Poblo Cruise: neurotic rock, roll 0t ¡ts yery bestBy Fondo Kullotr

It was a cool, fall, October I

evening at the Fair. An hour'before the show, the audience

- crorud.ed a¡-ou¡d-.the headlinerstage, waiting eagerly for theentertainment.

A man dressed in a black shirtand jeans, walked out andannounced, "Ihe Fresno DistrictFair is proud to present . . . PabloCruise." The group launcherl intoùheir opening number, "lonightMy Love." It brought smiles,clapping, whistles, cheering, andsereaming from the audienìe.

lt was pleasant and satisfyingfor Pablo Cruise, unlike threeyearc ago, ùheir small beginningin the music business.

"We bombed out in Fresnowith Loggins and Messina ....everything happened wrong withuÞ," Cory Lerios said. "IVe justkept on working.... the audiencewas great. We're creating a lot ofenergy in different places andthat's what we want."

After the 8 p.m. show,backstage, relaxing and sittingcomfortably on soft chairs,' Lerios and Steve Price t¿lkedabout their latest album. "APlace In the Sun" and how theygot together.

Le¡ios on piano, Price ondrums, David Jenkins, leadguitarist, and Bruee Ddy, bassguitarist, form the tightty knit'quartet known as "Pablo Cruise."

Is there a certain catagory ofmusic you go into? .... "Yeah, ....the cruise. Our music," laughedPrice. "I gùess our musie isneurotic rock-n-roll. Heavv in themusic and melod¡ but iight inthe mellow."

"I've been into Latin music -Sergio Mendez and the Brazilianstuff ever since I've known whatmusic was. Cory is real classicaland jazzy."

He adds. "When we sit downand play, that's what comes out.... We're real free about it. Wetry not to get real analiticalabout our music, although we do.We get real picky about it."

\ryit,h talent and musicalbackgrounds, each memberwrites his own songs, thenshares it. "A Place In The Sun,"just become double gold, is an

example of their efforts.At the fair, they offered such

'Modwomqn' chorms FCCoudiences; Rogqn inspired

By Moria Riley

If you're tired of evil manipu-lating the world, then don't missyour chance to strike back Oct.2!-22. Fresno_ City .Collegetheatre Arts Departm'ent pre-sents thè classic French comedy,"The .Madwoman of Chaillot,"written by Jeau Giroudoux anddirected by lom Wright.

the play, set in the early '40's,is a poctic fantasy of good vs. evilbased on modern capitalism. Itbegins with a group of promotersconspiring to tear up Paris in aneffort to get at the oil which aprospector says he has loe¿ted inthe neighborhood-

The madwoman, upon hearingof the plans, attempts toconvince the townspeople thatthe prospector's intentions areundesirable to the comrnunitv.

Her beliefs that the world isbeing corrupted by thieves andothers who are greedy forworldly goods and power, areaccepted by her smalì group offriends. Her preferred course ofaction is simply to do away withall the "evil doers."

Darlene Ragan, who plays thepart of Countess Aurelia, themadwoman of Chaillot, does sowith real inspiration, along withthe oi,her "madwomen" po"-

trayed by Alison Wright, Mme.Constance; Annette E. Federico,Mlle. Gabrielle, and NanceAlsup, Mme. Josephine.. Other fine performances aregiven by Blane Hitchcock whoplays Pierre; Melissa . Russell,who portrays lrma, CountessAurelia's personal guardian; andBruce Jennings who plays tliegentle knowledgeable deaf-mute.

As far as costumes go, onceagain Chris Moad, FCC costumedesigner, has eome throughoffering no disappointments.Also deserving credit for theappeàling dr.ess are FCC'sCostume Craft Classes who wereresponsible for the constructionof the g-arments.

For what the scene design inAct I at Countess Aurelia'stavern "Chez Francis" lacks, thesetting in Act II, "in theCountess' Cellar" certainlymakes up.

Flower girl, Cindy Holtz; ChezFrancis waiter, Michael Rube;the two tavern card players,Mark T. Sullenger and JosephAlbert Ruiz; and the lessglamorous role of the sewer man,also played by Ruiz, added thetouch of realism iu both acts.

Dan Farmer, who played thetown's ragpicker, carried a good

portion of Act II's imaginarycourtroom scene well, as did the"Presidents," "Prospec.tors,""Press Agents," "Ladies," and"Adolph Bertauts" which added ahumorous touch when appearingin numbers of three.

"The Madwoman of Chaillot"ivas first presented in New Yorkin 1948 and is consideredGiroudoux's best-known work. In1949, the play enjoyed aBroadway success and wasawarded the New York Critic'sCircle prize for the best play ofthe year by a foreign author.

Perforinanees are scheduled at8:15 p.m. in the Theatre.Reserved seat tickets can bepurchased in the Theatre BoxOffice through Friday, from l0a.m. to 4 p.m.

General admission is $1.50,students upon presentation of astudent body card from anyschool, ?5 cents, and all FCCstudent body card holders, free.

On November 17-19, FCC willpresent "Once, Twice, Thrice," afantasy adventure game forchildren of all ages.

For more information aboutthe play or tickets, contact thebox office at 442-4600, extension8454.

Jeff Peterson-"I think heshould be admitted. It's wrong tobe discriminated against. Itdoesn't matter what raee You areI hope everything goes- in hisfavor."

Steve Donringuez-"I believethat minorities should have eoualrights and access to education.But I also feel that no onc,ineluding whites such as Bakke,should be discriminated against."

Brian Laird-"I think it's goodbecause minorities should beinvolved. Giving minorities aehance for equal opportunity isfine. But when it gets toprofessional fields such as doc-tors or lawyers it should bebased on individual qualifreationsinstead of race or creed."

Woody York-"Basically I be-'lieve it will take away theaffirmative action programs fromeveryone in need if he wins. He'sgoing to have a hard timewinning. I believe that most ofthe people are against him."

Vicki Flores-"There were 1(X)positions available with 16 ofthose reserved for minoritystudents. If he was qualifred he

They're toking our trees o o oBy Karen Friee

"They paved ParadiseAnd they put up a parking lotThey took all the treesPut them in a tree museumAnd they eharged all the

peopleA dollar and a half just to see

'em."

Eight years ago, Joni Mitchell,a young Canadian folk musician,sang this song.

More cars, more students,"progress" have made it impera-tive to create new parking lots onour campus.

The parking-lots are here tostay-but the trees in some ofthe parking medians are not.

The Board of Trustees hasallocated funds for landscapingand re-landscaping parkingareas.

One area on the east side of thecí¡ '.pus has a wide variety oftrees. The future of these trees isshort lived due to the re-landscaping plans. The trees areto be replaced with grass.

What makes this so ironic isthe fact these trees are native toour valley. They are naturallydrought resistant, requiring lit-tle water and care. A lawnhowever, requires much rhorernaintenance and water.

The trees provide shade aswell as natural noise and windbarrie¡s. Grass, on the otherhand, provides terrifie shade forthe rims of ti¡es, the rhythmiesound of lawn mowers used tokeep them trimmed, and a dailyshower of water on cars andwhatever else gets in the way ofthe sprinklers.

One rose garden already hasbeen torn up. Another rosegarden and a beautiful bed ofhybrid chrysanthemums areslated for destruction soon.

A Reedley College horticultureclass had offered to plant theundeveloped a¡ea. their offerwas accepted;. however, theactual planting fell through.

The district now ú¡ill contact aprivate company for the re-landscaping.

A spokesperson for the districtsaid the plans were designed to

make the college aestheticallypleasing. He noted the districthad spent some 940 millipn onnew buildings.

One wonders if the otherplants placed around tbe campusby conscientious science inStiuc-tors also will be destroyed, inorder to blend with the har-monizing effect, in the plans.

These instructors have plantedmany unusual specimens, fromavocado to poison oak. Theinstructors take the students onatour oftbe campus flora as partof their curriculum. One par-ticularly interesting tree is ¿tulip tree. During our nation'sbicentennial a seed fuom a tuliptree planted by none other thanGeorge lVashington was pur-chased and nurtured into lovelyseedling and planted on campus.Its destiny-the axe.

Nader claims that fans are being ripped off by high pricedtickets, phony contests, and junk food.

And maybe the fans in this country are being ripped off. Butwhen a fan comes to the ballpark he is paying for a seat towatch the game, and that is all.

Maybe the fans of this country don't deserve to bereprese_nted by,someone. Buying a ticket to a ball game doesn'tgive a fan the right to do some of the things they have beendoing recently.

. Does a fan have the right to jump out on the field and delaythe game? Does a fan hale the iigÌri to throw beer bottles and.¡other objects on the field?

No, and until the fans learn this they shouldn't expect to gethelp from anyone.

The actions of the crowds in New York for the recent WorldSeries is a perfect example. ìVhen fans start throwins thinssan9 the players are. in dange¡ of being injured, "i""yoñ"suffers.

The Giants got off to a quickstart with two touchdowns in thefirst quarter. The Giants' - fire-was fueled by the lightning-likeruns of Minor.

lnlroducing lifeWhat life in the whole universe can be counted as life? I John

5:12 says: "He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not.the Son of God hath not the tife." This scripture tells us thatunless man has the life of God, he does not have life. This showsthat in lhe eyes of God, only His life is life. Thus, whên the lifeof God is mentioned in the Bible it is treated as if it is the uniquelife (John 1f:25; 14:6).

A life which is. subject to death and change is neither eternalnor immortal, aild therefore cannot be considered life.

Although in respect to Himself, God is life we cannot realizeHim as life unless He reaches us. We praise the Lord that Hehas taken the necessary steps to flow out to mankind. He wasmanifested among men as the life (John l:4) and His body wasbroken on the cross to enable usto reeeive of Him. IVhat a joy itis to receive God as our life. This life has flowed into us andnow, when we contact and enjoy Him, His lifé continues to llowout of us. ThiS is the'abundant life the Lord is expecting all Hischildren to enjoy (John 10:10).

Bokks--pÍo ond con(Editor's note: In recent

weeks, the case of Allen Bakkehas been the center of heatedsontroversy.

Bakke, now g7 and 8nengineer, decided to become a'medical doctor and applied to theiUniversity of California, Davis,'in the fall of 1972. Hp eóntends,that he was not accepted at the.medical school therê because less,qualified minority applicantsgained admission through 16spots which are reserved only forminorities.

the Californía Supreme,Courtruled that the university'sminority quota admissions pro-gram is unconstitutional. Nowthe case is being heard by theUnited States Supreme Court.

Monday, the Supreme Courtordered Bakke and the UC DavisMedical School to file new briefswithin 30 days on the applicabil-

Soon the United States Supreme Court will rule on the Bakkecase. The Bakke decision is not merely a legal and constitutionalquestion but hinges on social and moral issues. Indeed, thedecision from the court will have far-reachiÍrg ramification. ThegÌeatest effect, I believe will be on women añd minority groupsfrom lower socioeconomic backgrounds. If Bakke is upheld, thequest for social justice will have lost the gains made by the civilrights movement, of the 1960's.

Minorities and women are drastically underrepresented inmany of the professions. Equal educational opportunity meansequal access to higher education as well as equal benefits for all.There must exist a vehicle available for the representation ofspecial groups in graduate and professional schools. Needless tosay, eduCation is the key to social mobility.

Admission requirements have never been totally based onobjective critêria. There is always an element of subjectivity. Ibelieve it to be legilimate when admissions committeesconsider: Does this student have the motivation, potential anddetermination to sueceed? Obviously, the response thisquestion can not be measured on purely empirical bases.Additionally, special interest groups have in the past receivedspecial consideration. The wealthy, for example, have alwaysreceived preferential treatment or special admissions to eliteuniversities and professional schools.

Our society is not isolated nor insulated from the rest of theworld. It is advantageous to allow peopie of differentbackgrounds to eontribute their unique and distinòtperspective. Bilin¡¡uals, for instance, have a valuablecontribution to make and they should be allowed andt ncouragt'd to do so. It behooves our society to promote the<:oncept of cultural pluralism.

Melting-pot ideology and the notion of the American Dreamare a myth for many Ameiicans. Indeed, there are deep cracksin the melting-pot and the poor live in the nightmare of theAmerican Dream. There is no need to dwell on pastinjustices-prejudice, discrimination, racism. Instead, the taskat hand is to ensure that negative history does not repeat itself.The cry of "reverse discrimination" is a false issue and a ratherreactionaiy stand. The minority community does not have theeconomic and political power to discriminate in reverse. Raceand ethnic groups have been the victims, not the perpetratorsof discrimination and racism. To blame the victims is to usethem as a scapegoat instead of analyziirg and elirninatinginstitutionalized inequalities.

It is ironic that those spending time and money to supportBaklc are not instead spending their resources ensuring thatprofessional programs be expanded. It is my conviction that thesupreme court's decision to overturn Bakke will foster arevitalization of the civil rights movement. Via this perspective,the goal is to make the system receptive and sensitive to thenee<ls of all the people.-

The last film I previewed inthis column was "Star Wars."The success of that fi.lm wasanticipated by the public, al-though the studio was reluctantto release the lilm as we now seeit.

So much for executive fore-thought.

This time, I picked a film whichwill open at the Festival Cinemastomorrow: "Damnation Alley,"starring Jan-Michael Vincent andGeorge Peppard.

This film, upon research, turnsout to be one of the interestingproblem children the film indus-try has seen in recent years.Based on Roger Zelazny's book ofthe same name, the original plotwas used for three months beforethe studio decided to change it.

The original story, to thosewho read the book, was about anAmerica devastated by nuclearwar. Only two major populationcenters exist, communicatingonly by radio. During this time,no one has dared venture out,due to enormous weatherchanges caused by the nuclearweapons changing the Earth'saxial tilt. One city suddenlycontracts a plague, which onlythe other city has the cure for.

Finding no volunteers to gooutside, the officials find the lastHell's Angel, about to beexecuted, and offer him a choice:Deliver the serum and be spared,or die for not helping our society.The biker decides he has little tolose, and builds a new motorcyclefor the journey.

Along the way, he encounters

cultural criteria-not the color of their skin.

several strange things in the newworld: The atmospheric jet

.stream has lowered to only a fewthousand feet, with mountaintops sheared off by the force ofthe wind; mutant bikers, fusedby radiation until they and thei¡bikes exist as a single being; andstrange mutations appearing allover the countryside.

The term "Damnation Alley" iscoined by the fact his path'chosen,is the simplest that couldbe found, yet is still so full ofhazards, that chances of su¡vivalare small.

Twentiéth Century-Fox stu-dios, however, found the Hell'sAngel aspect to be objectionable,and changed the plot to itscurrent, status: - Two Air Forceofficers.

Played by Hanford's own J-MVincent, and George Peppard,the trvo officers play menconstantly at each other's throatbecause of divergent politicalviews. At the point wherePeppard decides to get atransfer, a nuclear war breaksout. Helplessly inside a bunkerwith the rest of their base, thestaff watches as only 40 per centof enemy missiìes get shot down.It is Armageddon come downfrom on high.

The movie then shifts to twoyears later as an explosion ripsapart the base, and kills all but asmall handful of people. It is thenunveiled that radio signals havebeen received from Albany, NewYork (Albany? How close is thatto the obviously huge craterwhere New York City was?), andthat a pair of special all-terrain

vehicles have been hidden all thistime.

At this point, the lilm beginsfollowing the original story andbook more closely, with Vincenttakingon those scenes where theoriginal biker ran amuck. But thereal star of the film, as the studiopoints out, is a $300,000monstrosity.

t,Veighing nearly eleven tons,the Land Master One wasdeveloped by several automotiveengineers for use in the film.Unlike similar devices, this one isnot only real, but also durable.Studio scuttlebutt has it that theL-M One was dropped some 90feet down a cliff for a scene ...and drove away with only somepaint scraped off. Using a uniquedrive system,.the engineers mayhave developed the ultimatemilitary transport.

Other than this, the film ma¡ksthe beginning of a new era infilms, not in one. but in severalcategories. Science fiction looksas if it vill be the rule ratherthan the exception in the nextfew years. lVith the advent ofSpielberg's "Close Encounters ofthe Third Kind," realistic ap-proaches to special effects seemto be the order, thus ushering ina ne\r' respectability to theindustry.

But more importantly, filmsdeem to have taken the routethat television has failed torealize: The people watching arejust that ... people. People whowish to be entertained, not havetheir minds blanked by theúseless pablum that exists on theboob tube.
