Women's softball: pitching strength^
BY BOB MILLS
Staff-reporter
Some good advice for coaches
of first-year teams ls, get used
to losing because you'll be doing
plenty of It, The lack of experience is Just too much to over- .
So when CSUF women's soft-
ball coaches Jan Rlntala and
Pat Gaveilo claim their first-
year team is tbe conference's
best (the conference includes UC
Berkeley, USF and UOP) and their
most valuable asset ls experience, you have to wonder about
their sanity.
Take, for example, John McKay
and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
of the National Football League.
They  didn't  win a game until
midway through their second sea -
Fortunately though, CSUF
softbaU Is on a different track,
sporting a 10-1 record in non-
conference play. That's right,
10-1, not 1-10. And even more
amazing, no earned runs or
extra-base hits have been given
up aU season.
'Hustlers' on campus..
In the understatement of the
year, Pat GaveUo says, "Pitching is one of our strong points."
Carolyn Norris and RosleGarcie
are the team's miracle workers
on tbe mound.
But that's not aU. "The good
defense," says Rlntala, "backs
up the good pitching.    And we

The DaUy CoUeglan
Opinion
Smoking ordinance draws support,opposition
Pro
toy one whose nose wrinkles, lungs
tingle, or feelings bristle when a
flit ot cigarette smoke finds her or
HO across a crowded room, can take
safari from state legislation effective
sUce April 1977 which reqair-- -.hat at
last 20 percent of public buildings and
!0 percent of food-service areas in
«*m be dtslgnated non-smoking areas.
Before I knew about the legislation,
I tad seen "No Smoking" signs posted
b the annex of tbe CoUege Union Coffee
,i:p, hut thought they were In response"
_ requests or common sense.
One day while there, I got a whiff
i smoke, and looked up to see the
sip, hoping to overcome by temerity
ecijgh to point it out to the offender
tetlndme.
Seeing no sign, I thought, aha, again
tbe p-ith of least resistance was taken
ul that army (I use the word advisedly
Realise more and more public smoking
seems an act of aggression to me) oi
siakers had won because It Is.easler
_ ignore than enforce such a policy.
Checking with College Union Director
Earl Whitfield, however, I learned
tat the poUcy is indeed in effect but
tot the non-smoking section had been
■ortd to the west half of the coffee shop
•stead, hoping to keep smokers from
e_terlng tbe food serving area, which
_ oo the west side, with lit cigarettes
All of this concern about cigarette
note may seem excessive In view of
_1 Ihe other sources of pollution --per-
ips more hazardous ones.
I hare walked along Cedar Avenue to
_r car some days with a Kleenex tissue
_i!d to my nose, hoping to ward off
me of the cadmium, sulfur, and what-
rer else assails us.
But there is something abouta stream
! smoke Insidiously moving towards
n that seems a personal affront.
Whitfield warned there Is no way to
enforce tbe poUcy except by peer sroup
pressure.
"Pretty soon people get uncomfortable
If people around them start staring,
or say, 'Can't you read?*."
I spotted three smokers In the west
side of tbe coffee shop. Perhaps tbey
didn't see the sign. Perhaps they
didn't see me look their way (I couldn't
muster/a glower).
I thought of waiting to catch their
eyes and pointing upward to the sign
or walking over to politely inform them.
But I couldn't muster the assertlve-
ness, maybe because I'm an "older"
student, not a peer, and feared I might
elicit more resentment than cooperation.
Now those of us whose eyes smart
and sinuses rebel need only to take an
assertiveness training courseI
Semi-Con
(quit smoking 17 years ago.
Having  got rid of an addiction to
nicotine which I had for more than 30
years,   I  naturaUy have some strong
feelings about smoking.
I dislike the smell of cigarettes or
pipes or cigars, rrnparticu-irlybothered by the smell of smoke In a closed-
car. I find tbe smoking habit unattractive,  and   Pm  glad   I got over mine.
But, Tm not about to tell you to quit,
and I certainly don't think It's tbe
business of Health, Education, and Welfare Secretary Joseph Callfano to tell
you or me to quit smoking.
I   resent the moral superiority that
many  non-smokers   develop.     We
who do not smoke are not more godly
saintly than those who do. Nor
have we been anointed by God to correct
others  and bring them into the fold.
If you Uve in society at aU and mix
with other people, you nave to put up
with Inconveniences. The discomfort of
non-smokers mingling among smokers
is no worse than having to sit next to
people who have body odor or bad
breath —and there are plenty of these.
Many restaurants are making an effort
to set aside smoking and non-smoking
areas. This may work in some cases,
but what about those restaurants which
are too small for this kind of sectioning
off? Besides, In any party of four you're
bound to find one or two who smoke.
I live and work among smokers. But
frankly I don't believe their smoking
will cause me any particular harm
unless, perhaps, Iwereimprisonedalone
In an unventllated room with 20 steady
prffers for many years.
The Federal government's attempt to
stop smoking ls another example
of institutionalized busybody-ism. It Is
abhorrent and two-faced. For example,
if we were to go to war tombrrow, do
you have any doubt that Uncle Sam would
make sure that the men In the trenches
were amply supplied with cigarettes?
Take another example -the government's "concern" over drinking. It
ls against the rules for hard liquors to
be advertised on television. But, beer
and wine get special treatment —to a
point. Have you ever noticed the ads
where the gang winds up a big day's
job and gathers around to "grab a little
gusto" with a round of beers?
Then comes the catch: under the rules
none of the revelers can be shown
actually drinking the stuff. Just what
ls the message that the government
Is   trying  to  convey?     It beats me.
Tbe decision whether or not to smoke
or to drink ls a personal one.
Many smokers have a genuine addiction
to nicotine; they really need tobacco.
I know; I did for many years. If you
want to smoke, that's up to you. U
you want to quit, there is plenty of help
But whatever you decide, it's none of
Secretary Califano's business.

Womens declaration
of independence urged
Admittedly on a media tour
to push ber latest book, psychologist and feminist Dr. Phyllis Chester urged a women's
' "declaration of independence"
during a Women's Forum II lecture la";t week.
"What feminism has said In
the last 10 to 15 years Is equivalent to what many men in the
19th century said w!i_& they became Marxists or existentialists
or Darwinians."  Chesler said.
This declaration of independence says "there Is no male
god' with a long wulte beard
in heaven, and that man ls not
God to women here on earth."
But, according to Chester, It
is not easy to say, " ' I wiU
die for what I believe in.' It
ls difficult to face tbe reality
that says, 'If; Little Girl, you ,
wish to overthrow me, Big Dad-''
dy, you VflU have to fight me.'
lfs very difflcuit to Uve with
that every day."
Chesler contends that feminism as an ideology promises
something that no other belief
does. It promises a change
In tbe treatment of women by
other -women, she said, claiming
that sisterhood Is not a reaUty.
Women are compassionate and
altruistic to menandsmaU children —but not to other women.'*
Groups of men wUl kill a
weak man, but groups of women
' Whenever another woman'
"dares make a break for freedom, tbe woman closest to the
door trips her, and the other
woman knifes her."
But It need not be done with
knives, Chester said. It can
be achieved In more subtle ways.
When one woman is raped, another says, " 'She deserved to
get raped.' " When a woman
ls not promoted, it's ber fault
--" 'She    was too   goddamned
Even friends try to keep
women from progressing. When
a woman needs help or comfort, her friend will say, " 'I
know Just what you need; let
me get you a cup of tea.' "
But, if a woman says she ls
optomlstic and ls determined to
make something of ber life, the
other Is appalled, Chesler said.
She also said that Just as a
starving person's stomackswel-
ls, women get pregnant because
they are starving —starving for
the love and nourishment they
faU to get from parents, teachers
or husbands. So they bearcnild-
ren.
And when those children do
not emulate their mothers, "We
shame them and hold them back,
and then we don't know them."
