Accelerated classes mean con-densed work and eoncentratedhours-and that apparently ap-peals to many. FCC's firstlarge-scale accelerated semesterprogram has been rated asuccess.

"The first impact cf theaccelerated schedule lookspromising," said Dr. ArthurEllish, dean of instruction. "Itprovides the student with alter-natives, and that's one of theadvantages of the program."

Accelerated classes are nine-to l3-week classes through whichstudents may earn up to 12 unitsof college credit. This is possibleby increasing the hours per weeknormally scheduled for meetingsand studying.

The number and tyPe ofShort-term classes were in-creased to accommodate thosestudents affected by this semes-ter's earlier starting date. Theseclasses have been offered in the

past, but never on such a largescale or with as much publicity.

Nearly 1,2(X) enrolled in theprogram, 868 of w-hich wene new3tuìients not enrolled for regularsemester classes. The majority ofstudents involved had favorablereactions: in a survey of 200students from classes beginningthe week of Sept. 26, 86 percentrated the accelerated schedule"an excellent idea," 13 percentcalled it "OK," and one percentsaid it was a "bad idea."

Asked if they would enroll inan accelerated course in a futuresemester, 96 percent said yes,four percent answered no,(Students' reasons for enrollingin the classes are presented ínthe boxed table.)

Ellish said that the expandedprogram is an improvementbecause accelerated classes inthe past were mainly specialstudies courses. "In the students'interest, many of the short-term

classes are now more basiccourses," he explained.

How do the instructors viewthe accelerated elasses? "Mosthave taught this type of schedulebefore," said Ellish. "It's similarto a summer session. And, this ison a volunteer basis; most of theinstructors who are teaching theacgelerated classes are parttimeor ar-e doing it on overload."

Ellish said the instructors arenot neceSsarily opposed to o¡ infavor of the program. "Theclasses meet the same number ofhoursr-it's just another way toteach a class."

If instructors are not particu-larly affected by the acceleratedsemester, the registration andrecords staffs do feel the effects.

"It didn't permit us to catch upon back work from late registra-tion," said records officer ShirleyLea. "We usually have threeweeks (to catch up)-it was atremendous challenge to get atlthe paperwork done."

One employee, Vivian Stadtey,observed, "We continued to havécounter business ¿lmost con-stantly; we normally have slackbetween semesters:"

Lea explained that they wouldbe better prepared in the future,and added that the accelerated' semester was "great. There areso many students who don't getin to apply on time for ¡egularclasses. Some people from FSUare referring their people here tocomplete some of their work."

There are some criticisms ofthe program, one of which is theconcern that it may be promotedin favor of the regular schedule.

"I don't want to look at it as asubstitute for the regular semes-ter," Ellish explained. "It is analternative; it should be used assupplementary to regularclasses."

In part of the student survey, 200 students were asked tocheck those options applicable to the question "What causedyou to enroll in an accelerated course?" They answered asfollows:

words "history dass" probablybring back memories of boringlectures and long essay tests.

But History I, the study ofwestern civilization. on the FCCcampus is not your averagehistory class as a recent field tripto Hearst's Castle exemplified.

The trip, which took place onSaturday, was taken, in instruc-tor Donald Larsen's words, "togive the students a chance to seewhat they study."

Most of the c¿stle, which wasst¿rted in 1919, is furnished withantiques .from Europe thoughother cultu¡es such as the Orientare represented also. Even someof the ceilings served the samepurpose in famous Europearbuildinç.

The castle was owned by

ewspaper publisher William-.andolph Hearst. Hearst, whoidied in 1951, was the father oflSan Francisco Examiner pub-lisher William Randolph Hearst,Jr. and the grandfather of PattyiHearst.

He owned 2l newspapers. The'Hearst Castle property wasgiven by his family to the state ofCalifornia upon his deatL

lVhen asked why he gives fieldl,rips in his class, Larsen replied,"It helps the student to under-stand the course better." theelass also takes a trip to SanFr¿ncisco to visit several i

museums there.Larsen also feels that the class

is one that most students shouldtake. "The class gives thestudent, a basic background inmost areas of study," he said.

"The records say it all," statedHeck. Crowell added, "The wholeline has to be good for everythingto work right, and all our linemeñplayed great ball during theseason."

The other members ol' the line'who <:ontributed to the su<:ee¡s oflhe Ram running game includedþuard Al Avila, ¡¡uarcl Glen Boyd,i,acklt' Mike Foristiere and guardJohn Newman.

There is an old sayinglthat achain is 'only as strong as itsweakest link, nnd both blockersagree that the cliche fits whenyou're talking about ¿rn offensiveline.

"If someone misses an assign-ment, it makes the whole linelook bad," stated Crowell, "so ifeveryone doesn't do a good job,you won't look good."

Heck added, "Anytime yourrunning backs average six yardsa carry, you have to have a solidline."

For both players football hasbeen something they have grownup with. Crowell, who went toClovis High, became a centerbecause "I was too small to playanywhere else in the line."

Heck, from Washington Union,was influenced by his brotherPhil, who was drafted by the I

Oakland Raiders. "Phil more orless taught me how to train forthe football season," said Heck.

Both also give a lot of credit tooffensive line coach Jack Mattox.

Heck stated, "He taught me newtechniques on how to block."

Crowell added, "He is good atüeaching you all of the bestfundamentals." Both considerMattox to be one of the top linecoaches around.

Mattox also thinks highly ofthe two blockers. "They gave usthe one-two punch we needed tohave a great line," he said.

Both players *""e happy toreceive first-team honors on theAll-Conference squad. "It wasrecognition for all of the hardwork we've done," said Hec.k.

Crowell added, "You have tobe good, but you also have to be

lucky. Any of our startinglinemen could have made theteam." Crowell was named as the

top lineman by both FCC and theValley Conference.

Both are also pleased tþ belinemen. "It makes you feel goodwhen you make a block thatturns an average play into a biggainer," said Crowell. Heckadded, "It's when you hustle thatyour backs get their yardage."

Crowell and Heck also wouldlike to continue playing at afour-year school. Heck said, "Ijust enjoy football and I want tokeep on playing."

But though Heck has hadoffers, Crowell's size has hurt hischances. "I just want a chance,"stated Crowell. "IfI get a chance,I know I can play."-

FIIM REVIEW

'seogullsr''tunhouse'nol worth odmiision

As usuallY happens with ûlmCstrme a¡e so bad that they do thcproverbial bad penny-kgep turning up. A recent example of thiswas "Night of the Seagulls" and"tr\¡nhouge."

'F\¡nhouse' can slso be called'"The Manson Family TakesHome Movies.' Tbe film revolvesa¡ound a secalled plot, on whichrþmeione wasted an awful lot ofmoney producing. The vill¿in (inthis kÍnd qf film there is no hero)is a recycled psycho who decidesto w¡ste people i¡ order to c¿tclthem on frIm. As the man says,"It looks real bee¿use it is real."A film you would definitely wantle miss, if it were not for itscofeature.

'Night Lt tn" Seagulls" isapparently a Spanish or Itali¿nfilmwith horrible dubbing that ismore frightening than the frlmitself. The soe¿lled,dead bodiesthat romp the village are verywell-handled, bt¡t the scrþt isweak. My friend and I hadguessed the outcome after thefirst ten minutes.

The film's one redeemingfactor is a character n¿med"Teddy", who is not onlyMongoloid, but crippled. A kindof sympathy was developed forthis one person in the film whodid not deserve to die, but did.The beach sacrifices scenes withthe half-naked village maidensare hysterical to watch as the'living dead'arrive to take themaway.

Although both films are notcurrently playing, I remind youthat bad films have a tendency toshow up, and so will these. Whenthey do come, make sure you'don't go see them.

ELP's " WoÍks" works ogo¡n

Emerson, Lake & PalmerWorks Volume IIsD19147

By David Coulson'

Once again the classical-rockconglomerate Emerson, rtake &Palmer have shown how versa-tile they can be with the releaseof "Works Volume f[."

Whereas "lVorks Volume I"used musical forms as varied asclassical, jazz, lolk, and rock,"Works Volume II" shows moreforms still.

As always, Keith Emersondominates the music with hisvirtuoso keyboard playing.Though he does an excellent jobon the synthesizer and theharpsichord, it is his ragtimepiano playing tb¿t stands out.

The album starts off with"Tigér in a Spotlight," whichblends all of the elements thathave made ELP successful. Thecut v¿as written -by the groupwith help from Pete Sinfield, whoalso contributes his lyrics to fourother songs on the album.

Ne::+, is an instrumental cuttitleci "'When the Apple BlossomsEioorn in the Windmills of YourMind i'll be You¡ Valentine."Despite the strange title, thèsong has to rat_e as one of ELP'sbesù instrumentals.

Carl Palmer shows off his skillson tuned percussion on the tune"Bullffog." It was co-written by

Palmer with Ron Aspery andColin Hodgkinson, a paft of. jazzmusrc¡ans.

"Brain Salad Surgery" is thetitle ofthe next track. The song,released as a single back in 1974,sounds a lot like some of the stuffoff the album of thê same name.

"Barrelhouse Shake-down" isthe next cut. On this, Emersonplays ragtime piano backedrrp byan orchestra

Lake's other ballads, such as"Lucky Man" and "Still. ..YouTurn Me On."

The second side opens with"So Far to Fall" with ìhe groupbeing backed up by orchestra.Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag"is the next cut with Emerson

'being helped by the LondonPhilharmonic Orchestra.

Just in time for the season isthe Lake and Sinfield song "Ibelieve in Father Christmas."The song is highlighted by Lake'stwelvestring acoustic guitar.

Another Palmer tune, "CloseBut Not Touching," is next on thealbum. IVritten with HarrySouth, the song exhibitsPalmer's speed on a drum kit.

Meade Lux Lewis' "HonkyTonk lrain Blues" is the nextcut. Emerson plays honky tonl'piano with suppo¡t froìm orches-tra. The tune was originally

recorded by Emerson in theearly '70's.

The album ends with IrvingKing's "Show Me the Way to goHome." Lake's stylish vocals,Emerson's jazz piano playing,and a full orchestra all enhancethe song's performance,

With this album and "WorksVolume I," ELP has shown thecritics that they are able toevolve musically without losingany of their quality.

This is an album that anyonewould like if they like to hearmusic of the highest quality.
