What’s all the rage about ‘roids?
Robert Martinez, head of the
foreign language center, is currently completing
a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology and
writing his dissertation on Anabolic Steroids.
The thesis is titled, “The Psychological
and Physiological effects of Anabolic and Androgenci
Steroids. ”This seems to be a very hot topic
in the news today, and he is trying to dispel
some of the myths that are associated with its
usage. For information on his next lecture on
this subject, you can e-mail him at LRM7420@dcccd.edu,
or join the Fitness and Bodybuilding Club, which
he advises.
Blast from the Past

face.
The pie-faced professor was voted by students
last semester as “Full-time Faculty of
the Year.”
