trrhat about FCC? Each de-partment had to take a cut ofsome type. Perhaps you noticedthe Rampage did not publish thefirst week of classes. Why? lVetook a 10 per cent cut, losing ourfirst and last issues of eachsemester. To us this is a highprice to pay for lower taxes.

Four top comedies are playingin Fresno.

"Aninral House," a film fromthe National Lampoon people, isa riotous, slapstick farce oncollege days in the early 60'sJohn (Saturday Night Live)Belúshi stars as the beer-guzzling Bluto, along withDonald Sutherland, Tim Mathe-son and John Vernon.

Belushi and Matheson aremem')ers of a frat called theDeltas. The Deltas are a bitcrazy, stealing a horse and takingit to the Dean's office, doing apeeping Tom number and havingtoga parties and food fights.Sutherland plays a pot-smokinginstructor. Vernon portrays aDean that is a bit too evil.

All in all, "Animal House" is afilm you will either love or hate.

"Heaven Can 1Vait," a film byWarren Beatty and starringBeatty, is about a football player

' who meets an untimely deathbecause an angel (Buck Henry) isover-anxious. Therein lies theplot. Beatty is given a new body,the body of a rich man justmurdered by his wife andsecretary (Dyan Cannon andCharles Grodin).

Beatty has a field day as asincere but at times oafish andconfused Pendleton. The movie isa delicious treat and Beatty fanswill not be disappointed.

Neil Simon has another hitunder his belt with "The CheapDetective." It has everything -one-liners, nostalgia, a bevy ofbeauties, a crop of bad guys, amurder and tons of laughter.

Peter Falk heads a fine castthat includes Dom Deluise,Marsha Mason, Abe Vigoda,Louise Fletcher and Ann-Margret.

Blake Edwards and PeterSellers have teamed up again tomake a hilarious "Revenge OfTh€ Pink Panther."

Sellers portrays the bumblingInspector Clouseêu once more, inthe tradition of the other"Panther" movies. Herbert Lomas Chief Inspector CharlesDreyfus, whom Clouseau liter-ally drove crazy, returns also.Clouseau's disguises are asoutrageous as ever. The movie isloaded with slapstick and the plotis as bizarre as the disguises.

Robert Loggia and DyanCannon are excellent in support-ing roles.

All four movies are well worthseeing.

Better medicolpfogfom needed

No one likes to go into a hospital, but at some time in your lifeyou .will probably have to. Going into the hospital is anexpensive venture.

The average cost ofa room in a hospital is between $120 and$135 a day, and $310 for intensive care.

Obviously this. is a great deal of mone¡ Not many familiescan handle this expense, especially if they are not insured.

When you include the,cost of the doctor, operating room,anesthesiologist, lab, X-ray, and nurses, and a dozen otherservices, the cost could go from $2,000 to $20,000 and more for ashort stay, People uninsured can easily go deep into debt.

It's time the government formed a group to help people whocannot afford the costs, with either free or low-cost medicalservice.

England has a medical plan that's been working for a goodmany years. In oùher countries, the same type of program isworking well. Then-why not Amer{ca? We are always being toldhow rich the government is. Why then do we not have a bettermedical plan?

Even after being released from the hospital the bill is stillhigh for prescribed drugs.

We need a better medieal program and it's time is past due.
