No. 108 ^ á 'iiN lano Daly — Tom V M o e lA newly-formed river Is washing away valuable topsoil In one of Cal Poly’s agriculture fields across from Cuesta College.Storms inflict damage on agriculture projectsby Frand Van BrockinSliHW fttirThis winter’s rainfall has brought significant setbacks and few benefits for Cal Poly’s agricultural enterprise projects, a Cal Poly crop science professor said.Corwin M. Johnson, the head of Cal Poly’s Crop Science Department, said the 40 inches of rainfall caused the loss of three vegetable projects. 'The lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower projects went unplanted while students waited for the fields to dry. Johnson noted the loss was not so much a monetary loss as it was a loss of student opportimity.Other crops which are being planted now have been affected by the delay. Project members generally seed tomatoes directly in the field in the middle of February so that the tomatoes will be on the market in July. Because of the wet field conditions, the tomato plants must be transplanted to the field, an expensive process. Additionally, the late planting shortens the marketing season, providing less opportunities for the crop to be sold than longer seasons provide, Johnson said.In terms of field crops, Johnson said the rainfall prevented weed control in oat hay and grain crops. Consequently, the field crop projects will yield less than weed free crops would and bring in less money on the marketplace.Also, water standing around the roots for many days sets back the growth of the plants. Johnson noted in some areas the entire grain crop was lost because of standing water.With the setback in growth, the effects of disease were compoimded in the field crops. ’The slow growing plantswere not as hardy as normal plants would be in resisting disease. Mildews, rusts, barley stripe and yellow dwarf were major diseases brought on by the heavy rainfall. However, these will not carry over into the next year’s crop provided the next year brings normal rainfall, Johnson said.Although the excessive water may have hurt the fruit trees somewhat, the fruit crops did not suffer from the storms as much as the other crops did. The almond trees will produce fewer almonds than in years of normal rainfall because the winter storms disrupted their blooming period, Johnson said. Other fruit trees bloom later in the year and will not have this problem.'The delay in planting, caused by waiting for the fields to dry, has produced a backup of work. 'The work that would normally be spread out over two months now must be done in two weeks. The delay has.also created a shortage of equipment as the students race to get back on schedule.Along with the high demand for the equipment, Johnson anticipated breakdowns of the machinery since it will be in use from dawn until dusk to prepare the seedbeds. The breakdown will put the students further behmd in their planting schedules.Because of the push to get projects underway, seedbeds for summer crops will not be prepared as well as they sl^ould be. However, Johnson noted that any inadequacies in seedbed preparation should be evened out in the total results ova* the summer.Despite the heavy rainfall, no serious erosion of the soil took place, Johnson Ptease see page 3Music major studied in Academic SenateIn a special session Tuesday, the Academic Senate passed a measure requesting a study of the steps involved in implementing a music major at Cal Poly-The senate also heard an address by President Warren Baker and discussed the report of the senate General Education and Breadth Committee.At last week’s meeting, the senate voted to support a Cal Poly music major. The senate voted 'Tuesday “to request the Vice President of Academic Affairs to investigate the means by which a music major could be implemented without being detrimental to other majors on campus.”'The senate did not vote on the recommendations of the General Education and Breadth Committee report. The committee’s majority report recommended the formation of a standing committee to supervise revision of GE courses, recommendation of new GE courses, revision of the entire GE program on a regular basis, approval of GE course substitution, faculty advising, and transfer evaluations.'The new standing committee wouldhave the powo* to regulate these areas and would report through the Academic Senate to the vice president of Academic Affairs, Tomlinson Fort, Jr.Three members of the 11 member General Education and Breadth Committee issued^ a minority report disagreeing with' the adoption of a standing committee on the grotmds that it would be an needless addition of bureaucracy.The senate will discuss the report at a special session next week along with a scheduled discussion of a student- initiated add/drop p natura wnling, a n v l r o n m a n l a l p h llo ao p h y , fie ld apology.

Listening. “I ’ve heunl old-tim«’s speak with their heads full of dreams and remembrances/’ says LaVine. "and one day it occurred to me that I ’d lived here 17 years before discovering Montana da Orol’’ She decided to open a tour agency devoted to unveiling local attractions. —Described by others as a / ’zany, upbeat English woman who crackles with energy,’’ a wide-eyed LaVine will tell you. “There’s really lots to learn about this area.’’A sage of sagas, she recounts area trivia such as: the only California Latino govoDor was bom in an adobe off of Los Osos Valley Road, cattle rustlers once operated near Cambria, rum-runners worked off of Morro Bay, and there once existed a vigilante society to clean up the rampant robberies that took place on the dangerous CabriHo Highroad.’"rhere was a shootout in Cayucos that defies anything the O.K. Corral ever did. Sir Francis Drake was on a voyage of e^loration when he stole gedd from the Spanish and it’s buried in coves along t t e coast,’’ LaVine said excitedly. “This is a very interesting place.’’, Not feeling that her enterprise was competition for the other touring agencies such as Odyssey ’Fours or San Simeon 'Travel, LaVine embarked .upon the idea of a personalized, localized touring company. Anja Tours has been together for two months, and,she is already swamped with sightseeing demands.LaVine is hardly new a t the game. Her first American employment (she has lived in the county for 20 years) was a t the Tom Rice Travel Agency in San Luis Obispo. She booked tours until the birth of her daughter, Robin, which postponed her tour agent days for some years.Now she’s back at it. LaVine claims the most exhaustive, costly thing in her new venture has been theDesign Village strives for best structureThe Cal Poly annual Design Village competition and three-day conference will take place in Poly Canyon beginning today. ,The omipetition includes designing, promoting, building, tranq[x>rting and inhabiting a structure. Lectures, seminars and workshops will also be heldinthearea. -----^The conference first began in 1974 to research suu- tions for low-cost disaster relisf shdtsrs. Since then, the annual student conference«ompetition for west coast schools has broadened to include research through experimentation with matsriala, structures and themes.The conference theme for 1983 is^ ’’Ra- tionalism/Romantidsm: design in conflict.’’ Structures entered for the con^Mtition will be placed in the categmy of either rationalism or romanticism according to the representation of the philosophy, theories.and design process.Six sections of Architecture 203 are p a r tk ^ tin g in the Poly Royal competition. “We’re having a lot of fun. At first it was a big hassle, but now we’re getting into it,” said second year architecture student, 'Ihomas Lim, as he worked on his covered wagon shaped structure.In addition to providing a comfortable living space, each student must protect its inhabitants from rain and moderate winds. Students w^l spend the weekend in Poly .Canyon.The criteria for judging is the articulation of design, effective innovation, habituality and accomnoodation, responsiveness to site and environmental factors and quality of craftsmanship. Awards will be given for ek- cellence, superior achievement, honorable mention and “People’s Choice.’’eiqienditure of energy, likening herself to Sisyphus. “I just keep on pushing!’’she dsclared cheerfully.’The Anja Tours’ passengers travel by way of a 16- passengw Ford bus. “ I t’s very cdmfortable and has air conditioning, heat, spacious window area, and proper seats,’’ LaVine declared, adding she doesn’t like to carry more than 12 passengers at a time (“in the little red bus with California flags”) so people will have more room and become better acquaint^ irith each other.A true people lover, the energetic LaVine says people always have a good time on her tours and she reidly enjoys entertaining them. She operates her tour company out of her Los Osos home and is offering three spedal tours during Poly Royal weekend. Ready to ac- conunodate visitors, she says transportation can be easily arranged.April 22: ’There are two Hearst Castle tours offered. Tour 1 lasts from 8 a.m. until 12:45 pjn.. with excursions to Harmony and Cambria. Tour 2 lasts from 2 P4n. to 6:15 p.m. ’The 826 price includes the tickets to the Castle tour.April 23: LaVine offers two “Tour of the Pecho (Spanish for pillows) Coast" tours which host the outstanding coastal scenery of Morro Bay and a visit to Montana de Oro State Park. Tour 1 leaves San Luis Obispo from 9 a.m. and returns at 12:30 p.m. and Tour 21astsfrom 1:30p.m. until 5 p jn .’The price is $12.’These two days she offers half-day tours in case visitors wish to take in part of the Poly Royal activities.April 24: ’The “All Day Happy ’Tims Wine Tasting Tour” visits the Paso Robles wineries and offers a lunch stop at the Paso Robles Inn. ’This tour lasts from 9 a jn . until 5 pm . and costs $30.LaVine anticipates many responses, so those interested in attending any of t ^ excursions should make reservations early. ’The Anja Tours phone number is 628-6656.Bus shuttle to run City girl comes to Poly country to win during Poly RoyalFrom pagesconclusion of the national championships she had All- America status in a trio of events — 100, 4x100 relay and 4x4(X) relay. She teamed with Eloise Mallory. Janet Yarbrough and Arisen Van Warmerdam to win the 4x100 national title in a school record 46.14. Holland was in a foursome »•ith Liz rVMi^s, Van Warmerdam and Mallory as they placed second in the 4x400 relay in a school record 3:40.89. In her lone individual event, the 1(X). Holland finiahed third in 12.01. Along with being a part of the aforementioned school records, Holland also owns the 100 mark at11.63 and is a membsr of the 4x200 school record relay squad.HoDimd has qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships to be held in Cape Girardeau, MO. May 23-28 in four events - 100 (11.89), 200 (24.25). 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Hsr 200 time is justfive-one-hundreths of a second off her personal record. She has also run the open 400 in 67.14. The 4(X) is the event Holland could easily do without.“I hate it," she said some five or six times. “In high school I ran the quartm- one time because my coach couldn’t find a last 1^. Ever since then it’s beoi forced upon me. When I came here, coach didn’t ask me to run it, he told me. I t’s too long and I hurt too bad after it.“I haven’t been running too well in the 100 this year. After 60 yards I start fading. I t ’s from lack of weights and not doing the drills. Hopefully, at the end of the yekr everything wiU click together. I have been running pretty good times in the 200 lately. In the (4x100) relay I’m running the first leg and I feel back home again. Last year I was running the second leg and I didn’t feel too comfortable with that."Getting comfortable is something Holland — nicknamed the Tazmanian Devil by her teammates — had to do when she moved to San Luis Obispo from Los Angeles.“I like this environment," she said. “I t ’s away from the d ty . Sometimes I do get bored here. In LA th en is something to do at any time of the night you want to do it. ’There’s no distractions up here. It wasn’t hard to adjust."Holland came to Cal Poly and head coach Lance Harter after recriving letters from such places as A rizona, N orth ridgs , Bakwsfield, Oregon and New Mexico.“At the end of the year I had no place in mind where I wanted to go,” said Holland, who will compete Saturday in the Inaugural Poly Royal Invitational against Fresno State and UC Santa Barbara with her teammates, minus Amy Harper, Yarbrough andDanella Barnes who will compete at the Mt. SAC Relays the same day. Saturday’s meet on the Mustang oval wfll commence at 11 am ., with the first running event at noon.“My high school coach and the assistant coach went to school here. We drove up here at the end of the summer and I Uksd what I saw.”And ’Through a year-and- a-half of competition, people like what they have sem so far of Tamela Holland.Parking congestion at Poly Royal has prompted a shuttle service between Madonna I^aza and the Cal Poly campus.Erick Wand, Promotional Director of the Madonna Road Plaza Shopping Center, conceived the shuttle idea three years ago. He feels it is just another step towards consolidation of relations between the Cal P(^ ly University and local merchants.In cooperation with Cliff Young, Director of Security and ’Transportation for Poly Royal, and Dave Elliott, Administrative Assistant for SIX) ’Transit, Wand has arranged that the shuttle service, which costs 604 each way, will operate on April 22 and 23, from 9 am . to 6 p.m. between Sears, in Madonna Road Plaza, and the Cal Poly Clock Tower building. .Every 30 minutes the Poly Royal Shuttle will complete a round trip bet ween tbs two depots, and the last departure from the Cal Poly Tower b u i ld ^ will be at 4:46 pm .Mustang DailyE^torial Board RomAm Wm U, £di(or \JmIjt Lmta, Managing Editor Naaejr L«wk.

These services are offered year- round; Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. They rarely cost additional money.Basic services include such outpatient ewe as doctor and nursing services, routine X-rays, mental health and family planning services, and laboratory tests. Also free are health education programs in nutrition, alcohol and drug abuse, self-care, family planning, and specialty clinics dealing with dermatology, gynecology, and orthopedics.The Health Center also provides free required immunizations for people who are going overseas or are taking certain biology and microbiology classes that involve contact with disease-causing organisms.Health card services are paid for with the $27 per quarter purchase price of the health cards. These services include free inpatient care in the 14-bed infirmary, 24-hour emergency care, subsidy of ambulance bills, free required physical examinations, allergy injections and elective immunizations, evaluations ofstuden ts’ -physical therapy and podiatrie attention needs, health risk appraisals, and a free oral health program. -The Health Center also runs a pharmacy where students can buy prescriptions at a cost. According to Nash, the phwmacy drugs we less expensive than .normal wholesale prices because they we bought through state contracts that include the two state university systems and state prisons, l^kes are also kept down because the Health Center cannot chwge for bottles and containers.For health card holders, the prices are even cheaper becuase they get a 10 percent discount on prescriptions.All health cwd services are available to non-ewd carrying students on a fee basis with the exception of physical examinations. The fees are still about half of what doctors in town would chwge, according to Nash. For example, after- hours care, laboratory, and X-ray services cost at least $15 for non-health card holders at Cal Poly. The same services would cost $50 and up at a' community medical establishment.But Nash said the Health Center has neither the money nor personnel to handle the work load if they gave physical examinations to everyone who wanted them."Everybody who goes here should buy a health card once for their preemployment physical (which is required by some companies), ’’ Nash said. He added physicals are also required in order to go on ^m e trips overseas and some classes." I t ’s amazing, the number of people who go overseas now,” Nash said. "Like the architecture trip to Denmark.

'I^is has been a bone of contention between the athletic department and the Health Center, according to Nash because the athletic department gets more than it gives.“We get $8,000 a year from the athletic depwtment, and we figure we give them $60,000 in services,” Nash said. "But they can’t afford to piay any more, so there’s not too much we can do”Before recent state budget cuts, the Health Center received approximately $1.5 million from the state and anotherJ$500,000 from health cwd sales and a; vwiety of other sources. The money from the state went mainly into employees’ salaries.But according to Nash, the money received from the state has been "chop- p>ed drastkaUy" by the cuts impwsed on the university. The result is that although the Health Center has continued to function, it has been unable to replace employees that have left. Consequently, the (Tenter has lost one doctor and the only health educator it ever had along with several other employees.Please see page 3FOODSFOR THEM M IIYNatural Food StFRESHFOR SALC^mResidential * Commercial • Income • Industrial570C Higuera In the Creamery544-5330Herb TeaMwMMigMhr AprfÌ22«23,1M« P«g» 3Muelang Deiy—Hephwile HneelRadiology technologist Gail Carey examines X-rays In the viewing room of Poly’s Health Center.

In addition, she works with dormitory resident directors and advisors in helping students arith problems, deals with victiips of anormda and other eating disorders, gives talks on eating disorders to campus and local community groups, and assists an eating disorder therapy group for female students which is run by the Health Center and counseling department."I'm just busy all the tune," Cirone said. "I don’t have any spare time. But I do what I can."Doing what they can is the Health Canter’s aim."If are are open, you can get anything you want,” Nash said.That is, up to a point. The center only does minor surgery, arhich Naeh said is mostly in the nature of repairing in juries and removing sldn tumors. 'When the first health center was built at .Cal Poly in 1969, it was the best equipped hospital in San Luis Obispo,and the first in the county to be accredited. The center performed some major surgery mostly in the nature of appendectomies, but decreased their role in major surgery with the arrival of French and Sierra Vista hospitals.Cal Poly presently employs seven doctors. thrm laboratory technicians, one full and oaa part-time X-ray technician.one full and one part-time pharmacist eight nurse practitioners, six registerec nurses, 12 clerical workers, and an ad ministrative assistant.To help keep employment costs within reach, the Health Center tries to en courage students with work-study grants to work in the center."We like to have students, whateverstatus," Nash said. "They usually work hard and they have good ideas. It's refreshing to have them around."Besides work-study employees, the Health Center keeps two live-in corp- spersons each year. These are pre- medical or^e^lental students who are given rooms and meals for working every other night in the wards, performing duties similar to those of clinical aides.“Besides helping with the work, they double as chaperones, l>ouncers, and general morale boosters for the night nurses,” Nash said.The corpsperson work is valuable for those trying to get into medical school. John Pevsner, one of this year's corp- spersons, said that all the past corpsper- sons who have applied in previous years have been accepted into medical school.‘It is just good experience,” Pevsner said. “ In our job we get a lot of patient contact. We get a lot of practice talking to people. That's what doctors Bo. And we learn a lot just followhig cases and watching the doctors and ;turses."Although a corpspersonship is notnecessarily "a ploy to get into medical school," Pevsner said “medical schools like people with that kind of experience." It is also a benefit financially." It's a big financial help while the student is in school," he said. “You don't have any rent, or food or transportation costs."> ' Í " e:[ i t Tvi ^ A 1 C ( K - U i 'A ' - A ; E rv \[]A^. ; , f J , T V$30.00S P E C I A L O F F E R I N C L U D E S :4•All N«c»t$afy X roy^ •Ctponing •Complete Intro Oral («om m otton ^•Diagnosis ond Corvultotton «OliNf* •C A LL 481-c a r e ’E .

It is, even though it is only about three feet long and one foot high.Cross’ architecture design lab project is a prime example of how students at Cal Poly learn through experience: via student projects such as his white cardboard study on interior lighting.Many courses incorporate projects within them, and the hiuMls-on method is both a popular and effective means of teaching and learning.Cross said he enjoyed the proje^ his instructor Erik Vartiainen assigned because, “you learn a lot about-the three dimensional qualities of things. You can ' see how light really reacts to (the structure! and how people react.” To measure , the hunumreaponse. Cross put eyeholes in each structure so thgt the sun lighting variations caused by a double row o t cohimns in one room or a s i n ^hole in a ceiling of another could be viewed. He also put tiny cardboard inhabitants inside to show scale.Vartiainen said his students were to “create five interior spaces with different lighting modes.” Cross wanted to achieve more than that, so he attempted to lead the visitor through the buildhig.“I was trying to devise a pathway so people would be drawn through to a succession of events,” Cross said. He did this by using hallways that went from light to dark or vice versa.The, choice of playing an -actor in **Hidnlet” seems ironically appropriate for Heidenreich, because stu* dent projects, ju s t like the play within a pla^, serve as experiences which are a recreation of the real world th a t aw aits Cal Poly graduates.<*f “events” a visitor would enjoy were Cross’ ¡»oject constructed in fuU scale would be a play in his evenly lighted amphitheatre space. Peeking through the eyehole, one can almost hear Hamlet uttering his soUiloquy: “To be or not to be, that is the question..,” For V Craig Heidenreich, ^ answer ‘was “to be.” A senior Elnglish major, Heidenreich saw a dream b ^ m e realityExcellence through Experience-when a production of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” under his direction was performed at the Cal Poly Theatre in February. The curtain closed on the last of three performances one year after Heidenreich proposed his idea to Speech Communication Professor Michael Malkin.“I went to Dr. Malkin and asked him if I could direct a ‘Hamlet,’ Heidenreich said. “He was very supportive.” Supportive even though, as Heidenreich ex- . plained, "They had never done anything like that before...given one of the (year’s) three major productions to a student.”One reason for the decision to let Heidenreich direct was, as both he and Malkin admitted, Heidenreich is "not your average un^graduate student.” Trained at the Juilliard School in New York for two years in drama, and a former apprentice and actor at San Diego’s Old Globe 'Theatre, Heidenreich is a theater veteran. (He confesses that he is older than the average Cal Poly student, but won’t say just how old he is.)Timing also had a good deal to do with the decision to go ahead with the proposal, Malkin said, because he is presently the only faculty director on the staff. He surrendered his monopoly in this instance, one of many requests to direct that Malldn claims he gets from students.Heidenreich “is a unique individual,” Malkin said, and his mroposal came “at a unique' time for the theater program A year earlier, it would have been more difficult.” Malkin said Heidenreich’s work as co-director on last year’s production of Shakespeare’s “A MidsumiXArchitecture student Nick Alabi peers into patterns. At the right is instructor Erik VariaKathy Roads, a child development ma glass in a lab near Kennedy Library.mer Night’s Dream” also impressed him.“The question became not why should I,” M all^ said, "but why shouldn’t I?” Heidenreich received academic credit for directing the play by doing it as his senior project. He spoke to his advisor. Dr. Robert McDonnell, and requested permission to direct as his senior project.“When this came up, and I did have the opportunity to do ‘Hamlet’,” Heidenreich said, “it only made sense for _ me to say, ‘Oh by the way. Dr. McDonnell, how are we going to work this so I can get credit for it?’“A number of them (English gnajors) write shori stories and those sorts oT things,” Heidenreich reasoned. ^‘And directing a play takes so much time, and so much effwt and so much study that it would be silly not to assume that you had done plenty for senior project credit.”Oenior projects began a t Cal Poly in 1940, when the bachelor’s program was initiated, said Associate Dean of Educational Services Donald Coats, whose duties include scheduling classes.Coats, who has been a t Cal Poly since 1947, said it was the philosophy of Julian McPhee, Cal Poly president from 1933 (o 1966, that students should demonstrate their learned abilities through "a culm inatin g project.” Coats noted Cal Poly ^«mpna is the only other state university with smior projects. This is because of the fact that imtil f967, the two campuses were one entity, and McPhee served as president for both schools. Coats said.PteeaeeeepafleSMMiMieDaHy ApfN22a2«.1M3 PHI»8i,-' Miwtano D*lly-«Da«id MMdtoeampa model Illustrating the influence building design has on lighting inen.t . f ]✓MhMm « DMy-DwM IH M m m ipjor, observes children through one wayFrom page 4A senior project, as defined by Cal Poly’s Campus Administrative Manual, is “a formal report of the results of a study or experiment selected and completed under facxilty supervision by each student prior to the receipt of the bachelor’s degree. 'The types of problems which form the bases of the study or experiment are directly related to the student’s fields of employment or intended employment.”Every department at Cal Poly requires a senior {woject of its students, as the campus manual stipulates. A minimum of 30 hours work per unit of credit la required, and students can earn from two to four units for a completed project, depending on their major.Heidenrekh, by “Hamlet” lighting designer Howard Gee’s estimate, devoted 525 hours to the production. Prior to this, immediately after getting the go ahead in February of 1982, Heidenrekh “sat down with the text” and cut 1,000 lines from the play—over one quarter of its content. His project was presented to the E n g ^ h department via a videotape of a dreas rehearsal and a short paper on his design concepts and their ultimate appearance in the play.Heidenrekh had directed some “little” plays while at JuilUard, but he said “Hanolet” was “by far the biggest endeavor I ’ve evo* done. I ’ve never had more fun in my life.”With his background in drama, Heideimich found his 17 cast members to be ‘Ithe'easiest cast I ’ve ever had to work with, in any respect. 'They all w a n te d „ re a lly b ad ly to doMiMtont DaSy— MWdlacainpLearning by doing is a motto spared by all CalPoly students.something...thBt big and that important. ’They worked with each other and for each other unselfishly.” |Russell Whaley, faculty member and set and costume designer for “Hamlet,” said the cast’s success was due to Heidenreich’s direction: “He brought a professional discipline to the production that was reflected in the way everyone worked. The work was pleasant simply because it was organized.”Heidenrekh, with all his responsibilities as director, also chose to portray the first player in “Hamlet.” This character leads a band of actors who recreate the real life murder of Hamlet’s father to indkt his mother, the queen and her new king.X he choice of {laying ap actor in “Hamlet” seems ironically appropriate for Heidenrekh, because student projects, just like the play within a play, serve as experiences which are a recreation of the real world that awaits Cal Po-IDairy manufacturing major Tom Chole unit. ^ly graduates.Such experknces can be as practical as Ken Molder's.

Molder once learned the process of making yogurt at the plant — for a special problems course.“One of tlK main reasons people work here is that you get experience with machinery just like that on the ‘outside’,” Mold«- said.

Smith’s Marketing Information and Analysis course. Four projects are assigned in a quarter, through which Smith puts each student "in the place of a product manager for a company putting out a new product.”In the first two projects. Smith explained, students research and become acquainted with specific secondary sources such as the U.S. Census, then analyze one industry hy means of these sources. The third project requires the students chooee a new product and define the 'ta rg e t m arket—the demographic group marketing efforts should be aimed at—in one city, ‘"rhey then develop a forecast of demand for that product in that market,” Smith said. 'The fourth project is to design a data collection form, usually a survey.Smith said survey research is done often both “out in the-real world” and in senior projects, therefore he gives his students experience in doing it and learning the various methods in which it can be «done. Fo\uth year business administration major Jackie Nicolas agreed that the class “was a good experience” and will help her prepare for her senior project.“Experience” is obviously the buzz- .word connected with every student project at Cal Poly. Whether doing work experience, class projects or senior 'projects, it is clear that Cal Poly students are preparing for their careers in a microcosm whkh allows them a practice shot before the real game begins.T MiMtafif Daly A|Ml22A23,1tnPoly Royal board pulls together weekend eventbjr Kriatan Simon StaNWrItafHere you are a t Cal Poly, possibly experiencing POIy Royal for the Hrst time.

But who is it that makes the Mustang character come to life?Yvonne Barber is the energetic force within and behind the mascot. When Barber first came to Cal Poly there was no mascot.“I was a mascot in h i ^ school, but I had always wanted to be a college mascot. It was sort of this dream I had," she explained.“So with help from ASI, the athletic department,.and the Alumni Association in the form of donations, I raised the $600 needed for the costume.”The Mustang character was designed by Barber and her brother Chuck Barber, a cartoonist for the Mustang Daily, and was sent to a professional, for the actual snipping and sewing.And that’s how it all began. Barber has been a part of the cheerieading squad since January 1982. Her plana are to continue "having fun” and "entertaining the crowds” as mascot until she graduatee.Although Barber is officiaUy part of the cheerleading squad, slw is basically free to “do my own thing.”She ad libs most of her routines and especially likes to embarrass fi-iends sitting in the stands. ‘T il go up there and make them dance with me, or 111 follow them around and imitate everything they dio—but most of the timer I just give them a hug or wave.”Barber loves to perform for ihe crowd. “Everyone wonder^who I am, if I ’m a guy or a girl, no one knows,” she remarked.“Little kids are always calling out ‘hi horsey’, and I love to play with them for a while and give them hugs,” she said.The Mustang is a tan horse with floppy ears and a long tail. It walks on its two hind legs and waves to the crowd with its front hooves.ç,^^•PARTYROYAL?CaU541-TGIFFOR FREE DELIVERYofCASE BEER • WINE CHAMPAGNEAT COMPETITIVE PRICESOPEN TILLT:00 AM WEEKEND^!HAVE CO2]F A S TF R E ED E U V E R 7fwiih min ordmthe]\ e t ^ w n298 Piamo St. ■ Saa bula OMapo5 4 1 - t G I FSometimes the Mustang can be seen warming up on the court with the basketball players. “I love to follow them and do drills with them while they’re warming up. Once in a while. I ’ll even warm up with the other team,” she explained. ,Barber went to Fallbrook High School in Northern San Diego County where she was the official Indian mascot.Her mascot uniform in high school was an Indian, which was fairly easy for her to move around in. so it took her a while to get used to being inside the Mustang.“Tve learned to work with the costume,” she said. Barber is no longer bothered by tuiuiel vision, she’s simply gotten used to it.Barber is a sophomore business major who often jogs to stay in shape. She feels that being mascot has made school more fun. “I t ’s a fun way to g^t involved.” ' Barber’s school spirit caused her to be awarded the “Spirit Stick” at USA Cheerleading Camp, where she went last summer with the entire Mustang squad. Barber was also given a congeniality award at camp.The time she devotes to being mascot is usually just on weekends, although occaaionalfy she goes tp cheerleading practice tP work on a special routine with the other cheerleaders.Bairber sees her role as mascot as a crowd booster. ”I try hard to get the crowd rolling and I feel this helps the teams. They know the crowd is with them. I t ’s a big honor to be a representative of your school.”During Poly Royal, the Mustang will be wandering around campus “horsing” around, and posing for pictures.HUNGRYFOR A BIGOLD-FASHIONED HAMBURGER?Scrubby & Lloyd’sOPEN MON-WED 9 AM 'TO 4 PM THURSDAY 4 FRIDAY 9 AM TO 8 PM SATURDAY 9 AM TO 6 PM lia6Carni«l*64»4886 LLoyd Ptttmgar-PraprieUr■■yCasual Wear For The Discriminating.

Today, money is even tighter and new, lower standards are being accepted in many areas at Cal Poly.According to Cal Poly Business Affairs Director James Lan- dreth, the state government cannot afford the same level of funding it has always provided.“The state has always held the policy of free education, or close to it, for all,” said Landreth. “Today it (the government’s education budget) needs help.”In January, just hours after taking oath of the governor’s office of California, George Deukmejian implemented budget cuts for various state agencies, including a two percent cut throughout the CSU system .In dollars, the CSU system lost a total of $23.9 million in funds for the rest of the 1982-83 fiscal year.Some of the more tangible indications of the tightened budge included shorter library hours, increasingly higher student fees and possibly less maintenance of school grounds.Faced with this nearly $24 million cut, the governor and the CSU Board of Trustees set a statewide fee increase for spring quarter, 1983. At Cal Poly, full-time students paid $44 more ($193 total) to attend classes this quarter than last quarter.According to a January report by Cal Poly President Warren J. Baker, the proposed budget for the 1983-84 academic year is full of more slashes for Cal Poly’s general fund.Though it has yet to reach final approval by the governor, the current forecast outlined by the sta te ’s Ptoat* ••• page 4p«g*2 N«wsb«at Muatang DaHy April 22 A 23,1983---------- Mustang Daily--------Poly Royal 1983Editorial BoardNancy Lewis, Co-editor Sharyn Sears, Co-editor David Middlecamp, Photo Editor Robin Lewis, Cross Currents Editor L.

If I’d known that, I would have bought one four years ago!”Ah, if it were only that easy. Of course, it is the experience gained in the past four years that gives that piece of paper its real value.Some students, however, walk away from Cal Poly with little else than that $8 diploma. They have struggled their way through classes and worked very hard and for them the diploma is an end in itself. With that gold-enamored document clutched m hand, it’s as if they say, “OK, career, here I come!”The development of a career, however, is an ongoing process, and a vital part of that process is a professional attitude. That attitude should begin developing on the first day of college, and is an important part of a student’s experience.Experience is a broad ajid varied thing; it is the name we give to the intangible souvenirs collected over the passing of time. Experience is the force that molds potential into professionalism.If professionalism is an outgrowth of experience, then much more must be gained through experience than a high grade point average. Being a professional means more than just being proficient in the skills unique to a given job situation; professionalism is as much a state of mind as it is the product of “bookwork.”Professionalism is the polish on concrete skills learned in classes. Students at Cal Poly have many opportunities to take on positions that will allow them to develop a prof( s^- sional approach to their careers.Whether it be a position in student government, becoming active in a student chapter of a professional organization, working on the student newspaper or a department committee, the student is gaining valuable experience that goes a step beyond classroom teaching. Working in extra-achdemic environments like these gives students the chance to en- coimter situations and deal with issues similar to those that they will face “Out There.” ’Prepp’^ e yourself in every way you can; there is a lot of “ther»’ out there.r»A ecsHckSM sie THi« ifrMV anarMMtófioa oW.^ UNftTHIA is o x lÀ fACOOCAncMjMIO KVItW UA IS 1 A ------ácTs u K C A tc a m k & E V I.

The students graduating from technical and business schools with bachelor degrees are often offered more in starting salary than the teachers who trained them—and that is only when the students begin. Within 10 years in the field, the grads may be making double what their college instructors earn.This difference in the amount paid to teachers and the higher salaries of professionals in the field has made it hard for schools like Engineering, Computer Science and Business to hire and retain qualified instructors.In many cases, if a teacher in one of these schools decided to enter the professional field, he or she could increase their salary by at least $10,000.The School of Business has been hardest hit by the recent jumps in demand for business persons in the field a n d ' the resulting increase in field salaries. According to Accounting Department Head Richard Schmidt, the department has had at least one fulltime position left open each year for the last five years. The department has had to use part-time help to cover for the missing instructors, he said.“The demand is greater than the supply for teachers,” he said. “The market is raising salaries and we just can't compete.”The situation is similar throughout the Business School. Walter Perhc, who is half-time professor and half-time head of the Business Administration department, admits that he spends 80 percent of his total working time not teaching or tending to student problems, but trying to recruit teachers to fill vacant positions within the school. In the past four years, he has had to hire four new faculty members, and at this time, he has two fuU-time positions that need to be filled by next fall.Perlick said the reason he has difficulty finding qualified faculty is because “our teaching loads are too high, and our salaries are too low for us to compete with salaries in business and other universities.”The Computer Science Department is also fueling the squeeze of a small quan-tity of teachers to fill ever increasing faculty openings."The need for professors in the computers science field is increasing at a rate of 20 percent per year,” said Computer Science Department Head Emille Atalla. “But the number of people going on to the Ph.D. is decreasing by about 25 percent per year because they are so tempted by big companies and excellent salaries and fringe benefits.”As a result, Atalla explained, the computet science department is finding it harder to get qualified replacement instructors."Why would a man coming out of Cal Poly give up a salary of close to $25,000 to go on to his masters and come back to teach at Cal Poly for a salary of $19,000?” Atalla said.The Computer Science Department is fortunate however, in having a nucleus of instructors who have settled in SanLuis Obispo and plan to stay, Atalla said.“All of our professors anchored here early before we had this big problem and have established a good reputation and now have consulting work that supplements their income,” he said. 'In the past four years, the Computer Science Department has lost. tw|o - in- structors, Atalla. said. One'went to a . .i higher paying job in the intluskry, and' one went to a higher paying job' at another university.The School of Engineering and Technology, which has a staff of more than 125 full-time positions has had two teacher resign to go elsewhere in the past five years, according to school dean Robert Valpey.Finding replacements for the two took “a lot of recruiting, effort and money,” Valpey said. The school is fortunate Valpey said, because most “once theyir“The need for professors in the Computer Science Departihdiit ia increasing at a rate of 20 percent per year.” — Computer Science Department Head Emille Atalla.take the financial sacrifice to come, they generally stay (at Cal Polyl.”Because of the huge difference between market salaries and the standard incoming salary at Cal Poly, new teachers are often offered “associate of” or even full professorships so their salaries will be comparable to what they would make in the field.''¿r. Cal R l^ ’s stgndard |^ in g procedure is to hirea new i^ truc tar at the $19,(X)0 A yelr assistant'profesabr position and . then let them work their way up to as'sociate professor and finally full professor.According to Perlick, the only way he is able to hire qualified instructors for the Business Administration School is to hire them as at least associate professors.“We have to offer salaries at full professor levels just to be competitive,” he said, “and they are still usually $10,000 under what a person could be making in the market."The Metalurgical Engineering Department has had to hire two new instructors in the last five years. Both were hired at the full professor level.“If a guy is making $40,000 in the industry, and he has a Ph.D. and 15 years of experience, then you have to offer him that kind of salary to get him (to teach),” said department head R.C. Wiley.The practice of offering new teachers full professorships has caused some unrest in the departments, however. According to Perlick, staff members who started at the assistant professor level and have been working their way up the ladder for years are “a little bit upset” about new teachers getting professorship positions.The situation also exists in the Engineering and Technology School, according to Valpey, who said that there was “a morale problem” among teachers who had worked in the school a number of years only to see a new teacher given a higher title than themselves.Both department heads said the only solution to the problem is to eliminate having the teacher’s pay scale tied to the title he or she has earned, so that new teachers couldPtoaM Me page 15...-, .^ 1■Jir.NMnbMt MiMang Daily April 22 A 23. i m 3Universities Stung by budget cutsFrom pagpllegislative analyst proposes a $27 million reduction in tlw general support fund. This proposal ia aobut $130 million less than the CSU Board of Trustees’ projected needs for next year in the university system.To offset the reduction', the governor has asked for a $230 increase in the state university fee for each student. Full-time students in the 1982-83 school year paid a total of $453 a year for all fees, including the $150 state fee. If approved, students will be paying just over $680 in total fees to attend Cal Poly next year (1983-84). < ~Some of the more tangible indications of the tightened budget included shorter library hours, increasingly higher student fees and possibly less maintenance of school grbuhdf>This Bgiuu includes the student services fee, the Associated Students fee, health fee and Instmctlonally-Related Activities fee. These are set by the TrùsteM, except the Associated Students fee, which is determined separately on each campus.In 1982-83'it cost the state, on the average for 19 state universities, approximately $4,025 per student per year to fund their education. The student only paid $453.In other areas, a 25 percent cut in travel expenses for faculty and staff was held over from last year (the travel expenses fund provides monies for faculty and staff members to attend out of town lectures, conferences, etc.). Funding for salary increases based on merit was also eliminated.Library funding was reduced by about $3.5 million. According to a report by Cal Poly Library Director D«vid Walch, tllw libr'aiy wil) noticeably hurt with shorter hours, less full-time and temporary library assistants and assistant' librarians, iràs' money for periodicals and less student assistants. Student assisumts'prorvide thé necessary book shelving duties to keep the loaning system tunning smoothly. Without all the necessary enm^Y^M ‘‘^ d hours, Walch said this will result in “inefficiencies" that are “hard to measure.”Another area hurt by thé budget cuts that could have damaging repercusions for the campus grounds is custodial services. This is the third cutback in■ . ! -custodial work in the last three or four years, said Lan- dreth."This is a self-perpetuating problem,” said Lan- dretb. “There comes a time when new, lower standards have to be ad<^ted when you can't keep up the old, higher (cleaner) standards.”While forced to implement the $44 student fee increase to offset Deukmejian’s January cuts. President Baker also learned Cal Poly had to cut back by $402JOOO this year.According to Baker's January report, the statewide student fee increase still left a shortfall of about $6 million. Each university had to absorb part of this reduction individually.Baker outlined Cal Poly’s cutbacks in four areas: instruction, academic support, student services and institutional support.' Specifically, areas' already affected will be hurt further, namely not filling already vacant positions, curbing in-state and out-of-state travel, cutting supplies and services,' bringing in special lecturers, printing, recruitment and supplying library periodical funds.However. Cal Poly acting Budget Officer Vkki Stover is quick to point out both Cal Poly Administration and the Chancellor’s office are giving priority to maintaining the same level of instruction as is currently provided. Classes, the number of faculty available, and student's access to getting the classes they want are put first and receive the major portion of the budget anyway, she said.Í i> y“ I t ’s hard to plan your own budget for the year if you’re a student here’’—W. Ann Reynolds, CSU chancellor.Many of the items requested by the Trustees proposed budget were not approved in the governor’s proposal in January or the legislative analyst's r^xirt. The state legislative'analyst reviews the governor’s report in-depth and makes recommendations and changes for final approval by the governor in July.Statewide, the Trustees asked for $17.6 million for Program Change Proposals. This means the CSU system wanted more money to put toward “new and changing technology,” whk^ is outlined in a fall status report by Landreth.

Ann Reynolds and the Board of Trustees are aware of how hard constant fee changes are on students.“I t’s hard to plan your own budget for the year if you’reji student here," ^he said.What is complicated and confusing to students is not only this quarter’s $44 increase and fall’s proposed increase, but an actual reduction in summer quarter fees.But the 1983/84 fees remain up in the air. Though the Trustees, the governor and legislative analyst', have all proposed budget costs, final approval by Deulcme- jian is set for the beginning of July.This surprising turn of events comes after a reinstating of summer quarter. Originally in his January budget cuts, Deukmejkian eliminated summer q u a rts at Cal Poly and three other CSU campuses to save the state $13 miUion. 'Through President Baker’s lobbying on behalf of Cal Poly, summer quarto: will not be cut and will cost students only $143, instead of this quarter’s fee of $193.According to both Landreth and Stover, there is no readily apparent reason for this change. ^“We received word from the Chancellor’s office about the lower fees," said Stover. “We were expecting the fees to remain the same as this quarter. And we were not given an explanation as to why (the fees were lowered)."But the 1983/84 fees remain up in the air. ’Though the 'Trustees, the governor and legislative analyst have all proposed budget costs, final approval by Deukemejian is set for the beginning of July.“Students will probably have tp call our toll-free number this summer to Hnd out fee costs for fall since we won’t have the figures for C.A.R.

Still in I final approval stage, this program will create a “new funding problem,” said Landreth.More money will be needed to fund for an extra two years of service credit each CSU employee who retires eariy.Though being implemented to save the system money in the fong run, initially the system has no money to fund the program, said Landreth.Concurrent with his Januipipr, Im d^t ‘ rravictiohsV Deukmejian aboi asked for. a voIünEary eicpen(^im] frewefrom J u .

Although the minors program needs more publicity, those taking advantage of it have already experienced rewards.Lisa Thomason, 21, majoring in Social Science, opted for a minor in public administration and said she felt this opened up another avenue for her. With relatives involved in government on the east coast (her uncle is the Deparment 'Secretary General-of the Civil ^Service Commission!, she had an interest in the 'public sector. . ' .The public administration minor consists of 27j units of course work and in- 'Vdtves a supervised internship experience in a governmental agency.Working for the San Luis Obispo C ounty A dm in istra tive Office, Thomapon worked on special projects including emergency evacuation plans for Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. She also updated county council decisions and went on a tour of the county with the Air Pollution Control Committee.Later she was approached with a job for the county but Thomason, has her heart set on Washington D.C. where she will be moving after graduation in June. “Having a minor changed my career goal and gave me a solid direction on > where to go,” said Thomason.Another public administration minor, Jill Jones. 21, maioring in Home Economics s ig n ^ up for the program because she wanted “classes that would group together rather than odds and ends” to fulHll her 79 elective units.Her government intwnskip (4 units credit for 2 quarters) was in t ^ District' Atto>\.ey’s offlce in consumer frau9. Jones said, “ I took complaints" and assisted with investigationAlthough.it wae a non-payin^^ob, the - twelve hours a Week, provided good experience for Jones, who will seekwerk in research or a regulatory agency of the government after graduate school. “That is, if I’m not -teaching at the university level,” she added.f ^' Each minor offers a diffm nt kind of supplement to a student’s degree. For example, an engineer who minors in speech would have an advantage when he/she is called upon for a business presentation.Minors definitely have a major value in a student’s education!Dine over the WaterPOLY ROYAL SPECIAL2 Rebuilt alternator startersDomestic Reg. 34.(X) Exchange.Sale 24.95 Exchangee AJT*'.Foreign Reg. 54.00 Exchange'^ SAI V A ,.h1 Sale.39,95 Exchange °1 Yr.

A good farrier ‘must be a businessman, a horseman, a blacksmith, along with being an expert on the anatomy of horses.’’ ■Sixteen students are enrolled in the class and a one- year waiting list is filled by other hopefuls. ‘Armstrong’s students have to be serious about learning the trade because the eight unit class runs from 8 a,m. to 5 p.m. every weekday.In the morning Armstrong lectures his students, some who know nothing about horses, on the use of the forge, metal working, technique and the other aspects of the trade. The class then goes to work in the shop, learning firsthand the problems involved in shoeing a horse.The class also goes on field trips to race tracks, horseshows and the Veterinary Medicine school at Davis to observe professional fairies work.All horses shod in the class are fitted with handmade shoes. While students learn almost every skill involved in the subject, the class is only a start to becoming a good farrier." I t takes a t least 10 years to be an exceptional farrier,’’ Armstrong said."When the horse ia being shod, you’re dealing with the rifest important part of the animal—the feet and legs. The farrier has to know what he is dofeg,’^ he added.

Todi^ there are 4,600 acres of land devoted to agriculture, with the mpjority of the land used for cattle and sheep.According to Crop Sdroce Department Head Corwin M. Johnson, “The crop sdoioe program has since evolved as time has gone along.” He added that the system used today is «Imitar to a program instigated in 1920.l i e farmland used to cultivate crops is hr odled by students edw> voluntarUy sign iq> for the projects. Each year about 260 students t¿ce on the reepcm- sibility of growing crops.The students do everything from planting the seeds to marketing the products. he said. The projects are fuiided by Ca^ Poly Foundation, which has a omtract with the state for running the land, Johnson explained. ^The foundation receives one-third of the net profit and the students got the rwnaining two-thirds, he reported. The _ students then pay for the rent of the land, irrigation of the crops and any other expenses from their profits.“I t ’s an excellent learning experience,” Johnsqn said. “Financing is guaranteed, and the students can’t lose money, only make it,”In addition to learning about the crops, students are put into real dedsion-making situatioiu on a day to day basis. Among some of the decisions students must nuke are how to contrd the weeds and when to use pesticides.Johnson admitted that agricultural chemicals are used to control destructive pests. However, they are regulated by the agricultural commissioner. He added that although Cal Poly uses the least hazardous types of chemicals, the pesticides are stUl very toxic, and students are not allowed to enter fields where chemicals have been used.“T hns are thousands of little decisions students must make every day which affect the final outcome—profit,” Johnson said. “Ib e educational experience is something that couldn’t be- simulated in a laboratory or classrotnn.”According to Johnson, very few institutions in the wm-ld have a program for crop science students like Cal Poly. In fact, he asserted. Cal Poly is the “world’s leader.” Institutions in the United States and developed nations model their programs after Cal Poly’s.In February a university in Beirut a ttempted to put the crop scienro program into practice, “but things went wrong in Lebanon before it was done,” he explained.“I t’s unique because students get to do all of the work,” Johnson said, ad- - ding that Fresno^ Chico and Cal Poly Pomona have also patterned their programs after Cal Poly’s. 'Students utilize 400 to 500 acres of ~ the Chorro Creek Ranch by Cuesta College off Highway 1 to grow certified seed, cereal crops, feed grain and sudan grass. Much of the barley and oats grown tho-e are used by the animal science and dairy departments, he added.On other acreage, students grow cram silage, garbanzo beans and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, garlic, onions and lettuce. During the sununer. months, the students grow sweet cani, tomatoes, peppers, summer squash and zucchini. There are also jrear-round crops such as beets and carrots..E i ^ to ten acres on canqws are devoted to citrus fruits including several varieties of oranges and tangerines.CurrentlyCal Poly is in the process of reestablishing the tree farm site located on I^ h lan d Drive off Highway 1. f^ 1Nkg »i ^ ke d^tit9asmwbBiiig|Janted «Melissa Lee, left, and Stephanie Toomey pull a calf Into a squeeze chute.|DMf-SMIyV«Mnear the poultry unit, Johnson said, adding the {H-oject will be completed in about five years. -Grapes for making wine are also grown by the university and sold to individual winemakers and wineries in the area, he said.Food products from the students’ crops are also sold to the campus store, Williams Brothers and Laurel T.«tw> markets, local merchants. Farmers Market, food service and occasionally. Cal Poly products are shipped to othiw m arkets in California, Johnson reported.That is, the crops are sold if theydon’t end iq> on the dinner tables of16,000 Cal Poly students, he said.«“Pilfering is always a iwoblem,” Johnson contended. “Students think they are stealing from the state, when in fact, they are stealing from fellow students.”The problem is sometimes significant, depending on how many students have the attitude that taking just one won’t hurt, Johnson said. .I .Cal Poly crops are simdar to county crops, said Johnson. “But we had avocados growing here on a comihercial basis before the county,” he boasted.According to County Agricultural, Commissioner Earl R. Kalai, the largest portion of acreage in San Luis Obispo, County is used for cattle, ;md the biggest money crop is lettuce.Because of the wide variety of climates and soil on the Central Coast, diverse crops can be produced by the county. San Luis Obispo is 24th or 26th in agricultural production in CaUfomia, Kalar reported.Agricultural production for 1981 in San Luis Obiapo was estimated at 9191 million, he added, noting tha t agriculture is a major source of income in the county. In fact, 236,866 repwted acres in 1981 are devoted to agricultural production in San Luis Obispo County.“Cal Poly also contributes a lot to agriculture statewide,” Kalar asserted. “I t produces the best trained, ready to wbrx agriculture people.”' SS )'RESTAURANTG ^Breakfast, Lunch and DinnerServing from7 AM to 10 PMCome try our OAK BURNING PIZZA OVENNightly Entertainment; in Our '‘ Cocktail Lounge 11 PM to 2 AM In the Discovery M otw Inn1850 Monterey St. 543-3333>10 MMtanoDaNy iVpril22«2S,19n, t,TOWNHOME CONDOMINIUMS¿ 4 -fp.r.r.p.rr.r'.r,^ ; .-’hTn.':* . «*Ridgepoint Togir.nhpmc Condominiums have, been taken over by a new management team.

According to Ed Naretto, director of Rant Operations, both these plants are in the planning stages. The larger plant is to be finished by June 1986 and the «nalW one thin summer or summw, 1984.“The larger plant will not cost the university ons peony,” Naretto said. “Even the money spent in preparation will be reimbursed.”Caloogen of San Francisco wfll build this plant in Poly Canyon near the existing Mustang sub-stotion. Naretto said since it is a private company investing in energy «mservation, present tax lawa will enable it to write off as much as 60 percent of the costs.The co-generation plant will produce electricity and thermal energy for campus heating. Currently. Cal Poly actiuires its thermal energy frmn steam. Tlie plant wifi iwoduce electricity through a gas turbine. The exhaust will be put through a boiler which will {woduce steam. The steam turbine wiU generate more electricity and be able to heat buildings all over campus.When the idea was first proposed. Naretto said, an energy consultant said Cal Poly could utilize a three-to-four megawatt (S.OiXM.OOO kilowatts) plant. Since there was no money in the budget for such a plant, a third party investor was sought to help out. Interest in co-generation plants has risen in o th ^ places besides Cal Poly. Last summ«' nine other locations were searching for investors. Interested parties included San Jose S ta ^ University. Northridge University, three stg te hospitals including Atascadero, and three state prisons.Four of the original nine sites decided to go ahead with the energy project. Naretto said, naming Cal Poly. Atascadero State Hospital and Northridge State University as three of them.The final plans for Cal Poly’s plants began in January with Cakogen proposing a 26 megawatt plant.While the plant is being built. Naretto said. Cal Poly will recehrs other benefits. They include:—A $40.000 energy audit, pinpointing where energy is used on this campus and how efficient each building is. In conjundton with this project, the company wiU provide meters which will tie in to the energy management system that is to be installed within the next two years.—A student simulator where students can visuaUy observe the co-generation system being used. Naretto said this will probably serve as an educational tool for the Engineering Department. )-Eighty-thousand dollars worth of repairs conducted on existing steam lines.—Three hundred thousand dollars to be spent on looping the steam line so they can feed both ways, enabling the university to isolate problem areas.—A $260.000 auxiliary boiler.Poly’s co-generation plant will be powered by a DC- 10 jet engine which has been modified to prdduce enwgy. I t wiU use exclusively General Electric machines.The university and Cakogen will receive revenue. The imivwsity wiU “hopefully be abk to use this money to continue more energy conservation projects.” Naretto said, adding the money will probably be put into the university general fund.The second co-generation plant will operate on .35 megawatts or 360 kikwatts. 'This wiU be used for the Yosemite^ and Sierra Madre dorms compkxes andVista Grande Restaurant.It will be powered by a reciprocal encdne. similar to that of a caf. he said. Natural gas goes in and electricity comes out. The exhaust will be converted to steam.The university took out a low interest loan from tte federal government to finance the $60.000 plimt. Tliis loan will be paid off in aobut six years. Naretto said.By that time, he expects the university will be saving about $160.000 per year in utility costs.“The first year of operation, we expect to save about $100.000.” he said.Condo For SaleWhy Rent?By Owner: 1235 $q. foot, 2 bdrm., 1V ^bath: Fireplace, dishwasher, trash com- pacter, carport & garage, mini-wine cellar, custom decks and fartdscape, near park. ’Attractive Financing1st TD of $61,300 thru 12h/83 "Buy Down" feature permits interest rate to be modified (for $50) to prevailing market rate (currently at 12V6%) for remainder of 30-year loan.

There you are amidst the superlative scenery of Canadian mountains, fjords, glaciers and countless rivers s{)awning slamon, or perhaps you’re meandering along European cobblestone streets winding off the beaten path through fairy-tale villages.Whatever your ideal get-away may be, a visit to Cal Poly's University Union Travel Center will most likely turn those lofty dreams into a real vacation at down- to-earth student-discounted prices.Accorrling to UU Recreation Director Rod Neubert, who founded the center in 1978, “Right now is the time to go for it while you are still students." Not only are there many student discounts to take advantage of, but he explained that this time in young people's lives is when they have the most free time for travel."1 am constantly in touch with alumni," he said, "and the story 1 often hear is, ‘Now that I have the money, 1 don’t have the time.’ ” So Neubert’s advice for students is: “Whether you have to save, beg or borrow, now is the time.”They have gone by canoe, snowshoes, skis, car, train, airplane and even ferry boat.By offering benefits designed for students, the Travel Center proves a valuable resource for those on limited budgets desiring to see the world. Bjesides booking international flights, the center provides general information on domestic flights and low-cost travel insurance. By taking advahtage of low offseason air fares, the center can offer money-saving travel packages.This time of year offers the best fares available, Neubert said. Round trip tickets to London are going for $599, while round trip fare to Germany is $569, and rates increase in the summertime. According toNeubert, most people last year spent $700 going to Europe.The center contracts with the Council for International Educational Exchange which specializes.in low- cost educational programs for work/study programs abroad. Students may also obtain international student identification cards, Eurail and Britrail pas.seo and American Youth Hostel Cards at the center.Staffed with 28 people (five are paid—the rest are volunteersl, the center keeps extensive flies on every country with up-to-date information, distributes travel tips, and offers weekly classes on lodging, points of interest, transportation and travel strategy. Located on the gound floor of the University Union in a small office opposite the Ice Cream Parlor, the Travel Center is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.Sending students to the far corners of the world, the center has sponsored trips to Mexico, Alaska, New Zealand, Australia, South America, Japan, Europe, South Africa and several areas in the United States. Their means of travel have been just-as varied. They have gone by canoe, showshoes, skis, car, train, airplane and even ferry boat.^ iv a te tours may be booked individually at the center, and group toiu-s are organized throughout the year (mostly during quarter breaks).Neubert has led many himself.Having operated his own white water river running company and taught rock climbing, Neubert has worked commercially in other recreational businesses such as leading ghost town tours and treks on pack horses. “I found that people were there for a quick thrill.” He said he likqd working with students more because they “really appreciate travel and grow because of it.”, Last summer, Neubert led a group of nine students on a six-weeic bicycle tour through Europe. Cost forthe trip was $1,3(X) which included air fare (their bikes were flown over too), food and lodging. They covered nearly 1,0(X) miles of countryside avoiding tourist spots while taking the less-traveled roads throughbackwoods and small towns, often stopping to pick ' wild rasberries. _________________ _^_____“The story I often hear is, ‘Now that I have the money, I don't have the time. So whether you have to save, beg or borrow, now is the tim e.’’—Rod Neubert, University Union recreation director._____Villagers received the cyclists with enthusiasm, fie said, upon seeing “all that gear on our backs.” While the group toured in France, people mistook the Cal Poly travelers for cyclists who were training for the 3,000 mile Tour de France bike race. “They would come to their doors cheering us on," he said chuckling.The group got an intimate view of Europe and its people as they visited with villago's “who were eager to tell us about their country, and eager to ask about ours.” Neubert said that while biking through snutll towns, he enjoyed the “different smells for what was cooking” St each house as they passed, and said townspeople were very generous as many would invite them for dinner.Students ought to make the most out of their education, he said, adding they should not overlook travel as an educational tool. The experiences o f . getting together with a group of strangers, making adjustments and traveling through a foreign environment are of equal importance to regular academic classes, he added. “Government and history courses suddenly come to life after you’ve seen Congress in action, or after touring Lpuis XIV’s Palace of Versailles,” he said.Neubert added travel provides an excellent means for development in yoimg people. When students are able to successfully get through a country where no one speaks their language, it gives them confidence. “Out of necessity, young travelers gain assertiveness, decisiveness and flexibility while merely going about daily chores in a new environment.”PleaM SM pagcISS M E -Save $4Sals 14.99 "«SI W »rm up with » winner' Our solid color suit with hooded top Fleeced polv collon Misses S M L Another womens nctivc’we.ir on s«le'S aV/ ÍJCFfenneyDowntown San Luis ObispoWIN A TRIP!

Neubert w d many student > -travelers find it is a lot more fun to bring home traditions of other cultures, such as mid-day siestas or afternoon tea, and absorb them into their own lifestyles than to spend time weighing whose culture is “beet.” ^ I «%Many tours sponsored by the center are led by student guides, who have traveled the country before and know the language. The experience of leading a group of people—e a ^ member with his or her own ideas, ^ likes and dislikes—is good for the guides as they develop leadership abilities, .Neubert said. By getting input from each member, the leader makes decisions that reflect the nujority will.Robert DeLuca, a lUiiTeation Administration major now in graduate school,'was a student guide who led five people on a study tour of Peru in the sununer of 1980 for his senior project.The group collected precious artifacts while travel- fing the Andean highlands, and saw the ruins of Inca cities, most notably Machu Pkchu. On an excursion to Lake Titicaca, they encountered the Uros Indians, known as “reed people,” whose livelihood revolves around reeds. They make their boats and homes from it, eat it, and have even formed the islands they live onfrom the sturdy plant. /During their stay in the village of Tequili, DeLuca said they were fortunate to he invited to a Quechuan ' iwedding celebration which lasted for three days. For -the first day and a half, the bride and groom sat trance-like not even speaking while others at the Wedding feasted, danced, drank and pinned money on the , 'couple. At nightfall, the newlyweds rose to dax>ce, and music played nonstop for two days.DeLuca said the group hiked in the Andes at altitudes of 18,000 feet, as well as trekking through ^ 'jungle environs and desots “where rain has not fallen ' -in over 100 years.” 'They were forced to adjust to ' .dramatic changes of weather and to adapt to changes ‘of culture.The trip “demanded a person to experience, feel and become part of a system which incorporates a foreign set of rules and symbols,” said DeLuca. T ^ establishes a learning environment whereby “one’s own social structure will change and perhaps broaden to encompass a wider variety of values which make up the world.”Newsbeat page 13/ l i i *South of the border fantasies can be realized with the aid of the University Union Travel Center.

"The rank should be a measure of how valuable a teacher is, not just an indication of how much money he or she makes.”Periick also supported the "decoupling,” adding ;; I that ‘to be competitive with salaries, we now have to offer them rank, but people laugh when we hire someone at a full profrasor level when they haven’t earned it.”Recently, CaUfomia State yniversity System Chancellor’s office approved an executive order to deal with the problem. According to Personnel Analyst Mike Suess, the otàer essentially allowed a teach«* to be hired a t an a s s i s ^ t professor level., but with pay ' that could range into the assodate professor levelPer Bek said the effectiveness of the order was Hit« “putting a Band-Aid on a major wound.” Atalla said it was “not satisfactory, but a step in the r i ^ t direc- / tion.”’The Chancellor’s office also recently approved an executive order which would allow some tesichers to ^ receive a two step, or 10 percent pay raise, instead of the usual five percent. The allowance has been used only minimally in the schools, however, because the extra money for the jump-step raise must come from within eaclu department, and will not be provided by the state. * _"If the state doesn’t increase my budget,” Atalla said, "any jump-stepping I do will be done a t tbs expense of other teachers.”All of the school representatives insisted that the difficulty in h i r ^ and retaining new teachers has not hurt the quality ot instruetkm a t Cal Poly. AO depart- . menta are now using many graduate a i¿ upper d i ^ shm studeids to h ^ with labs and lower dMsion courses, so tbs departments can afford to spend money recruiting and hiring quality instructors."Thare’s no way I ’m goiiag to 1st the quaOty of the department go."

"I would rather close ¿1« dassroom down than to hire unqualified teachers.”The strugi^ing departments are abo kxddng in to. asking businesses, that hiró Cal Poly graduates to b ^ in recruiting tesichers and ofisring them consulting work to supplement their teaching salary.

Qilif. (“Your basic small town," she said-) The Industrial Technology Society sponsored her in the queens' pageant, and Lefebre doesn’t think it's unusual to have an industrial engineer as Poly Royal Queen.“There are so many women in IT now—it’s not suprising to find them in the pageant,” she said.And as far as the pageant goes, it is not a beauty pageant, Lefebre said. “'The person who speaks the best, has poise under pressure—that’s who they want.”Lefebre thinks it was her answer to the spontaneous questions posed to all contestants which won the pageant for her.“They asked, ‘What would you tell someone who didn’t want to go to college to convince them that i t ’s worth it?’’’ she explains. “ I told them that in college, you’re not only learning from academics; you're learning from your surroundings. You’re exposed to so much more.”l.efebre’s exposure to academics a t Cal Poly led her to change h®*" major from B u sin ess to In d u s tr ia l Technology. She's a senior with one year of work to go before shegraduates—and possibly a Coop position in Los Angeles along the way.Lefebre either wants to be a plant engineer, supervising safety or cost- effiency, or work in industrial sales:She’ll be starting her senior project next quarter which should help her decide between the two areas; she’ll be studying the cost-effectiveness of using magnesium coils to reduce calcium deposits in certain industries. Not exactly an activity in keeping with the queenly stereotype.“I t’s really more Interesting than it sounds," she'said laughing. “ I want to do a project tha t’s going to help sb- . meohe, instead of doinjg just dry research,” she added, more sobwly.Lefebre's concern with making prac- ticalcontributions extends to her role as Poly Royal Queen. «“ If I can make one change for Pofy Royal—make it better—that’s what I'd like,’’"she said. Lefebre plans to work hard at her public relations duties as the chief spokeswoman for Poly Royal.“ In every major, there’s something big going on,” she stressed. “Poly Royal is a time for each major to put their best on display. I t’s important for the alumni and other people to see that Cal Poly is keeping up with the times.”Lefebre had never competed in a pageant before the Poly Royal competition, confessing she really cUdn’t expect to win. Since being crowned, she’s suffered some good-natured teasing from friends and fellow IT majors.The day aft¿r the Mustemg Daily published the results of the pageant, “when I went into the IT lounge they’d ' pasted copies of the article all over the walls and the doors,” she said.1>efebre lives in an apartment w ith ' four girls and a cat named Conan the .

The junior was the Region VIII and national champion at 3,000- meters. Harper has run five indoor races this season, the latest being at the NCAA Division I National Track and Field Indoor Championships in the Silver- dome at Pontiac, Mich, last month.‘ "’The competition in the indoors has really helped me this year,’’ admitted Harpter, who is a matít major. "I didn’t think I was going -to run the indoor season. Because I ’m nmning more races early in the season than usual, 1 don’t expect my outdoor season to be as good. But, I ’ll have to wait and see how that goes. And because of the competition I have run against indoors. I ’m going to pay the price and take a little away from my outdoor season. I think the 3,000 will be better for me in the long run because my long distance running has become stronger from a good cross country season."At Division II if the time schedule is the same as last year. I ’ll just run the 3,000. If the time schedule is different. I ’ll nm both the 1,500 and 3,000. But, if the time schedute is the same and I do double in the 1,500 and 3,000, I want the 1,500 to be my better race. I ’m not going to run in Division I (May SO to June 4 in Houston) because TAC is three weeks later, the samé people will be there as in Division I and I’ll be out of ' school.’’Harper has qualified for Division II natjonals in the three aforementioned events. And she has set times which would also qualify for the Division I chan^ion- ships.During the indoor season Harper ran against the likes of Mary Decker-Tabb, Monica Joyce, Margaret Groos (an American entrant in the World Cross Country Championships), and Stanford’s Alison Wiley (second in the World Cross Cdutnry Championships running for Canada) and Pattisue Plumer., "Going into a race and not being siKh a surprise (like she’was in last year’s 1,500 race with Kraemer) and people knowing who I am has given me confidence. In Division I I I don’t run against competition like that. It took me a couplé of races indoors of not letting names intimidate me."I go into a ^ ace feeling like I know what I want to do and I ’m usually satisfied with how I did. I ’m trjring to run my own race and not. worry about how someone else is ^ in g to run their race. I still have a lot to learn. But, thé more races I run, the better I ’ll get.’’• rm c in g , c o m m u t in g S to u r in g o poelo lim t»•e u m to m w h o o l é f r o m o b u i ld in g •caff urn fo r y o u r b lk o '^ o o rw ie o é r o p o lro o t:5 4 1 - 5 0 7 3m u t h o r i x m d dm m im rm o fM n xT A T R B ^ ' ,SPEOAUZEL ianlana 'Tq rtttwnt '•R IT C M 5 Y m t n . h lkom •m O f f C O O R 5 R b le y e lo m ë fro m o m o toJ Ÿ C L K W O R K S o m n M m o b im p ow b te y o log , eo m g m n o n tm S oeeooooriom. 399 FODTHILL BLVD.

One of them, Ryan, did know hia address and proudly said it aloud to his fellow classmates. His friend Andy also knew his, but he would only mumble it uader his breath.Of course neither Andy nor Ryan is over three feet tall. IDr. Josy Steams, pre-school coordinator. calls them the “little people” of Cal Poly, and every day these three to five-year-olds come to the “big people” campus to learn in an environment conducive to their growth.The Cal Poly pre-school, located just outside the Mathematics and Home Economics building and across the road from the Robert E. Kennedy Library, boast eight teachers for every session.Sessions are taught by students majoring in child development. These students, along with Steams, welcome the children to their pre-school laboratory class at 8:30 ,a.m. Monday through Thursday, and send them home before noon. —. IDuring these hours the students lead the children through exercises in self development as well as allow them to interact with their peers in a playground environment.There is much interaction between the rhildren and students because of the . .lumber of adults, said Steam, comparing Poly's pre-school to others in the community. “There is a variety of teaching equipment and the kids are more able to approach adults,” she said.Of the 22 children enrolled in the preschool. 10 are three years old, 10 are four years old and two are five. Three of the children are learning English as a second language. One child suffers from cerebral palsy. Another has a disorder Stearns deHned as a growing disability."This child has shown tremendous improvements,” Steams said of the latter. “He has grown a year’s worth in the short amount of time we’ve had him.”There are 16 students who work the lab with groups of eight working two days a week. Each school quarter different students enroll in the Ub, but the , children usually remain throughout the ‘ school year. (Cal Poly’s academic year is divided into four quarto’s, each about 11 weeks long.)“Fall quarter the children may form ties with the studoits,” Steams said. “As it gets later in the year, the children tend to interact with each other more than the teachers. It can get them (the students) upset.”Mark Regan, a sophomore child developmnet major who worked in the lab winter quarter, said he enjoys the fact that the children like him.Jull Peargln tries to talk a shy Brian Powell, 3, into a game of catch. Mm ltiig OaSy — Dm M MMOacamp“When I was young I spent a lot of time with younger Idds because I didn’t identify too well with my peers,” he said. “Kids are honest, they don’t hedge. You just have to get down on their level.”The pre-school has been in its present location since 1955. It is designed for three and four-year-olds and has been in constant use with a college instructor since 1975. Parents of the tots pay $40 a quarter, with the remainder of the funding coming from the university. Parents can also watch their children undetected through an obsrvation booth that lines the length of the playroom.%“I t’s really fun to sit there and watch- them, to be the totaL observer, “ Ellen Peze, a Cal Poly graduate and mother, said. “At home you watch them, \>ut they always act a little different when they know you are there.”’The pre-school is one of three child development labs at Cal Poly. The other two deal with infants arid toddlers. Most of the children in the pre-school class are "graduates” of the other two sections. Even so. child admission is stiff, as community parents wishing to enroll their children must sometimes face a waiting list of more than 100 spaces.Stearns said the feedback she receives from parents when the' children leave the center is positive.“My job as coordinator is to work with the parents and thè selection process.” she said. “The c o l l ^ students do a complete set of papers on the Idds, and at leakt once during the year each parent gets a home visit.”^^teams, who has a Ph.D. in Home Economics, said the most diffìcult adjustment for the pre-school age group is that of learning self-concept.Child development major Mark Regan together.“This means feeling good about themselves' and being able to verbalise their physical needs,” she said. “When the four-year-olds leave this room, I want them to be verbal.”Stearns also said however, that this can sometimes be overwhelming to parents. _ . . .“ It tends to be sassy,” she said. “But if a four-year-old can Iw verbal for every need that he has, then the child will survive and be able to express those needs.MtiMang D aly - Oa«W M IM Iteafflahelps VInu Somayajl, 3, piece a puzzleVery few of the children that leave here and go to kindergarten are overcome by their teachers. They jmow how to interact with strangers.”Four-year-old blonde Brenda is a bubbling example.“I like to play dolls,” she said when, questioned about her knowlege. ‘I show them (the other children) how I do ballét lessons. I ’m just four but I can fhrow these (the dolls) all the way up there.”1 iISLOLN* Mustang Dally AprH 22 & 23,19831 t.■m:^ leiWim0y4// aboard!-Can't ya hear the whistle Wowin'?Frompagul • ,— 'Most of ua in San Luis Obispo who live within sar* shot of the tracks—and at 2 a.m„ that includes most of us—know little more about the railroad that winds th ro u ^ our town other than the unpleasant interruption of our sleep. , f *But red eyes were a small price most of the 2,996 inhabitants of San Luis Obispo in 1890 were willing to.

NichoUon, professor emeritus of journalism at Cal Poly and author of “Rails Across the Ranchos,” whi6h documents the city’s fight to bring Southern Pacific here, wrote, “The anticipation of a Southern Pacific line continued to encourage land development all along the coast between Paso Robles and Santa Barbara." In fact, a direct result of thes^ expectations of a railroad was the development of the residential lots in the area where Johnson Avenue intersects Monterey. Higuera, and Marsh streets.In anticipation of an expanding population, city officials, hoping to keep tabs on the growing number of residents, passra an ordinance requiring numbers (addresses) be posted on "all houses and buildings."So, with visions of a boomtown in residents’ eyes, it is not surprising that when the final track to San Luis Obispo’s , new depot was at last laid and the first passenger train screeched to a halt just after 6 p.m. on■• V V I L L A G EWE OFFER: e n jo y a b l e liv in gir AH Y ou Cain Eat Meal Plans ^ Private Living Rooms and Baths if Planned Student Activities★ The Freedom from Utility Costs★ But...

The evening edition of that day’s San Luis Tribune recorded that cannons were fired, fireworks exploded, and "came the sound of the city hall bell which the chief engineer had permitted to be rung with many misgivings...on this particular occasion there was no limit."The aura that the city was standing on the threshold of a new era was echoed by the Tribune's editor, Benjamin Brooks, who on the same day wrote, “In the history of San Luis Obispo, when its next chapter shall be written, the page which will stand out in letters of gold will be the fifth of May, 1894."It also cost Southern Pacific a chunk of gold to~ stretch the rails 17 miles from Santa Margarita to San Luis Obispo over the Cuesta grade.

They were some of the finest painters of the “uiocivilized'’ ^world. They studied astronomy, medicine, navigation and music. They established towns of 1,000 or more residents.Ttey were expert craftsmen, renowned for their technical competence. They inhabitated ov«- 10 million acres of some of the finest real estate on earth. They maintained a delicate balance with their environment. living very well off the land without damaging it. T Í ^ were pioneers of trade and estabUshed the first form of currency in early California. They were an open, friendly people.And ironically, because they were so advanced, so civilized and so friendly, they w oe conquered, enslaved and exterminated in a mere 80 years.They were the Chumash Indians.If you live in San Luis Obispo, Malibu, Bakersfield or anywhere in between, you live where the Chumash flourished not so long ago. If you arrived in San Luis Obispo using Highways 101, 126, 1 or 399, you drove on ancient Chumash trading trails. The towns along these routes are more reminders of the Chumash—the names Malibu, Lompoc, Ksmo, Sespe, Ojai, Saticoy and Point Mugu are all derived from this tribe.But the tribe is gone; there is not a single full- blooded Chumash Indian left on earth, history professor Daniel Krieger said, and there hasn’t been since 1863. The white num, with his customs, diseases, and religion, snuffed the tribe in record time.Eugene Anderson, Jr., author of The Chumash Indians of Southern CaUfomia, put it this way: “In few . areas has missionizathm been so successful in reducing' a pecóle first to slavery and then to death.” ^One wonders: bow could such a strong, ^ developed tribe such as the Chumash be trampled by a band of priests?A bit of background is needed to answer this question. The Chumash were very advanced primarily because of California’s favorable climate and plentiful food sources. The San Luis Obispo area was one of the choioest spota in the state, Krieger said. The state of California was rich enou^ to sustain an estimated 280,000 to 300,000 indums, a much higher density than other parts of the nation. The Chumash comprised anywhere from 12,000 to 26,000 of this totaL Exact figures are unknown. • .t ".. ^ -v .; 'The Chumash didn’t practice organized agriculture and instead utilized a variety of food sources, encompassing every sort of sea animal from clams to whales and many varieties of seeds and roots, Krieger said. “They learned to draw on every available source of food, yet without exhausting any,” Anderson noted.The result was a dfet very rich in p r o t^ , which would in time work against the Chumash, Anderson said.’The Chumash ware organized into hundreds of small, independent villages, a^ukh resulted in a variety of different languages and still more dialects, Anderson said. The villaj^s were aedalized in their tasks, with the most prestigious jobs being those of chief, canoe owner and shaman or medicine man.The first sighting of the Chumash by outsiders was in 1587 when Jose Uramuno landed in the county, Krieger said. But the outside world had little effect onthe Chumash until the pilgrimage of Father JuniperoSerra up the coast in the late 1700s.“I think the padres had good motives,” Krieger said. “They were just interested in saving their (the Chumash’s) soiils. And if you have to destroy the body to get to heaven, then that was OK.” IThe Spaniards found that the Chumash nude ideal slaves, Krieger said, as their advanced ctdture and talents made them easily trainable. “You didn’t have to teach them much,” Krieger noted.The Chumash, for their part, welcomed the Spanish with open arms. The Spaniards first came from the sea, which the Chumash held in special reverence, and also, as Krieger explained, "When you’re better off, you can afford to be friendly.” Thus the Indians w en in effect “working hand-in-hand tor their own destruction,” Krieger said.The Spaniards were so impressed with the advancedPteMffMffpagffisTHEWAY STATIONCnjmoo« Wine Tantiag CfflUrCaseMenHlMnaeOpen Sat and Sun 11-5faaluriiigHot Spice JubileeVisit Wine CountryTour ic Taste the BestTt> wuNfii e r r r«S'ir.

However, this was the full extent aTCEat raqpect — it didn’t embrace their customs, lifestyle or culture.The Chumash were inunediatdÿ “converted” to Christianity and taken off of their “pagan” diet. Krieger explained. “In a secular world, we would see this as enslavement and even genocide,” he noted.The priests would enter a wilderness area and a ttract the Chumash with g^ass beads, Krieger explained. The Indians had never seen anything transbcent and were fascinated. 'The new converts were dubbed “neophytes” — “new to the faith” — and were treated in a condescending, childlike manner . They were forced to build tbe adobe missions, and, since the monks believed in both a vegetarian diet and deiwivation, they were fed only a thfo seed gruel.llie gruel diet, while adequate for the monks accustomed to such food, was grossly insufficient for the Chumash after generations of l^h-protein diets. Those who didn’t succumb to malnutrition became very susceptible to “white man’s diseases.” Small pox, syphilis, and the measles were the biggest killers, but even the common cold could be fatal to the Indians.Within a relatively short period of time the Chumash were in bad shape. Some attempted escape, but Spanish soldiers brought them back to allow the padres to continue to save their souls, Krieger said. Several feeble attempts at an uprising were quelled, the last of these in 1824.The Chumash sank into despair — “a feeling that the good times had ended.” explained Krieger. And as was their custom, they tried to spare themselves and their children further suffering through suicide and self- induced abortion. Despite harsh punishments from the padres, abortions were endemic throughout the 1830s, Krieger said, further contributing to the Chiunash’s extinction. Intermarriage helped further dilute the blood line.The final blow came during the drought of 1862-63, Krieger said. The water level was low, the water r polluted. It set off a cholera epidemic which killed off the final remaining fuU-blooded Chumash.'The Chumash today — those with some Chumash blood, anyway — are fighting for recognition as a cohesive nation by the federal government, This would entitle them to health care, scholarships, educational programs and housing assistance, according to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times. Anyone with one-quarter Chumash blood is .entitled to p tribal claim, Krieger said — “but you hâve to prove it.” ’This can be hard, he added, because the Bureau of Indian Affa^s maintains that the Chumash have ceased to exist as a tribe.“I t’s a very political matter,” he said. “To me, it’s not a matter of lineal descent, it's political.”uTAKEAPEEKATUNKHILThe Vespa Scooter, now in stock at SLO City Cycles.

They are Peter Avan- sino. Chuck Barber, Michad Kulpw, Daryl Teshima and Henry Yasui.A ^ance th ro u ^ the cdlections of cartoons shows their styles as unique as the artists themselves.Dale, Dave, Bill and Julie are not just comic strip c l^ac ters in Hmry Yssui’s cartoon world of "Roomers."The compatible roommates are based on real people, actual friends of Yasui's, and the situations they find themselves in are everyday, tnie-to-life experiences.“A lot of interesting things happened to my roommates and me last q;)ring,” Yasui said. “We though sonM of tte stuff would be good cartoon material. So my sketches started getting more sp e c if and eventually I created ‘Roomws.’"The male characters in the comic strip are architecture majors. The newest member of the crew, Julie, is a landscape architecture major, as is Yasui.The foursome find themselves in typical college dilemmas, such as choosing a roommate, dealing with longdistance relationships, and shopping at the Ibcal market.Why didn’t Yasui put himself in the strip? He laughs. “I thought it would be better just to make fools of the other roommates.“Holy Hamhocks!” “Suffering pig swill!" Batman and Robin? Not quite. These dramatic exclamations are from Cal Poly’s own super-hero comic strq> featuring “Ceptain Pig."Created and drawn by computer science majcu Peter Avanzino, the crusading star of the s tr^ is endowed with “super-swine strength."His beginnings were not so dramatic, however.“ I was on an airplane coming home frrom Europe, and I was dooming. I found out I could draw pigs," said Avanzino. “So I drew a football player pig. a doctor pig. and théna super-pig."'

"I just don’t think I have that much Captain Pig in me." t"Editorial cartoons try to capsulize a large view in one drawing and a couple of words, according to journalism major Daryl Teshima, who does cartoons, illustrations and advertising work for the Mustang Daily.“A cartoonist has to convey the whole seen* and his opinion in one chawing. He really goes out on a limb with any strongly opinionated cartoons he does,” said Teshima.’The hardest part of an editorial cartoon is coming up with an idea; tha t’s 75 percent of the job,” Teshima said. "Once I get the idM I can polish off the cartocm in half an hour.”His favorite editorial subject is the nuclear arms race, but be feels limited by the negative nature of editorial cartoons in genoral.“Have you ever seen a cartoon that praised something? They never point out what is good. For instance. I ’d like to do a cartoon prairing our night escort service on campus, but I can’t without it looking like an advertisem ent,” Teshima said.Teshima is often called on to do art to go with stories in the Mustang Daily. He finds it easier than editorial cartoons since the idea is already developed, and he just has to put it on paper.“I don’t mind working under a deadline either,” he said. ‘"The ad staff will come to me and say, ‘We need a drawing of a Russian eating a chicken, and we need it by tomorrow.’ That’s fun.”A mixture of political statements and spoofs on everyday life make up the content of editorial cartoons by Mkhacl K u ^ r .left to right; Micheet Kulper, Peter Avanzino, Chuck Barber, and HenryKulper, currently studyfaig for his masters degree in business administration, said he reads newspaper and magazines and watches televisioit to get ■ an idea of the major political issnès.“When there’s an event in the news that affects me, I do a cartoon on it,” he said.His favcH-ite political topic to do cartoons about is the CaUfomia state budget problems. Kulper said that’s because people are aware of the situation and it affects them—especially students.Besides political statement cartoons, Kulper likes to take stabs at humorous life situations. He did one cartoon that showed a student walking along with radio headphones on. while a truck came barrelling up behind him. The material for these kinds of cartoons are insipred by campus gmngs on.Chuck Barber takes his editorial cartoons seriously. JSo seriously, in fact, that he is studying for his mastars degree in business administration as a backup in case his career as a cartoonist fails to pan out.“If I could get a job in cartooning I ’d be doing what I reidly want to do, and I’d be getting my point across to a lot of people,” he said.BÌiurber’s cartoons are known for their bold lines, biting humor and the tinv commentator in the comer of each one—an orange wearing sunglasses. He started using the orange when he did cartooning for a company newsletter in Orange County.Barber’s editorial cartoons, which have appeared in the Mustang Daily for four years, concentrate on political issues, with a sprinkling of comment on moral values.“I’d call myself a fiscal conservative, but a social moderate,” he said.His favorite subjects to comment on are bureaucracy, inefficiency andMowday WightFootballLive Music Dancing, Thursday-Saturday |C*m p o * l tskbUa dsurtm9 9 0 Lae Osas VaHay Mg. • Lae Oeae.^jiiassive a^u ht's of fhaste in fsjkn’al and •'^ sjtate goyfprmneoto.

Beth remembered the tyranny but was not sure she and her brother had ever been entirely in its grasp. Sharon was only three years older, after all, and as Beth and Danny both knew, she was not a very good girl and she was not especially smart either. Mom had taught them the importance of being good and being smart. And she had also somehow let them know that Beth was smarter than anybody. Maybe that was why Beth had always tried to be so good as well. Mom had once told her she was perfect.But Mom did not know about the turtle. And at thirty, Beth could not get over it somehow. At thirty, home for Christmas, she lay in the roll-away bed at Danny's house, with the clutter of Melissa's toys strewn over the floor like a whole family of broken turtles, and once again they were children, Danny and Beth, and they had stopped along the dirt road at Gramma's. Danny was five and excited about the turtle having his head out of his shell, and Sharon stood above him saying, “Turtles eat tomatoes out of the garden. Let's kill this turtle."Beth made herself think of Melissa, Danny's little girl. How sweet, to have a toy room and a mommy and daddy and an Aunt Beth and a Pa and a Nana. "Pa, where's Nana?" she would alwaysPicas« see page 2Baseball, Volcanoes and Bad Thingsb y S u s a n M a r s a l a Second PrizeIt was five minutes before a quarter to three when Sister Teresa told us to put our chairs on our desks and say our afternoon prayers. The room clattered and clanged as we boosted our chairs to the tops of our desks, and slowly the room got real quiet. I liked it when things changed from noisy to quiet real fast. Then the bell rang, and we walked out of the room in single file because Sister Teresa liked us to do everything in single file. Sometimes I wondered if Sister Teresa thought in single file, and inside her head all her thoughts lined up in single file and then came outone at a time. Anyway, it was Friday, and I didn't want to think about Sister Teresa anymore. When we got outside it made me happy because it was still warm, and at the end of the corridor my brother, Marc, was waiting for me."lenny, you want to play ball with us today?" Marc asked. Marc was ten and he thought he was hotstuff; so he threw a baseball up in the air and caught it all the time."Can I?"

Danny and Debbie and Melissa were the perfect family—everyone said so. But Beth knew what perfection was for."The greatest regret of my life is that your father and I argued so much. I think it is why you never married, Beth, and I feel sad for you and the life you have.""Your mother smothered you. And don't you see how she competes? Whatever you did well, she d id b e t t e r . Even th e boys—remember how she wore hot pants to school to pick you up? And when you brought boys home—you didn't have a chance against her. It's why I'm glad to see you looking so good, why I wanted you to try on the clothes I bought you for Christmas while she was there. Did you see how she went to put on her new clothes too? AlwaySfCompeting. Well, no one made over her much this time. I almost felt sorry for her.""Your father always thought of me as his possession, something he could show off and be proud about. He liked to dress me, like a Barbie doll. On Christmas day, I saw all the dresses he bought you and I thought, 'Aha. A new Barbie doll.' ""Now your mother thinks she is a writer. How do you feel about that, Beth? That was one thing you had on her. You never showed me anything you wrote—you didn't show her either, did you? Well, she's not shy about it. She says she'll get published. You never did, you know. You don't try to write anymore, do you?""Your father trapped me in the house the day we were moving my things out. He started out sensible about insurance and things like that but he got more and more out of control. He said he knows I'm 'messing around,' that that's the only reason I would leave him. He asked for a goodbye kiss. And I thought,'»'You're writing a story for me, you bastard, you're writing me a story...'—Would you like to see it?""My girl at work showed me an article the other day. It says that children with dom ineering mothers are incapable of making decisions. You never realized it till now, probably, but that's what's wrong with you—you had a d o m in eerin g m other — she wouldn't let me get close. Now, I'm giving you this money for school. You tried to get through graduate school without help and you failed. I'll give you this check, and you let me know when you need more. And I expect some decisions from you—some good decisions—in the next couple of years.""He was always strange about sex, almost as if he hated women. Once when I touched him he said,'You want too much. You women, you make us weak.' And he always wanted to take chances. After you, I didn't want any more, did not want to bring any more children into such an ugly life. But he forced me, and then when I got pregnant with Danny he said, 'Look what you've done. You've ruined my life.' Tm sure he's why you're the way you are. You know what they say about domineering fathers. And now he's giving you money for school. After all these years of giving you nothing, he's trying to buy you off. Take it, Beth. Take him for all he's worth.""She got sick when she was pregnant with Danny. So you stayed with my mother till afterwards. It was two weeks and when I brought you home, you wouldn't have anything to do with her. She hated that.

I hope it stays that way. You'll be moving back here after school, I think. You know, though. I've been wondering about Ann. You two girls have been together a long time—five years? It'll be hard to leave her, won't it? Have you thought about that at all?""Your father makes remarks, you know. Sarcastic. He thinks women without men are amusing. I have to admit it makes me sad. How can you be happy without a man.**"Thirty-two years...Now she says she was never happy. She's lying. You kids never saw that part, but it was good in bed right up to the end.""I always-wondered why you liked literature—well, / always liked to read, too—but the writing, I couldn't figure out who you got that from, it wasn't in either of our families. Then, when I went to school, I just fell in love with my literature courses. And I'm the writer, that's where you got it!"'If I hadn't let her go to school, this would never have happened. She took those damn classes—women's literature, I think that was the one that set it all off. If you read all that cynical shit all the time, it gets to you. I think that was the cause of a lot of your problems, all these modern writers. They don't believe in anything. I wanted you to be a doctor, and you majored in English. I knew you'd never do anything with it. Just like I told you when you moved out there, you threw your life away. You dropped out, that's what you did. You're thirty years old. My God.""Do you think you'll move closer to home when you finish school? I need you. I tell you everything. You're my best friend, Beth.""I know I made a lot of mistakes with you kids. Danny got over it, but you—your mother wouldn't let me have you. From now on, though, things will be different. From now on I 'll have a say in how you conduct your life.""It was Miss MacDonald, your first grade teacher. She took me aside when Danny started school and she said, 'Now, don't ever ex- F>ect the same from Danny as you do from Beth. It wouldn't be fair to him.' I'll always be grateful to her for that. Think what I might have done to him if I had pushed him! Sometimes, though, I wish it had been easier if Danny had been the special one."Danny was the special one. He was Beth's sweetest memory. She used to say that if she could only find someone like Danny, she just might marry him. But there would never be anyone.like Danny. Dad knocked him to the floor once, in a rage over "long-haired nigger- lovers," and Danny lay there with that hand at his throat, that fist above his face, and he said, "Dad, I love you." He was crying and he said that.And now Danny was determined to make a perfect family. He pointedly was everything they had wanted their father to be. He made pancakes, he hugged people, he could not take his eyes off Melissa. He never worked late, never raised his voice, never threw things. He married a distant woman unlike his mother, he let her keep the money, he said money was for spending. Melissa would have everything.And still there would be turtles in the road. Beth knew it.Beth remembers too much. I don't let myself. I live in California. West Virginia, where Beth grew up, is a place nobody ever heard of.

My mother's so pretty when she laughs. Marc's friend Peter said she's foxy, but I just think she has the most beautiful eyes in the world. Anyway, it was a short trip to the pifice where I was supposed to have my appointment.'The office was kind of small and skinny, and there were plants everywhere—big ones with little leafs and little ones with big leafs. In one corner was a plant hanger that ^ somebody was making but hadn't finished,* and in the middle of the room there was a secretary's <^ esk with no secretary in it."What do we do?" I whispered to my mother.“We'll just sit down and wait," she said.I picked up a book off thè table that was made out of the same stuff as baskets and sat dovm next to my mom on the green couchi I rubbed my arm against the soft, fluffy ‘ material and said, "We should get some furniture that's all velvety like this." ^ ^ *■"Do you like that?" my mom said with a smile, "it's called velour. Maybe we can see about getting a blouse or a dress for you made out of velour.""Yeah, but not a dress, okay? How about a baseball Jl“ shirt in red or yellow?""We'll see," my mother said laughing ajm e. "We'll see" was one of my mother's favorite things to say, and it usually meant no.I looked at the book for a second, and it was filled with pictures of lambs and other animals so I threw it on the table and said, "Baby stuff." I rolled my eyes up in my head when I said "baby stuff," and my mother tried not to smile and said, "Your eyes are going to get stuck if you keep doing that.""Sure, Mom," I said in that tone, but I smiled to tease her.Then a tall, skinny lady walked out of another office, and smiling at my mother she said, "Hello, Mrs. Weiss, it's nice to see you."“Please call me Emily," my mom said, "and this is my daughter, Jennifer.""Jenny! Mother!""Jennifer prefers to be called Jenny, and Jenny had better watch her tone of voice," my mother said looking down at me."Well, I'll be sure to call you Jenny," the lady said. She had a nice smile."Jenny," said my mother, "this is Mrs. Higgenbottom." And I cracked-up because her name sounded so funny."I know it's a funny name," the lady said, "so you can call me Valerie or Val if you like." 'Then she told me to I come into her other office.' My head began to feel funny again, but I didn't pretend it was a balloon now. "Can my mother come too?" I asked her."Not this time; 1 want to talk to you alone, but if you feel like you need your mother then we'll call her in right away. Okay?""Okay," I said and followed her into the little office, and she closed the door. For a second I stood there, and then she said I could sit wherever I liked.

She had gray-colored eyes and straight white teeth and tight brown hair, and her voice was quiet—not like a whisper—fust quiet. So I sat in the wooden chair and spun around two or three times.“How old are you?" she asked.“Eight. I tu m ^ eight April fifteenth."“You were born in the springtime, fust like chickens and bunnies," she sort of giggled when she said that. I hadn't thought of that, but I liked thinking about it now, so I im aging, }ust for a second, that I was a little rabbit scrunching my nose. “Do you have any brothers and sisters?" she asked.“Just brothers," I said. “I wish I had a sister, but all I got was Eric and Marc."“How old are they?" she asked.When I stopped spinning, I saw that she was writing down what I said. “Eric is seventeen, and Marc is ten. Are you going to write down everything I say?" ^I asked her because all that writing was making me worry.“No, Jenny, these are fust some things I need for my records. J'll quit writing now."“It's okay. I fust was wondering.""Well, I have what I need, but I would like to know some things about you."I stopped spinning again and pushed the chair back a little. “You mean like about what happened with that man?" I asked her.“No we don't need to talk about that just yet. Tell me about the things you like to do."“I like baseball,"! said.“So do I," she said back.“You mean whm you were a kid?"“Yes, and now, too," she smiled a little bit, “I used to be a professional softball player.""Really? My dad took rne to see one of those games. Boy, those ladies pitch fast."“They sure do," she said. And 1 noticed that she did look kind of athletic because she was wearing new blue- ieens and a short-sleeved shirt that made her arms look strong. “What else do you like to do?" she asked.“I like to watch TV, but my mom and dad only let us watch on Saturday night; 1 like to read books."“What kind of l ^ k s do you like?" she asked, ever reSlfiiose?^****^^ Charlotte's Webb. Did youI think I did. Do you read those books yourself?"“Well, Mom reads most of them to me because they've got words that take me a long time to figure out; sometimes 1 can understand what they mean Just by the way Mom says them."“How about your dad? Does he ever read to you?"“He picks neat booksi" 1 said thinking about Tom Sawyer and Treasure Island. “But he doesn't read to me anymore."“Why not?" she asked making a little frown.“Because 1 don't like for him to come into my room," 1 said in a quiet voice.“1 see. Jenny, do you understand why you're here?"“Mom said you were going to help me not to be upset.""That's more or less correct," she said, “Every week you can come and talk to me for a half an hour or so, and we'll talk like we did today.""But I'm not up>set."“Your parents think you are;, they told me you were having trouble in school." '“That's only because they put me in Catholic school. It's bad enough having to go to mass on Sunday, but then school, too. Mom did it because she says they watch us better and we're safer. Marc hates it too."“Well, I'm afraid you're stuck in that school for as long as your parents say so. But, I can help you adjust to your new school, and maybe it won't be so bad." She stopped for a second. “Do you think you would like to come and talk to me?", That was hard to answer because I liked the swivel chair, and I liked knowing a grown-up I could call by her first name, and I liked Val on account of she liked baseball and all, but I didn't know if I wanted to come back every week. Finally, I said I'd guess it would be okay, and then it was time to leave.When we got in the car Mom asked me how it went, and I said it was fine, and I told her how Val liked baseball, and she said it was nice that we had something in common. That was another thing my mother liked to say—that people have “things in commom". We were both quiet the rest of the way home. I Just stared out the- . window at the stores, especially the ones that had Halloween costumes in the windows.By almost Christmastime, I'd gotten pretty used to going to see Val. We couldn't play baseball or soccer now because it was raining most of the time; so I read lots of books. Mom gave me a book called A Christmas Carol. and I liked it—especially the part about Tiny Tim. And so I pretended I was Tiny Tim and acted like I had crutches, and that made Marc laugh at me. I could remember everything Tiny Tim said on account of my memory was photographic like my dad's. Sometimes I made up things for Tiny Tim to say, but the winter was pretty boring because Mom and Dad wouldn't let us have a video game for the TV set.One Thursday, it was raining so hard that my dad could barely see anything. It made me feel so cold to look at the rain even though it was toasty warm in the car. Dad always drove me to my appointment when it rained because my mom said driving in the rain horrified her. I didn't know exactly what “horrified" meant, but I think it means something bad, so I know I was horrified once.When I got to Val's office, I sat in the swivel chair and started to spin. Val was sitting across from me in a brown leather chair like the one in my dad's office.“Today," she said, “I'd like to talk to you about that nightmare you keep having about the clown."“Not again!" Val didn't seem to mind when I used that tone of voice. We had been talking about that stupid dream almost every time, and I didn't like to talk about it ^ I started spinning faster.“I know that it's scary for you to talk about those creams," Val said in her quiet voice, “but your mother L,.i/s that you're having these dreams three or four times a night. We need to talk about these dreams so that we can try and stop them."“Can't we do it another day?" I asked, slowing down.“No. I think we need to do it today," she reached out and stopped me from spinning. "Come on now, pay attention to me. Tell me about your dream again, but this time I want you to try to tell me everything you can remember."“You know what? I got three A's on my report card."“Terrific." Val said, and she le a h ^ back in her chair and Just looked at me. " ^I started to move the chair back and forth a little bit, “My dad gave me three bucks," I said, but she didn't answer. “Do we have to talk about that dream?"“Yes, because it will help make things better. Jenny, the only way to get rid of a problem is to face the problem. I know how hard this is lor you, but you have to try."“Okay, it Just seems so dumb—it's a stupid dream.""Just go ahead and tell me anyw ay .''“Well, when I go to sleep at night it's okay until he comes." /“You mean the clown?"“Yeah. He Just comes in and stands at the loot of my bed and looks at me." <“What does he do that scares you?"“He looks real weird." I said, spinning around once.“What do you moan?"“Well, he's dressed weird. He has on an old fishing hat like my dad's, and his clothes aren't like clown clothes—not all bright colors like normal, his shirt is black and his pants look like my dad's old army pants." I spun around watching the p ctures on the wall as 1 went round and round and round.“What about hU face?"“That scares me because it's clown face but all the colors are running together so it looks drippy and ugly."“Jenny have you ever been scared by a clown?""No, but at my friend Brenda's birthday party there was a clown, and I didn't like him because he hugged me. But I wasn't scared."“What does the clown in your dream do?" Val asked. I started spinning last again and the pictures on the wall Just smeared—zoom, zoom, zoom, Val put her loot out and stopped the chair, but the pictures kept smearing. "Does the clown hurt you Jenny?"“Val, I think I'm gonna throw-up." And then I did, all over the swivel chair and the brown carpet and all over me, too. So Dad took me home, and he rolled down all the windows in the car even though it was raining.The next week when I saw Val, I said 1 was sorry right away. She said it was okay, and I was glad the office smelled okay, and the swivel chair wasn't stained or anything, Val Just looked at me for a little while, and then she said, “Okay let's try again. No spinning today, and if you feel sick I want you to tell me right away."“Okay, I'm sorry."“That's okay. But I'm afraid we'll have to talk about the clown again today." Val said the last part in a softer voice."Oh," I said, and my stomach felt kind of sick again."Jenny, I want you to tell me what the clown does to you? Do you think you can do that?"“I don't know."“Will you try?" she asked.“It makes me feel so sick?" I said."What makes you feel sick?"“To think about how the clown..." X“How the clown does what?"“He touches me." I said kind of quiet; sort of hoping she wasn't going to ask me any more questions. Then Vail asked me where he touched me, and I didn't want to tell’ her, so I got up and sat on the big couch where she couldn't see me so good. I curled up in a little bell with my lace pressing into the back of the couch. And my face was so hot that I imagined that it burned right through the couch and through the wall and out to where the air^ 5 h o r t^ T O R IE Swas cold. Then Val came and sat next tornie and Just put her hands on my shoulders. i“It embarrasses, ydu to ted me these things doesn't it?" Val said in a tone that sounded very sorry."Can't we Just forget that stupid clown? Please!"“No, I'm sorry, but we Just can't. The dream isn't going to let you forget."And 1 guess 1 started to cry because my lace was' ah wet, and I thought about Mt. St. Helens, and how my dad had read to me about how it expolded. I thought that this was what it must have felt like to explode—all hot and wet and not being able to stop. I looked at Val, and she had that same look my mom gets; her eyes were kind of squinting, and I Just felt so sorry. I was glad that Val said 1 could go home. * ^The rain seemed to come almost every day now. Every Thursday, I went to see Val, and she didn't seem to be so worried about the clown anymore. I was beginning to like school a little bit, and because of the rain we had to play P. E. in the gym. Father Michael was in charge of the games, and he was always thinking up new things lor us to play. One day he had us get a soccer ball, and he put ten players on each team. Father said that the object was to kick the ball down to the other end of the court; once the ball passed the yellow line there were two players, one from each team, and they could pick the ball up and run with it. But the hard part was if you were tagged or dropped the ball you couldn't score. I was playing down by the goal, and Father Michael gave the ball to my brother Marc, and Marc kicked the ball real far to his friend James, and James kicked the ball right to Bflan, and Brian kicked it to me. Well, 1 picked up the ball and started to run my fastesT.'^and Bobby tried to tag me and sort of caught my shirt and fell right on top of me. And I started to scream my loudest, and I could hear my brother Marc yelling, "no fair, no fair". And I started to hit Bobby and I hit him apd I hit him, and I hit him my hardest, and I couldn't stop. I was so mad and scared, and then Bobby was gone and Father Michael touched me so I hit him, and I kicked him, and 1 bit him, and then I ran to the corner and squatted down until Sister Teresa came and got me.When my mother and father got there, 1 told them I was sorry and I told Sister Teresa I was sorry that I hit Bobby and Father Michael, but Sister Teresa said it was okay becuase nobody got hurt, and I was glad I got to go home early. When I got in the car, I asked my mom if I could go and see Val even though it wasn't Thursday, but she said that Val was out of town, and I could see her tomorrow.Alter we got home, my mom went and did the laundry, and my dad went into his study to work out. My dad liked to work out with weights. My kjrother Eric called it "pumping iron." Eric looked so funny when he lifted weights next to my dad. Eric was so scrawny. But my dad looked neat. So I went in to watch him because I couldn't think of anything else to do. I liked it when he got all sweaty and his muscles got all shiny. And his legs looked so funny because they're all hairy. My mom said he looked disgusting when he worked out, but I think he looked neat.I sat down at my dad's desk and started looking at all his drawings. There was one of a glass of beer; it was all foamy looking and had a picture of a lady in a long red dress. My dad made pictures because he had an advertising comp)any; so he draws commercials for TV and magazines. He also liked to paint pictures of beautiful flowers, and once he painted my picture, only I didn't like it because he painted me with pigtails and I wanted short hair. But he said that he had to paint me how I really looked; so I didn't say anymore so 1 wouldn't hurt his feelings. But I liked most of his paintings.He was starting to get all r ^ and sweaty now, and I could see where some of his muscles were getting bright red, but the rest of his skin was staying all white; so he ^ looked kind of blotchy. And I thought it was real neat how you could see the blood under his skin. He seemed "different when he exercised—not like my dad but like somebody else. It made me feel all funny; kind of like 1 did when I told a He or did something bad. For some reason he seemed to be working rPal hard, and I kind of thought he wanted to be by himself; so I left.PlaaM 9— page 7Poly Royal, 1983 Q oôôG jrrentô Pages\TRYLeaving Left Aloftb y /uUcDuie PattmonI.

But then there was the son-gun out in the almond orchard. Now, there was something worth doing.The zon-gun wasn't much more than a h u d ttoisemaker, actually, it looked like a little yellow cannon sitting on a lawn chair frame. It was hooked h a butane tank with a little black hose, and when the gas went through the hose it turned a flywheel in the gun-'s chamber. The wheel struck a flint, which gave a spark, ignited that gas, and boom/ No crow in his right mind would hang around your orchard and eat your profits, even- though the noise was harmless enough. Mocfern science strikes again. ,It was kinda early in the year to be running the damn thing, but I figured what-the-hell? It was something to do, and, besides, maybe I could blast a few crows while 1 wa? out there. That'd liven up the day a little. So, ¡grabbed a box of 20-guage shells and went out to my Chevy stepside, where my shotgun was already hanging in the rifle rack behind the seat. (I always keep it there, cause you never know when it'll come in handy. Like when / shot that stray pheasant before the season opened last year, because he probably would've ended up in somebody's oven in three days anyhow.) Anyway, I drove out to the orchard.The gun was sitting about hallway into the orchard right next to a dirt access road that ran between our -_jirees and old Lou Kramer's. Old Kramer's almonds had - that “crazy top" virus so bad (the one that makes the tops of your trees grow in strange, twisted ways) that the tops of his trees were tangled up with ours, so it looked like a sort of tunnel between our two orchards. I parked the truck next to the zon, grabbed by 20-goL(M. and got out.There were a few crows in the trees'around me as I opened the valve on the butane tank. The gas hissed into the hose and / smiled to myself, thinking about how all ■ hell was gonna break loose for those miserable little block suckers in about two minutes. / shouldered my shotgun and waited.Sure enough, two minutes later, the zon-gun went off with a boom loud enough to shake the nuts outta the trees. I cut loose with my 20-gua<,e at about the same time. Five crows scattered into the ai,. but one o f 'em fell into old Kramer's orchard.Well, I figured that was it for the crows'that day, but I hadn't figured on an old bird by me name o f Kramer. I was just about to get into my Chevy after I tossed the shotgun onto the seat, when I heard this beeping noise. It was the horn o f Lou Kramer's old Willy's jeep, and he kept beeping it as he tore down thdt access road from his house. He must've been doing about sixty, and he was raising enough dust to choke half the county. A nd when he wasn't hitting his horn he was shaking his fist and yelling at me in that bellowing voice olhis.'Crater, you turn that goddam thing off and cut out that damn noise," he shouted as he slammed on his brakes and stopped about ten leet short o f my Chevy. I couldn't help it. I just had to laugh as he stumbled outta his jeep and fell on his ancient behind. God, he was funny when he was riled up! He picked himself up, dusted himself oft, and cussed some more.“Just whose mother are you referrin' to, sir?" I said.“Never you mind whose mother I'm talkin' about, you little sonuvabitch! You just do something about that goddam noise. Can't a man get a little peace and quiet around here anymore. That's what I m oved outta town for in the first place ten years ago. To get some peace and quiet and to get away from'wviseass bastards like you," he said. /“Now, what the hell do you want with peace and quiet at three o'clock in the afternoon? Can't hear 'Gilligan's Island" on Channel Forty, now? Or are you watchin' “Lost in ^oace"on Channel Thirty, now?" Then I heard the zon-gun make a click and a hiss (that's what it does right before it goes off).“Head's up, Kramer,^" I shouted right before that sucker went off. Boom, and his face was starting to turn red. A nd I was trying hard to keep from laughing as he started stomping around and cussing again, but I just couldn't help it. It was the kind of laughing that comes out in one burst of spit while you're trying to hold your mouth shut.“You cut out that snickering, boy." he said, “less you want that cannon of yours shootin' you off to the moon or Mars or someplace."I was damn near on the ground. “Now, let me get this straight, ” I said. “You 're gonna stuff me in that zon -gun. aim it at the moon, and blast me outta it. You and who else, the goddam marines?" "“You're the one who's gonna need the mariryes you little. . ." Then he mumbled something that / could hardly make out. (I think it was something about hqw'I should live in San Francisco with the rest of the loudmouthed fairies.) Then he saw the dead crow in his orchard, and that's when the trouble started.“Now, you 're shootin' crows on my joroperty, you little sonuvabitch! Don't you even have any resjxc t for private property? How'd you like me to ..."“Now, look here Kramer," I said, “I shot that bird on. folir side o f the road, he just fell in your stinkin ' orchard.I can't say much for his taste in trees, that's for sure."To tell the truth, I really wasn't sure where that crow was when I shot him. Iju st shouldered m y 20-gauge and blasted into a group o f the suckers without paying any attention. But, wasn't I doing him a favor by shooting that crow anyway? (Jeez, yoù just can't figure some p eo p le.) A t any rate, he called me a liar. Then he took a kick at the zon, but he missed.“Strike one, "Isaid.Then he kicked it and knocked the tank over, and then the gun boomed again. That didn't bother me m uch.Then he went for m y truck.He kicked the left front tire. He put a damn gray smudge on it.Now I don't know about you, but when somebody messes with one of m y vehicles, well, I just can't handle it. If you don't believe me, just look at my bumper stickei— you know, one o f those that says: “If you value your life as much as I value this truck, don't mess with it. "“Cut it out. K r ^ e r , "Isaid.“Oh, so you don't like anybody messin ' with your shiny red toy. eh ? Well, how about this. " Then he kicked the door.That's all I could take. I grabbed that old bastard and heaved him onto the ground. Then he said something about suing me.'V4s far as the law's concerned, you're trespassin'. Now get the hell outta here, you stupid old fart, " I told him.Ah, why should I waste my time with a little smartass like you. He got up. got into his jeep, and drove off.“Up yours," I shouted at him. A t least I'd had the decency to leave his jeep alone. A nd nobody screwed with my truck and got away with it. He was damn lucky that I had to g a to the bank in Patterson before it closed, ¡turned the zon-gun off and went to town.I had cooled off some as I stepped out of the Wells Fargo on the Patterson circle at about three o'clock. The circle was a round concrete island with a building (one of the oldest in town) on it that was surrounded by a street. A ll of the big streets of Patterson- radiated out „ from it like spokes in a wheel.I was just 'about to get in my Chevy, when I saw old Lou Kramer's jeep pull away from the grocery store right across from me. He whipped around the circle twice, just looking at me.The third time, he flipped me off.I got my truck started and took off after him. but he pulled off on some street on the other side o f the circle and was long gone. I drove home.I waited till about six the next morning. Then I got the zon-gun and took it down the access road, stopping about SO yards from Kramer's house. Our orchard e x tended to about 20 yards from the house, so I carried the gun and tank on foot through the orchard, set it up on the edge, and waited.BoomI Nothing happened.Boom again. Then the bedroom light came on .He was out on his front porch by the time o f the third boom.“You little wiseass, " he yelled, “how'd you like me to call the sheriff?"I told him to go ahead, because I'd just be gone before he got there. The sheriff wouldn't give a damn about some old geezer anyway. He went back inside and I grabbed the gun and left.The sheriff paid me a little visit that afternoon. He told me what Kramer hod told him, and I told him that the old dude was full o f it. Then he told me to watch m y ass.He shouldn 7 of told me that. I went out there the next day with the zon -gun and a few bottle rockets. I felt like a regular army general, what with my heavy artillery and modern rocket weajxms.Boom, and the zon-gun brought him out to his porch.“Goddam you Crater! Can't that sheriff do anything right? Why aren't you in jail?" I answered him with a bottle rocket through his front door. It was great. It just missed his head. Then he yelled something about a fire in his living room.Well, he pu t that one out pretty damn quick, let me tell you. He came back out and I offered him a deal. A ll he had to do was apologize to me. That's all I asked for. His only anstver was his middle finger. Thai's when I launched a rocket at that old, dried up lawn o f his. It started to smolder and then a little flame jumped out.He started stumbling around his garbage house looking for a garden hose. I let out a yell and said that the next one was going in his garage, but I decided that that would be a little too much, so I just launched one into the air instead. Kramer started watering his burning lawn. I just laughed.Well, he put that fire out too. Then he looked at me and shook his fist.“You teenage bastards are all alike, "h e shouted."You can say the same thing tor old farts, " I shouted back. * •“You come outta that orchard of yours boy, and I'll give you an apology you 'II never forget, "he said."You make a lotta noise, old man, " I told him, “but you 're harmless enough. You 're all sound with nothin ' to back it up. " Then I cut loose \vith another rocket. He cussed and stormed back into\his house. I figured that was all for the day, so Heft.When I got back to m y house, I decided to make a ten - nis ball cannon for tomorrow. After I bought two cans of^ 5 h o r t3 tORIE5tennis balls from the sporting goods store, I went back home and cut the bottom off o f one of them. I taped the open ends oHhe cans together and I was all set. A ll I had to do was put some lighter fluid in the “cannon," drop a ball in it, strike a match to the bottom, and foompl Ten- ' nis balls would bouncing off the old man's roof. Dad caught me making the cannon in the shcp and knew right off what I was making it for. He said that I should leave old Kramer alone, but that he knew I wouldn't, because it was just something that I had to get out o f my system. I nodded and walked back to the house.Well, at six the next morning I was back at m y usual spot on the edge o f our almond orchard. I turned on the zon-gun and launched my first tennis ball. It bounced down the other side of his roof. Then he came out on the porcA.“You little smartossi Try this on for size ," he shouted as he pulled out something from a bag he was carrying.He lit a fuse on the end o f it and threw it before I was even sure about what was going on.It landed in front o f me and all hell broke loose, with a — ■ popping h u d enough to wake the dead. It was a string of the loudest little firecrackers that I had ever heard in my entire life. I jumped back as those little devils spat and popped towards me and my arsenal. I recovered though, and fought back with a tennis ball and bottle rocket attack.If you'd been there that day and didn't know you were in the San Joaquin Valley, you would o f swore that you were some Arab country fighting for Allah or something. What with the zon-gun booming, the tennis balls and bottle rockets flying, and the firecrackers popping, it sounded like Itpn was going at Iraq again. This went on for about fifteen minutes, until I ran out o f ammo. I figured Kramer was out too, since the firecrackers stopp ed coming.I walked out of the orchard toward the old man. He started to back off a few steps."Kramer," I said, "I've gotta hand it to you, that was ' one hell o f a fight. Yes sir, not too shabby for an old fart like you."He just reached into his bag and said to me, “A n d it ain't over yet, you title smortass." He pulled a little red stick about four inches long out o f it. It was a goddam M- 80 (one fourth o f a stick of dynamite).“Now, wait a minute, Kramer," I said as I started to backoff.“Wait? For what? you little bastard," he said as he lit the fuse. “You shoulda thought about what you were doin' days ago. Now it's m y turn." Then he tossed the M- 80 into the bock o f my Chevy.I had to give him credit for a nice toss. Almost fifty yards oway and it landed right in the middle o f m y truck bed. I gave him credit for the blast that broke m y rear window arid put one hell o f a big dent in the bottom o f the bed."Goddam old fart I You 're gonna pay for that," I said."Oh, am I?" he said. "You come bock and try to collect. I'll be waitin' for you, you little sonuvabitch."I stormed back to my truck, brushed the glass off the seat, and roared out of there. I was determined to nail that old man. and I had a friend in town that I knew I could buy a few MSG'S off of.The next day, I drove right up to his lawn. The zon- gun was sitting in the bed. I turned it on and shouted, "It's time to pay up, you old fart."Boom. Nothinghajopened.Boom again. Still nothing.I pulled a bag of M-80's out of the truck. I lit one and tossed it onto his porch.Blam! It blew a few boards off and shattered a few windows. Still nothing from the old man.I tossed one more M-80. It blew some shingles off the roof.The place seemed deserted. I figured that the old man was either trying to ignore me or he had taken off because he didn't want to face me. So, I clim bed into the truck and got ready to drive off.Then I looked in m y rearview mirror.There he was with a shotgun in his hands. He must've been hiding somewhere in his orchard on the left side of the access road."Now, boy, "he said.Now let me tell you, if he had told me to kiss a toad'sPI«M « t « « pag« 7Poly Royal. 1983 Qo5 5 GjRRENT5 Pago?BasebalL Volcanoes and Bad ThingsFnNnpag*4That night at the dinner table, everybody was sort of quiet. Marc was mad at me because he said I acted like a weirdo at school. Mom and Dad yelled at him for saying that, and then my dad kept telling jokes but nobody laughed too much. By eight o'clock, I wanted to go to bed, so I locked all the doors and chjscked the lock on my bedroom window two times. My mom asked me if I wanted her to read to me, but I told her that I just wanted to go to sleep. So my mom tucked me in and kissed my head and left the light on for me. Then I closed my eyes and just pretended that I was in Val's office, and she was just talking to me about baseball and stuff, and then my body began to tingle, and evd'ryfhing was' like summertime—all warm and happy, and I couldn't feel my toes or legs.First came the dark. Then it changed to gray, then he came in. Not the clown, not the clown, this time it was him. He stood in front of me. I started to run. My feet got caught in something mushy. I looked down, and there was blood—blood all over the floor. Blood ran all over my feet and all over my legs. It was thick mushy blood, and I thought it was my blood and I smelled the blood and I thought 1 would die. The blood felt warm until I fell into it. A.nd then it was cold and it covered my face and tasted salty. Then he laughed, and I choked in the blood. And then 1 caught one breath and I screamed. And then my dad was there and the Ijght was on, and 1 don't know why I pushed my daddy away, but I did. I ran into the bathroom and locked the door and squatted in the corner like a crumpled old rag. And my mom knocked on the door, and I heard my dad say that he could knock the door down. And my voice made a funny noise like puppies did when they had to be all alone at night. And then my dad picked the lock, and my mom came in, and thenshe got me clean pajamas and cleaned me up and helped me back to bed. And she just sat next to me and never left the whole night.In the morning, my mom made me breakfast, and then I got dressed, and we went to Val's office. 1 felt so sick even before we left the house and when 1 got inside the office and sal in the swivel chair, I tried not to look at Val.'T heard you had a couple of bad days," Val said.“Kind of," I said in a whisper."Kind of," she said in a quiet voice, "Do you want to tell me about it?""No. I just want to forget it, okay?""Sweety, that's just not going to work. I think you need to talk about these things. I think you'll feel much better." Val said sort of staring at me. “Did you have a nightmare last night?""Yeah, a real bad one." I said."Why don't you tell me about it?"So I told Val all about the blood and the man and my mom and dad. And I told her about what happened at school too, and about Marc calling me a weirdo. And then, all of a sudden, I just told her all about the man who put me in his car one day after school; I told her how he touched me and hurt me.Val didn't say anything for a long time. She just listened and watched me. "Jenny, how do you feel now?""I feel awful. I don't feel like me."“What do you mean by that?" she asked.'T don't know. I don't want to talk about this anymore."“Believe it or not, talking about it will make it better," Val said. "If you can talk to me about how you feel, you'll probably feel better.""Will I quit having nightmares?" * ^"Maybe not right away, but eventually I think you'll have fewer of them, and they might even go away."I got up and sat on the couch next to Val, for some reason the swivel chair was hurting my bottom. “I can still come here and talk to you, can't I?" I asked."Of course!" Val said opening her eyes real wide. "What made you think you couldn’t?''"I don't know. Evrything is all mixed up." I said, rubbing my hands over my eyes."Jenny, did you think I wouldn't like you if I knew what had happened to you?""I guess so. Do you think I'm bad?""No, I don't think you're bad. You couldn't help what happened to you. It wasn't your fault." ^I couldn't think of what to say so I looked at the floor. I just couldn't look at Val or talk to her. But after a feW'T'Zon-GunFrom pago 6behind right then and there, I would have done it. All that stood between me and a tombstone was a nonexistent rear window. I could already hear the preacher talking about what a good kid I was over at the funeral home. That's when Kramer did something that I hadn't figured on.He looked into my rearview. Then he looked at me. Then he looked at himself. When he walked around to the side of m y truck I thought that 1 was going to wet my pants.He looked into my open window, his shotgun muzzle pointing right at my nose."Little nervous, boy? Started writin'your will already, haven't ya?" I kept m y mouth shut."You said once that I made a h tta noise, but I'm harmless, right? You sure aren't making much noise yourself right now though, are ya ? l could keep you from m akin 'any noise ever again, couldn't I boy?" he said. I had nothing to odd.He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. A nd then he tossed two SO dollar bills into the cab."That'll start to cover some o f the damage to your truck, boy, " h e said. "You'll get the rest later. Now, I'm gonna let you go in a second, but I want you to listen to me first. You listenin'? Nod your head. Good. Now, you remember this boy. It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it. Even if you keep doin' thé things you ahvays used to do, you're still gonna grow older. You can't stop the years, boy. Now, if I was to kill you, that'd stop you from ever grow in' older, but I want you to grow older. I want you to learn about what it's like. Learn like I learned. Get outta here boy, and go to hell!"I turned around and drove out of there real slow, always keeping my eye on the rearview. He just stood there and watched me leave, his shoulders hunched holding his shotgun. I stepped on it when I reached the end o f the access road between the orchards. When I got back to the house, the zon-gun boomed and damn near gave me a heart attack. I turqedit off.1 never did see old Kramer again. He had a heart attack about two weeks after all this happened. A nd all this happened about three years ago. A n d I still keep thinking about it.Maybe I'll learn about what he meant when I get a little older. But, hell. I won't sweat it. Besides, from the way he wos talking, maybe I don't want to learn It anyhow.ChorlM Cam pbellThird PrizeDELINFVV \ ' SI V )ELICA ÍllEKrAMIKHFEATURING:lox k. bagels# pastrami# corned beef .soup & salad bar e beer k. wineBREAKFAST • LONCH • DINNERnsHcoim"Fresh Local Seafood" 1185 Embarcadero; Morro Bay-------- 838$1.99 SALAD BARafter 4 pm_______________785 HIGUERA ST.

"How can it get better?" I asked in that tone."Well, maybe we can stop those nightmares, and then maybe you wouldn't be so afraid all the time. Wouldn' that be better?""I guess," I said, but I still didn't like the whole idea, "You know what my dad always says?""No. What?" she asked."He says, 'better is better than nothing'."Val smiled at me, but I didn't smile back. I just looked over her shoulder and out the window. Outside, I could see a patch of black shiny road, and it was rainy and sun ny all at the same time. And I wondered how it could do that, and why things didn't happen one at a time. And then I asked Val if I could go home now, and she said sure because we were done for today.■ . V e V A W . V . V .
