The 2400 students enrolled there experience the benefits of a student/ faculty ratio of 15-1, with more than 70 per cent of the faculty members holding doctorate degrees. The 220 acre campus opened its facilities eight years ago; the library and classroom buildings being the first in use. Since then the - Iieldhouse opened in 1967, the performing arts complex in 1970, the college union in 1971, and the science building in 1972. There are presently cafeteria and health facilities scheduled for construction. According to the new calendar, ' students take four classes in fall and four in spring, and choose one course for the winter term, which may range from studies abroad to wine making or skiing. There are bachelor degrees of-

Competitive baseball, basketball, track, tennis, golf and cross - country are also a part of the college curriculum. The California State college at Stanislaus is described by some of its students as a small, innovative college, offering intellectual and social stimulation in the quiet, smog - free, rural atmosphere of central California.

Staff In Capital Editorial staff members of the Times Dave Goll, Laurie Joesten, Monroe Schacht, Pat Yep, and Laurie Slothowerattended the Northern California Conference of the Journalism Association of Community Colleges last Saturday. The conference consisted of speeches, workshops, seminars, and an awards ceremony. The young journalists expressed good feelings about the conference at Sacramento City College even though the "Times" won no awards. "Anytime City College pays for a fivedollar dinner, I'll take it" enthused Dave Goll, editor - in - chief. "Plus, the Sacramento campus makes our school look like a concrete slab."

"I have new hope for the New Journalism" said Laurie Slothower, page three editor. "I too liked the Sacramento campus. They even have real trees and grass, instead of the simulated astro turf of San Jose City." "No comment" quipped Art Carey, "Times" advisor.

The speaker was Rod Holmgren, author of "The Mass Media BO()k". Holmgren defined and discussed the New Journalism. New Journalism has four main things, he said. The first is saturation reporting, spending weeks with the subject so that the tiniest scenes and most minute are captured in vidid detail. The second cha racteristic is writing the piece using a story - line - that is, using fiction techniques in non - fiction writing. Thirdly, it is using lots of dialogue to get the essence of the person. And finally, he said, -it is using much descriptive detail. Holmgren cited as examples of New Journalists Rex Reed, Art Hoppe, Gay Talese; Hunter Thompson, and Jimmy Breslin, besides the obvious example of Tom Wolfe. After the speech Times staffers attended an smorgasbord of workshops . Topics for the fifty - minute sessions included lay - out, photography, feature writing , sports coverage, television news, column writing, and a Prop. 1 debate.

Floyd Dudley, Director of Activities, and Coordinator of the event was also disappointed about the turnout of the dance. "He attributed to Jack of time, lack of interest, and lack of cooperation from those involved." He concluded by saying "that the game was a big success, I was proud of the teams effort." Was it the threat of a large crowd that · kept people away from the dance following the game? Or was it the fact that many of the students at City College just can 't dance? What is it that keeps the Homecom ing Dance a continual disaster? These questions continue to plague Student Body Officers at City College. After last years events were unsuccessful, they had new hopes for this year. And this years events . .. worse than last years. Only 5 girls competed as compared to 18 last year. Is it apathy or are people just afraid to get involved? And what of next years events'! Will they continue to fall apart or will some sudden burst of spirit emerge? Only you can determine the fate of next years homecoming.

Miss Talesfore a 1973 graduate of Del Mar High School and Cosmetology Major went on to say "The Homecoming events weren't organized from the start. There didn't seem to be enough spirit and enthusiasm from the few people who attended the dance."

It is sponsored by the Santa Clara County Health Department and completely run by teen - age volunteers who keep the clinic open eight hours each week.
