There's no longer a problem with
nauseous fomes in, the CSUF library,

csDordinator. Mysterious fumes were

"It haan'tbeen resolved, but there are
no more problems over there. We don't
know what caused it; Cal-OSHA came
out and took some samples," Roddy
said.
Though it remains to be seen what
caused the fumes, Roddy did say he had
"It looks like the mineral oil that
we've got (used to coat the filters with
an oily surface ao thit any dust in the air
wiD be trapped) is not mineral oil,*
Roddy said. "But that's just my specul¬
ation."
A spokesman for the OSHA Industrial
Health office in Sacramento aaid that
it will probably be another two to three
weeks before the results of tests on sam¬
ples taken two weeks ago are known.
"In the iiahaiiHiiui. there ara no more

Placement Center aids students
■    by Tom Br-son   -
' The CSUF Career Pl_—ing and Piece¬
ment Center helped place 862 graduates
into full time positions in 1979, according
to a report issued by the center.
Over 2,280 students were helped to
find part-time, temporary, and summer
jobs during 1878-79 by the center, which
ia under the direction of Dr. Harold
Jones.
During the same period, 323 of the
graduates who found full time employ¬
ment were placed in education or educa¬
tion-related jobs.
The remaining 629 were placed in
various jobs related to business, govern¬
ment, or industry.
The center does not. limit its job-
seeking activities to those who have just
graduated, however. CSUF alumni were
also aided, with 601 finding new posi¬
tions through the center, 406 of these in
education, 196 in business, industry, or
government.
"Nineteen seventy nine represented
the best year for placement of teachers
since 1970, "the report said. Areas which
showed specific strength in the job
market were educational areas relating
■to the I—ltmcspped. such as CO——«—_#■
tion, learning, psychology, snd various
subjects.
The report attributed the center's
success in placing students in raafhmg
positions to the large number of retire¬
ments, particularly in the Los Angeles
area. It said that unless more people ara
encouraged to seek careers in education,
a k-12 teacher shortage is a real possi¬
bility over the next ten years.
In the areas of business, industry,
and government, the report said there
was a strong demand for graduates with
degrees in accounting, business admini¬
stration, engineer—g, health science,
home economics, industrial technology,
mathematics, nursing and microbiology
at the local level.
The highest average salary reported
for a bachelor's degree was (1,402 per
month.

What do Avon- ladies, Fuller Brush
men. Prudential Insurance represent¬
atives snd coaches have in common ?
Coaches are heavily involved in the
primary business of the'Other three-
selling. What they sell is a" bit larger and
has a greater impact on a person's life
that a tube of lipstick or a hairbrush. A
coach's "merchandise" is the university,
a sports program and himself. The buyer
is the prospective student athlete—the
recruit.
"If nobody had to recruit it would be
great,* ssid Dr. Robert Van Galder,
assistant athletic director at CSUF.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. In
fact, with the recent recruiting violations
st the University of New Mexico and
. Arizona State, conference officials have
been zeroing in on the individual schools
checking and re-checking recruiting
procedure.
Some 11 pages in the NCAA Manual
are concerned with recruit—g, and
recent amendments to bylaws are
generously sprinkled throughout the
text. The basic rules of recruiting seem
simple. For example, coaches are
allowed three initial contacts at the
student's residence. However, the
manual goes into depth explaining exact¬
ly what a student's residence is—each
bylaw is carefully defined. Even more
intricate is the Manual casebook—100
pages of questions, answers and cases
concerning NCAA bylaws.
Interestingly enough, the term
"recruiting* doesn't apply to women —
the expression' is 'talent assessment.'
But whether* recruitment or talent
assessment most schools subscribe to
the National letter of Intent. Once a
recruit signs that letter for a particular
i school, there is no limit to numbers of
contacts between the athlete and the

school. The pressure on the athlete-to
choose a school is tremendous. From the
time he or she becomes a senior, the'
high school stude nt is besieged by
letters and telephone calls. "If a kid
knows where he's going, people get off
his back* Van Galder said.
Recruiting wasn't fun in the '60s and
'70s,' Van Galder recalled. "Die athlete
had bis palm up —always an ulterior
. motive.* The 1960s may see improve¬
ment with the NCAA crackdown, but
violations seem to be rampant. In any
case, the basic selling points are still
there.
'The most important tiling Is an
education,* head basketball coach Boyd
Grant emphasized; "80 to 90 percent of
the kids should be get—rig degrees.* Del
Wight, assistant football coat—, agreed.
'Good academics sre. important to
parents and kids.*
Women's volleyball coach Leilani
Overstreet ssid many tunes the parents
sre 'sold* on the university before the
athleth. 'A lot of parents want their kids
out of the fast-paced Bay and L.A.
areas,* she said. Wight remarked that
it's 'usually the mother or girlfriend who
has the influence, not the father.*
' The big problem, according to Over-
street, is getting the students to come to
CSUF in the first place. 'Kids from the
Bsy area and Southern California think
Fresno is a 'hick' town. But once they
get here, they notice the friendly atmo¬
sphere and the facilities,* she said..
One of the biggest draws is the
success of a program. 'Good teams play
good tournaments,* Bulldog golf coach
Mike Watney said. 'Our schedule this
year is outstanding." Boyd Grant has
brought the basketball team to new
heights since bis arrival three years ago.
'We have the second best following in
attendance in California," he ssid. Coach
Overstreet's volleyball team filled the
women's gym all last fall.
Coaches are the key to the program
and their personalities are an integral
part of recruiting. With the return of Jim
Sweeney to Fresno, Wight sees the best
for football recruiting. 'No man is better
• one-on-one in the home,' he said. In
basketball Jim Thrash is the talent scout
for Grant, and the easy-going native of
Illinois recently recruited four stars from
the Chicago area and two prize big men
from Careen, California.
The new 30,000 seat stadium will be a
big attraction for incoming athletes, and
