Emotions ran high at the public hearing for Senate Bill 100 last week. Bill Nicholson, left, was one of many directing questions to Student Body President David Starrett, right, and the Student Senate. —Photos by Maureen Murrin.

Forensics wins locals; regional®, nationals next

By Nancy Besore

Isn’t anybody going to Nationals? Yes, the CD Forensics team is. And the team is really looking forward to the tournament. Excitement is high due to the team’s superlative performance at the two recent state meets held last weekend.

The two state tournaments were the 1977 Illinois Intercollegiate Forensics Association Tournament held at Bradley University March 3 and 4 and the Illinois State Community College Forensics Tournament at Parkland College in Champaign March 4-5.

In discussing the two meets James Collie, adviser, says, “In Forensics we compete against major 4-year schools as well as with two-year. This is much like competition faced by CD’s sports team. That's the kind of competition we face regularly. This is my sixth year here and in that time we have never taken less than 2nd at junior college state and we’ve never been out of the top 10 nationally.

“This year, in one weekend we go to two tournaments — one against the best 4-year schools in the state — and place third in the 4-year competition and sweep first at the two-year. I say sweep because we won by such a large margin. We had 71 points and Illinois Central, the closest team to us, ended up with 42 points.”

At the two-year tournament the team placed four people into the top five in¬ dividual performance positions. Chris Hayden won first in the individual sweepstakes and tied for second place

were Dave Pastore, Gordon Boos and Kevin Mumane. At this tournament the team placed a finalist in each event. Everybody on the squad broke into the final rounds in at least one event.

Paula Trtol’s Reader’s Theatre “Primal Scream” involving team members Paula Trtol, Cindy Parpart, Carol Douglas, John Hutson, Dave Pastore, and Chris Hayden won first place. Other individual places are just too numerous to list. The team really reached their peak that weekend.

Collie, in speaking of the fine per¬ formance of the team at the meets, states, “Everything jelled. This was probably the high point of this year’s season, but taking fourth at I.S.U., second at Stout and third at Whitewater were certainly tremendous accomplishments for a junior college to pull off. In the meet at Highland, which was also a 4-year meet I.S.U. was the only team that beat us.”

At the four-year state meet the team beat out such four-year schools as Bradley Univ., Wheaton College and Eastern II. Univ. They lost only to I.S.U. and Nor¬ thern. In talking about coming up against such fine competitors Collie stresses the analogy between the type of schools en¬ countered in Forensics and that which those involved in CD intercollegiate sports face. He claims that, “Our meeting the best four-year teams in the state week in and week out is a lot like the College basketball team’s coming up against such stiff competition each week. We have

Revision of SB 100 finally makes the grade

By Gary Swanson After a month of boisterous public

hearings, ultimatums from student ac¬ tivities advisers, amendments, com¬ promises, and high emotions on the part of all concerned, Senate Bill 100 was passed by the Student Senate last Thursday.

The embattled bill originally would have turned authority for making all student activity expenditures over to students involved in each of the activity areas. However, under pressure from students from performing arts, the bill was amended to leave that authority with the activity advisers.

Earlier in the meeting, the students from the performing arts presented the Senate with a petition, signed by an estimated 100 students and faculty, saying that they would not support passage of “SB 100.”

Tim Brown, of performing arts, said, “We agree with most of this bill; we just don’t support giving students that much power.”

Brown’s statement concurred with the feelings expressed at the previous day’s public hearing by attending students and faculty. Most agreed that students lacked the expertise of the advisers in planning programs.

There was an uncharacteristic lack of controversy during the discussion of the bill until it came time to vote on it.

Sen. Russ Prince, Kappa, said, “We cannot accept this without the advisers here. This bill has been modified so many times — we’d be pulling the wool over their eyes.”

Student Body President Dave Starrett, who sponsored the bill, responded, “We have heard loudly and clearly from ad¬ visers and students.”

Referring to the amendments made,

6StafP soon to be obsolete

The Council of Deans voted Tuesday to print part-time instructors’ names instead of the word “staff” in the summer bulletin.

The reasoning for more use of “staff” rather than the instructor’s name in the past was because the instructors were likely to change. _ It was pointed out, however, that only 20 per cent were changed last summer.

Also mentioned was the new Information Center, to be located on the second floor of A Bldg. The Center should be ready for spring quarter, according to Paul Harrington, Dean of Student Services.

Faculty fears board interference; decides to report objections to Berg

By Don Althaus Admonished to be watchful of their

“virginity,” members of CD’s Faculty Association have decided against taking their objections to Dr. Berg’s proposed reorganization plan directly to the school’s Board of Trustees — at least for right now.

Meeting last Thursday, the Association debated whether to leave its complaints

Huh? President Berg has responded to the

Faculty Association's response to

President Berg's response to the Con¬ sultant's Report with the following memo:

"I will hold this document along with other responses for further disposition. This is in view of the instructions given the President in the preparation of the response to the consultant's report and turther, in view of my request to con¬ stituencies for input as to this report and until such time as the Board establishes *he mechanism for responses from these

constituencies.". - - •

with Dr. Rodney Berg or to bypass him and go straight to the board. But before the discussion, the group was addressed by

Ted Tilton, vice president for academic affairs, who warned that going to the board members could eventually mean their interference in classroom matters.

“If the board begins to make decisions for the President, they may take the second and third steps,” Tilton said. “They might make decisions in the classroom. And once you give up your virginity, you’re gone.”

Elaborating on the point, Tilton en¬ couraged the group to approach the board through regular channels of com¬ munication and to turn its efforts to other “relevant issues” at the college.

Following Tilton’s remarks, Association President Chuck Erickson read a brief memo from Dr. Berg (see box) which indicates Berg will turn over all responses to the plan to the Board of Trustees when the board establishes a “mechanism” for doing so. According to Erickson, the board established March 30 as the final date for

receiving all reactions and responses but he indicated that Berg had the option of passing on all such material before that time.

The discussion that followed was marked by a good deal of confusion as to the faculty’s role in the development of the reorganizational plan and how faculty could most effectively present their complaints.

There was general agreement that the Faculty Task Force assigned to trans¬ mitting faculty suggestions to the President had had little or no influence on the plan and, further, that effecting major changes would be unlikely.

One faculty member emphasized the importance of the board’s having given President Berg a vote of confidence by offering him a new three-year contract.

“They (board members) are notgoing to jump in and tell him how to organize this college. I don’t see that we can expect them to make drastic changes. We have to make our recommendations to Berg,” he said.

Starrett said, “There’s no wool left to be pulled over their eyes. ’’

The feeling of the Senate that further delay would be a waste of time was reflected in the results when the bill finally did come to a vote. The bill was passed 7-3.

Police find lots not full

By Robert Gregory Beginning Feb. 21 and continuing for the

rest of the week and also on Monday, Feb.

28, campus police compiled a statistical tabulation of occupied and unoccupied parking spaces.

On Monday, the 21st, at 10 a.m., a peak hour on the busiest day of the week, there were approximately 520 vacant parking

spaces in the A Bldg, blacktop lots, A-l through A-5. In the A-l lot, there was room

for 430 more cars, and for 80 more cars in the A-5 lot. There were 550 vacancies in the A Bldg, gravel lots.

At the same time, approximately 550 cars were parked in the two M Bldg, lots, with a capacity of 866 cars.

These statistics were supplied by the campus police in rebuttal to the contention

that the move from M Bldg, will over¬ crowd A Bldg, parking lots. The survey

showed that Wednesday was the second busiest day of the week in terms of the

number of cars parked, followed by Thursday, Tuesday, and Friday in that order.

Berg gets new

3-year contract The Board of Trustees last week ap¬

proved a new three-year contract for President Rodney Berg.

The contract, which rims through June, 1980, provides for mandatory physical

examinations for Berg prior to July 1 of each year. The contract carries with it provision for yearly evaluation.

Berg, completing his 11th year as president, had not had a formal written contract until this time. There are no

specific salary figures included in the contract language other than a provision

prohibiting any salary decrease not ex¬ tended to all administrative salaries.

We’ll be back ...

This will be the final issue of the Courier for the quarter.

College classes will resume March 28, and students can pick up their first Courier March 31.

The Courier staff would like to wish everyone a happy Spring Break — make the best of it!

Computerized car pool still far in the future

By Allen Brown A computerized car-pool system

which would benefit CD com¬

muters by reducing transportation costs and the number of cars in the already-taxed lots is still far off in the future.

Christine Fraser, Student Government vice president and former Transportation Committee chairman, is trying to model CD’s car-pool after a successful car¬ pooling program at the College of Lake County in Grayslake, m.

In a report filed last spring by Kappa Sen. Dianne Pollard, the Lake County system runs like this:

From then on, it is up to the student to contact the other students in the area.

Fraser said CD’s Data Processing Department could write {he program to be fed into the computer, but they are five years behind in their program requests.

Alvon Ramp, director of data processing, said that even before the program could be written, a feasibility study of several weeks would have to be done to see

whether or not a computerized car- views on the matter, pool could benefit an institution the Erickson announced

Another questioned: “Do we have a response or a recom¬ mendation to take to the board’ When we say, ‘We don’t like the way you did this, we don’t really have anything to say to the board "

Wayne Weiten, one of the authors of the Faculty Senate’s response to the Berg plan, emphasized that constructive suggestions were unnecessary.

“Constructive suggestions are an implicit endorsement of the reorganization plan and we didn’t want to do that,” Weiten said. But he added that he felt there would be little purpose in seeking a “special audience” with the board.

“We’re better off to seek change,” he said.

On the other side of the argument was Gus Reis who encouraged direct communication with the board.

“I compare this to onanism,” he said. “If we pull out before it gets to the board, we’ve committed a real sin.”

After debate slowed, Erickson took a straw poll of the group’s opinion on the issue and found the majority undecided. Of the ap¬ proximately 60 in attendance, 5 voted to go to the board while about a dozen voted not to do so.

Eventually, the group backed a motion to support the Senate in whatever action it decides to take. But several in attendance pointed out that individual faculty mem¬ bers had the right, as taxpayers, to approach the board with their

1. In the fall when the students come for registration they are each given a form to fill out. On this form they are asked for in¬ formation like name, address, phone number, class schedules and times.

2. Die forms are then returned two weeks before the fall session begins.

3. When these forms are brought in by the students, the Student Government sets up a map and asks the students to point out their zone and add the information to the form.

4. All the information that has been gathered is run through the computer. What the computer has been programmed to do is match up the people in the same zone, within a one mile radius, and class time.

5. When a student receives a printout with names of other students in his area, all the people in that group have the same names, addresses and phone numbers.

6. The computer is also programmed to tell the student other ways to get to school if there is no one in his area, such as trains and buses and their schedules.

However, Fraser said “The person who wrote the Lake County program will not sell or give it to us.”

Mark Crilly, Student Body President of Lake County College, said, “Signing up was voluntary and there were approximately 400 who had signed up for the fall semester (1975). At least 85 per cent of them were matched with at least one other person.”

size of CD.

He cited problems as the large number of students who change their schedules after the quarter begins and those students who go to work after classes and do not return home.

Ramp said that if his department were to have a car-pool system in operation by next fall it would have to start working on it full time now, and at the present, nothing is being done.

Even with all the obstacles, Fraser said “I would like to get the car-pool in operation before I leave office because that was one of my campaign promises. ”

She is currently scouting for a qualified person to write the computerized car-pool system.

that the Senate will develop suggestions through four committees. They are the Committee on the Curriculum Authentication Council, chaired by Gene Hallongren; Scheduling, chaired by Bob Dressel; Discipline Coordination, chaired by Wayne Weiten; and Faculty Role in Implementation chaired by John Oastler. The work of all four groups will be headed by Maurice Kraines.

Erickson referred to the last named group as a “watchdog committee,” and he encouraged all faculty to volunteer for these committees or to provide input.

Currently implementation of the reorganization plan is scheduled for July 1,1977.

CD will send ‘wish-list’

for 21 new staff to Board College of DuPage will present a

“wish list” for 21 new “professional staff members” to the Board of Trustees at its regular April meeting, according to Ted Tilton, vice president for academic affairs.

In other remarks to the Association, Diton encouraged the faculty members to direct their attentions to issues “bigger than those we are now concentrating

on.”

BOOK EXCHANGE OPEN Starting Monday, March 14, the

Book Exchange will be open. It will remain open through Spring break until Friday, April 8. Hours open will be Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m.- 7:30p.m.

Tilton indicated that 10 of those requested will be additions or staff replacements in vocational- technical programs and 11 coun¬ selors and instructors in transfer program areas.

In making the announcement to CD’s Faculty Association, Tilton suggested the board might not approve all requests since he said the college, while understaffed “in some areas” is “overloaded in

terms of total staff.”

Overall, current faculty stands at 264 and the full-time equivalent enrollment is projected to be 8,600. This would give a ratio of 1 to 33.

“We will have to make a strong case to the board to get additional

help,” he said.

Some of those issues listed by Tilton included:

1. Examination of the evaluation

of supervision of students in field work and internship programs.

2. Responding to the “changing

needs of students.”

3. Advising the administration in the area of excessive time spent by the 2-18 age group watching TV.

4. Suggestions for new methods

of resource allocation.

5. Suggestions to the ad¬ ministration concerning “a vision of the college we want to build.”

In making this last point, Tilton said that “telling us we don’t want what we have doesn’t help us in

administration.”

Talking transfer 0 Don Dame

Western Illinois University (Macomb) will bring an advanced registration team to our campus on May 16 and 17, so that CD students transferring to Western can register for Western’s fall, 1977 classes.

This means that students who meet Western’s admission application deadline of March 18, do not have to participate in an on-campus (at Western) summer registration for the fall term.

By participating in the Western Advanced Registration Program (WARP), you will have the same opportunity to register for classes as do Western’s returning students and will not need to take time off from your summer job to go to Western and register for fall classes.

In brief, the requirements are as follows: 1. Have admission application on file by March 18, (Applications for

Admission to Western can be found in PICS in the LRC). 2. Have official transcripts mailed from each college attended to

include all credit earned prior to spring quarter, 1977. 3. Cumulative “C” average for all hours attempted. 4. Spring quarter, 1977 schedule to include course number, depar¬

tment, and credit hours for each course as listed in CD catalog. 5. Transcripts and spring quarter class schedule MUST be on file at

Western no later than April 13,1977. Last spring, fifty-five (55) CD students participated in the WARP

program in the Campus Center at CD. If you would like to hear the comments of some of those CD students, via audio tape, concerning the WARP program, you could listen to the tape which is available in the Planning and Information Center for Students (PICS) in the LRC and in the small college information centers.

The student comments were made prior to, during, and after

completing the WARP program.

Art faculty unhappy with offer, asks additional space for gallery

By Peggy Zaeh For many years the art faculty

has been doing battle with the college administrators for the dire need of an art gallery. The ad¬ ministration came back with a token offer which was to share space with the Food Service Department.

Adnan Ertas, design, painting and sculpting instructor, firmly stated:

“From my point of view as an artist, a gallery is like an arena for a performing artist. Where else is he going to tell or have other people experience his doings. You can’t do this in a cafeteria, you can’t do it in a hallway, you have to have an arena where people go if they want to see good works of art ex¬ periences.”

Ertas considers it an insult to art

and a desecration to take art out of its environment.

“For a lot of people,” Ertas said, “a gallery is where you hang paintings. That’s not the definition of gallery. A gallery in its purest definition is an environment and this environment would be sort of an arena where people would come in and see what the college, as a community, has been involved in. For people to participate in a real academic manner, not simply a room where you just put price tags on things.”

What the college has to define is, is this college ready for an en¬ vironment of visual deliverance, and the feedback Ertas gets from the people that are in the visual arts say they need this gallery to display themselves, to express themselves. Ertas added, “We would like to record and reflect the experiences that are taking place in this college and community.” .

Pam Lowrie, drawing and design instructor, felt that gallery would provide students, college personnel and residents of DuPage County an appropriate place to present and experience visual art. The gallery would encourage creativity, productivity and dialog among members of the college and community thereby assist the cultural services and programs offered at the College.

Functional uses of the art gallery are numerous: Display students work . . . share their work with the community. Display works of art by known contemporary artists — traveling show — being exposed to what’s happening in the cultural world and actually experiencing art. Retain artists-in-residence, where an artist would come to the

college and spend time working or lecturing on campus.

To make it a total experience the college must have a place to display the artist’s work. Hold community art shows, a very important aspect to bring the community into the gallery. Have the faculty show their works. It would also be an appropriate at¬ mosphere to have poetry readings and small musical concerts. It can also function well with special receptions.

“About four years ago,” Pam Lowrie continued, “I was up and down the coast of California visiting art departments of com¬ munity colleges and found that they had tremendous art galleries. I feel we're really behind times.”

Projecting on the subject of the art gallery becoming self- supporting, Lowrie agreed that it can be and further added, “It would be subsidized by com¬ missions on what is sold and the revenue from the printmaking program could be very lucrative.”

The print making program never got off the ground despite the fact that all courses for teaching were approved by the State a couple of years ago. The college has not yet allocated space, equipment and faculty on campus for the program although there have been requests for the courses.

The art faculty members in fine arts are: Pam Lowrie, drawing and design; John Lemon, drawing and art history; Karl Owen, drawing and design; Pat Kurriger, art history; Adnan Ertas, design, painting, sculpting; John Wantz, ceramics; Willard Smith, jewelry; and vocational arts; Chet Witek, interior design, Georgia Bonnell, fashion; Bob Johnson, John Church and Ed Dewell, photography. All are practicing

artists that produce their own art. Fine arts includes painting and

sculpture. Visual art includes crafts, graphics design, conceptual works and performance art, which comprise 18 different fields.

The art faculty’s art gallery plight has been hampered by administrative resistance, but their persistance is impervious and optimism rates high. Lowrie concluded with, “DuPage County does not have a cultural center and the College of DuPage has great talent. Why can’t the college be the cultural center for the arts. We depend heavily on the community for financial assistance and enrollment support. I feel we can give them something back ... an art gallery.”

‘Morning after’ thoughts After two days of controversial

proceedings over Senate Bill 100 (the budget control act, in case you’ve just returned from Mars), after listening to arguments over the issue of student control of activity money that on both sides ranged from the perfectly valid to the totally absurd, after watching the bill get amended beyond recognition, this reporter was ready to do two things.

One was to write a scathing commentary on some of the weird behaviors observed of those who should know better, the other was to buy himself a twelve-pack of his favorite brew and let it do its stuff.

Now that my head has cleared from a weekend of no S.B. 100, no irrational, angry statements, as well as the soothing effects of half a twelve-pack of my magical ale, I realized that such a commentary would only open a lot of old wounds that some would like to close.

Seeing things a bit more clearly now, I can see a few of the political mistakes made by those who were the driving forces behind student budget control.

One was the failure to solicit grass-roots support from those who would have been the most directly affected by (his bill, namely the students involved in the ac¬ tivity areas covered in S.B. 100. There was a misconception on the part of some in S.G. that these-students-would be inherently in favor of this act.

This proved not to be the case, as the students who turned out at the second public hearing simply restated the positions stated by their advisers at the first public hearing.

The other was to try to wrest budgetary control of the activity programs from some of the individuals who practically built these programs from scratch. Especially when one considers that some of these programs stand up favorably to those of any community college in the state.

On the other side of the coin, Dick Holgate’s ultimatum that he would close down operations in the performing arts area if he didn’t get his way did him no favors.

As Tom Schmidt stated during the Feb. 3 Student Senate meeting, “The programs are bigger than any one of us — we’re all under an obligation to keep these activities going.”

To do otherwise would be a disservice to •> the students involved in the activity

programs, for it is they who ultimately ' would suffer.

I realize as I write this that I may have ruffled some feathers and may have to listen to some rather derogatory statements from some people.

Why do you think I saved half of that twelvepack?

Out of this ‘Worlds* To the editor:

If Student Government were a horse they’d be shot and if ‘Worlds’ were a car they’d be recalled for lemonism.

S.G. financed ‘Worlds’ and the majority of ‘Worlds’ articles are either done by S.G., the ‘Worlds’ staff or the Courier; an

outrage. Those ‘Worlds’ “boxes” left around are

not for us to get inspired over; they are a guise to let the students, faculty, and administration believe that ‘Worlds’ is really doing their job editing our creations, when in fact they are in collusion with S.G.

to blow their own horns.

S.G. does nothing but promote a long line of pompous crazies, the likes of which have not been seen since Marie Antoinette, and need I say this person would not be the only one who’d enjoy a demise the same.

S.G. is no more than the figurehead of the Great Ship CD, and is about as hard to get into as getting a job driving an ice cream bicycle in die summertime. If Fonzie were here I’m sure he would not have to say “Sit on it, ‘Worlds’” because you already are.

worried. He supposedly is “almost left shaking in (his) shoes” because one man (Senator Joe McCarthy) “could put so much fear, hatred and worry into thousands of people’s minds” and, of course, it was all based upon “unfounded

accusations.” Well, I have good news for Gerry; he can

put his worried mind to rest because reality was never like that at all. Yes, it seems like an incredible thing to say. Doesn’t everyone believe that there had

m a McCarthy reign of terror when anti¬ communists were lurking under every bed and government committees ate up in¬ nocent liberals with peanut butter and jelly ? I repeat it never was like that.

To say that Senator McCarthy’s ac- ivities were based on “unfounded ac- isations” is worse than incorrect, it

iiows a serious lack of knowledge of the

<ets and of history.

Contemporary liberalism is drunk with power and its arrogance has become in¬ tolerable. The movie “Tail Gunner Joe” was not entertainment, it was not historical drama, it was anti-McCarthy propaganda, a one-sided, misleading diatribe. The accusations against Joe McCarthy are not proven, irrefutable facts; they are the opinions of McCarthy’s enemies — OPINIONS, many without

factual substance.

There is another side to what should be a debate, but there is no debate because the people who are sympathetic to Joe McCarthy are seldom given an op¬ portunity for rebuttal. But don’t take my word for it; simply go to the library and get the book McCarthy and His Enemies,

by William F. Buckley and L. Brent Bozell, or read Roy Cohn’s book, McCarthy.

What is truly frightening is that an entire generation of American youth has grown up who know only what McCarthy’s enemies have said against him. With rare exceptions, they know nothing about the arguments in defense of Senator

McCarthy.

— Kenneth Cillo

Dario’s Drift

One last look at SB 100 Senate Bill 100 is now law. The Russians

are not marching across Roosevelt Road, and it still rains in Indianapolis in the summertime. A little more red tape has been added to the miasma that already exists, but cosmically speaking, things are the same as they were B.T.B. (Before The Bill).

The point of this diatribe then is to discuss the behavior of many of the students who showed up to speak against the bill, both at the public hearing last Wednesday, and at the Senate meeting the next day, when the bill was passed.

A large percentage of; the students who came to air their gripes put on an em¬ barrassing display of childish behavior, seemingly going out of their collective way to ram home the my-way-or-no-way-at-all thinking of those advisers opposed to the

Jjillfromtiiestart. v . Who in his right mind will argue that

students should not have any control whatsoever over their very own money? I personally objected to the bill as far as the $600 limit on spending (now defunct) went. The operations section, requiring passive or active consent of students to let advisers spend money was also a stupid idea, and that bit the dust, too.

The startlingly immature actions of certain students who testified at the two meetings did much to damage the credibility of the advisers under whom they work and study. Richard Holgate and Carl Lambert, to name the two most in¬ volved advisers, were able to present their opinions in level-headed terms, without letting emotions and a desire to out-shout a Senator cloud the issue.

Their students were not able (willing) to do this, however, and it makes one wonder if those upstairs in Performing Arts know what kind of students represent them in public. Two examples of this immature behavior stick out.

The first occurred Wednesday at the hearing. One Performing Arts student wanted to see a detailed breakdown on the comings and goings of student money. -

Told that this information had appeared not only in the Courier, but also in several area newspapers, the student, patriotic and responsible soul that he is, replied

that, well, maybe some of us are too busy with Performing Arts or don’t have access to the papers to find out these things.

And a thousand violins begin to sing. A similar episode unfolded Thursday. A

music student complained that he and others had not been given adequate ad¬ vance notice of the bill’s consideration. (Memos were sent to all activities advisers asking them to tell their students just what was going on. Good job, advisers.) He suggested that the bill was being slipped by the student body in secret.

Told that at least five articles over a foifr-week'poidd had appeared'in the Courier specifically dealing with the bill, the student then asked why information about the bill'could hot -be mailed ' students. Individually. At : Student Government’s expense.

-. He felt that it is Student Government's responsibility to inform all students about everything it does. It follows that he feels the individual student should take no initiative of his own to become informed.

The sad part is, it is probable that most students feel just that way, also.

In all fairness, some student speakers had actually read the bill, and asked in¬ sightful questions which did much toward pointing out to the Senate the bill’s basic problems —its wording, its ambiguity.

Sen. Cenkner was absolutely right when he said Thursday that no public hearing need have been called at all. The bill could have been passed at any time (even with the $500 clause. Ye gods.) and the students would have been out in the street.

It’s nice to know that Performing Arts won’t be shut down, but the Senate should not think that this is a mandate for future actions of this type, nor should it think it is doing us a favor by glomming up the works with more red tape.

And last, the advisers should have better-prepared students defending their positions, if a case like this ever arises

again. Otherwise, the students might

make bigger fools of themselves than they

already did. Leave that responsibility with the CD

administrators as they try to explain away

our parking problem. — Tom Ryan

To make it clear At last Thursday’s Senate meeting,

when Senate Bill 100 finally squeezed through, many students showed up to air their views concerning the bill.

Among those present were a few per¬ forming arts students who seemed to think that the Student Senate did not put out enough publicity on the bill. They claimed that most students never saw the bill in its entirety, and therefore were not aware of the consequences it imposed.

These “certain” students went on to ask why Student Government did not print the bill in its totality (about 10 pages) within the confines of the Courier.

I would like to make it known to these people, and to others who might ask the

same, that Student Government does not, will not, and won’t ever (as long as I can help it) tell the Courier what and what not

to print. Nor will anyone else.

If we felt the need to take up two whole pages of this paper and print SB 100, we would. We did feel, however, that students who were interested enough could just as easily drop in at the Student Government

office and pick up a copy.

Until the Courier is overthrown (with

force) by Student Government, we will continue to print what we feel the students

want — not what Student Government

wants. —Wayne Shoop

CD gamers many b-ball awards As could be expected, the DuPage

basketball team’s players and coach walked off with numerous awards given by the North Central Community College Conference coaches.

Center Mike Robinson was named the*

N4C Most Valuable Player, several DuPage players were named to various All-Conference teams, and coach Dick Walters was, for the second year in a row, elected Coach of the Year.

Robinson, a graduate of Hirsch high school in Chicago, averaged 20.6 points and 16.3 rebounds per game in leading the Chaparrals to their second straight con¬ ference championship. He was second in the N4C in total scoring.

Robinson was also selected for the All- Conference first team, joined by Randy Parker of Illinois Valley, Mike Johnson of Rock Valley, Doron Dobbins of Triton, and Chris Brown of Wright.

Robinson was the only freshman named to the first team.

Steve Long and Tom Rowley from DuPage made the second team, and no Chaps were named to the third team.

Chris French, Dan Williams, Jim Garry and Don Strumillo all got special mention honors.

Acknowledging his selection as coach of the year, Walters said, “There are a lot of great basketball programs and great coaches in the N4C. I think it’s an achievement to win the conference two years in a row, and it’s an honor to be coach of the year two straight years.”

The past six years, DuPage has won at least twenty games per season; along the

It’s time for

Spring Qtr.

Intramurals It’s that time again! Ten brand-new,

exciting intramural events will be starting soon, all for your athletic pleasure.

On April 4 we have the beginning of the co-ed volleyball league. The rules stipulate that at least one girl from each team must be on the floor (playing volleyball, that is) at all times. A round robin schedule is now being set up for all interested teams. Roster deadline is March 31. Games will be played at 2 pm. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through April 15.

Six-man soccer will be played at 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning April 14. Roster deadline is April 7.

Sixteen-inch softball begins April 20, games to be played on the field east of J Building. Rosters for this must be sub¬ mitted by April 13.

Golf begins on April 19, continuing on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays through May 27.1116 $3.00 fee is divided up so that the Intramural Department pays two dollars to your $1.00. There is a limit of nine holes per day, and you must register in the intramural office before playing. It will be held at the Lombard Park District

course. Other activities this quarter will be: a

horseshoe tournament (May 17), tennis (May 31-June 3), swimming (March 30- June 8 at the Carol Stream pool), fencing (May 10), and archery (May 3).

Also, during the quarter there will be an open gym period daily from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., whenever league games or tour¬ naments are not scheduled.

And of course, the spring quarter at CD would not be complete without the Little 500 tricycle race in mid-May during Spring Week. Wait for further details.

Sauk Valley proves easy prey

for DuPage indoor track team DuPage’s indoor track team added

another win last weekend at the Sauk Valley Invitational with a total of 150.5 points.

Five first place finishes included Les Orlo in the mile run, Jim Chirbus in the high jump, Don Imhof in the two-mile, and Mark Malich in the triple jump.

The mile relay team consisting of Malich, Bob Berendt, Avery Pleasant, and

Lyle Benedetto also captured a first. Blackhawk came in second in the meet

with 100.5 points. Blackhawk actually had one more first place than CD. Sauk Valley totalled 81 points, while Blackhawk East and Oakton tied for fourth place with 29 points. Kishwaukee had 21, and Illinois Valley had 12.

At the University of Illinois this Saturday, the state meet begins. Preliminaries will be held in the morning, while the finals will be held in the af¬

ternoon. “The meet will really be between Lin¬

coln land and us,” said coach Ron Ottoson, “We’re finally a team, rather than all individuals. We more than demonstrated that this last Friday.

“Our team depth is coming through. I can even now put two men in every event to compete at the state level. If we run like we’ve been running all year, we’ll be state

champs,” Ottoson said. Nationals for indoor track will be held

March 17-18 in Macomb, Michigan.

way Walters has compiled a 138-41 record, for a .771 percentage.

DuPage this year was comprised of twelve freshmen who had never played together before, so while a 23-6 record is something to be proud of, it had to end sometime. It ended at the sectional tournament with a 76-75 loss to Illinois Valley.

“I think the lack of experience hurt us there,” Walters said. “Freshmen are going to make mistakes, and those mistakes cost you ballgames. That’s what happened in the sectionals.”

Next year, Walters believes, the Chaps should be loaded with talent. “With all our freshmen back, we should be a powerful team. Add the ability to a little more ex¬ perience and our future looks bright.”

This year’s award is the fourth coaching honor for Walters since coming to DuPage. In 1973 he was selected “Press Publications Coach of the Year.” In 1974, the year DuPage won the state cham¬ pionship, he was Illinois Community College Coach of the year, and this is his second N4C award.

Gym team wins

with no trouble DuPage went up against Triton in a dual

men’s gymnastics meet last Friday at Triton, and emerged slightly less scathed (more unscathed) than a herd of wild moose doing battle with a box of Ritz Crackers. DuPage racked up 150.0 points to Triton’s 66.

Kevin Castan’s 9.10 on the trampoline was far more than good enough to win the event. Other DuPage firsts were Rick Paulsen on the still rings (8.60), Mike Swiatek on the parallel bars (8.20) and Jim Wolff on floor exercise (7.00)

Wolff and Eric Eweod tied for first on the pommelhorse with identical 7.1 scores. Wolff also won the vaulting (6.9), and Swiatek won the horizontal bar with a 6.9.

The NJCAA championships are coming up this weekend in Odessa, Texas. Long Beach City College of California is ex¬ pected to win, with their toughest com¬ petition coming from Odessa, the host school. The other three schools who have a chance to finish way up there are Far- mingdale State in New York, New Mexico Jr. College, and DuPage.

Women’s team is

3rd at Triton With Dawn Silfies swimming the all-

around competition, the CD women’s gymnastics team took third at the Triton Invitational Tournament last Saturday.

Silfies won the vaulting competition, placed second in the balance beam event and fourth in the floor exercise event for a total of 30.45 points.

DuPage’s 87.45 points for the meet were just behind second place Triton’s 88.00 and

first place Northern Illinois University, which registered 88.35.

Ann Weidner added to DuPage’s team score with a second place in floor exercise and fourth place in the balance beam competition.

Mike Robinson, N4C Most Valuable Player.

Swimmers do all

right at state

Being the only community college at the Illinois Association Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (IAIAW) state meet, DuPage was not expected to be rough competition.

As it turned out, DuPage scored 172 points, beat nine four-year universities, and all nine swimmers who entered from DuPage scored points.

Carol Chambers and Lisa Fries led DuPage in scoring. Chambers took third in the 50- and 100-yard breaststroke and fourth in the 200-yard breaststroke. Fries placed fifth in the 50- and 100-yard backstroke, and sixth in the 200-yard backstroke.

Randi Olson made the consolation division finals in the butterfly and Lori Bos placed in the freestyle. Sherri AuBuchon and Chris Cooper both placed in the breaststroke.

All three divers: Brenda Bogard, Nan McHugh, and Nancy Adee, made the top 16

in the three meter diving. Bogard and McHugh also made the finals of the one- meter diving competition.

Five girls entered the 1650-yard free style event including Fries, Chambers, Olson, Deb Besely, and Ann Zukauskas All five qualified for NJCAA Nationals to be held March 9-12 in Fort Pierie, Florida.

University of Illinois at Champaign won the meet, with Southern Illinois taking second and Illinois State third.

Gillman caps most successful

DuPage wrestling season ever Heavyweight Jeff Gillman topped off the

most successful wrestling season ever recorded at DuPage by finishing fourth in the National Junior College Athletic Association championships at Itasca Community College in Worthington, Minn.

Gillman, a 6’3”, 316-pound sophomore,

had a 33-4 total record this season. He was unable to wrestle last year because of a knee injury, but in 1975, he was 24-9 as a freshman. Out of 37 matches this season, Gillman had 20 pins, which is unusual in the heavyweight class.

In 1975, Gillman was a champion of the Itasca Invitational Tournament, second in the North Central Community College Conference Tournament and the Region IV

Illinois State Tournament. He was third at the Triton Invitational and Carthage

College Invitational. This season, Gillman was first in the

Carthage College Invitational and the North Central Community College Conference Tournament. His second place finishes included the Triton and Itas# Invitational, and the Region IV state tournament. His five pins in seve matches set a tournament record at the

national finals this year. “Jeff was super at the nationals,

DuPage coach A1 Kaltofen said. “ competed against the toughest in 1 ( country and came out fourth. Jeff isn’t jus

a ‘big kid,’ he’s a fine wrestler.”
