No decision has yet been made on how the $10,000 will be spent but Gary Brown, community development director told the Chronicle that it will take more than $10,000 to do what the neighborhood wants. He said his department is still in the process of talking with the residents and some decision should be made next month. He said the money was intended for neighborhood clean up because there are several lots in the area that are weeded or covered with trash. See Page 8 - ? i ' i it At most times of the day, 1 am a fairly normal person. But when the theme music begins to soar and the silver o ? space ship streaks across the screen, I become gripped by a single obsessive mania - I am a "trekkie." One can imagine my delight when 1 found that "Startrek" would become a movie. The feeling heightened when the screenplay actually came to town. My wildest expectations about the movie were met. Cat>t., now Adm., Kirk was as bold as ever, 4'Bones" and "Scotty" were their cranky old selves and commander Spock was as unflappable as ever. It did not even matter that the movie climax was lifted almost completely from an old television episode (fellow "trekkies" will remember Nomad), for most of us watch the episodes over and over again. One matter did disturb me - Starfleets affirmative action plans or the lack of such. Ten years later, after Kirk had become an admiral in charge of Starfleet operations, and Spock and Bones had gone on to retirement, Lt. Uhuru was still the communications officer, Lt. Sulu was still glued to the helm and another ?' Vulcan had replaced Spock as science officer. ^ It is enjoyable to look at the future but scriptwriters should realize that we wi|l never make it there unless artificial barriers among TMjople are" stricken down.
