We were always assured of getting
two sets of presents at Christmas, two
different turkey dinners on Thanksgiv¬
ing, and two different birthday dinners. •
• Since my parents lived apart.my
sister and I had two rooms.
That saved myself much grief from
my parents, because jf my mom started
ragging me for having a messy room, I
could always tell her that she should see
my immaculate room at my dad's, and
vice versa. This tactic usually meant
that I had.two messy rooms.
So, take that, Mr. Quayle.
By the way, the year my parents
seperated I won my fifth-grade spelling
bee.

fort CSUF's team submitted three projects.
More than $50,000 in cash prizes and
computer software were awarded at the com¬
petition.
The students and faculty in the Industrial
Technology Department initiated a design
for a new and innovative juice extractor
capabfe of competing in the current market.
The team concluded that millions of con¬
sumers are health-conscious and would be
interested in a low-cost, very efficient home
juicer that is easy to use, and it is to these
people that this idea has been developed to
satisfy.
The next project was the Computer-Auto¬
mated Flow System, an example of an appli¬
cation of automation technology to a con¬
tinuous flow process. This automated fluid
flow system simulates those presendy in use
in the chemical, food processing and related
industries.   .
Finally, the Flexible Manufacturing sys¬
tem, a physical model ofthe flexible manu¬
facturing cell that was built as a part of the
automation class, was presented.
/". It consists of FisherTech components as¬
sembled to simulate machines and material
handling devices, computer interface and a
cell controller.
"We-entered because our people had the
determination to win. This is the first year
that we have entered and we felt we had the
people and experience to compete at this
level," said industrial "technology student
Peter Giolacone.
Giolacone said the CAD program used in
the IT project was developed to design the
French Mirage fighter jet.
Westec "93 was sponsored by the Society
of Manufacturing Engineering (SME), ASM
International — the Materials Information
Society, the American Machine Tool Dis¬
tributors' Association (AMTDA) and the
Association for Manufacturing Technology.
Eleven schools entered this year's event,
including Arizona State University, CSU
Chico, CSU Long Beach, CSUF, University
of Quebec and many others. Chico State
took first place and Long Beach took second
in the University Division, where CSUF
took a third.
The Westec CAD/CAM Robotics Chal¬
lenge was held along with the Westec '93,
North America's largest annual machine
tool and manufacturing show.
Participants were able to view 200,000
square feet of exhibits, see 6 million pounds   - -%
of equipment in operation and meet some
600 exhibitors demonstrating leading-edge
technology.

Monthly trips home temporarily
replenish the food supply, but the
quality of the take is poor.
'Take whatever you want honey,"
mom says as you reach into her well-
stocked cabinet:
"Oh, but not that. Your dad has been
v  meaning to cook that for some time
now."
You reach for a new box of Noodle'
Roni, but mom gets that look on her
face again.
"Here, why don't you take these
beets. They're good for you," she says
with a hopeful smile.-
' "Gee, I'd love to mom, but I haven't
finished the turnip soup you gave me
1.
last time," you sWcastically retort.
The stockpile of useless and tasteless
food in some student's apartments rivals
the supply in some, government bomb
shelters.
Top Ramen and frozen pizza are two
food items (at least I think they are) that
•can be bought with the average student
budget.
The allocation is as follows; 20
percent goes to food, 58 percent goes to
beer; 12 percent goes to gasoline, and_
10 percent pays the bills.
That 10 percent is budgeted with
the hope that mom and dad will send a
little extra bill money at the end ofthe
month because they feel guilty for
sending you back to school last time
with ajar of grandma's pickled okra.
Although a lot of students skimp on
necessities such as nutritious food so
they can afford a twelve-pack, the
contents of that twelvewiack often come
back to sap the studentVwallets.
After five or six beers, the stomach
starts growling for something other than
macaroni and cheese.
Denny's is unofficially the official
hangout of drunk college students in
Fresno.
Usually traveling in groups of five,
these students stagger in to the
restaurant not knowing (or caring)
if they can afford what they're about
to order.
The host or hostess forces a smile and .
asks,, "Smoking or non-smoking?"
A sauced student says "yes" and
walks to the room where all the other
drunkatds are giving the poor waitress a
hard time with "Lenny's" jokes.
When the bill comes, some groups
bolt for the door while others scrounge
together their life savings and pay for
the French toast with a side of mozza-
rella sticks. .   »
Maybe the turnip soup will be eaten
after all.
