Sand, sun, surf—and football? This
foursome will combine to mate a week of
fun in the sun become reality for 1,000
Fresno Slate football fans when the 4Dogs
battle it out against the University of
Hawaii's Rainbow Warriors in Honolulu
on October 17,1992.
For the first time ever. Group Transport
Travel, a travel agency based in Provo.-Utab
is making available three round'trip pack¬
ages to Hawaii exclusively for Bulldog fans.
The packages, priced from $795, include
round trip air fare from Fresno to Honolulu,
seven nights accommodations and trans¬
portation from hotels to the Aloha Stadium
here visitors can cheer-on the home team.
G T Travel usually handles transporta¬
tion for only the football team itself, but this
year the agency is taking on a larger clien¬
tele. As in past years, boosters are able to
purchase tickets on the team's chartered
plane, for reduced, group rate fares. Those
who choose to do so however, are only in
Hawaii for three days arriving the day be¬
fore the game and leaving the day after.
"ItVkind of expensive for only three
days. Most people who go want to stay for
about a week," said Business Office secre¬
tary NancyBecker. The chartered plane for
the Hawaii bap, "isn't filling up too fast,"
Becker said. \
Devin Merrill, Account Manager of GT
Travel, confirmed that currently only four
boosters have reserved seats for the char¬
tered plane. This small response prompted
Merrill to initiate the week-long vacation
packages. Merrill is calling this, "the first,
annual trip. It will be a continual thing,''
Merrill said.
As for the FSU Bulldog fans, they are a
dedicated bunch.
According to Becker, booster trips this
year to Oregon State this month and Brigham
Young in October are already full and wait¬
ing lists have been established for both, i
Head football coach, Jim Sweeney said
that strong support from the bleachers boosts
team spirit. •
"It's great to look out there and see all the
red in the stands. They (the fans) are a great
group. They go where we go," Sweeney
said.
Although roughly 1,000 people from the
general public have shown interest, FSU

A $900 million Higher Education Bond
measure passed June 2 allows CSUF to
proceed with minor capital outlay projects
as well as large-scale planning and building
expansion.
Proposition 153, a general obligation
bond targeted for die CSU, UC and commu¬
nity college systems, provides CSUF ap¬
proximately $11.5 million for building,
design and renovation, according to public
information director Jim Miller.
Each CSU campus annually submits a
list of minor capital outlay projects to the
chancellor's office, according to Paul Bis-
sonneite, executive assistant to the presi¬
dent for adm inistration. *
He said the Facilities Planning Depart¬
ment sends a letter to the dean of each
school asking them to submit their priority
projects. _. \
All projects must then be approved by
the campusplanningcommittee before being
sent to the chancellor for prioritization.
He said each campus generally receives
$250,000 per year for these projects.

KFSR still keeps on going despite difficulties

Antiquated equipment and a weak broad¬
casting signal would doom most commer¬
cial radio stations, but at campus station
KFSR 90.7 FM, these problems are part of
the standard operating procedure.
KFSR remains on die air mis year de¬
spite a disabled transmitter and a cut in its
budget, according to station manager
Suzanne Kayian. - '
Kayian, a mass communications gradu¬
ate student, said a lightning strike left the
station's transmitter with just 10 percent of
its power, and a $6,000 budget cut has made

pensive.
"The news and sports departments will
be hurt when the AP contract runs out in a
month," she said.; "We will have to search
for an alternative news source."
This year's $34,TJ00 operating budget
will fund an eight-person, part-time staff
and an FCC-required engineer.
Kayian said KFSR submitted a $200,000
budget with the hope that the station would
receive some new equipment to increase
broadcasting standards.
"Getting the-transmitter fixed is our top
priority," she said. "But we need better
equipment to train the broadcasters of the
future." .
Kayian said KFSR receives 95 percent
of its undcrwriting-a non-profit equivalent
to advertising- from local clubs and bands
in return for on-air promotion.
"We hold benefit concerts in which a
club will waive our fees and we will get a
band to play there for free," she said. "Wc
get 100 percent of the door receipts, and the
club and band get publicity."
The station also docs ticket and product
giveaways and sells T-shirts with the KFSR
logo.
