The Battle of Cowpens
A FEATURE-LENGTH MOTION picture, entitled "The Battle of Cowpens,* began filming
Saturday on a farm 10 miles east of Fresno. The film is the brainchild of Robert Billings,
chairperson of the English Department, who wrote the screenplay and is producing the film.
The movie, which includes several hundred CSUF student volunteers, depicts the Revolutionary War battle that Billings says changed the course of American History. In the picture
above, some British soldiers march in preparation for battle with the Yanks. The film is an
approved project of the American Revolutionary Bicentennial Commission of California
and a non-profit enterprise being financed jointly by CSUF and San Joaquin Bicentennial
Film Association. (Photos by Joe Ipsaro)

Criminology instructor Robert Saake, were asked

and Society,* was offered through the Experimental
College Feb. 20-21.
Broken down by sex, percentages'ran about the
same. Out of 102 females, 56 per cent were In
favor of legalization, 28 per cent were against

The 85 males In the class favored the legalization by 61 per cent, with 32 per cent against and

The papers were written following two days of

The prostitute's life Is not an easy one, according to Saake. He presented the class with several
case histories of prostitutes to emphasize the fact.

The Ideal prostitute has 'the savvy of 8 40-year-

Many women get into prostitution for either
glamor, excitement, travel or money, Saake said.
A prostitute earning $20 a trick (customer) and
turning five pricks a day on 20 days a month can
make $£,000 a month, tax free.
