Grant will shed light on students
BY JEFF PENNISI
StaffVtrittr
Some labs on campus require students to spend long
hours working in the darkness. One of tbem is photo¬
graphy and another is phctogrammciry. the study of aeri¬
al photographs to be made into maps.
This environment will never change for photo¬
graphers but, because of a $51,000 grant to CSUF by
the National Science Foundation (NSF), state of the an
equipment will be purchased that will make it possible
for phoiogramrneiry students to work in the light.
This of course is only one small advantage to the new
equipment. With the new computer-aided mapping
equipment, functions that used to take six hours will
now take only five minutes "The equipment that we (cur¬
rently) have is about 20 to 30 years old," said Dr. Riadh
Munjy professor of civil and surveying engineering.
Munjy filed an application for $31,000 to the NSF
last year in hopes of being awarded pan of the purchase
price of the equipment. The NSF awards money to uni¬
versities throughout the nation fa a variety of projects.
The one Munjy applied for was the instrumentation and
laboratory improvement program. Money from this pro¬
gram is awarded to be spent on upgrading labs.
Some of the requirements for the grant is that the
equipment be used by a large number of undergraduates
and supported by faculty. And, the university must also
match what the NSF awards. Munjy thus has $102,000
to purchase an analytical stereo plotter.
The plotter usually costs between $150,000 to
S500.000 but a Swiss firm is lowering its price from
$145,000 to $102,000 because CSUF is an educational
institution, making it possible to buy the equipment.
"The budget for the entire department is only about
$20,000," said Munjy. "There was just no way we could
afford to purchase it without going to outside sources,"

Five CSUF photojournalism students
participate in Eddie Adams Workshop

The sound of clicking camera shutters
and whirring motor-drives filled the air
as the best of the nation's photojournal¬
ism students, including five from
CSUF, invaded the countryside near Jef¬
ferson villc, N.Y., to shoot film for one
of the most prestigious photography,
workshops in the country.
The five photographers from CSUFs
photojournalism school out of the 100
plxxographers invited to attend the Eddie
Adams Workshop were: Kurt Hegre,
Mark Mirko, Akemi Miyama, Tony 01-
mos and Lane Turner.
The students sent in their portfolios
to be considered for the workshop,
which is headed by Pulitzer Prize-win¬
ning photographer Eddie Adams.
One hundred participants were selected
out of 600 applicants from across the
nation to go to The Farm," Adams'
home in New York, to attend seminars
and compare notes with the country's
top photographers. .
"I was. really surprised [I was
chosen]," said Kurt Hegre, who was last
semester's photo editor for the Daily Col¬
legian ." I didn't think I had a chance."
The students were divided into 10
teams of 10 photographers and assigned
a specific theme to shoot, such as "Life
on the River," "Gathering Places" or
"Resort Hotels."
The teams were then set loose in the
town and the surrounding area to photo¬
graph the land and people for two days.
Hegre's team, led by Karen
Mullarkey. picture editor of Newsweer
magazine, and David Alan Harvey,
photographer for National Geographic
magazine, was assigned to cover- resort
hotels. Hegre said that they "worked
from dawn to midnight" at a nearby re¬
sort, which covered an area the size of
the CSUF campus, to cover every pos¬
sible aspect of life at the resort.
Mark Mirko, the current photo editor
for the Daily Collegian , said he was
"amazed" when he found out he was in¬
vited to attend the conference.
Mirko's team was headed by Sam
Garcia, a market representative for Nikon
who has been a photographer for five of
the internationally acclaimed "Day in the
Life" books and Bert Fox, who is picture
editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday
