Rai'sin harvest program
nears big breakthrough
valley growers may someday have less reason
to fear the threat of September rains akin to
those that decimated last years' raisin harvest,
if two experimental raisin drying processes
currently being researched by the CSUF Viticulture Department are successful.
The first, the · revolutionary Dried-On-The
Vine (DOV) process, would reduce the susceptib111ty of the drying fruit~ rain damage. The
second, the more conventional Sprayed-On-TheTray (SOT) process, would significantly curtail
the harvest period, and thus minimize crop
exposure to· the unpredictable elements.
The DOV experiment "is the first of its
kind in the United states," said Project Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci.
The DOV process entails the spraying of the
grape bunches with a combination of food grade
materials that d:ry the fruit on the vine, and
then mechanically harvesting the crop after a
one-to-three week drying period, dependent UPon
vineyard and weather conditions.
Chemically _drying raisins -ls nothing new,
RAISIN RESEARCH PROJECT Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci
(right) and Field Analyst Dave Foster {left) are
spea:hea~ing the experimental raisin drying pro-
said Petrucci, as the process is quite P,revalent in Australia and other countries. But it
is new to Valley growers, conditioned to the
usual handpicked-and-dried-by-sunlight method.
In comparison with the natural method, the
time factors are similar (roughly one month
for the entire process). However, the DOV
costs more, and there is as yet an unexplained
10-20 per cent crop yield loss, and a myriad
of costly and necessary vineyard alterations
that must be adopted to facilitate the harvesting process, including special trellising and
pruning of the vine.
But the DOV method's plusses far outweigh
• its minuses, said th_e project's field analyst and
Petrucci's top assistant, Dave Foster.
"By keeping the crop off the ground (the single
major advantage of the DOV process) you minimize the rain problem," explained Foster. He
adtled that as labor becomes scarce and its
cost escalates, the DOV procedure_ will offer
a viable alternative when perfected.
Foster believes that 1f the DOV method is

eventually adopted, the handpicked labor currently employed to harvest the crop "w111 gradually
be dJsplaced." In tts stead w111 arise a "need
'for · skllled pruners to prune the vineyard
properly" on the trellises, to accommodate the
spraying procedure and to fac111tate the mechanized harvesting of the crop.
Also, as sanitary standards for raisin production grow more stringent, the DOV process
would eliminate m:>st contamination from bird,
insect, or animal feces.
Foster, who ts responsible for all fleld
research, said that while the project ls progressing at a satisfactory pace, "we're still
in the experimental stages, gathering data." He
foresees large scale adoption of the procedure
as "a bit further down the road."
Eventually, Foster said 'they hope to hone
the procedure to such a flexible degree that
any farmer can adapt his operation to DOV
using conyentlonal systems and equipment.
Until then, Foster urges few farmers to
apply the method, c1Ung numerous examples of
grower failures due to lack of preparation that
set back the program a fe·w years ago.
"This ts a relatively sophisticated operation,"
said Foster, and most of today's raisin growers
are not yet able to co:Re with its intricacies
and conditions wltqout supervision, or the exorbitant conversion costs.
To convert from a conventional system to
the OOV process would require a farmer to
retrellls his vineyard, thin the follage, _and obtain
. the use of a mechanical harvester, all costly
expenditures.

'Bakke Decision' Incites Protest==T=======herewi=llbe=aMEC=HAm=eeting=today=atl2:0=0.

By Diane Solis
Stormy clouds of controversy
have banked over the Supreme
Court of the United States for the
last year. Within the next month.
the Supreme Court wlll review
one of the most important civll
rights decisions since the desegregatlr n rulings of the 1950's.
In center ls Allan Bakke, a 38
year-old white engineer .'who
wants to become a doctor • .He
was twice denied admission to the
University of Caltforijia Medical
School at Davis, which set a goal
of 16 to 100 places for minorities.
Bakke then. sued claiming that the
university's minority admissions program unfairly discriminated against him by admitting
"less-qualified" minority students.
If Bakke wins his case, it wi,11
ignite a dangerous precedent that
may well collapse affirmative
action programs throughout the
nation.
Because of the lctng history of
flagrant discrimination against
mlnorlties, a tidal wave of litigation seiiking equal rights ensued with the passage of the Clvtl
Rights Act of 1964. A victory for
Bakke wtll recede the advances
of that Ude and recede all the
gains made not only by minorities
but women, veterans and the
handicapped.
Also, there ls a strong conviction among lawyers, particularly the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund
(MALDEF), that the case was .so
poorly prepared In state courts
that it ls not a good test case on
the basic constitutional issue at
stake.
Many· theorized that the university helped engineer Bakke's
challenge to its special admlssions program. The university
was also said to have made major
concessions to Bakke's side during the case, just to insure that
the issues would be presented l_n
s11ch a way that the quota system
would have little chance of surviving the challenge.
MALDEF and other organizations are urging the justices to
simply overturn the original California Supreme Court ruling,
whi,ch nullified the regents' quota .
·system, and then send the case
back to that tribunal for further
development.
Toward tlfis goal anAnti-Bakke
Decision Committee (ABDC) has
been formed, aiming their struggle not just at the courts, but
with conferences, rallies and demonstrations against the Bakke
decision.
The ABDC ls calllng on all people to join with them Oct. 15 at
the federal building in San Francisco for a National Day of Solidarity against the Bakke decision.
Locally, the ABDC holds regional meetings every Wednesday

A ShOrt Story
By Pedro Ramirez
I awoke. staring into a dark
stlent room. Looking around,
everything that! looked a,,t seemed
strange. I could see dark Images
against the wall. I tried to focus
on something that was familiar,
the stained green . cetllng with
cracks that ran on lt. My eyes
followed the path of a fly that
Zipped by, the picture of my mother on the wall. Then I could
smell the fresh scent of tortillas being· made and it assured
me of being home. As the sun
peeped Into the cracks of the
stale whlte curtains I could hear
the clattering of dishes, the sizzling of food cooking, the soft
pound of torijlas being made.
I rolled on my· side and curling
my tongue with hunger, jumped
out of bed. I walked out of my
cold shabby room and went directly to the kitchen. The coldness of the floor made me stum- ·
ble down the hallway.
As I·
entered, my mom, who was cooking, told me that everyone had
gone to work. They left me again.
I was small at the time; so my
father had promised to take me,
but he never did. Everyone had
gone.
I sat down and looking up I
noticed ' my mother's smooth
brown skin and her soft brown
eyes, that slightly glowed in the
dimly lltkltchen. Her thick, black
curly hair made her face round
,and her s.m ne made her chubby
cheeks stand out. As_she served
me her chubby body felt warm
next to mine. I ate.
Finishing, she asked me what I
had planned for the day. I told
her that I wanted to visit my
grandmother.
We li~ed in a small woodenframed house behind ~y grandmother's house. It was a cozy
home, during the day it seemed
warm and at night it was cold.
The kitchen always seemed to be
warm, no matter what season
of the year it was. I finished
eating dnd my mom had her back
turned to me. She was washing
dishes and as I got up out of my
chair, she turned, I stood looking
at her, she dazed at me and
waited for me to tell her what
plans I had, I stepped closer
and asked her.
"Can I please go outside
mama?"
"Yes, but watch yourself and
don't let anyone bother you."
"See you later."
"Okay hijo."
Walking out, the fresh smell
of watered soll seeped through
my nose, and the crisp fresh
air made my body shiver. Directly in front of me stood the
big, green framed house that belonged to my grandparents. The
paint on it was chipped and the
rusted screens stayed in place.
I loo~ed around the big yard that
both of us shared, it was covered
with frost, the sun would soon
melt it. The two big round trash
cans that stood in the center of
the yard were fllled to the brim
and I wondered how the trash men
could carry those big heavy cans
across the yard. The big cherry
tree that branched out into the sky
was still. Oyr tree house laid
in that tree, but was covered by
the branches that hung over it.
As I walked to my grandmother's house, the plants that lined
her house seemed tobealivewith
the morning sun. Looking to a
side,
I 1rould see the fresh
tire tracks of my father's car.
Entering the house, the sweet
stale scent of my grandparents
house assured me that one of
them was home. I walked through
the dark cold hallway. As I
entered to the main part of the
house through the door, I could
hear my grandmother in the dimly
lit kitchen. I stepped in. She
was sitting on a chair next to a
chair next to a small round table,
seeing me, she called me over.
Her skin that had been like my
mothers, was old and shrivled,
her glassy black eyes stared into
mint.

Abuelo (grandfather)," I asked her.
In a very soft voice she answered.
"Working in the compress, h~e
went in at six." •
"Why so early?"
"No se; they just called him to
work."
Sipping her coffee, her black
grayish hair curly and bushy, like
my m(!m•s~ blended into the darkness of the dimly lit room. She
stood up and the dress she had
_on had the sweet scent the house
always had. Feet dragging, she
went to wash dishes. As I sat,
she stood washing the dishes,
then in that low, aged voice she

told me toruae somewhere qutckly; I jumped out ot bed and jumped behind the dresser. I knew we
didn't have a ·chance because all
our men were gone. They had
gone off to other parts of the
country. I began to feel cold, because I knew my famtly could
all be killed. I could hear gun
shots in the distance, people
screaming and yelling as they
entered houses. My body fell into
a chlll. I grew tense. our front

me numb. I could not move. I
felt like jumping out and helping
my mother, but I knew she
wouldn't like that. I peeped into
the living room to see who it was.
A stalky, short mexicano stood by
my mother. They both stood talking, but I couldn't hear them. I
tried to focus on what they were
saying. I heard him say,
"Where ls everyo!le?"
"Please, .please leave my
house," my mother begged,
·"Shut up you stupid bitch. Who

The Instructionally Related Actlvtues contract, which provides
set funding levels for IRA programs for three years, has come

was ratified under questionable
and illegal circumstances.

Ecology essay p _rize
A New York -based conser-·
vatlon organization has announced an annual ·$8,000 scholarship program for university
students who submit winning
essays ln support of a Congressional bill aimed at ending hu_man
exploitation of animals.
The contest will center on
the Wllliams- Longs btll in the
Congress which would ban the
interstate shipment of furs from
any state or nation which has
the ct·evtce used to catch and hold
fur-bearing animals such as
racoon, bobcat and coyote, as
well as other animals wanted
by the tur industry.
The scholarship program was
made possible by a grant from
Regina Bauer Frankenburg, a
director of Friends of Animals,
Inc., and pr_esident of its Washington lobby, the Committee for
Humane Legislation, Inc,
'•we want to encourage the young
people who wm be in charge
of a new world which includes
the earth and animals in its
ethical scheme to expedite the
transition through rational and
phllisophlcal influence on the
people of Congress." The scholarship awards will be made to
students,
undergraduate
or
graduate, majoring in the fields
of philosophy, journalism, law,
economics, theology and/ or
political science.

cusslon or analysts done on the
IRA contract."
Other senators object to the
fact that there were no public
hearings on the contract. "The
feelings of a lot of the senators
ls that this contract should have
been discussed before the students," Senate chairman Karen
Clark told The Collegian.
It has also beeh fpund that the
last meeting of the '76 AS senate
was constitutionally lllegal be. cause of the improper use of
proxys by two senators.
The AS constitution allows for
the use of pr.oxys only ln the
case of a senator's class conflict.
But since the IRA was ratified at
11 p.m. at the June lS meeting
there could have been no class
confiicts on the part of the two
senators who used proxys •.
The proxys were therefore illegal, and the Senate could not
legally do business for lack of a
quorum.
Some senators. are contending
that this gives this year's AS
senate a legal loophole to get out
of the IRA contract if they wish
to do so.
University Accounting Officer
Thomas McGonaglll, who drafted
the IRA contract, disagrees.
"The fact that the June 13 meeting was constitutionally lllegal
doesn't alter the fact that the administration entered into the contract in good faith. The problem in th·e senate over the con- .
stltutionallty of their precedures
That
doesn't affect
the contract.
That's something for the senators
to sue- each other over."
McGonaglll sees the IRA controversy as significant only because 1t underlines the lack of
long-range planning in the AS
senate.
"When the university plans its
activities that planning process
goes on for years in advance,
he said. ''The university doesn't
work on ayear-to-yearbaslsllke
the Associated Students do. We
have to be able to project where
we're going, what kinds of activlties we'll be involved i_n, what
1s their own problem.
it's going to cost. So we need
some sort of a stabiUty."
"It would be ridiculous to plan
your forensics program based on
not knowtng anything about' what
·kind of funding you're going to
get year to year," he said.
"We're very active in planning
at least two or three years 1n
advance. And even longer term,
there are goals and objectives
the the university has, adtrectlon
it's going. And it's very difficult to do that when you're re- .
acting to and working with an
organization that has not, at least
at this point, seemed to· define
what its goals and objectives are
in any kind of long-term basis."

Students become 'big brothers
What do a hamburger ntpper, a bus driver, and
a CSUF administrator have in common?
The three of them give nv:e hours of their
time a week to a fatherless or motherless child
through the big brother program.
Mike Spradly is a psychology major (who
filps burgers at Lesterburger); Kathleen Shinaver is a child development-special ed major
(who drives .a bus); and Doug Calhoun is a CSUF
admintstra~or.
It ts people llke this who form the nucleus of
the big brother program. The program matches ·
volunteers with young boys or girls (between 813 years old) who ltve 1n single parent families.
Since there are about 10,000 single parent
famtlies in Fresno, the need ts great. Some
220 children and volunteers have already been
matched, and there are 200 children on the
waiting list. Public Relations man Bruce Morris would very much like to "crack"· CSUF and
f1nd some new volunteers.
To be matched with a little brother, a volunteer must go to an orientation, and have an
interview with a social worker , so the social
worker ·can pick a compatible little brother.
Then volunteer, child, and parent have an
interview with the social worker. For the
next month, volunteer and child spend time with
each other, and if they like · each other, the .
social worker declares them a "match.''
From then on, the pair do whatever they want
to do with each other. It•s· a requirement
that the big brother spend at least four or five
hoursJ a :week with the little brother. Otherwise, a relationship between the two isn't given
enough time to develop.
Big brothers are di scouraged from spending
too much money on the little brothers. "First
of all," says Doug Calhoun, "a fatherless
child does not need to be showered with lavish
presents, or -taken out all over town. The
ch1ld needs and wants the gift' of friendship.
Besides, if two kids from the same family are
in the program, and one kid'sbtgbrotherspends
more than the other kid's big brother, the kids
start to compare each others big brother. This
creates a bunch of hassles, and so the big brother is encouraged to do inexpensive things."
Kathleen Shinaver and her little sister might go
out and have tee cream, or go to the Fresno Junior Musium, ice skating, or bake cookies. They
have even planted a garden. "You do all the
tittle things you think you would like to do, but
You get a chance to do them more often, because you have a chi~d that's interested in doing
them too, and that makes it a lot more fun,"
she said.
Mike Spradly helps his little brother John do his
homeowrk, and on the day of the interview they
were on their way to the circus.
~ Doug Calhoun's little brother is 18 years
old (they've been matched for seven years), and
they work on each other's cars togethel'-. Doug's
hobby is orchid growing, so the two have gone
to several fiower shows together.
Several things discourage people from participating in the program. First, people don't
feel they have enough time, and can't spare four
hours a week. Others feel that they would be
matched with a juvenile delinquent who is going
to give them nothing but trouble, and wind up
stealing their car.
Actually, these are the kids who need guidance
and leadership because they've been denied a
certain kind of relationship. They haven't had
problems with the law; they just don't have a
parent, and need someone to look up to.
Also, many people think that a big broth,er is
just a glor1f1ed baby sitter. "Not so," says
Mike Spradly, "a baby sitter isn't always a
friend to the kid, but someone who says "go
to be.d now" or "turn that TV down." .
"A big brother is a good close friend the little
brother can trust with his thoughts and emotions."
A fatherless child really grows from this
experience. Mike says that John "has learned
more about responsibility, behavior, and respect, and that .he has matured.
Kathleen has seen a lot of growth in her little
sister Aurora. "At first Aurora was new in
town. She was very shy, she had no friends, and
she had a reading problem in school. We'd go
to the park, and after a run with my dog I would
read her a children's story and have her read
to me.
Her attitudes got better, her grades
improved, and she started making friends."
To the big brother or sister, the most surprising thing is the amount that they grow.
Kathleen said, "Yau are both growing together. I ·
get to see Aurora grow and that helps me look
at myself, and what type of person I am ."
''I've grown immensely," said Mike Spradly.
"I've learned so much more about myslei and
how to deal with other people. -I feel more sure
about myself, and I feel good about what I've
done."
''It's just a good feeling to be helping someone and not getting paid for it," said Doug.
Kathleen said she would recommend that other
CSUF students become big brothers or big sisters. "Because its such a great experience, you
would feel so good if you would give a little
chlld four hours of your time a week," she
said. ''It's a lot of smlles, a lot of happy Umes,
and a lot of growing."

Letters to the editor
I am an avid Bulldog sports fan
who is absolutely appalled at the
sports coverage- of the Collegian.
Sports are a major part of any
big university, and therefore deserve a proportionate amount of
coverage.
In the past, the Collegian did
a fairly decent job of sports
coverage. This -year, sports coverage has either been,ttttle, or
entirely non-existent.
I noticed that the sports article
in the Sept. 13 issue of the Collegian was written by a staff reporter. Doesn't the Collegian have
a regular sports reporter, whose
only job is the reporting of sports?
The most degrading thing about
the Collegian's sports coverage is
its coverage of the Bulldog football team. As of this date (Sept.
13), I have yet to see an article
about the recent Bulldog loss to

' It seema very strange to me how

newspaper should inform the students of what is going on on the

game should be announced as soon
as the last one is over, especially if it is a home game, so
students will go to the game.

The mid-summer release which

producer to use his know-how

When Leadon was with the

Someone once said Art is anything with pattern, · rhythm and

there is also good art and the

Between these two there is a

other side of the · line lies its
meaning, its symbolism, anything
that it may have to say.
No two people can see the same

In that case no two interpretations
of an object can be exactly the

Industry ·backs new ra1s1n
(Continued from p. 3)
Petrucci initiated the DOV research project
at CSUF (that has since grown to 200 acres) in
1970 after visiting Austrailla in 196!! on sabbatical leave, >1ewing the process first hand and
adapting it to California conditions.
The early years of the program were funded
by a large grant from the United States Departm~nt of Agriculture, and in past years the chemical companies that produce the drying spray
have carried the ball, said Foster, but O'lerall,
"money for the project has been scarce ...
However, after last years diastrous, rain-de- .
vastated harvest, Foster said nnancial suppcrt
has surfaced\. The support originates from private industry and quasi-governmental agencies
wlth a stake in the outcome and future -of the
harvest, like the California Raisin Advisory
Board, which donated $6,2,000 this year, the
bulk of the research budget.
One effect of the DOV process has been a
change in the taste and app9arance of the raisin.
"The DOV raisin ls a natural raisin,., said
Foster, "due to the slower oxidation process.
It ls a thinner, more tender, sweeter and lighter
colored raisin."
A recent USDA consumer survey on the acceptab111ty of the DOV raisin as an alternative to
· the natural dried raisin revealed favorable reaction in both domestic and foreign markets, but
were not ade.9uate enough to formulate any definite conclusion about the potential for DOV
raisins in these markets.
Industry support has been favorable, said
Foster, explaining that the PresldentofSunmald
Raisins, Frank Light, has spoken highly of the'
marketablllty and potential of the DOV raisin,
According to Light, the DOV raisin would tie
advantageous:
--because of its resemblance to foreign produced raisins._ California ls the only place in
the entire world to dry raisins naturally, and
it would open the U.S. to foreign markets ;
--the very nature of the DOV ls processing
virtually guarantees a product;
--superior U.S. technology and qualtty would
enhance the marketing success of the product
in foreign markets.
Surprisingly, said Foster, most resistance to
the DOV process has come from the older established farmers in the Valley who see no reason to change an age old system that has worked
for them for years.
And it ls to those reluctant to change that the
second expert mental process, SOT, is geared,
said Foster.
While the DOV is seen as a total departure
from conventional methods, the SOT is a variation of the natural method that wtll cut drying
Ume from anywhere from one-fourth to one-half,
The SOT prqcess consists of handpicking the
raisins ala the natural method, laying them on
the trays and allowing the sun to do its work-but only for three to six days.
Then, the same food grade material used in
the DOV process ls applied to the grapes on
the tray, and within six to eight days, the
raisins are mechanically picked up and boxed,
The entire process takes between 14 to 21
days and bypasses the costly expense of turning ,
and rolllni the trays, ,
But while this system has worked emcfently
tn a lim\ted and controlled experiment ln the
CBUF vineyard, Foster sees no immediate commercial ad~ptatlon for a plethora of reasons.
It's uncertain, said Foster, at what volume
the spray should be applied for larger acreage,
and because of exorbitant material and application costs t it ls not yet seen as economically
feasible:
Also, whlle the CSUF research trays were
hoisted by an experimental mechanical pickup
machine, thus avoiding turning and rolling the
trays, no such machine is curretnly available
for commercial use.
Tllls means the cost of turning and roll1ng the
trays would remain, in ad~tion to the added
spraying .costs.
Also, the CSUF research team was able to
control the amount of grapes laid on the trays
because of the limited size of the experiment,
but a local grower would not have the same
luxury.
However, a surprise bonus of this process
was the discovery of a new method of terracing
the grape furrows for SOT raisin drying.
In lieu of the conventional terrace sloped to
the north (allowing for peak exposure to the sun)
a terrace is now run evenly across down the
center of the row, with two gouged forrows running parrellel alongside.
This raised terrace allows for more efficient
water runoff in case of rain, and a straight
allghnment of the grape trays. The gouged
furrows also provide workers with a place to
walk and stand without iJ!terfering with the
tray alignment.

The Oalcland Raiders battle
cry is "Silver and Black is
going back."
The battle cry in Minnesota
is "this time.for sure."
And after a disastrous 1-5
pre--season, Los Angeles Ram
fans are just plain crying.
What does this all mean?
It. means the Raiders and Vikes
will play fqr all the marbles
in New Orleans come January.
The defending champion Raiders
will "go back" because they have
a much improved defense (three
shutouts in six exhibition games.)
On offense Ken Stabler, Cliff
Branch, John Vella and Dave
Casper don't show any signs
of letting up. But mostimportant
they have depth including the
capable Mike Rae, should Stabler's knees give out •
Oalcland's main challenge in
the AFC West is from explosive
San Diego and Seattle. The Chargers added fieet Johnny Rodgers
and passer James Harris. Seattle
is no longer expansion caliber.
They'll score from anywhere on
the fteld. Denver and Kansas
City will follow right behind.
If anyone has a shot at Oakland
it's Cincinnati- who'll ftnally
shake Pittsburgh in the AFC
Central. The Steelers are stale
after three years at the top
and will tie with unpredictable
Cleveland for second. Dan Pastorin! is doing more harm than
good in Houston. Last place for
sure.
In the East, the Patriots wlll
win a sgueaker with the Colts.
If Pat QB Steve Grogan is running out of the pocket, their
offense will be running up points.
Baltimore needs ·a more balanced
running attack and Bert Jones
doesn't use TE Ray Chester to his
full potential.
Miami is going to field a decent
offense this season but a .500
~howing is the most one can expect. Buffalo and the NY Jets
will bring up the rear. -

The Rams are up to their
helmets in hot water and being
a Ram fan, I •ve had it with the

camp is Joe Namath. Gone are
Harris and budding superstar
Ron Jaworski. This leaves Pat
Haden and newcomer Vince Ferragamo.
The Ram offense as a wbole
is suffering and will do so until
someone other than Chuck Knox
calls the plays. Maybe Namath
is washed up, but if he's going
to play, let him call the shots.
He's one of the best at reading

Sween~y: 'Dogs mu'st improve'
The Bulldogs will kick off their
50th home opener Saturday night
at Ratcliffe Stadium, hoping that
the costly turnovers last week
wtll not plague them against Boise
State.
·
Kickoff for the first meeting
between the two schools is at
7:30 p.m.
While the Bulldogs are coming
off of a 34-13 loss against Southwestern Louisiana, the Broncos
come to Fresno fresh from a
come-from-behind win over Weber State 19-9. The Broncos
trailed 9-0 at the half.
Bulldog head coach Jim Swe·eney,
who complimented Boise as
having "a tremendous football .

will have their work cut out for
them."
"As usual, our opponent will
be bigger than we are. Size and
strength will be in their favor and
speed will be with us. We must
get tougher," he said.
Sweeney said the Broncos are .
as large as San Diego State on the
offensive line, and bigthroughout

One thing the Bulldogs will
have to correct will be the fumbling that plagued them against the
Ragin' Cajuns last week. The
'Dogs fumbled 12 times, losing
seven to the Cajuns, who lost
two of their five fumbles.

Dream ·of 'Radio BilingUe'
Becomes Promising Reality
,,.
.
By Elvia Ruiz
A long overdue San Joaquin
Vailey Spanish-English billngual
radio station may be near reality,
if a CSUF group has its way.
In February, La Raza studies
professors formed Radio Billn:.
gue, Inc., a non-profit organization for the development of a bilingual radio station in the valley.
The oganization, composed of
six board members, has been
working on the preliminary
groundwork necessary for obtaining a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license
to start a radio station.
Hugo Morales, La Raza studies
instructor, and spokesman for
the Radio Billngue, feels the San
Joaquin Valley is in need of a
bilingual radio station and suggests Fresno as an ideal base
clty in which to proadcast.
"We feel there is more potential for a billngual station
because of the Chicano population,'' states Morales. He adds,
"There ls a larger concentration
of middle-class Chicanos her~
who will be more iikely to support us.''
Morales also states that in
- Fresno, Radio Billngue, has the
support of La Raza Studies and
the Radio Television department
at CSUF.
According to Morales, progress on the station is developing faster, than he expected.
The organization has already
completed a survey of the Fresno
community which is an FCC regulation. Over 500 random survey calls were completed this
summer to individuals in the
community.
"The purpose of these survey
calls was to find out ,what the
problems of the community are,"
says Morales. ''We also did a
target _survey in which we interviewed Chicanos to find out what
type of programming they would
like to have."
Radio Blllngue also interviewed
leaders of the community to see
how programming will deal with
them.
However, Morales says the station must raise $250,000 for necessary equipment to startoperatlons.
Since February, students and
the board have been organizing
fund-raisers and writing proposals to di!!erent organizations in
an attempt to raise the money.
"Money is a problem," says
Morales, "But once the FCC
approves -us, 1t will be easter to
get money for the radio station
because we co~ld get a license. u
,
Ramircr Jacinto, a junior at
CSUF, agrees with Morales about
the money problem.
Jacinto
stresses that Chicano students at
CSUF should organize and start
a student support group to help
raise funds for the station.
''I think the students should come
out and -help try to form some
stu(lent support club. They are
usually very good about this and
always come out and help," says1
J acinto.
•
The bullc of the programming
will be in Spanish and will be
directed towards the Chicano
community,' but the news broadcasts will be in both Spanish and
English.
,
Morales also states the radio
st~tion will have talk-shows in
which the problems of the community wtll be discussed. Community leaders and other mem~rs of the . community will be
encouraged to voice their opinions on issues affecting Fresno,
he says.

When a La Voz reporter asked
the CSUF affirmative action coordinator, Lily Small, about the
alleged illegitimate search under
affirmative action guidelines she
responded, "it's .the first I've

qualifications as specified.
Small then said she was not

Brewer Plans Not To
-Molest EOP Institute
.
,
.
,
by Tomas Uribes
A:S. President Bill Brewer,
who once advocated the abolishment 9f the EOP Summer Institute, now says he sees its advan°
tages.
'•There was a bond between
the students," said Brewer last
week of his visit to the two-week
Institute in August. ''I felt they
were there to help each other
help themselves. That surprised me."
At that visit, · in which he
spoke to the incoming CSUF EOP
students during a session on
student government and organi- ·zations, Brewer encountered apprehensiveness on the part of
the students.
·He was asked how he felt
about the Educational Opportunity
Program and resP,Onded that
everyone feels there particular
group should have priority.
He said he intended to have
a newly-formed cabinet evaluate
the program along with all other ·
student funded programs.
However, Brewer's appearance
before the students this summer
has apparently contributed to a
change in his attitude.
''I had felt some programs
were a ripoff, that students were
flung into a situation they weren't
really ready to handle, u he said
last week. ''I felt I was flung
into something like that when I
entered college and many good
people helped me out."
'' That's what I saw in ·EOP,
people helping each other help
themselves. That's exactly what
I got, somebody to help me set
goals, motivate me, and find
direction.",
However, he skirted arouna
the issue of what level of priority the Summer Institute commanded.
"I'm not so naive as to believe
the Sum mer Institute has no
advantage to incoming students, u
he said. ''I don't know much
about the EOP program and the
Summer Institute but I feel 1t
is a concept ln which EOP students have not had the kinds of
advantages other students have,
of all races."
Whatever priority status Brewer

Now the CSUF chapter of
United Professors of California
(UPC) has entered the picture.
UPC has backed Corralejo's
nomination with
a resolution
that states they will "support the
restoration of self-determlnization to the La Raza faculty and
urge those responsible at all levels for the program to assist
in this process."
Cisneros explained the reason
for the cut in her position was
due to a "special formula" dictating one secretary to 10 professors. La Raza Studies has
never qualified ltke many other
programs and departments but
other departments still have full
time secretaries.
The budget cut to the School of
Social Science -was the sharpest,
said Luna. The History uepartment, the Urban and Regional
Planning Department, the Ethnic
Studies Program and the Dean,
himself, all lost clerical help as
a result of the budget cut.
But since Clsneros has worked
for CSUF for eight years, she has
tenure. Personnel must find her
full time employment within the
university.
Luna feels this cut is an attempt
by Volpp to force smaller programs and departments to join
with much , larger departments.
Other anonymous sources think it
ts another attempt, in a rash of
many, to do away with m1nor1ty
programs all together.

Rai'sin harvest program
nears big breakthrough
valley growers may someday have less reason
to fear the threat of September rains akin to
those that decimated last years' raisin harvest,
if two experimental raisin drying processes
currently being researched by the CSUF Viticulture Department are successful.
The first, the · revolutionary Dried-On-The
Vine (DOV) process, would reduce the susceptib111ty of the drying fruit~ rain damage. The
second, the more conventional Sprayed-On-TheTray (SOT) process, would significantly curtail
the harvest period, and thus minimize crop
exposure to· the unpredictable elements.
The DOV experiment "is the first of its
kind in the United states," said Project Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci.
The DOV process entails the spraying of the
grape bunches with a combination of food grade
materials that d:ry the fruit on the vine, and
then mechanically harvesting the crop after a
one-to-three week drying period, dependent UPon
vineyard and weather conditions.
Chemically _drying raisins -ls nothing new,
RAISIN RESEARCH PROJECT Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci
(right) and Field Analyst Dave Foster {left) are
spea:hea~ing the experimental raisin drying pro-
said Petrucci, as the process is quite P,revalent in Australia and other countries. But it
is new to Valley growers, conditioned to the
usual handpicked-and-dried-by-sunlight method.
In comparison with the natural method, the
time factors are similar (roughly one month
for the entire process). However, the DOV
costs more, and there is as yet an unexplained
10-20 per cent crop yield loss, and a myriad
of costly and necessary vineyard alterations
that must be adopted to facilitate the harvesting process, including special trellising and
pruning of the vine.
But the DOV method's plusses far outweigh
• its minuses, said th_e project's field analyst and
Petrucci's top assistant, Dave Foster.
"By keeping the crop off the ground (the single
major advantage of the DOV process) you minimize the rain problem," explained Foster. He
adtled that as labor becomes scarce and its
cost escalates, the DOV procedure_ will offer
a viable alternative when perfected.
Foster believes that 1f the DOV method is

eventually adopted, the handpicked labor currently employed to harvest the crop "w111 gradually
be dJsplaced." In tts stead w111 arise a "need
'for · skllled pruners to prune the vineyard
properly" on the trellises, to accommodate the
spraying procedure and to fac111tate the mechanized harvesting of the crop.
Also, as sanitary standards for raisin production grow more stringent, the DOV process
would eliminate m:>st contamination from bird,
insect, or animal feces.
Foster, who ts responsible for all fleld
research, said that while the project ls progressing at a satisfactory pace, "we're still
in the experimental stages, gathering data." He
foresees large scale adoption of the procedure
as "a bit further down the road."
Eventually, Foster said 'they hope to hone
the procedure to such a flexible degree that
any farmer can adapt his operation to DOV
using conyentlonal systems and equipment.
Until then, Foster urges few farmers to
apply the method, c1Ung numerous examples of
grower failures due to lack of preparation that
set back the program a fe·w years ago.
"This ts a relatively sophisticated operation,"
said Foster, and most of today's raisin growers
are not yet able to co:Re with its intricacies
and conditions wltqout supervision, or the exorbitant conversion costs.
To convert from a conventional system to
the OOV process would require a farmer to
retrellls his vineyard, thin the follage, _and obtain
. the use of a mechanical harvester, all costly
expenditures.

'Bakke Decision' Incites Protest==T=======herewi=llbe=aMEC=HAm=eeting=today=atl2:0=0.
==t
By Diane Solis
Stormy clouds of controversy
have banked over the Supreme
Court of the United States for the
last year. Within the next month.
the Supreme Court wlll review
one of the most important civll
rights decisions since the desegregatlr n rulings of the 1950's.
In center ls Allan Bakke, a 38
year-old white engineer .'who
wants to become a doctor • .He
was twice denied admission to the
University of Caltforijia Medical
School at Davis, which set a goal
of 16 to 100 places for minorities.
Bakke then. sued claiming that the
university's minority admissions program unfairly discriminated against him by admitting
"less-qualified" minority students.
If Bakke wins his case, it wi,11
ignite a dangerous precedent that
may well collapse affirmative
action programs throughout the
nation.
Because of the lctng history of
flagrant discrimination against
mlnorlties, a tidal wave of litigation seiiking equal rights ensued with the passage of the Clvtl
Rights Act of 1964. A victory for
Bakke wtll recede the advances
of that Ude and recede all the
gains made not only by minorities
but women, veterans and the
handicapped.
Also, there ls a strong conviction among lawyers, particularly the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund
(MALDEF), that the case was .so
poorly prepared In state courts
that it ls not a good test case on
the basic constitutional issue at
stake.
Many· theorized that the university helped engineer Bakke's
challenge to its special admlssions program. The university
was also said to have made major
concessions to Bakke's side during the case, just to insure that
the issues would be presented l_n
s11ch a way that the quota system
would have little chance of surviving the challenge.
MALDEF and other organizations are urging the justices to
simply overturn the original California Supreme Court ruling,
whi,ch nullified the regents' quota .
·system, and then send the case
back to that tribunal for further
development.
Toward tlfis goal anAnti-Bakke
Decision Committee (ABDC) has
been formed, aiming their struggle not just at the courts, but
with conferences, rallies and demonstrations against the Bakke
decision.
The ABDC ls calllng on all people to join with them Oct. 15 at
the federal building in San Francisco for a National Day of Solidarity against the Bakke decision.
Locally, the ABDC holds regional meetings every Wednesday
at 7 p.m. at Mecha Central, 2172

A ShOrt Story
By Pedro Ramirez
I awoke. staring into a dark
stlent room. Looking around,
everything that! looked a,,t seemed
strange. I could see dark Images
against the wall. I tried to focus
on something that was familiar,
the stained green . cetllng with
cracks that ran on lt. My eyes
followed the path of a fly that
Zipped by, the picture of my mother on the wall. Then I could
smell the fresh scent of tortillas being· made and it assured
me of being home. As the sun
peeped Into the cracks of the
stale whlte curtains I could hear
the clattering of dishes, the sizzling of food cooking, the soft
pound of torijlas being made.
I rolled on my· side and curling
my tongue with hunger, jumped
out of bed. I walked out of my
cold shabby room and went directly to the kitchen. The coldness of the floor made me stum- ·
ble down the hallway.
As I·
entered, my mom, who was cooking, told me that everyone had
gone to work. They left me again.
I was small at the time; so my
father had promised to take me,
but he never did. Everyone had
gone.
I sat down and looking up I
noticed ' my mother's smooth
brown skin and her soft brown
eyes, that slightly glowed in the
dimly lltkltchen. Her thick, black
curly hair made her face round
,and her s.m ne made her chubby
cheeks stand out. As_she served
me her chubby body felt warm
next to mine. I ate.
Finishing, she asked me what I
had planned for the day. I told
her that I wanted to visit my
grandmother.
We li~ed in a small woodenframed house behind ~y grandmother's house. It was a cozy
home, during the day it seemed
warm and at night it was cold.
The kitchen always seemed to be
warm, no matter what season
of the year it was. I finished
eating dnd my mom had her back
turned to me. She was washing
dishes and as I got up out of my
chair, she turned, I stood looking
at her, she dazed at me and
waited for me to tell her what
plans I had, I stepped closer
and asked her.
"Can I please go outside
mama?"
"Yes, but watch yourself and
don't let anyone bother you."
"See you later."
"Okay hijo."
Walking out, the fresh smell
of watered soll seeped through
my nose, and the crisp fresh
air made my body shiver. Directly in front of me stood the
big, green framed house that belonged to my grandparents. The
paint on it was chipped and the
rusted screens stayed in place.
I loo~ed around the big yard that
both of us shared, it was covered
with frost, the sun would soon
melt it. The two big round trash
cans that stood in the center of
the yard were fllled to the brim
and I wondered how the trash men
could carry those big heavy cans
across the yard. The big cherry
tree that branched out into the sky
was still. Oyr tree house laid
in that tree, but was covered by
the branches that hung over it.
As I walked to my grandmother's house, the plants that lined
her house seemed tobealivewith
the morning sun. Looking to a
side,
I 1rould see the fresh
tire tracks of my father's car.
Entering the house, the sweet
stale scent of my grandparents
house assured me that one of
them was home. I walked through
the dark cold hallway. As I
entered to the main part of the
house through the door, I could
hear my grandmother in the dimly
lit kitchen. I stepped in. She
was sitting on a chair next to a
chair next to a small round table,
seeing me, she called me over.
Her skin that had been like my
mothers, was old and shrivled,
her glassy black eyes stared into
mint.
11 Wliere's
Abuelo (grandfather)," I asked her.
In a very soft voice she answered.
"Working in the compress, h~e
went in at six." •
"Why so early?"
"No se; they just called him to
work."
Sipping her coffee, her black
grayish hair curly and bushy, like
my m(!m•s~ blended into the darkness of the dimly lit room. She
stood up and the dress she had
_on had the sweet scent the house
always had. Feet dragging, she
went to wash dishes. As I sat,
she stood washing the dishes,
then in that low, aged voice she

''I remember when I was a

and friends fighting in the war,

earlier than usual. I felt someone shaking me. I thought I was
dreaming, 1t was my mother. She
told me toruae somewhere qutckly; I jumped out ot bed and jumped behind the dresser. I knew we
didn't have a ·chance because all
our men were gone. They had
gone off to other parts of the
country. I began to feel cold, because I knew my famtly could
all be killed. I could hear gun
shots in the distance, people
screaming and yelling as they
entered houses. My body fell into
a chlll. I grew tense. our front
door iHR6 llur crashing made
me numb. I could not move. I
felt like jumping out and helping
my mother, but I knew she
wouldn't like that. I peeped into
the living room to see who it was.
A stalky, short mexicano stood by
my mother. They both stood talking, but I couldn't hear them. I
tried to focus on what they were
saying. I heard him say,
"Where ls everyo!le?"
"Please, .please leave my
house," my mother begged,
·"Shut up you stupid bitch. Who
are you?" He said in a very wicked voice. I thought he was going
to strike her and I almost let out
a scream, but I held onto it and I
cried for fear.
Something ran
, through my body that I never felt
before. I was scared. I wanted
to go out and save my tnom, but
I couldn't. My mom wouldn't like
· that. I crunched up into a tight
ball and wept to myself and prayed
like 'I've never done in my life.

Senate explores option to break IRA contract

The Associated Student Senate
ts exploring the possiblllty of
breaking a controversial contract
with the administration that the
previous senate ratified ln the
eleventh hour of their final meeting last year.
The Instructionally Related Actlvtues contract, which provides
set funding levels for IRA programs for three years, has come
under fire from some senators
who claim that the IRA contract
was ratified under questionable
and illegal circumstances.
"It was lumped together with
flve other btlls and passed without any discussion or analysts,"
. said Senator Russ Greer. ''lt
was late and the senators wanted
to go home but they stm had
five bllls to vote on, so they just

Ecology essay p _rize
A New York -based conser-·
vatlon organization has announced an annual ·$8,000 scholarship program for university
students who submit winning
essays ln support of a Congressional bill aimed at ending hu_man
exploitation of animals.
The contest will center on
the Wllliams- Longs btll in the
Congress which would ban the
interstate shipment of furs from
any state or nation which has
the ct·evtce used to catch and hold
fur-bearing animals such as
racoon, bobcat and coyote, as
well as other animals wanted
by the tur industry.
The scholarship program was
made possible by a grant from
Regina Bauer Frankenburg, a
director of Friends of Animals,
Inc., and pr_esident of its Washington lobby, the Committee for
Humane Legislation, Inc,
'•we want to encourage the young
people who wm be in charge
of a new world which includes
the earth and animals in its
ethical scheme to expedite the
transition through rational and
phllisophlcal influence on the
people of Congress." The scholarship awards will be made to
students,
undergraduate
or
graduate, majoring in the fields
of philosophy, journalism, law,
economics, theology and/ or
political science.

cusslon or analysts done on the
IRA contract."
Other senators object to the
fact that there were no public
hearings on the contract. "The
feelings of a lot of the senators
ls that this contract should have
been discussed before the students," Senate chairman Karen
Clark told The Collegian.
It has also beeh fpund that the
last meeting of the '76 AS senate
was constitutionally lllegal be. cause of the improper use of
proxys by two senators.
The AS constitution allows for
the use of pr.oxys only ln the
case of a senator's class conflict.
But since the IRA was ratified at
11 p.m. at the June lS meeting
there could have been no class
confiicts on the part of the two
senators who used proxys •.
The proxys were therefore illegal, and the Senate could not
legally do business for lack of a
quorum.
Some senators. are contending
that this gives this year's AS
senate a legal loophole to get out
of the IRA contract if they wish
to do so.
University Accounting Officer
Thomas McGonaglll, who drafted
the IRA contract, disagrees.
"The fact that the June 13 meeting was constitutionally lllegal
doesn't alter the fact that the administration entered into the contract in good faith. The problem in th·e senate over the con- .
stltutionallty of their precedures
That
doesn't affect
the contract.
That's something for the senators
to sue- each other over."
McGonaglll sees the IRA controversy as significant only because 1t underlines the lack of
long-range planning in the AS
senate.
"When the university plans its
activities that planning process
goes on for years in advance,
he said. ''The university doesn't
work on ayear-to-yearbaslsllke
the Associated Students do. We
have to be able to project where
we're going, what kinds of activlties we'll be involved i_n, what
1s their own problem.
it's going to cost. So we need
some sort of a stabiUty."
"It would be ridiculous to plan
your forensics program based on
not knowtng anything about' what
·kind of funding you're going to
get year to year," he said.
"We're very active in planning
at least two or three years 1n
advance. And even longer term,
there are goals and objectives
the the university has, adtrectlon
it's going. And it's very difficult to do that when you're re- .
acting to and working with an
organization that has not, at least
at this point, seemed to· define
what its goals and objectives are
in any kind of long-term basis."

Students become 'big brothers
What do a hamburger ntpper, a bus driver, and
a CSUF administrator have in common?
The three of them give nv:e hours of their
time a week to a fatherless or motherless child
through the big brother program.
Mike Spradly is a psychology major (who
filps burgers at Lesterburger); Kathleen Shinaver is a child development-special ed major
(who drives .a bus); and Doug Calhoun is a CSUF
admintstra~or.
It ts people llke this who form the nucleus of
the big brother program. The program matches ·
volunteers with young boys or girls (between 813 years old) who ltve 1n single parent families.
Since there are about 10,000 single parent
famtlies in Fresno, the need ts great. Some
220 children and volunteers have already been
matched, and there are 200 children on the
waiting list. Public Relations man Bruce Morris would very much like to "crack"· CSUF and
f1nd some new volunteers.
To be matched with a little brother, a volunteer must go to an orientation, and have an
interview with a social worker , so the social
worker ·can pick a compatible little brother.
Then volunteer, child, and parent have an
interview with the social worker. For the
next month, volunteer and child spend time with
each other, and if they like · each other, the .
social worker declares them a "match.''
From then on, the pair do whatever they want
to do with each other. It•s· a requirement
that the big brother spend at least four or five
hoursJ a :week with the little brother. Otherwise, a relationship between the two isn't given
enough time to develop.
Big brothers are di scouraged from spending
too much money on the little brothers. "First
of all," says Doug Calhoun, "a fatherless
child does not need to be showered with lavish
presents, or -taken out all over town. The
ch1ld needs and wants the gift' of friendship.
Besides, if two kids from the same family are
in the program, and one kid'sbtgbrotherspends
more than the other kid's big brother, the kids
start to compare each others big brother. This
creates a bunch of hassles, and so the big brother is encouraged to do inexpensive things."
Kathleen Shinaver and her little sister might go
out and have tee cream, or go to the Fresno Junior Musium, ice skating, or bake cookies. They
have even planted a garden. "You do all the
tittle things you think you would like to do, but
You get a chance to do them more often, because you have a chi~d that's interested in doing
them too, and that makes it a lot more fun,"
she said.
Mike Spradly helps his little brother John do his
homeowrk, and on the day of the interview they
were on their way to the circus.
~ Doug Calhoun's little brother is 18 years
old (they've been matched for seven years), and
they work on each other's cars togethel'-. Doug's
hobby is orchid growing, so the two have gone
to several fiower shows together.
Several things discourage people from participating in the program. First, people don't
feel they have enough time, and can't spare four
hours a week. Others feel that they would be
matched with a juvenile delinquent who is going
to give them nothing but trouble, and wind up
stealing their car.
Actually, these are the kids who need guidance
and leadership because they've been denied a
certain kind of relationship. They haven't had
problems with the law; they just don't have a
parent, and need someone to look up to.
Also, many people think that a big broth,er is
just a glor1f1ed baby sitter. "Not so," says
Mike Spradly, "a baby sitter isn't always a
friend to the kid, but someone who says "go
to be.d now" or "turn that TV down." .
"A big brother is a good close friend the little
brother can trust with his thoughts and emotions."
A fatherless child really grows from this
experience. Mike says that John "has learned
more about responsibility, behavior, and respect, and that .he has matured.
Kathleen has seen a lot of growth in her little
sister Aurora. "At first Aurora was new in
town. She was very shy, she had no friends, and
she had a reading problem in school. We'd go
to the park, and after a run with my dog I would
read her a children's story and have her read
to me.
Her attitudes got better, her grades
improved, and she started making friends."
To the big brother or sister, the most surprising thing is the amount that they grow.
Kathleen said, "Yau are both growing together. I ·
get to see Aurora grow and that helps me look
at myself, and what type of person I am ."
''I've grown immensely," said Mike Spradly.
"I've learned so much more about myslei and
how to deal with other people. -I feel more sure
about myself, and I feel good about what I've
done."
''It's just a good feeling to be helping someone and not getting paid for it," said Doug.
Kathleen said she would recommend that other
CSUF students become big brothers or big sisters. "Because its such a great experience, you
would feel so good if you would give a little
chlld four hours of your time a week," she
said. ''It's a lot of smlles, a lot of happy Umes,
and a lot of growing."

Letters to the editor
I am an avid Bulldog sports fan
who is absolutely appalled at the
sports coverage- of the Collegian.
Sports are a major part of any
big university, and therefore deserve a proportionate amount of
coverage.
In the past, the Collegian did
a fairly decent job of sports
coverage. This -year, sports coverage has either been,ttttle, or
entirely non-existent.
I noticed that the sports article
in the Sept. 13 issue of the Collegian was written by a staff reporter. Doesn't the Collegian have
a regular sports reporter, whose
only job is the reporting of sports?
The most degrading thing about
the Collegian's sports coverage is
its coverage of the Bulldog football team. As of this date (Sept.
13), I have yet to see an article
about the recent Bulldog loss to

such poor coverage of a major

The mid-summer release which

producer to use his know-how

Industry ·backs new ra1s1n
(Continued from p. 3)
Petrucci initiated the DOV research project
at CSUF (that has since grown to 200 acres) in
1970 after visiting Austrailla in 196!! on sabbatical leave, >1ewing the process first hand and
adapting it to California conditions.
The early years of the program were funded
by a large grant from the United States Departm~nt of Agriculture, and in past years the chemical companies that produce the drying spray
have carried the ball, said Foster, but O'lerall,
"money for the project has been scarce ...
However, after last years diastrous, rain-de- .
vastated harvest, Foster said nnancial suppcrt
has surfaced\. The support originates from private industry and quasi-governmental agencies
wlth a stake in the outcome and future -of the
harvest, like the California Raisin Advisory
Board, which donated $6,2,000 this year, the
bulk of the research budget.
One effect of the DOV process has been a
change in the taste and app9arance of the raisin.
"The DOV raisin ls a natural raisin,., said
Foster, "due to the slower oxidation process.
It ls a thinner, more tender, sweeter and lighter
colored raisin."
A recent USDA consumer survey on the acceptab111ty of the DOV raisin as an alternative to
· the natural dried raisin revealed favorable reaction in both domestic and foreign markets, but
were not ade.9uate enough to formulate any definite conclusion about the potential for DOV
raisins in these markets.
Industry support has been favorable, said
Foster, explaining that the PresldentofSunmald
Raisins, Frank Light, has spoken highly of the'
marketablllty and potential of the DOV raisin,
According to Light, the DOV raisin would tie
advantageous:
--because of its resemblance to foreign produced raisins._ California ls the only place in
the entire world to dry raisins naturally, and
it would open the U.S. to foreign markets ;
--the very nature of the DOV ls processing
virtually guarantees a product;
--superior U.S. technology and qualtty would
enhance the marketing success of the product
in foreign markets.
Surprisingly, said Foster, most resistance to
the DOV process has come from the older established farmers in the Valley who see no reason to change an age old system that has worked
for them for years.
And it ls to those reluctant to change that the
second expert mental process, SOT, is geared,
said Foster.
While the DOV is seen as a total departure
from conventional methods, the SOT is a variation of the natural method that wtll cut drying
Ume from anywhere from one-fourth to one-half,
The SOT prqcess consists of handpicking the
raisins ala the natural method, laying them on
the trays and allowing the sun to do its work-but only for three to six days.
Then, the same food grade material used in
the DOV process ls applied to the grapes on
the tray, and within six to eight days, the
raisins are mechanically picked up and boxed,
The entire process takes between 14 to 21
days and bypasses the costly expense of turning ,
and rolllni the trays, ,
But while this system has worked emcfently
tn a lim\ted and controlled experiment ln the
CBUF vineyard, Foster sees no immediate commercial ad~ptatlon for a plethora of reasons.
It's uncertain, said Foster, at what volume
the spray should be applied for larger acreage,
and because of exorbitant material and application costs t it ls not yet seen as economically
feasible:
Also, whlle the CSUF research trays were
hoisted by an experimental mechanical pickup
machine, thus avoiding turning and rolling the
trays, no such machine is curretnly available
for commercial use.
Tllls means the cost of turning and roll1ng the
trays would remain, in ad~tion to the added
spraying .costs.
Also, the CSUF research team was able to
control the amount of grapes laid on the trays
because of the limited size of the experiment,
but a local grower would not have the same
luxury.
However, a surprise bonus of this process
was the discovery of a new method of terracing
the grape furrows for SOT raisin drying.
In lieu of the conventional terrace sloped to
the north (allowing for peak exposure to the sun)
a terrace is now run evenly across down the
center of the row, with two gouged forrows running parrellel alongside.
This raised terrace allows for more efficient
water runoff in case of rain, and a straight
allghnment of the grape trays. The gouged
furrows also provide workers with a place to
walk and stand without iJ!terfering with the
tray alignment.

The Oalcland Raiders battle
cry is "Silver and Black is
going back."
The battle cry in Minnesota
is "this time.for sure."
And after a disastrous 1-5
pre--season, Los Angeles Ram
fans are just plain crying.
What does this all mean?
It. means the Raiders and Vikes
will play fqr all the marbles
in New Orleans come January.
The defending champion Raiders
will "go back" because they have
a much improved defense (three
shutouts in six exhibition games.)
On offense Ken Stabler, Cliff
Branch, John Vella and Dave
Casper don't show any signs
of letting up. But mostimportant
they have depth including the
capable Mike Rae, should Stabler's knees give out •
Oalcland's main challenge in
the AFC West is from explosive
San Diego and Seattle. The Chargers added fieet Johnny Rodgers
and passer James Harris. Seattle
is no longer expansion caliber.
They'll score from anywhere on
the fteld. Denver and Kansas
City will follow right behind.
If anyone has a shot at Oakland
it's Cincinnati- who'll ftnally
shake Pittsburgh in the AFC
Central. The Steelers are stale
after three years at the top
and will tie with unpredictable
Cleveland for second. Dan Pastorin! is doing more harm than
good in Houston. Last place for
sure.
In the East, the Patriots wlll
win a sgueaker with the Colts.
If Pat QB Steve Grogan is running out of the pocket, their
offense will be running up points.
Baltimore needs ·a more balanced
running attack and Bert Jones
doesn't use TE Ray Chester to his
full potential.
Miami is going to field a decent
offense this season but a .500
~howing is the most one can expect. Buffalo and the NY Jets
will bring up the rear. -
NFC
The Rams are up to their
helmets in hot water and being
a Ram fan, I •ve had it with the
QB carousel. The new face in
camp is Joe Namath. Gone are
Harris and budding superstar
Ron Jaworski. This leaves Pat
Haden and newcomer Vince Ferragamo.
The Ram offense as a wbole
is suffering and will do so until
someone other than Chuck Knox
calls the plays. Maybe Namath
is washed up, but if he's going
to play, let him call the shots.
He's one of the best at reading
a defense that I've ever seen.
Now let's clear the air. 11m
tired of hearing how this is the
year of the Bears. This ls the
year of the Bears second place
ftnish. Minnesota on a cake walk
and that's that.
Bud Grant has gone to the
3-4 defense to capitalize on ·the
best linebacldng crew in football.
Along with good special teams
and balanced offense, the end
result will be an unprece,,ten~d
fifth Super Bowl appearance.
A much improved Detroit is
third and Green Bay and Tampa
Bay fight for the cellar.
In the East, Dallas has one
of the strongest teams Tom
Landry has had.
At 35, QB
Roger Staubach is in marvelous
shape. The front four led by
Harvey Martin, may be the best
in the NFC. The Cowboys are
the only team strong enough t~
threaten Minnesota for the con_ference title.

Sween~y: 'Dogs mu'st improve'
The Bulldogs will kick off their
50th home opener Saturday night
at Ratcliffe Stadium, hoping that
the costly turnovers last week
wtll not plague them against Boise
State.
·
Kickoff for the first meeting
between the two schools is at
7:30 p.m.
While the Bulldogs are coming
off of a 34-13 loss against Southwestern Louisiana, the Broncos
come to Fresno fresh from a
come-from-behind win over Weber State 19-9. The Broncos
trailed 9-0 at the half.
Bulldog head coach Jim Swe·eney,
who complimented Boise as
having "a tremendous football .
situation," noted that the 'Dogs
will have their work cut out for
them."
"As usual, our opponent will
be bigger than we are. Size and
strength will be in their favor and
speed will be with us. We must
get tougher," he said.
Sweeney said the Broncos are .
as large as San Diego State on the
offensive line, and bigthroughout
their defensive unit.
One thing the Bulldogs will
have to correct will be the fumbling that plagued them against the
Ragin' Cajuns last week. The
'Dogs fumbled 12 times, losing
seven to the Cajuns, who lost
two of their five fumbles.

Statistics from the season opener bore this out. The Bulldogs
held the Cajuns to just 47 yards
on the ground, but gave up 207
yards aerial.
Sweeney also pointed out the

Dream ·of 'Radio BilingUe'
Becomes Promising Reality
,,.
.
By Elvia Ruiz
A long overdue San Joaquin
Vailey Spanish-English billngual
radio station may be near reality,
if a CSUF group has its way.
In February, La Raza studies
professors formed Radio Billn:.
gue, Inc., a non-profit organization for the development of a bilingual radio station in the valley.
The oganization, composed of
six board members, has been
working on the preliminary
groundwork necessary for obtaining a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license
to start a radio station.
Hugo Morales, La Raza studies
instructor, and spokesman for
the Radio Billngue, feels the San
Joaquin Valley is in need of a
bilingual radio station and suggests Fresno as an ideal base
clty in which to proadcast.
"We feel there is more potential for a billngual station
because of the Chicano population,'' states Morales. He adds,
"There ls a larger concentration
of middle-class Chicanos her~
who will be more iikely to support us.''
Morales also states that in
- Fresno, Radio Billngue, has the
support of La Raza Studies and
the Radio Television department
at CSUF.
According to Morales, progress on the station is developing faster, than he expected.
The organization has already
completed a survey of the Fresno
community which is an FCC regulation. Over 500 random survey calls were completed this
summer to individuals in the
community.
"The purpose of these survey
calls was to find out ,what the
problems of the community are,"
says Morales. ''We also did a
target _survey in which we interviewed Chicanos to find out what
type of programming they would
like to have."
Radio Blllngue also interviewed
leaders of the community to see
how programming will deal with
them.
However, Morales says the station must raise $250,000 for necessary equipment to startoperatlons.
Since February, students and
the board have been organizing
fund-raisers and writing proposals to di!!erent organizations in
an attempt to raise the money.
"Money is a problem," says
Morales, "But once the FCC
approves -us, 1t will be easter to
get money for the radio station
because we co~ld get a license. u
,
Ramircr Jacinto, a junior at
CSUF, agrees with Morales about
the money problem.
Jacinto
stresses that Chicano students at
CSUF should organize and start
a student support group to help
raise funds for the station.
''I think the students should come
out and -help try to form some
stu(lent support club. They are
usually very good about this and
always come out and help," says1
J acinto.
•
The bullc of the programming
will be in Spanish and will be
directed towards the Chicano
community,' but the news broadcasts will be in both Spanish and
English.
,
Morales also states the radio
st~tion will have talk-shows in
which the problems of the community wtll be discussed. Community leaders and other mem~rs of the . community will be
encouraged to voice their opinions on issues affecting Fresno,
he says.

When a La Voz reporter asked
the CSUF affirmative action coordinator, Lily Small, about the
alleged illegitimate search under
affirmative action guidelines she
responded, "it's .the first I've
heard." She added that she believed Corralejo didn't meet the
qualifications as specified.
Small then said she was not

Brewer Plans Not To
-Molest EOP Institute
.
,
.
,
by Tomas Uribes
A:S. President Bill Brewer,
who once advocated the abolishment 9f the EOP Summer Institute, now says he sees its advan°
tages.
'•There was a bond between
the students," said Brewer last
week of his visit to the two-week
Institute in August. ''I felt they
were there to help each other
help themselves. That surprised me."
At that visit, · in which he
spoke to the incoming CSUF EOP
students during a session on
student government and organi- ·zations, Brewer encountered apprehensiveness on the part of
the students.
·He was asked how he felt
about the Educational Opportunity
Program and resP,Onded that
everyone feels there particular
group should have priority.
He said he intended to have
a newly-formed cabinet evaluate
the program along with all other ·
student funded programs.
However, Brewer's appearance
before the students this summer
has apparently contributed to a
change in his attitude.
''I had felt some programs
were a ripoff, that students were
flung into a situation they weren't
really ready to handle, u he said
last week. ''I felt I was flung
into something like that when I
entered college and many good
people helped me out."
'' That's what I saw in ·EOP,
people helping each other help
themselves. That's exactly what
I got, somebody to help me set
goals, motivate me, and find
direction.",
However, he skirted arouna
the issue of what level of priority the Summer Institute commanded.
"I'm not so naive as to believe
the Sum mer Institute has no
advantage to incoming students, u
he said. ''I don't know much
about the EOP program and the
Summer Institute but I feel 1t
is a concept ln which EOP students have not had the kinds of
advantages other students have,
of all races."
Whatever priority status Brewer

and this summer it was down to

The budget hearings in May
got hot when "secret budgets"
were proposed. Al one point,
students were preparing to resort
to a demonstra_tlon.
The Institute is a separate
component from the overall EOP
Program, which ts · funded primarily by federal and state taxpayer money. The Institute is one
of many activities funded through
the $15 fee students pay each

It ts designed to help the in.. ,

Now the CSUF chapter of
United Professors of California
(UPC) has entered the picture.
UPC has backed Corralejo's
nomination with
a resolution
that states they will "support the
restoration of self-determlnization to the La Raza faculty and
urge those responsible at all levels for the program to assist
in this process."
Cisneros explained the reason
for the cut in her position was
due to a "special formula" dictating one secretary to 10 professors. La Raza Studies has
never qualified ltke many other
programs and departments but
other departments still have full
time secretaries.
The budget cut to the School of
Social Science -was the sharpest,
said Luna. The History uepartment, the Urban and Regional
Planning Department, the Ethnic
Studies Program and the Dean,
himself, all lost clerical help as
a result of the budget cut.
But since Clsneros has worked
for CSUF for eight years, she has
tenure. Personnel must find her
full time employment within the
university.
Luna feels this cut is an attempt
by Volpp to force smaller programs and departments to join
with much , larger departments.
Other anonymous sources think it
ts another attempt, in a rash of
many, to do away with m1nor1ty
programs all together.

Rai'sin harvest program
nears big breakthrough
valley growers may someday have less reason
to fear the threat of September rains akin to
those that decimated last years' raisin harvest,
if two experimental raisin drying processes
currently being researched by the CSUF Viticulture Department are successful.
The first, the · revolutionary Dried-On-The
Vine (DOV) process, would reduce the susceptib111ty of the drying fruit~ rain damage. The
second, the more conventional Sprayed-On-TheTray (SOT) process, would significantly curtail
the harvest period, and thus minimize crop
exposure to· the unpredictable elements.
The DOV experiment "is the first of its
kind in the United states," said Project Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci.
The DOV process entails the spraying of the
grape bunches with a combination of food grade
materials that d:ry the fruit on the vine, and
then mechanically harvesting the crop after a
one-to-three week drying period, dependent UPon
vineyard and weather conditions.
Chemically _drying raisins -ls nothing new,
RAISIN RESEARCH PROJECT Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci
(right) and Field Analyst Dave Foster {left) are
spea:hea~ing the experimental raisin drying pro-
said Petrucci, as the process is quite P,revalent in Australia and other countries. But it
is new to Valley growers, conditioned to the
usual handpicked-and-dried-by-sunlight method.
In comparison with the natural method, the
time factors are similar (roughly one month
for the entire process). However, the DOV
costs more, and there is as yet an unexplained
10-20 per cent crop yield loss, and a myriad
of costly and necessary vineyard alterations
that must be adopted to facilitate the harvesting process, including special trellising and
pruning of the vine.
But the DOV method's plusses far outweigh
• its minuses, said th_e project's field analyst and
Petrucci's top assistant, Dave Foster.
"By keeping the crop off the ground (the single
major advantage of the DOV process) you minimize the rain problem," explained Foster. He
adtled that as labor becomes scarce and its
cost escalates, the DOV procedure_ will offer
a viable alternative when perfected.
Foster believes that 1f the DOV method is

eventually adopted, the handpicked labor currently employed to harvest the crop "w111 gradually
be dJsplaced." In tts stead w111 arise a "need
'for · skllled pruners to prune the vineyard
properly" on the trellises, to accommodate the
spraying procedure and to fac111tate the mechanized harvesting of the crop.
Also, as sanitary standards for raisin production grow more stringent, the DOV process
would eliminate m:>st contamination from bird,
insect, or animal feces.
Foster, who ts responsible for all fleld
research, said that while the project ls progressing at a satisfactory pace, "we're still
in the experimental stages, gathering data." He
foresees large scale adoption of the procedure
as "a bit further down the road."
Eventually, Foster said 'they hope to hone
the procedure to such a flexible degree that
any farmer can adapt his operation to DOV
using conyentlonal systems and equipment.
Until then, Foster urges few farmers to
apply the method, c1Ung numerous examples of
grower failures due to lack of preparation that
set back the program a fe·w years ago.
"This ts a relatively sophisticated operation,"
said Foster, and most of today's raisin growers
are not yet able to co:Re with its intricacies
and conditions wltqout supervision, or the exorbitant conversion costs.
To convert from a conventional system to
the OOV process would require a farmer to
retrellls his vineyard, thin the follage, _and obtain
. the use of a mechanical harvester, all costly
expenditures.

A ShOrt Story
By Pedro Ramirez
I awoke. staring into a dark
stlent room. Looking around,
everything that! looked a,,t seemed
strange. I could see dark Images
against the wall. I tried to focus
on something that was familiar,
the stained green . cetllng with
cracks that ran on lt. My eyes
followed the path of a fly that
Zipped by, the picture of my mother on the wall. Then I could
smell the fresh scent of tortillas being· made and it assured
me of being home. As the sun
peeped Into the cracks of the
stale whlte curtains I could hear
the clattering of dishes, the sizzling of food cooking, the soft
pound of torijlas being made.
I rolled on my· side and curling
my tongue with hunger, jumped
out of bed. I walked out of my
cold shabby room and went directly to the kitchen. The coldness of the floor made me stum- ·
ble down the hallway.
As I·
entered, my mom, who was cooking, told me that everyone had
gone to work. They left me again.
I was small at the time; so my
father had promised to take me,
but he never did. Everyone had
gone.
I sat down and looking up I
noticed ' my mother's smooth
brown skin and her soft brown
eyes, that slightly glowed in the
dimly lltkltchen. Her thick, black
curly hair made her face round
,and her s.m ne made her chubby
cheeks stand out. As_she served
me her chubby body felt warm
next to mine. I ate.
Finishing, she asked me what I
had planned for the day. I told
her that I wanted to visit my
grandmother.
We li~ed in a small woodenframed house behind ~y grandmother's house. It was a cozy
home, during the day it seemed
warm and at night it was cold.
The kitchen always seemed to be
warm, no matter what season
of the year it was. I finished
eating dnd my mom had her back
turned to me. She was washing
dishes and as I got up out of my
chair, she turned, I stood looking
at her, she dazed at me and
waited for me to tell her what
plans I had, I stepped closer
and asked her.
"Can I please go outside
mama?"
"Yes, but watch yourself and
don't let anyone bother you."
"See you later."
"Okay hijo."
Walking out, the fresh smell
of watered soll seeped through
my nose, and the crisp fresh
air made my body shiver. Directly in front of me stood the
big, green framed house that belonged to my grandparents. The
paint on it was chipped and the
rusted screens stayed in place.
I loo~ed around the big yard that
both of us shared, it was covered
with frost, the sun would soon
melt it. The two big round trash
cans that stood in the center of
the yard were fllled to the brim
and I wondered how the trash men
could carry those big heavy cans
across the yard. The big cherry
tree that branched out into the sky
was still. Oyr tree house laid
in that tree, but was covered by
the branches that hung over it.
As I walked to my grandmother's house, the plants that lined
her house seemed tobealivewith
the morning sun. Looking to a
side,
I 1rould see the fresh
tire tracks of my father's car.
Entering the house, the sweet
stale scent of my grandparents
house assured me that one of
them was home. I walked through
the dark cold hallway. As I
entered to the main part of the
house through the door, I could
hear my grandmother in the dimly
lit kitchen. I stepped in. She
was sitting on a chair next to a
chair next to a small round table,
seeing me, she called me over.
Her skin that had been like my
mothers, was old and shrivled,
her glassy black eyes stared into
mint.

In a very soft voice she answered.
"Working in the compress, h~e

"Why so early?"
"No se; they just called him to
work."
Sipping her coffee, her black
grayish hair curly and bushy, like
my m(!m•s~ blended into the darkness of the dimly lit room. She
stood up and the dress she had
_on had the sweet scent the house
always had. Feet dragging, she
went to wash dishes. As I sat,
she stood washing the dishes,

felt like jumping out and helping

A stalky, short mexicano stood by
my mother. They both stood talking, but I couldn't hear them. I
tried to focus on what they were

"Where ls everyo!le?"
"Please, .please leave my

IRA contract."
Other senators object to the
fact that there were no public
hearings on the contract. "The
feelings of a lot of the senators
ls that this contract should have
been discussed before the students," Senate chairman Karen
Clark told The Collegian.
It has also beeh fpund that the
last meeting of the '76 AS senate
was constitutionally lllegal be. cause of the improper use of
proxys by two senators.
The AS constitution allows for
the use of pr.oxys only ln the
case of a senator's class conflict.
But since the IRA was ratified at
11 p.m. at the June lS meeting
there could have been no class
confiicts on the part of the two
senators who used proxys •.
The proxys were therefore illegal, and the Senate could not
legally do business for lack of a
quorum.
Some senators. are contending
that this gives this year's AS
senate a legal loophole to get out
of the IRA contract if they wish
to do so.
University Accounting Officer
Thomas McGonaglll, who drafted
the IRA contract, disagrees.
"The fact that the June 13 meeting was constitutionally lllegal
doesn't alter the fact that the administration entered into the contract in good faith. The problem in th·e senate over the con- .
stltutionallty of their precedures
That
doesn't affect
the contract.
That's something for the senators
to sue- each other over."
McGonaglll sees the IRA controversy as significant only because 1t underlines the lack of
long-range planning in the AS
senate.
"When the university plans its
activities that planning process
goes on for years in advance,
he said. ''The university doesn't

some sort of a stabiUty."
"It would be ridiculous to plan
your forensics program based on
not knowtng anything about' what
·kind of funding you're going to

"We're very active in planning

there are goals and objectives

Students become 'big brothers
What do a hamburger ntpper, a bus driver, and
a CSUF administrator have in common?
The three of them give nv:e hours of their
time a week to a fatherless or motherless child
through the big brother program.
Mike Spradly is a psychology major (who
filps burgers at Lesterburger); Kathleen Shinaver is a child development-special ed major
(who drives .a bus); and Doug Calhoun is a CSUF
admintstra~or.
It ts people llke this who form the nucleus of
the big brother program. The program matches ·
volunteers with young boys or girls (between 813 years old) who ltve 1n single parent families.
Since there are about 10,000 single parent
famtlies in Fresno, the need ts great. Some
220 children and volunteers have already been
matched, and there are 200 children on the
waiting list. Public Relations man Bruce Morris would very much like to "crack"· CSUF and
f1nd some new volunteers.
To be matched with a little brother, a volunteer must go to an orientation, and have an
interview with a social worker , so the social
worker ·can pick a compatible little brother.
Then volunteer, child, and parent have an
interview with the social worker. For the
next month, volunteer and child spend time with
each other, and if they like · each other, the .
social worker declares them a "match.''
From then on, the pair do whatever they want
to do with each other. It•s· a requirement
that the big brother spend at least four or five
hoursJ a :week with the little brother. Otherwise, a relationship between the two isn't given
enough time to develop.
Big brothers are di scouraged from spending
too much money on the little brothers. "First
of all," says Doug Calhoun, "a fatherless
child does not need to be showered with lavish
presents, or -taken out all over town. The
ch1ld needs and wants the gift' of friendship.
Besides, if two kids from the same family are
in the program, and one kid'sbtgbrotherspends
more than the other kid's big brother, the kids
start to compare each others big brother. This
creates a bunch of hassles, and so the big brother is encouraged to do inexpensive things."
Kathleen Shinaver and her little sister might go
out and have tee cream, or go to the Fresno Junior Musium, ice skating, or bake cookies. They
have even planted a garden. "You do all the
tittle things you think you would like to do, but
You get a chance to do them more often, because you have a chi~d that's interested in doing
them too, and that makes it a lot more fun,"
she said.
Mike Spradly helps his little brother John do his
homeowrk, and on the day of the interview they
were on their way to the circus.
~ Doug Calhoun's little brother is 18 years
old (they've been matched for seven years), and
they work on each other's cars togethel'-. Doug's
hobby is orchid growing, so the two have gone
to several fiower shows together.
Several things discourage people from participating in the program. First, people don't
feel they have enough time, and can't spare four
hours a week. Others feel that they would be
matched with a juvenile delinquent who is going
to give them nothing but trouble, and wind up
stealing their car.
Actually, these are the kids who need guidance
and leadership because they've been denied a
certain kind of relationship. They haven't had
problems with the law; they just don't have a
parent, and need someone to look up to.
Also, many people think that a big broth,er is
just a glor1f1ed baby sitter. "Not so," says
Mike Spradly, "a baby sitter isn't always a
friend to the kid, but someone who says "go
to be.d now" or "turn that TV down." .
"A big brother is a good close friend the little
brother can trust with his thoughts and emotions."
A fatherless child really grows from this
experience. Mike says that John "has learned
more about responsibility, behavior, and respect, and that .he has matured.
Kathleen has seen a lot of growth in her little
sister Aurora. "At first Aurora was new in
town. She was very shy, she had no friends, and
she had a reading problem in school. We'd go
to the park, and after a run with my dog I would
read her a children's story and have her read
to me.
Her attitudes got better, her grades
improved, and she started making friends."
To the big brother or sister, the most surprising thing is the amount that they grow.
Kathleen said, "Yau are both growing together. I ·
get to see Aurora grow and that helps me look
at myself, and what type of person I am ."
''I've grown immensely," said Mike Spradly.
"I've learned so much more about myslei and
how to deal with other people. -I feel more sure
about myself, and I feel good about what I've
done."
''It's just a good feeling to be helping someone and not getting paid for it," said Doug.
Kathleen said she would recommend that other
CSUF students become big brothers or big sisters. "Because its such a great experience, you
would feel so good if you would give a little
chlld four hours of your time a week," she
said. ''It's a lot of smlles, a lot of happy Umes,
and a lot of growing."

Letters to the editor
I am an avid Bulldog sports fan
who is absolutely appalled at the
sports coverage- of the Collegian.
Sports are a major part of any
big university, and therefore deserve a proportionate amount of
coverage.
In the past, the Collegian did
a fairly decent job of sports
coverage. This -year, sports coverage has either been,ttttle, or
entirely non-existent.
I noticed that the sports article
in the Sept. 13 issue of the Collegian was written by a staff reporter. Doesn't the Collegian have
a regular sports reporter, whose
only job is the reporting of sports?
The most degrading thing about
the Collegian's sports coverage is
its coverage of the Bulldog football team. As of this date (Sept.
13), I have yet to see an article
about the recent Bulldog loss to

' It seema very strange to me how

students will go to the game.

Someone once said Art is anything with pattern, · rhythm and

there is also good art and the

Between these two there is a
very thin line that some never

Art work itself; an object. On the
other side of the · line lies its
meaning, its symbolism, anything
that it may have to say.
No two people can see the same
thing at the same time and angle.
In that case no two interpretations
of an object can be exactly the
Iem. You have to have two of
them to get anyplace. They can

Industry ·backs new ra1s1n
(Continued from p. 3)
Petrucci initiated the DOV research project
at CSUF (that has since grown to 200 acres) in
1970 after visiting Austrailla in 196!! on sabbatical leave, >1ewing the process first hand and
adapting it to California conditions.
The early years of the program were funded
by a large grant from the United States Departm~nt of Agriculture, and in past years the chemical companies that produce the drying spray
have carried the ball, said Foster, but O'lerall,
"money for the project has been scarce ...
However, after last years diastrous, rain-de- .
vastated harvest, Foster said nnancial suppcrt
has surfaced\. The support originates from private industry and quasi-governmental agencies
wlth a stake in the outcome and future -of the
harvest, like the California Raisin Advisory
Board, which donated $6,2,000 this year, the
bulk of the research budget.
One effect of the DOV process has been a
change in the taste and app9arance of the raisin.
"The DOV raisin ls a natural raisin,., said
Foster, "due to the slower oxidation process.
It ls a thinner, more tender, sweeter and lighter
colored raisin."
A recent USDA consumer survey on the acceptab111ty of the DOV raisin as an alternative to
· the natural dried raisin revealed favorable reaction in both domestic and foreign markets, but
were not ade.9uate enough to formulate any definite conclusion about the potential for DOV
raisins in these markets.
Industry support has been favorable, said
Foster, explaining that the PresldentofSunmald
Raisins, Frank Light, has spoken highly of the'
marketablllty and potential of the DOV raisin,
According to Light, the DOV raisin would tie
advantageous:
--because of its resemblance to foreign produced raisins._ California ls the only place in
the entire world to dry raisins naturally, and
it would open the U.S. to foreign markets ;
--the very nature of the DOV ls processing
virtually guarantees a product;
--superior U.S. technology and qualtty would
enhance the marketing success of the product
in foreign markets.
Surprisingly, said Foster, most resistance to
the DOV process has come from the older established farmers in the Valley who see no reason to change an age old system that has worked
for them for years.
And it ls to those reluctant to change that the
second expert mental process, SOT, is geared,
said Foster.
While the DOV is seen as a total departure
from conventional methods, the SOT is a variation of the natural method that wtll cut drying
Ume from anywhere from one-fourth to one-half,
The SOT prqcess consists of handpicking the
raisins ala the natural method, laying them on
the trays and allowing the sun to do its work-but only for three to six days.
Then, the same food grade material used in
the DOV process ls applied to the grapes on
the tray, and within six to eight days, the
raisins are mechanically picked up and boxed,
The entire process takes between 14 to 21
days and bypasses the costly expense of turning ,
and rolllni the trays, ,
But while this system has worked emcfently
tn a lim\ted and controlled experiment ln the
CBUF vineyard, Foster sees no immediate commercial ad~ptatlon for a plethora of reasons.
It's uncertain, said Foster, at what volume
the spray should be applied for larger acreage,
and because of exorbitant material and application costs t it ls not yet seen as economically
feasible:
Also, whlle the CSUF research trays were
hoisted by an experimental mechanical pickup
machine, thus avoiding turning and rolling the
trays, no such machine is curretnly available
for commercial use.
Tllls means the cost of turning and roll1ng the
trays would remain, in ad~tion to the added
spraying .costs.
Also, the CSUF research team was able to
control the amount of grapes laid on the trays
because of the limited size of the experiment,
but a local grower would not have the same
luxury.
However, a surprise bonus of this process
was the discovery of a new method of terracing
the grape furrows for SOT raisin drying.
In lieu of the conventional terrace sloped to
the north (allowing for peak exposure to the sun)
a terrace is now run evenly across down the
center of the row, with two gouged forrows running parrellel alongside.
This raised terrace allows for more efficient
water runoff in case of rain, and a straight
allghnment of the grape trays. The gouged
furrows also provide workers with a place to
walk and stand without iJ!terfering with the
tray alignment.

The Oalcland Raiders battle
cry is "Silver and Black is
going back."
The battle cry in Minnesota
is "this time.for sure."
And after a disastrous 1-5
pre--season, Los Angeles Ram
fans are just plain crying.
What does this all mean?
It. means the Raiders and Vikes
will play fqr all the marbles
in New Orleans come January.
The defending champion Raiders
will "go back" because they have
a much improved defense (three
shutouts in six exhibition games.)
On offense Ken Stabler, Cliff
Branch, John Vella and Dave
Casper don't show any signs
of letting up. But mostimportant
they have depth including the
capable Mike Rae, should Stabler's knees give out •
Oalcland's main challenge in
the AFC West is from explosive
San Diego and Seattle. The Chargers added fieet Johnny Rodgers
and passer James Harris. Seattle
is no longer expansion caliber.
They'll score from anywhere on
the fteld. Denver and Kansas
City will follow right behind.
If anyone has a shot at Oakland
it's Cincinnati- who'll ftnally
shake Pittsburgh in the AFC
Central. The Steelers are stale
after three years at the top
and will tie with unpredictable
Cleveland for second. Dan Pastorin! is doing more harm than
good in Houston. Last place for
sure.
In the East, the Patriots wlll
win a sgueaker with the Colts.
If Pat QB Steve Grogan is running out of the pocket, their
offense will be running up points.
Baltimore needs ·a more balanced
running attack and Bert Jones
doesn't use TE Ray Chester to his
full potential.
Miami is going to field a decent
offense this season but a .500
~howing is the most one can expect. Buffalo and the NY Jets
will bring up the rear. -
NFC
The Rams are up to their
helmets in hot water and being
a Ram fan, I •ve had it with the
QB carousel. The new face in
camp is Joe Namath. Gone are
Harris and budding superstar
Ron Jaworski. This leaves Pat
Haden and newcomer Vince Ferragamo.
The Ram offense as a wbole
is suffering and will do so until
someone other than Chuck Knox
calls the plays. Maybe Namath
is washed up, but if he's going
to play, let him call the shots.
He's one of the best at reading
a defense that I've ever seen.
Now let's clear the air. 11m

year of the Bears. This ls the
year of the Bears second place

and that's that.
Bud Grant has gone to the
3-4 defense to capitalize on ·the
best linebacldng crew in football.
Along with good special teams
and balanced offense, the end
result will be an unprece,,ten~d
fifth Super Bowl appearance.
A much improved Detroit is
third and Green Bay and Tampa
Bay fight for the cellar.
In the East, Dallas has one
of the strongest teams Tom
Landry has had.
At 35, QB
Roger Staubach is in marvelous
shape. The front four led by
Harvey Martin, may be the best
in the NFC. The Cowboys are
the only team strong enough t~

Sween~y: 'Dogs mu'st improve'
The Bulldogs will kick off their
50th home opener Saturday night
at Ratcliffe Stadium, hoping that
the costly turnovers last week
wtll not plague them against Boise
State.
·
Kickoff for the first meeting
between the two schools is at
7:30 p.m.
While the Bulldogs are coming
off of a 34-13 loss against Southwestern Louisiana, the Broncos
come to Fresno fresh from a
come-from-behind win over Weber State 19-9. The Broncos
trailed 9-0 at the half.
Bulldog head coach Jim Swe·eney,
who complimented Boise as
having "a tremendous football .
situation," noted that the 'Dogs
will have their work cut out for
them."
"As usual, our opponent will
be bigger than we are. Size and
strength will be in their favor and
speed will be with us. We must
get tougher," he said.
Sweeney said the Broncos are .
as large as San Diego State on the
offensive line, and bigthroughout
their defensive unit.
One thing the Bulldogs will
have to correct will be the fumbling that plagued them against the
Ragin' Cajuns last week. The
'Dogs fumbled 12 times, losing
seven to the Cajuns, who lost
two of their five fumbles.

Dream ·of 'Radio BilingUe'
Becomes Promising Reality
,,.
.
By Elvia Ruiz
A long overdue San Joaquin
Vailey Spanish-English billngual
radio station may be near reality,
if a CSUF group has its way.
In February, La Raza studies
professors formed Radio Billn:.
gue, Inc., a non-profit organization for the development of a bilingual radio station in the valley.
The oganization, composed of
six board members, has been
working on the preliminary
groundwork necessary for obtaining a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license
to start a radio station.
Hugo Morales, La Raza studies
instructor, and spokesman for
the Radio Billngue, feels the San
Joaquin Valley is in need of a
bilingual radio station and suggests Fresno as an ideal base
clty in which to proadcast.
"We feel there is more potential for a billngual station
because of the Chicano population,'' states Morales. He adds,
"There ls a larger concentration
of middle-class Chicanos her~
who will be more iikely to support us.''
Morales also states that in
- Fresno, Radio Billngue, has the
support of La Raza Studies and
the Radio Television department
at CSUF.
According to Morales, progress on the station is developing faster, than he expected.
The organization has already
completed a survey of the Fresno
community which is an FCC regulation. Over 500 random survey calls were completed this
summer to individuals in the
community.
"The purpose of these survey
calls was to find out ,what the
problems of the community are,"
says Morales. ''We also did a
target _survey in which we interviewed Chicanos to find out what
type of programming they would
like to have."
Radio Blllngue also interviewed
leaders of the community to see
how programming will deal with
them.
However, Morales says the station must raise $250,000 for necessary equipment to startoperatlons.
Since February, students and
the board have been organizing
fund-raisers and writing proposals to di!!erent organizations in
an attempt to raise the money.
"Money is a problem," says
Morales, "But once the FCC
approves -us, 1t will be easter to
get money for the radio station
because we co~ld get a license. u
,
Ramircr Jacinto, a junior at
CSUF, agrees with Morales about
the money problem.
Jacinto
stresses that Chicano students at
CSUF should organize and start
a student support group to help
raise funds for the station.
''I think the students should come
out and -help try to form some
stu(lent support club. They are
usually very good about this and
always come out and help," says1
J acinto.
•
The bullc of the programming
will be in Spanish and will be
directed towards the Chicano
community,' but the news broadcasts will be in both Spanish and
English.
,
Morales also states the radio
st~tion will have talk-shows in
which the problems of the community wtll be discussed. Community leaders and other mem~rs of the . community will be
encouraged to voice their opinions on issues affecting Fresno,
he says.
vice of legal counsel preferred not
to comment further.
When a La Voz reporter asked
the CSUF affirmative action coordinator, Lily Small, about the
alleged illegitimate search under
affirmative action guidelines she
responded, "it's .the first I've
heard." She added that she believed Corralejo didn't meet the
qualifications as specified.
Small then said she was not
prepared to m~e a statement
and did not care to comment further until she had seen the facts.
Dale Burtner, UPC president
at CSUF, also pointed out that no

Brewer Plans Not To
-Molest EOP Institute
.

.
,
by Tomas Uribes
A:S. President Bill Brewer,
who once advocated the abolishment 9f the EOP Summer Institute, now says he sees its advan°
tages.
'•There was a bond between
the students," said Brewer last
week of his visit to the two-week
Institute in August. ''I felt they
were there to help each other
help themselves. That surprised me."
At that visit, · in which he
spoke to the incoming CSUF EOP
students during a session on
student government and organi- ·zations, Brewer encountered apprehensiveness on the part of
the students.
·He was asked how he felt
about the Educational Opportunity
Program and resP,Onded that
everyone feels there particular
group should have priority.
He said he intended to have
a newly-formed cabinet evaluate
the program along with all other ·
student funded programs.
However, Brewer's appearance
before the students this summer
has apparently contributed to a
change in his attitude.
''I had felt some programs
were a ripoff, that students were
flung into a situation they weren't
really ready to handle, u he said
last week. ''I felt I was flung
into something like that when I
entered college and many good
people helped me out."
'' That's what I saw in ·EOP,
people helping each other help
themselves. That's exactly what
I got, somebody to help me set
goals, motivate me, and find
direction.",
However, he skirted arouna
the issue of what level of priority the Summer Institute commanded.
"I'm not so naive as to believe
the Sum mer Institute has no
advantage to incoming students, u
he said. ''I don't know much
about the EOP program and the
Summer Institute but I feel 1t
is a concept ln which EOP students have not had the kinds of
advantages other students have,
of all races."
Whatever priority status Brewer

The Institute became the center
of the controversy in last may's
budget battle.
Faced with a
shrinking budget, the Senate
eventually funded the program

for $7900, a flimsy successor
to previous fundings.
Its first y~ar, SI ran six weeks
on $30,000 from the student budget. It has been cut each year
and this summer it was down to
two weeks.
The budget hearings in May
got hot when "secret budgets"
were proposed. Al one point,
students were preparing to resort
to a demonstra_tlon.
The Institute is a separate
component from the overall EOP
Program, which ts · funded primarily by federal and state taxpayer money. The Institute is one
of many activities funded through
the $15 fee students pay each
semester.
It ts designed to help the in.. ,
corning EOP students "assess individ"ual academic needs, as well
as provide orientation to campus
life," according to a study of
EOP statewide by a private firm,
Hornitz, Allen and Associates.

Now the CSUF chapter of
United Professors of California
(UPC) has entered the picture.
UPC has backed Corralejo's
nomination with
a resolution
that states they will "support the
restoration of self-determlnization to the La Raza faculty and
urge those responsible at all levels for the program to assist
in this process."
Cisneros explained the reason
for the cut in her position was
due to a "special formula" dictating one secretary to 10 professors. La Raza Studies has
never qualified ltke many other
programs and departments but
other departments still have full
time secretaries.
The budget cut to the School of
Social Science -was the sharpest,
said Luna. The History uepartment, the Urban and Regional
Planning Department, the Ethnic
Studies Program and the Dean,
himself, all lost clerical help as
a result of the budget cut.
But since Clsneros has worked
for CSUF for eight years, she has
tenure. Personnel must find her
full time employment within the
university.
Luna feels this cut is an attempt
by Volpp to force smaller programs and departments to join
with much , larger departments.
Other anonymous sources think it
ts another attempt, in a rash of
many, to do away with m1nor1ty
programs all together.

Rai'sin harvest program
nears big breakthrough
valley growers may someday have less reason
to fear the threat of September rains akin to
those that decimated last years' raisin harvest,
if two experimental raisin drying processes
currently being researched by the CSUF Viticulture Department are successful.
The first, the · revolutionary Dried-On-The
Vine (DOV) process, would reduce the susceptib111ty of the drying fruit~ rain damage. The
second, the more conventional Sprayed-On-TheTray (SOT) process, would significantly curtail
the harvest period, and thus minimize crop
exposure to· the unpredictable elements.
The DOV experiment "is the first of its
kind in the United states," said Project Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci.
The DOV process entails the spraying of the
grape bunches with a combination of food grade
materials that d:ry the fruit on the vine, and
then mechanically harvesting the crop after a
one-to-three week drying period, dependent UPon
vineyard and weather conditions.
Chemically _drying raisins -ls nothing new,
RAISIN RESEARCH PROJECT Director and Viticulture Department Chairman Vincent Petrucci
(right) and Field Analyst Dave Foster {left) are
spea:hea~ing the experimental raisin drying pro-
said Petrucci, as the process is quite P,revalent in Australia and other countries. But it
is new to Valley growers, conditioned to the
usual handpicked-and-dried-by-sunlight method.
In comparison with the natural method, the
time factors are similar (roughly one month
for the entire process). However, the DOV
costs more, and there is as yet an unexplained
10-20 per cent crop yield loss, and a myriad
of costly and necessary vineyard alterations
that must be adopted to facilitate the harvesting process, including special trellising and
pruning of the vine.
But the DOV method's plusses far outweigh
• its minuses, said th_e project's field analyst and
Petrucci's top assistant, Dave Foster.
"By keeping the crop off the ground (the single
major advantage of the DOV process) you minimize the rain problem," explained Foster. He
adtled that as labor becomes scarce and its
cost escalates, the DOV procedure_ will offer
a viable alternative when perfected.
Foster believes that 1f the DOV method is

'for · skllled pruners to prune the vineyard
properly" on the trellises, to accommodate the
spraying procedure and to fac111tate the mechanized harvesting of the crop.
Also, as sanitary standards for raisin production grow more stringent, the DOV process
would eliminate m:>st contamination from bird,
insect, or animal feces.
Foster, who ts responsible for all fleld
research, said that while the project ls progressing at a satisfactory pace, "we're still
in the experimental stages, gathering data." He
foresees large scale adoption of the procedure
as "a bit further down the road."
Eventually, Foster said 'they hope to hone
the procedure to such a flexible degree that
any farmer can adapt his operation to DOV
using conyentlonal systems and equipment.
Until then, Foster urges few farmers to
apply the method, c1Ung numerous examples of
grower failures due to lack of preparation that
set back the program a fe·w years ago.
"This ts a relatively sophisticated operation,"
said Foster, and most of today's raisin growers
are not yet able to co:Re with its intricacies
and conditions wltqout supervision, or the exorbitant conversion costs.
To convert from a conventional system to
the OOV process would require a farmer to
retrellls his vineyard, thin the follage, _and obtain

expenditures.

'Bakke Decision' Incites Protest==T=======herewi=llbe=aMEC=HAm=eeting=today=atl2:0=0.

By Diane Solis
Stormy clouds of controversy
have banked over the Supreme
Court of the United States for the
last year. Within the next month.
the Supreme Court wlll review
one of the most important civll
rights decisions since the desegregatlr n rulings of the 1950's.
In center ls Allan Bakke, a 38
year-old white engineer .'who
wants to become a doctor • .He
was twice denied admission to the
University of Caltforijia Medical
School at Davis, which set a goal
of 16 to 100 places for minorities.
Bakke then. sued claiming that the
university's minority admissions program unfairly discriminated against him by admitting
"less-qualified" minority students.
If Bakke wins his case, it wi,11
ignite a dangerous precedent that
may well collapse affirmative
action programs throughout the
nation.
Because of the lctng history of
flagrant discrimination against
mlnorlties, a tidal wave of litigation seiiking equal rights ensued with the passage of the Clvtl
Rights Act of 1964. A victory for
Bakke wtll recede the advances
of that Ude and recede all the
gains made not only by minorities
but women, veterans and the
handicapped.
Also, there ls a strong conviction among lawyers, particularly the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund
(MALDEF), that the case was .so
poorly prepared In state courts
that it ls not a good test case on
the basic constitutional issue at
stake.
Many· theorized that the university helped engineer Bakke's
challenge to its special admlssions program. The university
was also said to have made major
concessions to Bakke's side during the case, just to insure that
the issues would be presented l_n
s11ch a way that the quota system
would have little chance of surviving the challenge.
MALDEF and other organizations are urging the justices to
simply overturn the original California Supreme Court ruling,
whi,ch nullified the regents' quota .
·system, and then send the case
back to that tribunal for further
development.
Toward tlfis goal anAnti-Bakke
Decision Committee (ABDC) has
been formed, aiming their struggle not just at the courts, but
with conferences, rallies and demonstrations against the Bakke
decision.
The ABDC ls calllng on all people to join with them Oct. 15 at
the federal building in San Francisco for a National Day of Solidarity against the Bakke decision.
Locally, the ABDC holds regional meetings every Wednesday

A ShOrt Story
By Pedro Ramirez
I awoke. staring into a dark
stlent room. Looking around,
everything that! looked a,,t seemed
strange. I could see dark Images
against the wall. I tried to focus
on something that was familiar,
the stained green . cetllng with
cracks that ran on lt. My eyes
followed the path of a fly that
Zipped by, the picture of my mother on the wall. Then I could
smell the fresh scent of tortillas being· made and it assured
me of being home. As the sun
peeped Into the cracks of the
stale whlte curtains I could hear
the clattering of dishes, the sizzling of food cooking, the soft
pound of torijlas being made.
I rolled on my· side and curling
my tongue with hunger, jumped
out of bed. I walked out of my
cold shabby room and went directly to the kitchen. The coldness of the floor made me stum- ·
ble down the hallway.
As I·
entered, my mom, who was cooking, told me that everyone had
gone to work. They left me again.
I was small at the time; so my
father had promised to take me,
but he never did. Everyone had
gone.
I sat down and looking up I
noticed ' my mother's smooth
brown skin and her soft brown
eyes, that slightly glowed in the
dimly lltkltchen. Her thick, black
curly hair made her face round
,and her s.m ne made her chubby
cheeks stand out. As_she served
me her chubby body felt warm
next to mine. I ate.
Finishing, she asked me what I
had planned for the day. I told
her that I wanted to visit my
grandmother.
We li~ed in a small woodenframed house behind ~y grandmother's house. It was a cozy
home, during the day it seemed
warm and at night it was cold.
The kitchen always seemed to be
warm, no matter what season
of the year it was. I finished
eating dnd my mom had her back
turned to me. She was washing
dishes and as I got up out of my
chair, she turned, I stood looking
at her, she dazed at me and
waited for me to tell her what
plans I had, I stepped closer
and asked her.
"Can I please go outside
mama?"
"Yes, but watch yourself and
don't let anyone bother you."
"See you later."
"Okay hijo."
Walking out, the fresh smell
of watered soll seeped through
my nose, and the crisp fresh
air made my body shiver. Directly in front of me stood the
big, green framed house that belonged to my grandparents. The
paint on it was chipped and the
rusted screens stayed in place.
I loo~ed around the big yard that
both of us shared, it was covered
with frost, the sun would soon
melt it. The two big round trash
cans that stood in the center of
the yard were fllled to the brim
and I wondered how the trash men
could carry those big heavy cans
across the yard. The big cherry
tree that branched out into the sky
was still. Oyr tree house laid
in that tree, but was covered by
the branches that hung over it.
As I walked to my grandmother's house, the plants that lined
her house seemed tobealivewith
the morning sun. Looking to a
side,
I 1rould see the fresh
tire tracks of my father's car.
Entering the house, the sweet
stale scent of my grandparents
house assured me that one of
them was home. I walked through
the dark cold hallway. As I
entered to the main part of the
house through the door, I could
hear my grandmother in the dimly
lit kitchen. I stepped in. She
was sitting on a chair next to a
chair next to a small round table,
seeing me, she called me over.
Her skin that had been like my
mothers, was old and shrivled,
her glassy black eyes stared into
mint.
11 Wliere's
Abuelo (grandfather)," I asked her.
In a very soft voice she answered.
"Working in the compress, h~e
went in at six." •
"Why so early?"
"No se; they just called him to
work."
Sipping her coffee, her black
grayish hair curly and bushy, like
my m(!m•s~ blended into the darkness of the dimly lit room. She
stood up and the dress she had
_on had the sweet scent the house
always had. Feet dragging, she
went to wash dishes. As I sat,
she stood washing the dishes,
then in that low, aged voice she

earlier than usual. I felt someone shaking me. I thought I was
dreaming, 1t was my mother. She
told me toruae somewhere qutckly; I jumped out ot bed and jumped behind the dresser. I knew we
didn't have a ·chance because all
our men were gone. They had
gone off to other parts of the
country. I began to feel cold, because I knew my famtly could
all be killed. I could hear gun
shots in the distance, people
screaming and yelling as they
entered houses. My body fell into
a chlll. I grew tense. our front
door iHR6 llur crashing made
me numb. I could not move. I
felt like jumping out and helping
my mother, but I knew she
wouldn't like that. I peeped into
the living room to see who it was.
A stalky, short mexicano stood by
my mother. They both stood talking, but I couldn't hear them. I
tried to focus on what they were
saying. I heard him say,
"Where ls everyo!le?"
"Please, .please leave my
house," my mother begged,
·"Shut up you stupid bitch. Who
are you?" He said in a very wicked voice. I thought he was going
to strike her and I almost let out
a scream, but I held onto it and I
cried for fear.
Something ran
, through my body that I never felt
before. I was scared. I wanted
to go out and save my tnom, but
I couldn't. My mom wouldn't like
· that. I crunched up into a tight
ball and wept to myself and prayed
like 'I've never done in my life.

Senate explores option to break IRA contract

The Associated Student Senate
ts exploring the possiblllty of
breaking a controversial contract
with the administration that the
previous senate ratified ln the
eleventh hour of their final meeting last year.
The Instructionally Related Actlvtues contract, which provides
set funding levels for IRA programs for three years, has come
under fire from some senators
who claim that the IRA contract
was ratified under questionable
and illegal circumstances.
"It was lumped together with
flve other btlls and passed without any discussion or analysts,"
. said Senator Russ Greer. ''lt
was late and the senators wanted
to go home but they stm had
five bllls to vote on, so they just
lumped all the .b ills together and

Ecology essay p _rize
A New York -based conser-·
vatlon organization has announced an annual ·$8,000 scholarship program for university
students who submit winning
essays ln support of a Congressional bill aimed at ending hu_man
exploitation of animals.
The contest will center on
the Wllliams- Longs btll in the
Congress which would ban the
interstate shipment of furs from
any state or nation which has
the ct·evtce used to catch and hold
fur-bearing animals such as
racoon, bobcat and coyote, as
well as other animals wanted
by the tur industry.
The scholarship program was
made possible by a grant from
Regina Bauer Frankenburg, a
director of Friends of Animals,
Inc., and pr_esident of its Washington lobby, the Committee for
Humane Legislation, Inc,
'•we want to encourage the young
people who wm be in charge
of a new world which includes
the earth and animals in its
ethical scheme to expedite the
transition through rational and
phllisophlcal influence on the
people of Congress." The scholarship awards will be made to
students,
undergraduate
or
graduate, majoring in the fields
of philosophy, journalism, law,
economics, theology and/ or
political science.

cusslon or analysts done on the
IRA contract."
Other senators object to the
fact that there were no public
hearings on the contract. "The
feelings of a lot of the senators
ls that this contract should have
been discussed before the students," Senate chairman Karen
Clark told The Collegian.
It has also beeh fpund that the
last meeting of the '76 AS senate
was constitutionally lllegal be. cause of the improper use of
proxys by two senators.
The AS constitution allows for
the use of pr.oxys only ln the
case of a senator's class conflict.
But since the IRA was ratified at
11 p.m. at the June lS meeting
there could have been no class
confiicts on the part of the two
senators who used proxys •.
The proxys were therefore illegal, and the Senate could not
legally do business for lack of a
quorum.
Some senators. are contending
that this gives this year's AS
senate a legal loophole to get out
of the IRA contract if they wish
to do so.
University Accounting Officer
Thomas McGonaglll, who drafted
the IRA contract, disagrees.
"The fact that the June 13 meeting was constitutionally lllegal
doesn't alter the fact that the administration entered into the contract in good faith. The problem in th·e senate over the con- .
stltutionallty of their precedures
That
doesn't affect
the contract.
That's something for the senators
to sue- each other over."
McGonaglll sees the IRA controversy as significant only because 1t underlines the lack of
long-range planning in the AS
senate.
"When the university plans its
activities that planning process
goes on for years in advance,
he said. ''The university doesn't
work on ayear-to-yearbaslsllke
the Associated Students do. We
have to be able to project where
we're going, what kinds of activlties we'll be involved i_n, what
1s their own problem.
it's going to cost. So we need
some sort of a stabiUty."
"It would be ridiculous to plan
your forensics program based on
not knowtng anything about' what
·kind of funding you're going to
get year to year," he said.
"We're very active in planning
at least two or three years 1n
advance. And even longer term,
there are goals and objectives
the the university has, adtrectlon
it's going. And it's very difficult to do that when you're re- .
acting to and working with an
organization that has not, at least
at this point, seemed to· define
what its goals and objectives are
in any kind of long-term basis."

Students become 'big brothers
What do a hamburger ntpper, a bus driver, and
a CSUF administrator have in common?
The three of them give nv:e hours of their
time a week to a fatherless or motherless child
through the big brother program.
Mike Spradly is a psychology major (who
filps burgers at Lesterburger); Kathleen Shinaver is a child development-special ed major
(who drives .a bus); and Doug Calhoun is a CSUF
admintstra~or.
It ts people llke this who form the nucleus of
the big brother program. The program matches ·
volunteers with young boys or girls (between 813 years old) who ltve 1n single parent families.
Since there are about 10,000 single parent
famtlies in Fresno, the need ts great. Some
220 children and volunteers have already been
matched, and there are 200 children on the
waiting list. Public Relations man Bruce Morris would very much like to "crack"· CSUF and
f1nd some new volunteers.
To be matched with a little brother, a volunteer must go to an orientation, and have an
interview with a social worker , so the social
worker ·can pick a compatible little brother.
Then volunteer, child, and parent have an
interview with the social worker. For the
next month, volunteer and child spend time with
each other, and if they like · each other, the .
social worker declares them a "match.''
From then on, the pair do whatever they want
to do with each other. It•s· a requirement
that the big brother spend at least four or five
hoursJ a :week with the little brother. Otherwise, a relationship between the two isn't given
enough time to develop.
Big brothers are di scouraged from spending
too much money on the little brothers. "First
of all," says Doug Calhoun, "a fatherless
child does not need to be showered with lavish
presents, or -taken out all over town. The
ch1ld needs and wants the gift' of friendship.
Besides, if two kids from the same family are
in the program, and one kid'sbtgbrotherspends
more than the other kid's big brother, the kids
start to compare each others big brother. This
creates a bunch of hassles, and so the big brother is encouraged to do inexpensive things."
Kathleen Shinaver and her little sister might go
out and have tee cream, or go to the Fresno Junior Musium, ice skating, or bake cookies. They
have even planted a garden. "You do all the
tittle things you think you would like to do, but
You get a chance to do them more often, because you have a chi~d that's interested in doing
them too, and that makes it a lot more fun,"
she said.
Mike Spradly helps his little brother John do his
homeowrk, and on the day of the interview they
were on their way to the circus.
~ Doug Calhoun's little brother is 18 years
old (they've been matched for seven years), and
they work on each other's cars togethel'-. Doug's
hobby is orchid growing, so the two have gone
to several fiower shows together.
Several things discourage people from participating in the program. First, people don't
feel they have enough time, and can't spare four
hours a week. Others feel that they would be
matched with a juvenile delinquent who is going
to give them nothing but trouble, and wind up
stealing their car.
Actually, these are the kids who need guidance
and leadership because they've been denied a
certain kind of relationship. They haven't had
problems with the law; they just don't have a
parent, and need someone to look up to.
Also, many people think that a big broth,er is
just a glor1f1ed baby sitter. "Not so," says
Mike Spradly, "a baby sitter isn't always a
friend to the kid, but someone who says "go
to be.d now" or "turn that TV down." .
"A big brother is a good close friend the little
brother can trust with his thoughts and emotions."
A fatherless child really grows from this
experience. Mike says that John "has learned
more about responsibility, behavior, and respect, and that .he has matured.
Kathleen has seen a lot of growth in her little
sister Aurora. "At first Aurora was new in
town. She was very shy, she had no friends, and
she had a reading problem in school. We'd go
to the park, and after a run with my dog I would
read her a children's story and have her read
to me.
Her attitudes got better, her grades
improved, and she started making friends."
To the big brother or sister, the most surprising thing is the amount that they grow.
Kathleen said, "Yau are both growing together. I ·
get to see Aurora grow and that helps me look
at myself, and what type of person I am ."
''I've grown immensely," said Mike Spradly.
"I've learned so much more about myslei and
how to deal with other people. -I feel more sure
about myself, and I feel good about what I've
done."
''It's just a good feeling to be helping someone and not getting paid for it," said Doug.
Kathleen said she would recommend that other
CSUF students become big brothers or big sisters. "Because its such a great experience, you
would feel so good if you would give a little
chlld four hours of your time a week," she
said. ''It's a lot of smlles, a lot of happy Umes,
and a lot of growing."

Letters to the editor
I am an avid Bulldog sports fan
who is absolutely appalled at the
sports coverage- of the Collegian.
Sports are a major part of any
big university, and therefore deserve a proportionate amount of
coverage.
In the past, the Collegian did
a fairly decent job of sports
coverage. This -year, sports coverage has either been,ttttle, or
entirely non-existent.
I noticed that the sports article
in the Sept. 13 issue of the Collegian was written by a staff reporter. Doesn't the Collegian have
a regular sports reporter, whose
only job is the reporting of sports?
The most degrading thing about
the Collegian's sports coverage is
its coverage of the Bulldog football team. As of this date (Sept.
13), I have yet to see an article
about the recent Bulldog loss to

' It seema very strange to me how
a campus newspaper can have
such poor coverage of a major
money making sport such as football. Another point - a campus
newspaper should inform the students of what is going on on the
campus.
And the next week's football
game should be announced as soon
as the last one is over, especially if it is a home game, so
students will go to the game.
I sincerely hope that sports

The mid-summer release which
preceeds a tour with such people
as Linda Rondstadt (Friday night
in Selland Arena) is boring, unimaginative,
poorly produced,
and personally the most disappointing album I •ve ever purchased.

the album scares me. I've always
been a big Leadon fan, from
his stints with the Flying Burrito
Brothers through his surprising
departure from the Eagles. But .

have some bouncing back to do.
Most of the blame for this

the lap of producer Glyn Johns.

(In my opinion Browne's are the
most uncreative
melodies in
country rock music). On this
album Leadon's songs aren't
much better. So it's up to the
producer to use his know-how
and get the most out of it. ·
When Leadon was with the
Eagles they could make up for
a bad song with rich three or

Someone once said Art is anything with pattern, · rhythm and

there is also good art and the
mediocre.
Between these two there is a
very thin line that some never

Art work itself; an object. On the
other side of the · line lies its
meaning, its symbolism, anything
that it may have to say.
No two people can see the same
thing at the same time and angle.
In that case no two interpretations
of an object can be exactly the
Iem. You have to have two of
them to get anyplace. They can

Industry ·backs new ra1s1n
(Continued from p. 3)
Petrucci initiated the DOV research project
at CSUF (that has since grown to 200 acres) in
1970 after visiting Austrailla in 196!! on sabbatical leave, >1ewing the process first hand and
adapting it to California conditions.
The early years of the program were funded
by a large grant from the United States Departm~nt of Agriculture, and in past years the chemical companies that produce the drying spray
have carried the ball, said Foster, but O'lerall,
"money for the project has been scarce ...
However, after last years diastrous, rain-de- .
vastated harvest, Foster said nnancial suppcrt
has surfaced\. The support originates from private industry and quasi-governmental agencies
wlth a stake in the outcome and future -of the
harvest, like the California Raisin Advisory
Board, which donated $6,2,000 this year, the
bulk of the research budget.
One effect of the DOV process has been a
change in the taste and app9arance of the raisin.
"The DOV raisin ls a natural raisin,., said
Foster, "due to the slower oxidation process.
It ls a thinner, more tender, sweeter and lighter
colored raisin."
A recent USDA consumer survey on the acceptab111ty of the DOV raisin as an alternative to
· the natural dried raisin revealed favorable reaction in both domestic and foreign markets, but
were not ade.9uate enough to formulate any definite conclusion about the potential for DOV
raisins in these markets.
Industry support has been favorable, said
Foster, explaining that the PresldentofSunmald
Raisins, Frank Light, has spoken highly of the'
marketablllty and potential of the DOV raisin,
According to Light, the DOV raisin would tie
advantageous:
--because of its resemblance to foreign produced raisins._ California ls the only place in
the entire world to dry raisins naturally, and
it would open the U.S. to foreign markets ;
--the very nature of the DOV ls processing
virtually guarantees a product;
--superior U.S. technology and qualtty would
enhance the marketing success of the product
in foreign markets.
Surprisingly, said Foster, most resistance to
the DOV process has come from the older established farmers in the Valley who see no reason to change an age old system that has worked
for them for years.
And it ls to those reluctant to change that the
second expert mental process, SOT, is geared,
said Foster.
While the DOV is seen as a total departure
from conventional methods, the SOT is a variation of the natural method that wtll cut drying
Ume from anywhere from one-fourth to one-half,
The SOT prqcess consists of handpicking the
raisins ala the natural method, laying them on
the trays and allowing the sun to do its work-but only for three to six days.
Then, the same food grade material used in
the DOV process ls applied to the grapes on
the tray, and within six to eight days, the
raisins are mechanically picked up and boxed,
The entire process takes between 14 to 21
days and bypasses the costly expense of turning ,
and rolllni the trays, ,
But while this system has worked emcfently
tn a lim\ted and controlled experiment ln the
CBUF vineyard, Foster sees no immediate commercial ad~ptatlon for a plethora of reasons.
It's uncertain, said Foster, at what volume
the spray should be applied for larger acreage,
and because of exorbitant material and application costs t it ls not yet seen as economically
feasible:
Also, whlle the CSUF research trays were
hoisted by an experimental mechanical pickup
machine, thus avoiding turning and rolling the
trays, no such machine is curretnly available
for commercial use.
Tllls means the cost of turning and roll1ng the
trays would remain, in ad~tion to the added
spraying .costs.
Also, the CSUF research team was able to
control the amount of grapes laid on the trays
because of the limited size of the experiment,
but a local grower would not have the same
luxury.
However, a surprise bonus of this process
was the discovery of a new method of terracing
the grape furrows for SOT raisin drying.
In lieu of the conventional terrace sloped to
the north (allowing for peak exposure to the sun)
a terrace is now run evenly across down the
center of the row, with two gouged forrows running parrellel alongside.
This raised terrace allows for more efficient
water runoff in case of rain, and a straight
allghnment of the grape trays. The gouged
furrows also provide workers with a place to
walk and stand without iJ!terfering with the
tray alignment.

The Oalcland Raiders battle
cry is "Silver and Black is
going back."
The battle cry in Minnesota
is "this time.for sure."
And after a disastrous 1-5
pre--season, Los Angeles Ram
fans are just plain crying.
What does this all mean?
It. means the Raiders and Vikes
will play fqr all the marbles
in New Orleans come January.
The defending champion Raiders
will "go back" because they have
a much improved defense (three
shutouts in six exhibition games.)
On offense Ken Stabler, Cliff
Branch, John Vella and Dave
Casper don't show any signs
of letting up. But mostimportant
they have depth including the
capable Mike Rae, should Stabler's knees give out •
Oalcland's main challenge in
the AFC West is from explosive
San Diego and Seattle. The Chargers added fieet Johnny Rodgers
and passer James Harris. Seattle
is no longer expansion caliber.
They'll score from anywhere on
the fteld. Denver and Kansas
City will follow right behind.
If anyone has a shot at Oakland
it's Cincinnati- who'll ftnally
shake Pittsburgh in the AFC
Central. The Steelers are stale
after three years at the top
and will tie with unpredictable
Cleveland for second. Dan Pastorin! is doing more harm than
good in Houston. Last place for
sure.
In the East, the Patriots wlll
win a sgueaker with the Colts.
If Pat QB Steve Grogan is running out of the pocket, their
offense will be running up points.
Baltimore needs ·a more balanced
running attack and Bert Jones
doesn't use TE Ray Chester to his
full potential.
Miami is going to field a decent
offense this season but a .500
~howing is the most one can expect. Buffalo and the NY Jets
will bring up the rear. -
NFC
The Rams are up to their
helmets in hot water and being
a Ram fan, I •ve had it with the
QB carousel. The new face in
camp is Joe Namath. Gone are
Harris and budding superstar
Ron Jaworski. This leaves Pat
Haden and newcomer Vince Ferragamo.
The Ram offense as a wbole
is suffering and will do so until
someone other than Chuck Knox
calls the plays. Maybe Namath
is washed up, but if he's going
to play, let him call the shots.
He's one of the best at reading
a defense that I've ever seen.
Now let's clear the air. 11m
tired of hearing how this is the
year of the Bears. This ls the
year of the Bears second place
ftnish. Minnesota on a cake walk
and that's that.
Bud Grant has gone to the
3-4 defense to capitalize on ·the
best linebacldng crew in football.
Along with good special teams
and balanced offense, the end
result will be an unprece,,ten~d
fifth Super Bowl appearance.

Sween~y: 'Dogs mu'st improve'
The Bulldogs will kick off their
50th home opener Saturday night
at Ratcliffe Stadium, hoping that
the costly turnovers last week
wtll not plague them against Boise
State.
·
Kickoff for the first meeting
between the two schools is at
7:30 p.m.
While the Bulldogs are coming
off of a 34-13 loss against Southwestern Louisiana, the Broncos
come to Fresno fresh from a
come-from-behind win over Weber State 19-9. The Broncos
trailed 9-0 at the half.
Bulldog head coach Jim Swe·eney,
who complimented Boise as
having "a tremendous football .
situation," noted that the 'Dogs
will have their work cut out for
them."
"As usual, our opponent will
be bigger than we are. Size and
strength will be in their favor and
speed will be with us. We must
get tougher," he said.
Sweeney said the Broncos are .
as large as San Diego State on the
offensive line, and bigthroughout
their defensive unit.
One thing the Bulldogs will
have to correct will be the fumbling that plagued them against the
Ragin' Cajuns last week. The
'Dogs fumbled 12 times, losing
seven to the Cajuns, who lost
two of their five fumbles.

Dream ·of 'Radio BilingUe'
Becomes Promising Reality
,,.
.
By Elvia Ruiz
A long overdue San Joaquin
Vailey Spanish-English billngual
radio station may be near reality,
if a CSUF group has its way.
In February, La Raza studies
professors formed Radio Billn:.
gue, Inc., a non-profit organization for the development of a bilingual radio station in the valley.
The oganization, composed of
six board members, has been
working on the preliminary
groundwork necessary for obtaining a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license
to start a radio station.
Hugo Morales, La Raza studies
instructor, and spokesman for
the Radio Billngue, feels the San
Joaquin Valley is in need of a
bilingual radio station and suggests Fresno as an ideal base
clty in which to proadcast.
"We feel there is more potential for a billngual station
because of the Chicano population,'' states Morales. He adds,
"There ls a larger concentration
of middle-class Chicanos her~
who will be more iikely to support us.''
Morales also states that in
- Fresno, Radio Billngue, has the
support of La Raza Studies and
the Radio Television department
at CSUF.
According to Morales, progress on the station is developing faster, than he expected.
The organization has already
completed a survey of the Fresno
community which is an FCC regulation. Over 500 random survey calls were completed this
summer to individuals in the
community.
"The purpose of these survey
calls was to find out ,what the
problems of the community are,"
says Morales. ''We also did a
target _survey in which we interviewed Chicanos to find out what
type of programming they would
like to have."
Radio Blllngue also interviewed
leaders of the community to see
how programming will deal with
them.
However, Morales says the station must raise $250,000 for necessary equipment to startoperatlons.
Since February, students and
the board have been organizing
fund-raisers and writing proposals to di!!erent organizations in
an attempt to raise the money.
"Money is a problem," says
Morales, "But once the FCC
approves -us, 1t will be easter to
get money for the radio station
because we co~ld get a license. u
,
Ramircr Jacinto, a junior at
CSUF, agrees with Morales about
the money problem.
Jacinto
stresses that Chicano students at
CSUF should organize and start
a student support group to help
raise funds for the station.
''I think the students should come
out and -help try to form some
stu(lent support club. They are
usually very good about this and
always come out and help," says1
J acinto.
•
The bullc of the programming
will be in Spanish and will be
directed towards the Chicano
community,' but the news broadcasts will be in both Spanish and
English.
,
Morales also states the radio
st~tion will have talk-shows in
which the problems of the community wtll be discussed. Community leaders and other mem~rs of the . community will be
encouraged to voice their opinions on issues affecting Fresno,
he says.
vice of legal counsel preferred not
to comment further.
When a La Voz reporter asked
the CSUF affirmative action coordinator, Lily Small, about the
alleged illegitimate search under
affirmative action guidelines she
responded, "it's .the first I've
heard." She added that she believed Corralejo didn't meet the
qualifications as specified.
Small then said she was not

Brewer Plans Not To
-Molest EOP Institute
.
,
.
,
by Tomas Uribes
A:S. President Bill Brewer,
who once advocated the abolishment 9f the EOP Summer Institute, now says he sees its advan°
tages.
'•There was a bond between
the students," said Brewer last
week of his visit to the two-week
Institute in August. ''I felt they
were there to help each other
help themselves. That surprised me."
At that visit, · in which he
spoke to the incoming CSUF EOP
students during a session on
student government and organi- ·zations, Brewer encountered apprehensiveness on the part of
the students.
·He was asked how he felt
about the Educational Opportunity
Program and resP,Onded that
everyone feels there particular
group should have priority.
He said he intended to have
a newly-formed cabinet evaluate
the program along with all other ·
student funded programs.
However, Brewer's appearance
before the students this summer
has apparently contributed to a
change in his attitude.
''I had felt some programs
were a ripoff, that students were
flung into a situation they weren't
really ready to handle, u he said
last week. ''I felt I was flung
into something like that when I
entered college and many good
people helped me out."
'' That's what I saw in ·EOP,
people helping each other help
themselves. That's exactly what
I got, somebody to help me set
goals, motivate me, and find
direction.",
However, he skirted arouna
the issue of what level of priority the Summer Institute commanded.
"I'm not so naive as to believe
the Sum mer Institute has no
advantage to incoming students, u
he said. ''I don't know much
about the EOP program and the
Summer Institute but I feel 1t
is a concept ln which EOP students have not had the kinds of
advantages other students have,
of all races."
Whatever priority status Brewer

students were preparing to resort
to a demonstra_tlon.
The Institute is a separate
component from the overall EOP
Program, which ts · funded primarily by federal and state taxpayer money. The Institute is one
of many activities funded through

It ts designed to help the in.. ,

Now the CSUF chapter of
United Professors of California
(UPC) has entered the picture.
UPC has backed Corralejo's
nomination with
a resolution
that states they will "support the
restoration of self-determlnization to the La Raza faculty and
urge those responsible at all levels for the program to assist
in this process."
Cisneros explained the reason
for the cut in her position was
due to a "special formula" dictating one secretary to 10 professors. La Raza Studies has
never qualified ltke many other
programs and departments but
other departments still have full
time secretaries.
The budget cut to the School of
Social Science -was the sharpest,
said Luna. The History uepartment, the Urban and Regional
Planning Department, the Ethnic
Studies Program and the Dean,
himself, all lost clerical help as
a result of the budget cut.
But since Clsneros has worked
for CSUF for eight years, she has
tenure. Personnel must find her
full time employment within the
university.
Luna feels this cut is an attempt
by Volpp to force smaller programs and departments to join
with much , larger departments.
Other anonymous sources think it
ts another attempt, in a rash of
many, to do away with m1nor1ty
programs all together.
