Everyone I

By Henry Gutierrez

"Step right up, come on in, seethe world's ugliest man as seenon television's Johnny Carsonshow. Also the 6-foot Sinch boyonly 12 years old. And if that'snot enough we have a man withtwo noses and three eyes.

"The regular price is $1.50 foradults and 75 cents for children,but for only two minutes we willadmit everyone for the hall priceof 75 cents," the ba¡ker calledout, and a group of interestedfairgoers gathered.

The 1978 edition of "The BigFresno Fair" is appearing on theFresno Dist¡ict Fairgroundsuntil Sunday. Agriculture, Cali-fornia's livelihood, is headlined,with the tractor and produceexhibits as main attractions.

The midway, with massiveferris wheels, bumper cars, cointosses, is a myriad of calìs for theunwary to "take a chance."

''Throw the basketball into thehoop, win a stuffed animal," isechoed down the jungle of peoplewith kids tugging on theirparents' pants asking to take justone more ride.

rrTake that you clownttSkydiver- harrowing but fun

Some exhibits can be so fascinating It'Wheres that gentle

ves o foir

Besides the small photobooths, and chickens that þtay atune on a piano, are the various

corndogs,ches, and

ibits showprize animals raised by themassive ranchers or a'4 H-er fora project. Photos abound, fromlocal shutterbugs to internationalentries, from places tike Chinaand Belgium.

It seems that the fair is thesame as it has been in the past.The exhibits that have to shownew product,s such as cars,trucks, or hot tubs have¡emained basically the same.Only the faces have changed. Thesmall child is still in awe of theMichelin man or the pony ride.

Although the Fresno Fair maybe the same, the excitement thatit brings every October iswritten all over the face of a childwho pets a small calf or is tryingto tackle a mass of cotton candy.

Even the adults can enjoythemselves, when they hear thewords, "And they're off. . ."

"Parking is'a problem for thesimple reason that we don't haveenough psrkirg stalls," Shrumsaid.

In the past, parkùig lots wereplanned for the l¡nd beneath theÞ!¡ngalows at University andMa¡o¿ and the old adrninistr.ationbuilding. Obviously, ¡either havebeen paved. Cu¡rent hopes for

,more parking beyond the r¿il-road tracks will probably remainonly hopes, too.

"Our main problem boils downto economics, having enoughmoney to expand what we haveand afford upkeep. Bec¿use ofIlop. 18, I don't know if they'regoingto have funds to build moreparking spaces," Shrum s¿id.

Shrum believe's illegal parkerswill always be a problem at FCC.

"For Bome," he said, "it's Ichallenge to see if they c¿n avoida tie:het."

honoring the dead after 40 days.That is the reason I am writingthis letter.

On Sept. 8, 1978, the Shah ofIran's army opened fire onmasses of lranian people protest-ing his rule. According to somereports between 7 and 10thousand people were mas-sacred.

The propaganda machine ofthe Sh¿h's fascist regime istrying again to characterize themass movements as "fanaticMoslems," "Islamic Marxist."etc., who are "opposed to Shah'sliberalization." The U.S. pressfollows this line.

Who are these "fanatics"?Active participation of anyone isnothing but the expression ofpeople's aspiration for democ-racy and independence. Is itreally possible that these esti-mated 4 million people whoparticipated Sept. 8 are allfanatics?

On Friday, Sept 8, thousandsof people barricaded the streets

of Tehran, putting up harshresist¿nce against the attacking .,Shah's troops, tanks, ârmoredc¿rs, etc. The Shah's regime,facing a deep and desperatecrisis, has not only put up all itsihilitary forces against thegrowing struggle, but Israelitroops have been called in.

, The active participation ofIsraeli army helicopters tocombat the masses and commit-ment of a plane 'load of Israelitroops to safeguard the Shah oflran's life are a few exarnples ofsuch involvement. Also the StateDepartment, analyzing the situa-tion as explosive and dangerousto U.S. interests in the MiddleEast area, has taken manyactions to counterattack themasses of people.

The "lhah's personal interviewwith a French reporter in whichhe declares that if the movementbpcomes a thre¿t to his regimehe will annihilate the wholepeople, is another indication ofthe present situation in lran.

How closely and immediatelyis this related to the U.S. - itsgovernment and its people? Ifwhat I have said above is notenough, maybe the fact thatthere are over 40,000 U.S..advisers in Iran will open youreyes.

the Shah's army is trained byour advisers and is beingequipped with billions of dollarsworth of U.S.-made sophisticatedweapons. The trS sold more armsto Iran than any other country.this is how the Shah is trying tohold on to power.

\{e would like to issue an openinvitation to SCCCD Boardmembers and administrativeemployees to leave their air-conditioned offices. and sit-in onone of the afternoon or eveningelectronics classes in T-406 orT-404 on any 90 degree-plusafternoon or evening,

Most classes in these 90degree-plus classrooms are fourhours a day, five days a week.We invite them to try to remainalert and attentive, rather thanthinking about how hot, stickyand miserable it is.

Even though these adverselearning conditions apply to onlyfour or five months of theacademic year, we feel it is an

urgent problem.Last year the electronics labs

(T404 and T-406) were con-verted to combination lab-classrooms. This was done toallow T-406 and T-403 to becomeavailable for other classes.

At that time the administra-tion promised air conditioningunits from the old administratio¡building, and funds were allo-cated. Now we understand thatthe funds are "no longeravailable."

Instead, it seems the board hasdeemed it more important to payabout $20,000 for a statue andanother $4,0fi) to have it moved.

ial is a prime example of theoften proclaimed suspicion -thatthe journalistie trade is dräma-tically evolving into one which islong on pretensions, but woefultyshort in substance and veracitv.

Doug Hamilton's assertiónthat "The Warren Commission(said) that Oswald was not alone(in the assassination of JohnKennedy) and that there were(should be "was!") more than oneassassin, perhaps four. ormore..." is blatantly erroneous;the Warren Commission pro-pounded and adamantly. de-fended the single-assassintheory, despite seemingly over-whelming emotionalized evi-dence to the contrary.

And, within the past two

weeks, Gerald Ford, the mostcelebrated, and indeed one of the. last, members of the WarrenCommission, stated to the HouseAssassinations Sub-Committeethat there has not developed anynew evidence which would haveúused him to have not joined inthe original, unanimous decisionof the Commission that Oswaldwas the lone assassin, had thatevidence been extant at the timeof said decisio¡.

After a while, Creme andGodley went on their own torecord their own album featuringa device they created c¿lled the"Giz¡r¡o."

Stewart and Gouldman con-tinued without them by addingdrummer Paul Bergess to theirlineup.

They added guitarist RickFenn, keyboardist TonyO'Malley, and percussionistStuart Tosh for the to͡r, whiehwas a success and an even moresuceessful live album.

the time came then to reeordanother album. This time theyadded Fenn and Tosh, from thetour, and added Duncan Mackayon keyboards. And that album isBloody Tourists.

Bloody lourists feattues verylittle guitar playing by Stewart,who is playing more piano anddoing more technical work(Stewart does the engineeringand mixing on all the group'salbums).

the album also has some of thefinest songs and òinging byGouldm¿n I've ever heard.Overall, the album is danc¿bleand easy to enjoy (something

that was hard to do before tosome peôple).

It's one of the very few albumsI can enjoy from side to side. Thealbum is very tight and follows abasic musical theme. All thesongs on the album are a crossbetween raege, disco, and rock.

Some of my favorites are "OldMister Time" (which features afine guitar solo by Fenn), "FromRochdale to Ocho Rios" (a songthat will stick in your. headthe most), "Last Night" (excel-lent vocals by Gouldman and finecomposing by Fenn), and "TheAnonymous AlcoholiC' (a superbeffort by Stewart and Gould-man).

However, every song on thealbum is good and worth buying,even if you're not a 10cc fan.

I feel Bloody Tourists willlinally give 10cc the recognitionthey so rightfully deserve.
