BY BARRY GROVE
Sews Editor
George Bush, Republican presidential nomine*, told
1,500 cheering red wavers "If I can win the state of Calif¬
ornia I can be president," Saturday afternoon at Beiden
Field.
Beiden Field was the last stop for the vice president on
a six-city bus tour of the San Joaquin Valley, which
started in Stockton, rolling through Ripon, Modesto,
Merced, Madera and ending in Fresno.
"This is the fanciest tailgate party I've ever seen,"
Bush said as the electric scoreboard welcomed him and
I
his wife Barbara and football fans waved red and blue
pom poms. Free hot dogs and sodas were served before
Bush arrived.
Fancy was also the word for Bush's entrance. Preceded
by six flashing highway patrol cars and followed by a car¬
avan of six buses, the vice president's bus drove over the
grass baseball diamond directly to the stage in center
field as Bush himself, his shirt sleeves rolled above his
elbows, waved to the crowd.
Bush used the opportunity of a partisan crowd to
knock his competitor Michael Dukakis, the Democratic
nominee. "We are stronger now than we wert; eight years
he said as an oversized American flag flapped in
the wind. "We cannot gamble-otfaliberal governor who
wants lo take us the other way."
Bush was introduced by'karate champion and actor
Chuck Norris and joined onstage by Governor George
Dcukmejian and his wife Gloria; Mike Love and Bruce
Johnston of the Beach Boys; Secretory of Agriculture
Richard Lyng and Jeb Bush, son of the vice president and
his wife Columba.
Norris apologized to the crowd for being late during
his introduction and said he supported Bush because, like
in karate, he emphasized "peace through strength."
"I'm not going to be outhustlcd by the bad Duke,"
Bush said drawing a disiinuon between Dcukmejian and
Dukakis. "If you do your part and work the polls 1 be¬
lieve I will be president. And I'll work hard not to let

Job fair attracts students
BY JEFT PENNISI
Staff Writer
Almost 90 companies and organizat¬
ions were represented Friday at CSUF as
part of the annual Career Center-spon¬
sored job fair, the largest in its history.
The four-hour event, which took place
on the University Student Union balcony,
is estimated to have attracted between 200
and 500 students in the largest turnout
since it began, in 1980.
Organisations ranging from Aetna In¬
surance to Valley Children's Hospital had
representives with tables of brochures.
The event was more a career day than a
job fair, said Aleta Walkowiak, a job
developer/career counselor who was in
charge of the projecL
Students were not filling out applicat¬
ions as much at getting information
about specific companies and organizat¬
ions she said.
"This is a tool, a good way of getting
information about different jobs," said
Walkowiak.
"I've talked to Dow Chemicals and
Hughes Aircraft Company for infor¬
mation," said Nancy Darakjian, a biology
major who is minoring in chemistry.
They are looking mainly for engineers
and business people, but I did
get addresses to write to for further infor-
mauon in many areas of inieresL"
Job fairs are good ways for students to
interview companies instead of the other
way around, said John Taylor, San Jose
project manager for Frito-Lay, Inc.
Every organization that recruits on cam¬
pus is asked to attend and over the years a
mailing list has been created, said Walk¬
owiak. In the beginning there were only
SO to 60 organizations participating. Next
year's fair is expected to attract more than
120 organizations.
"A lot of students wait until they grad¬
uate before they begin looking for a job,"
said Ellen Johns, district manager for K-
Mart apparel. Then they often have to use
an employment agency which can cost 10
to }5 percent of their first year's salary,
said Johns, who said the job fair is very
good for both students and companies.
"We have been very successful here,"
said Johns.
This job fair is a perfect way for us to
let people know about our company,"
said Stacy Howard, a 1984 graduate of
CSUF, who was representing a glass man-
u facto ring firm, at the fair.
"We have had a lot of people come by
and ask questions," Howard said. "Wc
come here every year."
This is our first year," said Becky De-
Wing, personnel administration specialist
for Farmers Insurance Group. "But wc did
go to a job fair at CSU Stanislaus, and it
was nothing like this," said DeWing.
"People usually just walk by when
they see insurance but today we have had
a lot of people come by and ask quest¬
ions." DeWing said. "We have had 35-40
people come by. I'm really hoping that
