CSUF rodeo revives Old West
By Maryann Milligan
StaffWriter
Every autumn, a small but enthu¬
siastic crowd assembles to water) the
CSUF Rodeo Club compete in a
traditionally Western sport
The yearly National Intercollegiate
Rodeo Association event took place
Saturday and Sunday at the Clovis
Rodeo grounds, despite the over¬
cast sky and occasional drizzle that
threatened to halt the event
"We kept going," said Renee
Rianda, president of the Rodeo Club.
"We don't stop—rain or shine!"
The event lasted from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Saturday, and narrowed the
list of contestants for the finals,
which took place on Sunday.
Rianda estimated 100 contestants
and 50 spectators took part in the
rodeo.
Of the 10 colleges in the West
Coast Region of the NIRA, all were
represented. Included were: CSUF;,
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo; the Uni¬
versity of Nevada, Reno; West Hills,
Coalinga; Hartnell, Salinas; Merced
JC, Merced; Cuesta College, San Luis;
Lassen College, Susanville; and
Modesto JC, Modesto.
"But it's open to any school," said
Rianda. "Even if you don't have a
club on campus, you still can rodeo
and be a member of the NIRA." *
The events consisted of breakaway,
roping, goat-tying and barrel-racing
for the wpmen. The men's events
were steer-wrestling, team roping,
calf-roping, bareback riding, saddTe-
bronc riding, and bull-riding.
Tom Nunn from Lassen College is
a aaddle-bronc rider who is following
in the family tradition by riding in
rodeos.
"Actually, I'njnotarider," he Joked.
"I only get on them and I'm not smart
enough to be a roperf'
Nunn has been participating for
seven years, and is starting his fourth
year in the NIRA circuit
He described the thoughts going
through his mind when he is on a
bronc.

you're moving your feet and turning
your toes out That's what's going

With- the band playing the gentle
strains of "America the Beautiful" and
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic," roll
was called for the 379 residents of the
Central Valley killed in the Vietnam
War.
Sunday's memorial service in Roed-
ing Park was the second in a schedule of
events surrounding the Vietnam Veter¬
an's Memorial "Moving Wall" that will
culminate, with a candlelight vigil on
Wednesday, Nov. 4. The Moving Wall, a
half-scale replica of the memorial in
Washington, D.C. lists the names of the
58,022 men and women known to have
died in the war in Southeast Asia be¬
tween 1959 and 1975.
"We wanted to keep it simple. We
didn't want any politics in it" said Pete
Galvan, Commander of the Vietnatfk
Veterans Association, one of the orga¬
nizations that worked ip conjunction
with KFTV Channel 21 and the Chicano-
Latino Studies Department at CSUF to
bring The Moving Wall to Fresno.
For some, the wall is a recreation of
the Vietnam experience. Former city
councilman, Lionel Alvarado, said the
rains ,of this past week brought back
many of his experiences in Vietnam. "It
used to rain for days. It'd rain so hard
that you could only hope the next day
. would give you sunshine," Alvarado told
the friends and relatives of those on
hand to honor the dead.
•^ Alvarado added, "I remember when
the first rains came to Fresno that it w
appropriate that the rain has come.
Because after each rain, it cleanses the
air. Hopefully, today will be a cleansing
experience."
Chaplain Al Barr told the crowd of a
hunting party he was on that killed two
Viet Cong, "One was married. He had
pictures of-his family in his pockets. One
was like me, 19 years old." Barr said the
images of the days and nights in the
jungles of Vietnam still come back,

REVIEW

They started pouring in around 8
pjn.: a female dracula, the wolftnan in
jackboots and an Airborne Ranger/ '
DArtagnan was there talking 1pith Al
Capons.
An Egyptian princess slinked in on the
arm of a Catholic Bishop.
Devils and angels, cops and outlaws
all queued a Finn McCoul's for what
was definitely the hottest show of the
year.
The KFSR Fifth Anniversary Hallo¬
ween Bash started out strong and just
kept growing.
By the time Manual Scan took the
stage to start the show, there were
already 200 people in the hall dancing
under the bla£k and orange decorations.
- The boys from San Diego were in fine
form, snapping off some of their better
know songs from their debut record, ,
"Manual Scan I,"
But they didn't let it go there. When
vocalist Bart Mendoza shouted to the
audience, "Well c\o anything to make
you happy," bass player Ron Friedman *
layed down some hard licks and Kevin
Ring turned up his lead guitar. Out
came a respectable rendition of "Step¬
ping Stone."
They tossed in some old "Jackson 5"
for bad measure, and left the stage with
all the ghouls smiling. k„ ,- '
After a brief intermission (which
found me in the bar sipping stout with a
sheik and a man wrapped entirely in
plastic packing bubbles) the Miss Alans <
