon.
The news mediagave the story extensive coverage, after which CalJfornia Senators Cranston and Tunney be c am e the Indians' champion.
The time was now right for the Indians to present their pro

MORE "PROPS"

CAPSULIZED
Continuing capsulization of state propositions on the November ballot, The Canyon Call presents a brief description of four more.
For the students on campus concerned with veterans' affairs , the state proposes two constitutional amendments for ratification.
The first,Proposition 10,concerns tax exemption for blind veterans.
A favors.ble vote on this amendment would grant the legislature authority to exempt the homes of blind California veterans from property taxation to the amount of $10,000.
An estimated 300 California vets would qualify for the benefit.
Proposition 12, the other proposed amendment favoring the ex-G.I., is a bill to grant tax exemption for disabled veterans.
A "YES" vote on Proposition 12 would authorize the legislature to exempt from property taxation up to $10,000 of the value of disabled veterans' homes.
The financial impact of Proposition 12 is considered to be negligible because only an estimated 700 vets would be affected.
Many proposed laws which will be of concern to students interested in government and politics also will appear on the November ballot.
Proposition 7 is one of these

blem to the Department of the Interior. controller of the park land.
The department however, immediately presented the Indians with a "catch".
The department advised the Paiutes they could not receive the federal land because they were not bonafide Indians.
"What is a bonafide Indian?" the Paiutes' attorney asked.
The department replied that in order to become "bonafide" indians, the Paiutes must own federal land!
So, after months of struggle, the situ at ion had c o me to a screaming halt thanks to a cle

Bank Business

Is looking Up
By John Hunt
You'd never guess that Raydene Payne, a gorgeous honey blonde you may have eye-balled on campus, is a banker. Well, not exactly a banker.
But she is the only female student relations representative for the Bank of America in California. She works at the Newhall branch.
"We try to help students with their personal financial problems," she said.
Miss Payne okays student checks, helps arrange student loans, and serves as an adviser and consultant on student money matters. Her "territory" includes COC, Cal Arts, and Baptist college.
She won her job over 18 applicants after applying at coc's job placement office.
Robert Riggs, B of A's New
hall branch manager , said he
was "extremely satisfied" with
the way things have worked out.
"The colleges play an important role in this area and something had to be done to help students," he said. "Many students don't know how to balance an account or to write a check."
The bank leaves most decisions to Raydene. "Generally, I can do what I

think needs to be done---within reason, of course," she said.
Miss Payne, the banker, is on the job on campus here in front of the bookstore between 10 and

politically oriented legislative initiatives, covering elections and presidential primaries.
A "YES" vote on Proposition

7 will amend and revise portions
of the state constitution dealing
with qualifications for voting,
voter residence requirements,
primary elections, and conduct
of elections.
Its intent is to revise Article

II of the state constitution in or
der that it may coincide with
recent court decisions and fed

eral laws concerning voters.
The right to privacy is at stake in the constitutional amendment before the people as Proposition II.
A favorable vote on this would amend the c_onstitution to include the "right of privacy " among the inalienable rights of
the people Proponents contend that this amendment would place effec
tive restraints on the information gathering activities of the government and business as we 11 as
control the circulation of per- sonal information.
Opponents state that there is no point in adding the three words to an already over-burdened constitution.
Next week~--the controversial propositions.
Bedford Votes For Mr. Nixon
By J u I ie Bedford
For the first time in the history of our country we, as college students, have a voting voice in our government. President Nixon signed into law the bill giving 18-year-olds the right to vote.
It is important that we, as new voters, be aware of current issues and candidates as election day draws near.
Certainly one of the most talked-about issues is our involvement in Vietnam. The President has brought home over 400, 000 American servicemen, reduced American ground combat involvement by 90 percent, and will bring all of our forces home as soon as the enemy agrees to a cease fire and the safe return of our POWs. He has also overhauled the selective service system seeking the goal of an all-volunteer army.
In the area of foreign policy,
major break-throughs have been
achieved in this country's desire
for a lasting world peace. Presi
dent Nixon is the first American
president to visit China, holding
talks that were the first between
leaders of the two countries
since 1949.
He also visited Moscow this
year. These-historic visits should open doors leading to a better understanding and a lessening of tensions between the . major powers. Negotiations are underway to limit nuclear weapons. The Pr_esident believes in "cutting only the fat" from the budget, while maintaining the military forces necessary to
guarantee America's security.
Another issue that young
America is aware of and con
cerned about is our environment.
The President shares our con
cern and is doing something
about it. He has proposed 25
bills regarding our environment.
He has initiated plans and pro
grams that are working AGAINST
air, water, and noise pollution,
waste disposal, and radiation.
Proposals for 1973 will include
creation of a Department of Nat

ural Resources and Establish
ment of a land-use policy.
Young voters throughout the
United States possess the op
portunity to re-elect President Nixon for another term. As a young voter working for the reelection of the President, I urge you to look at the progress Mr. Nixon has made in the past four . years, both at home and abroad.
Let us remember the many
problems he inherited when he
took office and the continued
effarts being made to solve them.
Experience is vital in our con
tinued struggle toward peace both
within our country and peace
throughout thP world.
We need a man who is realis
tic about today's complicated

"Women's Lib" FI ouri shes In Red China Hummel
If you wish to pay the ultimate
compliment to a Chinese woman1
do not call her beautiful.
Say she is healthy, intelli
gent, and a good worker.
Dr. Elfi Hummel,foreign lang
u a g e i n s t r u c tor, who spent a
month touring Red China last
summer, also learned that wom
en's lib flourishes in this ancient
land.
"Operas,films,and plays por
tray woman as the driving force
of the revolution and the innova
tor of progressive thoughts," she
said.
But art is also a potent purge
usedby the government to "brain
wash" the people.
"Every village and school
emphasizes ballet, opera, chorus,
theater and music. Every star
artist must go into the country to
perform and to teach.
"All art forms glorify the
revolution. That seems to be
art's primary function in Red
China. The revolutionary mes
sage is everything. The authors
and composers remain anony
mous."
Dr. Hummel reports that con_sumer goods appear to be in ex,cellent supply in Mao Tse-tung's
China.
"Wherever we went we saw
shops filled with the essentials
of life, although we saw few
luxury items," she said.
A worker earns a minimum
basic pay of 70 yuan ($35 Amer
ican) a month, Dr. Hummel was
told.
"An apartment, plus all utili
ties, rents for 2 yuan a month,
theater tickets are 10 cents, bus
fares are ½ cent a ride, and a
worker's dinner (choice of eight
entrees) served in the factory
restaurant costs 15 cents," she
reported.
Top salaries in Red China go to artists and scientists who earn a maximum of 240 yaun a month. But all must work in a job and place selected by the government.
"The Chinese don't seem to mind. Morale appears excellent. They radiate great national pride and satisfaction in their accomplishments."
Women "retire" from regular jobs at 60 and men at 65 with state pensions.
"But retired people are required to remain 'productive' by serving as baby sitters and housekeepers for the families of their sons and daughters."
Although Chinese women stopped binding their feet in 1913, Dr. Hummel saw many hobbling in the streets as if on stilts.
Despite temporary breakdowns a few years ago, the family system remains the basic social unit of China as it has been for uncounted centuries.
"Formerly, every home contained an ancestor worship altar. Today, families keep photographs of recent ancestors on a large picture board. Instead of offering food (before the altar) the family now decorates the pictur e board w ith plastic flowers."

Lea,h Ba,ks Sen. M,Govern
By Bi II Leach
What is patriotism? One
school believes that since gov
ernment is great, the individual
should do all he can to serve it.
It also believes that the evils
in our society should not be
brought to the public's attention
because the good of this country
will ultimately outweigh the bad.
In other words, patriotism con
sists of absolute veneration for
the state; all Americans should
either love this country or leave
it.
Another school , however, con
tends that this government was
created by individuals to serve
individuals. rt believes that true
patriotism consists of seeing
the bad in this country for what
it really is and fighting to cor
rect it. In other words, to remain
silent in the face of policies be
lieved to be wrong is not only a
form of moral cowardice but also
a form of treas on to the nation.
One man with the guts to
speak out against the evils in
this society is Sen. George Mc
Govern.
Sen. McGovern is speaking
out on the economy. Under our
present program of Nixonomics,
unemployment has jumped from
3.5 per cent in 1968, to 6 per cent in 1972. This equates to five million people out of work.
Also, 40 per cent of the corporations paid no federal income tax at all last year. Workers and homeowners are forced to carry the burden of this country's finance. Furthermore, in the four years of Nixonomics, the dollar has dropped 14 cents in value and the national debt has increased $55 billion. The interest on this debt alone costs each American family $312 annually.
What will Sen. McGovern do? He will close tax loopholes for the corporations, forcing them to pay their fair share of the nation's finance, thereby lowering the amount of tax paid by the average American worker. According to U. S. News and World Report of Oct. 2, 1972, this plan would cut personal income taxes and increase total revenue by $22 billions.
Sen. McGovern is speaking out for the elderly. He proposes increased pension benefits, hospitalization care, and emergency services.
"If we can spend $24 billion to land a man on the moon, we have the resources to provide an income for our senior citizens," he said.
After all, this is the least we can do in this great nation for those who made it great .
George McGovern, the only presidentialcandidate who, since 1963, has consistently opposed

COUGARS PICK co~CAPT Al NS
By Mike Winslow

The Cougar grid co-captains for 1972 are Steve Pearson and Larry Nunnally. Both are tackles and both play on offense and defense.
Nunnally, an All-city, Allleague star at Tomkins High School in Savannah, GA. roams the pit at 6'4" and 245 pounds. His ambition is to play pro football.
Pearson, at 6'3" and 222 pounds, was an honorable mention pick in the Desert Conference last year. He's out of Pacific High School, San Leandro. Steve hopes to become a coach.
Cougars recently added to the "Player of the Week" list are Linebacker Jerry Slimak, .Center Bob Piltz, and Quarterback Geoff Brown for the Victor Valley game (62-18, Cougars), and Safety Bill Lankford and Offensive Guard Gary Payne for the rvtoorpark contest (42-27, Cougars).
The Cougars next game at

7:30 p.m. Saturday is with West Los Angeles college at Hart High field.
In the game against the Moorpark Raiders, the first contest in the new (for COC) Western State Conference, touchdowns were scored by Geoff Brown, Phil Perito, Larry Oliver, Juan Campbell, and Jim Elford, a big linebacker who ran a kick-off back 65 yards to score.
In this game, Jim Chavez kicked six straight extra points.
On the basis of his outstanding game against the Raiders, Br.owne arned the starting quarterback spot for last Saturday's Compton game.
"Our offensive pass protection and our defensive secondary are greatly improved," said Head Coach Don Kloppenburg.
The Cougars, still undefeated at press time, are climbing steadily instate rankings.COC's football team now ranks 11th (out of 60) among small colleges in California.

COC Will HOST 80 HARRIERS
COC will host its first annual Invitational Cross Country Meet Saturday (Oct. 21) with an estimated 80 harriers from 24 schools throughout the state competing. The gun goes off at 10:30 a.m.
Cougars will compete in the small school division reserved for colleges with an enrollment under 4,000.
Coach Ed Jacoby said COC 's top harrier, Jim Bonnell, could take first place if he runs a good race. Bonnell holds the record21 :10--for coc's standard cross country course.
Bonnell won the double dual meet at Santa Barbara last Friday in a time of 21:26. COC harriers as a team, however, lost to Santa Barbara 31-28 and to Moorpark 32-24. Howard Hockenberry, who finished 6th, ran his best race of the season. T wo Cougars suffered from the flu , one dropping out from the competition.
In addition to Bonnell and Hockenberry, the Cougar harrier squad includes Ed Marynowski, Frank Ramierez, Paul Brown, Craig Muller, and Kevin Rocque.
Other big meets scheduled here later in the fall are Western State Conference Championship, Nov. 10; the Southern California Championship Nov. 18, and the California State Finals Nov. 25.
"The Southern California Finals is considered the eighth best cross country race ~P the country," said Jacoby.

G. Howland Chase is a wealthy retired lawyer who resides in Washington. D.c.
Intrigued by the s'up~eme Court sinee childhood. Chase has always respected the position of Chief Justice. His respect for that office is s-o deep. in fact. that one might call it a mild form of veneration.
Recently. Chase decided to fulfill one of his many boyhood dreams by giving the Chief Justice an abode worthy of his rank.
G. Howland Chase offered the United States government his $350,000 mansion. located in the wealthy northwestern district of Washington. The only stipulation stated that the rriansiori was to be used as the official residence of the Chief Justice.
The gift included a $500,000 trust fund to maintain the estate. The General Services administration stated that the $500,000 would maintain the mansion for 90 years. A bill authorizing ace eptance

Priority registration of ath

letes. real and potential. is prac
ticed at College of the Canyons.
Since the fall of 1969, COC students have waited in line on the first day of registration.many hoping that the classes they need would not be closed. The reason:
at h 1e t e s, many s t ill in high school. had exercised their priority slips and were filling the classes.
Is it possible that students who had attended this college a year or more may not have been able to register in classes they needed because of athletic priority registration?
At a rec e n t student senate meeting. a spokesman for the administration re ported priority registration was necessary because an athlete needs classes that do not interfere with his practice schedule. This may be true, but isn't it also true that the working man, the person who is paying the taxes which allow this college to function, must also have his classes at times that do notconflict with his work?
The spokesman defended the priority registration on grounds that athletes are benefiting the school. Are not the band. drama organization, debate team, Student Senate. clubs. pep squad. newspaper reporters. committee workers. and the taxpaying stu
political turmoil. One issue of the .controversy questions if the office of Chief
Justice is a position requiring favored treatment; Also. should the ChiefJustice deserve priority in the form of a private _residence over the Vice President of the United States.
In any case. the bill is now in limbo.
Once again we see that the greatest dreams of modern man often become mashed in the of political machinery.
There is an old American adage. denotative of the charitable. character of our people. which says: "It is better to give than to receive."
Of course. the people who inspired that cliche were of earlier stock. They had no comprehension of contemporary politics.

Nixon Topic on Viewpoints
By Jim Brown
COC students came to grips

with several issues in a political
debate titled "Should President
Nixon Be Elected to a Second
Term?" last Friday at a View
points forum on campus.
Tony Prey, a Nixon backer,

cited three campaign promises
Mr. Nixon "made" in the 1968
Presidential election and "kept":
The Vietnam war is coming to

an end, the draft will not be re
newed, and the 18-year-old
vote is reality, he said.
In rebuttal, Bill Leach point

ed to the invasion of Cambodia
and bombing escalations in Viet
nam which have occurred under
President Nixon's administration,
and asked, "What's to prevent
future Presidents from renewing
the draft?"
Leach, categorizing Prey's

comments as "naive," also as
serted that it was Congress (not
Mr. Nixon) that gave the vote to
the 18 year-olds.
Larry Callagy, another Nixon

proponent,_ said he "admired the
President's peace overtures to
other countries."

Opinion
By Al Boykin

Have you ever experienced confrontation with God?
Most people have met God in their own way at least once. This meeting may have been the simple realization of knowing where he came from to a full revelation of God through some great trial.
For me it was a gradual understanding of Him.
Some will say, "I don't need

any more religion. I have all I
can handle."
I sympathize with these because I, too, can see that re1i g ion is prob ably the worst thing that ever happened to man. When man tries to reach God through his own efforts, namely through a good life, ethics, and
philosophy, frustration often is
the result. The crux .of the mat
ter lies not in what man can do,
but what God has done through
His Son, Jesus Christ.
Christ died for us, and having

power over death, He arose again.
He said, "I am the way, the
truth, and the life; no man COl'f\es
to the Father except by Me.
Although you may know all that Christ said and did, it is not enough to give intellectual accent to his claims or to undergo an emotional experience. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and Lord. Then we can know and ex-dents alsobenefitingthe college?
The administration spokesman said there were only 70 priority slips issued this fall. PreviouslY. he had claimed only 50 slips were issued. However, I found there were priority slips numbered as high as 124.
According to the spokesman, priority slips are issued only to potential athletes in sports that are in season. I seriously doubt that there are more than 80 athletes out for footbaJl and cross country--the two sports now "in season."
Priority registration imposes injustice on all other students. This practice caters to a special interest group. In my opinion, this practice is not fitting for a community college.
perience God's love and plan for our life.
Christ aJso said, "Behold. I stand at the heart's door and knock; if any man hears My voice and opens the door I will come into him."
I encourage you to invite Christ into your life today, while it is still fresh on your mind.
If you don't know a -prayer (which is talking with God). use this one:
Lord .T esus Tneed You. I open the door of my life .and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins, take control of the throne of my life. and make me the kind of person you want me to be.
Voters To Pass On Taxes,

Death Penalty, Obuenity
By Bill Leach
Proposition 14 is the first of
several controversial measures
on the November 7 ballot.
A "YES" vote on this initia
tive constitutional amendment
would limit ad valorem property
taxes, change various other tax
es, and revise the system of fi
nancing public education an ct
social welfare. Total loss in rev
e n u e s t o t h e s t a t e anct local
governments is estimated to ex
ceed $1.233 billion annually.
Proponents of this bill, in
cluding Philip E. Watson, county
assessor, and Joseph B. Carn
ahan, president of the California
Real Estate association, contend
that property taxes will be re
duced by as much as 40 per cent
while eliminatingthe legislature's

power to exempt special interests
from taxation.
Dr. Norman Topping, chairman of Californians Against Higher Taxes, and Ms. Walter Schuiling, president ofthe League of Women Vot_ers, are among the opponents ,. urging a "NO" vote on Proposi
tion 14.
They contend that the bill is a
cleverly guised tax increase for
workers which would give mas
sive tax breaks to the land in
terests. They further contend
that the bill would eliminate all
funds from the state going to
public community colleges, fire
departments and law enforcement
agencies. Furthermore, they feel
that the loss of revenues in de
ere as e d property taxes would
have to be reimbms-ed by in
creased personal income taxes.
Proposition 17, another con
troversial proposal, concerns the
death penalty.
A "YES" vote on this stature
would revise present California
laws to provide that no person
over 18 years of age shall be
punished in any way for growing,
processing, transportation, o.r
possessing marijuana, or for
using it.
A "NO" vote rejects this re
vision. The proposition does not
legalize sale or encourage the
use of marijuana.
Proposition 18, the obscenity
initiative, is another measure
subject to debate.
A favorable vote on this bill
would permit local regulation of
obscenity, revise definitions of
the term s "obscene matter"

"obscene live conduct," and
"harmful matter," provide addi
tional criminal prohibitions, and
make provisions for seizure and
destruction.

The bill's proponents state the purpose of the act is to protect children from the debilitating effects of obscenity by eliminating hardcore pornography, to give some control over pornographic materials to local communities, and to help law enforcement conserve funds through more efficient use of its resources.
A "NO" vote would retain the present law relating to obscene and harmful matter and obscene live conduct.
Opponents state that the bill would abolish the protection presently given to recognized works of art and literature, such as Michelangelo's statue of David. They also contend that the bill is so vague and broad that it would make it a crime to exhibit an adult motion picture or magazine containing a single photograph "that shows the nude or nearly body."
Congressman,John H.Rousselot, running for reelection on the Republican ticket, will speak in the Student Lounge at 12 noon Thursday (Nov. 2). Congressman Rousse lot is a member of the John Birch society.

O'Briens Set M-ark At COC
By Laura Leach
For the first time in its short
history, College of the Canyons
will observe a second generation
turn o v e r when Kat h y Marie
O'Brien graduates next June.

Her father, Lt. John O'Brien, a California Highway Patrol officer and Police Science instructor on campus, graduated in June. 1971.
Lt. O'Brien taught the first class that was offered by coc in the fall _of 1969, and attended evening courses that were offered at Hart High School before the temporary buildings were built on this campus.
"My class (Vehicle Code) met at 8 o'clock that first morning in the conference room of Vallev

Federal Savings and Loan As
sociation. Later we met in the
Hart High library," he said.
He has an other daughter, Karen, who is a freshman at COC this fall.
"I've seen College of the
Canyons from three different points of view as a teacher, a student and a parent. I think it's
going to be a beautiful campus when the buildings are completed and I think it will grow with the community as it has the past three years," he said.

Besides playing the roles of
student, teacher and parent, Lt.
O'Brien has served on the Po
lice Science Advisory committee
and the Citizens Advisory com
mittee for Proposition 1.

Currently, he is instructor of
the Police Scien c e course,
"Vehicle Code," on Thursdays
from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 8 to
10 p.m.

Harrie rs Pre p For Ke y Race
coc'sfirst annual Indtational Cross Country tournament, the largest single athletic event staged here, went off like clockwork Saturday, Oct. 21, with 147 runners from 21 junior colleges ranging from Monterey to San Diego participating.
The caliber of the meet is measured by the fact that the course record was broken by 17 runners, including COC 's top harrier, Jim Bonnell, who turned in the second best time of the day. Bonne 11 held the former record. The new record set by qary Lockman of Golden West College in Orange County is 20 :08.
coc's harriers plac ed fourth in the small school division won by Santa Ana.
Mt. San Antonio College ran away in the large school division with a low point total of only 42 compared with. the next mark of 75 by Los Angeles Valley College.
coc's fourth place showing pleased Coach Ed Jacoby who called it "the best pe;!ormance of the year for the team.
" "Every runner on the team except one, and he was ill , ran the best race of his life over this course. But more than that, we defeated every other school from the Western States Conference (COC's), including Glendale City College which is currently leading the 1eague."

New individual best times for Cougars set in the Invitational are Bonnell, 20:22; Ed Marynowski,21 :09; FrankRamierez, 21:29; Paul Brown: 23:07,. and Kevin Rocque, 23 :56. Howard Hockenberry, who was ill, ran 22:21. Brown improved his course mark by a full minute. The most importantconference meet of the year will be held next Friday (Nov. 3) at Glendale City College. COC battles West Los Ange les and Glendale in adouble , dual meet. If COC wins this one, it has a good chance to tie for first place in the WSC. If COC loses, it probably will wind up in third place ( or tie for third) in the nine school conference.

Student Gov't -Active, At COC
By Rick Signoretti
Unlike many other schools , College of the Canyons has an active student government invol ved in a: variety of studentvital programs ' ranging from changing the colors of graduation gowns to the planning of a massive concert.
Ma n y students take thes e things for granted without realizing the work and scale of political juggling behind them.
The aim of the Student Senate this year is to provide activities which all students can participate
in and thus establish a college
atmos phere.
A film committee has been

originated to show such films as " Bullet" , and a "W.C. Fields." film festival. A speaker committee is presenting a dance arid noon-hour concert once a month, and a concert _committee has been formed to present a rock concert sometime in February. This will be the firsttimecoc has attempted such a large scale operation.
But these are just the social activities .
A teachers' evaluation committee has been f mmed to re present student opinion of teachers on campus, and priority registration for athletes is .being examined to prevent any unfairness during registration time. A bookstore committee, investigating bookstore policy, is attempting to curb outrageous prices and certain book buy-back practices.
The senate has ,already changed the food catering hours, adding one half in the afternoon and two senate meetings are to be held each month on Wednesday nights so that night students may have a voice in campus affairs.
Meetings of the Senate are held once a week in the Board room located in the Administration building. The meetings are open and all students.are invited. A suggestion box is located in the Student Lounge and we ask all students to offer suggestions for the betterment of the college.

New Se w Class
"Stretch and Sew," a sevenweek interest course for female students, meets in C-3 from 12 noon to 2 p.m. each Wednesday, announced Mildred Guernsey, mathematics instructor.
The garment-making class sponsored by the Associated Student Body, is taught by Mrs. Louise Burch of the Magic Needle Shop in Newhall.Articles c reated by Mrs. Burch are offered as door prizes after the class.
Interested students may still enter the sewing class, and if enough interest is generated, an advance course will be taught.

STUDENTS RALLY FOR BOND DRIVE
11 Win WSC Grid Honors
Eleven outstanding Cougar

football players have been named
to Western States Conference ..a,ll-league teams.
Top honors went to Ron Jamerson, named running back on the offensive first team, and to Larry Nunnally, tackle of the defensive first team.
Wide receiver Wayne Fogelsong and Gary Payne, guard, made the second all-conference team on offense, and Bill Lankford, defensive halfback, was named to the defensive second team.
The annual football banquet honoring the Cougar team will be held Thursday night, Dec. 7, at the Ranch House Inn, Valencia. Festivities

Jamerson, a freshman, was voted the second best running back in the WSC this year. He gained 693 yards in nine games, averaging 6 yards per carry, and scored seven touchdowns. He's a product of Sylmar H.igh.
Co-captain Nunnally is that rare football bird--he plays both ways and is outstanding both ways. A bulwark of strength in the pit on defense, Larry is also an excellent pass blocker. Also only a freshman, he could be one of. the best linemen in the state next year.
Fogelsong won conference honors despite injuries that kept him out of four games. As a receiver, he logged 337 yards in 23 pass completions, scoring five TDs. He comes from St.

Opinion
By Rick Signoretti

In the writing of this column
I realize I'm bucking the estab
lished system in reference to
student employment on campus.
Being a student worker my

self. I feel I can express my
feelings honestly and with
knowledge of the topic.
I wish to point a finger at no

one but desire to see changes
in the current pay system for
student workers and for paid
holidays.
Currently a student worker gets paid once a month while all other school employees receive bi-monthly checks. I admit that it teaches the student worker how to budget funds but this seems unjust to me as I, like
many of my fellow employees, have bills to pay to survive. To be paid twice a. month as are other employees would ease this strain and cut down on the absentee rate.
I say this because while other em p 1 o ye es work their eight hour day, students must
c arry at least 12 units per quarter to remain employed. They must maintain at least a "C" average in these classes to remain in school let alone keep their employment. They work three hours a day, 15 a week, or 120 a month. Between school and daily work, I feel that this equals an eight hour work day.
With reference to paid holidays, I ask not for pay for an eight hour day or even for pay for all the holidays the school system recognizes, but for pay
for the three hours we would normally be working. I ask not for pay for the day beofre or after a vacation or for the entire vacation period, but only for the holiday itself, such as Christmas day.
I feel that this is not an unjust request or does it jeopardize benefits of full-time employees. They receive holiday pay, vacation pay, sick leave, overtime and raises which the student worker does not.
I consider myself fortunate to possess the job I hold. I enjoy my work and respect the position of my superiors, but I do firmly believe in fairness and equality. Our country was founded on these two principles.
No one likes to challenge

established rules and regulations

Jim Shows His Chromosomes
By Anne Stone

Did you know that this picture shows the c he mica 1 s in our bodies that not only . determine our sex and physical appearance, but all of our behavior as well? Most people would know them simply as the 46 chromosomes of a normal human body.
The particular set in the accompanying photograph are those of James Boykin, biology instructor. Alan Hoeltje, a basic science major, conducted the tests for the chromosome analysis
What exactly are you looking at? Boykin explains this very complicated concept simply as "the 46 chromosomes at metaphase, when the chromatids are very short and thick and still connected in the middle by the centromere,"
Of course, you biology buffs know all about this stuff, right?
Alan used the TC Chromosome Culture Kit which contained the chemicals and step-bystep procedure needed for the experiment. The entire process took four days. During the first three days, white blood cells were cultured in a special medium enab ling them to grow outside of the body.
Then, at the proper time, chemicals were added to inhibit
To those who know the popular biology instructor best, the resemblance is clear. Look closely. Of course. Jim Boykin. Well, not exactly Jim Boykin ... but his chromosomes.
further growth, leaving the chromosomes lined up from too to bottom in the middle of the cell, or in other words, in the metaphase stage of cell division. Slides were made and in the process the chromosomes were displaced so that they were no longer lined up. With the aid of a special camera microscope> Don Takeda, another of our biology instructors, was able to take a photograph of Boykint chromo

Biology students hope to obtain different kinds of animal blood and make slides for use in comparative studies.

Opinion
By Bob Springer

"Keep Farr out of jail!"
This was the rallying cry of the Los Angeles Press Club and other local journalism societies on behalf of William Farr, newspaper reporter, now languishing in jail.
Farr now is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, but during the infamous Mans on trial, he worked for the Herald Examiner.
During the trial he obtained
"inside" information from two
attorneys on the case that the

Manson "family" had planned to kiH several Hollywood celebri.:. ties, Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor among them. The Herald Examiner printed the story and Judge Older blew his stack.
For the moment, Farr was protected by the First Amendment. Then Fap left his journalism job. Judge Older asserted that now he was no longer protected by the "freedom of the press" stipulation in the Constitution.
Judge Older demanded that Farr divulge the names of the attorneys who had violated his gag order during the trial. Farr refused. He stood on the newsman's traditional practice of refusing to disclose the source of confidential information. The judge questioned six attorneys on the case, but none would confess to giving Farr the infor
mation.
For standing on his timehonored journalistic principles, Farr is now taking the rap--an "open end" sentence in jail.
This is asinine. And unconstitutional, although there is some static on the latter point.
The Times is keeping Farr on salary while he smolders in jail. Journalism fraternities all over the land, including Sigma Delta Chi, the top professional society, are backing the reporter, and attorneys (not the two who refuse to admit they gave Farr the information) are donating their services in his defense.
Meanwhile, a pride-filled and frustrated judge, with shallow reaso ning and shaky legal grounds, has condemned Farr to jail for an indeterminate per
iod of time.
In my opinion, this is another in a growing series of attempts by government to chip away at the news media which refuse to become a press agency for gov
ernment.
The courts and Washington are attempting to intimidate the press and TV as never before in our history. What this really means is that the courts and government are attempting to intimidate the people of the United States because all that stands between the government and the people is the press.
Judge Older's action, it seems to me, is all part of this overall insidious trend to curtail the people's right to know.
SENATE BACKS

TAX COURSE
By Rick Signoretti
With the dedication and ex

citement of a Christmas shopper.
the Student Senate has been
hard at work arranging social
and academic projects for the
college.
Stretch and Sew. a mini

course sponsored by the senate 1
and the first mini-course offered
at this college. has been a total
success. Twenty-three students
have completed this course.
Because of this success. the Student Senate will be sponsoring another mini-course dealing with preparation of income tax forms. These courses are open to anyone. No grades are given. Future courses under consideration are ceramics. and an advanced Stretch and Sew class.
After a detailed investigation.

the Student Senate has agreed to
continue plans for a rock con
cert. although on a s ma 11 er
scale.
After meetings with production

companies. it was determined
that $15,000 would not be enough
to stage a concert of the pro
portion initially desired. The
revised concert will cost about
$7,000 and will feature enter
t a in m.e n t along the lines of
Chee ch and Chong.
With reference to a proposed student directory. the senate provided a form during registration for listing of names. telephone numbers and addresses.
In coordination with the Toysfor-Tots drive, the senate will be donating $25 from each of the officers budgets to aid in making this worthwhile event a success.
A By-Law change was submitted to the senate and unanimously passed in regards to defunct Inter-club Council funds. The By-Law change states that funds from clubs that have gone defunct for one year will revert to the ASB general fund. This will eliminate the possibility of individuals using defunct club funds at their own discretion.
To provide more social activity. the Freshman class will purchase a ping-pong table to be installed outside the Student Lounge.
The Student Senate invites all students to attend its weekly meetings. The first and third Wednesday meetings of each month are held at 7:30 p .m. to permit evening students to participate. Monday noon meetings are held the second and fourth week of each month for day student participation. All meetings are held in the Board Room.

New Auto Shop Is Going U1f
By John Hunt

The latest building project u n d e r w a y on c a m p u s is a $125,000 Auto Shop and Corporate Yard going up south of the baseball field.
When completed next year. in time for the 1973-74 school year. the structure will house the auto mechanic classes now conducted at the Pine Street facilities in Newhall, and serve as a storage and maintenance area for college vehicles and supplies.
"Moving the auto shop on campus will have peripheral advantages," said Henry Endler, transportation instructor. Students who heretofore have been involved only with auto shop off campus will now have a chance more esaily to become involved in other school activities and
courses.
The new au to shop, which will contain teaching eql,lipment valued in excess of $100,000, will be one of the best in the state, according to Endler.
"This is not our opinion alone." he said. "General Motors. which knows what we are
doing and planning. has said so."
The instructor pointed out that while the auto shop is one of the best. it does not and will not compete with outside garages in the area. Repair services
conducted m connect10n with teaching are restricted to vehicles of staff and students, he said.
Among auto maintenance areas covered in auto shop courses are tune-up, engine over
haul, air conditioning. brakes. wheel alignment, manual and automatic transmissions, and clutches. Motorcycle repair also is taught.
"When the student completes a course. he receives a certificate which aids him in finding a job," said Robert Pollock, dean of vocational-technical education.
The auto shop program will find its ultimate home in the $1,051,000 Vocational-Technical Education building which will be located south of the Bonelli Center now under construction.
In addition to auto shop, the Voe-Tech building will accommodate classes in welding, appliance repair, electronits and plastics.
Construction is scheduled to

start in 1973 and the building
should b e ready for use in early
1974.

Jim Bonnell No. 5 In State
By Mike Winslow

Jim Bonnell, ace Cougar harrier, is the fifth best cross coun try runner in California.
He earned the ranking at the California State Finals held here Nov. 25. The state's No. 1 harier is Roger Henderson of Moor park who also placed first in the Western States Conference meet held here earlier in November.
The state finals concluded the busiest cross country season
in COC history with four major meets--COC Invitational, West em State Conterence Champion ship, Southern California Champ ionship, and the California State Finals--staged on the rugged 4-mile plus Cougar course by Coach Ed Jacoby.
"I'm glad it's over," said the amiable and able mentor. "This has been the busiest cross country season in 12 years of coach
ing. Jacoby called this year's squad the best cross country team in COC history, adding that four runners--Frank Ramirez, Ed Marynowski, Paul Brown, and "Kevin Rocque--are returning next sesson.
In the biggest meet of the year, Bonnell took third place in the Southern California Nov. 17. COC 's Ed Marynowski placed 28th in a field of 120 running in the small school division.
Hockenberry, who is a top track quartermiler, finished 3 9th in the grueling run. Both he and Bonnell will graduate next June and both have received over~ tures from four-year .schools.
The Cougars did exceptionally well in their first season in the bigger and better Western States Conference, winning five and losing three for a fourth place finish. COC is by far the smallest school in the conference.
Last season Cougar harriers won the Desert Conference title.
FOOTBALL

Free safety Lankford made six interceptions during the season. A graduate of Hart High Schoo], Bill also earned allDesert Conference honors last year.
Lopez, a tough competitor, played tight end. He's a good blocker and a sticky-fingered short pass receiver. He's from Sylmar High.

"All things considered," said Head Coach Don Kloppenburg, "it was a fine season. We were a freshman-oriented team and we were the smallest school in the conference, yet finished a most respectable 3-3-1, with an overall season record of 5-3-1.
"Next year will depend on the desire and attitude of the many returning lettermen," said the coach.
The WSC all-league teams are selected by the p1aye rs themselves. Each league team names an all-opponent team, that is, each picks the best players faced during the season.
The conference commissioner then compiles the returns and names the all-conference teams.
Rule Changes Irk Speakers
Charges of rule "irregulari

ties" were h u r 1e d by a COC
speaker following the recent Rio
Hondo Forensics Tourname.nt at
Whittier in which 10 schools
competed, including College of
the Canyons.
"I was rated by the same

judge in three impromptu rounds
and twice by the same judge in
the first two expository rounds,"
said Jim Brown, one of two COC
speakers in the competition.
The rules state specifically

that no student will be judged
more than once in each event.
Brown also said that he com

peted with the same students at
least twice in both events and
in impromptu met one of the
same students in all three rounds.
The rules are definite on this

point: "No student. will com
pete with the same students
more than once in each event."
"After the judge rated me the

first time, it is unrealistic to
expect him to change his opinion
in later rounds. I also noticed a
number of other rule infractions,"
said Brown.
William Baker, oral communi

cations instructor, did not refute
the validity of Brown's charges.
"I was very puzzled by pro

ceedings myself," he said.
Al Boykin, COC's second competitor, and Brown also castigated the tournament committee for failing to provide lunch facilities for the contestants as advertised.
"The only food was locked in a sandwich vending machine labeled 'Out of Order', and by late afternoon some of us had weak knees and growling stomachs," said Brown.
Baker and his students do not begrudge victory to others, but do criticize the tournament committee.
"The importance of forensic competition is the experience and training one gains, and poorly organized tournaments do not provide the best atmosphere for learning," said Baker.
Earlier in November, COC speakers competed against colleges and universities from Nevada, Arizona, and Southern California at Cal State, Los Angeles.
In addition to Brown and Boykin, COC speakers include Toni Johnson, Bill Leach, Tony Prey, and Laura Leach.

"We definitely have the nucleus of a great ball team for 1973," said the new coach with refreshing if uncommon candor.
"The Cougars were 3-3-1 in the conference last year. I'm going to try to improve on that record. That's a real challenge. I'm also looking forward to preparing our football players to do well and bring credit to us after they leave COC and play for the four-year schools.

Senate Sets Spring Events
By Rick Signoretti
The new year has started and the Student Senate has taken its first new steps to provide the student with academic and social involvement.
The first activity instigated by the senate will be brought to you through the speakers' committee which will present Jack Nava, hair stylist, Tuesday, Jan, 16, to demonstrate the proper way to take care of your hair.
After this hair-raising event, the social committee will sponsor a dance on Friday, Jan. 26, featuring the Smiles. a San F ernando Valley group.
The success of both activities is centered around publicity and the senate is reorganizing the publicity committee. Currently, silk-screen posters to catch the eye are being produced and distributed throughout our area and the Valley, newspa per, stories are being written, and

~ the highlysuccessful flier handouts will be continued. In addition, a publicity fac-, ulty advisor is being sought. Any instructor wishing to assist is asked to contact Kevin Shibuya. ,The concert committee is still working on the special concert planned for May and is currently trying to sign up the Allman Brothers and Cheech and Chong for a dual performance. The Pep Squad has announced the additioq of a yell king, Juan Campbell, so that all girls sitting in the bleachers will have someone to give an eye to during halftime. In connection with the upcoming bond election (which, if passed, will complete our college), the senate has donated
an additional $500 (for a total of 1,000), and earlier launched a registration drive on our cam. pus, at the high schools, and at Cal Arts.

Mechanics advise drivers not
to "feel" forthe curbwhile park
ing because of damage to tires
and to front end alignment.
What's to be done?
With the safety of the ped2 strian in mind, which means continuation of the speed bump philosophy, I think a reduction in the height of the obstructions is in order. By reducing the height from 3½ to 2½ inches, the same results can be achieved. In addition, the number of bumps on the west entrance road should be reduced from 12 to four and on the east from five to three.

GOLF TEAM ORGANIZED
Coach Lee Smelser is organizing a golf team to compete in the Western States Conference. At least six golfers are required to make a team, which means that Lee needs two more to make minimum quota. The four members of the squad so far are Scott Allensworth, team captain , Dick Bruner, Dave Bayless, and Russ Bennett.
Seven Cougars Win Top Awards
Larry Nunnally, co-captain and defensive and offensive tackle., was named "Most Valuable Player" for the 1972 Cougars at the annual football awards banquet held last month at the Ranch House Inn.
Fortunately Nunnally, who was named to the all-league first defensive team in the Western States Conference, will return to the team nexi; season.
The "Most Inspirational Player" award went to Marty Slimak, linebacker, who knew how to fire up the team at critical moments. He, too, returns next fall.
The "Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman" award was shared by Nunnally and Robert Piltz, center. The pair was formidable on pass protection and in blowing holes into defensive lines for charging running backs.
Changes Made During Break
By Judi Conklin
There've been some changes while we were away! It seems as if C OC g o t a f e w C h r i s t m a s "gifts" of its own. Let's take a quick tour around the campus and pick them out .
Since you are already on campus you have no doubt seen ( or should I say felt?) the first ."present." If you are one of the majority of students who parks in the upper lots, you know I'm talking about those wonderful (?) speed bumps. They are a joy aren't they?
You just know that going over them does wonders for your alignment. Every time I drive across one of them my poor old car shrieks in agony. It's really sad.
For another gift, pop into the 1unch area and look down, Yep, the floor has been repainted. I know it's still gray, but at least it's shinier.
Now as long as your at that end of the campus, stroll over by the administration parking area. See the difference? Right! The spaces have been changed from hard-to-park-in, straight, narrow lanes to easy-to-get-in-and-out-of slanted slots. Much nicer.
Now, our final present is a little harder to pick out. In fact several people have been seen wandering around campus looking for it. That gift is of course the addition of the classroom numbered G½.
I must admit that I checked both sides of the G bui lding before I summoned up enough courage to look dumb and ask someone where I could find G½.
It was then I learned that I was actually looking for the rooms G 1 and 2 and the slash in the class listings had been inadvertantly placed in -the diagonal position instead of hori
zontal. That made me feel bet
ter. After all, it wasn't my fault
that I was looking for the wrong
room.
Happy New Year.
Among the latter was Ron Jamerson, named "Outstanding
Offensive Back." Jamerson also was named running back on the all-conference first team.
Tom Jack, a devastating tack
ler in his linebacker role, was
named "Most Outstanding De
fensive Lineman."

Two outstanding pass interceptors and pass defense aces were Bill Lankford and Jerry Slimak who shared trophies for "Most Outstanding Defensive Back."
Among the many guests at the banquet was Anthony Davis, running back extraordinary for the University of Southern California Trojans who massacred Ohio State in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1
Anthony's brother, William, is a defensive back with the Cougars.

ICC Provides Club Variety
By Rick Signoretii

The organization titled the Inter-Club Council ICC consists of all active clubs on campus. The organization is headed by Roger Walden, president, and offers the student an opportunity to expand socially as we 11 as academically.
It is surprising and comforting to know that a school of our size has so many active clubs that a student may become involved in a variety of activities from ecology to religion simply by at
tending a meeting of a club he
desires to join.
A club presently active on

campus is Theatre Four which will be presenting plays on March 2 and 3. Alpine Club is planning a camping trip in February. It caters to those who like to get close to nature by back packing.
Ecology Club is planning a recycling drive this month and participation in Earth Week whichencompasses all facets of saving our planet from self destruction.
The newly founded Scuba Club appeals to those interested in our underwater world which is the last frontier on our planet. It is scheduling films and guest speakers.

Opinion
By Sue Miles
Two older married male stu

dents sat discussing one of
their fellows. The general con
census appeared to be that at 24
he led an enviable, unmarried
life. The "gay blade" lived in a
singles apartment, drove a late
model sports car, and maintained
a flexible schedule subject to
his every whim. His wide choice
of assorted female bed partners
were discussed with much knee
slapping and eye winking.
Yet when the conversation
veered to another peer, the stu
dents sadly shook their heads.
This poor unfortunate was also a
single 24, yet the students were
positive that the person in ques
tion was either dedicated to a
life of celibacy, or burdened with
some mysterious imperfection.
The second student happened to
be a woman.
Here lies the crux of the fem

inist movement. The myths, fal.,t
lacies, and half-truths that por
tray a woman as a mindless,
object whose only wish is to
possess a ring on her finger are
still being passed from genera
tion to generation.
The asinine tradition that a
woman was born to cook, clean,
and raise children begins when
the proud father shouts, "It's a
girl!" Whereupon the baby is
showered with pink booties, fril
ly dresses, and dolls.
Later come Suzy Homemaker
ovens ,child-sized ironing boards,
and "Mystery Date Game."
In school books, Dick builds
a playhouse while Jane fixes
sandwiches.
Girls are encouraged towards
secretarial courses in high
school, "just in case you need a
job." In short, if you fail and
don't land a husband, you'll be
able to support yourself.
Many people of both sexes
are simply not cut out for mar
riage. Witness the extreme divorce
rate in the United States. Per
haps if these people had not been
so acutely aware of social pres
sures to "get married, settle
down, raise a family," they could have been spared a tremendous amount of anguish.
Women are finally beginning to realize that they can lead rich, full lives with or without marrying. Instead of panicking at the thought of being an "old maid," women are adopting the attitude that a self-sufficient, independent person has more to offer than someone whose only thought is to be married by 24 ~
For both sexes, more important than a ring, a promise, or a pledge is the development of oneself, becoming a unique person with the confidence to say, "I am me I am free to do whatever I wish without regard to playing a role assigned to me according to my race, creed, color, or sex."

CAGERS NEED TALL TIMBER
By Fred Fink
Wanted: Tall Timber!
Anyone knowing the where

taller, with basketball elegibility
and the ability to jump, please
run, do not walk, to the office
of Coach Lee Smelser!
Basketball, unlike baseball,

is a game of FEET and inches,
particularly up front, In a league
sporting centers who scale from
6'6" and up, the Cougars coun
ter with 6'2" Scott Allensworth
and 6'5" Herb Barker, the tal
lest player on the team.
As a result, the team finds itself out-reached, out-rebounded, out-muscled and out-benched. Still the Cougars prove themselves to be a scrappy bunch, as witness their efforts against Moorpark College, a tall, wellthought-of aggregate, which they took into overtime before falling back. Illustrating the futility of the season, a last second free throw by Barker could have won it in regulation time. It hit the rim.
My apologies to Herb, but let the example stand. Even the best of the pros find their averages take a dramatic dip when they go to the line with the game riding on the throw.
There is one thing about Coach Smelser: he's too loyal to the team to predict disaster. But he doesn't list a center on the team roster, either.
The prob 1 e ms fa c ing the doughty Cougars are summarized by the record at press time. COC cagers have. won but one game in 18 played.
The Cougar starters are Yelverton, center; Jim Carter and Scott Jenson, guards, and Gary Carson and Barker, forwards. Other squad members are Greg Morin, Herb Brady, and Ron Polkr guards, a.nd Allensworth, forward.
Barker, at 6'5," is the tallest Cougar.
The team's top scorer to date is Jepson, averaging 14 points a game. Next is Barker, 10.6; Carson, 10; Morin, 8.8, and Yelverton, 8.5.
Rebounding is covered principally by Carson (8 per game), Barker, 7.5 , and Yelverton, 6.5.
Barker is the best foul shooter among the Cougars with a 64 per cent average.
Offensively, this year's team does not have the punch of last year's squad which finished
with a respectable over-all record of 20-12.
The team is averaging 65 points a game, down 20 points over last year.
Smelser attributes the relative low scoring chiefly to inexperience. Carson is the only sophomore among the starters.
"I know we' 11 improve offensively as the season progresses," he said. "I'm proud of the squad, its attitude and enthusiasm, even though it lacks height and experience and is at a great disadvantage because of this."
Up-coming games are with

The Compton game illustrates a major Cougar problem--lack of height. Compton's center is 7' tall and if it wishes Compton can field a team whose shortest man is 6'7" ...and he's a guard.

Prior to coming to COC in 1969 he coached at New Mexico State for two years and before that he led Laney College to three championships in three
years.
"My experience at COC has been simply great" he said. "Top people. Top players. Naturally, I wish Larry and his staff the greatest possible success next fall. I' 11 be watching closely. I'll be watching COC closely all my life.
"Particularly I thank Dr. Rockwell and Chuck Rheinschmidt for the chance to come to COC in the first place."
In addition to his coaching duties at UT, Kloppenburg will also be in charge of west coast recruiting. This means he'll visit COC about once a month, he thinks.
In this regard, three Cougars from last season's team are transferring to UT immediately on full NCAA scholarships. They are Steve Pearson, co-captain and defensive tackle; Gary Payne, all league defensive guard, and Tim Jorgensen, defensive tackle.
Additional Cougars will be up for scholarship consideration in the fall, Kloppenburg added .
SPRING PROGRAMMING

COC Wrest I ers Hard To Pin
We're all familiar with wrestl

ing. It probably started with the
first emergence of life on earth,
hit a high point with the Greeks,
and has since been an integral
part, in one form or another, of
all 20 levels of social acce p
tance.
Unfortunately, wrestling, as

practiced today is generally
ignored by the public. This is
generally true with individual
(versus team) sports.
Every time a wrestler wres

tles, he puts his ego, pride, and
self-acceptance up for judgment.
If a grappler does not win, he's
labelled a "loser." Not loser of
one wrestling match, but a loser,
period.
If he wins, he's a hero. but

only as long as he wins. It takes
character and guts to be a wres
t) P,r. The basic idea of such an individual sport is not to rip out the other guy's groin and throw it over the mountain, so to speak. The true nature of wrestling is found in the intrinsic joy, satisfaction, and drive such a grueling sport demands. Wrestling appears to be physical only. But it's an emotional and intellectual thing, too. Good wrestling demands strict control of the cerebral as well as the visceral parts of man. Great wrestlers don't bask in the limelight as do professional football p]avers. TV actors, and astronauts. In fact the seconcts tring quarterback for the New England Patriots (can you name him?) gets more recognition than any wrestler I know. The first thing that comes to mind about our own Cougar wrestling team is that it's very good. At a recent Santa Monica tournament for community colleges, COC placed third among 13 schools, bringing home two first and two second place trophies as well as a "fastest pin" award. The Cougars, over-all, have already won four matches. Two conference losses were by sma-!1 margins (Ventura 27-19 and Hancock 24~21 ). Individual records are: Tony Turrentine, 126 pounds, five wins; Brent Dyer, 134; six wins; Paul Nunez, 140, two wins; Steve Passmore, 167, three wins, and Steve Tummolo, 177. The Cougar one-two-three punch, if we may mix sport terminology, comes from Chuck Cesena, 150, and Mark Claffey, 158, both of whom have already won six matches, and from Julius Askew, heavyweight. Julius is big. And I mean big. He's undefeated and according to Coach Larry Reisbig has a goodshotat the conference championship. Coach Reisbig feels good about his team. So does everybody else. The single-most popular attraction on campus these days is a wrestling match in the PE building. The crowd is always overflow and always very,
very noisy. Good show.

THE CANYON CALL

Vol. III, No. 8 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS January 31, 1973
COC BONDS -VOTE "YES" FEB. 6

A success(ul bond election on Feb. 6 will enable College of the
Canyons to construct all the buildings shown in the architect's model above. Plans call for completion of all buildings shown in photo by January, 1975.
These permanent structures include the Bonelli Center (upper left) now under construct ion; the Laboratory, Classroom, and Student Act ivity buildings scheduled to start going up next April, and the Mechanical Technology building and the Physical Education Center. Start of construction on the latter two projects is set for next September.
The Physical Educat ion Center (lower right) includes an all-weather swimming pool and a gymnasium that may also be used for concerts , plays , and other community activities. Additional projects in COC's master plan not shown in the photo include completion of the football fie Id; construction of the Theater Arts, Classroom-Administration, Music, and BusinessEducation buildings, and completion of all site development work.
Work is scheduled to start on the football field in March. The football field, with seating for 6,000 and full lighting, will be ready by next fall and provide additional facilities for community use.
Work on the Theater Arts and Classroom-Administration buildings starts next September, on the Music building in September, 1975, and on the Business Education building in September, 1977. When completed in 1982, College of the Canyons will accommodate 7,500 students.
Dr. Ro, kwell Calls COC Bond Ele,tion "Bargain"
"The Feb. 6 bond election for $8 million means everything to the future of College of the Canyons," declared Dr. Robert C. Rockwell, superintendent-president.
District voters must decide if they are to have a first or second rate college, he said.
"The election will determine the course of our college for the next decade."
Approval of the bond election

will enable COC to provide its share of matching funds for $11. 2 million already allocated by the state to construct permanent buildings on the local campus.
The state's share represents

Dr. Rockwe II

80 per cent of the eligible campus constructton cost9.
State voters approved a $160 million community college construction bond act in the Nov. 7 general election. The $11..2 milnon is COC's share--if local
voters approve the bond election on Feb. 6.
If not, the $$11.2 million will go to conduct some other community college in the state.
Dr. Rockwell asserts that if voters understand the economics of the election, it will be virtually impossible for them to turn d own what he terms the "best bargain imaginable for local taxpayers."
"How often does the public get a chance to vote for $8 million and receive an additional $11. 2 million for nothing?" he said.

In addition, the money now

spent for renting of temporary
classrooms, laboratory buildings,
and faculty and administration
offices on campus will go, in
stead, to pay for permanent build
ings, he pointed out.
"Lower taxes will be required

to build permanent buildings than
are now levied to pay for the
temporary leased structures," he
said.
Local taxpayers currently pay

about 20 cents of the tax rate
for rental oftemporary structures.
County officials estimate that
the maximum tax rate for the pro
posed bonds will not exceed 17. 2
cents.
In addition, Dr. Rockwell

pointed out, the current 20 cent
levy is not fixed and, in fact,
may be increased in the future if
COC remains in its temporary
building status.
"Our present facilities are already jammed,', he said. "In the normal course of growth, additional temporary structures will be required if permanent buildings are not constructed now. Conceivably, itwillbe necessary to increase the tax levy for COC by another 10 cents in a year or so if the bond issue fails."
"All our planning, building, and work up to now to make College of the Canyons a first-rate institution is on the line on Feb. 6,1' concluded Dr. Rockwell.
local Chambers Urge "Yes" Vote

The Newhall-Saugus-Valencia and the Canyon Country chambers of commerce urge a "YES" vote for the Feb. 6 bond election to complete College of the Canyons.
"After careful analysis, our board of directors has voted to support the bond issue/' said
W.E. Black, president of the Newhall-Saugus-Valencia CC.
"The board feels that completion of the college will increase the quality of education here and add economic value to the entire community particularly in view of the availability of state funds ($11. 2 million) for permanent building construction:'
Dan Hon, president of Canyon Country CC, said his group voted to reaffirm its stand that "a community college is an absolute necessity for the betterment of Canyon Country and the entire valley."
In supporting the election, the Four Oaks Homeowners Association reported, "We are confident that it will not increase our tax rate,"
Other organizations endorsing the election are the NewhallSaugus-Valencia Board of Realtors, Newhall-Saugus Jay Cees, Saugus School P.T.C., Academic Senate of College ofthe Canyons,

Editorial

It is incomprehensible to me that any registered voter-particularly a student-would not exercise his ballot franchise on Feb.
6. This isn't an election that wil 1 affect, young people in this community in the distant future. This election is now!
In a very real sense, the immediate fate of College of the Canyons lies in your hands. You have the power to bring victory or defeat to the "Complete Our College" bond election.
In my o pinion, a student "YES" vote will carry the election. Don't miss this chance. It may not come again for years if you flub it now.
Right behind you come th e high school students who will enter COC soon. Any eligible high school student who does not vote "YES" on Feb. 6 makes even less sense. His apathy simply handicaps himself.
This is not a simple "majority" election as was the Nov. 7 general election in which state voters approved a $160 million community college construction bond act. The Feb. (3 election requires a two-third majority vote to win.
This bond election will effect students directly and immediately. Construction of the permanent campus at COC will enable students to attend school locally at a great saving to themselves and their parents.
With the completion of our college, COC will become more and more the ~enter of cultural, educational, and athletic activities in our community.
To possess the voting franchise and not exercise it in this particular instance is unthinkable.
Remember--your "YES" vote can swing the election!

HERE IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABO UT

According to COC officials, some voters may be confused by the language on -the Feb. 6 bond ballot form. The ballot statement authorizes the SantaClarita Community College District to issue the bonds.
Robert Berson, assistant superintendent, business services, pointed out that all proceeds of the bonds will be used for development of College of the Canyons b~cause it is the only campus maintained by the district.
He emphasized that the district intends to use the bonds only for constructing and equipping of permanent facilities at
coc.
A vote in the "Bonds--Yes" box on the ballot is a vote to
( 1) complete College of the Canyons, (2) receive $11.2 million in state funds. and (3) lower the local property tax rate.

Students currently attend classes in temporary leased structures which are inadequate even for today's enrollment. Classes are crowded and some enrollments are curtailed for lack of spac~e,

College of the Canyons is presently housed in temporary relocatable buildings. In the fall quarter of 1972, the college served approximately 1,000 students in the day and another 900 at night. However, the crowding is extreme at night due to the short
. er time span in which to serve students.
Four hundred students is the limit that the campus can serve in a given hour with the present inadequate facilities.
The temporary facilities include eight special classrooms for physical education, language laboratory, and two science laboratories.
There are 11 general classrooms, all small. Since the space has been particularly tight at night, a portion of the Student Lounge has been used for classes four nights a week.
Enrollment in numerous classes has been curtailed for lack of space.
The new laboratory center which goes to bid in February, 1973, will eliminate many of the problems posed by the lack of special teaching spaces. This building provides three laboratory areas forbiological sciences, two spaces for physical sciences, one for math, two for art, two for
business education, one for
health sciences, and one for
electronics.
Five general classrooms and

a large lecture hall seating 125 will also be housed in the laboratory center.
The classroombuilding, scheduled to go up at the same time as the laboratory center, will be a three-story structure and when completed will significantly ease the current classroom and office space pressure.
The first floor will house student personnel services. Administration quarters, including the Office of Instruction, and a computer center will occupy the second floor.Five classrooms and faculty offices will occupy the third floor.
Start of construction of both buildings is scheduled for late spring.

Students who vote and turn in their voter's stubs will be eligible for a student body-sponsored drawing, with the winner receiving free text books for the next quarter.
COC students care. Show that you do, too, by voting "YES" on Feb. 6.
Plan PE Area For Community
The physical education complex being planned for College of the Canyons will provide excellent facilities, not only for instructional and intercollegiate athletic use, but also for the community recreational program. It will include a gymnasium, fully equipped gymnastics area, a dance room, a weight-lifting room, badminton and tennis c our ts and an enclosed swirrtmirrg pool.
In addition, a 6,000 seat stadium will be built to accommodate athletic contests as well as all types of community programs.
All facilities are being planned with full community use in mind. It is hoped that not only students, but all members of the community of all ages, will take advantage of these facilities.
The gymnasium will seat 2,400 people for basketball games, and is also being designed for use as an auditorium which will seat approximately 3,000 people. This will be the largest indoor facility in the valley and will be used for a variety of programs such as plays, concerts, forums, speeches, and rallies. The gym will also provide space for badminton, volleyball, and basketball courts which will be available for use by the community recreation pro
gram.
The swimming pool will be the only one of its kind in the community. Because it will be indoors, the pool will be available year-round and at all hours of the day for instructional purposes and community use. It will be 25 yards long with seven lanes for competition. Many community organizations have alr.eady indicated their desire to use this facility.
If the bond issue on Feb. 6 is successful, construction on the PE complex is scheduled to start Sept., 1973, and should be completed by Jan., 1975.
The stadium, which will be fully lighted, could be completed by fall, 1973, and plans are now being made to host the local high schools and Co11ege of the Canyons' football games this autumn.
Auto Programs Face Expansion

A successful bond election on F eb. 6 will assure installation of a permanent automotive facility in the Mechanical Technology building at COC. Start of construction is scheduled for early next fall.
The auto facility will enable the college's transportation program to offer the latest technology in the field, technology pertinent to new test procedures dictated by state and federal standards and by the automobile industry.
As a public service, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (NIASE) soon
Student Center Will Fill Need
College of the Canyons' Student Activity Center, also known as the Humanities building , will provide for the educational as well as the extra-curricular needs of COC students and the surrounding community.
In education, the center will contain teaching laboratory facilities for the music de,partment and learning spaces for vocational programs in restaurant and hotel management.
COC activity program facilities, now so inadequate in the temporary buildings, wil 1 be greatly improved in the new quarters. The dining room, for example, will also serve as a theater for campus productions. It will also be used for school dances which are now held in the Hart High School cafeteria.
Meeting areas, such as the student lounge , will be available
to al~ campus and community
groups.
The center also will house
faculty offices, a bookstore,

health center, and student government offices.
The Student Activity Center inevitably will become a focus of campus and community activities.
will certify auto mechanics as competent in the fields of frontend alignment; brakes~ manual and automatic transmiss.ions; rear axles; air conditioning; heating; tune up; emission controls, and
engine overhaul.
COC's transportation programs virtually parallel those of NIASE. Students completing COC's courses should be able to pass the examinations required by the NIASE for certification.

BON DS TO BOOST VOC-TECH PLANS
A successful Feb. 6 bond election will provide two muchneeded buildings for vocational technical (voe-tech) programs at

coc.

One, the Mechanical Technology building, will provide a permanent home for shop-related programs such as automotive, motorcycle, auto body, welding, appliance re pair, air conditioning, electronics, plastics, quality control, and home economics.
At present, only the automotive, motorcycle, and electronics programs are offered.
The second, the Business Education building, will house police science, drafting, sales and marketing, supervision/ management, early childhood education, library technology, fire control, real estate, water treatment, computer science, ornamental horticulture, and arts and crafts.
This building also will contain a nursing and a11ied health facility.
Voe-tech education is defined as leading to employment at less than the four-year college level. Currently, almost 30 per cent of total student hours (day and night) are in voe-tech classes at COC.
With the proposed new facilities, the percentage should increase to more than 40.
Voters who need trans portation to the polls on election day (Feb. 6) may make arrangements for a round trip by calling 259-3426 between 10 a.m. and 12 noon.

Police Science Classes Boom
By Lt. John O'Brien
As a member of the California

Highway Patrol for 17 years,
chiefly in the Newhall area, I
have seen this community and
the local CHP operations grow
in many ways.
Prior to the establishment of

College of the Canyons in 1969,
only a few of our officers attend
ed college. Today, however, 34
of the 55 officers currently sta
tioned here are attending or have
attended Police Science classes
at COC.
Benefits to the community stemming from COC's Police Science program are numerous. One of the most satisfying and important is the increased prnfessionalism of our officers.
A second boon, one less easy

to evaluate but probably even
more valuable, is the day-by-day
contact between the college com
munity and the professional po
liceman.
At a time when communication

between the community and the
police is particularly essential,
the COC environment profits
both.
Currently, 160 fu11-time peace officers are enrolled in the COC program as well as 45 students who intend to go into the law enforcement field.
Class members represent the CHP, the Sheriff's Department, and the Los Angeles Police Department as well as law enforcement agencies in Beverly Hills, Burbank, and San Fernando.
On the personal side, I have already received many benefits and anticipate many more. I graduated from COC and two daughters, Kathy and Karen, are students now.
The existence of COC has enabled them to continue living at home while completing half of their college work. Obviously, this is good for the family pocketbook.
I'm proud to have taught COC's first class in 1969, and I've instructed at least one class each quarter ever since. COC's steady growth is reflected in my class enro11ments, which bega_,n with about 12 students and now number 70 (in the Vehicle Code class).
My experience as a student and teacher provides an unusual perspective of the value of COC to this community.
In my opinion, Co11ege of the Canyons is an invaluable addition to our community and it is absolutely essential that it continues to grow.
More than 400 military veterans currently attend College of the Canyons, with about 275 drawing educational assistance.
Most veterans who have served at least 181 days since Jan. 31, 1955, are entitled to 36 months of educational assistance, enough, in most cases to earn a four-year degree.

Success of Bond Election Assures Constru,tion of Permanent Campus
Students who expect to be granted an Associate in Arts degree at the close of this academic year must file a petition for graduation in the Office of Admissions and Records. Only those who do so will be considered as candidates for graduation. All petitions should be filed by March 1.
valley really want this college," Dr. Rockwell said. "ffhey realize its great value and wish to see it completed."

The public obviously was aware that the total economics of the bond election provided a great opportuhity. Taxes will be reduced and yet College of the Canyons will acquire its permanent buildings.
" The election was a bargain and the people knew it," Dr. Rockwell said.
"bast week's successful bond election represents c o mm unity endorsement of our college program," said Robert C. Rockwell, superintendent-president.
"College of the Canyons has already made a major impact on this community. Passage of the bonds now insures that the people of this area will have a firstrate college. The election was a community achievement!'
District voters approved an $8 million bond issue on Feb. 6 by an overwhelming vote of 3,618 to 922. The near 80 per cent endorsement is considered unusually high in light of current trends of voters to reject s imilar elections.
The "!Yes" vote was district wide, with the bond issue winning approval in all 28 precincts.
"The result of the e lection
indicates that the people of this COC's president credited the
successful election to a well
organized campaign conducted
in concert by community leaders,
students, and the college staff.
He paid particular tribute to
some 40 community leaders who
served on the Citizens' Commi
tee to Complete College of the
Canyons, Co-chairmen were
Elisha Agajanian, Santa Clarita
National Bank board chairman,
and Blake V. Blakey, Newhall
manager of Anawalt Lumber &
Materials Co.
"The dedication of members of this citizens' committee to the college and the community was simply outstanding," Dr. Rockwell emphasized.

Editorial

The word apathy as defined by Websters Dictionary states: " ,Without feeling, release or freedom from passion, excitement, or emotion. Unfortunately, I believe this atmosphere prevails among many students at College of the Canyons.
I look around and see unattached, unfeeling people who appear to be functioning like mechanical robots although they tend to label it pursuit to an advanced education.
I see clubs on campus dying from lack of membership. I see Student Senate meet in gs unattended while the music the band plays bounces off empty walls. I see speakers come to our campus and address a handful]. I see Student Senate meetings unattended by students. I see the Suggestion Box filled with torn paper, gum wrappers, and cigarette butts, and I ask WHY?
From some students I hear the pathetic excuse that school is strictly a place to learn.
I agree, but learning comes in many different forms. I find it sickening for people to believe
,. that growth stems only from textbooks. People today are supposed to
1

be more aware than ever before.
I laugh. How can anyone be aware when he is stagnant? How can anyone expect to improve the world around him when he refuses to participate even in events on this campus--such as a dance, free movie, or p_lay.
Complaining about how terrible college social life is won't help. That's "high school." What right do students have to complain if. they refuse to attend the events offered to them?
I charge that these students carry this apathetic attitude into the classroom.
If you think this article is bitter, you're right. If this article irritates you , I'm glad. Perhaps you will be motivated to resurrect yourselves from your apathetic ruts, but I doubt it. It's easier to complain than to participate.
I challenge any student to write a rebuttal to this editorial. I doubt anyone will.
YOU ARE APATHETIC.

Monday, Feb. 19, will be a school holiday in honor of Washington's birthday.

SENATE JUGGLES STUDENT POSTS
By Rick Signoretti
The Student Senate has just

completed its reorganization of
officers and assigned duties for
each of these positions.
The Sophomore class presi

dent is now being filled by Jolene
Moore with Donna Cooksey now
holding down the post of secre
tary/historian for the Student
Senate.
The author of this column has

resigned from the posts of social
committee chairman, concert com
mittee chairman, and assistant
publicity committee chairman.
The jobs have been taken over by
Duane Nichols. The reason !have
stepped down is because of the
general apathetic attitude of the
students on this campus, including various individuals on the Student Senate.
Unfortunately, the rock concert that was to be held this year has been eliminated.
The Student Senate is presently discussing two points of interest in regard to instruction on this campus. Should a student be given the opportunity to retake a final exam and should a student be allowed to receive a "Withdrawal" from a class after receivdng a "D" or "F" grade. The final decision has not yet been reached , but all indications point to an ultimate "No" vote.
The Student Senate would like to congratulate all students who exercised their franchise to vote on the bond election and to those who assisted in making this ef
fort a complete success. The senate wishes to remind students that its meetings are

Women's Liberation. The name itself sets off a battery of emotions in both men and women. Yet the term is a misnomer, implying that only the female of the species has been oppressed and discriminated against. A more fitting term would be ",Human Liberation'.'
Behavioral scientists now agree that most character traits are learned, rather than a product of our genetic make-up. True, we are governed by our heritage to a small extent,
We are learning that we play the roles we do because we a r e taught from babyhood that a girl's interests lie in babysitting and cake decorating, while a boy's lean to baseball and motorcycles.
Would it be possible completely to reverse the traditional sex roles that we play, excepting the basic anatomical ones? If we were taught from childhood that a woman is strong, aggressive, domineering, and ambitious, while the male is suited to cooking, cleaning, and sewing, would we grow up believing that tripe as readily as we do the reverse?
We definitely would. Many animals have been taken from their natural environment when only a few hours old, and placed in a completely foreign one. They matured quite readily. Witness the orphan kittens nursed and raised by a dog. True, the cat will always have the anatomical
features of a cat. yet his be
havior patterns will mirror the
dog rather than the cat.

There have been many documented cases of white children leading the life of the Indian after capture. Dustin Hoffman. in " 1E,itt le Big Man." depicted this transformation. As a child. he was captured by the Indians, certainly the antithesis of his natural white family. He was able successfully to undergo the change, as did many of the white captives, and survive happily enough until he tried to switch environments once more.
It would be interesting to take a group of childreuand raise them in opposite sex roles. Train them that the woman's role is to earn a living and support a family. Teach the male child to " ,love, honor, and obey" his future wife. Instruct the males in the arts of cooking, sewing, housekeeping, and child care. Encourage the girl children to pursue careers in law, engineering, and politics.
Most -important, don't forget to mold their personalities into the proper categories. Drill into the male mind that he is more emotional than the female, and, therefore, couldn't possibly hold a position cal ling for important decision-making. Tell the girls that they must not reveal any emotion such as grief, tenderness , or sensitivity: they must always present the facade of strength and decisiveness.
These children would be considered freaks and misfits.

TRACK SEASON OPENS FRIDAY
By Ed Roach
The COC track and field team
wil1 officia]]y open its 1973 sea
s on here February 16 against
Antelope Va11ey. After enjoying
several very successful seasons
while competing in the Desert
Conference League (1st in 1971
and 2nd in 1972), Coach Ed Ja
coby's spikesters will move up
into the tougher Western States
Conference league. This league
has in the past produced some
outstanding track and field ath
letes.
The Cougars will a pen the season with .three nationally ranked athletes, two of whom are returning from last year. Ther7 are distant runner Jim Bonne]] and half miler Howard Hockenberry who will be joined by Monroe High School prep standout, Tim Quinn, pole vaulter.
Coach Jacoby feels that the quarter mile event will be the team's strongest race with such standouts as John Samarco, Kevin Hocque, Hockenberry, Ron Stewart and Ron Polk. Stewart recorded a fine time of 48.8 in the quarter mile in a mile relay recently.
F or the firs t t i me in the school's short history, the Cougars have good strength in the sprints with Juan Campbell, Dorian Burton and Laszlo Farcus.
Strong performances are expected in the mile and three mile runs by sophomoreJimBonnelland freshman Ed Marynowski, both outstanding cross country performers.
Good performances are expected as the season progresses from weight men Bill Adkins and Bob Mackay in the shot put and discus. Last year's weak events, the intermediate hurdles and the high jump, show some promise with Mark Funk returning from a two year layoff and Rick Stewart, Kevin Watts and Mike Pendleton.
Coach Jacoby is anticipating a tough season, but feels that the cha11enge of this new league will produce some outstanding performances by members of the team. The season will be highlighted by a road trip to the Arizona Relays at Mesa in April.
In addition to Antelope Va]]ey, home meets this season include Mira Costa, March 3, and Glendale and West Los Angeles, March 30.
Alpha Gamma Sigma will meet at noon Friday, Feb. 16, in Room G-4; Members are urged to attend.

Opinion
By Dwight Mikkelsen

Anyone who willingly supports professional athletics is helping to destroy the whole meaning of sports beyond recognition. And sadly, this bastardization is being carried on at nearly all other levels of athletic participation.
Sports were designed to give enjoyment to those participating, not to win-oriented coaches or beer-bellied spectators. But somewhere along the line, the idea of getting rich got the system of priorities turned around.
Now w e ' r e fa c e d with the somewhat humorous absurdities as win-loss records, fight songs, cheerleaders, and inspirational sayings from the late Vince Lombardi reminded me of Captain Wrong-way Peachfuzz when he vomited forth the memorable proverb, "iWinning isn't everything; it's the only thing."
Those who think that winning is the most important objective in sports are sadly confused. Bragging about your team's winloss record is like handing out cigars 1 for your wife's afterbirth,
,.not your baby. Winning or losing is a side effect; like contracting syphilis from the best contact of your life.
Kip Keino (Olympic gold medalist and distance running star) s a y s a b o u t w i n n i n g, ' 'As a sportsman, I accept being beaten. Everybody tries to be a winner,
but only one in a race will win. I accept this. It's fun to win. It's fun to lose. I don't fi'nd unhappiness if I lose."
Roger Bannister, the first man to break the four-minute mile, said, "We s.eek individual freedom in a world that, ofnecessity,
. imposes more and more restrictions. The less we find freedom in our work, the more we shall need to find freedom in the games we play."
Unfortunately, many athleticsupporting, money-hungry institutions don't feel this way. Most "ath-elites" are taught that losing is a disgrace to their schools and communities.
Many athletes are turned into adolescent robots, subjugating their bodies to every whim of the almighty coach, who in turn, is controlled by the almighty dollar.
Athletes will cut their hair, shave their faces, scream sadistic chants together, and give up their individuality for the sake of "the team." They get so tangled in a web of public recognition, rules, schedules, times, places, and other superficial activities that they lose sight of the beautiful aloneness and togetherness that sports offer.
Getting together with ourselves, others, the air, and the earth is the whole idea behind sports. I'd hate to believe that independent thinking, tafaing with others, running, and breathing are superficial activities. But maybe that's what our dash for dollars has made the athlete become by "Civilization-1973 ."
Maybe that's how poor we've become in the process of getting rich.

Bond Election

(Cont'd. from Page l) ledged the significant contributions made by students and college faculty and staff members.
"Students contributed mightily by taking the message home to their parents and to the public at 1arge and by their door-todoor campaigning," he said.
Coordinator Robert Berson, assistant superintendent, business services, also paid tribute to the many who worked so hard to put over the bond election.
"The unusual success of the bond election represents the superb effort, cooperation, and spirit of the citizens of this community and the students and the college staff working together in a common cause," he said.
"The community did itself a good turn and should be congratulated."
COC students felt pretty good about the victory, too. Neil McAuliffe, president of the Associated Student Body, said the success of the bond issue "makes the dream of this community a reality."
"College of the Canyons, in

its infancy, has already proven to
be a leader in academics, ath
letics, and student involvement
throughout the state," he said.
"Now we have the opportunity to
excel in new areas and to offer a
more comprehensive education
to our growing student body.
"It is evident by the number

of voters who turned out in the
rain that COC students were
largely responsible for the over
whelming success of the election.
"'.fhe many students who de

voted their time to work for the
completion of our college deserve the gratitude of the student body and the members of our community for many years to come:4
What happens now?

Bonds will go on sale within the next 60 days so that COC immediately can begin its building program, said Berson.
Advertising for bids will take place in March and contracts will begin by the end of next month.
The first structures going up are the Classroom, Laboratory, and Student Activity buildings, and a number of other campus development projects classified under Site Work III and IV-A.
Included in the latter is COC's 6000-seat stadium. Administrators hope work will be advanced . sufficiently by next fall to permit the Cougars to play several, if not all, football games on their own field for the first time.
Four thousand five hundred seats will be located on the west side and 1,500 on the east. The project also includes installation of a press box, scoreboard, and lights.
COC also is waiting for state authorization to go ahead with working drawings for the Vocational-Technical buildings and the gymnasium-pool complex.
Construction of these projects is expected to start next fall.
A secondary beneficial result of the election was its effect on COC-community re lations, Dr. Rockwell said.
"The e 1e ct ion campaign brought us all together. Our faculty served as one; the leaders in this community who rallied behind our common cause are closer to us than ever before, and the people of this district learned much more about us than, perhaps, they knew before."
It's Basebal I

Time At COC
"We 're strong on the mound, but our biggest concern is at the plate," said Coach Mike Gillespie in summing up the outlook for COC's Cougar baseball team this season.
The pitching mainstays are Joey Giazomazzi, Mike Holt, Ed McElroy, and Steve Knaggs, with Steve West, Gary Pawlak, and Tom Ottman rounding out a deep mound staff which will be joined by Jimmy Carter when the basketball season ends.
"We have a pretty good staff of college pitchers," said Gilles pie. "We'll hold our own in the league."
Gillespie expects the toughest league test will come from Allan Hancock which last year won the state small-school title and twice defeated Fresno, the state large-school champions.
Stiff games also are expected from two more powerhouse teams in the Western States Conference in which the Cougars will be competing for the first time. These teams are Ventura and Santa Barbara.
While quietly optimistic about his team, ("best team in COC history"), the coach pulls no punches about his respect for the 1973 squad.
"I have no disciplinary problems at all," he said. "ffhe players are cooperative and obviously love the game. They're having a good time and that makes life easier for the coach."
Gillespie's biggest concern is at the plate. Best current hitters are Robert Corrales, Don Hyatt, and Rick Campbell, with MarkCrnkovich and KevenShibuya right behind.
The starting team and batting

order for the Orange Coast Col
lege Tournament lastweeklooked
like this:
Shibuya, 2nd base; Crnkovich,

3rd base; Hyatt, centerfield; Cor
rales, shortstop; Campbell, right
field; Bruce Rosenblum, lstbase;
Jerry Slimak, left field, and
Wayne Foglesong, catcher.
others on the squad are Ken

Brock, Lavon Chalk, Tom Jack,
SumnerKubinak, andLen Mohney.
The Cougars first home games

will be February 21-22-23-,--24
as.hosts of the COC Tournament.
NEW VOCAL GROUP

The Twelve-Tones. newly formed campus vocal group, will perform publicly for the first time at a noon concert Thursday, Feb. 22, in the Student Lounge.
The new ensemble will be but one of three groups singing on the program sponsored by the music department.
NEW FILM SERIES

The first in a series of movies sponsored by COC's film committee will be presented Tuesday, Feb. 13., in the Student Lounge.
"iA Man Called Harse," starring Richard Harris, will be presented at 10 a.m., 12 noon. and again at 3 p.m. Admission is a donation for a local charity.

Vol. III, No. 10 ' COLLEGE OF '."L"'HE CANYONS
March 5. 1973

Baseball Cougars Are "Contenders": Gillespie
The question mark has been erased. College of the Canyons' Cougar baseball team definitely wil1 be a contender in the Western States Conference t}1is year.
This optimistic assessment was made by Coach Mike Gillespie following his team's per.formance in the recent COC Tournamynt, which the Cougars won easily.
COC defeatedAntelope Valley 3-0 , Santa Monica 9-3, and Antelope Valley again 16..-7 in taking the first-place trophy. Glenwon the final game.
But Coach Gillespie knew he had good hurlers. What surprised him pleasantly was the stick work, particularly by Mark Crnko vich, Len Mohney, and Bruce Rosenblum. Left fielder Crnkovich pounded out 5 for 14 in the tournament anct drove in 7 runs. Third baseman Mohney batted 500 (5 for 10) and recorded 4 RBIs. Rosenblum, first baseman, also drove in 4runs, hitting 5 for 12.
Gillespie listed the top performers so far this season as
Nexus, a rock group that en.tertained students on camPUS,: during the bond election drive, will perform for COC's next dance Friday, March 16, at the Hart High cafeteria. Dancing starts at 9 p.m.
A new member, playing the acoustic guitar and flute, has been added to the group which features tunes by Jethro Tull and EmersonLake & Palmer.
This dance is a "test" case. Attendance will determine .if such dances, frequently patronized by only a few students, in the past, are to continue. Come to dance or just to
listen. But come!
CITE COUGARS AT BANQUET
COC's basketball,cross country, and wrestling teams will be honored at a winter sports award banquet at 7 p.m., Tuesday (March 6) in Newhall Bowl, Newhall.

Editorial

received three letters in rebuttal to my recent editorial on "apathy." The three are printed in this issue. I elected to answer the letter from Laurie Shane printed on this page.
I agree, Laurie, that the word "dislike" is an expression of an emotion and I therefore, 'does not satisfy the ,"pure" dictionary definition of the word "apathy." But nothing is totally ,"pure," particularly with reference to definitions. We have love and hate, war and peace, and like and dislike. .and many gradations in between.
I can't rationalize that the majority of .students are not attending the wide variety of activities offered on this cam pus simply because they dislike them. If they do dislike them, why are no suggestions made to alter them? Students are responsible for the success of an activity. Therefore, the problem rests with the students, not the activities.
When the school sponsors any activity it is not interested in making money. It is interested only 1n providing an enjoyable, s~ocial outlet for the student. If money were the motive, we'd be be bankrupt.
Approximately 1,700 students attend this college. Of this number I estimate at least 500 have no other obligation than school. When 100 students attend a dance, 35 see a movie, and 15 view a drama presentation, and when the Ecology club and other clubs list only five to 10 active members, -something is wrong with the student,not the activity.
I also agree that the educati onal system could use some restructuring, but let's not place most of the blame there. School and life itself are what we make them and if things are a drag, it's because we, individually. make them that way.
You're right again, Laurie.

They were my expectations and
mirrored my own values and
beliefs.

When I dedicate 100 per cent of myself to the success of an activity, and feedback is only 5 per cent, you're absolutely right. I am disappointed.
I realize that each individua1 is somehow unique. But I alsu believe that in someways we are like all the rest of mankind.
If we were all so totallyuniquE, there would be no need_ for any (Cont'd on Page 4)

"Call" Invites letter Response
The Canyon Call is starting a Letters to the Editor column. This service will give the student a chance to voice his or her opinion on any subject, to make complaints, and to offer suggestions. The one restriction that will be enforced: obscenity will be blue-pencilled. Students should deposit letters in the specified box located in the library. We hope students will take advantage of this opportunity to express themselves.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

After reading your editorial on "apathy," many things come to mind. I can see your point. I'm sure what you say is true for the most part. However, you must by now have looked around at the world as a whole. Apathy is not just a problem at COC; it's a problem everywhere.
Unless you have discovered some secret of life that has escaped those who have lived before us, you will just have to resign yourself to the fact that it (apathy) does exist.
Unfortunatly, it looks like a problem that's here to stay. How many people go through life and miss the whole thing? I'd say
most.
The only consolation you and people like you have, is the realization that you are the lucky onesyou have that drive to get involved, born in you. The rest of the world will just have miss out. But, Rick, the world's apathetic people have a debt to you and others like you, because without those who know how to live, without those who care, life

and caring would have ended-] ong ago.
Of course, you must realize this debt will most likely go unpaid. Sorry.
Kathy Plank
Look around, Rick. There are

people who feel. who generate
excitement and who possess emo
tion. But you may have to look
hard because -there aren't many
of us.
You admit in your editorial that you base your judgment of students on minute samplings of attitudes. I, for one, participate in three on-campus clubs. I care what happens at Student Senate meetings even though I can't attend all of them. You are taking liberties by putting down the entire student body and charging that none of us cares.
One of my clubs is Viewpoints, with a membership of five (six, including William Baker, our advisor). We are few, but we care. We participate. I received a certificate of excellence at a forensics tournament at UCLA. I tried very hard to have it announced in the paper. I cared enough about this school to let students know that our efforts had brought recognition to COC. I said our efforts, not mine.
In another article in the paper you said you had resigned from all your responsibilities (on various committees). It appears you haven't enough feeling for COC to stick it out.
With reference to being apathetic, I suggest you take a long look at yourself.

REBUTTAL
By Laurie Shane
In the last edition of T ne

Canyon Call, a COC student
claimed that an atmosphere of
apathy prevails throughout this
campus. The definition of apathy
was defined as: "Without feel
ingor emotion." The student
made further claims that this
"apathy" is the reason behind
lack of attendance at school
club meetings, games, and
dances.
I feel that the term apathy

was used incorrectly. Lack of
student involvement can stem
from different feelings. Perhaps
some students dislike school
activities, or maybe their lives
revolve around their job and home
life, and school in itself expends
too much time. But, by just using
the word "dislike" one is im
plying an emotion. Therefore,
there can be no apathy.
I also believe that if few stu

d en ts are attend in g school
events, then maybe it's time to
evaluate these events. Are they
fun? Do they draw interest? I ,r
don't have the answer. But it
is a possibility.
It is also important to consi

der the school itself. COC is a
junior college, for some students
a place of waiting until accep
tance by another _institution. For
some, it is just a place to learn
one or two subJects m tneu
spare time.
I have been sitting here defending the students, when really I shouldn't have to. Perhaps the whole idea of the educational system has been lost. I have always thought it the duty of the school to provide various outlets or activities for the student so that he may follow his interests as he wishes. If money seems to be a problem (as with a dance) and coverage of costs is not assured, then steps should be taken to get an' estimated amount of attendance.
I think that most of us agree

with the editorialist that stu
dents do not have a right to com
plain about the activities if they
refuse to attend them, or don't
do anything to improve then.
The main downfall is this: the

author expects others to attend
school activities. When the stu
dents do not attend, they fall
short of his expectations, and,
as a result, he feels disappoint
ment. We must never expect too
much of others. If we do, we are
not only making judgments of
them, but are placing our values
on others. That is being unreal
istic.
G r o w t h s t e m s fr o m m any

things, Rick. Perhaps an out
wardly directed growth is what . some are seeking. I don't know.
I have never in my life met an

apathetic individual. Freedom
from some kind of emotion is al
most impossible.
Until you realize how uniquely

different every individual on
this campus is, you will con
tinue to make blind statements.
Take is easy, Rick, and re

member that everyone is doing

Opinion
AMNESTY POLL
By Tom Zwart

Now that the cease-fire is in effect in Vietnam and POWs are bn their way home, what's going to happen to the thousands of men who because of p'hilosophical
( or other) reasons either evaded
the draft or deserted after in
duction?

President Nixon has stated that there will be no general amnesty while he's in office. The men who went " over the hill"
will have to pay in jail or by working for a government agency. Under any circumstances, the m~n cannot return to this country without the threat of immediate arrest.
When a person was called to duty by the military to fight in Vietnam and refused, he was labelled a coward or commie pinko. I recognize that it is traditional and patriotic to support one's country when called upon to fight no matter if that country is right or wrong and regardless of circumstances or . personal feelings one may have.
History has already recorded that Americans wanted the war to end. We realize we were wrong in getting involved at all.
History also proved Hitler wrong with his war, I wonder what happened to the many Germans who hid from their army because they tnought Hitler's war was immoral?
Do you look down on them as cowards who fled their patriotic duty or do you see them for what they really were--inte lligent men who saw through all the flag-waving -corruption?
I asked a number of people about their feelings on amnesty. Here are some responses:
Roger Waldon--I'm not in favor of complete amnesty. I feel that those who deserted their country should pay some price. The price could be service in the Peace Corps, Vista, or some other federally funded program.
Dr. Al Adelini--It's a tough question. I believe each case must be handled individually.
Pete Berson--! feel that they should be given amnesty after they work in a federal program such as Goodwill for a year. If history vindicates Richard Nixon's action in Vietnam, then history will vindicate the draft evaders and deserters. Most importantly, the latter have vindicated themselves in their own minds.
Jolene Moore--They should not be readmitted -to the United States scott free, but should serve in Vista or the Peace Corps. Perhaps a national committee of distinguished citizens from all walks of life should be named to decide their fate.
Steve Mackey--! think the evaders should be let back into this country but I also think that those who complied and fought will feel that an injustice has been done them. It should be a matter of . record that they (deserters and evaders) refused to serve and to fight.

Dog Dumping Is Condemned
By Judi Conklin

A COC student saw a frightened dog in the middle of Calgrove Blvd. last week. Stopping her car, she coaxed the dog in and brought it home.
. While examining the dog, she discovered it was pregnant and due. She contacted the owners whose name she found on the dog's collar. When told by the owner that the dog was not lost but had been purposely dumped bec~use of the pregnancy, she reallzed the dog was another vie ti_m of thoughtless people who discard an animal when they have no use for it.
The owners were forcing the dog to suffer from their own mis
take. Failing to keep the dog
away from their Cocker Spaniel
when she was in season and

realizing that they would soon be presented with a litter of mongrels, they dumped her.
Dog dumping is so popular because the owner cannot afford a large litter of new dogs he doesn't know what he '11 do ~ith the pups after they're w.eaned and it's easier to dump one do~ than 10. None of these reasons is justifiable because there are alternatives to dumping the ani mal.
A number of organizations help in placing unwanted pets, and share the cost of spaying. Pet Assistance provides these services in our area.
Euthanasia, or putting the dog to sleep, is a much more humane method of solving the problem. Depending on the size of the animal, a veterinarian will charge between $5 and $10.
Relatively few people know about the third choice. This is the termination of the pregnancy.

Runners Face Many Hazard~
By Dwight Mikkelsen

(The authof of this feature is a member of the High Sierra'l;'rack Club. Dwight , to use his own words, is "One of those nuts" who runs just for the fun of it.)
There is much more to distance running than donning a sweat suit and prancing along .a road for a couple of hours like an idiot. In trying to explain this this type of idiosyncrasy, which is much harder than the running itself, there are two things working against me.
One is that others think I'm crazy and the other is that I tend to agree with then I must admit, that my sport, as much as I Jove it, is somewhat weird.
There are many burdens to bear while running. One is dogs. To many of "man's best friends'; running is a sin tantamount to adultery or first degree murder.
Just the other day I was tripping merrily around a golf course when I was confronted by two man-hungry dogs, eyeing my legs as if they were top sirloin.
I stopped, Instantly, with keen observation and split-second decisioning (more commonly known as fear), I saw a way out. I started inching my way towards one of those sma11 receptacles that golfers, the great athletes they are, put their empty beer cans in.
r Tiftea the trash can above my head and hurled it at the dogs with herculean strength and Gomer Pyle accuracy~ I must have looked h~roic. At any rate, the dogs got the mess-age and I was able to finish my run with a feeling of accomplishment, much like what Julius Caesar must have felt after conquering Rome. TRASHA CANA !ACTA EST!
Another problem with running is other people with their elusive sense of humor; that is to say Jack of it. It never fails.
I'm running along the road minding my own business, when some bri11iant comedian sticks his (pointed) head out of a car window and ye11s in army cadence, "Hup-two-three four ."
This is about as original and

funny as the one photographers
always get, "Her face wi11 break
the camera!"
One time I was running down

a lone country road when a group
of inte11igent young men drove
by. I could te11 they were literate
by the way they glibly quoted
from Ashley Montagu's book,
"The Art of Sw~aring ".
T hey were even kind enough to throw me beer cans (they were empty though) and hail me with one-finger salutes.
Their car broke down about five minutes later about six miles from the nearest phone. I said nothing and just ran by with a smile on my face.
I could go on for hours with other anecdotes, but I think you get the idea. Runners just want to be left alone (except, maybe, for an occasional friendly "Hi"). Is this really too much to ask?

I think too many people are escaping behind the mask of, "f.'m doing my own thing.." There. is nothing wrong when you are, but when you use this as a game, you fool no one but yourse1f.
I do agree what is right for others is not always right for all , but I think that when I receive three letters in rebuttal from an enrol1ment of 1,700 students, something is wrong, and I think this proves my point.
But I'm not trying to prove a point. I'm not trying to demonstrate a right or wrong. All I'd like to see is growth. lf students don't want to attend activities fine. But I do believe they should at ]east first attend these activitiesat least oncebefore simply cancelling them out.

Dog Dumping

Information on this safe and effective procedure may be difficult to obtain. Most veterinarians will not volunteer it because the more animals born, the better their business is. If your vet won't give the injections, go to another who wil1.
It is imperative that we end the animal population boom, but dumping a dog, along with the responsibility, is not going to do it.

Yes, Rock Must
Be That Loud
By Laura Raynor

The Nexus musical group, which will play for COC's next dance on Friday, March 16, per
formed during the lunch hour on campus not too long ago.
While I walked toward the

music, I overheard a teacher ex
claim, "Jj)oes it have to be so
loud?" I thought she might have
a valid point, as I could clearly
hear the music across campus.
But there was something mis

sing in listening at that distance.
As I turned the corner, and was
hit by the full volume, I felt a
contagious excitement in the air.
I thought, in answer to the teacher's remark, yes, it does have to be so loud. That's part of rock. Although hard rock can be enjoyed at a lesser volume, sheer . volume is partly what makes it hard rock. The ex perience of live hard rock is not only in hearing the tunes, but in fee]ing the vibrations produced by the volume of music.
The hard rock of today can be compared to professional football. Professional footbal1 is rough; its fans enjoy the excitement produced by the great expenditure of energy by the p 1ayers. Flag footbal1 does not have the same effect on fans. It does not produce the excitement that tackle footba11 creates.
Turn down hard rock and the effect, the experience, the excitement the musician is trying to create is lost. I concede that it may be easier to listen to if the musicians turn down the volume a bit, just as flag football viewing is much easier on the nervous system. But when we go to a football game or rock concert, we are not going for a relaxing time. We are there for
excitement~
Music is an amazing phenomenon; it can change . to fit our moods. If we find ourselves in a meditative mood, classical music provides a beautiful escape. Blue grass music shapes itself to our down home moods. And for times wh.en we want pure and simple excitement, there is good hard rock.
Another on-campus musical combo was Chunky, with Tony Muhl as lead guitarist.
Tony, who has played all forms of music including classical, jazz, and countr,Y, said he is returning to rock because he enjoys the excitement that rock creates.
He suggests that rock musicians and listeners who sit too close to the amplifiers wear ear plugs. In this way it is possible to experience high level vibrations without damaging eardrums.
activities becausethey want to. For these people, the activities should continue.
We must remember that whatis right for some is not always right for others.

CLASSES START IN AUTO SHOP
Classes begin this week in the first major permanent building constructed on campus--the Auto-Maintenance facility located south of the baseball field.
Installation of equipment will c on t in u e, however, during the week as it is transferred from the temporary auto shop facilities used up to now at Pine St. in Newhall.
New equipment also is going in, including two hoists and para pher n al i a for the new steam area.
The new facility also provides for a fenced-in exterior parking area which was lacking at the old shop, and interior space for lO cars instead of only the four as heretofore.
Another advantage of the new
shop is a classroom area sep
arate from the garage itself.
The auto and motorcycle main
tenance classes will be con
ducted by Henry Endler, Marty
Dickerson I and J"0hn Barrett.
The new facility includes an auto shop, classroom, machine room, tool storage, wash and steam cleaning area, interior and exterior general storage and warehouse areas, and rest rooms equipped with showers.
The auto shop will be conducted here until its final home is ready in the up-coming Me.chanical Technology building.
Bids for the M-T building
will be let next September and
the target date for completion
of the structure, which will be
constructed behind (south) of the
Bonnelli Center, is January,
1975.
When the auto shop occupies
its permanent quarters in 1975,
the present new Auto-Maintenance
building will be used exclusively

Spiraling downward, the aircraft matched the circular and tense emotions of the cargo it carried.
Wheels screeched as rubber tires made contact with concrete pavement. Simultaneously, the thoughts that raced throu~h the minds of the human cargo came to a stop and a mechanical recording button was pushed to replace the once-thinking minds of the passengers.

To be perfectly honest, I am -appalled at the handling of the returning POWs.
I find it totally absurd that the first thing a man who has been imprisoned for six years would do is to congratulate President Nixon rather than just break down and cry from pure happiness.
I find it sickening to hear a man talk about "honor" in connection with something as barbaric as war while his wife and children whom he has not seen for six yea'rs stand patiently in the crowd.

UP TIGHT? JOG WITH "HPER 119"
By Laura Raynor

have run across a class which offers a refreshing break in my heavy school schedule. The positive attitude and lack of tension I feel about school since enrolling in HPER 119 thrills me so much I must speak out. HPER 119 is jogging.
I have enrolled in jogging every quarter. It has been satisfying and exhilerating. As a full-time student who works a 46 hour week, anything that lightens the load is appreciated.
Jogging in my schedule enables me to think more quickly and clearly, much of the exhaustion of my heavy load is gone, and the tedium of studying disappears. I feel well-rounded, alive, and energetic, not to mention the absolute glee that explodes in me as my lungs expand and my muscles work. It's much the same as playing tag at the age of six, a fee ling that I thought was gone from my life forever. The positive attitude of Coach Jacoby as well as his complete participation in the class makes jogging a joy to attend and a priceless addition to any student's schedule.

Dating System Is All Wrong
By Sue Miles
Dating is one of America's

most honored and treasured tra
ditions, Television advertise
ments depict the sweet young
thing worrying if Jimmy will like
her new dress, as her father tells
her she has bad breath. Andy
walks Betsy home and kisses
her with a Life Saver in his
mouth. Such episodes bring back
nostalgic memories to the old,
and hint of great things to come
for the young.
As the feminist sees it, this

practice thinly disguises various
other honored and treasured tra
ditions. Let us take two fictitious
characters, Fred and Bertha.
F red has just asked Bertha to
accompany him to a barn dance.
F or the price of an evening's entertainment, and perhaps a sna.ck afterward, Fred has rented Bertha's companionship. If F red plays his cards right, he mav even be able to rent Bertha's body. The dating system bears a marked resemblance to prostitution.
Bertha stands to gain from Fred's offer also. She '11 be able to get a free meal andentertainment for the evening. Much the same as the gold-digging chorus girl.
In the event that Fred and

Bertha decide to go steady, Fred
will be renting Bertha for a long
er period of time. Bertha wil1 be
able to rely on Fred as provider
for her entertainment needs.This
arrangement reminds one of the
politician who promises the moon
in governmental appointments to
his staff in return for 1its~ cam
paign efforts.
If Fred and Bertha had spent the evening with a member of the same sex, each would have paid his own way. They like and enjoy each other's company, and as each thinks of the other as an equal human being, the costs are split.
Isn't this ,supposed to be the reason that Fred asked Bertha out in the first place? Aren't Fred and Bertha two people who like being together? Then why should Fred be forced to pay for the entire evening?
If Bertha really desired Fred's company, and not the entertainment he could provide, she would be glad to pay her own way. If Bertha considers Fred as ahuman being first, and not merely an object to be dated, she should have no qualms about splitting costs.
This would obviously be the wiser move, as the pair would be able to spend twice as many evenings together if the financial burden was shared.
In the American dating syndrome, we find prostitution, golddigging, and deception.
FOLK DANCE CLUB

The International Folk Dance Club will meet during the spring quarter on Fridays from 6 :30 p.m. to 8 :00 p.m. in PE-1. Everyone is welcome.

Concurrent with spring on campus are band concerts in the center quad. COC's concert ensemble, under the baton of Robert Downs music instructor, has already presented one spring program and will do another one soon. The music draws large lunch-hour crowds.
Dance Passes Test With "A"
COC's "test" dance re
cently at the Hart High cafeteria
was a greats uccess, thus assur
ing continuation (and expansion)
of the dance program. More than
250 students and others attended,
and the event actually made
money, according to Rick Signor
etti, dance chairman.
A four-hour, two-band dance on campus for sometime in May is now is the planning stage. It will be a college-community af
fair and, in addition to the dancing and music, will include presentation of student-produced movies. A clothing and canned food drive to aid indians will be coordinated with the dance, Signoretti said.

COC Jazz Band Receives Kudo
College of the Canyons' Jazz Ensemble, under the baton of Robert Downs, music instructor, recently received the only award presented to 25 bands participating in the Orange Coast Jazz Ensemble Festival at Orange Coast college, Costa Mesa.
The award consisted of two musical arrangements for jazz groups presented by Russ vines, professional mus1cian-arrangercomposer from Las Vegas.
While no rankings were announced, the college groups were critiqued by a panel of seven judges.
After the college bands performed in the day-long program, Maynard Ferguson and his band from London presented a 2½-hour concert of contemporary jazz music.
COC's jazz group also recently took part in a joint benefit concert to help finance Canyon High School Stage Band's trip to the Reno Jazz Festival. More than $1,000 was raised.
A feature of the concert was the solo performance of Downs on the saxophone. Downs was a one-time member of the late Bunny Berigan's band which was famous during the ' 'big band" era of the 1930s.
OSCAR FOR 1-MAN FILM COMMITTEE
By Judi Conk I in
You know what you think when you hear that another committee has been formed? Ifyou 're like me, you probably figure,well, there's a bunch of guys getting together on the pretense of doing something positivefor the people, when we all know that most committees don't really do anything at all. Right?
Well, let me tell you, another committee was formed on campus not long ago, and this one is really producing!
The committee I'm talking about is the film committee. Its job is to acquire and present full-length feature films to the student body absolutely free of charge.
So far, the committee has done its job well. Four flicks-
A Man Called Horse, Daddy's Gone a Buntin', Little -Big Man, and Prime Cut--have already been presented, each to a standing-room-only crowd.
Currently, the committee and Dr. Al Adelini, dean of student activities, are planning a schedule of films for the spring quarter, with the budgetthe governing factor as to how many will be shown.
What makes this committee
so outstanding ( other than that it

Saga of Herman The Happy Hippie
By Dwight Mikkelsen
Herman was a hippie. He did

all of the things that good hippies
are supposed to do. He sat
around, drank cheap wine, smoked
dope, watched TV, and tried not
to think about the rest of the
world.
He had long, stringy hair, a

beard, and he wore weirdclothes.
Herman lived in a house with a
lot of other hippies (no one really
kne.w how many) who talked,
thought, dressed, and acted just
like Herman. All was bliss ex
cept for one thing. Herman's
parents were disappointed in him.
" Just look at you," his

mother said. "You 're dirty, apa
thetic, and living an immoral
life."
And his father said, "You

don't have any responsibility .
How can you live without se
curity?"
"Get a job," they both cried.

"Find a wife and become a re
sponsibile, secure citizen. Make
us proud."
But Herman never listened.

Good hippies already know what
they want. Oh . there was one
problem. Herman's mind was
disintegrating.
One day Herman's TV broke

there was no dope and no chea;
wine, and all his friends had
j ust been busted. Dazed by this
battering, Herman fell down a
flight of stairs and hit his head
on a 6-gallon waterpipe (the
kind you smoke). This was the
day Herman changed.
Herman got a haircut,ashave,

and a clean suit. He also got a
job. His new occupation was a
great service to America(Herman
read that in Reader's Digest).
His job went like this : Flat

pieces of cardboard arrived at
his station on the assembly line.
He pressed a button and pulled a
lever and made beautiful, pink
and orange boxes. The boxes
l at e r w e r e u s e d t o pa c kage
c heap, art if ic ally-aged wine
which was consumed with de
light by Middle-America. ,
Herman found his work very enjoyable and interesting--for about the first 15 minutes. He quickly learned that he could do all of his button-pushing without thinking about it. In fact , without thinking of anything at all. And that's just what he did.
His parents came to visit him and his wife (Herman was married now) and said , " ,1.ook at your nice house, clean clothes, and fine job. Now you have responsibility and security. We're so proud of you. Aren't you happy?"
"iYes, Mom and Dad," Herman replied. "Fm happy."
Then they all sat for an evening of watching TV and drinking cheap wine . All was bliss except for one thing. Herman's mind was still disintegrating.
Moral: If you're going to go through life doing as little thinking as possible, at least make your parents happy.
KEEP SMILING--HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF.

AGS SPONSORS FRISBEE MEET
By Marcia Kent
The campus chapter of Alpha Gamma Sigma, state-wide community college honor scholarship society , will sponsor a fri sbee contest in early May.
According to Roger Basham, faculty advisor and a candidate for the Frisbee Hall of Fame in Potful], Ark., the group desires to support a fun activity that will involve everyone--students, faculty, and staff--and help reduce the "apathy" about extracurricular activities on campus. A second purpose, he said, is to raise money for the scholarship fund.
Entry fees of $1 are planned for all contestants who will vie for 30 trophies.
Following International Frisbee association regulations, individual participants will compete for distance and accuracy. Teams also will compete.
Information sheets specifying rules will be available soon. For additional information, contact Basham or Bill Leach, AGS chapter president.
PLAN TWO-BAND SPRING DANCE
The year's first on-campus dance, the Indian Spring Festival, will be held Friday, May 18, with participation open to the entire community as well as students. Two rock groups will play for the affair.
Rick Signoretti, dance chairman, said that proceeds from the dance will go to the families of Mike Guild and George Davis, COC students who were killed in a car accident last week.
Plans also call for showing of student-produced movies from
7:30 to 9 p.m. prior to the dance.
One dance band will be Tony Muhl'sC hunky which has played at COC on several occasions. This combo will play from 9 to
10:30 p.m. The second band will be Juice. a red-hot rock group from the San Fernando Valley, which will perform from 10 : 30 o'clock to midnight.
A professional "Ji ght show" will function during the dance. ASB card holders will be admitted free, with others charged $1.

THIEVES RAID STUDENTS CARS
By Rick Signoretti
COC is plagued by a rash of thefts from students' cars parked on campus.
If you've reached your parked car and discovered that your tape deck is gone, or your tires are missing,or thatyou now have custom air-conditioning because your windshield has vanished, you know what I'm talking about.
Main purpose of this article is t-o make you aware of the epidemic of vandalism now taking p]ace ..and to warn thieves_that measures are being taken to stop it.
Among the solutions proposed is the levying of a student parking fee of $50 a year to pay the the cost of a permanent security patrol at each lot. Several colleges in the San Fernando Valley have adopted this measure.
We don't wish to go this route unless forced to do so.
A sheriff's patrol currenfly is making passes through the lots at various intervals.
If possible, park-your car in the Valencia Blvd.lot or the auto shop lot, both of which are easier to patrol. Measures have been taken to solve the problem.
Meanwhile, students with tape decks in cars are urged to conceal them if possible. And,

COC flags are at halfmast for the first time to mark the death of members of the c o 11 e g e family, in this case two students, Michael Guild, 24, of Saugus, and George Davis, 20, of N ewhal 1. The pair was killed instantly last Thursday night near Acton when their car went out of control and catapulted into a creekbed. Guild was married to the former Judy King, who attends COC. -Graveside services for Guild were held yesterday at Acton Cemetery and for Davis at Oakwood Cemetery in Chatsworth. The entire student body, faculty, and staff extends sympathy to the families of the young men who died much too early and much too sadly.

Senate Votes Campus Action
By Rick Signoretti

Spurred by student acceptance of entertainment movies on campus, the Student Senate recently voted to continue the film program. It is hoped that two movies a month will be shown during the spring quarter.
The Speakers committee will present ' Jack Nava, male hair stylist, again soon in the Student Lounge. He will be accompanied by a sec on d professional recently crowned the "world's champion hair stylist" and by professional female models who will demonstrate hair styles and fashions.
A student ping-pong tournament is-planned for the end of this month. To help solve the problem of poor publicity, the senate approved the hiring of five students to produce 10 posters each at $2 per poster for major campus events.
Charters for two new clubs-the Ceramics club and the Campus Crusade for Christ--were accepted, and the senate approved formation of a blood bank for students.Details of the latter project will be released soon.
The senate recently held an off-campus meet ing with Dr. Robert C. Rockwell, superintendent-president. Relevant topics as to the function of the college were discussed and the meeting was declared most worthwhile in helping to bridge the normal gap between students and the administration. Similar meetings will be conducted in the future.
The senate reminds students

that its meetings are held each M on day n o on in t he Board of Trustees room located in the Administration building. Everyone is,. welcome.

Students are also invited to deposi t suggestions or complaints relative to improvement of the college in a suggestion box provided for this purpose in the Student Lounge. The box is emptied once a week and letters are referred to the senate for appropriate action.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Recently I learned that some

people in state government are
planning to change the tuition
requirements of the state univer
sities and colleges and com
munity colleges .
According to an article in the

Los Ange Jes Times, state legis
lators may raise university tui
tion from $680 to $2041 a year
and at a state college from the
present $117 -$168 range to
$2047 per year. This would be
an increase of approximately
1700 per cent.
At the community college

level, where there is now no
tuition, they propose to estab
lish a tuition fee of $1040 per
year. What most affects the stu
dents at COC is the establish
ment of tuition at the community
leve l.
In the 1972 winter quarter here, the total number of students attending was 1756 of which 1103 were day and 653 were night students. Sixty per cent of night students are in v o c at ion a l programs, and the average of the total student body is about 21 years.
It appears from these figures that if this proposed legislation is passed, most day students will be forced to withdraw from college unless they obtain substantial additional financial assistance, and the education of the majority of night students
Opinion
By Charles Duran
Late to class? Not surprising.
Just for example, the snack

bar clock is 15 minutes ahead of
its mate in G-7 which, in turn,
is 7 minutes behind the clock in
the Activities office.
Of 17 clocks I polled recently on campus, four were 11 minutes slower than Mr. Snack-Bar Clock. Four others handed me times 12 minutes behind the same clock which had lied to me 10 minutes worth earlier in the day.
Four other clocks were minute faster than my vintage Timex, circa Christmas, 1967, and four more were 3 minutes ,.:;lower than my wristwatch, which that morning had been carefully synchronized with Miss Prudent Time of General Telephone and Electronics.
Two additional clocks also ignored the facts of time.
But do not dispair, fellow clock-watchers. There is one clock that does not speak with forked hands. You'll find it in the PE equipment room. J
This Einsteinian oasis--this marvelous refuge of relativity--is the domain of Fred Brown, equipment manager, and his dapper student assistant, John Samarco.
So.ifyou yearn to see honest, real, relevant time again, visit the PE building.
CongratulationsFred and John.
Plan For Four More Free Films

With a budget of $400 approved by the Stud e nt Senate, the film committee is selecting, hopefully, four more major motion pictures to show free to the student body during the spring quarter.
The first, "The Grasshopper': starring Jim Brown and Jacque1ine Bisset, was scheduled to be projected in the Student Lounge last week.
Chairman Duane Nichols said he hopes to get "Goo] Hand Luke," starring Paul Newman, for a campus showing April 24~
He hopes money will hold out to permit showing of two additional pictures of comparable qua]i_ty later in the spring.
will be jeopardized because of additional financial strain.
Is it fair to force students out of school and into an intellectual and financial rut simply because some politicians feel the government needs more money? The supposed, purpose of an educational institution is to provide a place to learn, not to create a big-business organization interested in profit-making.
Our Student Senate has discussed plans to send a letter opposing this bill to the state legislature. I suggest the students of COC do everything they can to make sure this propo sect legislation is not passed.

Set Schedule For Club Week
By Charles Duran

College of the Canyons' first Club Week (April 16-20) activities include a rock band concert tree-planting ceremony, vw' "Bug" pushing race,bean-counting contest, art show, and scuba gear demonstration and film, announced Roger Walden, Inter-Club Council president who is spearheading the program.
The Ecology club (SURE) was
scheduled to plant a tree during
the Monday noon-hour in the
main quad area with Walden the
principal speaker. Don Takeda,
biology instructor, is club ad
visor. The Monday program also
called for a rock concert at noon
in the quad by Tony Muhl and
his Chunky group.
The Track and Field club will conduct the VW pushing contest at the eastside student parking lot at 12 noon Tuesday, according to Howard Hockenberry, club president. The club, with Coach Ed Jacoby as advisor, will supervise the contest and will also enter a team.
Students are invited to enter
four-man teams in Room PE-3 .
Necessary equipment will be
prov i ct e ct and a prize will be
awarded.
Theatre Four, drama club, will host a four-day bean-counting contest. Winners will be announced and priz es will be awarded on Thursday. Dr. Rose Soroky is advisor and Richard Van Belleghemis club president.
Lu Ann McWilliams, Ceramics club president, announced that her group will sponsor an art show in the !RC qua:d area from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on FridayM Ann Heidt, art teacher is advisor.
The Scuba club will demon
strate gear and present a diving
film at noon on Thursday in the
Student Lounge. Don Hellrigel,
foreign language instructor, and
Gary Valentine, chemistry in
structor, are co-advisors for the
club headed by AndreaG illes pie.
CHRIST CRUSADE CLUB FORMED
Campus Crusade for Christ, a new COC club, is expected to receive a charter soon, announced Al Boykin, president.
The club's constitution currently is under minor revision bythe Inter-Club Council and the Student Senate.
Students and faculty members interested in joining are asked to contact Boykin or William Baker, oral _communications instructor and club advisor.
In a survey conducted among 75 COC students the past few months, three-fourths polled said they believed in God as both " ,infinite and personal," Boykin reported.
"Self-centeredness was mentioned frequently as the most stressing problem facing mankind, " he said. "Also named

frequently as basic problems were religion, lack ofcommunication, and lack of education."
More than 33 per cent of stu dents surveyed identified th emselves as Roman Catholics, and 10 per cent as Jews. Twentyeight per cent were affiliated with some Protestant church, with the remaining 30 per cent citing different religious groups, including the Mormons andJehovah Witnesses.
Most of the 16 questions in the poll dealt with student views of Christianity and Jesus.
Although opinions varied widely as to the identity ofJesus, "Son of God" was selected five to one over "historical figure," "prophet," and "a good man," all of which received approximately equal ratings, Boykin said.

Set Priorties
For Registrati:on
The following guidelines have
been established by the Student
P ersonn e l co mmittee to give
some direction to priority re gis
t ration. It is hoped that this
statement will answer ques tions
as to how and why priority reg
istration is granted.
All continuing students have some form of priority registration. Students are eligible to register according to their student identification number which is given to them on admission to the coJlPge.
The longer a student is en
rolled at COC. the earlier will
he be able to register. This in
sures that students approaching
graduation receive first opportunity at needed courses.
Some students involved in athletics, student government, or the band, for instance, need to register early. This special priority guarantees that their schedules do not conflict with a set program and that they do not miss classes to participate.
Groups desiring to receive priority registration must be approved by Charles Rheinschmidt, assistant superintendent, stu
dent personnel.
In exce ptional cases, individual students may also petition for special priority registration privileges. These include the h and i c a p p e d and those with work conflicts or in need of specific classes for graduation.
Special priority registration begins on the second day of registration.
CERAMICS CLUB SETS UP SHOP
A newly formed group on campus is the Ceramics club, with Ann Heidt, art instructor, as advisor. Members meet every Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. in Room E-1 to work in clay, create belts, or use a portable potter's wheel,
among other things.
Club officers are Lu Ann McWilliams, president; Bindy Long, historian; Tim Harrington, sergeant-at-arms, and Mike Wild er, kiln operator.
No art experience is required to join. Interested students are
invited to come to E-1 on Fri
days.
Pick up your spring quarter

Tra(k Cougars ,took To Relays
By Fred Fink

In war, there are the quick and the dead. In track and field, Coach Ed Jacoby worries a bout still a third category--the walk
ing wounded.
"Our mile -relay team was
ranked No, 4 in the state until

Kevin Rocque broke his leg playing volleyball," said Jacoby. ",It isn't easy to re place a
quick man like him."
Jim Bonnell, a fine distance runner listed fifth nationally in the 3-mile,also isn't competing currently.
"He is side-lined by a hip problem that so far has eluded di a g n o s is," s aid the coach, shaking his head unhappily. "We hope he can come back by the time we go to the state meet. We miss him. He's a steady competitor we depend on to bring us 10 points a meet."
Ed Roach, the top Cougar in the discus, ran out of eligibility this quarter.
The three were vital to the fine record established by the ;team so far this season--7 wins, 3 losses over-all, and 5-3 in thP conference, good for third place behind West Los Angeles and
Glendale.
But don't misunderstand Coach Jacoby. He's not making excuses.
"It's been a good year. We've set nine school records so far, and we look for Howard Hockenberry to eclipse his mark in the half-mile as he reaches his peak.
"Ho.ck en berry already is ranked second nationally behind Foster of B"akersfie_]d whom he defeated last year. They'll meet again in the state meet (May 26) in the 880. It will be an interesting race."
The Cougars also are getting good performances from a pair of quarter-mil ers, John Samarco and Ron Stewart ;JuanCampbell, who competes in up to five events, and Ed Marynowski in the 3-mile.
Tim Quinn has topped 15 '9 " in the pole vault and is rated second in the nation (for community colleges). The nation's top JC vaulter is Seltzer of G Jendale who's vaulted 16'1½," but Quinn has beaten him three times in head-to-head confrontations.
The regular season is over. The Cougars now compete in a series of relays, including the Southern California Relays on Thursday this week.
Indian students are asked to help plan the up-coming Indian Spring dance . A planning meet,ing will be held at 12:30 p.m.,
F
1riday, April 20, in Room C-1.
The Activities office is planning the 1973 commencement program. If you plan to receive your AA degree at commencement and have not yet been contacted by the Activities office, please see Nancy Henderson, office secretary, immediately.
Contract Let

(Cont'd. from Page 1) viding much-needed classroom space.
The Laboratory building, tagged at $1,807,000, will eliminate many current problems posed by the lack of special teaching spaces. Blueprints, call for three laboratory areas for biological sciences, and space for physical sciences, mathematics, art, business education, health sciences, andelectronics.
The $1,785,000 HumanitiesStudent Center building, in addition to serving as headquarters for extra-curricular activities, will also provide room for the music department, vocational programs in restaurant and hotel management, and a dining room which will also be used for school dances and theater productions.
The building also will contain faculty offices, a bookstore, health center, student lounge, and student government offices.
Initial work on the stadium project includes installation of lights and 1,500 seats on the east side to enable COC to play home games on its own football field for the first time next fall.
Additional stadium work, scheduled to be completed early in 1974, includes installation of

4 ;500 seats, a press box, con
cession booths, and toilet facili
ties all on the west side.
A small bleacher section

directly behind home-plate on
the baseball field also will be
constructed.
Completion of the stadium and the site work (Phase III and IV-A) will cost $1,145,000.
Other work planned but not yet contracted for by the college will bring construction costs to an estimated $6,449,000 of which the state's share will be $4;049,000 and the district's $2,400,000, reported Robert Berson, assistant superintendent, business services.
The state's share of COC 's construction costs comes from funds allocated under the community college construction bond act approved by Californiavoters last November. The district's share was provided by the successful local bond election Feb. 6.
The prime r:ontractor, subc on tract ors, and architects met at COC last Monday and actual work is expected to begin before the end of the month.

Administrators estimate that most of the construction in the contract will be completed by late 197 4 or early 1975.
F1-ed Fink's On 1st, 2nd, And 3rd
By Fred Fink

"Who's on first?" "No, he's on second."
1
It's an old routine, passe now;

but it stirs up memories!
Lou Gehrig, the "Iron Man";

Babe Ruth and a flock of home
runs; Roger Maris and an asterisk;
the Black Sox scandal of 1919;
Bobby Thompson's epic homer,
Don Larsen, instant hall-of-famer.
Casey Stengal, Walter Alston,

Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams,
Tris Speaker, and . a thousand
more.
., The name of the game is base
ball. It's all around us. In fact,
we've got a pretty good team
right here at COC.
Notice coach Mike Gillespie

next time he shows up on the
quad. Thai grin means the team
is 14-6, 8-3 in the league , and
half a game out of first. (Han
cock is 8-2 and "and we play
them again the last game.")
Obviously, Coach Gilles pie likes his team's chances and welcomes the challenge, although he points out that the game with Hancock won't mean much if the Cougars falter enroute.
"We could easily have been 21-0," Gillespie calculated. "Out of six losses, four were by one run. We lost another in overtime, and had a 2-2 tie with Santa Maria that was cal led on account of darkness.
When asked to comment on

his players, Gillespie said:
."Probably our top player is

Don Hyatt, team captain and
center fielder; but he's out right
now with a case of chickenpox.
"Most important player on the club is Rick Campbell, right up there with the homerun leaders with four, Trouble is he's out of the lineup with a broken leg.
"Grnkovich, third base, was hitting around .400, but he's "slipped" to about .330.
"We're getting good fielding and batting from our shortstop, Robert Corrales, even though he is playing with a broken bone in his throwing hand .
The Cougar pitching staff is superior. Giacomazzi gave us a real good game in beating Hancock, the league's top team, but he's used up his eligibility. Gary Fawlak keeps us in every game, with two wins and three saves, all in relief.
"ffhen we come on with Mike

Holt three wins, two losses (and a 2.77 ERA), Jim Carter (2-0, l.80 ERA), and Ed. McElroy (3-2, 3.09 ERA).
"Eesidesall these, we've got a super statistician in Mike Rhodes.
"For instance, he started keeping track of put-outs at the start of the season. Before long, he learned that Hyatt had flied out 28 times, but only grounded out eight. So Hyatt, who is pretty speedy as well as intelligent, changed his stance a little and raised his batting average enough to help the team materially.
Good show!

Don Allen Elected to Board; Bruce Fortine Wins 2d Term
Bruce Fortine was reelected to a four-year term on College of the Canyons' Board of Trustees, and Don Allen, a COC student, was voted a lJoard member for the first time in recent school district elections.

"I have consistently asked one question in dealing with projects or problems at College of the Canyons : Is it good for the college?" he said.
" My conception of this college is that it consists of five elements--students, faculty, administration, Board of Trustees and the community. To do some~ thing for one segment at the expense of the others is not good business .
"We are exceptionally fortunate here because the five elements have worked together so well for the good of this coilege'.'

Opinion
By Laurie Shane
fought the battle of priority

regi stration. I suni\ed. but it
\ras a struggle all the \\'aY.
Priority registration refers to
some students, because of

tlwir college imolnment . (that is athletics, band, or s'tudent government, for instance) register early (special priority). This is to guarantee that their schedule will not conflict with a set program of the college ...or miss classes in order to participate."
Exceptional cases (that is the handicapped) are handlPd individually by petitioning for special registration.
This plan offers one or two benefits. The handicapped or those in need ofspecific classes to graduate can obtain their required classes.
But this prip.rity system makes r eg istration more of a problem for students not involved in extra-curricular school activities. In effect, the later the student registers, the less he' 11 need to worry about getting into c Jasse s because they'll probably be closed by then.
Many students work at least 20 hours a week or have res ponsibilities at home. But how can the school determine which students have more problems than others? The student can petition for "special registration privileges", but what defines his case as special above others with the same problems?
I view this plan of registration as prejudicial. I feel that students wishing to participate
in extra-curricular activities should be responsible for working out their own schedules. I
.believe priority registration places an undue importance on sports in particular. I would also like to point out that all teams at COC are male-oriented (with the exception of one proposed female soft-ball team).
At many schools, sports (especial l y football) are a good source of income. Although it is not yet a money-making enterprise here, football could be over-emphasized in the years
ahead.
As I see it, the only students that should be allowej to register early are the handicapped, those that need a specific class to graduate, and those with certain individual problems. I feel
that students involved in sports,
band, and student government should be eliminated from " special priority' classification.
Another acceptable solution is possible by leaving it up to the individual teachers (in closedclass cases) as to who will be granted enrollment in a class. In this way equality is maintained and the student is responsible for the activities he wishes to pursue .
If we can achieve this "equality" registration I see hope for our educational system. Otherwise students may believe that
certains pecial activities--s ports, student government, and band, for example--are considered more important by the administration than other activities on campus.
Women's Lib Is "Fantastic"
By Nona Yates
Thf \\.(Jmfn's lihuation mo\-f'mfnt is a suhjrct r;f cont ro\-<!rsy not only in this country. hut all o\-f'f th(: \ror Id. rt has become a political as \H!ll as a personal issu<:. This campus is no exception. The question of the day: "What do you think about th<' women's liberation movement? "
Du a ne N i c h o I s--S e x u ally women's lib is fantastic . But women have the best of it already. Believe me, I'd like to stay home and do housework and watch soap operas while the woman of the house goes out to earn the money. But sexually... women's lib is fantastic.
Kim Self--I hate it! I like to have doors opened for me and I like to have a man help me with my coat. I believe women should be paid as much as men for doing the same work, but women's lib is going too far. I don't want to go to war. I don't even want to enter military service in peacetime.
Paul Osterhues--I agree that women should have equal rights, but I haven't yet met the woman who could be a good bulldozer operator or a professional football tackle. If women compete for men's jobs, they (the men) may try harder, which is good. Of course, women's lib is a double-edged sword. Presumably men now also can compete for jobs traditionally handled by women, such as that of secretary. Big industry and big busi

/ ness could use many more male secretaries. Toni Johnson--! go along with this women's lib thing in only one area--for the same job, women should receive the same pay as men. Other than that , women's lib is not for me. Women's lib, if carried as far as some proponents advocate, will ultimately place women in terrible situations. I want to stay feminine. Charlie Tripp--! think it's good. Up to now, women have been nothing but sex objects. Males have been conditioned since Adam to think of women as "something to be obtained" -and dumped as soon as they become drags. Janie Bertrand--It 's a good idea, particularly the equal rights part. Some women libbers, however, overdo their insistence on doing everything a man does. They defeat their purpose .. By insisting on aping men. these

In a gustatorial preview of their up-coming tour of France, art students recently enjoyed a French dinner at the home of Ar:in Heidt, art instructor, who will lead the group. From left are Mrs. Heidt, Elizabeth Nebelsky, Claudia Debo, Sue Tripp, Lucy Ann McWilliams, Melinda Bedwe 11, and Virginia Bridges.
Art Students Invade Fr!lnce Next July For Fun and Credit
A French menu was featured in Mrs. Ann Heidt 's kitchen when six of her art history and interdisciplinary students met to celebrate the arrival of passports for their upcoming trip to France.
Distinctive red, white, and blue party favors were designed by Mrs. Heidt to resemble the Eiffel Tower, and the menu, contributed bythe guests. included Boeuf Bourguignon,French fries, French green beans, French bread, fruit frappe', French salad, and blue.. berry cr~pes.
StudeNts depart July 2 for the three-unit, four-week, VW microbus tour of France, which will cost each about $800. Among the
more unusual lodging accomouations scheduled is the castle of Pontius Pilate who was banished to Gaul in 39 A.D.
The tour will include prehistoric caves and dolmens as well as Romanesque and Gothic cath
edrals, but , students also are packing swim suits for dips in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean (French Riviera).
Walking shoes are a "must," of course, because of the miles of museum corridors on the schedule.
' 'Another reason," interjected Mrs. Heidt, " is because of all the pastry shops we will encounter."
Each student is preparing for the trip by boning up on one particular area, city, or feature on the tour, and will serve as group guide for her "specialty."
Mrs. Virginia Bridges, for example, is researching caves in the Dordogne region. Melinda Bedwell will supervise the tour chateaus in the Loire valley. Lucy Ann McWilliams will guide the group through Corbousier 's cathedral at Ronchamp, and Claudia Dedo, whose specialty is "art nouveau'~ will direct the group to relevant art works and homes in Nancy.
The group will spend five days in Paris. Each student is pre paring a card file of particu1a.r points of interest to her in order to make maximum use of time in the French capital .
Mrs. Heidt, a seasoned traveler, is planning a student tour to Italy for summer, 1974. Stud<'nts may qualify by enrolling in morning or evening art history classes next fall.
In the meantime--save your money!

"The schedule now favors Hancock," said the coach. "We have two games left with con

Yet, "we could take it all,"

he added with fingers crossf'd.
"I like our chances."
The fly inthe soup could lw Compton, which will face COC 'S ' ' puma power" in a double header there on Saturday, May 5. Compton gave Hancock, the pr<'season favorite, a tough battl(' and does not figure to roll over and whine when the Cougars show up.

BothCoach Gillespie and this " reporter feel it is best to let sleeping underdogs lie .
The Cougars were headed for a top-lO ranking until the midApril Merced tournament in which they lost two or threP contests.
The cougars lost tn Modesto l l to 10 and to Hartn<'ll 5 to 4; while defeating Gavilan 8 to 2.
"That probably hurt our state ~landings," said Gi1lespie. 'We were ranked 7th among large schools going into Merced. Now \\'t"ll prc~ably drop on the list."
If the best of all possible worlds prevails, the.Cougars will end thP season with an over-all mark of 22 won and 8 lost, and 15 and 3 in the league.
If it turns out this way, and chances are good, the Cougars will take the Western States Conference title.
The key confrontation probably will be the game with coleader Hancock on Tuesday, May 8, there .
Women's Lib
(Cont'd from Page 3) women are really confessing to feeling inferior.

Diane Neal--Actually, what is happening is more of a human rights movement rather than merely a women's lib movement. At first some felt that aggressive women were trying to force other women out of the home. Everybody was uptight about that. But the movement has evolved and now all options are open to both sexes. The man can stay home and take care of the kids, or the woman can. People aren't expected to live up to structured rolls or fill unrealistic expectations anymore.
Pam Lauersdorf--I'm totally ror it in every aspect. A man s h o u l d t r e a t a w o m a n as a woman, but on a basis of comtJl<'t <' c'quality.

lauded the way he got things
done.

With his ne\v-found acceptance and lack of problems, the President went bananas. White House aides met in a top secn't conference. and bPcause their first loyalty was to thf' President. they decided to keep his insanity a secret.
Everything went fine for several months with the President cutting out paper dolls and imagining himself to be several hundred people, including, at different times, Hubert Humphery, Donald Duck, and Attila the Hun.
Pretty soon, however, people began to wonder. "Funny, I haven't seen the President lately," they said.
Something had to be done . The White House aides waited until the President imagined himself to be Marie Antoinette, and then set a news conterence.
One aide sat across from the President and asked him about the thousands on welfare.
"Let them eat cake," the President said grandly.
"The policy to place a Sara Lee Butternut cake in every rerigerator stirred a little controversy, but not enough to upset the general peacefulness.
Six months 1ater, the pub lie demanded to see the President again. This time, however, just before the news conference, the President changed from fantasizing as the Pope to Napoleon. When the cameras switched on, he was standing next to a spinning globe, and with eye agleam, stuck a pin in the world, yelling, "Allons nes enfants !," which means, "Let's go kids!"
Luckily, the pin hit the U gu1an I s l a n d s, a n a t o 1l i n t h e Mbongen Sea inhabited by 27 pygmies and a duck-billed platypus.
Immediately, the , e ft was waving Ugulapian flags and breaking windows in the Santa Monica Savings and Loan in order to stop imperialist expansion and capitalist exploitation
Pro-administration advocates approved the move by saying, "As goes the Ugulap Islands, so goes the Mbongen Sea"
Most intellectuals approved of the President's statement because he said it in French.
A small boy in Greater Hoboken, N.J.~saw the Commanderin-Chief on TV and said, "The President's a cuckoo-eyed looney!"
But nobody listens to small boys. Fortunately, with everything else back to normal, the President regained his sanity and the U g u lap i an War was promptly ende~d in only 11 years.

CROWN ATKI NS FRISBIE KlNG
Bill Atkins, who tosses the shotput for the Cougar track and field team, demonstrated that he also has the delicate touch by winning the "Grand Champion" trophy at the recent frizbee con
test.
He won the over-all prize by
amassing most points in the
week-long competition.

Bill was a member of a fiveman team that won all three team events--the "gut frisbee" , the 100-yard relay, and the circle relay, and he also placed second in the individual accuracy and distance events, winning eight trophies in all.
His teammates were George Boshae, John Johnson, Dave Hooker, and Jeff Senour.
LuAnn McWilliams, took top honors in the women's accuracy and distance events. In the former, contestants were required to sail the frizbee through a hoop from different distances. In the distance event, LuAnn
scored 35.8 yards, with Cindy_ M o r g an and D on n a C o o ksey placing and showing.
Anne Stone and Bindy Long won second and third places in the accuracy throw.
Bill Clark won the men's accuracy competition and George Pederson placed third, Dave Hooker took first in the distance with a slip of 56.4 ' yards, and Boshae won third place.
The contest, one of the most popular ever staged at COC, was
a product of Roger Basham's think tank. The anthropology instructor is ad visor for Alpha Gamma Sigma, scholarship society, which staged the event.

Long hair, short hair, medium

wavy hair, and straight hair.
I am constantly amazed by the significance people place on hair, especially long hair.
They stare at you, whisper comments of disproval, or boldly label you a radical, a non-conformist, or a freak. They ignore y o u or go out of their way to make it known that they think you're perverted.
Mothers say, "iBut you looked so nice and handsome with short hair." Fathers say, "What are y o u t r yin g to prove?" Or--the latest community labelling-"H e's one of those Cal Arts weirdoes,"
But the ",long-hairs" are winning! They are making an impact on customs and they are altering the appearance of society in general. Businessmen for example, now wear longer sideburns, moustaches, wirerim glasses, bell bottoms, and, yes,,even long hair.
This hirsute bigotry has already been tested in the courts.
~ California unemployment offices last year refused to pay benefits to long hair persons because, the office claimed, they were not presentable for job interviews, The court ruled in fa
vor of the long hairs.
Similarly, Disneyland lost in court when it attempted to refuse admission to persons who did not meet its arbitrary standards for hair length.

Cougars Share
BasebaII Titie
By Fred Fink
COC's Cougars are cochampions of the Western States Conference! They did it with a clutch game, beating co-champion Hancock C o 11 e g e r e c e. n t ly on its home diamond at Santa Maria. Reporter Fred pink has recorded highlights of this contest below, as well as details of last Saturday's All-Star game played here in which the Cougars defeated a team of the conference's best. Through a scheduling quirk, the Cougars are assigned to the Northern JC play-offs starting today. If COC's baseball stars win this tourney, they will meet the winner of the Southern JC division for the st ate title here at College of the C an y o n s M a y 25-26 in a three-game play-off.

(rrhe All-Star pitcher is up on the rubber, poised to pitch to ,the 1ead-off man. It's the bottom of the ninth, score tied 6 to 6. It's a bunt! Safe! Safe at first!"
..Here's the pitch to the next batter-ANOTHER BUNT! The third baseman was backing up! Safe al1 around!
"fThe third batter walks, bases loaded. Here's the pitch. It's a base hit! The All-Stars lose!"
"Who wins? The Dodgers? No,

COC!"
Classy baseball. The kind of baseball that leaves Coach Mike Gillespie and the team with a solid sense of accomplishment. Winning baseball.
This kind of baseball sends the Cougars to San Jose Friday (today) to play San Mateo in the first round of the state tournament. It is the kind of play that may bring the final state championship games to the Cougars' frisbee field.
There is no question of abili

ty. It's there from one end of the line-up to the other. A break here and there, and this little old cow-pasture college just might pull off the trick! In a sense. the team makes its own breaks. especially with Gary Pawlak, Jim Carter. and Mike Holt pitching shut-out ball late
ly.
And now. the Hancock game.

It was about the hub of the baseball season that Coach Gillespie predicted the Cougars could go into the last game of the season with the championship on the line.
Mark Mike "A" for Astute!

Hancock, 14 and 3, was up by a game over College of the Canyons. The teams had split the first two conference games. Faced with sudden death, the leaders went with pitcher Dave Vosburg, 7 and O in the WSC.

It turned out to be a bad day for Vosburg's vibes. Le ad-off man Don Hyatt singled. Bob Corrales wound up safe at first after striking out on a wild pitch. Bruce Rosenblum singled home Hyatt.
Rick Campbell'sdouble scored Corrales before singles by Len Mohney and Sumner Kub
inak plated two more.
A wild pitch moved Mohney and Kubinak up to set the stage for catcher Wayne Foglesong's two-run double that proved to be the eventual game-winning hit.
The cats scored twice more on Vosburg in the fourth inning and sent three runs across in the eighth against mop~up pitching en-route to an 11 to 5 score, The Western States Conference cochampionship, and a trip to San Jose.
Perhaps the title of a record cut some 50 years ago describes the feeling of Coach Gillespie and the team.
"Down the River of Golden Dreams."
Student Plays

(Cont'd. f.rom Page 1) play revolves around a family being checked by the Internal Revenue Service and the tensions and anxieties this creates.
"The Income Tax" will be directed by a student, Richard Van Belleghem. The cast includes Pamela Lauersdorf, Greg White, Charles Shales, Nona Yates, and Belleghem.

The second play "fl'ouch," w.as . written by Rick Signoretti, and will be COC's first all-student production. The four-act contemporary play deals with the lack of communication among people.
The first scene deals with human beings that turn into cars; the second with homosexuality; the third is a drug scene, and the final act deals with "Touch."

"Touch" will be directed by Edward Gallagher, with the cast consisting of John Stone, Steve Mackey, Toni Johnson, Steve Taylor, Ed Gal Jagher, Rick Signoretti, Dennis Johns, and Harold Mallet.

In a v i c t o r y s t at e m e nt Nichols said: ' "I congratulate the student
body on its conduct during the election. COC should have the finest Student Senate in its history next year. The new of
ficers are highly motivated, intelligent, and all care about the welfare of the Associated Student Body and the college.
"An important function of student government is to re present all the students and to instigate, promote, and support student activities. This we will do. In particular, we will do our best to encourage increased student participation in campus activities."
"The new student officers were introduced at Friday night's Associated Student Body awards banquet. They'll assume power next fall, although the new Student Senate will hold several orientation meetings during the summer vacation.
The voter turnout, while not comparable to public elections was better than most campu~ ~efforts.
Two hundred and sixty four of 1,624 eligible voters(ASBcard holders) went to the polls for a respectable though not inspiring 16 per cent turnout. Last year's ASE election registered a iO per
cent turnout.
This (16%) figure compares
favorably with those of recent

elections at California State University, Northridge, Los Angeles Valley College and Los Angeles Pierce College.
The nearest comparable -percentage was registered at Valley College which has a total enrollment near 18,000 of which only 8,500 carry I.D. cards and are eligible to vote. some 1,200 voted for a 14 per cent turnout.
The elections, however, were conducted in turmoil, with runoffs required during which one c~ndidate for president was physically attacked and injured, and the college president ultimately was forced to order burning of all ballots.
The Student turnout at California State University at Northride was 13 .6 per cent, with approximately 3,000 of some 22,000 students voting.
Only 5 percent (700 out of a total of 14.000) voted in the last student government elections at Pierce last December.

Opinion
By Nona Yates
In Fahrenheit 451. a book a

bout a totalitarian society, the
gove~nm:nt burned books. In any
totalitarian takeover it is the
cultural aspects of the society
that are attacked first. At Col
lege of the Canyons all but one
drama class has been cancelled
for next year. It is re ported that
"Introduction to Theater" has
been scheduled, but it does not
appear in the fall list of classes.
Some people may feel that

comparing a totalitarian society
and College of the Canyons is a
somewhatfar-fetched comparison.
However. when an administra
tion eliminates most drama of
ferings with no substantial rea
sons for doing so, it is not such
a bad comparison.
Up to now it has not come to

the attention of the general stu
dent body that the administration
has cut back the drama program
so severely, for a period of at
least a year.
One of its main arguments is that not enough people were enrolled. The original minimum enrollment figure for continuance was 15 per class. But when the members of the drama department presented a number of different proposals to increase enrollment, the minimum require, ment was raised to 50 students, to my understanding. The administration was interested in a minimum enrollment figure because as it stands now in drama,
the teacher costs per student
are the highest on campus.
This is because the drama

c1asses this year are among the
smallest on campus, With the
proposals put forth by the drama
members, the enrollment would
increase to at least that of the
average classes. The second
argument is that there are not
enough facilities. But the drama
classes would only need a place
to rehearse. Rehearsals can be
carried on almost anywhere, and
I'm sure that every -classroom on
campus ls not being used all the
ti me.
I admit that this school is

still small and we need money
to schedule classes, but there
are divisions on this campus
that have very large curriculums.
For example, the four largest
areas for the fall quarter are
Phys i cal Education with 31
classes_. Business with 28
classes. Mathematics with 20
classes, and Police Science with
18 classes.
I don't see how it is possible

to have such large sections when
there are only enough funds for
one drama class.
Another question is why was

the minimum enrollment number
raised from 15 to 50? It seems
to me, especially from drama's
past record of achievements,
that the administration is really
reaching far for excuses to can
cel the program. As it stands
now, the only way that any type
of drama activity can take place
on campus is if a club is formed
for next year.
I urge every student to support

drama, not only by helping form a

Great Record
By Fred Fink
Some days you can't win for

losing. And even worse, there
are days when you lose even if
you win.
This is the way it is with our

track _and field picture even after
a most successful season.
The winniest coach in our.

history, Ed Jacoby, is leaving
COC after accepting a coaching
job with Boise State College. ,
This is the way it is with

coaches. They do a good job and
are lured away.
Speaking of this year's track

and field team, Jacoby said:
"This was perhaps our best
team. We won 8-3 in dual-triple
meets, and set eight individual
school records and two new re
lay marks.
"One of the highlights of the

season occurred at the Pacific
Coast Relays when our distance
medley team of John Samarco,
Ron Stewart, EdMarynowski, and
Howard Hockenberry placed first,
running away from the field."
In the same meet, COC's mile

relay team placed second. Sam
arco ran his quarter-mile leg in
49.4 seconds; Mark Funk in 50.5; Hockenberry in 49.5, and Stewart in 48.6.
"We had only two entries in the Southern California meet, Hockenberry in the 880 yard run and the mile relay team," recapped Jacoby.
Hockenberry qualified for the state championship meet at Bakersfield, although the Cougar team did not. He placed third with a fine time of 1:52.4. He trailed James Robinson of Laney
(1 :52.1) and Cirilo Morgan of San Francisco City College (1:
52.1).
Robinson is ranked sixth in the nation in the latest poll,. and Morgan ran for the Panamanian Olympic team last summer.
At the West Coast Relays at Fresno, COC's distance medley team won and so did the mile relay team (by an inch!), the latter setting a new school mark of 3:18.4.
"There is a good chance Hockenberry will compete at the Southern Pacific AAU meet in about a week (site unspecified at press time) to try to qualify for the AAU nationals," 'said Jacoby.
Hockenberry's name also has been submitted for the AmericanRussian student games later this summer.
He may have quite a summer of competition before he reports to Washington State in the fal 1.
Jacoby's imminent departure for Idaho is the second se paration this year on the coaching staff. Don Kloppenburg, head football coach for three seasons, left for the University of Texas at El Paso last winter.
The International Folk Dance Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow (Friday) in PE-1. Everyone is welcome.
