IRC Will Open Doors Jan., 2
Barring man-made delays or
acts of God, the William G.
Bonelli Instructional Resource
Center (IRC) will be ready for
student and faculty occupancy
by the winter quarter starting
Jan . 2, 197 4.

The four-story building, cost
ing more than $ 2½ mi 11 ion,
initially will provide 13 class
rooms, a battery of seminar and
testing rooms, faculty offices,
and a variety of instructional
resources facilities, including
the library.

Ultimately, when other build
ings are completed, the IRC will
be used almost exclusively for
instructional resources services.
COC 's portable structures are
scheduled to be removed as
quickly as permanent buildings
are ready. The first to go when
the Bonelli Center is occupied
will be two classroom build in.gs,
three faculty office structures,
and the current IRC (library)
building.

Removal of these six portable
buildings will reduce the lease
costs by $58,000.

New Teachers Added To Stalf
By Rosanne Nocciolo

Although College of the Can
yons is often described as ~
"combination of parking lots an'd
portables," the ever-growing
campus has much to offer any
eager beaver in the way of art,
music, sports and, last but not
least, Education.

Teachers, teachers, and more

He also advocates the establishment of student pane ls to promote, explain, and publicize the college by attending civie, fraternal and business organizations in the community as student spokes men.
"I would also like to see COC sponsor programs such as concerts and art auctions for the benefit of the entire community, and spearhead telethons for worthy local causes over Channel 6," he said.
Josh Bottf eld --"If elected, I will make myself available to every student on campus as a sounding board for his complaints, suggestions for improving this college, and desires," said the freshman social science major who hopes to develop a career in social psychology.
"I would like to see a Book Board on campus on which students may attach cards advertising text books they wish to sell or trade directly to other students, thus resulting in substantial savings.
"Overall, I wi11 dedicate myself to cooperating in the Student Senate with the purpose of making it function efficiently."
Charlie lppoliti -This freshman. candidate, who plans some day to become an actor on the legitimate stage, hopes to initiate a program to entertain and help senior citizens in the Newhall-Saugus-Valencia area, principally through two proposed groups on cmapus, a drama club and a writer's club. Members would offer plays and readings as we 11 as companionship. "I also would do mY best to promote increased student participation in the various clubs and activity groups on this campus," he said.

"Too many students wait for someone else to work on their hehalf," he said. "I do not intend to let George do it. George frequently makes a bad job of it. I intend that the job of re presenting students is done right.

"I'm working for a better and brighter future t'or students on this campus. What we do today, shapes tomorrow."
John Stafford --"I declare myself as a conservative. I believe students on this campus should have a chance of voting for a candidate of my persuasion if they wisl;l," he said.
Stafford is a ware that the voting percentage on this campus is higher than that of other schools in the area but believes that more candidates should run
for otlice and more students should vote.
' 'If voter apathy is one of the basic ills of this democracy, it may we 11 be cha] lenged on the campuses on the nation," he said
Candidates for Freshman class president:
Tom Claffey --A navy veteran, Claffey served aboard an aircraft carrier, expects to major in forestry, and is a defensive tackle on the football team.

said.
He is interested in more cam
pus activities and more student
participation in these extra-cur
ricular programs, believes that
the image of the campus could
be improved by turnin'g over
painting of the numerous trash
cans to art students, and advo
cates establishment a pool of of
musical instruments for students
who can use them for impromptu
combo or solo sessions during
the noon hour or at other times.
Rick Larue --A pre-law stu
dent , Larue is seeking student
office for the first time.
"In high school I consciously
stayed out of student government
and student affairs. But I've

seen the light.
"From now on I intend to

take an active role in student
affairs because I believe that
this is a vital part of acquiring
a college education.
"If elected, I will d~ _my best to see that the voice of Freshmen
on this campus is heard loud ane
clear by the Student Senate."'
Candidates for Sophomore

class president:
Frank Cantu --"One of my

main concerns," says Cantu, a
member of the football team, "is
to help clear up the parking sit
uation on this campus. By sit
uation, I mean the large numbers
of thefts systematically taking

place from cars in the lots. Thefts of tape decks and car batteries, for instance, and damage to windows and windshields must be stopped.
"If elected, I will concentrate on solving this problem, and I do have some constructive suggestions to make."

Janis Moore --This year's Homecoming committee chairman, Miss Moore was active in student affairs as a freshman by serving as Associated Women Students secretary, AWS commencement committee chairman, and sitting on several other committees. She will major in elementary education and hopes to work with blind children.
"Although class meetings have never been held at COC, I hope to hold at least one," she said.
"The Sophomore class, for instance, has never been asked how it would like to have its commencement conducted~ I will se--ek the wishes of the ma:LoPity in this and other matters."'
Miss Moore is also vital'ly-interested in initiating a program to acquire a dia-lysis (k..idney) machine for this c ommunity, which currently has none, and in improving COC's blood bank program by arranging for appearance of the Bloodmobile on campus at least twice during the school year.

Before coming to California, Corbin taught in Iowa and Colorado.
Mrs. Jacobson, a new addition to the counseling staff, earned her B.A. degree in psychology at UCLA and her Master's at Calif or n i a State University, Los
Angeles.
Prior t o coming here, she counseled at Glendale Community College and at Pasadena College, the latter with an enrolment of more than 15,000. She opted to come to COC, preferring
~,:, the smaller campus with its advantages of flexibility andfriendliness, she sai<l. She spearheaded establishment of a Women's Center at Glendale. At COC, in addition to her regular counseling duties, Mrs. Jacobson teaches Women's Guidance 60. Teixeira, a new psychology instructor, received his Bachelor's and Master's in psychology at California State University, Sacramento. His background includes work with mentally retarded persons and with Sacramento county's suicide preven tion bureau. Miss Choate, new mathematics instructor, is the only Ivy league graduate on COC's teaching staff. (Dr. Robert C. Rockwell, superintendent-president, is a Harvard grad). She received her B.A. in math at Alfred University, New York, and her Master's at Dartmouth College.
Prior to coming to COC, she taught for five years at California State College, San Bernardino.

Parking Woes

Plague COC
By Nona Yates
A chronic parking problem has plagued this campus for the past two years because a few students consistently and flagrantly disregard parking regulations.
It would be easier to understand if there were an enormous number of parking regulations, but there are only two basic rules to follow:
1--Park in the student lots. 2 -Park only in designated areas.
These two rules are consistently being broken. There are students who park in the faculty lot and in are1as that are clearly m a r k e d a s n o p a r k i n g are as Parking in these areas blocks entrances and exits for other cars, making it difficult for cars parked legally to get out, causes traffic tie-ups, and blocks emergency vehicle lanes.
There is no valid reason for students to park in these places. There are more than enough parking spaces to accommodate the school, and the farthest distance from a parking lot to the campus is about 500 yards.
Keep in mind that only a minute number of students are guilty. I would say 10% is a high figure. Up to now the only action that has been taken to stop this problem is having the Sheriff issue parking tickets. And up to now this apparently hasn't had any
effect. It would be a shame if we had to take the alternatives other colleges have taken. Some alternatives under investigation are:
1--Towing away the cars at

The Student Senate is an organization elected by the entire student body to re present its opinion in areas of social and academic advancement.
The responsibility of this column will be to inform the student body of actions the Student Senate is undertaking.
Ven co a, the food servic.es corporation operating on campus, has announced price increases due to inflation of meat costs. Vencoa has also stated that its opening hour is changed from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. The senate is unable to alleviate the price increase but has presented a proposal that Vencoa open promptly at 9 a.m. on a two-week trial basis with the stipulation that it has pastry available at 8 a.m. and that all coin operated machines be in operation at all times.
COC had its first dance of the year on Friday, September 21, and the event was totally successful. Plans call for at least one dance a month. Noon-time concerts also are being planned. The next dance will be on October 20 f o l l ow in g the football game with Ventura College.

2--Identify the owner and prohibit him or her from parking on campus.
3--Install controlled parking, which means charging parking fees for everyone. If any of these were put into action it would be because of these few people.
The sad thing is that none of these actions are necessary. The students themselves can cure these parking problems. The appeal to the students is this,:

COUGARS.TOUGH
'ON ; DEFENSE
By Charles lppoliti
"My guess is that the best defensive game any Cougar team ever played was that against the UCLA junior varsity last week."
That is Head Coach Larry Reisbig's appraisal of the knockem-down, drag-out grid brawl the Cougars lost recently at UCLA by a close score of 10-3.

-While Reisbig cited the entire defensive team for great play (it allowed UCLA two first downs in the first half), he picked Larry Nunnally, in particular, for outstanding performance. The big (245 pound) tackle time after time-frustrated the galloping ambitions of UCLA's touted running backs who couldn't crack the heroic Cougar defense for three quarters.
But fumbles at the wrong time and at the wrong place in the fourth quarter trapped the Cougars.
"H was one of the tough

,, games," said Reisbig. "Tlw UCLA Jayvees, with some of tlw best players from all sections of the country on the roster, ar<' a very good team. We're goodl too."
Outstanding offensive e ffort s in the UCLA game came from Ron Jamerson, JuanC ampbell, C laud1 Pi tts an d quarterback P('!t' Crawley.

While Reisbig is hesitant a:. bout .going out on a limb by predicting .a conference (Western State Conference) title this year, some members of his team are confident that when the season ends , the trophy will be long to the Cougars.
"I'm glad they feel that way," is all Reisbig would say.
Earlier in the season, the Cougars scored five touchdowns against Santa Monica Community College while zilching its offense in a scrimmage game.
The Cougars also rolled over Antelope Valley like a tank, 3820.
"Bonnie And Clyde"
Full length feature films again will be a part of the on-campus extra-curricular activities sup
ported by the Associated Student Body, announced :Duane Nichols, ASE president and film committee chairman.
The movies will be shown free of charge in the Student Center about twice a month from 10 a.m. to 13 noon and again from 3 to 5 p.m., starting Tuesday, Oct. 9. The kick-off film is "Bonnie and Clyde," starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
The next is "Red sun,>' with Charles Bronson and Ursula Andress, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 30.

COC Harriers Rebuild Team
By Fred Fink

"In the spring a young man's
fancy 1 i ghtly turns--tra-la-la,"
g o e s t h e o 1d song. But s pring
has sprung and bloomedandgone,
and summer, too, is fading.
Autumn calls, and the cry of the
wi~d grey goose, a north wind,

and a dimming sun, trigger ner
vous rippling muscles to show
off under our lad's tanned hide.
Action is his need.
Football is one answer. But
that's for guys whose ancestors
did their thing by pulling lions'
tails, hunting grizzly bears with
willow switches, or boxing, fist

to horn, with woolly rhinoceroses.
Other dudes are built for speed
and stamina. For them, there's
a challenge in racing up a 1ong

steep hill, letting the wind whis
tle in their ears down the other
slope, and beating the fellow
running beside them.
That's what cross-country run
ning is all about.
Here at College of the Can
yons we have a number of chal
lenges for our harriers. Our cross
country course is one of the stif
fest being run today by college
types. Again, we have a winning
tradition on the course set by
lads like Mike Martinez, Frank

Ramierez, Jim Bonnell, Howard
Hockenberry, and Ed Marynowski.

A third c ha 1 1 e n g e for our
eight-man team is that our new
coach, Monty Cartwright, is re
building. Only Marynowski re
turns from the team that placed
4th in the tough Western State
C onf e renc e last year.
"Barring injury, grade-point
problems, or other disasters,
we've got a good, tough team,"
Cartwright reports. "We went in
green at the Long Beach Invita
tional earlier this month and
came out sixth among 12 entries.
The team is on display on the track every day. Ed Marynowski is captain. Other runners are Gary Durner, Paul Wheeler, Richard Burns, Russell Nelson, and Jeff Goldberg. Presently on the injured list, Mike Pendleton and Mark Funk are expected to be ready to go again soon.
Go get 'em!

New Division Heads
Hank Endler, transportation instructor, has been elected chairman of the vocational-technical division, and Mike Gillespie, baseball coach and assistant football coach, is the new division head for health, physical education, and recreation division.
Other division chairmen are Tom Lawrence, basic sciences Robert Downs, fine arts; Dr: Elfie Hummel, humanities, and Steve Cerra, social sciences.

THE CANYON CALL

Vol. IV, No. 2 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS October 15, 1973
,/

Winners of the recent campus elections were Jan Moore (left), Sophomore class president; Josh Bottfeld, new Associated Student Body vice president, and Miehe lie McMillen, Freshman class president. The trio now also assumes seats on the Student Senate. More than 200 students cast ballots following three days of campus politicking by candidates most of whom presented their "platforms" during a noontime Candidates' (:orum in the center quad. Next student election will be for Homecoming Queen and her Princesses.
JAN, JOSH, AND MICHELLE WIN
Jan Moore was elected Sopho

more class president, Michelle
McMillen won the office of Fresh
man class president, and Josh
Bottfeld was picked for the post
of Associated Student Body vice
president in recent cam pus voting.
More than 230 students, or

about 10 per cent of total enroll
ment, went to the polls. The fig
ure, while not outstanding, still
is higher than that for most
schools in the area.
While the races for class

president were close, Bottfeld
won handily, according to Gary
Fitch, election committee chair
man who also is the Associated
Men Students representative on
the Student Senate.
"Despite the turnout which is

greater than for many other
schools, I feel that not enough
students voted. Some students
said they didn't know who was
running for office and what their
p.latforms were," he said.
"However, the candidates

were publicized in The Canyon
Call and on posters and streamers
all over the campus for several
days before ballots were cast,

ICC Plans For

Year of Action

The Inter-Club Council (ICC),

with a new energetic president in

this year.
"The ICC has been an unsuc

cessful and unstable organization
for three years, but we expect to
make it work this year," said
Rick Bund, ICC president.
Bund attributed much of the

ICC problem in earlier years to
the relatively small enrollment
and comparable reduced interest.
"This year, however, the stu

more interest. There are many
clubs to choose from.

Light Shed On Library Maze
By Nona Vates
Have you ever walked into a

place you've never seen before
and been totally confused by the
surroundings? One such place on
campus that gives people this fee ling is the Instructional Resource Center (library).
In addition to books, the IRC

also c ontains records, films,
tapes, and cassettes, among
other audio-visual aids.

Most students are looking for books. In our IRC books are classified under the Library of Congress system. This system is one major point of confusion because most people are familiar with the Dewey Decimal system. Here are the basics for finding a book.
In the center of the IRC is a large wooden file, the card catalog, which is an index to all the books. On one side is the authortitle file, on the other side the subject file. The author-title file contains a card for each book in the IRC. These cards are arranged al phabetical'ly by author and title.
For example, the book, The ~Teac king :::; of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda, will be listed on at least two cards in this file. The title card will be found under "T" for T eac hing s ("a" "an." and "the" are not counted when at the beginning of the title.) The author card will be under "C" for
Castaneda (author cards are filed
under the author's last name).
So if YOll know the author or title
of a book you 're on your way to
finding it. If you know only what
a book is about, you go to the
subject file.
In t his f i 1e the c a r ds are arranged alphabetically by subject. If you 're looking for a book about macrame, you look under " M" for macrame. There are al so sub-headings within the main subject headings. You can tell them apart because the guide cards for main headings are on the left and sub-headings are on the right.
If you want a book on the history of macrame, you look under the heading "macrame" and behind that is the sub-heading "history ," and there you find the card.
If you can't find a subject heading in the file, look in a large red book on top of the file which contains all the subject headings used by the Library of Congress. For instance, if you 're
looking for a book about guns and look in the subject file under ' 'G," you won't find a heading. Now look in the red book under " guns." You find a list of other headings in the subject file that will lead to books on guns.
Under the Library of Congress system each book is assigned its own number which includes both l etters and numbers. This call number is found in the upper left hand corner of each catalog card and will als-o be found on the book on the shelf.-F or instance, the card for macrame might have the number:

Gun Classes

(Cont'd from Page 2) management, for example, regional camps in which gun training is a part of the curriculum are already established. While it is true that other colleges offer weapons classes, several pertinent questions should be asked: How long have the colleges existed? How much do the weapons courses cost compared with other classes? What is the school's total enrollment? I maintain that a maj dr di sere pancy in class balance exists on this campus. The fall course schedule includes only three anthropology classes (two are the same), for example, and seven biology classes (six are the s~me. The list goes on and on. Something is lacking and I don't believe it 's student enrollment, or lack of facilities or funds. The proposed weapons classes will apply to a maximum of 60 students, less than 2 per cent of the entire student body, You, the students, are the reason--the only reason--for the existence of College of the Canyons. without your attendance , there is no school. You have the power to affect the decision in the case of the two proposed gun classes. Those of you who oppose the classes may say so by signing a petition that is now being circulated on this campus. I strongly urge you to sign it. Make your opinions known!

Zsa Zsa Throws Curves at Jocks
By Judi Conklin
Got some bad news for all

you girls who are aiming to catch
yourselL a baseball or tennis
player this year. It seems that
you've got some competition
that 's new to our campus.
She's about 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and weighs about 100 pounds. But don't be fooled by
her outward appearance. Ath
letes have great respect for her.
In fact, they would probably be
the first to admit that she has
"thrown" them some fantastic
curves. some of the boys call her
Zsa Zsa.
The new competition I'm re

f erring to are two Jugs tennis
pitching machines. What they are
(in a nutshell) is a machine that
can be set to pitch either base
balls or tennis balls at varying
speeds and rotations. This en
ables the baseball players to
practice receiving ground balls,
hitting curves , and catching
flies. The machine can also be
set to help tennis players practice
their backhand, forehand, and
smashes.
Although the official rules

and guidelines haven't been
drawn up yet, baseball Coach
Mike Gillespie said that in the
future the pitching machine. will
be made available for public use.
Coach Gilles pie feels that

the machines should provide at
pitching.
"The machine will get ex

tensive use and will be of great
value in the skill development of
t ennis and baseball players
alike," he said.
So, hang in there gals, even

if your guy is spending time
with Zsa Zsa.
She's good at throwing curves,

but she's a 1ousy catcher.
at-large, and I intend to fulfill other campaign promises," she said.
"I thank all freshmen who voted for me and who gave me the opportunity of re presenting them," said Miss McMillen. I consider it an honor to be your president and I will try to the best of my ability to f u llfill the duties of the offic.e.
"Please do not hesitate to introduce yourself on campus. I am anxious to meet you and to hear complaints or suggestions."
Bottfeld said:

"Needless to say I'm pleased with the result of the election. But I wish more students had voted. I expect that one of my campaign pledges--to erect a book exchange board--will be fulfilled immediately. Look for it on the north side of the bookstore.
"I also plan to hold an open meeting soon to give all students an opportunity to voice their opinions and suggestions on matters relating to themselves at this college."

Vote To lmpea,h
By Nona Yates
The ITT scandal shook up

. some people. The Russian wheat deal stunned others. And Watergate shocked a lot of Americans.
Th e W~t e rgate br e ak-in, which led to the most amazing episode of political espionage in American history, occurred in June, 1972.

~ A recent traumatic development in the Watergate affair is the firing or special prosecutor Archibald . Cox by President Nixon. This caused an unprecedented national uproar. This action was the "straw that broke the camel's back" for many citizens. Several congressmen have taken first steps to start impeachment proceedings against the president.
A recent CBS poll showed 44

6f/ per cent in favor of impeachment and 43 per cent against. A similar poll conducted a few weeks earlier indicated only 23 per cent favored impeachment. The Canyon Call took its own poll of 100 students on the issue of impeachment. The result: 50 in favor of impeachment, 33against, and 17 undecided. Here are some student comments: Debi Morrow: Yes, definitely, he should be impeached. He was unwilling to turn over the tapes. He is not being honest with the people. He's asking us to ignore Watergate. We should concentrate on clearing that up first. We should repair our government before irreparable damage occurs. Windy .Dolan: Yes, he should be impeached. I believe he's dishonest. The corruption is too great and the ad ministration must be changed. Dawn Minifie: Because of the current critical world situation, it would be a mistake to impeach him. Even though the leader of our country is not of highest quality, at least we have a leader. He's respected in Europe, (I've been there) and
and in Russia, also.
Mark Sheridan: No,he shouldn't be impeached. At this time wlth tb.e. caoOictlil tha Mid-East and the general world tension caus e d by that situation, it would be detrimental to the coun
try. We might lose some-power (Cont'd on Page 3)

If a woman is pregnant and chooses to have an abortion, should she consult with the father first? If the man wants to have the child and the woman does not, what then?
It is true that California courts not long ago ruled in favor of abortion reform laws and controversy since has diminished. However, one question that re mains concerns the rights of the father in participating in the decision.
Some feel that it is unfair that the woman makes the decision. I feel, as do many, that the woman should make that decision. It is the woman, not the man. who is pregnant.
She must carry the baby for nine months, and during that time must go through physical and mental anxieties. She may also have to face a hostile family and friends. And it is she who experiences the labor pains, not theman.
What if after the mother has the child, the father changes his mind? There is also the possibili-
A
ty that the courts may not give custody of the child to the father. This would present an entirely
new set of problems. These are only a few of the major problems.
There are probably hundreds more that could relate to the decision. Some may be more important than others, de pending on the individual situation.
If the relationship is a good one, and both people are honest and open with each other, the question of abortion will certainly be discussed before anything is decided. If the woman has the abortion without consulting the father, the relationship isn't worth much anyway.
If it were possible for the fetus to develop in a bottle outside the woman's body. t_l)en, perhaps, the man should have an equal say in the decision. Until this occurs, however, he would be wise to take every precaution against accidental pregnancy or make love only with a woman who feels as he does.
Ultimately, each case must be decided by the persons involved. But the final decision must be the woman's because it is not only her physical body that is involved, but her mental well-being as well.

Recent court rulings have de

creed that a woman can now have
an abortion as readily as she can
have her hair styled. No more
examining boards, priests, psy
chiatrists, parents' approval, or
counseling. The woman simply
talks it over with her doctor, and
provided she is no more than
three months along, can get al
most 24 :. hour service. And so it
should be.
Yet in this rush of women's rights and new freedoms, something gets lost, something that should be taken into consideration. The father.
Admittedly, most fathers out of wedlock are relieved that the pregnancy he helped create is terminated so easily. Yet on occasion, there is a male with moral standards or a conscience who wants the child. Unfortunately for the male, it is totally the woman's decision. She alone has the choice of life or death over the fetus in her bodv.
Conceivably, the male may not even know of the results of his actions until his mate has already done something about it. The sad thing about it is that this male is stuck in a legal and moral limbo.
Legally, he hasn't any rights or say-so. Morally, he must weigh the decision of bringing up a child under unfavorable conditions where there is a hostile mother, or terminating the pregnancy. As I interpret court decisions, it is the woman's body, and she may do with it what she sees fit.
There is no help or assurance for the man caught in this dillemma, except the hope that his girl has standards similar to his, for there are no possible legal standards that could be introduced to protect his viewpoints.
In all fairness, this is one small side to the abortion issue, but I feel a most relevant and important one that has been almost ignored in the courts and doctors' offices.
HEAR THIS, GIRLS; TATOOS ARE OUT
By Rosanne Nocc iolo

In response to male student~ who objected to some coeds' versions of "what boys are made of" in the last issue of this paper, we here present a few interpretations of "what girls are made of."
From the point of view of most males on this campus, the gals have evolved considerably from the never-never land description
of "sugar and spice and every
thing nice."
Bob Munn: Today's girl is

selfish, stubborn, and greedy. But she does have a sense of humor. Ask any girl.
Mike Page: Girls ooze personality and emotion and they trust men.

Mlspell a Lot? Help Is On Way
By Laura Raynor

The Student Senate is looking into merits of the Sequoia Syllable system of teaching reading and spelling as prelude to poss i b l e i n t r o du c tion of a minicourse next quarter.
The system, lauded by knowlegeable citizens of the Santa Clarita Valley who have been exposed to it, breaks down and phonetically categorizes the English language into its simplest elements to a degree not commonly pursued by teachers using traditional methods.
The United States ranks highest in producing "educated" citizens. Although education is mandatory here, the nation in recent years has become notorious for producing poor readers and spellers.
Why has our educational system failed so miserably in this
Jim Riley: Girls are hard to figure out. They want love and need security. And they certainly act naive at times.
Willie Peters: Well, my ideal girls must have blonde hair, green eyes, and carry a birthmark on her left leg. And she does.
Michael Shannon: To get anywhere with me, a girl must be compassionate (most aren't), department? It isn't because students do not wish to learn or because teachers have not made an effort to teach. After investigating the Sequoia Syllables approach to reading ands pelling, I feel sure the problem lies in the approach to teaching.
The Sequoia system, which is used at Hart High School, for instance, was developed locally at Los Angeles county probation camps where many students are
classified "non-readers," with reading grade points ranging from O to 3.5.
The success of the system at the camps was partially noteworthy because it overcame res e n t m e n t b y t h e s t u d e n t of school and teacher resulting from earlier continued failures.
If you need help in spelling and reading-"'.and so many of us do--Sequoia Syllable system has the answers.
Support the Student Senate concern for quality education. Let it know of your interest in initiating the Sequoia Syllable system at College of the Canyons next quarter.

Chuck Cesena: Girls are conceited and selfish. They're prime concern in life is how they look to guys. I'm trying to be decent about this. I have more to say but I won't.

Old Mines Lure Geology Buffs
By Nona Yates
The recent geology field trip 1e d by Winston wutkee, geology instructor, with more than 70 students and guests participating was both a learning experience and an enjoyable break from the routine of classroom study.
The three-day (Veterans Day holiday) trip covered the Randsburg-Johannesburg mining area, Red Rock canyon, Olivine basalt flow, Red Mountain cinder cone, Lone Pine, Whitney Portal, Dolomite, Darwin, Panamint Springs, and Death Valley in California and Rhyolite and B eatty in Nevada.
Purpose of the excursion, according to Wutkee, was to "collect rock and geological specimens and to note land forms." Numerous specimens were brought back for lab study.
T h e t r i p a 1s o e m p hasized "living textbook pictures" in contrast to static textbook photographs.
Highpoint of the RansburgJohannesburg stop was the Yel

~ low Aster gold mine which projected the district into prominence in the 1890s. Although millions in gold were removed, it stands abandoned today. In addition to abs orbing geolog,y, students also enjoyed talking to the "natives" of the area, some of whom now mine tungsten ..
The caravan camped the first night at Lone Pine which is near Whitn e y Portal, gateway to 14,495 foot Mt. Whitney, highest p o i n t i n t h e c o n t i n e n t al United States.
Starting from the portal, 25
students hik e d towards the mountain, some reaching the intersection of the John MuirWhitney Portal trail, well on the way to the summit.
Main stop on the second day was at Darwin where rich silverlead deposits were found in 1874.

in world politics. The only area in which Mr. Nixon's done well in is foreign affairs and at this t i me we n e e d s om e on e who knows what he's doing in this area.
Bryan Tornel lo: No, he sh o u 1d n 't be impeached. He ended the Vietnam war and got the prisoners home, and I think he's b~tterthanGeorge McGovern.
Rick Signoretti: Yes, he should be impeached because he lacks true leadership and he doesn't involve himself with the people. Any information on watergate has had to been forced from him. Anyone who shows such drastic character changes as reflected in his firing of Cox to his hiding f ram the American
people, seems to be psychologically unbalanced. He is a professional politician and I think the American people are
permitting themselves to be led
around like a bunch of sheep.

Today it is mostly a ghost town, with marvelous but rotting buildings, circa the late 1800s, pPrched on the hills.

RO NOCCIOLO, GREEN-EYED AND BLONDE REIGNS AS 1973-74 HOMECOMING QUEEN
By Judi Conklin
College of the Canyons' 197374 Homecoming Queen is a gorgeous green-eyed, long-haired blonde who is becoming accustomed to reigning.
She is Rosanne Nocciolo, 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 119 pounds, who when asked for her measurements confessed she didn't know!

She and a photogenic court of Princesses, as delectable a covey of dolls as you'll find anywhere, reigned during halftime festivities last Saturday night at the Cougars-Santa Barbara City College football game which, unfortunately, the Cougars lost by a score of 20-14.
The Princesses were Jill

The entire Homecoming program, chaired by Jan Moore, was the best yet, with an unexpected added touch titillating the large crowd when aerial bombs signalled the crowning of Miss Nocciolo by last year's popular Queen, Sue Franck.

CARL BOYER IS NEW TRUSTEE
Carl Boyer, history and government teacher at San Fernando High School, is the newest and youngest member of COC 's Board of Trustees.
Boyer defeated six candidates, receiving 2,646 of slightly more than 9,000 ballots cast in the district in the Nov. 6 election.
The 36-year-old teacher who asserts he "cannot afford to ignore community problems and intends to do what I can to solve them," seeks1positive solutions'.'
Two of his primary objectives are to help complete construction on this campus and to strive to "cut the property tax rate which is twice as high as elsewhere."
"I will give full support to the construction program and to the growth of this college because conti nued growth will enable us to take full advantage of state financial aid, thus reducing the burden on local taxpayers," he said.
The new board member plans to ex pl ore the possibility of obtaining more state aid for the college.

New Vets Club Boosts 2 Bills
By Chuck Crawley

There is a new organization, the Veterans club, on campus this fall. Students who are veterans or are interested in veterans' affairs, are urged to get acquainted with Curt Davis, COC's new veterans, affairs advisor, in Room S-4.
Anyone who has dealt with the Veterans Administration knows what a hassle all the rules and regulations can be to someone not familiar with them.
One of the main purposes of the club is to provide representation, information, and assistance on campus to veterans. The club will assimilate all that's going on in the way of new legislation,

Opinion
By Rick Signoretti

If you've bitten into a meat and bean burrito and ended up with a mouth full of sauce and one bean, or purchased a famous Cougarburger and found your teeth imbedded in a stale bun, or pure has e d a cup, 1 of coffee with cream and sugar and wondered if it's muddy water, or asked for additional cream and sugar and found the attitude of the employees anything but hospitable, you know what I'm talking about.
Vencoa, the food service company, has been in operation on our campus since the fall of 1971 and the quality of the food and service offered by it has continued to decline while prices have continued to rise. Almost every item sold by Vencoa has undergone a price increase with the exception of the coffee, which if quality is not improved, should be given away for free.
One of the most recent price i n c r e a s e s h a s b e e n o n s o ft drinks. The price has risen from 1 0 c e n t s to 1 5 c e n t s which wouldn't be bad if the drinks weren't 75 per cent water and 25 per cent ice.
Opening and closing times problems have occurred and a settlement was reached~ but not adhered to by Vencoa. The time problem and solution are as fallows: Vencoa desired to open shop at 9 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. This action was agreed to with thesti pulation that pastry be available at 8 a.m., that all vending machines be in operation, and that the grill be open for business promptly at 9 a.m.
The Student Senate has been trying to combat these problems and is appealing to the student body for help. A complaint box will be located in front of the lunch area and all students are asked to write their com plaints in relation to the food service on campus.
These complaints will be reviewed and presented to the administration. In addition, a petition form will be circulated and presented to the administration and the Vencoa Company to make our dissatisfaction known,
These actions are not instigated to remove Vencoa from our campus (they have a contract with us until August, 1974) but simply to upgrade the quality of food.
I sincerely hope the students on campus will actively participate in resolving this problem.

Senate Probes Voluntary PE
By Rick signoretti

The Student Senate, by way of the Instruction committee, is investigating the possibility of voluntary physical education. The senate representatives on the Instruction committee will also be investigating the general procedure for increasing course offerings on campus.
Since many students have complained about the book buy-back policy, the senate recently instituted a book exchange program. A bulletin board area has been designated for this purpose on the north side of the bookstore and students may advertise their book exchange on 3 x 5 cards.
On behalf of students who are dieting the senate has arranged for a diet food plate and a diet soft drink from Vencoa.
The senate also is investigating the sale on campus of newspapers such as the Free Press, The Los Angeles Times, and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. Hopefully, their sale will be per-1;pitted soon.
The Student Senate is concerned with student opinion and suggestions and has ordered three additional suggestion boxes. These will be placed in the quad and IRC areas and will be clearly marked. You are invited to voice your ideas and opinions.
Last year two ping-pong tables were purchased for _stud1=mts.
This activity was an immense success and the senate has authorized puchase of two additional tables. since most of the night students ar e unable ti attend social activities conducted in the daytime, the ping-pong tables offer some enjoyment and a break from the academic grind.
The forming of a closed-cir
cuit on -c am pus broadcasting
station is being researched by
the senate. The station would
play music, make social activi
ties announcements, and offer
student advertising.

Present law requires vets to complete their educations eight years from discharge date. The Veterans club believes this puts an unnecessary deadline on the vet who might not be able to get himself together for a while after getting out of service. The most vital is House bill 8330 which w o u 1d remove the eight-year time limit, thus eliminating the present VA philosophy of "Hurry up and use it before you lose it." Senate bill 147 would extend the eight-year limit to 12 years. The club wishes to thank all who made last week's petition drive a success. More than 300 signatures were collected. The petition urging passage of the bills now goes to legislators. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, the club plans social events, acquisition of discounts from local merchants, an emergency loan fund, and more.

Ron Jamerson, Cougar Grid Ace, Chases O.J.'s Touchdown Mark
The story that filtered down

from Santa Barbara City College
was that the most highly publi
cized football player there last
week was Ron Jamerson, star
running back of the COC Cou
gars.
Ron's photo, it was alleged,

was posted in the locker room
and on bulletin boards with the
exhortation to "Get Him!"
The story may be apochry

phal, but it is reasonable that
this psychological guerrilla war
fare was conducted before last
Saturday night's Homecoming
game here in light of the formi
dable statistics this classy run
n e r h a s pi l e d u p s o far this
season as California's top JC
scorer.
J a m e r s on h as s c o red 21

touchdowns in nine games. He's
logged 1,116 yards in 192 car
ries for 5 .8 yards a crack. Ron
is also the Cougars' top pass
receiver.
The ct urable back long since

has broken COC 's old scoring "record of 15 touchdowns and now is aiming for one of the hallowed statistics in the state--0.J. Simpson's 27 TDs scored at
San Francisco City College.
Ron has one more league

game and potentially three state
play-off contests to knock off
O.J .s long-standing mark.
John Taylor of Moorpark is lightly ahead of Jamerson in total yardage. The two meet in a head-on confrontation this S a t u r d a y n i g h t (at Thousand Oaks High School).
If the Cougars beat Moorpark, COC is the Western State conference champ. If Moorpark defeats COC, the Cougars are cochampions with Ventura College.
Jamerson, who runs the 100

yard dash around 9. 7 seconds
and 40 yards in 4.4, possesses
"amazing acceleration and great
de t e rm in at ion" ace ording to
Mike Gillespie, the offensive
backfield coach.
"And he's just learning to

run," he added.
Ron's futurn as a football

pJayer was forecast unequivocally
by Larry Reisbig, the Cougars'
head coach.
"He's a potential super-star,

You're going to hear and hear
about him when he moves on to
another school and when he's a
professional."
Reisbig's evaluation appar

ently is shared by others, in
cluding coaches from some of
th.e top football schools in the
land.
A part i a l l i st of "offers"

this 200 pounds peedsterhas al
ready received includes USC,
UCLA, Notre Dame, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Stanford, 0 reg on,
Oregon State, washington t>tate,
University of Texas at El Paso,
San Jose State, University of
Pacific, O cc i dental, and the
University of Kentucky.
A number of additional

schools, including Big Ten representatives, indicated they will c on tac t Ron when the current football season is over.
His ultimate decision as far as football is concerned is to play pro ball, preferably on the west coast with Oakland, the Rams, or the 49ers.
A modest young man and a gentleman, Jamerson gives credit for whatever success he has achieved to the Cougar offensive line which opens the holes for his spectacular runs and scores.
He mentioned specifically Juan Campbell, Tom Jack, Bob Piltz, Bill Atkins, Joe Murphy, C a r l D e e l e y, P a u l Le h man, Randy Berglund, Mike Lombardi, Leo Chavez, and Claude Pitts.
When questioned about the real possibility of being named All-America, Ron demurred by saying, "I can't speak about that. I'm just going to keep running."
Ron, sharing the optimism of most of his teammates, thinks the Cougars have a real shot at the state JC title.
"On the right day, we can beat any team in the JC division in the state." he said. "Actually on any one good day when the team puts together four solid quarters, the Cougars can beat a number of four-year schools in California."
R on c r e d its t h e f i ne grid season to team "togetherness."
"We have unity and spirit this year," he said. "That goes for the coaches as well as the players. Something else is different now, too. The blacks and whites are cooperating. Last year some of us felt racial prejudice."
When not playing or practicing football, Ron spends time coaching boys on the sand lots of Pacoima and San Fernando where he grew up. He played football at Sylmar High as well as baseball, and ran track.
Remember the name Ron Jamerson. You'll hear it many times in the years ahead.
Ski Club Plans Holiday Outing

Editorial

Final exams are almost here and if we look we can see the strain and tension in the faces of our fellow students or perhaps our own.
I look at this up-coming week of insanity and ask why all the strain and tension? The apparent answer to this question is the importance of a grade rather than the amount of knowledge learned.
The unfortunate concept of competition which exists in the education system and the ridiculous value placed on an alphabetical letter. typed on a piece of paper. and called a grade. is absurd.
The horrible realization that students are committing suicide or walking around believing that they are failures. because they did poorly in a class. is appalling to me.
I constantly hear students say they must get an "A or "B" in a class. not how much they are learning and retaining. It's much easier to memorize or simply feed an instructor what
~ he wants to hear for an exam than to commit oneself to the actual process of learning. The process of learning for the sake of knowledge is symbolic of the thinking individual versus that of a scholastic robot. who while lying on an endless conveyor belt and with a tape recorder for a brain is spit out the maw of the current education system. Are you going to school to gain as much knowledge as you can? Or are you going to school because it will mean more money in a job. or because your parents want you to. or because you believe our society expects it. Think about it. It might be a new experience!

Opinion
By Rick Signoretti

The "Oldies but Goodies" albums and commercials. movies like "American Graffiti," and the current fashion trends that look like something out of the 1930's and 40's are all symbolic of the identity crisis I believe young and old are experiencing in America.
The world is in constant turmoil. The cry for immediate change is heard throughout the land. An immense lack of identity and security prevails.
"Oh, baby, let the good times roll."
Through the 1950's and early 60's life was relatively stable, secure, and simplistic. Then war. racial and political demonstrations, the race for space. and environmental pollution problems. to name a few. rocked this country.
A shocked people suffered rapid change and loss of identity or should I say that these traumatic events made people a bit more aware of themselve s and and things around them.
Because awaren~ss is frequently uncomfortable and involves thinking. feeling. and direct appHcation in our daily lives, a cry for help was heard and many retreated into the past in search of stability.
I say this is shameful. People are hiding, a~d turning their faces away from themselves. Few people like to feel uncomfortable or in

Opinion
By Nona Yates
Recently two articles ap

peared in this paper on "What
boys are made of" and "What
girls are made of." These ar
ticles were based on interviews
of a few students.
Most students I talked with

thought the comments were ab
surd and that the articles had no
place in a college newspaper. A
main argument against the arti
cles is that we are not "boys"
and girls."
It is hoped that by the time a

person enters college he or she
can consider himself or herself
an adult.
But these articles are only an

example of a larger problem on
this campus. a problem relating
to people's attitudes about other
people. themselves. and their
positions.
A "high school mentality" seems to prevail on this campus. This is to say that the majority of people here think COC is a high school or at least an extension of high school. This attitude is demonstrated daily by actions of some students.
Walk into the IRC almost any

day and you will be practically
blasted out by student noise.
Walk through the student eating
area and you will be revolted by
the slop students have left lying
around.
Walk around the campus and

watch the antics of a bunch of
clowns who think they're "cool'.'
This high school atmosphere is
also ~nhanced by the attitudes
and actions of some members of
the faculty. staff. and adminis
tration. actions such as kicking
people off campus for not wearing shoes. or systematic in~ flexible. unimaginative app;oach to teaching. or getting upset if a student says "hell" or "damn." Whereas some students maintain this high school attitude in an. effort to be "cool." some members ofthe faculty.staff and administration maintain this atmosphere because it is a nonthreatening one in which their positions of "authority" and "knowledge" are not questioned. It's true that COC is a junior college and most students come here directly from high school, but this is no excuse for the atmosphere that prevails. A junior college is a step toward a job or a four-year college or university. not another level of high school. It seems most COC students are here not really to learn. but to get that all-important "A" ; not to think and make decisions for themselves, only to be put in a slot or on a path selected by someone else; not to develop their own uniqueness and individuality. but to impress and Jive up to the expectations of their friends. teachers and parents. It's sad to realize that most people wi]] readily and unquest i on_in g 1y a c c e pt t h e "high school ,mentality" that prevails here. It's time that people sto'p accepting this and start questioning and thinking and changing it.

The state money will provide
83.6 per cent of the total cost of the building and equipment. with the remainder provided by district taxpayers for a total outlay of $1.119,090.
Release of the funds represents fulfillment of the VoeTech project which the administration of this college has been working on strenuously and tenaciously for more than two and a half years. said Robert Berson. assistant superintendent. business services.
"Only last spring the obstacles to the Voe-Tech project seemed insurmountable."he said.
The Voe-Tech project will be advertised for bids in January and it is expected that a contract will be a warded next .February.
Plans call for completion of construction by June. 1975. with instruction scheduled to start in the fall term. 1975.

Here's Aid For That Term Paper
By Nona Yates
When you are doing a term
paper. you will usually use books
for information. What you may
not re a 1 i.z e is th at there are
other sources of information just
as good as. and sometimes bet
ter than. books. Some of these
are pamphlets. reprints. college
catalogs. magazines and special
reference and reserve materials.
Some of these sources are bet
ter than books because they are
more specific. If you're doing a
paper on how to make toothpicks.
for instance. you would have to
look through quite a few books
to find specific information. But
if you looked in the Reader's
Guide to Peri.odical Litera,ture,
you might find an article dealing
w it h t hat s p e c ific to pie. The
Reader's Guide is an index to
magazines of general interest in
the United States and is arranged
alphabetically by author and
subject.
This is not author and sub
ject of one magazine. but of in
dividual articles within a maga
zine. The entry gives the title of
the article. the name and issue
of the magazine in which it ap
pears. and the pages.
These materials may also be
more useful because they are
usually more current than books.
To find a pamphlet for your
paper on tooth picks you would first find what subject it is listed under (through the card catalog). go to the books on that subject and the pamphlets will be . in orange boxes in the same area as the books. You can find a reprint on the subject in the re
print files.
building will be located south and east of the William G. Bonelli Center. now nearing c ompletion.
Completion of the building will provide necessary facilities for comprehensive programs in shop-related occupational education. according to Robert Pollock. dean of vocationaltechnical education.
The building will provide a permanent home for the existing auto and motorcycle programs and electronics. and will enable COC to offer new programs in auto body. welding> appliance repair and commercial air conditioning. plastics. quality control. home economics (clothing), home maintenance, and sales and marketing-distributive education.
The present auto shop will be turned over to exclusive use by the maintenance department as originally planned.
The project will include ample parking space and storage in an enclosed compound.
Part of the Voe-Tech building is designed to take a second story for future expansion.
The IRC had current as well as back issues of magazines and newspapers. The current magazines and newspapers are in the reading room. Back issues of magazines are kept either in
their original paper form or on microfiche (a card rather than roll .film). Ifyoune-edaback issue of a magazine. write the title and issue on a request form and give it to the person at the circulation desk. He or she will either bring you the magazine or show you where the microfiche is located and how to use the microfiche readers.
Pamphlets. reprints. magazines and newspapers are major sources of information and can b e u s e d in c on j u n c t i on with books. There are also other supplemental or specialsources such as college catalogs. reserve materials. reference materials, voe at ion a 1 materials. and many others.

[ Book Review
By Charles Duran

Fellow garbologists, ecology freaks, and concerned citizens, your knight in shining nylons has arrived.
Brush off your Sierra Club patches and wave your ecology flags with gusto for Ms. Katie Kelly, authoress of a new book titled Garbage. It is loaded with statistical goodies and fascinating facts about one of the nations leading products--pure, unadulterated trash, of which we are the world's greatest producers.
The appalling historical incidents relating to garbage and our culture that Ms. Kelly re ports are enough to raise the hackels on one's back.
Every year America throws into the trash heaps of the land more than 7 million cars, 7 .3 million TV sets, 63 billion tin cans, 43 billion glass containers, and 65 billion metal and plastic container tops--an incredible 360,000,000 tons!
The cost of disposing of this prodigious amount of junk is $3.7 billion a year.
Incidentally, only about $1 billion is spent annually in this country on urban renewal and about 1.5 billion on medical research. ,
The book, sub-titled History and Future of Garbage i n America,
al s o relates the "history" of garbage which, the authoress points out, starts with Eve, the first litter bug, who threw the
apple core away.
The Greeks and Romans piled their refuse on odoriferous mounds and the citizens of the Middle Ages simply threw it out the window into the street.
But it remained for America
to become the "garbage center
of the world."

OLDIES BUT GOODIES
(Cont'd. trom Pase 2) secure. But individual growth frequently 'requires this feeling of temporary loss. To cling to the past is to stagnate. And this is particularly relevant to today's music. The techniques and innovations perfected by such contemporary groups as "Pink Floyd," "Gethro, Tull," "Yes," "Emerson/' "Lake and Palmer" make the music of the 50's and early 60's SOUJ!d like a child's finger exercises on a toy piano. If you wish to retreat into the past; fine. But I suggest you take a look at why you are doing this.
GIRLS AND BOYS

(Cont'd. from Page 2) This applies to all students, faculty, staff, administration and all others who care about themselves.
We are not in high school anymore. I realize high school is a nice safe place to be, but sooner or later you must live in the real world, not in this fantasyland you have created for yourselves. Stop thinking of yourselves and the people around you as "girls" and "boys" who need to be told where to go, what to do, and how to do it. To think that way is not to think at all and is an insult not only to oth
ers but to yourselves.

Vol. IV I No. 6 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS January 21 1 1974

By Mary Cohen

Club Week, sponsored by the Inter-Club Council, (!CCL will be held on campus Jan. 28-Feb. 6
announced Rick Bund, ICC president. Various clubs will set up booths on the lawn in front of t he Bone 1l i C e n t er. Booths, meshed together in a fair-type s it u at i onI w i 1l be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, and -lso from 6 :30 p. m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Although some students
participate actively in the clubs, a marked lack of participation by the majority exists on this campus.
lt 1s hoped that Club Week will initiate interest in clubs1 promote activitiesi and bring about some sort of student union of participation.
The evening schedule is designed to promote interest in the night students who never really get a gr as p of student life in general.
To quote Bund, "Club Week s h o u l d b e a g r e a t experience this year. We have a large variety of clubs participating, each with its own theme. So be there or be octagonal."
The participating clubs and their faculty advisors are Drama, Willi am Baker; Ceramics, Ann Heidt; International Folk Dance, Maria Reisch; Music, Dr. Robert Freeman; Police Science, Richard Clemence; Scuba, Gary Valentine and Don Helleigel; S.H.E.., Joan Jacobson, and Ski,
Mike Gillespie.
If you have an interest shared with others, it is a simple process to form a club. In order to form one, five or more students and a faculty advisor are required.
Every club required a constitution. Forms are available from Dr. Al Adelini, dean of student activities. After approval by the Student Senate a charter is drawn up. Both charter and

Bonelli Center Work Continues
Students are already aware that then e w ly opened Dr. Willi am G. Bone l 1i Center for Instructional Resources (!RC) is not yet functioning perfectly because construction and installation continues on it and adjoining buildings.
Robert Berson, assistant superintendent, business services, noted that construction of the Laboratory Center, flanki n g t h e I R C o n t h e west, will c on tin u e for s om e, causing noise, dust, and limited access to the !RC. He said, "The situation will continue in some degree until the Vocational Technical building is completed in spring, 1975.
As most students have already experienced, there is a limited amount of parking near the Bonelli Center. According to Berson, additional parking areas are scheduled in connection with the construction of the new road between Valencia Blvd. and McBean Parkway. Construction will begin as soon as all the various state and county approvals are granted.
Most students are q,ttending classes in the Bonelli Center although some still use the old temporary buildings. This situation should continue until next fall, when all but the Physical Education classes will be held in permanent structures.
Berson said, "As with all building construction, there will be, over the next several wee ks, some interruptions for adjustments of building sys terns, corrective work, and other miscellaneous problems."

IMusi, Review I
By Ace
In 197 4 it is necessary to delineate between those bands and performers whose emphasis is upon the performance, an emphasis most notable among the glittery British rockers, and those hands that can kick back and play. The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers are two American bands that fall into the latter category. Those boys can play (as any of you who have been to a concert by either band can testify). Both bands have recently released fine, fine albums.
In their new album Wake of the Flood, the Dead exhibit the fuller sound first heard on their live Europe '72 and attributable to the addition of Keith and Donna Godchaux on piano and vocals, respectively. The production manages to transcend the thin studio sound evident in both Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. The craftsmanship which has gone into. this album is sound, the musicianship virtuous, and the vocals sweet. ]30th sides are eminently listenable.
Side 1 is uneven, f Jawed by the overextended "Row Jimmy" which, while a good track, doesn't stand up ta the quality of the rest of the album. The side begins with a good time rag, "Mississippi Hal/step (Uptown Toodleoo)," rendered in the best traditional Grateful Dead Manner. Ending it is the hauntingly beautiful "Stella Blue," highlighting the clean sound of Jerry Garcia's guitar rounded out by pedal steel and the vocal harmonies of the entire band.
Side 2 is uniformly pleasant. The second cut is "You Are the Eyes of the World," featuring some fine get-down r & b style "gittar." The final number on the album, "Weather Repart," is one of Bob Weir's finest writing efforts, ranking right alongside "Looks Like Rain" from his solo album. The first part's accoustic guitar harmony is nice, and it leads naturally into the s o u n d of t he entire band. The lyrics on these last two tracks leave one feeling good. Wake of the Flood is, all in all, good liste ing.

Brothers and Sisters by the .
Allman Brothers Band has my vote for the year's fines album. Dicky Betts' guitar playing is flawless, the vocals by Gregg Allman are his usual great, and the rhythm section cooks its ass off. Again, the sound on this albu m i s f u l l e r than on the Brothers' previously recorded work, due in large part to the addition of Chuck Leavell on piano.
Leavell's membership in the band has had the effect of broadening the scope of the gtoup, freeing them from an exclusive blues base. This is most apparent in the country origins of the fine cut "Ramblin' Man," which has gained the airplay the Allman Brothers have deserved for years.
Side 1 includes two songs by Gregg Aklman, "Wasted Wards" and "Come and Go Blues," both blues-oriented ultimate Allman. "Ramblin' Man," the second cut on the side, is a Richard Betts tune. Betts dis plays here his incredible talents on the guitar, particularly in the postlude where the guitar harmonies are reminiscent of earlier Allman Brothers. The slide guitar here is a fine and fitting tribute to the late Duane Allman. The side is completed by a careful rendering of a slow blues number, "Jelly Jelly."
The Chicago-style piano is excellent. Side 2 contains three songs by Betts, signifying his emergence as a major songwriter for the group. The first, "Southbound," has the band playing as ohly the Allman Brothers Band can. The rhythm section, with L a mar W i l l i a m s on bass and Jaimoe Johanssen and Butch Trucks on drums and percussion, is laid down superbly. The second number, "Jessica" is an instrumental calling to mind Betts'
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
from Id lewi ld South. The band,
exemplary on both cuts, is great
er than the sum of its parts, and
with each member being incom
parable, the result approaches
genius. The last number, "Pony
Boy," is an accoustically dom
inated, rollicking, delta-blues
tune demonstrating, again, fine
guitar harmony.
Both Wake of the Flood and
Brothers and Sistets are excel
lent albums, worthy of the money
plunked down to get them. But
don't take my word for it. Let
the music speak for itself. It
should leave you smilin', know
ing that you've heard some of the
tastiest music around.

Film Review I
By Rick Signorett i
The Exarcist is a film that should beonthetopofeveryone 's list.
The translation to film of William Peter Blatt's bestselling book (over a year on the best seller list with over 6 million copies in print) has been a long awaited, much publicized, and costly production.
Director William Friedkin's has done an outstanding job of adhering to the novel and has allowed all the actors to achieve excellence in their roles.
The Exarc ist is definitely not a film for the squeamish. The artfullness of the film is presented to the viewer with such tremendous realism that there have been several incidents of viewers blacking-out and numerous incidents of nausea at almost every showing. There are many stories of eerie happenings

bated the advisability of senate
support for the formation of car

car pools were started here three
years ago but failed.
Josh Bottfeld, ASB vice-pres

successful.
The table, manned by senate

Referral directories, handbooks, and weekly bulletins are handed out along with free coffee, hot chocolate, and doughnuts in the hope that students will give the senators criticism and suggestions along with their ideas a

The senate also appropriated funds to rent the film "Reefer Madness" to be shown when conv e n i e n t in t h e c u rrent movie schedule.

In an attempt to bring the student body closer and to involve more students in campus activities, Nona Yates, night senator suggested a senate-sponsored

Duane Nichols re ported that Tuesday films will return to their original time schedule after this week (i.e. 9 to 11 a.m.; 12 noon occurring on the set even while the film was in production. Su~ spense film editor Leondopoulos
has used all of the special effects techniques to the utmost and does so without ever making it obvious, adding to the realism of the entire film. This is not a film that I believe many individuals will find relaxing.

By Rick signoretti

I_f you've been driving down the freeway and found yourself unaccustomed to the 55 MPH speed limit, which very few people appear to be abiding by, or sat in your living room with convulsive shivers running through your body because of your lower thermostat. or you've been straining eyes to see because you 're cutting down on lights, or you're limiting yourself to oneday weekends hecause you're afraid that the gas stations will be closed on Sunday, or perhaps you've lost your job with the airline or the automobile company, you'll realize that the proposed energy crisis is one of discomfort rather than pleasure or even tolerance.
For indeed, the majority of the American people appear to be tolerating this fabricated energy crisis. Are we no greater, or should I say advanced, than the decaying automobile industry of present time with its halffinished large cars sitting on a conveyor belt, stagnant-dead. Is our trust in the government or
~ even this country so great that we accept without challenge that there is an energy crisis? I will not go so far as to declare that I believe the whole energy crisis is a hoax, but I will say that if it were as drastic as it is currently being propagandized why are no full emergency measures being taken? By this I mean why are the oil companies or even this country or world not pursuing full scale research into other areas of energy?
The answer that has been gi ven is the amount of money it would cost? Does this seem logical? Money is one thing and life is another.
Some facts of interest are that the oil companies have made a 91 per cent profit since the start of the energy crisis which seemed to hit us overnight. Other pertinent facts are that off-shore drilling will now be permitted 3 miles off our coast, the Alaskan pipeline will be constructed shortly, most major oil companies have huge stockpiles of unrefined oil , a bill is currently being presented in Los Angeles to permit the burning of high sulphur fuels for six months, the

Opinion

By Brian YorkeandJames Rogers
Mr. Richard Nixon's term as President has been one of crisis and lately a crisis a week. The President has s.,ent more time explaining his position than he has in running the government. This, in our opinion, is an inexcusable and unparalleled event in American history.
In 1972 the ITT affair forced the Republicans to relocate their convention from San Diego to Miami. And more recently Americans are clamoring for a full disclosure of details of an antitrust case settlement f vorable to ITT.
Along with the ITT case controversy exists over Richard Nixon's support of increases in milk industry supports. The controversy stems from a large Nixon reelection contribution made only weeks before he sanctioned higher milk supports. He has stated that he did not act as he did because of this contribution, but in light of all his other problems we do not believe he is telling the truth.
Then there was a simple break-in at the Democratic Headquarters at the Watergate. Right? NO! The Watergate break-in was a highly planned and systematic at t e m pt by trained personnel, some with CI A backgrounds, whose goal was political sabotage, aimed at destroying the Democratic presidential campaign.
This po 1it i cal scandal is unique in American history.
Past scandals have been economically motivated but this one was an attempt by one faction to eliminate the opposition, thus making the United States a one-party nation.
And now we have the tape crisis. First Mr. Nixon obstructs justice by refusing to give up the Wat e r gate tapes to Judge Sirica. Finally, after firing Archibald Cox, the firing of Rucklhos, and the resignation of Richard.. son. The Pre s id e n t agreed to hand over the Watergate tapes. Alas, another crisis--a malfu net ion in a tape recorder caused the two tapes potentially most damaging to the President to / disappear. And most recently another 18 minute "gap."
Archibald Cox, a man guaranteed a free hand in the Watergate prosecution, was fired when he failed to agree to a compromise
between Mr. Nixon and the Watergate committee. Cox, apparently, was on the trail of something politically damaging to the President. It was so damaging that Mr. Nixon felt he could sacrifice his two longtime allies, Elliot Richardson, then attorney general, and Willian Rue ke lhaus, deputy attorney general.
Mr. Nixon's new program, labeled Operation Candor, was designed to improve public opinion of the White House. The President was going to cooperate with

S.H.E. S~ — sor Ms. Joy Picus
By Nona Yates

At 12 noon on Thursday Jan. 24 in the Student Lounge Ms. Joy Picus will speak on "Women in
Politics," Her lecture is sponsored by S.H.E. and the Depart
ment of Community Services. S.H.E., for those few who don't know, is the newly formed Selfawareness, Humanity Equality club.
Ms. Picus was recently elected to the W.L.A. County Resource Conservation Board. In

Ms. Joy Picus

1973 she was a runner-up for the Los Angeles City Council, losing by less than 1 percent of all votes cast. Ms. Picus has held many positions in Los Angeles governmental affairs, such as past vice-president of the Los
1

Angeles League of Women Voters, past president of the Valley AAUW and chairperson of the Los Angeles County Citizens Coalition against Proposition-1. In addition to being a member of the Conservation Board, she is presently a member of the Education Task Force of the Urban Coalition.
Ms. Pieus is the first in a planned series of speakers. The speakers are part of the activities the S.H.E. club is planning. Some other subjects planned for future coverage are: Women's Legal Status, Women's Self Defense, Women in History, and Women and Credit.
It should be emphasized that everyone is welcome. We urge both men and women to attend this and every activity that the club plans. Also, these activities are not limited to students. Faculty, staff, adiministrators
and members of the community are also invited to attend.
To find out more about the club and its activities come to any of our meetings or contact Joan Jacobson in the counseling office or any of the club's officers: Barbara Fick, Ginger Lofftus, Debi Morrow, and Nona Yates. As it is with our activities, everyone is welcome to our meetings.
Ms. Picus' lecture will interest everyone, as many people have already discovered. We ex
pect a rather large audience so it would probably be a good idea to get to the Student Lounge a little early. The time, again, is 12 noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24.

Editorial

(Cont'd from page 2) word "ecologist" is looked upon with scorn and environmental gains have been rationalized away by quoting the supposedly immutable loss of "supply and demand." Why is it that a news report on Channel 7 stating that
Occidental Oil Company possessed documented proof that enough oil to last more than a 100 years was available (without causing ecological damage) in the Rocky Mountains and nothing was ever heard of this again? Why is it that our most limitless and non-polluting source of energy, the sun, is not being exploited? Why is it that the DWP in Northern California stated that not 1/10 of 1 per cent of electrical energy is being saved since consumption restrictions were placed upon the American oeop]e?
The answers to all of these

questions are money and control. Who really is in control of our economy, our government, our people and our very souls. Get ready to see the billboards in Big Brother fashion, perhaps with the picture of a golden oil well. Why is it that Mexico has an unlimited supply of gasoline for the tourist?
In conclusion remain apathetic and remember the clos
ing words of Daffy Duck, "That's all folks" Or is it?

'Yet, in light of his remarks, he

Such behavior cannot be tol lerated. We call on the House of Representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings in an attempt to get to the truth of Watergate and other related matters.
If the President is innocent , we, the people , would like to know.
If he is guilty we would like to know that too.

Hoop Cougars Rebound Hard
by Brian Yorke

After a dismal 2-30 record last season, this year's basketball team has rebounded to an overall 9-5 record and is 1-0 in Western State Conference.
This great improvement is attributed to better ball players and a better all-around playing atmosphere, said coach Lee Smelser. Two returning players, Jim Carter and Herb Barker, have added experience, while freshman Mike Mayberry has adapted very well
to junior college basketball and is a possible All-Conference player.
Coach Smelser's philosophy on basketball is not only to train his players for the game but also to prepare them for later life. He tries to instill personal discipline, perserverence, and team dedication. in his players.
This year's team has more size and depth than those of previous years. The center is Werner Millhouse, a 6 '8" freshman who is averaging 5 points

Film Review

(Cont'd from Page 3) a work of art and totally engrossing entertainment all at the same time, elevates the film easily to the category of the best film of
and 7 re bounds a game. The team's top scorer is Jesse Boyd, a forward who is averaging 22 points per game.
Boyd is the most publicized player on the team. He was named an Al 1-Tournar. .:nt player in the Antelope Valley tourney and was also named MVP in the Chabot Tournament.
Coach Smelser said of Boyd, "He has great physical qualities and is just a good all-around ball player.
Coach Smelser also relies on his bench to provide some firepower. Frank Grant, a swing forward and guard, is averaging 8 points a game while Rick Dana and Scott Pearce are averab ng 8 and 9 points, respectively. He has two good back-up guards in Steve Karich and Mike Slimak who will see more action as the season progresses.
Coach Smelser is a versatile coach who likes to play his
games one at a time. His team can play ball control, can run a pattern offense, and can also fast break.
In predicting the fate of this year's team, Coach Smelser foels that if his team gains experience it will be a "factor" in league
competition.
1973 a'n d one of the best the country has ever produced.
If you do decide to view this film, which is showing in Westwood, I would suggest arriving anywhere from 3 to 4 hours ahead of showtime.

POETRY
Bv John Gilbert
I live in a world of strangers not the least of which is me.
They wash my face they comb my hair they walk along the sea; sell cockleshells, make silver bells
to ring away the old But I live in a world of strangers where all my dreams are sold. And if I ask the price of love all I receive is gold. But I cannot buy these silver things or someone to fly with me for I live in a world of strangers where none will go with me.
God's golden thought, a butterfly comes skipping through the trees and floats lazy down upoh the ground and tries to talk to me but the thoughts he shared like the movin0 air were whisked away from me for I live in a world of strangers your heart I cannot see. Then voices begin to sing far away from here of birth of death of love and the burdens we must bear but they fade away like the closing day and in the moons light I see that I live in a world of strangers where none may share with me.
In the coming night the stars of sight come shining down on me while natures beams bring me a dream of a multitude drifting by. Then I hear their voices rise to fever pitch "from pain and loneliness set us free!" but it dies away as their whispers say these things we will not see for we all live in a world of strangers not the least of which is me.

Ms. Picus looks At Politics From Women's Point of View
By Nona Yates

Ms. Joy Picus, a member of the West Los Angeles County Resource Conservation Board, visited our campus recently to speak on "Women in Politics." She is the first in a planned series of speakers that the S.H.E. (S e lf-awareness, Humanity, Equality) club is sponsoring this year.
Ms; Picus' speech was received very well by the large audience that included students, faculty, administrators, staff, and community citizens. All I spoke with though her speech was excellent and hoped there would be more similar programs (there will be).
She spoke about her personal

experiences in running for office and her opinions about the role of women in political _life today. In 1973 she ran, as the only woman candidate, for the Los Angeles City Council, She kept the incumbent from gaining a majority of votes. This forced him into a run -off election which she lost by only 500 votes out of 55 ,000 cast.
In her opening remarks Ms. Pi cu s ex presses delight at visiting our "very attractive and new campus." She also stated she was "very pleased to see some men in the audience" because she speaks mostly with women. Commenting upon h e r loss in the 1973 campaign, she feels that ' 'it's hard to lose no matter what" but it's "probably easier to lose by a little because you do come out with your ego intact " .
Some of the main points of her talk dealt with the advantagesand disadvantages of being a woman in a political campaign. "A woman has to prove that she's a credible candidate" whereas a man does not. Ms. Picus stated
that this is a significant disadvantage for a woman as a political candidate. She also attri(Cont'ct. on Page 5)

permeate our most basic and legal rights. I suggest not the complete overthrow of roles, but the realization that underneath these games of maleness and f e rri a l e n e s s w e play there is something we all share we are all people, and as such we must realize that our potentials should not be decided by our sex any more than by the color of our eyes.

The main reason for this unique position is the power and money that these oil companies exert and spend annually in this country to influence and control politicians and political parties.

Basketball Cougars Shoot For
Even Won-Lost Season Record
By Brian Yorke

The cougar basketball team stands at two wins and seven losses in leagu~ competition and an over-all season record of 11-12.
While greatly improved over last year's squad, the Cougars show str8aks of inconsistency as demonstrated most dramatically in a recent 58 point loss to Santa Barbara City College.
In a non-league encounter with Cuesta College hosted here by the Cougars recently COC prevailed in double overtime 95 to 92. The Cougars, led by Mike Mayberry and Fred Grant , both with 10 points, and Werner Milhous with 12, led at halftime 44 to 42.
In the second half the offense was led by Jesse Boyd with 30 points. The score was tied at the end of regulation time 77 to
77. The Cougars won in double overtime 95 to 92, avenging an early season loss to Cuesta College 90 to 66.
The Cougars returned to league play against Los Angeles Trade Tech and won a cliffhanger 72 to 71. Boyd led the Cougar scoring as usual with 28 points on 14 field goals. The real excitement came after time had run out as a Trade Tech player attempted a one-in-one free throw conversion. (If the player misses the first shot he does not attempt the second.) To the joy of C o l l e g e of the Canyon, the first free throw was missed and the Cougars were victorious 72 to 71.
The Cougars traveled nB.Xt to Santa Barbara and were humiliated 128 to 70. The Santa'Barbara teams' excellent shooting and hard press left the Cougars defenseless. Santa Barbara scored 59 goals and lead at the half 67 to 28. The Cougars, again led
by Boyd with 1 7 points, were
outclassed as they went down
to there sixth league loss.

The Cougars still have three home games left. They are on Feb. 9, 16, and 23 with Hancock, Glendale, and Santa Barbara, respectively. come to a game. The team deserves your support.

Cougars open their baseball season Thursday, Feb. 7, playing Saddle back College (near San Clemente)
in the Orang~ County Tournament. In photo Jim Elford, Cougar slugger, socks one in practice. First
home game will be played Thursday, Feb. 14, against Antelope Valley to open a CCC-sponsored four
team tournament.

Track Cougars

Start Feb. 15

The track and field Cougars open their season on Friday, Feb. 15, in a dual meet at Antelope Valley college with a team of freshmen. Only three letterme n from last year's squad, which placed 7th in the Western State Conference, are back.
Coach Monty Cartwright said h e w i l l know better what his real ch an c es are this season after the WSC Relays in Santa Barbara Feb. 22.
After two recent All-Comers (conditioning) meets, Cartwright has c lews as to his team's strengths and weaknesses.
Outstanding performances in the ear ly season has come from Russel l Nelson who with a mark of 43' 10" has already broken Juan Campbell's school record in the triple jump.
Promising prospects include Ron Stewart in the 440 ; Rich Burns, Gary Durner, and Ed Marynowski in the longer distances; Paul Wheeler in the 880 ; Randy Lusk in the pole vault; Bob MacJ(ay and Ron Engle in weights (shofout and discus); and Laszlo
Farkas, Mike O'Connor, Steve
Jo yce, Bill Searby, Russell
Baldwin, and George Boswell
in the sprints.

The 440 yard and mile relay teams also look good.
Weakest event is the high jump with no outstanding prospects.
Ron Stewart and Ed Marynowski are co-captains.
Biggest home event in the upcoming track and field season will be the WSC Championships hosted by COC here May 3.
First home appearance of the Cougars will be at an All-Comers meet on Feb. 28.
Because of a reduction in IRC personnel, it is necessary to close the 1st floor in the evenings. This means that the audio-tutorial room, the control room, the equipment area, and instructor's work room will close at 4:30 p.m. daily effective Feb. 12. Films and equipment for evening use must be picked up before 4:30.

Rich Edwards

CurtDavis,coc veterans advisor, t e rmed the Veterans
Administrations' lack of cooperation with veterans advisors as "deplorable, inefficient, and inexcusably atrocious."

Davis made his charge after attending the recent Senate Veterans Affairs Subcommittee hearing in Los Angeles, on January 17 chaired by Sen. Alan Cranston of California.
Davis' allegations were supported by Robert Ash, Santa Ana College representative, who said, "There is very little cooperation between the v.A. and college advisors."
The hearing conducted an investigation into the recent administrative breakdown in the Los Angeles regional office of the Veterans Administration, the nations' largest.

The Great Outdoors
By Fritz
In this age of mechanized so
ciety, I find more and more peo
ple becoming interested in out
of-doors. This is evident by the
growing popularity of snow and
water skiing, backpacking, and
fishing. The subject today is
snow skiing.
Skiing for some means brok
en legs, cold hands, and blue
noses. However a skier knows
that it is a safe sport and if one
dresses right he or she won't
get cold. Skiing is a relatively
expensive sport, but after laying
out the bucks intially for the
equipment, the only real expen

ses are lodging and lift tickets.
0 n e of t h e b e s t l e a r ning

areas in Southern California is
at Holiday Hill in Wrightwood.
Eighteen dollars buy skis, boots,
poles, the lift ticket, and the
lesson. To learn faster, try the
Head Way program at June Moun
tain (15 miles north of Mammoth
on U.S. 395).
It is a five-day program that

costs from $75 to $100 for the
entire package. The technique
is simple. The beg inner starts
on short skis. After learning
control, he or she advances to
the next size ski. The short skis
are becoming popular and are a
kick in the pants.
Second choice to June Moun

tain is Mammoth Mountain with
the GLM (Graduated Learning
Method) similar to June's Head
Way, but neither the equipment
nor the instruction is as good.
J:<or the advanced skier Mammoth
Mountain is the place for paral
lc:l, powder skiing, and even
hot-dogging lessons. They are
expensive, but worth it.
Buy equipment from a rec

ommended outlet. The best ski
shop in California is Doug Kit
teridge 's at Mammoth. He has
everything. Locally, the Cali
f or n i a Sportsman, Hollywood
S port in g G o o ds, and The Ski
Chalet are adequate.
All ow plenty of time to get to

Mammoth, 305 miles away, but
remember that the speed limit is
55. A helpful hint: north of Red Rock Canyon the Highway Patrol usually gets off the road between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., but not always, so keep your eyes peeled. One of the inexpensive lodging places I have found in the June-Mammoth Lake area is the Silver Pines Chalet at June Lake. A dormitory, it costs $5 per night.
Have a nice trip, but don't forget the essentials: chains, long underwear, hat, gloves, french bread, cheese, and a good brandy.

THE CANYON CALL

Vol.IV,No. 8 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS February 25, 1974
"Self Defense" Topic For S.H.E.
By Deborah Morr-0w
"Women leave themselves
open to possible attacks every
day without being aware of it,"
stated Ms. Beverly Celentano in
her discussion on "Self Defense
for Women" in the COC Student
Lounge recently. Ms. Celentano
is a deputy sheriff training of
ficer with the Los Angeles Coun
ty Sheriff's department.
With the aid of officer Julie
Cabe, she demonsfrated a variety
of defense techniques, including
how to face and fend off an
attacker, how to break a choke
hold, and how to use such every
day items as keys as protection
devices.
That there is a definite need
for women to be come aware of
self defense was emphasized by
Ms. Celentano who related sev
eral incidents that occurred in
the Los Angeles area in which
self defense could have saved a
victim's life or where it was
used with extreme effectiveness.
Underlying the discussion was
the fact that the best self de
fense is found in the application
ofbasic and practical precaution
ary steps that can be taken by
men and women everyday.
Always lock your house and
car doors and always carry car
keys in your hand when walking
through a parking lot so as not
to stand vulnerable while fumbl
ing for them in a purse or pocket.
Ignorance of these basic rules
can make you the potential vic
tim of an attack. It is difficult to
imagine attacks occurring in our
quiet community college environ
ment which has never, to my
knowledge, faced this problem.
But it must be remembered that
we are part of a larger community,
Los Angeles county, with one of
the highest number of reported
rapes in the United States. If
women are made aware of how to
handle themselves in an attack
situation, they will better be
able to co p e if a r ea l crisis
should arise, Ms. Celentano con
cluded.
Her lecture was the second
in a series sponsored by the
S.H.E. club. The next speaker w i l l be E d i e D e u tsch, a Los Angeles attorney and a member of the American Civil Liberties Union, who will speak on "Women in the Law" on Tuesday, March 5, in the Student Lounge.

Students resolve the theft problem by peer pres sure and reporting to the Student Personnel office.
Hire campus police. Campus police would be hired through COC's Police Science program, if possible, and their salaries would be paid by students through additional registration fees.
Hire a ful Hime security force, issue parking permits, and charge (Cont'd. on Page 4)

Contract let For Voe-Tech

The Board ofTrustees has approved a $1,159,000 contract to the R. J. Daum Cons truetion Co. of Gardena to build a Vocational-Technical building on campus.
Work on the site, located on a ridge south and west of the Bonelli Center for Instructional Resources (IRC) , will begin immediately.
The Voe-Tech building will be the sixth major structure (counting the stadium) under construction on campus.
When completed sometime in late spring, 1975, the one-story concrete building will provide a permanent home for two existing programs, the automotive and elr.ctronics, and several up-coming programs such as auto body, we l ding, a pp I iance re pair, air conditioning, plastics, and quality control.

New Stadium Needs A Name
By Judi Conklin

The Student Senate was approached recently by a member of the Board of Trustees and asked to give its reaction to the name "Cougar Stadium" for our as yet incomplete stadium.
As explained to senate members, name possibilities are limited. The name should be descriptive of the facility, yet it should not be a cause for flack from the community.
It is f e l t t ha t a n a m e c o n taining the name of any local community might cause hard feelings from other communities in the area. It was also pointed out that it would be inappropriate at this time to name the stadium after a person, living or dead.
A main concern of the senate is to guarantee students a voice in the naming of their stadium. Arrangements are being made for

[ Opinion
By Robert Springer

Once again the Califorriia state senate has decided to come to the aid of the people. Rather than burden the population, the senators took on the load of deciding the issue of lowering the drinking age to 18.
However,the senators seem to be overlooking one small detail in their hurry to decide the moral standards of this state . The bill sent them by the State Assembly cal ls for the issue to be settled by the voters of California.
In their usual king-like fashion, the senators have launched a great debate on the social and moral implications of lowering the drinking age, which would be fine if it were their decision to make. It is not.
The state senate seems to fear ma j or it y o pinion and to possess overconfidence in its "omniscient" leadership.
By failing to grant the voters their rightful voice, the senate indicates its usual reluctance to listen to the people.
It is the duty of the state se nate to allow the people to rule on the question of drinking rights f O"r 18-y ear-olds. It is the responsibility of the voters to insure the destruction of the double standard adult status now existing in this state.
Plan GodziIla Theater Troupe
If you are interested in drama and would like to do more than just talk about it or hear ideas that don't develop into realities, sign up or attend the up-coming meeting of the Godzilla Theater Company.
The club is being organized by Rick Signore t ti who said, "Godzilla Theater Company is looking for individuals interested in all phases of drama, acting, set design, audio and make-up. We wish to offer interested persons more than just words--we wish to present theater productions."
The club, presently with 15 members, is working on an original five-a c t p 1a y written by Ch a r 1i e Trip p. Auditions will start in approximately two weeks and a complete drama crew will be established.

Film Review
By Deborah Morrow

As mid-term time rolls around once mor e and one wonders if anything in this world makes sense, we may find a fellow sympathizer in woody Allen and his new movie Slee per. Woody undergoes a minor peptic ulcer operation, complications set in, and his body is frozen. To his bewilder ment, he thaws out 200 years later in 2173. From this point on, anything remotely resembling sanity is nonexistent as this anemic everyman of the 20th century attempts to cope with his own brave new, world.
Woody, learning that the existing big brother government
plans to re program his thinking facilities, disguises himself as a rob o t s e r v ant and finds his way into the home of an avantgarde and slightly innane poetess, Diane Keaton.
Although Woody tries his best to main t a in a mechanical cool while coping with such diversions as instant pudding and erotic party games, his true identity is discovered and his "social rehabilitation" begins.
Meanwhile, Ms. Keaton joins an underground movement in an effort to freeWoody and succeeds.
In one of the most joyful comedy teaming s since George Burns met Gracie Allen, they oppose and destroy the government leader. Diane loves the new political hero (Allen) and th ey ride off into the sunset.
The film's setting (the futur e) provides Allen with an abundance of mater i a 1 for his traditional one-liner replies to such provocative questions as: "What was it like to go without sex for 200 years?"
It also serves as th e perfect
v e h i c l e for some of the best
slapstick since Chaplin made

Modern Time:-,. The movie, rich in satir e, fir es barbs at everything from Howard Cos ell to McD on a 1d s hamburgers
All in all, if one has a yearning to see the return of the Marx brothers, with Groucho's saber
tongue, Harpo's physical agility, and Chic o's co n-man artistry, I'm happy to say they 've returned in the form of a slight, bes pect a c led f e l l ow to p p e d with a shock of red hair---the inc om parable Woody Allen.
Student Senate

(Cont'd. from Page 1) a student poll to determine their preference.
A growing problem on campus is the eratic parking. It seems as if the parking lots are turning into giant obstacle courses. The senate is considering solutions, ranging from hiring private police to patrol the lots, to giving members of the Police Science club the power to issue parking citations. 0 n e of these so 1utions will be put into effect soon.
Dr. Al Adelini, dean of student activities, announced that 18 coin-operated lockers for student use will be instal led at the Bonelli Center.
The lockers wi1 l be the moneyback variety. If the plan is successful, more lockers will be installed later.
Rick Signoretti, day senator, has announced that a series of slide shows will be presented in the Student Lounge. The shows, presented from 12 noon to 1 p.m., March 7, are being produced by COC students.
Josh Bottfeld, ASB vice president, asked for suggestions uf community service events that the senate can sponsor, such as the blood mob i 1e and the eyemobil e.

Critic Touts Talented Troupe Is Evolution Of

At Kentucky
By Brian Yorke
As the scene unfolds, atten
tion is focused on center stage
as two people are simulating a
love act under a blanket. Sud
denly a wild-eyed y outh throws
back the blanket and exclaims
"Golly, Mrs. Parker, I thought
you was Dale."
This is one excerpt from an utterly fantastic multi-media
comedy review staged currently
by a cast of six sound drama en
thusiasts at the Kentucky Fried
Theater in West Los Angeles.
The skits range from a spoof
on an old Kellogg cereal commer
cial to a take -off on the movie
Deliverance. starring Burt Reyn-

Fried Theater
olds. Reynolds is portrayed with baggy white gyms harts and a wet suit, carrying a bathroom plunger instead of the arrow from his bow and arrow movie scene.
Th e a c ting is sound. Five guys and a girl team up in a superbly cohesive unit as they frolic and romp on and off stage. The div e rs ifi c aion of acting talents along with the use of the multi-media special effects make this show a unique experience.
Everything portrayed on stage is a take-off of an everyday occurrence as, for example, "six o'clock news" and "shaving in the morning." These talented and intelligent performers shape a show that leaves the audience visors, two television sets, and
a few chairs.
The imaginative cast makes use of its audience in many ways. One part of the show involves improvisations. The audience provides a word or phrase and the tr o u p e transforms it into a one-line bombshell. Funny pictures appear on the walls, and comedic devices pop out of the ceiling. The audience is totally captivated, oblivious to the outside world.
Kentucky Fried Theater is loc ate d at 10303 W. Pico Blvd., and the name of the production is "Vegetables." Curtain goes up at 8 p.m. on weekdays and at 8 and 10: 15 p.m. on Fridays and
Saturdays. Admi ssion is reasonable, but res er v a tions are required.

By James Rogers
Sabbath. Bloody Sabbath is the fifth album, and probably the best, of what Black Sabbath has put out to date.
Some characteristics of Black Sabbath remain the same in all of their albums such as the strong beat and the heavy use of bass. The 1yr i cs of th is album, like
those of earlier albums, convey a definite fee ling of pessimism in human nature and a reliance upon the mystic.
The music just cooks. On Side 1 the album opens with the title song which starts strong and gets stronger, and before it ends it gears you down for the next piece, "A National Acrobat." This song starts out with a heavy slow beat that predictably picks up and starts kicking.
The 1as t song on Side 1 is called "Sabbra Cadabra." It is a 1o v e s on g with a fast rhythmic beat that never changes.
On Side 2 Sabbath starts out with " Killing Yourself to Live." This song starts lost, stays lost until the middle, then kicks into gear and stays hot for the rest of the number.
"Who Are You?" comes next with guitar, pianos, fuzz bass, me llotrons, synthesizers, drums, and timpani no less. I suggest you get primed with your favorite stash because you'll need it for this one. On a good stereo the sound goes through, into, and around your head with the greatest of ease.
"Looking for Today" follows with a rhythm that never stops. The song is the best on the album. It makes some sounds that are rare for Black Sabbath, and for any other group for that matter. The last song is "Spiral Architect." Besides the wide range of percussion, it is exotic for guitarist Tony Iommi to play bagpipes and for Geezer Butler, the bass player, to use his nose as a musical instrument.
O v e r a 11, this a 1bum does show that a gr o u p like Black Sabbath, that has put out nothing but solid albums, can outdo itself. Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath is another classic.

Man a Myth?
By Al Boykin
Students have for many years
been indoctrinated with the idea
that science has proved evolu
tion and that all scientists be
lieve in evolution. The Biblical
record of creation, we have been
assured, is no longer taken ser
iously by the well-informed.
One soon discovers, of course, that much of what is taught from classroom podiums and printed in c o s t l y t e x t books is mere human opinion even wishful thinking. The idea that evolution is a proven fact of science is a modern myth. Loud and frequent re pet it ion has made it sound credible.
Actually, at this moment there are thousands of well-qualified scientists and other educated professionals who have become convinced that the Biblical model of creation and the earth's history is far more scientific than is the evolutionary model. This despite the evolutionary indoctrination received in school.
If you enjoy forming your own opinions--especially on matters of such basic importance as this, sign the list on instructor William Baker's door: Room I-311. You'll receive a free packet of scientific literature out lining the credibility of special creation, no strings attached.
Campus Poets Plan Rec itaI
By Mary Cohen
Student poets Charlie Tripp
and Bob Eversz, using their own
contemporary works, will chal
1en g e the outmoded perception
that poetry is stuffy, irrelevant,
and fit only for intellectuals and
English teachers.
They will present a co-recital
at 12 noon, Thursday, Feb. 28,
in the Student Lounge.
"My idea in suggesting this recital," said Tripp, "is to promote a creative experience, not only for Bob and me, but for the audience as well. Too often an audience only sits and listens. I want to see reactions, feelings, and new thoughts. My work will provoke and challenge but that is not the point. I want to stimulate a creative response from the lethargic mass of COC students."
"The reasonI'm participating:' said Eversz, "is because I feel a need to express myself. My thoughts and meditations might be re 1e van t to others. Via my poems, fellow students will be ab 1e to see where I'm at as a poet. I believe all poets' themes are really themselves. Through my poetry I hope you will see ~er
The two student poets are di
verse in their approach to poetry. Tripp's style is provocative sometimes shocking, and is def~ in it 1y individualistic. Eversz' style is more conventional.

COC Track Team
Wins 1st Meet
By Brian Yorke

In its first track meet of the year COC easily defeated Antelope Valley 81 to 54, winning 11 of 16 events. The Cougars were led by sprinter Russell Nelson who won three individual events and also teamed up for two relay victories. Ron Engle set a new sch o o 1 record in the discus by throwing it 151' 3/4."
If you're wondering how a track meet is scored, here is a brief explanation. In a dual meet the point di st r i bution is first place, 5 points; second, 3 points, and third, point. In relay events on 1 y first place counts, with 5 points going to the winner. Most Western State Conference meets are three-school com petitions. In regular events it's 5 points for first; 3 point s for second; 2 points for third, and 1 point for fourth. In the relays it's 5 points for first and 3 points for second.
Our best event is the 440 yard

rim, and the weakest is the high jump. The ma in problem in the track program is lack of depth in the squad and inexperience because most are freshman.
The roster numbers only 16 which presents a problem in scheduling. The Cougars don't have enough men to go around. Athletes must run out of their natural categories. This causes inordinate fatigue and increases the possibility of injuries stemming from unfamiliarity with events.
Coach Monty Cartwright feels that the pu r po s e of track is to have fun. He tries to instill into his athletes the idea that to have fun is to perform at high efficiency.
He set two goals for his team. One is to improve the teamstanding in the conference, and the second is to improve individual performances.
College of the Canyons wil1 host an Al 1-Comers meet for its first home competition of the season on Thursday, Feb. 28. Last Friday the Cougar track and fields quad travelled to Santa Barbara for a triple meet.
3 Job Placement Speakers Are Set
Three guest speakers in the

area of job placement will appear
on camp us during the remainder
of the winter quarter.

All meet ings will be held in Room I-10.

Baseball Team Is "Promising"
COC'S baseball Cougars lost to Moorpark in the finals of the recent four-team tournament here by a score of 12-7, but the team generally speaking, l ooks promising for up-coming league competition.
B efo r e bowing to Moorpark, the Cougars defeated Santa Monica 4-3 and Ante l ope V alley 4-1, with Gary Pawlak the winning pitcher in both battles. He got the nod in the Santa Monica contest in relief of Mike Holt, who pitched a great six innings but was sabotaged by teammate errors.
Last Monday the Cougars defeated Los Angeles Harbor College "by a fieldgoal," to quote Coach Mike Gillespie. The score was 15-12, with Tommy Ottman the winning pitcher. The victory avenged an earlier 8-6 defeat by Harbor.
Amon g Cougar hitters, Mark Crnkovich, third baseman, and Len Mohney, who plays second base and left field, are the most consistent at this stage of the game.
The Cougars are playing interesting, occasionally exciting, baseball. They deserve student support, Next home game is Frid a y, March 1, with East Los Angeles College .

The Great Outdoors
By Fritz
Mammoth Mountain is one of

the best ski areas in this state.
It is neither too far away nor too
expensive for most skiers. There
is p I e nty of lodging and apres
ski activity in the town which is
onl y four miles from the s.ki areas.
Mammoth Mountain is a pain for the beg inner because there are so many of them, but anyone past the snowplow will love the m o u n t a i n. T h e r e are so many good intermediate runs that it is hard to pick the best one. Suggest ion: st i c k to chairs 1, 2, 4, 7 and 8.
The problem for many skiers

is the stage between interme
diate and advanced. For these
skiers I would suggest the face
of chair 3. The top of the run is
steep comparable to the cornice
with a lot of p e rfectly shaped
mo g u 1 s. The middle of the run
flattens out and gives the skier
t i m e t o w o r k on h i s s t y le or
speed. The end of the run is in
clear view of the lift line so it
does not hurt to show off a bit.
It is a good run and a fun run.
There are always many people at Mammoth on weekends so be pre pared to wait in line for the first couple of hours. Get to the mountain early. The parking lot is not as full as it yvill be at t h e e n d o f t h e day. If a group goes, stop at the main entrance to the 1 o d g e. While one person stands in line for the lift tickets another goes to look for a locker. If there is a fourth person, he or she should stand somewhere on the bottom floor so everyone knows where to meet after he has accomplished his task.
Try to schedu l e your runs when most people are at lunch. those times are between 11 :30
a.m. and 1 :30 p.m. Every thrPe or four runs, take a break and have some coffee, soup, or a bit of brandy.
Editorial

(Cont'd. from Page 1) the student body fees for obtaining these parking permits.
These options are presented

to the students of this campus
because there is in deed a major
theft problem.

Tape decks, clothing, windshie lds, tires, a 750 Honda motorcycle, and many more items have been stolen. The average of re ported thefts is almost one per day. Some victims have been burglarized twice.
Why are the students being asked to take action? The answer is two-fold.
There is reasonable evidence that other COC students are the burglars, and action should come from peer pressure.
The Student Senate and the Administration have no desire to bring police on campus,or charge all students parking fees for the inconsideration and flagrant disregard for the rights of others by a few indivictuals.
I have no desire to see police on campus.nor do I wish to pay additional fees to park my car to attend school. I feel that these attitudes are basically ~greeable to every student attending COC --especially the thieves.
Students, this is your last chance! In this situation we should push aside apathetic attitudes, resolve the theft problem through peer pressure, and ostracize the thieves. If not, we must resign ourselves to on-campus po 1ice and additional fees to attend COC.
What can we do? If you see individuals committing a th~ft, pass the word around. If you truly give a damn, re port it to the Student Personnel office located in the Office of Admissions and Record on the lower campus.
Take responsibility for the cure of this problem and act like intelligent human beings, or simply kick back and ignore and be watched continually while your already deflated dollar pays for security service. The choice is
yours.

Film Review
Brian Yorke

The movie, The Last Detail, starring Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid, is a story about injustice in the navy. Quaid is sentenced to jail for a preposterous number of years for allegedly pilfering funds from the favorite ch a r it y of t he c om man d ing officer's wife.
Quaid is 17, has never been drunk, and has never indulged in some of the finer things in life such as sex. Nicholson and a partner are given seven days to transport this innocent youth to prison.
Nicholson and his partner decide to let the kid have a good time on the way to prison. They fight with marines in a train station. The altercation starts in the rest room when a marine observes, "Navy man needs seven buttons on his fly," and Nicholson quickly rebuts, "If I was in the marines I wouldn't need any buttons."
other detours include visits

to a brothel and liquor stores.
Nie holson turns in his finest

dram at i c performance as "Bad
Ass." He adapts to his role so
well one gets the feeling he was
really in the navy.
Quaid also gives a commenda

ble performance as a wild-eyed
youth trying to cram 20 years of
living into one week.
The movie is well worth the

investment and is recommended
to all regardless of condition of
past s er\" it u d e in the armed
forces.
[ Book Review
By Rosanne Nocciolo

Po 1it i cs, politics, politics. Tod a y, more th an ever before, American citizens are confronted and concerned with politics and their affect on our way of life. Many agree that politics as practiced today are a far cry from ideals e n visioned by our country's founders. I became even more aware of problems politics can foster not only in our own country, but in other countries as well, after reading Graham Greene's The Honorary Consul (Simon and Schuster).
This contemporary novel is set
in a provincial Argentinian town governed by a brutal dictatorship which is harrassed by ineffective revolutionaries. An ineffectual British Consul is kidnapped by mistake by the revolutionaries, who are motivated by desires to benefit their "desperate people."
This idea of political blackmail to achieve benefits for "desperate people" has come home to roost in connection with the kidnapping of Ms. Patricia Hearst, with at least part of the ransom food for the poor.
The book makes interesting

reading. Greene creates a world
peculiarly his own, rooted in the
events and life of contemporary
South America, with its terrorists
and military dictators.
How ever, he creatively enh an ces the brooding political overtones with doses of faith, love and betrayal, further adding to the complexity of his novel. It is a c u r re n t book with current ideas.

noretti s o u n de d the horn of a
last last ditch effort before on
e amp us police are stationed at
all strategic places to insure the
peace and security of the parking
lots.
The lots were designed to
fa c i l it ate theft. They are ob
scured from view of the main body
of the school by buildings and
rolling hills. The most commonly
used lots are set in rear areas of
the school, hid den from street
view. A perfect set-up for rip
offs.
A major assumption in Signor
ctti's editorial was that students
are committing most of the bur
glaries. I have yet to see evi
ct enc e of this a]]egation. The
parking lot entrances are open to
a public street and, as far as I
can determine, no secret magical
barriers exist that prevent any
one in the community from enter-
ing and leaving at will. Further
more, what percent age of the
thefts were facilitated by un
locked cars?
T h e c o l l e g e _would be at a great disadvantage in trying to justify an increase in registration costs or student fees for "security." A security guard is no more tLan an ugly decoration.
Would these guards be allowed
to carry firearms? If so, wouldn't
that create the hazard of an ac
e id e n t al shooting by a over
zealous guard? But with no gun,
is a guard effective?
If a gun is allowed, who will decide when it is justified to pull the trigger? A security guard has no more right to threaten a person wHh a gun than does a private citizen. He faces the same penalties.
If the Student 6enate's and Sig n oretti's only solution to the "theft problem" is to restrict freedoms of the honest portion of the student body, they deserve contempt due a zoo keeper. The act of restricting freedoms only frustrates the honest and, for a short while, inconveniences the dishonest.
I will fight any attempt at this
school to make me pay for another "guardian" with powers to restrict and contain. To those who feel the need for a guard I say, "Pay for one yourselves out of your own funds."
The security police sugges
tion is a drastic, hasty, and con
venient "solution" to a problem.
But should it come about , I urge
students to object just as drast
ically.
IMusic Review I
By Ace
With a little faith, much help from a friend, and a good deal of luck, this intrepid reporter made his way recently to pay homage to the god of Rock'n'Roll and to witness the best show he's ever heard.
Bob Dylan and The Band are truly amazing. Dylan made ample

4-' demonstration of his blazing brilliance. Again. And again. And again, The Band shone, convincing me that it is the best around. Anywhere. That took some doing, en ta i l in g the upset of some strongly held prejudices. The music was performed bef ore a remarkably diverse audience. The crowd contained a large number of older people, such as are not usually seen at a rock and roll show. Reserved at first, they were caught up and carried al on g by the building energy levels as the concert progressed. That energy eventually r e ached an astounding high as the last number was played . I came in and laid back the best I could under the circumsta nces, my mouth watering in anticipation. It wasn't until The Ban d m o u n t e d t h e stage and kicked into "Most Likely-You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine," that I was jolted into full realization that the little guy with the electric stage presence was Dylan. Dylan played three sets with the ban ct.The performance was incredible. A biting version of "Lay Lady, Lay" a rousing "Rainy Day Women," "12 & 35," a beautiful "Bal lad of a Thin Man" with Dylan on piano, and a superb version of the Band's' 'I Sh all Be Re leased" were outstanding. The Band percolated through two sets around a solo accoustic set by Dylan. Playing such numbers as "Stage Fright," "Up on Cripple Creek," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and a brilliant version of "The Wait " , they cooked. That backwoods, down-home sound drew me to my body. I truly love them. Dylan's Accoustic set was superb. His poetry stood out, striking a chord in me, identifying succinctly personal fee lings and thoughts, shedding light on the subjective core of my being. I feel that he deserves recognition as a major poet of our times. Even his older political songs ("The Times, They Are A 'Changing" hav e a universality about them. A fine "Just Like a Woman 11 was inc l u ct e ct in the set, but a savage "It's All Right Ma" set the tone. The audience . gave a
s tan ct in g ovation to the line, "And sometimes even the President has to stand naked."

The final set was remarkable . By the time the concert ended with "Like a Rolling Stone," the entire audience was on its feet stomping, dancing, clapping, singing, and yelling. Waves of electricity reverberated between the musicians and audience. It was joyous--a celebration. I left s mil i _ng from the very depths of my soul.

Brawl Explodes In East LA Game
By Joe Di Tomaso

The baseball team won two impressive games against East Los Angeles and El Camino last week and finally appear capable of winning the Western State Conference race which began last Saturday at Moorpark
The C o u gars are trying to avenge an earlier loss to the Bu 11 dogs who won the second annual COC baseball tournament three weeks ago. COC, along with Allan Hancock and Ventura, is a pre-season favorite to win the league championship.
Friday's victory against East

L.A. was marred by a brawl in which two players from C OC were hurt and required stitches. Tommy Ottman suffered a gash in the head after being kicked by a cleat-wearing Husky and Robert Corrales was cleated in the thigh after an inning-ending doublePlay moments before the me lee erupted. The game had gone 6½ innings before the fight began and the umpires called it at that point with the Cougars ahead 4-1.
It marked the third victory in thr;e decisions for pitcher Mike Holt, who earlier this season was drafted by the California Angels. Holt is the Cougar ace and has a phen omen al 0.41 earned run average.
COC beat El Camino Tuesday 9-3. Ed McElroy, who lost to El Camino last month, pitched an outstanding game and picked up his second win of the year. The Cougars had 17 hits with Steve Smith, Rob e rt Corrales, and Chuck Lyons getting 3 each .

Opinion
Brian Yorke

The W a t e r g a t e discl os u H's have caused the average citizen to distrust the political system, resulting in an attitude of "Why should I get involveaJ" Watergate should invoke exact ly thL' opposite reaction. People should p e o p l e m us t . again g c t in touch with the political system.
Watergate probably wasn't the first political espionage plot but hopefully it will be the last. The l pg isl ate laws that reflect the w is h es oft he p<~o plc> and not those of the largPst corporations in thP Unit ('d StatPs.
This, hoWL'Vl'r, will not be enough.Unless the individual cit i z l' n becomes involved, this country0 is doomed to more presidPnts like Dick Nixon and more \Vatergates. The choice is yours . al I yours.

The road to regaining control over the system is a long and tedious one. Politicians will fall by th e wayside and new laws will supplant the old and oppressive. New fre edoms must be instigated in an attempt to permit the people to run the government instead of the government running the people.
T h e same debilitating apathy that caused Watergate is threat ening proposed reforms designed to curb political powers. New laws are essential to facilitate the take-over by the American
people of their government. The Constitution directs that the government must reflect the wishes of the people and not the reverse.
New systems of checks and balances , together with forever-vigil communications media coverage, will force politicians to tionally male profession such as law, they often seek to become imitation men because there are few female models for them to follow," said Atty.

Media Warps
Women's Image
By Deborah Morrow

The communication media reflect the public's views of itself. But sometimes the reflections are distorted. In the case of women, media distortion often reaches the point of fantasy.
This fantasy of what women are "supposed" to be is the creation of our own misconceptions based on time-worn stereotypes of women, and inMadisonAvenue selling techniques that manipulate these misconceptions to sell products.
To be sure, men are also victims of this distortion, but usually not to such an extreme. One of Madison Avenue's most popular devices is the use of fem al e an at om y t o bring "sex appeal" to a product. This is the mindless body that serves as decoration for everything from mufflers to deodorants. Theimplications are clear. She's there to seduce the potential customer 1 with the subtle inference that she, too, can be bought just as ea s i l y. After a 1l, she doesn't think, she only smiles.
Then there is the "commercial" ho us e w ife. For her, t he meaning of life revolves around what kind of floor cleaner she's going to choose. Her only justification for living (in her mind, anyway) is the fact that she has a husband and children.
She is always perfect. And a 1w a y s plastic. Her purpose in life g o e s no farther than making sure that her guests don't see the spots on her crystal. It's sad to think that this stereotype has convinced many women that if their own homes aren't run a~ immaculately as those on te levision, they are failures as wives
and mothers.
Anotherold standbyisthe
"mysterious" woman. She is

usually seen in perfume and cosmetic ads. Her only purpose is to convince the customer that by using a certain product she, too, may become "mysterious." Hers is an inwarckl irected coyness that s u r vi v e s on the old myths of
"woman's intuition," and that somehow women are suppose! to be different.
Madison Avenue has even found a way of making money from its stereotype of the "liberated" woman. Advertisers represent her as the woman who has found self-awareness by smoking a V i r gin i a S l i ms and who has "Come a long way, Baby."
Unfortunatly, we have not really come sucha long way. Until the media represent women not as stereotypes, but as real peo-/ ple, we still have a long way to go.
TV SPEAKER

Ann Hassett, KNBC-TV producer, wil 1 discuss "The Image of Women in Television" at 12 noon, Tuesday, April 16 1 in the Student Lounge. The event is sponsored by S.H.E. 1 AWS, and the department of community services.
As Phony As An Oscar, Say You?
By Debbie Bush
Have the Oscar awards lo st
their sparkle , excitement, and
value? Are the best movies , ac
tors, and directorsreally chosen?
The Canyon Call's Inquiring Re
porter asked a number of stu
dents.
"I liked the streaker, the
movie The Sting ('best film'), and
Raqu e l Welch was lovely," said
Neal Drell. "Jack L emon was far
out and David Niven was neat.
But Tatum O'Neal shouldn't have
won ('best supporting actress')."
(A lone male str eaker inter
rupted David Niven's appearance
at the podium and Niven's retort
was so clever that many thought
the entire business had been re
hearsed).
Bob Mason was please d that The Stinq won and that The Exorcist did not. "The Exorcist is a fad," he said. "These stu
pid movies are going out. The Oscar used to be a highly honored award.But not any more."
"The Exorcist got jobbed," in the opinion of Joe Murphy. "American Graffiti was 'vastly under-rated."
He also recommended that singers most responsible for a hit record should sing the song at the Oscar show.
In the opinion of Sue Yale, "Everyone on the Academy is too conservative."
She thought American Graffiti should have won "best picture" and that G Jenda Jackson sho11ld
not have won _"best actress:
Tammy Nelson thinks the
a wards "are phony, fake, and
political." ." I was glad The
Exorcist didn't win. It had mo
ments of quality but there
weren't enough of them."

Opinion
By Nona Yates

In Texas a young man was arrested for possession of one marijuana cigarette and received a life sent e nee. Three-fourths of the people who are arrested on marijuana charges have had no previous criminal record. There are approximately 20 to 30 million people in the United States who are marijuana users. Penalties for marijuana-related arrests range from a $100 fine (just passed in Oregon) to life imprisonment pl us a $30,000 fine.
After conducting an exhaustive study of marijuana, the Presi-, dent's Commission on Dangerous Drugs and Narcotics recommended that it be de c r i minalized. Dicky, in typical Nixon style, refused to hear anything that his own commission had said.
In 197 1 the pea ple of California voted on Proposition 19, the Ca Iif ornia marijuana initiative, a proposition to decriminalize marijuana. This means that if it had passed, it would no longer be a crime go grow or possess (or smoke) marijuana for private use. More than 33 ,000.or one-third, of the voters fa,vored it.
This year another decriminalization measure was planned to be put on the ballot. This effort has failed. Why? Bee ause people who worked for it couldn't get enough signatures by the F ebruary deadline to put it on the ballot. It didn't fail because of opposition. It failed because of insufficient publicity. And it failed because many people wouldn't and didn't get off their asses to help the effort succeed. The y didn't help for two reasons: apathy and overconfidence.
The apathy is self-ex planatory for anyone who goes to this sch o o 1. The overconfidence is this: People are so accustomed to having pot around that sometimes it seems almost legal. Its use i s so widespread and acceptable in many social circles that many people felt it would get on the ballot with no trouble at all. Because of this overconfidence, many people didn't try as hard as they should have.

When I first heard that the measure had failed to get on the ballot, I was amazed. It's a misfortune that this effort failed. If it had appeared on the ballot, it probably would have passed and thousands of Californians would be able to avoid the hassles caused by the re press i ve social 1e g is 1at ion that is now on the books. But now the thousands of Californians must keep hassling and many will go to jail.
This setback does not mean people should quit trying to get marijuana laws changed. While everyone is waiting for the next b a 11 o t measure to come around, there is much that can be done. To learn what you can do to help write to:

Sharp Is Sharp
-On Golf links
By Luis Murdock

Will the Cougar golf team be represented in the up-coming Western State Conference finals?
Coach Lee Smelser thinks that one memper of the team. Jim Sh a r p, has an excellent chance if he c on tin u es his good golf. Sharp has averaged 81 strokes in match competition and is improving.
The team as a whole, however, has won only one of five matches.
"This is due principally to lack of experience." said Smelser. "Half the team has never played competitive golf before."
In addition to Sharp, the team captain, other squad members are Dave Bay 1es s, Dick Brunnek, Larry Kirk, John Nigh, Roger Wolf. and Al Villasenor.
Th e C o u gars wil1 play at home against Moorpark April 23; Ventura April 30; ComptonMay 1, and Glendale May 2.

I am constantly being made aware of quote, "our tradition," yet if one does look at our country's formation and tradition, he will see that our basis for operation was founded on revolution. The Declaration of Independence
is the most revolutionary piece of material in print. One quote from it substantiates this statement.
"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to 3:bolish it, and institute new government."

IMusic Review j
By Ace
T h e o t h e r d a y s o me good friends and I made it to Santa Barbara to experience the sun, sea breeze, and fine, fine music. A better way to spend a Saturday afternoon, I can't imagine. The crowd, in excess of 20,000 DEAD freaks, was mellow, coming only to revel in rock'n'roll and celebrate the DEAD. The light show, co urt esy of Apollo, was incredible . and the music. Ahhh, the music.
It began at 11 a.m., with accoustic blue grass by the Jncredib le String Ore hestra and Jerry Garcia's String Band. Their set
featured some excellent fiddling
by Ste phen Green. Their one-hour se ssion was followedbythe amazing Maria Maldaur. Aside f rom being a fox, that lady can sing most remarkably. Her clear tones are backed up by an extremely competent band.
"Midnight at the Oasis," ost e nsibly written by the rhythm guitar player after a night on a waterbed, featured some very fine guitar harmonies, very suitable in the context of the song.
Then came the band most peop}e had come to hear. The Grateful Dead were in form, and when they are in form they are the best. Numero Uno (admittedly, al o n g w i t h a h a n d f u l of other bands). They rode a wave of good feelings through two extended sets totaling four and a half hours. The Dead again came up to expectations doing what they do best--the extended jam.
The performance was highlighted by a much-improvided medley starting off with "True kin," t hr o u gh "Weather Re port," and concluding it with "Wharf Rat,"
At one point, Jerry Garcia's guitar, and KeithGodchaux's piano spiraled to inter play to the very reaches of the heavens over Phil Lesh's laid-back polyphonic bass and Bob Weir's unique rhythm guitar. It was c r y s t alline. Beautiful.
Good people, good music, and
gocxi vibrations. No California, Jam for me. The Grateful Dead's University of California, Santa Barbara concert is all that a daytime concert should be, It was a
well-spent afternoon of revelry and reverie under mag n ificant sun.

Back Pay Set For Veteran-s
Veterans who were on active duty between Oct. 1, 1972, and Jan. 1, 1973, are eligible for a retroactive pay raise depending on rank and length of service, an- nounced Curt Davis, veterans' advisor at COC.
Service personnel on active duty all or part of that time, including those discharged since then, are eligible to receive the additional compensation.
Davis said that eligible campus veterans may obtain for ms (Department of Defense #827) in a few days or at a local recruiting office. The veterans' headquarters on campus is in Room S-4 in the Student activities center.
Female students interested in participating in field and track during the 1975 season are asked to contact Coach Mont y C art wright in Room PE-4 or b y t e l e phone at 259-7800, Ext. 50.
110 degrees, and at 11 p.m. it was still 89. Everyone went for a swim before settling down for the night.
Rising early to avoid the heat the group headed for the Badwater which is 279feetbelow sea level.
The group left Death Valley via Shoshone, then on to Calico making several stops to view the topography and pick up specimens for private collections.
Toeveryone's delight,the Calico spring festival was in full swing. Some participated in the many contests which included banjo and fiddle playing, egg throwing, horseshoe pitching, mule saddling, and pie eating.
We urge all who have a love for the out-of-doors to make the trip in the fall.

Cougars Howl In Regionals
By Rosanne Nocciolo

It was a rough and tough battl e to the very end, but the COC Cougar nine gave up two big games to the visiting San Diego City College team during the recent Southern California regional state tournament-and came in second.
T he Cou gars won two games and lost two during the tourney, playing a Sunday game with the ultimate winner (San Diego) to determine the regional champion.
The tournam e nt started off dramatically for the Cougars with an 8-5 win o v e r L o s Angeles City College on Thursday (May 16), thanks to a grand slam homer smacked by right fielder Marty Slimak.
On Friday the Cougars finished off the San Diego team by a score of 9-6 in an extra-inning
(12) game for their second ,win.
Slimak was the big gun again with a 3-run homer after a single by Mark Crnkovich, asacrifice by Steve Smith, and a walk to Robert Corrales.
Gary Pawlak, who won in relief the two critical head-to-head games with Allan Hancock earlier this month that gave the Cougars a share of the WSC title, was the winner of both games, the first (LACC) as a starter, and the second against San Diego in

In all, the Cougars played San

Diego three times. The second
game was a "laugher." Thanks
to a barrage of homeruns by San
Diego, the "cats" were finally
k nocked off by a bizarre "foot
ball" score of 23-15!
The irony of it all is that the

Cougars were ahead by10-2 in
the second inning. The lead
changed five times.
Both teams were well re pre

sented in the stick-swingin', bat

Diego out-slugged us 21 hits to .

The crux of the matter--san

Diego' s pitching staff out-lasted
the Cougars'.
The Cougars season record

stands at 26-14and that's

Jenee as any individual can read in a history book.
Lastly, we should take the time to look at ourselves. We've been told and we tell our children, "Two wrongs don't make a right," yet we continually ignore this self-preached concept.
When a situation like the SLA arises, we don1t consider the re as on in g be hind it. We only think, "Let's squash it out. Theres nothing wrong with us. It's all a communist plot." what
perf e~t rationalization.
Un f or t u n a t e l y, most of the change that occurs around us is not from a newly reached state of awareness, but from fear. An ex
ample of this is the racial conflict that swept this country. I firmly believe that the changes that o c cur red were not because
people became enlightened and said this is wrong, but because they were afraid racial turmoil would destroy this country. What a pity. This is growth, but a mutatP,d one.
Look beyond the actions of the SLA. Look at the reasoning and problems and confront them, taking action to move forward. Kidnapping, robbing, and burning people to death is not the answer. Jefferson once said, "The earth be 1on gs to the living, not the dead."
Two Cougars
Make AllmSlate
By Brian Yorke

For the first time in COC history, two baseball players have been named to the All-State first team.
They are Robert Corrales and Marty Slimak~
Corrales, a shortstop, hit .449 in league play, the highest in the state. He was also named to the All-District 8 team which includes all of California and parts of Nevada and Oregon. This makes him eligible fir consideration for All-America selection.
Slimak, a right fielder, hit .390 for the season and led the WSB in runs batted in with 19. An outstanding clutch hitter, he hit two game-winning home runs during
the play-offs. One was a grand
slammer and the other a three-run
blast.
COC also landed four players
on the All-South e r n California
Community College baseball
teams. Corr ales and Slimak
made the 'first team and Gary
Pawlak, pitcher, and Steve Smith,
second baseman, the second team.
The counseling office announces that counselors will be on duty all summer at Coll ege of the Canyons. In addition, students may register for fall classes during June, July, August, and early Sept ember.
This new policy will be operative for the first time at coc.
A counselor will be available daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and registration may also take place during the same hours.
