Up until about 150 years ago, it took almost as long to send communication from Rome to Paris as it did in the time of Caeser. " In this age of technology it is hard to understand that the speed of communication has only recently come about," said Anninger. From Samuel Morse's dots and dashes in 1837 to the discovery of the entire spectrum of electrical waves named the electromagnetic spectrum, in the latter part of the nineteenth century, has come more and more advances in technology in the field of communications. "Until now, we find ourselves confined once more, but this time not due to the speed of communication but rather the availability of the same electrical waves," said Anninger. "The great demand for communications in the world is leading industry again to science because our present means of transmission is carrying just about all the traffic that they can bear, " he said. The announcement of the laser beam in 1960 has given the communications field a potential pool by which it can win the battle of the air waves. "Theoretically a single laser beam can simultaneously carry all the telephone, the data, and television transmission being tran itted in the world. This then is the omise of the communication industry. owever a lot of problems have to be ercome.

Dental ·Students Gain Results By Barbara Page " I•ve received six different job offers and I haven 't even graduated yet," said Mary Brumm, student in the Dental Assisting program at San Jose City College. Mary will receive her certification from the State Board of Dental Examiners this June when she receives her AA in Dental Assisting. "What g ood is a philosophy major if there is no demand? ", she asked. "In this field I'll always be able to find a job, and my training opens up many other interesting career possibilities for me as well," s he added . The Dental Assisting program, open to both men and women, is fully accredited by the American Dental Association and the American Dental Assistants ' Association. Admission to the program is dependent on submission of a Dental Assisting application in addition to the college admission forms. You may apply if you are a high school graduate, or 18 years of age-or older. The program includes all general
education classes necessary for the Associate in Arts degree,. ~s well as classes teaching the scientlflC concep,ts of dentistry. In the final semester of th~ p~ogram s tudent training is put to practice m lo~al dental offices where th~y receiv_e supervision in clinical expenence.

Department, student job placement is excellent. "As far as I know, no student who graduated from the department has ever had trouble finding a position," she said. The department stresses the fact that the best jobs in any career field are usually won by those who have the most preparation for the occupation. In addition to the technical skill required to be a dental assistant, qualifications should include such personal traits as dependability, poise, self - control , patience, a pleasant pers onality and a sincere interest in others . Mary feels that the most important thing when looking for a job is to set your standards high and show confidence. "Of course, it's absolutely necessary to know your job," she added.

Bi ke Rules Re jec ted Two weeks ago the Student Council defeated a proposal submitted by Richard Phillips, Head of Secutity at SJCC. The proposal called for a series of laws involving bicycles on our campus. The plan provided for the following: . City College would assume no responsibility for the damage or theft of any bicycle, or bike - related injuries. ! The college would have the right to remove any bicycle left on school grounds over 24 hours. ; Bicycles would be parked in authorized bike racks only. - Bicycles would not be operated on or across pedestrian walkways or any other areas on campus not designated for vehicular traffic. .

i The recent "stop and search" Zebra
ij.mt involving the questioning of young San Francisco Blackmen by police offrcials suggested the use of police state tactics. Mass protest by concerned citizens plus civil suits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union <ACLU) and the National Association for Advancement of Colored People <NAACP) led Federal District Judge Alfred Zirpoli to issue a court order halting stop and search procedures against black male citizens. The implement ing of this plan by vested interests of city authorities, not in conjunction with the leaders of the Black masses which it has affected, only proves that the human relations office of the police departmen t were not truly searching for a humane means of upholding human dignity for all citizen5. It further shows how the recent Supreme Court decision to support atop and search procedures can be applied to cause chaos and general confusion among the Black men of our society. The Black community as a whole suffering colonized tactics of a police state behind this latest police action. All Black organizations in the San Francisco area should have been notified in advance before the implementation of a plan of this nature. A feasible solution as to how to proceed might have been offered by the Black community of San Francisco, a solution which might have helped catch the killer or killers without harrassing innocent young Black men. Civilian reserve police were not used In the ZOdiac cases considering the radio of young white men in comparison to the young Black population in San Francisco. Nor were Whites required to carry identification cards. How long will black men be required to carry these check point cards, which heavily compares with procedures used in racist South Africa? A city administration is no more ef. fective then the community it serves. It would seem to be the time for all community organization to form a multi • racial committee to review present policies of the administrat ion which subjects innocent citizens to such outrageous treatment. Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure is too valuable a human right to be infringed upon . Election year seemingly caused a few politicians to hastily adopt "law and or_der" measures.
than an authorized bike rac.k, authorities may impound the vehicle. Violators may . be cited under authority of Campus Security or members of the SJCC Law Enforceme nt Departmen t. Violators will be cited under a San Jose statute listed in the California vehicle code. The installation of this plan would be preceded by an instruction al campaign. A citation for a violation would not be mandatory . A system like the one used for automobile parking would be employed, with some provisions for warnings. Phillips estimates the number of bicycles on campus at around five hundred. With the energy crisis wearing on and the warmer weather still ahead, the ranks of bike riders should continue to swell. The Student Council rejected the proposal because they felt the campus does not have adequate facilities to implement such a plan. The Times agrees with the Student Council. The present racks offer no protection from the elements. What student is going to leave a $150 bicycle out in the rain? This is why we find bicycles in the buildings. Bicycles at SJCC are also very vulnerable to theft. The location of the bike racks, in rather remote areas of the campus, affords the worried owner little comfort. This is why bicycles are chained to trees, or outside classrooms . Phillips' proposal is sensible and necessary, but it will be practical only when SJCC has safe, sheltered bike racks placed throughout the campus. We urge the District to provide these racks and the Student Council to swiftly accept Phillips' proposal when they are provided.

By Dr. Theodore Murguia
President of SJCC As I speak to faculty and students on campus and to interested parties off campus, I am frequently asked what will happen to San Jose City College in light of the effects of the new Evergreen campus. The change from a one campus district to a multi - campus district will call for changes which will have a significant impact on personnel, on ,e ducational programs and s tudents, and on the physical condition of the campus.
..._ - - ..r--
The College and District Ad· ministratio n and the Faculty Senate are currently working on a staffing and transfer policy which will safeguard the interests of the faculty and the educationa l integrity of both campuses. The number of faculty that will transfer to Evergreen is not certain at this time, but it appears now that about 40% of the current San Jose City College faculty will move to Evergreen. At this time, it is - unlikely that San Jose City College will have any new faculty in the Fall of 1975. However, fall and spring enrollment s may cause a change in our predictions . We are embarking on an outreach program in the high schools this spring and in the community, as a whole, in the summer. I personally feel that our enrollment s will be up next year.

Ke nt Blo odb ath In Ret ros pec t By Laurie Slothower Four years ago tomorrow, 28 National Guardsmen peppered a crowd of rock throwing students with 51 steel · acketed, high ·velocity rifle bullets that eft four dead, nine injured and put an obscure Ohio campus in the headlines for months. Kent State · the name has become the Alamo for a generation of war protestors. A county grand jury investigat ion exonerated the Guardsmen and indicted 25 students on charges of riot in the firstsecond· and third · degrees . All but two were eventually cleared.

Last month, as an ironic anniversary present, eight National Guardsmen were rndlcted by a federal grand jury which had re • opened the case. What happened on that sunny spring day at Kent State, a previously peaceful campus of 21,000 located in the rolling green hills of northeaste rn Ohio? Why did it happen? In April, 1970, President Nixon announced the American incursion into Cambodia without having Congressional approval. Radical groups were calling for an end to ROTC programs on campus. There were demonstrat ions at Kent State's neighboring Ohio State University. The University of California at Berkeley • nicknamed Berserkly - was the scene of trashing and cop · baiting. May, 1970, was the month that m?re than 200 constructio n workers bearmg American flags and lead pipes clashed with student demonstra tors , sending at least 20 students to the hospital.

some beery unruly students enjoying the warm evening. A bottle crashed through the auto's window , and with the sound of tinkling glass the riot was on. Students shattered windows, lit fires, and threw bottles. Saturday night the school's rickety ROTC building went up in flames at a protest meeting. The melee was more than Kent's 21 man police force could handle . Saturday Governor James Rhodes, in the midst of a campaign for the Senate, summoned the National Guard. That night 500 National Guardsmen , weary from three days of policing a local Teamsters strike, arrived at the school as the ROTC building smoldered in the background . " The sky was all Jlt up," r called Guardsman Mike Delaney. "It was like a scene from 'Gone With the Wind' with Atlanta burnin~." Sunday mornmg co - eds put flowers in the Guardsmen 's rifle barrels, but Sunday evening was pure violence. The sky was alit with gasoline - doused trees and 500 students staged a sit - down strike in one of the citys' busiest intersection s in defiance of a curfew. Helmented Guardsmen with tear gas and bayonets fought rock - throwing, obscenity • spewing students on the campus of Ohio's second largest institution of higher learning. Monday the crisis seemed past. A noon rally had been scheduled but was banned by Gov. Rhodes. A few disgruntled radicals rang the Victory Bell . A crowd of 600 gathered. In moved the Guard. "Evacuate the Commons, " blared the bullhorns . "You have no right to be here. " Students watched, jeering. Middle fingers were raised. The Guard formed skirmish lines, and were greeted· by rocks and pieces of concrete slag. Tear gas split the crowd. One hundred Guardsmen pursued the eddying mob between two buildings down a grassy knoll, then abruptly retreated when they discovered tpey were out of tear gas, hopelessly outnumbered, and facing a fence. Flanked by 1000 students, mostly onlookers, the troops went back up the hill. Some of the crowd ragged the Guard, like a pup nipping at a bear ; throwing rocks which rarely hit the Guardsmen . " They're KilJing Us" Then the bear attacked. At the top of the hill the soldiers suddenly turned, took aim and fired. A thin fusillage of 51 M-1 rifle bullets, spanning a period of 14 seconds, pierced the crowd. First, a brief silence, then the screams : "They' re blanks ; they 're shooting blanks! " insisted one student. "Oh my God, they 'r e killing us!" cried another. A Guardsman fell to the ground moaning, "I just shot two teenagers !" The N.Y. Times wrote, "The youths stood stunned, many of them clustered in small groups, staring at the bodies. A young man cradled one of the bleeding forms in his arms. Several girls began to cry. But many of the students seemed too s tunned to react. " The final toll : four dead, nine wounded . The s lain students - William Schroeder, 19; Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20 ; Jeffrey Glenn Miller, ~ ; Allison Krause , 19 • were neither protest lea ders nor
radicals. The voice of student dissent has quieted now, perhaps muted by maturation or maybe choked silent by tear gas. Streaking draws the crowds that anti· war rallies used to bring. Last year, at the anniversar y demonstrat ion of the shootings, only 65 of Kent's 21,000 students appeared . But eight former Guardsmen , now under indictment, won't forget it. Dean Kahle, the "fifth victim', won't forget as he is permanent ly confined to a wheelchair . And, there are four sets of parents who will never forget May 4, 1970.
The Evergreen campus with its new facilities , its new administr ative structure, and interdiscip linary cluster concept will certainly attract many in· terested San Jose City College faculty to the new campus. By the same token, a number of faculty have indicated a willingness to remain on this campus. The faculty of San Jose City Coll::ge, working closely with their new deans, will have an opportunity to strengthen existing programs and develop new ones that will attract, retain, and graduate students . This will be a real challenge to the faculty and administration of this College. A Ten - Year Master Plan for renovation and for new constructio n at San Jose City College has been approved. Phillip Mowry, District Architect, is currently working with two committees , one to implement the Master Plan and one to develop an aesthetical ly pleasing landscape. The faculty and administrat ion of San Jose City College and the District Superinten dent and his staff have been very cooperativ e with respect to the things that I have attempted to do at the college. Because of this, I am confident that support will be forthcoming to help
San Jose City College grow in quantity of instruction and provement of the physical plant.

Has Th em A ll Pi ck A Clich e, An y Cliche. ... ~Billy la ck '
By Stephen Abney " Billy Jack " is the most over pr?moted home movie in cinema history . Amateuri sm pervades all aspects of the film . Although the lack of slick, Hollywoo d polish is sometim es refreshin g, the film 's inability to establish tone and control finally reduce it to a series of disconnected episodes and adolescen t cliches. Like a greasy submarin e sandwich, "Billy Jack" has everythin g thrown in. Gobs of sentimen t, slices of violence, a smearing of sex stuffed between thin, tasteless layers of narrative nonsense. The film incorpora tes senstation al visual sequences such as karate bouts, sadistic sexual assaults, shoot - outs, and gory Indian rituals into a leaky plot which is supposed to be socially significan t. . The screenpla y demonstr ates a comic book mentality reducing character s into · demeanin g or exaggera ted stereotyp es and strings together scenes which are completely irrelevan t to any narrative progressi on. " Billy Jack" is another in the genre of psuedo - message flicks. Its message is a plea for peace, brotherhood, and understandi ng. Yet the film's her,o is a psychotic karate killer who defends the lives, honor, and property of an experiment al school or an Indian reservation located somewhere in the Southwest. As a characte r, Billy Jack is never real enough to be taken literally, nor

His main argument against progress is Tony Lumpkin, his wife's son by a previous marriage . Tony is a carefree mischievous trickster who spends hi~ every moment in search of new fun, usually at the expense of his stepfathe r's prompous air. Hardcastle sees Tony as a prime example of the effects of lax discipline and dismisses any hope for the future world whenever the boy is present. The only hint of sanity that Hardcast le can see among all this modern confusion is his daughter, Kate. She is a lovely, blossoming girl who has reached the age of marriage . As befits his daughter , Hardcastle chooses the son of an old friend as Kate's prospective husband. This young gentlemen, Marlow, seems to possess all the qualities of a perfect husband: secure future, bravery generosi ty, understa nding and good looks. Kate is overcome with joy until she learns that it was Marlow's modesty that first caught her father's eye. Kate wants no modest lover.
In desperation she confides in Constance Neville. Constance, Lady Hardcastle's niece and ward, informs Kate that Marlow is the constant companion of her own secret lover, Hastings. Constance further explains that Marlow's lny. reputation for modesty disappea rs when und silly?

bloody, painful journey to enlightenment and peace. One of the ironic absurdities in "Billy Jack" is the disgusting portrayal of the only real Indian in the film. Martin is the only real native American we see in a school which is located in the middle of a reservation. I really thought it was utterly tasteless to make Billy Jack, supposedly a half - breed but an obvious Angelo, the super hero and present Martin as a pathetic schmucck . Poor Martin, he is beaten up, humiliated, kidnaped, and finally murdered . He comes across as a weakling and a loser

romantic enough to be a symbol in a fable (like Clint Eastwood in Sergio Leone's • mythic westerns). The unbelievable bad guys are so incredibly inept that Billy Jack just keeps tripping over them attemptin g one foul crime after another. But to add a little suspense and spice to the cartoon strip, he lets them get away with a little mischief (murder and rape) . This allows him to feel fully justified and self righteous when he chops them up. As I said, its a movie with a basic peace and love message. The school, where most of the action takes place, is supposed to be for misfits, delinquents, and reservation Indians. But once these troubled youngster s get to the ranch, they become fantastically creative and hard working. The only thing I can think of which would account for this unexplained transformation is that Billy Jack probably gives them one of his patented karate demonstrations guarantee d to reduce any evil to a whimpering pulp or remorseful pain. I say this because Billy Jack's response to every problem he encounters is the same -- beat it to death. Billy Jack is a man of extrasensory perceptions. iron will, and invincible strength. Where does he derive his powers? Believe it or not, Billy Jack is an Indian holy man. To establish his identity as a bonafide mystic, he goes through a magic macho ritual in which he allows a rattlesnak e to bite him seven times. It's a

Becker 's SJCC's Mighty Infield er By Monroe Schacht For the City College baseball team it's been a tough year: disappointing at times, exciting at others. When the hitting wasn't good enough, the pitching was and when the pitching wasn't good enough to win the hitting was. They could never seem to get it all together. Curt Becker, infielder on this years' team has shared in what success the team has had. The Jags, buried close to the bottom in the Conference with an overall 6-14 as of last weekend , have had some success, as the Jag - Viking Baseball Tournament showed, taking second place to Chabot. Infielder Curt Becker when asked what the problem might be, said, "I feel we're just pressing; just trying too hard. We all want to win and play our best, naturally", he continued , ··usually when you 're not winning dissension erupts, players don't get along, but that's not the case on this team. We don' t have any problems. " Becker positioned this season at second, th ird, and shortstop, feels there is quite a difference in, not only his attitude. hut his overall play. Statistics prove that as the little 5'5" sophomore who graduated from Willow Glen high in 1972, can show, he batted a meager .177 last year, and even thouggh his batting average has dropped from a high of .351, he's optomistic about breaking out of his slump. Becker, who has been compared to Kansas City Royals' shortstop, Fred Patek, is realistic as far as a career in baseball is concerned. He will tell you the chances aren't great, especially because of his size . Curl, a Radio- TV major with hopes of someday getting into play - by - play sports broadcasting, is hoping to go to Santa Clara University on an Athletic Scholarship. The mission school, always has been a contender inits conference. Curt feels the main difference between this year and last is the overall notion that, even though he has been platooned because of his defensive mistakes , he knows he 'll be in the lineup. He credits everything he has achieved on the positive side to listening to the coach more closely. " I have seen a 100 per cent improvement in his attitude and his all around ability on the field ," Coach John Oldham said. Becker feels the need to work on his defensive play in the infield, as well as his speed. He says a 4.2 to first, is too slow, and wiU need working on.
When asked about hitting, which he's had much success at this season, he'll tell you 90 per cent of it is mental attitude. Becker who likes shortstop the best of any position, is he's a pull hitter who particularly likes to hit the fastball or curveball, on a 2-o or 3-1 count, a little on the outside. For the smallest guy on the team the next question might be where does he get his power. For him it's his upper body. In his case size, which has always prevented some individuals from goirig out for a sport, ma y not be the dilference. As for his future, he'll just have to wait and see.

Women Whip De Anza City's women's softball team won one and lost one in their last series. Contra Costa beat the women -Jags 22 - 16 and the San Jose team came back to beat DeAnza 16 - 4. The game against Contra Costa was played through rain and sunshine and lasted three and a half hours . Pitcher Delores Johnson, tired going into the sixth inning, walked 16 players while only giving up seven hits to the team from Concord. Susan Leonti hit three homeruns, bringing in nine RBI's in the Contra Costa game.
The game against DeAnza was played in Cupertino, in the middle of a football field . "This DeAnza game was our best game thus far this season. We were more consistent in all parts of the game : defense, offense and pitching," said Coach Evonne Davenport. Patti Lindh hit a homerun with four RBI's at DeAnza, while Susan Leonti hit a triple with two RBI's. Other RBI's of the game were: Sandy Stephenson, 2, and one each from Lynn Hohler, Kathy Greco, Robin Bell, Linda White, and Delores ~ohnson.
Golf Team Places Sixth
By i\lonroe Schacht The San Jose City College Golf Team, impressing onlookers by posting a sixth place overall finish in the 7th annual Stanford Invitiational Golf Tournament this past weekend, beating such major schools as UCLA and UC - Berkeley . The Junior Colleges which were placed for the fi rst time since the inception in a JC division rather than an overall standing, showed something to the big schools in attendance, at Stanford Country Club. The finest and most watched threesome the final day of a tourney that seen three of four junior colleges entered make the cut as well as 16 of 26 four year schools make it, was the last one. With over 125 people looking intensely on through 75 degree weather , the pressure mounted to a climax. Dave Baskins, (the overall Individual Champion ), from host Stanford, Craig Stadler, the number one U.S . Amateur in the country, from U.S.C., and who just participated in the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia ; and City 's Armando Claudio, only 18 years ld, who just last June graduated from Samuel Ayer, where he broke all kinds of records battling it out for the individual championship. Claudio and Baskins had tied after 36 holes with 2 over par 144 totals, as Armando last Friday, charged from three
strokes off the pace, to pull in with a one tournament, Dow went on. " Although it didn't look like the effort over par for the day 72, climaxing it with a 10 foot bridie putt on the last hole. totally was a team one, it was. Freshman Cia udio, lucky he didn 't have to battle the fine birdie of between 15 - 20 feet at the heavy rains in the morning, found tough, par 4, 395 yard ninth hole. He a lso himself with a late afternoon tee - off, got one more birdie at the 15th, a tough par four 361 yard hole, with another fine playing in beautiful sunshine. With the pressure mouting as third and putt of about 8 feet. final days ' action began, and knowing Golf Coach Harley Dow was very before his 12:15 tee- off, City had taken happy with Claudio's overall play, and first place, in JC competition, Claudio felt his final round was just an off day for hoped to just play his game, and not try the little guy. Dow said, " I feel in all to worry about what his opponents were respect he'll be a great one in time to doing, but as the first couple of holes, come". "I hope he's not discouraged, showed it wasn' t to be his day, turning in because I wasn't," he went on. Dow felt a rough 78 for a still fine 222 total, and a . just getting the chance to get out there tie for seventh overall. with other individuals from four year Claudio, who finally got his game schools has got to help. together on the back nine, shooting 37, " I feel this tournament will ' give after a tough 41 , showed his opponents' something after knowing there was no confidence to the team, and will act as a chance for a first place finish, made a springboard to next Mondays' GGC
-~P-orts fare Baseb all In RevieV I By DaveGoll Thou2h 1974 has oroved unsuccessful for repeating champions, (just ask the UCLA Bruins, the Montreal Canadians and the New York Knicks) this season will most likely provide few surprises on the baseball diamond . Baltimore's Orioles were seemingly constructing one of baseball's greatest dynasties after consecutive American League pennants in 1969, 1970 and 1971. That is, until they fell flat in 1972, or as flat as the Birds are going to get (third place), But new faces have blended with old to spark another winning combination on the shores of Chesapeake Bay. The 1973 Eastern Division title flag soars high over Memorial Stadium, and chances are it will be joined by its '74 partner come September. One of the many pluses in Baltimore's favor is an outstanding outfield. An outfield blessed with speed and hitting ability. '73's Rookie of the Year, AI Bumbry, joins the talented vet Paul Blair and scrappy Rich Coggins in roaming the far reaches of Birdland. Jim Fuller, being elevated this year from Rochester , may add some much needed power hitting. Fuller was the MVP in the International League last year; 39 home runs, 108 RBI's, and a .247 average. A solid infield of Brooks Robinson , Mark Belanger , Bobby Grich and Boog Powell offers top - notch fielding, though a little lacking in the offensive department. Pitching is not up to the standard of the glory days a few years back, but is anything but hurting . The starting rotation should feature Cy Young Award winner, Jim Palmer (22-9 ), and three southpaws: Ross Grimsly from the Reds, Mike Cuellar and Dave McNally. The latter two perhaps capable of 20 wins in '74. Boston should give the O's their stiffest challenge. The Bosox went willingly to the trade mart the past winter and returned with ·an excellent hurling corp. New acquisitions include Rick Wise, Reggie Cleveland, Dick Drago, and former Giant Juan Marichal. Along with Luis Tiant and Bill Lee, established starters, pitching is a bright spot for the Beantowners. Hitting isn't suffering either. It may be going out on a limb, but Milwaukee's surprising Brewers have a good shot at third, and I won't be the one to burst their bubble. The hitting department is healthy, the pitching .above average. Age is the same, old minus for the Tigers, while several members of the Shea Stadium Yankees aren't growing any younger . The Cleveland Indians are still living in 1948. The NL East The trouble in this neck of the woods may be trying t~find someone who wants to win the division crown, just as in 1973. Can the Mets stumble through the back door again? Perhaps. Anytime you win the NL pennant in a year when the top hitter on your club swats at a meager .290 clip, you know lady luck is smiling on you. Or maybe you have a great pitching staff. The New Yorkers success last
season was a combination of both. But luck eventually runs dry. The Mets do have to contend with a "bunch" of other clubs, the way the whole gang should remain throughout the year. No team can conceivably be a clear - cut favorite. The Pittsburgh Pirates have power but a rather decimated hurling staff. St. Louis is really only " adequate" on both counts. The Phillies and Cubs could spent most of the summer fighting the inexperience of their youngsters; the latter team almost building an entirely new line - up after the trade winds of winter devasted Wrigley Field. That leaves one little Indian, the Montreal Expos. Gene Mauch, unlikable, but still one of the most vital baseball minds around, is molding a budding champion up in Quebec. Despite the loss of ace - reliever Mike Marshall to LA, newly arrived Willie Davis should win almost as many games for the Expos as Marshall did last year. He joins the talented outfield of Ken Singleton and Mike Jorgenson. The pitching staff, featuring Steve Rogers and Steve Ren,ko is probably the second best in the NL East. Look for a divisional title this fall in the Northland. Baseball's 'Cream' Division Even though the National League West is most assuredly the strongest in the divisional system, the Cincinnati Reds have copped three Western championships in five seasons. In examining the so-called "Big Red Machine", there is no reason why a fourth flag should not be at the end of the '74 rainbow for Cincy. On paper, they are quite impressive. MVP Pete Rose in left, Cesar Geronimo and George Foster jockeying in center, and newly - acquired Merv Rettenmund and speedy Ken Griffey exchanging duties out in right field. The infield sparkles with Tony Perez holding down first, dazzling Joe Morgan at second, Dave Concepcion at shortstop and the young sensation Dan Driessen over at third. The top infield in the National League. P itching will pose few problems. Sparky Anderson's premier performers include two ex - Padres Fred Norman and Clay Kirby, Don Gullet, and Jack Billingham, 19-10 in '73. Pedro Borbon and Clay Carroll will hold up their en~ in the bullpen. Los Angeles and Houston will 'undoubtedly have a bit to say about a Redleg repeat. The burgeoning young Dodgers possess more than their share of mound talent; Tommy John, Andy Messersmith, Don Sutton, AI Downing, Mike Marshall, etc. Youngsters, the likes of Bill Russell, Ron Cey, Bill Buckner, and Dave Lopes, have proven their fielding as well as hitting ability. If anyone replaces the Reds this year, its an odds - on chance it will be LA. The Astros, under new skipper Preston Gomez, have their share of power. Outfielders Cesar Cedano and BoQ Watson batted over .300 last season, with 25 and 16 homers , respectively. Lee May, first baseman belted 28, with 105 RBI's and a .270 average. It's hard to ignore the Giants, dripping richly with young ability. But the San Francisco hurling, or lack of it, is bound to seal the Giants' fate well before playoff time. San Diego is definitely one of the more improved squads in the major leagues, but serious consideration is a couple of years and pitchers away. Unless Atlanta pulls off a much- needed miracle, Braves fans will spend the remainder of 1974 counting Hank Aaron 's blasts. The Times foresees the October match -ups as Baltimore vs. Oakland (one more time) in the AL, while Cincinnati and Montreal should fight it out in the senior circuit. Hopefully, 1974 will provide us with a bit more variety than this.

Arena Editor: In your March 29 issue The Times ran an open letter from the Arena committee. I think a little research on you part might have tempered the all out sales job of the article you print~d. I certainly do not quarrel w1th the concept of the Arena co~mittee . A,n informational pamphlet on City College s instructors would be very valuable, and becomes almost a necessity as our campus and class list continues to grow. · What I do not approve of is the manner in which the survey was conducted. Primarily what irked me was the leading manner in which some of the questions were phrased. An example would be " Have you ever been made to feel inferior by a teacher ... ?" This type of questioning is loaded and undermines the legitimacy of such a survey. The program is too important to allow it to be mishandled so that some students can have themselves a fine time ripping teachers. What is needed is an objective, comprehensive look at our fac~lty. (_)nly if the survey is complete and mtelllgent w1ll the results be a usefaul aid in determining class selection. Teri DeBoever student
