to serve on cornm¡tteesIn its longest meeting this

year, the ASB Senate dealtTuesday with several items nothandled during a special meetingOct. 28 that was cancelled due tothe lack of a quorum.

The major item was again theASB budget. The Senate wasestablished no permanent work-ing budget for the year. Theproposed budget calls for expen-ditures of $81,4õ0 for 197677.

This budget is smaller thanbefore due to the State CenterCommunity College Eistrict tak-ing over funding of cocurricularactivities (previously funded þASB), and a cut imposed on ASBfees.

Executive Vice PresidentMark llernandez explained tothe Sen¿te the function ofvarious accounts under ASB, butas time went on it becameapparentlosing itsof LegisKen Mitchell, Herna¡dez askedfor an ad hoc committee to deslwith the budget, as procedures inthe ASB By-Laws havé been¡endered iuoperative by actions

of the SCCCD Board of Trustees.The committee was formed, andwill meet today at I p.m. torecommend aetion to the Senate.

Having returned from theExtended Opportunity Programsand Servjces (EOPS) ìtateconference, Joel Cotten, EOpSstudent and senator, reportedthat three FCC students nowheld office in the EOPS orgtniz,a-tion, and will try to work withthe Senate by informing them ofitems of interest.

ASB President DaveSchroeder announced he isfinding it difficult þ fill positionson certain committees whichneed student involvement: Heasied any senator interested tocontact him for mo¡e informa-tion, or any interested studentoutside the Senate to do thesame.

lwo committee reports werethen given to the Sèn¿te. TheIlandicapped Students Commit-tee passed out a pamphlet whichgives information on laws re.garding hand builChairm¿n

that the Senate take these under¿dvisernent in regards to futureactions by his committee.

Parliamentarian Larry Wie-miller, chairman of the ASBcurriculum committee, broughtto the attention of the Sen¿tesome proposed changes in theinstructionaF sector of the c¿m-pus, primarily on new Enablerprogram eours¡es for handicappedstudents. Other changes werealso mentioned, including aproposed change in the adminis-tration of Justice courses.

The Senate approved a request from Ann TValker, market-ing inctructor and advisor ofDECA, a business oriented clubon campus, for a $260 lo¿n tosend DECA president PattyCallaghad to Scottsboro, Ariz.¡9¡ s þ¿ining conference.

George llowsepian

HowsepÍon fílls rnoscot roleBy Mttrl Huert¡

Every Saturday night GeorgeHowsepian drives to RatcliffeStadium, gets out of his car, putson his head, loses himself and hisidentity and becomes "TheRam."

"It's like a Jekyll-Hyde rela-tionship," says George, strokinghis full-length beard. "[ _amGeorge until I put on the head,and then I am the Ram. No oneknoús who the Ram is...noteven me."

Sounds pretty far-fetched,right? Well, not for Howsepian,19, FCC's latest mascot.

"I volunteered for the jobwhen I heard they (cheerleadersand adviser Janice Jansen) hadto search so hard to find one,"confesses Howsepian, who wasonee a Ram mascot at PolaskiHigh in his home town ofMilwaukee, Wis.

"I was th¡illed when heapproached me," recalls Jansen.

And so George was in businessas a mascot, and that's the wayhe views his role.

I'm a performer. I am ashowman," states George.

As a performer George has noroutine. Instead he just lets thecrowd, music and atmosphere

move him.George's first game was an

emotional high and an egotisticalletdown afterwards.

"I was so . high during thegame. I was moving, the teamwas winning and the little kidsloved me. I was touched." recallsHowsepian.

He might have been high, butexhausted is more like it.

He moved all night and byhalftime he was soaked inperspiration. He said he prayedto God saying "it w¿s very hot inhere (the costume) and would heplease cool it down."

By game's end George wasready for a shower and arub-down. "I was dizzy, cross-eyed and weak in the knees. I feltlike I had played the game justlike the players," said George. "Irvas completely drained ofenergy."

One feeling GeorgB did notexpect to encounter was the kidsfollowing him like the pied piper."I felt like a Saturday morningcartoon hero. I wasn't a humannor an animal but'somewhere inbetween."

Probably George's biggestdisappointment was when the

game was over and the Ramtransferred into good ol' every-day George Howsepian.

"Nobody cared anymore. Theydidn't look at me any mo¡e. I feltlike the invisible man," com-plained George, who said he is anattention seeker.

George did have the unusualtask of answering some of hisfollowers.

For instance, one. youngsterasked him where he got his hair.George quipped "from my momand dad."

Another puzzling question thathe faced was whether the Ramwas a female or male. "It doesn'tmatter who is i¡side. . . . the R¿mis the Ram. It's a unisex mascot,"he joked.

Finally George had to get useto looking left but seeing straightahead. The head is alwayslooking one way but Im alwayslooking another. That's why Ibumped into all those little kids.George also pointed out that it iseasier to girl-watch as a Ram.

George feels the mascot should '

represent energy and spirit.Does George feel he hasaceomplished that?

He yells with a tone ofconfidence. "I have done it!"

Drum mojoreffe qccepts dqreBy Donalyn C¡rlmn"It all began as a joke,"

remarked FCC's first drummajorette, Bernice "Bunny" Led-better.

"When I was a sophomore inhigh school a friend and I weretalking," she said. "Somethingwas said about the drum majorand my friend laughed at mewhen I said anyone could do it.He said I couldn't do it because Iwas a girl."

the conversation ended up asa dare and a challenge for Bunny.Accepting the dare, Bunnythought to herself, "Well, I'llshow him!"

Unaware of the first thingabout being a drum majoretteand equipped only with encour-aging parents, she blindly beganto practice. After practicing themarchingand baton twirlinç shefound to her amazement that shehad accident¿lly stumbled upo¡ apastime ehe thoroughly enjoyed.

In her senior year at BullardHigh, Bunny showed her dare-making friend just what she.could do when she becameBullard's drum majorette. Now,in her first year here at FCC, sheis our first drum majorette (notbaton twirler).

A lot of people den't under-stand at first what it is exactlythat Bunny does. She comments,"They usually think I play thedrums. Then when I tell themthat I lead the band they usuallylook at me funny and ask, 'Isn't aguy supposed to do that?' andthen remark how courageous it isfor me to do it."

Bunny was quick to add, "I'mnot a women's libber trying to,prove something. I just enjoydoing it. Mostly bec¿use it'sdifferent." People apparentlydon't expect the tall, blond girl to'be a drum majorette, a jobordinarily held by a male.

As far as leadership and

discipline are concerned, Bunnyfeels that she had more to dowith that in her band in highschool. At FCC, Gil Rodriguez,the band director, fondly knownby the band members as Mr.Rod. takes care of most of that.However, Bunny still feels that,"I have a responsibility to myselfto do a good job."

Bunny's compensation for thetwo hours a day she practices athome and at school would be theawards she has won. Shereceived a first place in theVeteran's Day parade leadingthe band from Bullard, and twoseconds. One c¿me from thedrum major camp she attendedlast year in Santa Barbara andone from the California TwirlingInstitute's contest she entered onher own,

Although she will have to facecompetition once again, Bunny ishoping to be the drum majorettefor FCC next year too.

Among the many assistanceprograms and services offered bythe FCC office of SupportiveServices is a service designed tomeet the special neêds ofex-offenders, the "Pinto" pro-gram.

Supportive Services advisorsAl Arredondo and Sal Mena arein charge of the program, namedfor a slang term for ex-offendersthat has been accepted by them.

The program makes availablepersonal counseling, financialaid, tutorial services, academiccounseling, guidance in use ofon- and off-campus supportiveservices, and other services opento regular Extended OpportunityProgram students. In addition,"Pintos" are enrolled in a specialgroup dynamics- course designedfor- ex-offenders.

Aecording to Mena, "thisuniquely sensitive program isdesigred to create and developservices and aetivities that çillassist offenders and ex-offendersin re-adjusting socially andeconomically, and to redirect theex-offender from a criminalenvironment, to thus reduce the

ra-te of recidivism."To join the program, one must

be an ex-parolee (or parolee), afulltime student. of low-incomestatus (and in need of thefinancial support the programaffords), and, most important,show a strong desire to achievesuccess in higher education andwork.

A great deal of the program'sguidance is provided through thespecial group dynamics course,taught by Arredondo. Althoughthe emphasis of the coursecenters on the problems ofe¡-offertders, Mena said thatsocial sciences and administra-tion of justice majors also attend.

In addition to the counselingprovided by the two advisors,two student aides in the programact as peer counsellors. Otherspecial student-managed activi-ties include a "Pinto" newsletterdealing with items affectingex-offenders.

. Students interested in this andother programs offered by theOffice of Supportive Services inthe areas of financial assistanceand personal coúnseling areinvited to visit A-109.

Music, drqmo ore 'Iurn-ollstfor FCC song wr¡Ier-guiforisf

BY Lori ffçlrm¡nnWill Mazzina believes in music.

"It fills a void," he remarked."Music combines the intellectualabstraction of poetry with theemotional and physical expres-

- sion of rhythm and melody."Mazzina is a folk singer, a

songwriter, and well on the wayto making his mark in the musicindustry. Although he has neverstudied music, Mazzina haswritten 40 original songs, per-formed throughgut the westernUnited St¿tes. and has even beenoffered record contracts,

"My goal is to record my ownoriginal music and produce myown original concert," he said,adding, 'ï'm confident I'll make itin the music field."

Loc¿lly, Mazzita has already"made it." He's played at 20various places in Fresno that hiresolo singers, most frequently theOlympic.

"The Olympic is a tavern inVan Ness Village," he explained."fve been playing my musicthere off and on for years. It's aleg"acy place for folk singers, likethe Bitter End in New York forDylan. I play there, not because Ineed a job, but because I feel Ican do something for it, keep it atthe level it's at."

Elsewhere in California, M¿z-zina has performed in LosAngeles, Santa Cruz, Sacra-

mento and Bakersfield. He's alsoplayed out of state; Portland,Tahoe, Sun Valley, Denver,Tucson and Albuquerque, toname a few.

"I'm not commercial." Mazzinacommented. "I'm a maverick asfar as music goes. That's why Ihaven't accepted any recordcontracts yet, I haven't found thepeople I want to work with."

"I intend to be as important asI e¿n, but I feel I'm vital to theindustry now," he concluded.

Mazzi¡a graduated fromRoosevelt High School in lg6?¿nd attended FCC the followingsemester. Then he spent l3months as a Marine in Viet Namand after the service went on theroad.

"I was a 'road scholar,"' hegrinned. "I practieally have adegree in it."

But in order to prepareseriously for his career, Mazzinasettled baek in F¡esno - and atFCC. He will complete l5 unitsthis semester. but not one is inmusic.

"I got a guitar when I was 16and taught myself everything Iknow," he explained. "I desire tobe self-taught. The enjoyment ofmusic is in discovering it."

All of Mazzina's classes are intheatre arts, "I love the stage,"he remarked. "Getting into

isn't enough, you need todiscipline the talent. I'm self-taught so I have to beself-disciplined. I hope to be inmore productions."

Earlier this year, Mazzinaperformed in "The MarriageProposal" and he is currentlyworking backstage for "TheCrucible."

Mazzina feels that the mostimportant reason for going toschool is to become "more thanan entertainer. I have to find abalance between being an enter-tainer, an artist, and a craftsman.Many people can entertain, butan artist brinç out the deepestfeelings inside and a craftsmantakes the elements at hand andmakes them into somethingbeautiful."

Ken Dose has done more forFCC women's volleyball thanwomen's lib has done for theERA.

Now, Dose might have out-done himself in landing thewomen's state volleyball tour-nament in the FCC gym on Nov.19-20.

"This has to be the finesttournament in the state and thewinner eould legitimately callitself the best team in the state,"commented Dose, who was lastyear's vee-ball coach. He will

serve as the tournament direc.tor.

The format of entrants willinclude four Central CaliforniaCollege teams--FCC, Reedley,Merced and COS-as well as thetop two teams from the state's llleagues.

"The reason for having the toptwo teams_ enter is bec¿use asecond-place team in one leaguemight be stronger than afirst-place team in anotherleague," explained Dose.

Tourney favorites for the2l-team field include Reedley,

Merced, American River, Cabril-geofys

Play begins at 9 a.m. and willcontinue into the evening.

On Friday, the field will bedivided into three pools of seven,with eight teams advancing toSaturday's double elimination'sfight for first place.

the consolation game willbegin at ?:30 p.m. Saturday, withthe championship game immedi-ately following.

'Equolity under [ow' Potty Cqllqghoncome lote for minorities wi ns DECA post

("Equality Under the Law-1776 to 1896" is the llth in ayear-long series of essays onpeople, ideas and events thatshaped American history aswritten by faculty, students andstaff at Fresno City College. thisessay was written by politicalscience instructor Joseph MooreJr.)

By Ih. Joeeph Moore, Jr.

The American system ofpolitical organization is perhapsone of the best devised by theminds of men. However, over thepast 200 years the basicfoundation and the ideal ofequalþ as expressed in theDeclaration of Independencêhave, as practiced, resultedin uuequality under the law formany Americans.

What happened to the ideal socogently expressed by ThomasJefferson when he wrote:

"We hold these truths to beself-evident, that all men arecreated equal, that they areendowed by their Creator withcertain unalien¿ble Rights, thatamong these are Life, Libertyand the pursuit of Happiness."

Equality under the l¿w means,at least, that each Americ¿n is onan equal footiug before the l¿w,the legislatures, the courts, ¿ndùhe police st¿tions. Jefferson'sideal, at besL meant that underthe l¿w there is neither white norbl¿ck, rich nor poor, believer nordisbeliever, but only men, eachhaving an equal claim to dignityand respect.

this ideal, however, has notalways held true in Amerie¿nhistory, especially when relatedto the plight of blacks ¿nd othermiuorities during Ameriea's, frrst2(X) years.

The classifreation of the st¿tusof blacks began at the Constitu-tion¿l Convention in 178? whenthe founders inserted i¡i Article

l, Section 2, of the U.S.Constitution the provision that"Representatives.. .shall be ap-portioned among the severàlstates, by adding to the wholenumber of Free Persons...

Any questions regarding theunequal status of blacks beforethe law were made categoricallyclear by the U.S. Supreme Courtin 1857 in the now famous (orinfamous) Dred Scott case. DredScott, a slave. had sued for hisfreedom on the grounds that hehad resided in free tenitory (thest¿te of Illinois and the TerritqryofMinnesot¿) even though underthe eustody of his master.

At issue in the case was theeffort of Congrese through theMissouri Compromise of 1820 toput aside the moral and politicaldivision i¡ the nation over theexpansion of slavery into thewestern territory. Under theterms of the Compromise,Missor¡ri was to be admitted tothe Union ¿s a slave state, but allterritory north of 36' Í10" latitudewithin the Louisi¿n¿ îerritorywould be admitted as free st¿teswhile all tenitory south of the

'Ii¡e could become sl¿ve states.

Nonetheless, the Compromisedid not survive. Chief JusticeRoger B. Taney, speaking for theCourt in the Scott decision notedthat Congress was withoutpower and aeted unconstitution-ally in depriving a person "fromholding and owning property ofthis kind (sl¿ves) in the territorymentiòned in the Compromise orin any place in the United St¡tes.Congress h¿d no authority toeonfer.the rights and privilegesof citizenship on sl¿ves or thei¡

descendants."D.A. Bell, Jr. in his book

"R¿ce, Racism and AmericanLaw," wrote that this case" gratuitously deprived blackseven in free st¿tes of rights ofcitizenship (and) is an example-often repeated-of how blacksbecome little more than pawns inlitigation nominally concerningcivil rights, but actually provid-ing a forum for the resolution ofcompeting interests of the whitemajority."

In his legal rationale for theScott decision, Taney observed:

"In the opinion of the court,the legislation and histories ofthe times, and language usedin the Declaration of Indepen-dence, show that neither thecl¿ss of persons who had beenimported as slaves, nor theirdescendants...were thenacknowledged. . .to be includedin the general words used in thatmemorable instrument."

In spite of Taney's rationale inthis case, the Dred Scott decisiondid not resolve the slavery issuè.If anything, the decision madethe factional division in then¿tio¡ more adamant and even-tually led to the war between thest¿tes.

As a result of the Civil TÍar,blacks were aceorded the l¿wfulstatus of freedmen throughpresidential proclamation, thestatutory process and constitu-tional amendments (13th, 14th,and lSthlthat attcmpted to plaeethe f¡eed blacks on an equalco¡stitutional footing with allcitizæns.

The hysteria of the Mc0arthyEr¿ left i¡ its wake countlessnumbers of ruined lives. Thes¡tsrt¿inrn€nt industry was es-pecially hard hit by the reper-cussions of Senator Mc0arthy'saccusations.

Lists of 'those whose patriot-ism was in doubt were circul¿ted,and those whose n¿mes appearedwere dismissed. Although no oneever ofüeially admitted that sucha list did exist, scores ofentertainment figures were fhedunder the pretense that thei¡work was not suitsble or up topar.

Materi¿l for "The Front" wasgathered first-hand by writerlValter Bernstein, and directorMartin Ritt, both of whom wereblacklist victims. "I c¿n't use yoganymore. I'm not supposed to têllyou this but your name is onsome kind of list and people onthat list can't work." That waéhow Bernstein was informed ofhís situation by director SydneyLumet. Bernstein did continue toúork during the years he wasblacklisted (1950-1958) throughthe use of several "fronts."

Likewise, members of thelilm's cast were also blacklisted.they are Zero Mostel, HerschelBerüardi, Joshua Shelley andLloyd Gough.' Allen, who plays the cashierHoward Prince, agrees to help

As for me, I like it the way it is, and think I'lt just let it slide.

However, by the end of the, century, Southern states andcities had begun to make it acrime for both races to ride in thesame car on a train, attend thesame theater, or go to the sameschool.

The constitutionality of theseconditions was taken before theU.S. Supreme Court in the c¿seofPlessy vs. Ferguson (1896). Inthat inst¿nce, the'Court gavejudicial (and constitutional) sanc-tion to the "separate but equal"doctrine and, in reality, legalizedthe nationalization of racism inAmerica.

In concluding, it seems thatAmerica had had 200 years of theDeclaration of Independence, butfor some Americans (blacks,Chinese, l¡din¡s, women, etc.) avery few years of freedom.

out a friend who has been labeleda subversive, by acting as his"front." Along with his newidentity Prince also acquires agirlfriend, 8 script girl namedFlorence (Andrea MarcoVlcci).

Prince is an instant success asa writer, and fully enjoys baskingin the limelight. He is asked tospeak to an assembly at his oldschool, as a distinguished alum-nus, and even becomes a TVcelebrity.

Prince also develops a preten-tious attitude, and begins torequest revisions, because thematerial is not up to hisst¿ndards. Bernstein tells ofhowone ofhis "fronts" turned down ascript; "I can't send this in, It'snot funny enough, I have myname to think about."

One problem that Prince doeqhave is his growing att¿chmenfto Florence. He begins to wonderif she would have the sameadmiration for Prince the book-maker, that she does for Princethe writer.

At this time Hecky Brown(Zero Mostel), a popular star ofthe show that Prince writes for,is fired, bec¿use he marched in aMay Day Parade six years ago.Another strike against Brownwas his subscription to the"Daily lVorker," but he says "Inever read one word of it."

Brown's adversary is anagency called "Freedom Infor-mation" that, specializes indigging into a citizen's past todetermine whether he is adanger to democracy. In despera-tion, Brown had agreed to do theone thing that would haveexoneraùed him. write a letterconfessing to his activities. The

letter does him no good' bee¿usehe failed to incriminate o/thers.,He is asked for more names, andhe refuses.

In spite of his pleas' Brown nolonger has a qareer. Being aeomedian, a "front" is out of thequestion. He has been totallydestroyed.

1o protest Brown's dismissal,Florence quits her job, sayingth¿t she is tired of watchingpeople beingdestroyed. She asksÞriice to coillaboratê with her ona newspaper that will tell thetruth about blacklisting. Flor-'enee says she will do the legworkand he can do the writing. Princeknows the paper would spell theend to his career so he refuses.

the t¿bles have now turned,and it is too late to protecthimself. The Committee onUnameriean Activities haslearned of his relationship withFlorence, and summoned him toappear before a sub-committee.The film has now come full ci¡cleand Prince himself is undersuspicion.

Allen's finest seenes are whenhe is under interrogation. Heconfronts them straight on withplans to double-talk his way out.As his ad libs are rebuffed by thecommittee, Prince comes to life.For the first time Prince is nolonger a irookie or a writer, he isa falsely accused citizen, and heis outraged.

The major TV networksrefused Columbia Pictures per-mission to shoot the TV scenes intheir studios, many of which lookjust as they did in the 50's.Perhaps this was because theevents portrayed in "The Front"are real, maybe too real for only20 years ago.

Freedom lqte for m¡nor¡t¡esfrom page 7granted blacks in congressionalstatutes as well as the constitu-tional amendments.

Take, for example, the Courtdecision involving the CivilRights Act of 1875. The lawsought to guarantee "that allpersons within the jurisdiction ofthe United States shall beentitled to the full and equalenjoyment of the accommoda-tions, advant¿ges, theaters andother places of public amuse-menh subject only to theconditions and limit¿tiou esta-blished by law, and applieablealike to citizens of every iaee andcolori regardless of previouscondition of servitude."

Here was an attempt throughcongressional action to givesubst¿nce to the ratrfied CivilWa¡ Amendments, especially the

14th. (This amendment forbadestates from making or executinglaws that abridged the "Pri-vileges and immunities" ofUnited States citizens, or de-priving "any person of life,liberty or property without thedue process of law," or fromdenying to "any. person within(their) jurisdiction of equalprotection ofthe laws.") In 1883,however, the Civil Rights Aet of1815 was decl¿red unconstitu-tional by the U.S. SupremeCourt.

Segregation laws requiring theseparation of blacks and whitesonly date badr to the end of the19th century. Before that time, itwas socioeconomic st¿tus andconvention, rather than law, thatkept the races apart.
