This novice tournament was '

composed of seven weight

lbs. 181 lbs. 198 lbs. 220
lbs. and 242 lbs Each weight
class had three lifts— squat,
_ bench press and deadlift.

During the squat lift the.

lifter raised the bar on his
' shoulders while backing out of
the rack. Once motionless, he
was required to squat on
command and face the referee
, at all times.
> The .,.squatter could not
bounce out of the squat and
the center of his tights- had to
‘be': below parallel bar. His

hands could not move on .the -

ban and he was required to
wait for the signal of command
' to rack

hands could not be more than

32 Inches apart. The lifters

 

d» _ed the residents to take Speech

the bar at arm’s length, and

“Best Offer. Geing"

By Mike 'Jolner'

- What’s an FCDC? As the
picture clearly'shOWS, it’s a
work camp. In all actuality the
picture ofGlendale Tooley and
Dewey Parker is. of them
,working‘ona tree which the

'Futuristic Jaycees of the”

'Frankfort Career Development
, Center undertook to cut up as

a chapter _money making pro-

ject.

Nonetheless, the point re-
mains that FCDC is in fact, a
work camp providing services
to various offices of the state
government. The Frankfort

'Detail, as it is called, performs

such tasks as picking up trash,
maintaining buildings, assist-
ing'the state police. landscap-
ing and providing personnel
for both ,of the governor’s
mansions. It also provides
cafeteria workers, painters,
electricians and moving crews.

Also on the career develop-
ment side, are several men
working for the Department-of
Finance Print Shop. Whereas
. some of these men are exper-
ienced printers, there are
some novices learning a new
skill. .

Population stays at about
seventy men who occupythree
dorms. The dorms, kitchen,
dining room, pool room, TV

room. CCU. conference rooin,

administrative offices, laundry
room and weight room are all
housed under.~one roof. A

separate ‘ building for visitors _~

is located behin'd'the main unit

in the picnic area. Activities
.consist of volleyball,

basket-
ball and softball teams which
-compete in the Frankfort ‘Re-
creational League. An active
AA, Jaycees, GED and college'
program is offered at FCDC.

Of course, all these activities-

are after hours'programs.
In short, a perfect place to,
kill some time?.WRONG! Like

other camps, _FCDC has its'

problems.- We :haVe a level
system that’s fairly reason-
able. However, level achieve~
ment is another question.
Minor rule infractions are met
with write- -up_s resulting in
extra duty.’Not so miner rule
violations are met. with
shackles and a fast trip to LA.

An overall ‘view Would indi-

cate that as far asthe prison‘

system is concerned, FCDC is

the best offer going. However, .

like all .places'there are those
who would wish to be el-se-.
where. Most current residents

are content to’ remain .at least

until the parole board meets.

the end of time? I wrestle with so many oppressions, that steadfastly try
to hold me in bondage. But in their chains I seek to find their weakest
link. There’s always thirst after I take a drink of» life’s turmoil and
confusion, but I strive with endurance of an eagle in flight with eyes of‘a
hawk throughout day and night, with ears that bear, footsteps closing in
from a distance. Sometimes when in thought. I wonder, are they after my
