Two FCC classes in paralegaltraining were cancelled tltissemester. Business DivisionDean Gervase Eckenrod said lowenrollment was the c¿use of thec¿ncellation. Some of the stu-dents who were enrolled in theclasses disagree.

the two classes cancelled wereLegal Research (AA2) and LawOffice Management (AA5).

"Last fall the classes weren'tvery large, but larger than thissemester. There were eightstudents in one class and lf inthe other. Both classes eould holdu,pto22 students. There was toolow enrollment. Bec¿use of Prop.13, I had to cancel the classes,"said Eckenrod.

Kathy Coz,zi, an FCC studentsaid, "I went to class Thursdavnight, Jan. 18, and found ouid.{,5 had been cancelled duringregistration. I wasn't notifiedand neither was the teacher.There were l7 or 18 people at

enrolled in that program. Somestudents only had three units leftto complete.

FCC is the only school in theSan Joaquin Valley that offersthe program. "About 12 otherschools in California offer theprogtam. IVho knows, they maybe experiencing the same tow':nrollment problem," saidEckenrod.

Dean of Instruction ArthurEllish said, "'We'll have to offer atleast one of the classes nextsemester even if there's lowenrollment."

The question of whether theprogram will be canceüed forgood or reinstated seems to bejust that, a question.

There will be an advisorycommittee meeting Feb. 20 toreconsider the program, itsviability and what will be done inbhe future.

Next week: More aboutstudents who were in theprogram, and the teachers whowould have taught the eancelþdclasses.

"IVe have tried to work withthe college, advisory group, theloeal police chiefs and areausers... overall we haven't seenany progless," stated Bradley W.Koch, executive director ofPOST, the statewide organiza-tion responsible for the recentdecertifieation of the FCC policeac¡demy.

The Peace Officers StandardTraining Commission is made upof 11 gubernatorial appointees,and funded through a percentageof fines paid to various lawenforcement agencies through-out the s¡ate.

"I have assigned the directorof the operations division, OttoH. Faltenberger, to work with(FCC) president (Clyde) McCullYon this matter," Koch went on tosay. He said the basic reason fordecertifying the program camedown to "user need." If the local '

agencies weren't going to beusing the program, the commis-sion saw no need in having one.

lilhen asked about POST'sactions, Dr. Arthur D. Ellish'dean of instruôtion, had this tosav: "In December we receivedthä letter from POST decertifY-ing the program. The reasonst¿ted wal bec¿use we had lostthe confidence of local lawenforcement agencies. Giventhat reason, I don't know what todo. lVe requested more sPecificinformation, to review the

, situation at hand."

Ellish also spoke about theadvsiory comhittee made up-ofpolice chiefs and sheriffs fromFresno and the surroundingaress: "lf,i'e rely very heavily onadviee and recommendationsthat come from this committee.$re üke to think that we listenedvery closely, but obviously wehaven't. Otherwise, why wouldthey lose confidenee i¡ us.However, I feel our records show

that we have responded positiveIy to their recommendationg."

Two years ago POST sent tworepresentativeg here, to reviewthe police aeademy. Their con-clusion was that the programwas too stressful both physicallyand psychologically. they recom-mended the program be changedto reduce the stress:

Ellish went on to say that thenecessary changes were met andthey reeeived a letter from POSTcommending them on thechanges. This was in Octobert977.

"Before we received the letterof dece¡tification we had no prior

was goingwe are still

ht to theattention ofthe board of trusteesat a special meeting Jan. 5. Ellishstated that although rePresenta-tive's from all loc¿l law enforce'ment agencies were invited toattend, only three were Present'"and it was apparent that theYdidnlt agree among themselvesas to what degree of stress wasneeded, or as to whether ourprogrsm was too stressful. Itseems that larger agencies suchas the Fresno PD don't wantstress programs but smaller onesdo."

SheriffEd Bates from Madera.who attended the district meet-ing, had this to say: "Some lawenforcement officials feel that allrecruits need is sufficient ac¿-demic training to handle the job,but that just isn't enough

, anymore. I would prefer thatthey find out what type of stressthey may be in for before leaving';he academy.

"Wh'en my officers come out ofthe aeademy they're capable, andable to handle aay situatiou. ltisgoes for women resuits too. Îmsure a criminal isn't going to give

B¿tes also commented on aststement Fresno County SheriffHal McKinney made at themeeting.

Virgina Sanchez, director ofthe Head Start program. said,'All applications will be pre-sented tô the Pa¡ent ScreeningCommittee. The'committee willdecide which children will beallowed to enter. No n¿mes willbe seen by'the committee, so alldecisions will be bias free.'l

Ms. Sanchez also asked thatparents volunteer time and helpto the progrsm, as studentinvolvement is vital to thesuecess of the program and toeventually getting it loeated oncampus.

For parents without piivatetraneportation, a shuttle bus willbe avail¿ble to t¿ke the childrenfrom their pa¡ents to the cente¡and beck. The designated pickupplace and schedi¡le h¿s not beenohfi¡m€d.

When I was approached to lookinto the singular matter of thesummary and curious eliminationof two of the three attorneyassiståut program classes on thevery first night of their meetingthis semester, I was initiallyskeptical of the allegationsleveled by the distraught stu-dents who had futilely registeredfor those clssses.

After all was I to give anycredence to assertions that aBusiness Divisiou dean wouldstride into the middle of the firstmeetings of two courses in acertificating program which hadbeen painstakingly and consci-entiously a¡chitected by nem-bers of the local bar ¿s'socistionand bench to serve a well-recog-nizcd sociocommunity need, andcasually announce that thosesourses were cancelled, bewild-ering equelly both student^s and'attorney instructor? Goodnessno!

There isn't any administratorin a Galiforni¿ public college whois daffy enough to jeopardize thetim. ely g¡aduation and eertiñc¿-tion of qualified individualsinterested in entering a specialtywhich is manifestly fundamentalto our increasingly litigioussociety, while tax funds are stlllfinancing."Beginning B¿dmin-ton," "Beginning Body Buildiug,""Ira Raz¿ Studies," "Intermedi-ate TapDaneing," and a host ofother similarly fatuous and/orunintellectu¿l absurdities.

Such a move would constitute"academistrative" malpractice ofthe most flagrant order, and itwould be uncoúscionably viola-tive of the l¿udable principlebehi¡d public funding of highereducation, wouldn't it?

You bet it would; however,that scenario is precisely what

occurred during the initialmeetings this s€mester of both"Legal Research" and "LawOfñce Management." And, it isimportant to note in conjunctiolwith this facto vituperabile thatthe FCC attorney assistantprogmm is the only one of itskind in the publiò college systemof Californi¿, and sever¿l of itsenrollees displaced themsclvesfrom their localities at thesuggestion of members of thelegal eommunity and temporarilymoved to Fresno to partieþate inir.

Taken within the context ofthe purpose and history of itscreation, the uniqueness of itsexistence, and the importance ofits product to the well-being ofthe entire macrùsommunity ofthis stste, tbere exists ¡ot even aplauaible r'ationalization, letalone subst¿ntive justification,for the attorney assistant pregram to have been recklesslyhobbled, if not indeed destroyed,by this arbitrary c¿ncellation ôf%rds of the semester's qourses afull three weeks before the end ofthe l¿te registration period.

If cempounding the magritudeof reprehension associated withthis actio¡ is possible, which Idoubt, it's pertinent to note thatone student in it only needed onemoie cl¿ss for graduation, andseveral others only needed asemester worth of classes forsame,

If administrative heads don'troll in this matter, then let thetrustees beware of the nextelestion; when the captains ofaeademia run our educationalvessel aground on the shoals ofinelevancy and irresponsibilitydue to intelleetual shortsighted-ness. then it's time to effect achange of command.

"Movie, Movie'was ver¡r good,very good. Cliche, diehe, butthat's the only way one csn opena movie review ¡bout ¿ filur th¿thas so many cliches it's ¡otfunny. Correction, it is funny, butit tends to be a bit tledious attimes with lines that comestraight out of the Howdy Doodyshow. (For those of you whodo¡'t know who Howdy Doody is,he's a little red-headed puppetwho with Buffalo Bob and . . . oh,skip it.).

ihe only way to review thefilm is to review the two separate

half color, and half black andwhite, we open the film with theblack and white h¿lf.

"Dynamite Hands" is a goodold "let's win one for the Gipper"type film, extremely common inthe 1930's, when one came outevery week. It stars George C.Scott as Gloves Malloy, who withhis partner Peanuts (RedButtons) t¿kes a food vendor,Joey Popehik (Harry H¿mlin)and turns this boy into a fighter

- so much so that VinceMarlowe, the loc¿l bad Suy (EliWallach) wants to fe¿ture him atMarvin Gardens, against Gloves'better judgement.

So Joey gets corrupted. Heleaves his peachy-keen sweet-heart Betsy MeGuire (Trish VanDevere) for floosy TroublesMoran (Ann Reinking), makes it,to the top of the fight world, andVince wants him to throw thelight.

To tell m'ore would becheating.

In this half, as in the next half,the ¿ctors and actresses äo anunbelievable job of over-acting.!'he one who st¿nds out above

the rest is Harry Hamlin. I don'tknow whether it's his dialogue orwh¿t. but I'll tell you, I hope togod this boy is faking theover-acting, or is he going tohave troubles.

I also enjoyed the handling ofthe photography by CharlesRosher. Jr. ASC. He had'it downto the flicker that films had backin the 1930's when someone orsomething moved too fast.

boyg qd girls, what do y.qu say?huh? For the Gipper."

In this c¿se the Qipper isGeorge C. Scott, who st¿rs asSpats Baxter, a Broadwayproducer who is dying of theincurable and deadly Spencer'sDisease, and he has to put on awinning Broadway show so hec¿n set his, daughter (who he hasnever seen) up for life.

Even musicals have theirproblems. The main star IsobelStuart (lrish Van Devere)threatens to walk out on theshow if better music isn't found,so in walks Diek Cummings(Barry Bostwiek), an ¿ccountant-song writer who f¡lls in love withKitty (Rebecca York), a chorus

Trish Van Devere

line dancer who rooms withTrixie Lane (Barbra Harris),another chorus li¡e dancer who isin love with Spats, who is beingstrung along by Isobel, who isalso stringing along Dick, whodumps Kitty, who leaves town,which leaves lrixie roomm¿te-less.

In other.words, boy meets girl,boy loses nrl, Uoy sings song andgets girl bad<. The plot ié lessthan memor¿ble.

On the whole, the film doesjust what its director StanleyDonen tried to do. It's a spotless-parody of the movies of thethirties, shot and handled just asit would have been then. It is aþ¡illiant and funny film.

closer, Ttte answer, however, isstuntmen.

!-Central California Stuntmen,which was formed liast summer.

That article covered rûhatshows the stunt team had doneand were about to do. Some ofthe members ¿ttend Fresno CityColiege.

Greg Andreotti, 19, is allreshman at FCC majoring incriminology. Greg became inter-ested in stunt work after talkingv;ith a couple of stuntmen atFashion Fair. Greg startedattending training sessions withthe Central California Stuntmenlast November and, officiallybecame a member on Feb. l.

Creg had yet to performbefore an audience. However,he'll get his chance this summerat Frontier Village AmusementFark in San Jose where theCentral California Stuntmen arebooked each weekend in June,July, and Aúgust.

Greg said he primarily wantedto learn high falls and carcrashes.

Mike Jordan, 22, is a liberalarts major. Jordon has been withCCS from the beginning 10nnonths ago. When he's notworking or doing stunts, Jor- ¡

dan's hobbies are movies and art.Being able to work in the

movies is what interested Jordanin being a stuntman and seeingDeople's reactions to the stuntihoivs is Jordan's biggest thrill'Jordan was one of the membersof the CCS to do somebackground work on GeorgeLucas' upcoming film "AmericanGr¿ffitti 2." Jordan says hisfavorite stunts are l'all of them' Iwant to excell in all of them and Ihope I do."

Cindy Schumacher, 20, is inher fourth semester as 8nelectronics major at FCC. Whenshe's not working or doingstunts, she e¿n be'found at amovie theater, taking apictures,

Sg she decided to become astuntwoman. What has she gotout of it? "Making new friends,se[-confidence, and having a hellof a good time."

Tracy Coates, 18, is attendingher first semester at FCC as afilm major. She became inter-ested in the ¡noup while she wasmaking a señriddcunentarY filmon it.

Tracy says that the value ofteamwork is the most importantthing she has learned from thegroup.' She is, also lookingforward to performing at Fron-tier Village this summr bec¿useit will be her first performancewith the group.

Bill Hurley, 30, a'microbiologymajor attending FCC on and offfor three years, teamed up withthe Central California Stuntmenjust a little mo¡e than twomonths ago. Bill has been activein stage acting for over 15 yearsworking in community theatre inhis home st¿te of Maine andsemi-professional in New Yorkand Boston.

Bill's interest in stuntwork isprimarify geared towards explosives and car crashes. Bill saysprecision and timing are the twomajor things he's learned fromtraining sessions.

Dennis Holseybrook, 22, in hisfourth semester as a music anddrama major. He las been in thegroup eight months. His hobbiesare movies, music, song writingand acting.Having done somestunts for amateur films backhome (the Bay Area), he wasinterested in joining the CCS,and serves on the board ofdi¡ectors as the drama coach.Self-pride and the feeling ofdoing something that not toomany people would do are theressons he enjoys stuntwork.

Srhat does all this prove? OnlY

come a long way, babY. TheYperformed for Muscul¡r DYstro

phy, Sierra Mount¿ineer Days inOakhust, a Kiwanis Fund Drivein Bakersfield.

They've worked o¡ the sequelto "Americ¿n Graffitti" beingproduced by George Luc¿s andbeing released later this yea,r andhave performed live in LasVegas. Currently they're goingthru winter training in prepara-tion for this summe¡ when they'llbe performing at FrontierVillage Amusement Park in SanJose.

In less than a year under thedirection of Phil Donaldson,prresident and stunt coordinator,the Central California Stuntmenhave gone from a handfql ofhopeful meû and women doingbenefit shows eler looking foìtheir big chance to a professionaltæam ofover 20 people being paidprofessional s¿laries to performin amusement parks, Las Vegas,films and television.

Clovis wrestler light inwe¡ght butr heovy in tolent

It all started in a smallwrestling tour-n¡ment at a juniorhigh school gym. Paul Bolanosstepped up with no previousexperienee and walked awaywith the first prize.

U'k'own to Jim Kaprielian(wrestling ooach at C.T. ClsrkIntermediate), who askedBol¿¡os to eome out for the Clarkteam, he was talking to a futurestate champion.

After working with Bolanos ashort time, Kaprieliau turnedhim over to the Clovis llighwrestling program, where hewould "work hard and be taughthow to win by Coach DennisDeliddo."

Now rated No. 1 by wrestlingofñcials, Bolauos seems to berepeating what he so gracefullyaccomplished at Clovis lligh.Concerning wrestling at Clovis,Bolanos said.'T was three times

North Yosemite l,eague cham-pion and a member of ¿ll three ofClovis' state championshipteams. I plaeed third in the statcmy junior year and second in thestate my senior yeal."

What every young wrestlerdre¿ms of, Peul Bolanos seems tobe making a habit of, "and.muchof this I owe to Denuis Deliddo,"Bolanos says.

\[ith a family of eight kids it isa wonder he does anything elsebut wrestle. . . but he does. He iscarrying 12 units i¡ a liberal artsprogram and plans on graduatingfrom FCC to go into businesstraining at Cal Poly.

Bolanos came to FCC in thefirst place beeause'of his ltiwwrestling weight. "I uraswrestling at such a light weightthat many of the four yearcolleges didn't think I could

wrestie above my weight class,"says Bolanos.

So he w¿s foreed to coure to ¿JC to, in I sense, prove himself(you might say he's doing someheavy proving). It's luely forFCC that he decided to do ithere.

He ¿lso has been thinkingabout trying out for théOlympics, but is right now"taking it as it comes." He issure, however, th¿t he will spendthe two eligible years he has left,wrestling for Cal Poly.

Since Bolanos won Saturday inthe Nor Cal Regional Tourn¿-ment he will be traveling to ElCamino this weekend for thest¿te tournament. \ilith a 34-1-lthere is a good chance that...well, you can figure it out.

Me¿nwhile, on the women'sside of the net, coach Shirleyg¡iÌwell ís rebuilding her teamwith only one returnee, Sandy'Smith of Mclane. Others who.Stillwetl will rely upon

-'ûo

improve last year's win-lossrecord are Lynn Cabi¡ess fromFresno, and Maureen Muellerfrom San Joaquin Memori¿I.

Stillwell explained thatC¿bbinesg is No. 1 on the team

'¿nd w8s the No. 1 player for,Fresno High. last year, while

, teammate Deann¿ Sh¿w froml0entral w¿s No. I from herschool. Mueller ¿nd Smith ¿reranked seeond and third.

The other girls on the team areDolores Caudillo from SJM,Rosie Jura from Central, LisaGann from Mcl¿ne, and LindaSalido from Caruthers.

The women are also set to faceMerced Friday and will st¿rtleague play M¿rch I againstCosumnes.

Ram coach Chuck Starktledited the win to defense."Defense won the game for us.The ARcoach came up after the

game and told me they couldn'tdo anything against us offensive-ly. Stark added that "KeithPostler did an exceptional job,and Keith Wright did a good jobcoming off the bench."

Postler was chosen JC athleteof the week for his role inSaturday's game. The Ramguard hit 11 of 13 free throwsand recorded four steals in thefinal l0 minuües as he directedthe Ram defense.

Keith lVright, drilled in 18points for Fresno and dominatedthe boards with 13 rebounds.Ron Chatman, who saw limitedaction the second half to Preientpossible injury, finished thegame with 10 rebounds, includ-ing eight defensive grabs in thefirst half.

I'm sorry to see them go, butYthey're going. The DePartmentof lransportation has recom-mended to the federal govern-ment that the San JoaquinBakersfield-Oakland Amtraktrain be discontinued for lack ofcustomers.

It seems likely the recommen-dation will be heeded. The trains

It's a four-hour triP. The SanJoaquin is the onlY Passengertrain with a stop in Fresno. It isalso practicallY the þiggestmonei-loser in the Amtraksvsgem.-
