^®ntieth century. This narrative
^nrerica being built on the found-

f'he f*®°Pfes who emigrated here,
opens with Joseph and
J upciia Willi juacpii and Anna
®’ French-Italian peasants, who
Lat promised land, “America.”

a new “friend” who speaks
offers to change their French
*j>ey j fnto American dollars. Later,
that he gave them only one-
Nufih their money would have
honest exchange. “Joseph
L als ho had been cheated, and
that there was nothing
rt do about it. He learned that the
of being cheated, put upon,
gl’ bamboozled, was an intricate
'he existence in America of two
who spoke no English and
I relatives nor friends.”
*^®fr money was gone and
‘^otild find no work. They were
''ffefg > J ed by a labor contractor who
.joseph a job building the Atchi-
droad. They were desperate so
they signed on, although it meant travel
ing seven days in a drafty boxcar, to
California. Anna’s child, a son, was
born in the boxcar and named Daniel.
Joseph saved enough money to buy a
fishing boat and the family settled in
San Francisco. Jospeh and Anna were
killed in the San Francisco earthquake
and fire. Daniel was saved because he
had been out on the fishing boat.
Feng Wo, a Chinese man, waited for
Daniel. He spoke to no one and asked
no questions. In 1910, Chinese lived by
sufference in California and Feng Wo
was wary and alert at all times. He had
not eaten in three days and he had a
wife and daughter to care for. He made
a desperate plea for employment as a
bookeeeper and Daniel took him on.
Daniel now had three boats and eleven
men on the payroll.
Feng Wo took over, not only as book
keeper but as houseboy and cook. Daniel
had decided that the difference * Nob
Hill and the Embarcadero was the dif
ference between those who worked the
boats and those who owned the boats.
He decided that he was going to own a
lot of boats. It was just a matter of time.
Mark Levy was a ship’s Chandler. His
wife hated the business so he put up his
store as collateral and went into business
with Daniel.
When World War I came, they went
into shipping on a large scale and made
a lot of money. Daniel married a San
Franciscan socialite heiress and had a
family. As time went on Daniel became
estranged from his wife and got caught
up in an affair with Feng Wo’s daughter.
He realized that he had no love for his

What Energy Crisis? - Despite Presi
dent Carter’s declaration of the energy
battle this country must fight, Ameri
cans apparently have not heeded his
call to arms, at least if Federal Energy
Administration (FEA) reports are
any indication. According to the FEA,
for the month ending in mid-August,
American oil consumption had increas
ed eight percent over the same time last
year. As expected, a large part of the
increase was due to summer vacation
ing and increased road travel. but,
another fact appeared in the FEA
statistics. Heating oil purchases repre
sented an even greater part of the rise
in consumption, as industries short on
natural gas shifted to the easiest avail
able alternative source. Because of
strikes and other afflictions, the coal
industry has not been able to raise
production to the level needed to
supply the nation with the fuel which
Carter had foreseen as the energy
“ace in the hole”.
Freshmen Class Officers Election -
by Becky Davenport. The Election and
Open Forum Committee would like to
take this opportunity to thank all the
candidates and voters in the Freshman
class Election for the support of their
class.
It was a very close election. All the
students had a lot of support but after
all the votes were counted, this was the
outcome: President: David Atkinson;
Vice President: David Goin; Secretary:
Donna Mitchell; Treasurer: Mary Pink
ston; Senators: Richard Heaton, Pam
Kelley, Marcia Parker, James Holmes,
David Gatch, Evelyn Dellinger, Ann
McKay.
It has really been a pleasure working
with this class. Thanks again for your
hard work. It was great to see a Fresh
men Class, or any class, with as much
enthusiasm as these students have. You
have a lot of opportunities and hard
work in front of you so keep the spirit
and support your class . . . The Class
of’81.
The newly elected Freshman Class Of-
licers are as follows: President: David
Atkinson, Vice President: David Goins,
Secretary: Donna Mitchell, Treasurer:
Mary Pinkston. The new Senators are:
wife but he hesitated to divorce her
because her background and her cool,
blonde, “WASP” good looks were a
symbol of his success to him. Also he
finds that May Ling would not be wel
come in his circle even if he married
her so the situation just drifted until
the Depression when he suffered a series
of financial reverses that left his wife
controlling most of the stock in his
business. She wrote him off as a bad
loss and demanded a divorce herself.
Thus, he was broke but he was free to
marry May Ling and recognize the son
he had by her. Oddly enough, he felt as
though a burden had been lifted from his
shoulders. He had been a success in a
world that he really had no respect for
and little love for. He had proved that
he could do it but it had given him
little pleasure.

He started back in the fishing business
on a very small scale and settled down
to enjoy the rest of his life with his wife’s
family around him. Daniel’s life had been
a classic American “success” story.
This success had not fulfilled him but,
nevertheless, only in the melting pot of
America could he have had the chance to
attempt his climb to the top. In Italy he
would have been frozen into place. He
was born a peasant and he would have
died a peasant.
All of the characters in this novel
used the opportunity America afforded
them to change their lives and choose
their own paths. If these paths did not
make them very happy, well, the Decla
ration of Independence only guarantees
the "pursuit of happiness” not happiness
itself.
