In the Doghouse ...
Booze and barbs abound at PCAA Tournament
It's a place to get serenely snockered.
It's a place to exchange pleasantries, like
"Your mama wears combat boots." It's
also a place to salivate at scantily attired
young ladies.
Oh yeah. They also play a little basket¬
ball in this house of moral deprivation.
The local? Say its not true! The fabu¬
lous Forum in Inglewood is the palace of
booze, barbs and broads. Maybe not
when the Lakers are at home, but starting
tomorrow afternoon it will be for a steamy.
Just a fraction of the fun and games will
take place on the Forum's hardwood this
weekend during the PCAA's post-season
basketball tournament. The REALaction
will evolve from around the players.
In the not so distant past, the PCAA
Tournament was little more than an exer¬
cise in boredom. Repeat after me: "Fresno

Panel: Sexist society affects education
A panel addressing "Education and
Change in a Sexist Society" asserted that
ihe attention history has paid to the tasks
men perform and the devaluation of the
role of women has created a sexist society
to ihe detriment of both women and men.
Vice President for Academic Affairs
judnh Kuipers, one of the panelists,
believes "a giant revolution in knowledge
is taking place" as well as a change in the
demographics of our society.
"The sciences are all beginning to tum¬
ble one into the other..." and soon, "the
growing numbers of Americans of another
skin color will be supporting the aging
»hiie Americans," she said. Kuipers said
these changes and others in politics, reli¬
gion and medicine are causing "us to ques¬

Studies by two CSUF professors relat¬
ing to social time and an individual's use of
it were recently published in PSYCHOL¬
OGY TODAY.
Dr. AlexanderOonzalezand Dr. Robert
Levine were encouraged to submit their
Findings by an eminant psychologist from
Stanford who is a former colleague of
Gonzalez's, and who has contributed arti¬
cles to the magazine in the past.
Gonzalez's cover story article was "bas¬
ically aimed at looking at an individual
and their perception to the future," he
His study was based on a survey where
he said he learned, "the younger you are,
the less preoccupied you are with the
future, whereas the older you are, you
tend to be more concerned."
In his article, he included seven differ¬
ent factors on time: work motivation, time
pressure, goal seeking, avoiding planning,
pragmatic action, having fun, and specific
daily planning.
The differences were based on age and
sex, he said. "Women are more present-
oriented than men," Gonzalez said. "But,
when it comes to income and occupation,
[the results] are more blurred."
Levine's article was based on cross cul¬
tural research where he studied the way
that time on a clock is interpreted by
people.
He said the research concept began sev¬
eral years ago while he was a visiting pro¬
fessor in Brazil.
"I noticed that the clocks were less
accurate because they were more expen¬
sive and not everyone had them," he
explained. "People would arrive late to an
appointment and stay late."
After recognizing this behavior he said
it led to other studies of more general
concepts of time and how people use it.
Levine said he and a colleague decided
to measure the pace of life in six different
countries including the United States,
Japan Indonesia, Taiwan, Italy and
England.
"We went to the largest city in each
country and looked at three things,"
Levine explained. "We measured the
average walking speed of a pedestrian,
average time to fill a postal requirement
and general concern with clocks, time and
punctuality."
Over a years period he collected all his
data and found that the pace of life in
Japan is fastest with the United State*
following right behind.
"The way we spend our time tells us the
