A few can ruin it for all
The old adage is that a few can ruin it for all. In this case the few are the
chronic bitchers and complainers on the intramural sports field. Believe it
or not guys, Fresno is well known for its lack of sportsmanship.
And now with the basketball season rapidly approaching, the would-be IM
basketball officials, amateurs all, are already dreading the abuse which will
be vehemently thrown in their direction in the confines of the gym. It was bad
enough on the open football field.
The common complaint from the mouths of the aforementioned bitchers is
that the officials are biased, unprofessional, and just plain bad. %
I've got news for most of you compulsive complainers-you tend to be
biased, unprofessional, and just plain bad.
In actuality, the IM officials here at CSUF are trained beyond what is neces¬
sary for the caliber of play which they officiate, but many times the players'
egos aren' t sufficiently diminished.
If you could get over your macho kick, quit acting like the stars you aren't
(or ever were), and try to remember the main reason for intramurals-to have a
good time, everyone could have a better time on the playing field.
But there are always those few who insist on screwing it up for everyone

Why is the U.S. government afraid of
a trial for the ex-shah.
The answer is very simple. If the shah
goes for a trial, he would be a 'very
strong threat to U.S. government.
Dear American people: you don't
know what the ex-Shah did in Iran, but
American government is very well
aware of it. American government is
also aware that if there is a trial for the
shah, there will be thousands of docu¬
ments confirming the crimes he has t
mined to Iranian people during his
reign of 37 years with the help, and
support of CIA and U.S. government.
It is in such a trial that the American
people can see the true face of their
government and its definition of human
rights. Obviously, knowing the true face
of the government, the American people
would do the same with their govern¬
ment that Iranian people did with the
shah.

Your 'reviewer' Elaine Wohl sadly
misrepresented the rock band the Shirts
and their performance in the CU Lounge
on Nov. 7.
Miss Wohl repeatedly referred to the
band's music as 'standard rock.' This
ride Annie Colden's own description
of the Shirts' music as 'rock'n'roll plus;
melodic, high energy.*
Miss Wohl's blase reaction to the
band was not shared by a majority of
the audience, whom for the most part
responded with enthusiasm to Annie
Colden's dynamic performances and to
the 'high energy' of the rest of the
band. Perhaps Miss Wohl found 'no
song particularly memorable' because
she forgot her note book and couldn't
take down the titles. I remember The
Sun Don't Shine Anymore,* *l Wanna
Be a Rocker.' and 'In the Shadow of
the Cathedral" as .__nd-out tunes.
Although Elaine Wohl has a solid
journalistic background, her writing
lacks direction and seems unable to
break out of the standard CSUF Journa¬
lism formula. With a bit more objectivity
in shaping her reviews she should be
able to pull off a valid and accurate
article.
In dosing, let me say that the Shirts
deserved the PR and'room to work'that
this campus reserves for third-rate acts
like Jan and Dean, or charismatic blab¬
bermouths like Josh.

As students, we are sometimes for¬
tunate enough to take classes from prof¬
essors who are more irrterested in teach¬
ing us than passing us through their
classes.
InTTsodety that b as conservative
and slow to change as ours sometimes
is, professors who attempt to help us
to grow intellectually and conceptually,
rather than to just memorize, are
unique'. More than unique, they are the
key to our gaining a meaningful educa¬
tion and understanding of our society
and our rote in ft.
Those who have had the pleasure of
taking a class with Dr. Lark of the Educa¬
tion Department have experienced a
professor who is one of those unique
teachers. In a society where conformity
is all too often demanded, professors
such as Dr. Lark are beacons of Hope to
every student. In a world of computers

possess.
When we find such a professor, and
he has helped us to grow in our under¬
standing, it is important for ourselves
and those students who will come after
us that we tell others about such instruc¬
tors. For those students who desire
nothing more than a credit and a class
that doesn't require much thought, I
suggest other teachers. For those who
wish to learn and, in so doing, be a
positive force in this society, I strongly
suggest Dr. Lark.

Women cagers open home season in winning form
The CSUF women's basketball squad
opened the home season in winning form
last weekend as the Bulldog cagers de¬
feated UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara
in preseason play.
Opening the home season at Selland
Arena Friday night, coach Diane Miluti-
novich 's Bulldogs romped to a 78-59 win
over Davis. Returning player Connie
Cooch Price led the Bulldog shooting at¬
tack with 16 points as veterans Louise
Tonascia and Pam Harriet followed with
13 and 10 points.respectively. First year
squad member Debbie Bervel and re¬
turnee Linda Johnson also dumped in 10
and 9 points each in the winning effort.
According to Milutinovich, 'Everyone
played very well Friday night.' The team
shot a 47.6 percent which Milutinovich
termed 'real good." The only problem
was a high number of turnovers, she
added. This was due to the fact that the
Bulldogs knew they could run against
Davis which they did resulting in some
bad passes during fast breaks, Milutino¬
vich explained.
But the Bulldog cagers cut the turn¬
overs almost in half as their shooting
percentage jumped up to 51.1 percent
the following night as Fresno defeated
UC Santa Barbara, 79-67, in the "wo¬
men's gym. Price once again led the
Bulldog shooting attack with 23 points
while Tonascia added* 19 and Harriel
dropped in 16.
Hoping to continue that winning style,
Fresno hosts Azusa Pacific Thursday at
4 p.m. in the women's gym and then
takes to the road against Hayward the
following day.
Although a small school, 'they can be
real tough,' Milutinovich said of Azusa.
Fresno cannot afford to take them tight¬
ly, she added.
'Every school in California has im¬
proved over last year,* with more and
better players coming out of high
school, Milutinovich commented.
Fresno has 'improved greatly' in
speed and shooting, according to Milu¬
tinovich. 'I think we can be a surprise in
our league this year,'she said.

The playoffs started last night with the
men's first round and quarterfinal
rounds, and because of an early press
date, results are unknown.
But if seasonal records are any indica¬
tion, barring upsets, four of these five
mens teams should still be alive when
they take the court again on Thursday:
Sons of Birches (5-0, Wednesday 9:00
Dorms) Gun Runners (4-0, Tuesday
Independent 8:00), Craves Second West
(5-0, Monday 9:00 Dorms), Its Official

da Chi Alpha (6-0, Fraternity).
Tonight, starting at 6:00, the women
take to the hard wood, and by tomorrow
only four teams will be left from the 15
who take the court.

around for the semi-final are league

league winners.
Tonight sees Volleyballers (5-0,

while Mixed Nuts go against Mom, Dad,
and the Kids. Also tomorrow night will
be the semi-final matches.
Thursday will be semi-final time for
the men's and women's divisions, and
possibly that night will be final night too,
but that won't be known for.sure until
Wednesday night.
