Susqn Sorensen nom¡nqtedexecut¡ve VP i"plqcement

In another informal meetingTuesday, the ASB Senate dis--cussed appointments for vac¿ntoffices, budget cuts, lagging ASB

. card sales, and an upcomingstudent government conference.Five recently elected senatorswere introduced.

The body lacked a quorum andwas unable to take action on anyof these matters.

ASB president Sue Martinintroduced her choices for thevacant executive vice president

.olïice and a vacant Senate seat.

Susan Sorensen, a second-semesrer student. will serve asexecutive vice president for onesemester pending approval bythe senate. Sorensen was activein high school politics.

Brian Guthrie, a sophomore,will serve as a senator. Guthriewas president pro tem of theSenate last semester and servedas a senator last year.

"I did not run in the lastelection for a twosemester termbecause that would leave anotherSenate vacancy between semes-ters," explained Guthrie. "It is

Many of the courses offeredduringthe day also are offered inthe evening, but several specialcourses are available only atnight.

easier to be appointed for oneterm."

After the introductions, senatemembers received copies of therevised ASB budget. Proposedcuts would reduce the budgetfrom $116,?37 to $20,964. LaggingASB card sales made the cutsnecessary, according to Martin.

ASB membership was thetopic of a pep talk by DougPeterson, dean of men andstudent government adviser. Henoted the decline in sales andgave examples of similar prob-lems at other community collegeswhere the student body member-ship has dropped to below 20 percent. Only one in four students atFCC hold ASB c¿rds, accordingto Peterson.

"All is not completely da¡ki'he said to the Senate. "You havegot to get some good money-making projects going."

Peterson suggested a series ofpopular movies as a possible fundraiser.

In other business, RichardMata, recording secretary, re-minded Senate members of aCalifornia Community CollegeStudent GoVernment AssociationConference scheduìed for April

in Sacramento. Eight studentsfrom FCC will attend.

Mata is chairman of Area 5,the region of the state hostingthe conference. FCC is heavilyinvolved in arranging the springconference, he stated.

All five senators chosen in lastweek's election were present atthe meeting. They are PeggyErickson, Carol Kovacevich,Albert Quintana, Brett Rodgerand Myra Suggs.

Rodger has already served as asenator for two terms. Suggs andKovacevich served as officérs inthe Rally Club last semester.Kovacevich hopes "to get thespark back into the ASB."Eriekson and Quintana aresecond-semester students.

three senators were absentwithout explanation. Lettersannouncing the rneeting hadbeen sent to them, according toMartin. The absent memberswere Paul Bolanos, TomO'Rourke and Mike McCutchen.

Rom Report

By Dave Coulson t

Consistency is probably one of the most important thingsthat a coach or a teum has to strive for.

Fo: a team or a coach lo be remembered they have to keep onwinning. One .winning season or one championship doesn't getthe job done.

A sportswriter once said that there were three things thatwere good bets in life. The three were the New York Yankees,Joe Louis, and Notre Dame. The reason was that they almostalways won.

That is one-extreme of consistency, but there is another. TheNew York Mets were known for their abilities to lose a game

for many years. And how about Tampa Bay? They are still only2-26 even with those two upsets at the end of last season'

At one time you could always count on hearing a BrooklynDodger fan yell "Wait until next year." How is that forconsistency?

;fii3ï'-J"ïi'"äi:ìonly 206 (not counting

games this season).

Only two coaches in California junior college baseballJristoryhave won more games. And they are as much a part of pasthistory as the old American Football League.

Four times under Bourdet's guiäance the Rams havecaptured the state baseball championship. If only everyoneeould be as consistent as Len Bourdet.

Bourdet's teams never have posted a losing season. Most ofour presidents can't even say that. So Bourdet will -keep'onwinning and the world will just keep on spinning.

Could Bourdet have a losing season? Could Tampa Bay winthe Super Bowl?

Dear Dr. Sivas:I am a hard contact, lens wearer and have been wearing

contact lenses fo¡ the past year. My vision with my lenses isgood but I am unable to wear my prescription glasses when Iremove my contacts because everything seems blurred. Is thisexpected? - Miss S.COMMENT: If your prescription glasses are up to date, it islikely that you are suffering from a condition called "spectacleblur." lVhen one rvears hard contact lenses, the oxegen levelbetween the lens and cornea must be sufficient to maint¿innormal corneal physiology. With an inadequate exchange oftears behind the lens, the cell walls on the outer cor4eal surf¿cebecome disrupted, allowing water from the tear layer to passinto the corneal epithelium. By noting these changes witþ abiomicroscope, I may be 'able to alter your present lensperameters or re-fit you with new contact lenses in order th4tthis condition may exhaust itself - giving sufficient vision withyour glasses when you desire to remove your contaets.

The criterion of success with hard contact lenses should be allof five-fold:l) good vision 2) adequate wearing time 3) patie¡tcomfort 4) no observable ocular changes occuring 5) goodappearance.

Today there are many seeking Christians who aresatisfied. Many have heard of the gospel of peace, joysatisfaction. But in reality, what is their experience? lVhyso many still under bondage to the world and the lust ofage? Is it possible to be freed from these in this life?

The reason so many Christians today are sick of "church,"pews," "pulpits," etc. is that they néver found out how to I

day by day, moment by nioment with Christ. Nobody iswonderful to be with as Christ Himself. Anyone who has t¿sthis enjoyment could never forget the experience. Ienemieq of Christ, by just one touch with Him, became Hislovers. What-is it that could do this?

The Lord Jesus is not a belief, a faith or a e¡eed. He iswonderful person with a wonderful name. When you go throughyour day with all the headaches of this life, the doctrine ofbaptism by immersion will never help you. When you are aboutto lose your temper, the teaching of eternal security is of noeffect. How about when you are in weakqess and the lust of thisworld is overcoming you? Do you turn in your Bible to fi¡d outwhether to baptize in the name of Jesus only, or in the n¿me ofthe Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

Group formed tofight wife abuse

Wife abuse is a erime against the mind and body. the wife inmost cases is made t'o feel guilty and inferior in many aspects.

A common myth is that wife ¿buse oecurs only in poor andrninority families. It's true they report more because they haveless to lose. Srife abuse occurs ín all w¿lks of life. Salesmen.doctors, lawyers and even ministers have abused their wives.

Very often husb¿nds who are abusers were abused ¡rhenth

30 seconds, resulting in 3Íl per centof ording to FBI statistics.

than 5,0{þ reported cases of wifeabuse in a twoyear period, only three went to court.

Here in Fresno there is a place for an abused wife to go calledSAFE. SAFE will help to provide a battered wife witheounseling, a shelter, referrals and legål information.

SAFE is located at 1334 E. Belmont; their phone is2ZT-0?21.Ifyou are an abused female, c¿ll them; if you know of an abusedfemale, tell her about SAFE. Let rs end this crime.

ASB opothySo another ASB election comes. . . so it goes:

-Only four candidates run for a total of nine positions, leavingASB with only a small number of persons to work with. .

In a realistic (although not necessarily. actual) view, a smallminority of the students can control the total assets of thestudent body, as well as guidô them in any way or manner theStudent Senate wants.

Or equally, this same minority can also do what.it wants withfunds, activities and what have you.

Doesn't anyone out there consider the consequences?To merely assert that one is at City College for an educatioh

is to point out one's own ignorance, not their ability to rise oversuch "high school" functions. Certainly, a degree of control isexerted by the administration, and it is a matter of opinion as tothe extent of th:rt control.

But to sit on one's laurels is to allow yourself to be used. Yes,you are being used even if you didn't buy an ASB card.

Ifyou have a gripe, neither the administration nor the boardof trustees will act on your lone eomplaint. Nor will action betaken ifyou have a group of people. The only real voice that theupper echelons will listen to is their own appointedrepresentatives, the Associated Student Body government.

Yet, without any base of support, the ASB is only a dancingmarionette performing for the entertainment of theadministration and the embarrassment ofthe student bodv as awhole.

True, we have leaders who claim to be working for thestudents, yet that claim cannot be justified until the trust of thestudents is re-established.

Pointing the blame cannot help. I point no blame. . . in fact, Ic¿n sense the disillusionment at how apathetic our campus is.But the fact that action is not being taken is a fault of those whorefuse to do anything or who plan but never carry through.

At this point, it doesn't matùer what is done. ASB is close tosinking fast, and anything to boost it up cannot hurt.

All I ask is help. Help from the stuents who are willing to askthemselves, "why am I just sitting here?" Students who afewilling to commit themselves to a no-pay, soul-satisfying task ofbringing the students back.

Perhaps it won't work now. . . but at least it will be a start.

' d"nc" class with her best friend,Nancy Greenley (played by LoisChiles). Nancy is Pregnant andmarried, but the pregnancY is bYa man other than her husband.

To avoid problems, NancYtakes her own doctor's advice,compares it with Susan's, andasks for a "D & C" at Boston

, Memorial. For those of vouunfamiliar with the term, a "D &C" is also called a "Dice and

As is later explained, NancyGreenley has suffered "braindeath" and is now a vegetable.She is comatose.

Knowing she can't do any-thing, Susan then tries to workout the loss of her best friend byresearching strange operationsresulting in comas; that is,operations which should not evencome close to producing coma-tose conditions, such as appen-dectomies, tonsillectomies, andthe like.

As she researches furtler, thechief anesthesiologist, Dr. Jorde(played by Rip Torn) takes herinquiries as a personal affront tohis abilities, and informs thechief surgeon, Dr. George Harris(played by Richard Widmark).Both of these individuals lookinto the matter and tell Susannothins is wrong.

books. As a suspense film, itleaves nothing to be desiredexcept that it continue.

To be blunt, "Coma" is the bestsuspense/thriller film to comeout in years and may be the basisfor others to work from in thefuture. It surpasses the usualthrillers and is a film whichleaves you staggering out of thetheater wishing you had not seenit...yet you are glad you did.

As to realism, the medie¿lbackgrounds of the writerstestifies to its authenticity, andthe acting is incredibly realistic.As you watch the film, you learnevery single detail that SusanWheeler finds just as she does,you see what she sees, and in ahorribly effective fashion, youfeel every feeling she does. Yougain the same feeling ofentrâpment that she does, andyou wish you could helpher. . .and you know you can't doa single thing.

I have,seen frightening films inmy life, but never have I been onthe edge of my seat in terror,suspense, and shock such as I feltduring "Coma." I challengeanyone, including medical stu-dents, to see this film and not feelthe same way.

About 30 persons were in thetheatre when I saw the fitm: Atthe climax, we all were holdingon to chairs or each other. See it,and I doubt you will ever want togo to a hospital again.

Short Takes:*Thanks to you and me seeing

it three or 20 times, "Star lVars-helped put 20th Century Fox inthe black, with a profit increaseof 374 per cent from 1976. Thatwas the year the studio was indebt some $4,664,000. Giveyourself a hand...

*Thom Bell will be recordingthe soundtrack of "The Fish ThatSaved Pittsburgh". . . except thefilm won't start production untilMay 1. Bell is using the sametechnique he utilized in "CarWash," anothe¡ film made to fitthe soundtrack.

+Keep your eyes open. Thetrailer for "Superman" is in theFestival Cinemas, but no oneseems to know which house isshowing it. It doesn't, let you seeanything, but it sure is impres-sive.

'Comq' is greofesf ¡hrillerBy Mark Hernandez

Before I begin, let me warnyou: Do not see "Coma" if youare squeamish, or if you havejust eaten. And most important-ly, do not take small children.

I give you these warnings forseveral reasons, none of whichare due to obscenity or grossscenes. Rather, the film is.muchinto realism, and real life can befar more terrorizing than fiction.

"Coma" is based on a bestseller of the same title, writtenby Robin Cook, a doctor andmedical writer, with the screen-play written by MichaelOrichton, also a doctor. Crichtonis well-known for "FivePatients," "The Terminal Man,"and "The Andromeda Strain"(the last two of which were veryexciting films). Together, thesetwo writers have come up with afilm that must rank as thegreatest suspense,/thriller ofall time.

Dr. Susan Wheeler (played byGenevieve "Earthquake" Bujold)is a young d.octor on the staff ofBoston Memorial Hospital. Arelationship between her and Dr.Mark Bellows (Michael Douglas)seems to be foundering as thetwo fight over the apartmentthey share as well as theresponsibility each should havein living together.

Complicating this is the fact
