Five years ago the students ofFresno City College expressedan interest in establishing a childcare facility or day care center oncampus, so parents with smallchildren could attend schoolwithout the financial burden of ababysitter.

In 1978, the financial burdensstill exist, parents are stiìl beingkept from school and the college,despite five years of study,planning, research, surveys andpleas from parents, is still nocloser to meeting this need of thecollegê community.

Ifthere's a need for child care,why hasn't something beendone?

"One of the problems of thechild care program is that it isalways competing for money,priority and facilities," said JerryFries, direetor of research andplanning.

"The board always has toweigh the need as measuredagainst the available resourcesand somewhere when we sendover a priority of projects,construction projects and soforth to the district office, thatwe'd like to be constructed, theboard has to tell us where to stopand draw the line."

According to Fries, last year aproposal was presented to theboard. The board sent it back tothe administration asking formore information on the subject.

get this information, though theadministration says it is nowstarting to act.

. "We hope to get moreinformation from a consultant.lVhat we expect the consultantto tell us is what our options are,some of the advantages anddisadvantages of these, whetherwe use it for an instructionalprogÌam or whether we canafford an instructional programat, this time," explained Fries,

"lVe'd have to find out whatthe cost would be and whetherwe would have a child carecenter to serve the studentsonly. Then, of course, there'sanother opportunity to have theschool act as an informationcenter.and keep a listing to referthe students to places wherethey might be able to keep theirchildren."

According to Richard Cleland,

occupational education. Handleywas not available for comment.

Last Fall Steve Segal, thenASB president, was reported assaying "A.campus day carecenter is nowhere in sight. Thelast time I heard about the daycare center it was number 53 on alist of 50 priority items."

In the summer of 19?5 aproposal was made to providechild care services at Fresno CitvCollege in cooperation with Heaä

County Econ-omic OpportunitiesCommission. Head Start has hadmany successful operations in-volving child care facilities, buteertain rules would have to belollowed going through thisgroup.

Basic rules suoh as having apaid staff, food, supplies, medicalservices and facilities would bestandard with any proposal, butas Dearl Keen, a child develop-ment instructor, said, "Îhe HeadStart program would not bòuseful to students on campusbecause they would take childrenbut not necessarily just childrenof students. They would have tomeet the needs of the commu-nity, which would not necessarilybe the needs of the communitycollege."

_ The Fresno City CollegeHeadStart project would also.post anestimated $40,000.

It seems child care services oncampus are needed. Parentstalked to on eampus were havingproblems with teachers askin['them to not bring their childrento elass. One woman remarked."I just can't make the class if Ican't bring my child."

Most parents I talked to saidthat if Fresno City Collegestudents were able to obseñetheir children as a class in childdevelopment, they wouldn'i ob,ject. Some felt their childrenwould learn from the experienee.

Future of Vocqtionol Center cloudedby d¡spute over downtown s¡te sqle

By Mike Hoffman

A small blue and white signreads, "Helping Fresno Grow.This Parcel For Sale." The leveland'vacant land is covered with awinter carpet of low greenweeds. Sounds from the nearbyhighway blend with the traffic onthe streets. This is the corner ofFresno and F Streéts: rede-veloped city property desired byboth the State Center Commu-nity College District and theChihuahua Corporation.

Representatives from the twogroups spoke at a Fresno CityCouncil meeting luesday. Thecorporation had asked the councilfor "declaratory relief," a court

lengthy discussion on plans forthe property.

If the college district acquiresthe land, a new home for theVocational Tlainins Center willbe built there. Thelen+.er trainsauto mechanics.

"\{'e are a training center, withan emphasis on experience," saidRichard Christl, head teacher atthe center. "Our 180 studentsspend two hours in the classroomand ^..¡e hours in thê garage, fivedays a week. We teach theskills necessary to get jobs."

The center is now in threegreen metal buildings near thesouthwest corner of East and

Annadale Avenues, a locationsouth of town with limitedfaciìities. The center needs moreelectricity and gas than the linescan carry, according to Christl.The nearest, bus stop is over ahalf mile and the buildings do notmeet California code.

"These buildings do not meetthe California earthquake stan-dards," said Christl. "The districtboard studied the problem andfound that it would cost almost asmuch to bring them up to code asto build new buildings."

The proposed center wouldhave separate buildings for eachof the automotive sections, suchas tune-up or motor rebuilding,said Christl. Five bus lines runalong this property. Christlthinks it is a convenient locationbecause, "A lot of our studentscome from the west side ofFresno."

The Chihuahua Corporationviews the prgperty as convenienttoo.

, Four blocks 'south of theFresno street property, on thecorner of F and Môno, thecorporation operates a tortillafactory and a store. Thecorporation hopes to expand thescope of its operation on the new6t/z-acte lot and to bring morebusiness to west. Fresno. Theexpanded operation would in-clude a factory, a restaurant, adelicatessen, and a culturalcenter complex.

"Our present facility is about16,000 square feet. The newfacility would be around 50,000

'square feet," said Frank Villegas,part owner of the eorporation."We employ 85 people. With the

employ 200,se people asmore traffic

The Chihuahua proposal wouldhave the additioiral' benefTt ofincreasing Fresno city taxrevenues.

"Today we do $2.5 millionworth of business in a year. \ileexpect to do at least $B million inthe new complex. This will bringm.o.re tax_mon€/," suggestedVillegas. "It will be a shõiin thearm for west Fresno."

Before eitner the Chihuahuaproject or the vocational centerc¿n be developed, the court mustmake a decision on the city'sobligation to sell. City attorney,Spencer Thomas Jr. assertedthat the decision could take fromtwo weeks to a year depending.on the court calendar. StantonLevy, attorney for the Chihua-hua corporation, was moreoptimistie.

"I can't see it (the courtdecision) takring more than sixmonths," he said.

College district officials be-lieve that the city is under abiriding contract to see to thedistrict. A decision to that effectis likely, according to ChancellorCharles E. Chapman.

"I am reasonably confidentthat the court will decide in ourfavor," he said.

If the court decides that thecity is not under a bindingagreement, then the cit] councilmust decide who will buy theproperty. Levy believes thatChihuahua will be allowed to buythe land.

. "I have received i¡dicationsthat the only reason the citycouncil wants to sell to theeollege district is because theythink they a¡e under a bþdingagreement," said Levy, "TheChihuahua corporation feels con-ñdent that we will be allowed topurchase the property."

Loss of tne property wouldc¿use difficulties for the collegedistrict. the search for the newsite has already taken two years,according to Chapman.

"It probably would'take usanother two years before we¡vould find another adequatepiece of land," he said. "We arelimited by various criteria. First,the site must be easily accessibleto the students. Second, the pricemust be in the proper range.Third, we need a site of at þastsix acres."

The college district has al-ready invested $60,000 in archi-tectural fees for the new center,Chapman indic¿ted. The Chihua-hua corporation has offered docover those feee, as well as legalexpenses to the city,.in an effortto facilitate the s¿le of theproperty to the corporation.

"Chihuàhua will pay for thelegal bills and 've also are willingto cover the architectu¡al feesinvolved," said Levy.

Some confusion existed at themeeting on whether the corpora-tion was willing to pay thedifference in price for anothersite for the vocational eenter.

Councilman Elvin C. Bellf;hought that the corporation waswillingto make úp the difference.While speaking to Chapmanduring the meeting, BeU said,"You have reeeived a commit-'ment from Chihu¿hua fgr moneyto pay for the difference iD a newsite. Yoù should use thisinformatio¡ in yorir presentatronto the board of trustees."

Chapman asked the sorporr-tion repr_esentatives if theirsompany would cover the púcedifference for another site. Thequestion went unanswered andthe matter was not cla¡ified.

After the meeting Villegaôsaid that they were willing tocover the legal and architectural[ees, though the district hadnever given them any indic¿tionof the amount. IIe also statedthat they would not cover theprice difference for ¿nother sÍtefor the voc¿tion¿l center.

5p ring Enrollnenf up

Enrollment is up a little fromthe previous spring semester,from 16,345 in 1977 to L6,774now.

A couple of hundred morestudents and the enrollmentcould have redched the lg76spring semester figure of 17,000.Fall semesters always have ahigher enrollment . than springsemesters, stated'RegistrãtioñOfficer Allyn Gerard. Somepeople say it's the weather,others that a lot of studentstransfer or graduate in thesprtng semester.

Gerard said the increase inenrollment is due to increasingpopularity of community out-reach programs. Classes are

t,aught at such locations asMadera, Oakhurst, Kerman,North Fork, Caruthers andoff-campus sites in Fresno, suchas Hoover High, Clovis West,and the Internal RevenueService Cénter.

Also a large dumber ofnon-traditional students arecoming back along with theEnabìer program that has been asuccess. Gerard alsô commentedthat women are a bis addition tothe increase. ThereÈ a 50/50 orhigher enrollment for womenthan men, probably becausetnere are more career-mindedwomen than there were before.

There seems to.be a decline inveterans enrollment,

"The soups are a gathering ofmenus, ideas, and good familyrecipes," Hashimoto revealed.

The walls are elad with sportspictures and signatureò ofSouper Bowl customers.

"The pictures are of localathletes," Jackson pointed out."We want to keep it withinFresno. All these pictures mean

Robinson was both Jackson'sand Hashimoto's teacher duringtheir high school days in Fowler-."When we had him for class,"Jackson explains, "we had astocks and bonds class and heleally initiated this...he reallydrilled it in our head that hewould like to do this someday.You know how it goes," helaughs, "we said 'well, yeah,sute, someday, sure sure,'just toplease hm for then.

"lVhen I came back from SanDiego (he. attended San DiegoSt¿te University after leaving

FCC), I remember going to seehim after school and we t¿lkedfor a long time. He saidremember that'and I said'sure Ido.' He said 'well what do'yousay?'I said'you can count me in.'

Thedecor a6-inch$1.60, a 3-ineh sandwich and soup(a favorite among the "regulars")is about S1.90, or a bowl of soupalone for about $1.01. Salads willbe an upcoming attraction.

"In summer time, s¿lads aremore popular," Kenriy disclosed.j'It's hot. People don't alwayswant hot soup (although theSouper Bowl has cgld soups,also), so we'll offer salads. I thinkwe'll feature two soups a daywith our salads."

The Souper Bowl is not nowopen on weekends, but eventual-ly will be open for business onSaturdays, when any ofthe threeowners e¿n make time to handlethe extra business.

Coach Bob Fries, in his 10thyear as head coach of the trackteam, feels that the 1978 track

, season may produce fine results.After finishing second in the

Coaching only his second yearof men's tennis, Bill Wayte feelsthat after one year he haslearned quite a bit about men'stennis.

"I learned a lot my first yearcoaching it," he said. "This year Iam more relaxed." One reasonfor this is that "it's nice to havean abundance of players backfrom last year's team, becausethey are used to the way I runthings."

Coach Wayte says that thisyear's team ."personality isdifferent from last year's team inthat everybody is seriouslyinterested in winning. They arevery competitive."

Mclane graduate who last yearplayed a strong No. 5 position for -

the team.John Haug from Bullard, also

back from last year's squad,played a competitive No. 6position last year.

Also back is Will McFeeters,who teamed with Heffington tomake a solid combo at thirddoubles. Joe Pombo, out ofFresno High, is an exciting andexplosive player back this year.Joe played No. 4 on the ladder insingles and No. 2 doubles.

TIIE FUNCTION OF MAN

For centuries, scientists and philosophers have bec-¡endeavoring to understand the origin of man and the reason forhis existence, hoping to find the meaning ¡f human life. SecondCorinthians 4:7 tells us that man is a vessel. Genesis 1:26 saysthat nian was made in the image of God. From these two verseswe can see that God's intention is that Christ would enter intoman and be expressed through him.

Consider the illustration of a glove. A glove and a hand bothhave five fingers. The glove is made in the image of the handwith the purpose that one day the hand might enter into theglove. The hand fills the glove and the glove expresses thehand. However, if the glove were filled with rocks and throwninto the sea its purpose would be frustrated.

Like the glove and the hand, man was made to contain andexpress Christ. He is not like a knife, a hammer or anyinstrument to perform a work for God. Rather, he is a vessel, acontainer. If, as a vessel, m¿n is not filled with the propercontents, his true purpose is never realized and he is ultimatelya frustrated person. A glove has no conscious¡ess if iLs purposeis not fulfilled. But we humans do have a consciousness, andbeneath our outward veneer there is a voice remindi¡g us thatour lives must have a purpose.

So then, the need is cl-ear. Christ as the contests needs to fillus ¿s the container. But practically how is this possible? InRomans 9 we see that we are vessels, and i¡ Romans 10 we seethc way to fill the vessels. It is by opening our mouth to eall onthe name of the Lord Jesus. In this way it is possible for us to befilled with Hirn and express Him.

Bit of sodness

The trees are silent, the wind blows only on the empty dirtand sand, while machines bite into the surface of our homeplanet.

All trees are taken and torn asunder, rendered all in thename of bcluty. An old building supposedly unsafe to use isbattered over and over again, yet does noí yield. But themachines prevail and the building is torn down, left in morepieces than the trees that surrounded it.

Only one lonely tree remains; it is a symbol of time andmemory. It has watched many students come ánd go, but knowsthat at any moment, a machine may rear its ugly head and rip itto pieces.

The campus green was once a place of beauty; then themachínes came and began their ugly task; the grass'died first,,and when the trees did not, the ma<:hines attacked.

Perhaps the new landscaping will look better, but it cannotreplace the memories of students who sat on the benches or layunder the sun, watching the day go by. Should anyone sufferthe memories, and wanl, thr: days of old, one can only watch asprogtess makes its own beauty.

Dear Editor:Former ASB president Sleve

Segal simply doesn't face reality.In fact, he has twisted it and

forgotten the reasons he cameinto office at the beginning of thisyear.

I refer all students to the Sept.22 issue of the Rampage, and the.bottom of Page 4 and 5.

The comment in questionreads, "I don't like to say there isapathy on this campus; that's acop-out."

Yet is it not a "cop-out" to runfor only half a year, then

to the students to have alameduek president who knowsbefore he is elected he won'tÏulfill lis term of office.

I am appalled at the use ofSegal's letter-the gentleman hasvirtually no coneern for the office

irnd rt'sponsibility he :rccepted,nor does he feel he has cheatedthe students out of representa-tion (I point out the election ofSue Martin with a tolal of fourwrite-in ballots). Nor do Iunderstand the rationale ofputting personal goals ahead ofthe students when he tries tomake his resignation seemlegitimate.

Although I am not "Teaser andthe Firecat," I can understandtheir reference to Peifer; by thefact ASB does not have thecourage to obtain the services (todo so would be blasphemy totheir advisers!), such persons asPeifer are the only source ofentertainment we can expect.

I have the guts to sign myname, Segal. lVhy can't you havethe guts and sacrifice to re¡nainin office?

'Unknown Fowers' opt tobecome o known turkey

By Mark Hern¡ndez

What can you say about at urkey that you get free passeslo?

"Unknown Powers," a DonComo film, is as unique a film as"The Little Shop of Horrors." Iwill admit that this is not theworst lilm I have ever seen, and[hat as far as I can - see thefootage used in it has beendocumentt'd to some largeexten[, but the manner ofpresentation is the worst I haves(ìl) n.

Apparently Como had alimitt'd tinrc to produce this film,:rs wt.ll ts the limited time towork with lor its length, and thisshows in the explanation of"t'ctoplitsm" (:r remarkable sub-stance exudt'd from persons ins(.:rnce or dt ep trance), thet'xperiences oI persons who havebt'en pronounced derd and comeback to lik', rnd other lesserknown pht'nomen:r.

Brird Steiger, a noted author-ity lnd reselrcher who investi-gates this type of occurrence,helped in writing the script, yet Iwonder how much of his workwas-edited out. Steiger does notwrite very little on any subject.

It is virtually impossible tocriticize cinematography, as avast majority of the seenes arefrom other cameras'and news-

reels. The music, on the otherhand, reminded me of an aborted1950's horror film.

Ah, well, it was free, so I really ,

can't complain, but I am of theopinion that I would only pay tosee it if I had 30 friends with me,and a supply of bad puns...
