COLUMN, from

unjustly, I might add —fv
and the meeting ended right
where it started: nothing
accomplished and the
ASl's agenda seemingly in
neutral for the rest of the
semester.
But never fear, those of
you who still have faith in
our student government —
all two of you. The ASI has
scheduled a Sunday meet¬
ing at 6 p.m, a "Sunday
Surprise,"" if you wift.
At this meeting the
following will probably
happen: The ASI will
somehow manage finally
get something done, some¬
thing that tne Reality, party
has been wanting to do all
semester — cut The
Collegian's percentage of
money it receives from the
students to produce a paper.
I have heard from'
sources that this will be
attempted.
I admit The Collegian
hasn't been the friggin'
New York Times this
mester. But surely, our
night forays into the
world of journalism have
been more organized than
this farce of a student
government called ASI.
The ASl's continued
ineptitude makes The
Collegian's organization
look like IBM (I stole that
line from our Editor. It was
good, so, hell, I decided it
was appropriate). I know
there are many students on
campus who don't like The
Collegian, feel that we're
not doing a good enough
job, and trash our newspa¬
per publicly.
But there are those of
you who. do read us. And I
know that there are prob- *
ably more than 1,800 of
you that read us throughout
the week, which is the
grand total of students who
voted in last month's ASI
elections. « j
Show your voice. Let
yourselves be heard. Don't
let 12 stupid people stifle
your right to read a little
news every now and then.
Cancer patient
performs play
The Actors Workshop of
Fresno and the Unitarian Univer-
salist Church of Fresno wUl
present three performances of
"Deep Canyon: A Woman's Jour¬
ney to the Edge and Back," an
original one-woman show written
and performed by Annan Pater-
son.
Based on her experiences as a
cancer patient in 1990, the play
tells the tale of her many experi¬
ences dealing with cancer, as well
as her process of healing physi¬
cally, psychologically and spiri¬
tually.
Show dates are May 19,20and
21 at 8 p.m at the Unitarian Uni-
versalist Church of Fresno, 4144
N. Millbrook. For ticket reserva¬
tions and more information, call

divided the players into two teams,
with each trying to identify as many
verbs as possible. And the players
took it from there.
"The competitive spirit just
surged,'* Keating said. "When one
guy would gef it right, everyone
would give him high fives and low
fives." r
Elizabeth Tempiin, assistant di¬
rector for the CESL program, sara
language games are the best way to
help the players.
"We make them use it," TempUn
said. "You don't learn language by
talking about it, just like you don't
learn baseball by talking about it."
And the players agreed the
games were helpful. Javier Diaz, a
third-baseman from the Domini¬
can RepubUc, said attending En¬
glish-only classes was a challenge.
"In the Dominican (Republic),
we don't speak English, we can
only speak Spanish," Diaz said.
"We have to know English because
'we have to talk to the coach."
Mauricio Gonzalez, a second
•
baseman from the Dominican Re¬
public who is in his third year of
English, said Keating' s teaching
makes the class easier to compre¬
hend. '
'It's easy with him," Gonzalez
said. "He's a good teacher."
In one night' s class, for example,
the first great challengewas having
the players explain to Keating bow
to go from a department store on
Main Street to a supermarket on
Pine Street The players turned on
their "English channel" at Keating' s
request, pantomimed by flipping
an imaginary switch on the side of
their heads, and the race was on.
'Turn right! Turn left!" the play¬
ers shouted, and at last they reached
the supermarket
The class was whipped into a
frenzy when Keating used some
scenes from the movie, "A League
of Their Own" to teach some base¬
ball terminology. Keating asked
questions about the action, and the
class responded accordingly.
"BaU." "Strike." •Third base."
•Tiigbrfasfhall," "Foul baU." *Two
outs," they murmured in unison.
Keating tried to end the class be¬
fore the movie's final scene, when
Kit (Lori Petty) rounds third base
and bears down on her sister Dottie
(Geena Davis).
"Okay, you can all go home
now," Keating said with a grin.
"No," they shouted in unison.
Kit knocked the ball out of Dome's
band to score the winning run* and
the players erupted with resound¬
ing cheers. All except Mauricio
Gonzalez, who cocked his head,
unsatisfied. f
"I want to know what happened
next" Gonzalez said.
The players happily filed out of
the ropm, then headed for their
rooms or the hotel's coffee shop.
There would be another day, an¬
other game, another challenge to
meet and they wanted to be ready.
