FRESNO CITY COLLEGE

Fresno, Colif. Vol. XXXIll, No.28 Thursday, April 19, 1979

I6qeofÞr¡IË

Just one of the many enpty corridors inthe old administration building.

Last year, the college's firstJog-O-Thon earned $2,332. FranzWeinschenk, dean of humanities,estimates that this April's runwill bring over $3,000, oncepledges are collected.

But the department is still along way frorr the price of theorgan.

"We have decided that a goodelectronic organ would be betterthan a cheap pipe organ,"'saidWeinschenk. A pipe, ortraditional-style organ, becauseofits high price tag, is "really outof the question."

But even an electronic organ -a valveless machine that imitatesthe sound of organ-pipes elec-

tronieally would cost "in theneighborhood of $25,000 to$30,000." That is a "top-of-the-line" electronic organ would-

"The thing that concerns me,"Weinschenk said, "is that whilewe make money for the organevery year, inflation, on theother end, is constantly puttingup the price of an organ."

But in all, and despite'the fearof the whole effort being "eatenup by inflation," \ileinschenkfeels, apparèntly, that there isroom for optimism.

"This year's Jog-O-lhon ismuch more successful than lastyear's," he said. "There weremore runners and there was

more money."Bert Woodruff, English in-

structor, was sponsored for $5.25a lap and went 37 in one hour toearn $194.25 for the organ.

Ray Cattani, president ofReedley College, ran 35 lapssponsored at $1 a lap.

IVeinschenk himself partiei-pated and went 34 laps at S5.96to earn 9202.30-

One runner, Elizabeth Green-berg, got herself sponsored formore than $14 a lap and earned,in 2E laps, a tot 1896.20, thehighest tot¿l ol u.,o J8y.

Obviously, hCf of eaeh run-ner's effort w¿s in pre-runbargaining for sponsors.

Weinschenk admits that "acgncert organ is not somethingthat will be needed every day.-'But says it could be well used incollege stage productions, as wellas i¡ band and orchestraperformances. "There is, ofoours€r a lot of music mitten forthe org8n,' he said¡

All ru¡¡ers at the Jog-O-Thonwere given a participationcertificate ¡nd ribbon. Therewere door-prizes for both run-ner$ &nd onlookers..

If runners earned 126 or morefor the organ, they €a¡ned aT-Shirt for themselves. If theTearned $100 or more,.theyenrned a belt-buelle.

Jog-O-Thon successf ul--butorgqn price keeps going up

(The eeriness common to old,abandoned buildings seems toswallow up those who enter,especially in the pitch blackauditorium of the imposing oldadministration building. It's likeexploring a cavern; the footstépsecho all around. Old papers,documents, and other assortedcrud lie scattered everywhere inthe structure. Thoïgh thebuilding is locked up, vandalshave managed to take their toll;old fireho'ses torn from theiroriginal mountings, windowsbroken, locks busted. The court-yard creates in one a certain awè,

'gazing at the archways.)Up until 1977, the old

administration building was stillbeing used for classeJ. At thattime, legislation went into effectthat condemned it until it wasbrought up to safety st¿ndardsas prescribed by the State ofCalifornia. Now, the fate of theold building is in limbo as thestate conducts a feasibility studyon the possibility of using it as anagricultural museum.

However, the State CenterCommunity College District isholding its ground on severalconditions for a transfer of titleto the state, the most importantof which is the demolition of theextreme east and west, wings ofthe structure to facilitate imple*mentation of the Campus MasterPlan.

Said District Chancellor JohnHansen, "We would like to getthose wings out of there as soonas possible. Clearly, it would bedetrimental to the CampusMaster Plan to retain the wings."

the Master Plan calls for aroad to beconstructed where thewest wing now stands, for easiercampus access, and the east wingsupposedly poses a fÏre haz¿rdbecause of its close proximity tothe Business Educ¿tion Building.

Another eondition is that thebuilding, according to a tent¿tiveagreement for sale, must bebrought up to Public School, orTitle 21, earthquake safetystandards. But in Sacramento,Assemblyman Richard Lehman(D-Fresno) has authored a billthat would reduce that clause inthe sale agreement to just state.

historic building standards.Even if these problems are

finally ironed out, the immediatefate still lies with the state'sfeasibility study, which is notexpected to be completed untilMarch 1980. Should the state

. decide not to use the building,the old administration buildingand the onetime gymnasium wiIlbe demolished by the state.

On the other hand, if the stateuses the building, just the wingswill be demolished. This in itselfis a cause of concern to ,A,liceCottingim, deputy director of theState Parks and Recre¿tionDept, who pointed out that thebuilding is listed on the NatioualHistoric Register, and s¿iddemolition of the wings couldjeopardize' that st¿tus.

If, by some chance, themuseum is established but thenshut down, title will revert backto the SCCCD and, if it has beenremodeled to Title 21i will b€utilized by the Diqtrict. How-ever, if it has only been broughtbtck to state historic buildingstandards, the building will beremoved at no cost to thedistrict.

Later on, the erowd camepouring in to,fill up the sold-outarena to see the show. When thelights went out, the crowd wentcrazy. The band opened up with"School" from the "Crime of theCentury" album. During thecourse of the show, they playedevery song on the "Crime"album.

The audience gave the band astandingovation after eaeh song.Some of the more well receivedsongs were "the Logical Song,""Sister Moonshine," "Give aLittle Bit." and "Crime of theCentury" (used as the eneorenumber). The whole band playsexceptionally well. They werevery tight sounding and dellv-ered the audience what theywanted, a good show.

Supertramp, you're welcomehere any time.

CONCERT REVIEW

'Cousin Sqm' gets excellentvibrqtions from Jethro Tull

bYSlmTr¡lEditor ¡¡d Chief

Some people reading thismight wonder if I will be able togive an objective review of my{Êvorite rock group. Be that as itmay I would have to say thatanyone who likes good hard rockmust have come away ño¡n-tt¡eJethro T\¡ll coneert two week'sago thoroughly pleased with oneof the best rock eoncerts thatFresno audieûces have enjoyedin quite a while.

Opening for Tull at SellandArena was another British groupcalled UK. This is a threemember band whose musicreminded me a lot of Emerson,Lake & Palmer.

UK's light show was excellentbut the best part of theirperformance came when thekeyboard player picked up hiselectric violin and the bandproceeded to enthrall the audience with some intense pieces ofelectronic music.

When Tull eani'e on stage theaudience was primed and readyfor a great show.

(I knew I was in for a greattime when, after the openingnumber Tull played an excellenirendition of what is probribly mypersonal favorite by the Foup,the little known "One BrownMouse".)

Ian Anderson, on flute andacoustic guitar, and of coursevocals, was as usual the focalpoint of the group's music. Fromthe opening all the way throughthe final encore, Anderson was

considerable talent. At the,Fresno conéert, the two.keyboardplayers, John Evan and DavidPalmer, did some especially goodongan and synthesizer pieces.

- Recently the lead guitaristMartin Barre has eveì beenwriting some of the group'smusic himself, whereas in fhepast all the band's material hasbeen done by Anderson.

Jethro Tull is celebrating, withthis tour, ten years of makingmusic as a group. Their selec-tions for the concert ranged from'thei¡ second album up to theirlast and included many of tbegroup's now classie hits.

When the band played theirmost popular number the amaz-ing "Thick As A Brick" Andersontold the audience that the song.(one whole album) "was a lonf

song which we had to"cut down abit so we could play it for yãuhere."

But not satisfied 'with juetplayin-g their old hits, the groupplayed a new unrecorded song a:tthe concert entitled, "DárkAges", which was at times arather haunting melody but w¿spure Tull in its heavy instru-mentals.

Since the audience wouldn'tleave without an encore Tullgave us two: playing first theoutragious "Aqualung" and end-ing the evening with the clas5ic"Locomotive Brêath".

Jethro lull's style is not onefor mellow, folk rock fans. But ifyoú like well performed hardrock along with the amazingmixture of Ian Anderson's fluteplaying (not to mention hisoutragiousness on stage), Tull isa group worth enjoying and theirFresno concert was a great treatfor rock fans in this area.

Oh, by the way, in case any ofyou are wondering, there is norelation between the group andmyself. But I understand that IanAnderson got the name JethroTull from a lTth century Englishrevolutionary. . .so who knows?

Spring fever Kennedy defends his pos¡t¡on

lm singing the "After Easter Blues," what others may referto as "Spring Fever." Oh, I know the weather has beèn a littleonthecooléidethe past few days, but that m¿kes no differenceonce you have the "fevet."

Forthose of you who aien't sure if you may be suffering fromthg same disease, here ¿re some of the danger signals:

1. Do you find yourself suddenly developing a huge,sillylooking grin, with no apparent re¿son for it?

2. Are you extremely happy outside, and not so eomfortableinside?

3. Do you find yourself gazing out of more windows or losingyour coneentration?.

4. Is there a special person on your mind these days?5. For you less active people, do you suddenly get the urge to

do more outdoor things, like flying a kite, playing frizbee orgoing fishing?

If you answered yes or maybe to one or two of thesequestions there is still hope. If you answered a definite yes to atleaót two of these questions, you are on your way to the "feversyndrome," and if you answered yes to three or more. . . you'rebeyond helpl

The only medic¿tion I can provide (it isn't a cure, but it mighthelp you make it through finals) is...there's only 3% moreweeks of school. Enjoy this disease, but don't let it get the bestof you! Do your schoolwork before you gg out to enjoy thesun.., a

-Julie Benitez

The ort of mogic- Dr. H. P, Lovecfaft perfo¡med on

the canpus April 18. He is shown tryingto amaze his assistant, Chris McMills.

Julie Benitez's maliciouslydefamatory implication that myintellectual disenchantment withaffirmative action hiring andeducational programs is tan-tamount to a callous lack ofconcern for past racial abuses inour suppoSedly equal societycannot find foundation in any ofmy previous utterances on theissue; I am not an apologist forthe discriminatory outrages ofthe past, as Miss Benitez could

. well have ascertained for herselfwhen I offered to sit and.discussthe matter in depth with her. Butno, she would rather remainrighteously indignantly piqued tojuslify her ill-reasoned polemicthan to be enlightened to thefacts of sociopolitical life.

No. Miss Benitez, I have not,lorgotten the past; I simplychoose not to reside in it nordwell on it. Should I remainbitter and demand societalcompensation for the barbarical-ly brutal treatment the Irishsuffered at the hands of the NewWorld racists when we firstimmigrated to this land of thefree anil home o[ the brave? Howabout the Poles, the Swedes, theJews, the ltalians, and a wholehost of other outrageouslyabused minbrities who are nowconveniently lumped together asthe majority so that bleeding-heart crusaders can rationalize amonolithic oppressor from whichto patronizingly save their

favorite, curiously singled outminority; should all individualswho can recite a programmedlitany of imagined or realdiscriminatory abuses in theirparticular fcmilies' heritages bedemanding preferential treat-ment in the job market oreducational field? The answerbecomes obvious by the veryposing of-the question.

What concèrns me the mostabout affirmative action pro-grams is the juroconstitutionalintellectual imprecision involvedin the curious metamorphosesfrom equal tre¿tment to prefer-ential treatment and from equalopportunity to compeneatoryopportunity which occur in thename of, and by the authority of,the equal protection,/due processclauses of the 5th and the 14thAmendments. Regardless of thetunnel-visionisticly benevolentintentions involved therewith,such is the product of demon-strably sloppy thinking. Isn't it abit ludicrous to ameliorate anon-thinking world with pro-grams born of sloppy thinking?

And, speaking of sloppythinking,

-I did- not "mài.ã

reference to 'reverse discrimina-tion"'anywhere in my article, asMiss Benitez claims, nor did Iwrite that "blacks had the rightto be ignorant." I emphaticãllyprotest being placed in anerroneous and unfavòrable light

by having inllammatory wordsascribed to ¡ne which I did notauthor; what happened to edi-torial oversight?

Miss Benitez queries, "Is itignorance to stand up for whatyou believe in?" The central issueis, if what you believe in isfounded upon false premises or isa product of ignorance offundamental t,enets regardingthe relationship of the gover.n-ment with the people and therespective responsibilitÍes in-volved therein, then to fanatical-ly advanee that ill-founded beliefis flatly foolish. Of course,foolishness is not a rarecommodity in this "enlightened"society, but it has little tocommend itself as a major factorin sociopolitical dynamics in-tended to ameliorate the plight ofhumanity.

I "confused the words (sic)'self-pity' with 'pride'?" there isno pride arising from gaininganything by simply calling in afictitious debt; pride, in its truesense, can only be instilled in oneif he/she earns that which he/sher'eceives by industriously becom-ing and vigorously demonstrat-ing that he,/she is the best.

If read in the proper light,without emotionally orientedinterlinear inferences, my April5th thesis on affirmative actionspeaks for itself; satis est.
