Convenience store clerks rest easy
: markets are jokingly
called "shop-and-rob" stores for notorious
reasons - late business hours make them
very susceptible to robberies.
During the past month, several Fresno
convenience stores have reported armed
robberies. Usually occurring in the wee
hours, the bandit escapes with an un¬
determined amount of cash. In some
cases, he has been known to assault the
employee behind the cash register.
"There's not much you can do when a
guy is pointing a gun at you," said Ramin
Zarkoob, a CSU F computer major work¬
ing the Cedar and Shaw 7-Eleven Food
Store. "There's a statement in the restroom
which reads: 'Treat the robber like a
regular customer - give him what he
Zarkotft), 23, has been working the
st ore's graveyard shift for a year now. The
possibility of being held-up is usually the
furthest thought in his mind. "90 percent
of the faces look familiar," he said.
Kenny Green works the graveyard hours
at the Shaw and Maple 7-Eleven. Like
Zarkoob, Green shares the same belief
about dealing with an apparent robber.
"Just cooperate," he said. "If someone is
standing there with a gun, there isnt much
;ndo."
While the hazy valley fog blankets the
empty parking lot, Green shows little
stress about the hazards of his two-week-
early mornings with
"Basically, I 'm not afraid of an apparent
robber. I don't really fear the danger of
what can happen," said the loft-spoken
Green. "1 know God, if its His will, then
there's nothing I can do about it."
Being a born-again Christian for the
past five years has brought comfort to
Green's life, he said. His faith allows him
to handle the stress that sometimes occurs
with his job, he said. "The only time I hear
about the danger of being held-up is from
my friends and family. But anything can .
happen at any time," he said. "Yon can
step out in tbe fog and get hit by a car."

"They're
Black
Culture
'Ignored'
Several months ago, Dr. James H.
Rogers from CSUF's Ethnic Studies pro¬
gram was a forum panelist speaking at
Edison High on "The Miseducation of
Black Children in the San Joaquin Valley,"
But Rogers astounded the media and
members of the Black Education Con¬
ference by removing a picture of rock 'n'
roll legend Jimi Hendrix from the school's
wall. "We don't need drug addicts as role
models for young blacks," he replied.
Rogers pointed out that there are two
aspects of the miseducation of black chil¬
dren in the elementary and high schools in
the San Joaquin Valley that have not been
fairly addressed or understood.
According to Rogers, the first and
foremost need is to recognize the historical
economic exploitation and educational
discrimination that has been practiced
against blacks — which has disadvantaged
blacks and all minority students in the
educational system.
"What's needed is an intensive basic
skills competence program to prepare
black students to compete with middle-
class economically privileged white stu¬
dents," he said.
The second issue is his belief that 90
percent of the trigh schools in the San
Joaquin Valley ignore the ethnic historical
and cultural experience in their curriculum
for minority students.
"1 have discovered at CSUF that 98
percent of my students are entirely racially
ignorant to the history of the African
civilization," he said. "They need to be
aware of black leadership and achieve¬
ments. Legends like Frederick Douglass,
Sojourner Truth, and W.E.B. DuBois."
Thus, the contribution to the American
and world culture by blacks is completely
ignored in the "miseducational"system in
the valley.

Use of 'status' drugs rising
Drug use among high school s
this year's college freshmen — declined
for the fifth consecutive year in 1984 for
all commonly-used drugs except cocaine,
the results of a nationwide survey released
last week indicate.
According to the survey, 5.8 percent of
the high school seniors questioned last
spring had used cocaine in the most recent
month, up from 4.9 percent the previous
year. Among students in the northeast
section of the country, the figure jumped
from 6.9 to 11 percent.
But use of all other drugs on the survey
— including LS D, PCP, cigarettes, alcohol,
marijuana, sedatives and tranquilizers —
was down.
Tbe percentage of regular marijuana
smokers, for example, dropped one-half a
percentage point to five percent, down
from the 1978 peak of II percent.
The continuing decline stems from an
increasingly widespread view that drug
use is risky and unacceptable behavior,
•aid survey director Lloyd Johnston of the
University of Michigan.
"In the long run, this may be the only
battle in the war against drugs that society
can really win," Johnston said of the bid
to change students'attitudes toward drug
use. The attempts to control the supply
and price of drugs are likely to fail, he
says.
But others, while accepting the validity
of Johnston's methodolgy, suggest other
factors may account for the continuing
"The use of achiever drugs, such as
cocaine, is going up, while the use of
relaxing drugs is going down," notes Kevin
Zeese, director of the National Organiza¬
tion for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
which discourages the use of controlled
substances but favors making marijuana
legal.
"We're not so much solving the drug
problem as changing it," Zeese said.
Joanne Gampel, director of the Center
on Marijuana and Health, suggests that
students' increased emphasis on learning
marketable skills is changing drag use
"People want to be energized," she said.
"Marijuanadoesn't do that. Students can't
work while on marijuana, but they can
while on cocaine."
There are even signs of an increasing
cocaine habit among politically conser¬
vative students, not normally drug ex¬
perimenters, Gampel said.
"One student at tbe University of
Maryland told me the word on campus is
that students dont feel cocaine is a drug,"
Gampel says. "Its just something that
gives you strength and energy. They want
to get ahead in the world, so using
something that gives you energy is okay."
Johnston dismisses these explanations,
arguing the increase in cocaine use
nationwide since 1983 is statistically
insignificant. -~ -»
What's more, Johnstons survey in¬
dicates students are increasingly wary of
cocaine. In 1983, 74 percent of them said
they thought there is great risk in regular
cocaine use. Last year, that figure jumped
