Opinion

Editorials

Let's get back to the draft By Richard Medugno I am worried about the armed forces . I'm especially worried about the U.S. Marin~s, purportedly the best military outfit m the world, who are looking for just "A Few Good Men." Well, after reading headlines on local papers I think they're finding only a few good men. The following incidents are related with Camp Pendleton alone: Marine charged with rape; Two A.W.O.L. marines cut themselves with razor blades hundreds of times and prefabricate an alibi to avoid punishment· Two marines disrupt a retirement cere~ony by wearing cones and white sheets· Marine starts high school free-for-all; 'and a black woman marine is murdered because of her relationships with white marines. It's painfully obvious that the volunteer service is not working. Many of those who enlist are doing it for one reason and one r eason only: money. Oh, sure there are a "few good men" who join for other reasons like pride, patriotism and the valuable training they can get but a lot ar e just in it for the money. Mon ey draws "creeps" like the ice cream truck draws kids. There are many " fl a kes" a nd " losers" in the armed services no w, and as the headlines reveal the service is h aving a h ard time con: trolling th em. They could get rid of these people exce pt there is no one to replace them.

I really believe we should go back to the draft or some form of requirement for y~m:g adults to serve their country for a mmrmum of two years. I don't think it's too much to ask of a citizen. If the whole nation ~ere involved in the military at some pomt or another I think it would change the character of the whole military outlook. If a program was set up so that as soon as one graduated from high school and had no further plans for education they whould, put in two years, then they wouldn t be barraged by high-pressure recruiters. And if one had plans for college they could have five years to gra~uate , and then they would go into the serVIce for two years doing something related to their major. This would enable them to get on-the-job experience and when their stint was up they cou'ld go back to school or go right into private business. It's naive tothinkthatthe U.S. won't be at war or in battle again by sometime in the 1980's. And_ the weaker our military gets the more hkely and the earlier the chanc~ s we will be back fi ghting. Enem1es read the papers too. I sincerely hope the people of this cour;ttry and the U .S. Congress will soon reahze the need for required service by everyone, so the nation can avoid war a s much a s possible and so the military can once agam be an honorable institution.

Bubble gum vendetta ends with vengeance By R ich ard Medugno Leon Hers hn agel. Leon Hershn agel. Th at name haunted me for years. Oh, what a vile perso n h e was. Wh en ever I was feeling down a nd out and things weren't goin g

SATIRE righ t I knew the blame rested with one, Leon Hershn agel. And that is wh y I had to settle this personal ven detta wi th him . It all goes back several years ago, when I was a wee tot in seventh grade a t Grant J uni or High . Leon Hers hn agel was in eigh th grade. Leon a n d I h a d thi rd period PE together. I can 't say we were frie n ds or acq uain tances, nor would I wa n t to, but we h ad lockers that were in th e same h a ll way. I still remem ber t he locker number s. Mine was 680 a~ d Leon 's was 684 , his being a hi gher number meant tha t his locker was above min e. Leon a nd I h a d gotten a lon g pretty well , es peciall y considering tha t we ne ver sai d an ything to each o th er. Wh e n e ver h e wa nted so mething out of his locker I would quickly ~tep out of the way: (1) Because It was the polite thing to do and (2) h e was a bout a foo t wider a nd tall er th a n I. But thi s calm between the two of us would soon end on on e fa teful day tha t would m a ke me curse the n a me Leon Hers hn agel fo r m a n y years afterward. I rem em her it well. Leon walked into the roo m like a rhinestone cowbo y. There were ~ bout fifty of us young lads ja mmed m to the ha ll ways of the PE room a ll tryin g to put on our gy m clothe~ as fa st as possibl e. I was bent over tyin g th e sh oe laces of my beat-up ten nis shoes when sudd enly a pi ece of g um hit th e f1 oor n ot a foo t away from me. I loo ked up to see th a t Leon was fo ldin g hi s pa nts to pu t in hi s locker . Th ~ g um h ad fall en from his pocket. Qui c kl y, Leo n r ea li zed wh at ha ppen ed, as I returned to tie my shoe. Out of the co rn er of my eye I

saw a h and come out of a mass of bodies and it picked up the gum and disappear with it. I really di d n't think mu ch of it. I had always believed in the old r ule· "Finders kee pers, losers weepers.'; Leon as ked me, "Hey, where 's my gum ?" I, bein g as sh arp as cheese said, "I don't kn ow." " Where is it ? I just dropped it. Did yo u pi ck it up?", he asked menacingly. "No," I said th rough my chattering teeth . Leo!! became angry at th e th ought th at h1s fallen g um had been swiped a nd was now probably A.B.C. g um (Already Bei n g Ch ewed). So l guess m his deformed sense of justice h e decided to take it out on me . "If yo u don 't give me that g um bac k I'm gonna punch yo u in the mouth ." I replied, "I don't have it. So me h a nd ca me out ofthi s mass of bodies an d too k it." Leon then proceeded to hit me with his ha nd fro m his massi ve bo dy. At least he was a man of hi s word , beca use he did hi t me in the mouth . I bega n to cry because I was a n gry a n d, well , the pun ch hurt too . But I was reall y a n gry an d I said to the big jerk , " Here's a pen ny , go buy yourself another piece of gum and blow yo urself- - -all th e bubb les you want. " . He la ughed, ta kin g great pleas ure m the fac t th a t I didn 't hit him bac k. I did the s ma rt thin g. Ifl wou ld have hi t him , he wo ul d h ave hi t me again a nd the nex t thin g yo u know, I would have a wa ken ed dead stuffed in my own PE lo cker , 680. Th a t day I walked h ome fro m sch oo l sadisticall y thinki ng of ways for Leon Hersh n agel to die. I wanted to decapitate him a n d use hi s head for a J ac k-O- Lantern on Ha ll oween . I wan ted to dis member him an d use hi s limbs to decora te my Christmas tree. I wan ted to tie him down on a street in Pasa den a on New Year 's ~ay . But those were too good for him. I fin a ll y came up with th e perfec t death for Leon Hers hn agel. I wo ul d tie him do wn a nd ma ke him ea t 40 ,000 pi eces of bubbl e gum a nd th en I wo uld get a n air hosE' a nd fill him u p wi th helium gas un til he was a giga ntic bubbl e g um bu bb le.

Confro ntin g him I said, "Leon, buddy, I hate to see you go. C-:vod lu ck in the future, brother." I shook his hand affection ately and began to walk away , but as soon as Leon turned around , I strategically placed the gum I had next to hi s foot. Oh, joyful, sweet vengeance. I watched for three utterly sensatio na l hours as Leon slipped, skipped, and tripped whi le trying to get the sticky stuff off his shoes. There are two morals to this story: (1) Never turn your back on someo~e yo u punched in the mouth four years earlier and (2) Don't worry about fallen gum, because it might haunt you in years to come.

She vetoed it immediately and told me what she had said to my father the day I was born, " He;ven forbid , that I cou ld have such a morbid kid." So I bided mytimeand waited and waited.

Question: Sidney, when did you start playing basketball? Wicks: Like almost everyone who grew up in the ghetto, I started playing ball when I was real young. My brother was very helpful and always insisted thatifl wanted to be a professional, I must work hard. My brother is an excellent person. We both went to Santa Monica Junior College together.

really helped me to refine my game, which allowed me to be picked second in the NBA draft. I played with the Portland Trailblazers and the Boston Celtics before San Diego.

Question: While you were attending Santa Monica what cemented your motives to achieve excellence? Wicks: One thing was my wanting to go further than junior college. I told myself, "Look, Sidney, you can play basketball." So my next step was to attend a major four-year university. I was not going to let this opportunity pass me by. Therefore, I worked as hard as I could to perfect my basketball playing abilities. Question : Were you a Physical Education major? Wicks: No! I majored in sociology. You see, I came from the ghetto, and now I am dealing with people from other social and eco nomic backgrounds. Sociology, in my opinion, is a good foundation and rend ers a solid background reference. When I received my degree from UCLA, that was really out of sight, because a degree of any type requires hard work.

By Ch arlie Hall High jumper Mike Johnson , led a sparce array of Co met tracksters at th e Mission Conference last Friday at Citrus College. Johnson leaped a lifetime best of 6'7" to be the sole Comet to take first place honors at the relays, which was considered a non-scoring meet. "It's just a get together in the con ference," remarked h ead coach Doc Marrin , in reference to the relays. "It's sort of a practice m eet. No meda ls were given out just color photos to th e winners a nd the winning (relay) teams ." In second place was the four mile relay team of John Tuttle, Steve Binns , Dave Cook, and Oscar Cobos. The relay , missing two of its regul a rs, lost to the Saddleback College team, who according to Marrin, "Looks far and above the strongest team in the conference ." The onl y other athlete to place was shot putter John McFadden who took third place. McFadden, who h as been idle from the JC tra ck scen e for the past five years, placed with a toss of 44 ' 8". Missing from the conferen ce relays, to compete in last Friday night's Jack-in-the-Box Invitational at the Sports Arena, were Mark Smith, Kent Cox, Joe Wallace, and Steve DeLong. They formed a relay team, which finished fourth with a time of 3:31.3. "There were a lot of people out," said Marrin , who elected to go with many of his inexperienced performers in last Friday 's relay. "We're gettin g ready for San Diego City this Friday (today)." San Diego City College, who made a fair showi ng last week, defeated Santa Anna an d Chaffey rather handly in an earlier tri-meet. "Nobody knows about the people at the relays," contended Marrin abo ut the overall competition. "There was just some insights. We won 't know how we stand 'til th e results come out this week.

Wicks : A positive basketball player should attend a ma}or college. I personally, do not think that a low-rated school will directly lead into the pros like a major college would. But most important, you must attend your classes and maintain an above average grade point. You see, your athletic ability may allow you to get into a major university. However, bad grades will not allow you to stay there.
