student body with more information about
CSUF, according to Doug Thornburg,
jj thc station's public affairs director. g
KFSR's Sunday public affairs program*1''
"Focus" recently went from one hour to
two hours to allow campus clubs and
groups more time for individual presenta¬
tions, Thornburg said. >.
"The campus goings-on are jus) not
well publicized in the community, and I
see a real potential at KFSR to be more of '
a voice on the airwaves for California
State University, Fresno,"Thornburgsaid.
"We would like to be an alternative
source of information as well as an
alternative source of music on campus,"
he saw. "The primary focus of our station
should be music, but as long as I'm in
charge of public affairs and can put
together a quality program, I'm going to
keep working for thc information side."
K FS R is inviting campus clubs or groups
to contribute a hall hour of programming
to its show, which airs Sundays from 12 to
2 p.m.
The half-hour block of time can" be
applied for by all campus organizations
and groups. The format of the program

Few people outside CSUF's School of
Agriculture have heard of the Center for
Irrigation Technology, but agriculture
specialists around the world are familiar
with its work said Dr. Kenneth Solpmon.
the center's director.
Solomon said CIT has a visiting scientist
from Israel working there and students
from Egypt, Taiwan and Japan have done
research at its facilities. He said the World
Bank once paid for some Pakistani
students' trip to see the center.
Dr. Gideon Oron. a visiting scientist
from Israel's Ben Guriori University, said
in many ways CIT is better equipped than
thc facility he works at, especially in the
area of computers. He said CIT "is begin¬
ning to be well known in the mafia of
water engineers."
As director of CIT, Solomon spends
much of his time traveling abroad speaking
at seminars and for professional organ¬
izations. He has spoken in Korea and
Taiwan and he has been invited to speak
in Mexico and Spain. But he said most of
his speeches are in California.
Solomon said CIT is part of the school
of Agriculture and it receives two-thirds
of its $290,000 budget from the California
Agricultural Technology Institute. Terri
Gagne. the office manager at CAT I, said
CIT is one of the largest receivers djtrfts
funds. .

Medieval fair captures past
By George Kostyrko
Staff Writer
While most students spent last weekend
catching up on homework or laying in j he
sun, CSUF students' Joe Perrotta and
Neva Gonsoulin sweltered under layers of
Medieval-period clothing in Hanford's
Civic Center Park.
The two students are members of a
group called The Society for Creative
Anachronisms, one of several invited by
the city of Hanford to participate in this
year's Renaissance of Kings Cultural Arts
Faire.
Perrotta was one of several Knights out
on the Grand Tournament Field Sunday,
jousting and clanging for the huge throng
that gathered around the roped-off per¬
imeter.
Perrotta, 24, who made his own armor,
said although "thc armor becomes a second
skin after a while," he still feels like drink¬
ing large amounts of liquid after shedding
the 80-pound leather and steel outfit.
"The worst injury I've even gotten was a
bruise," he said. Perrotta wields a padded
sledgehammer when he jousts with otherJL
knights.
For Gonsoulin, 20, a history major, this
year's fair was an excuse to dress up and
have fun. /
"I came here to sit And look pretty,"she
said. "I'm not doing anything but being a
spectator."
About eight or nine CSUF students
participated in the festival, said Rhonda
Fuller, a Business major and a member of
The Society for Anachronisms.
"We arc an organization that recreates
the middle ages as they really were," she
said. "We make our own costumes and
jewelry. We all do this in our spare time."
She said the students are primarily
involved in the jousting or "Melee" dem¬
onstrations. Melee is when there are more
than two knights combatting with swords
or other objects like clubs, sticks and
spears.
According to Kathy Gregory, director _
of the Hanford Recreation Department,
two hundred people from various groups
were invited to the ninth annual event.
"A lot of the dressed-up people are from
the Big Fair in Novate" she said.
Novato, in Marin County, is the site of
the first Renaissance fair in California.
She said more than 67 crafts booths and
14 food and games booths paid a SS0 fee
to participate in the fair — the largest
number in the history of the faire.
"Both the fees and donations from local
businesses and organisations paid for the
printing, advertising and entertainment
costs of the fair," she said. "Our enter¬
tainment budget was over $1500."
Eighteen groups and individuals offered
a variety of entertainment over the two-
day festival, she said. All throughout
Sunday, the sound of recorders, bagpipes,
and the royal trumpets wafted through the
air. The royal trumpets heralded the
aroval of the King and Queen
