Summer publication to profile faculty
By Karen Krieger
Daily Collegian Managing Editor
Faculty Profiles, the student publication
which outlines courses and critiques pro¬
fessors at CSUF, will be published during
the summer in order to aid incoming
students.
The target area is freshmen and new
students,* said Tom Slocum, Associated
Students Senate member in charge of the
booklet.
'Some feel it (the
questionnaire) is a
threat...'
Faculty Profiles originated as a senior
project of Pete Woodside. a 1981 journalism
graduate. The intent of the publication is
to describe the General Education and
lower division courses, class format, grading
procedure, objectives and summarize student
comments on the teacher and course.
Last year's budget was S3.000, funded
by the AS. Slocum has been budgeted
SI,000 for next fall's issue.
In order to initiate faculty response to
the Faculty Profiles course questionnaire,
Slocum said the individual schools on
campus will be distributing the question¬
naires to the professors.
"A lot of schools aren't organized," Slo¬
cum said. The AS wants the various cam¬
pus clubs to work with the student
government in organizing the informa¬
tion.
'We want to get something going
between the AS and the clubs,* Slocum
said, indicating a need for rapport be¬
tween the different organizations. He said
that the AS and clubs have often competed
for similar projects, and this is a chance
for the groups to work together.
In looking at other campus publications
with a similar theme, Slocum said he
would like to eliminate some of the
"broader* questions.
I'd like to keep it as cut and dry as
possible,* he said. Things like how much
work is involved in the class, what kind of
tests, whether the professor speaks fast or
slow.* Slocum has not yet set a limit on the
number of questions that will be included
in the faculty summary.
Slocum said most instructors are 'pret¬
ty open" toward the questionnaire. *We
expect a good response, about 75 percent,"
he said. "Some feel it (the questionnaire) is

a threat, but that's just the way some ques¬
tions are worded."
The Faculty Profiles booklet could be a
good service to students, Slocum said. "It
would give you less problems with the
teachers.*
The AS is looking for persons to assist
Slocum with the production of the booklet.
"Well be hiring someone about now.
that person would be compiling the
information. What we need is someone to
put the thing together in May, or later this
summer."
The AS is consideringalternative meth¬
ods of distributing the booklet, including
mailing Faculty Profiles to area high
schools. But new students registering by
computer would not be able to obtain the
information in the booklet, which has a
projected publication date of late August.
Slocum is also planning to distribute a
questionnaire on campus in order to
obtain student opinions on what should
be included in Faculty Profiles.

everyone, or the student may not have
even given us a truthful analysis of himself.
"We have the most difficulties in the
spring because often one roommmate will
leave and a new applicant will have to be
put in the room." Wct7Cl said. "Often it is
just the luck of the draw, because of
limited space; but soon they find out that
common interests will bridge the age gap."
The dorms fill up mainly with Mudcnts
new lo the campus. Il provides these
students with a stable focal point from
which to view their surroundings. This
year the dorms have a combinaiion of 37
percent freshmen. 21 percent sopho¬
mores. 28 percent juniors, and 10 percent
seniors. The remaining four percent is
made up of graduate and other sludents.
Although a mandatory two week stabili¬
sing period is required for new roommates
to adjust to each other, when problems
arise a change is possible. It is up to the
students to find someone they feel is more
compatible, than all four parties must
agree to the move before any switches are
authorized.
After students have lived in the dorms
they often will find a roommate to move
off campus with, other times they will opt
to Rush for the Greek way of life. Fra¬
ternity Row, so called by the residents of
San Jose and Millbrook area, is the
location for most of the houses. They offer
students the alternative of small group
living in a closely knit society. It gives
students a social environment and of
course the proximity of the male and
female houses to each other is another
selling point. About 800 CSUF students
arc involved with the system, that recruits
once a year for sororities and twice a year
for fraternities.
Apartment living removes a student
from the structured campus atmosphere
and gives him a place of his own. The
disadvantages to off campus living are the
meal costs and preparation time, and
keeping up with the various bills.
With Ihe Condo conversion of Meadow
Wood still in a legal and economical
tangle, however, apartments near the
campus have plenty of room for students
requesting them.
Which ever option for living the student
ch/>oscs, he is not alone—there is aid
waiting to help him find a shelter,a haven,
a place to call his own.

Skiers know the dream.
You're alone at the top of a mountain; the
sun is shining warmly in a cobalt sky and
miles of white-powdered glory stretch
before ypu. Evergreens punctuate
the challenge—a single thrust and suddenly
you're making tracks down the clean slate.
It» a dream that several CSUF skiers
confess to having, especially toward the
end of November when the skiing season
opens. It becomes a reality that some
experience as many as 40 days of the
season.
'It's got to be one of the most popular
sports." said Del Bern, an 18-year-old
freshman. "Even people who arenl athletic
like to try to ski; they get a buzz off it."
Bern, who taught himself to ski, finds
his outings are controlled by finance.
Expense seems to be the operative word.
Ski resorts in Utah are among his
favorites because cost t here is nearly cut in
half compared to California resort prices.
"Those few dollars make a difference," he
said.*
Skiing has often been heralded as "the
rich man's sport," and for some people,
that suture is part of the attraction.
Not for senior Michele Watson, who
said, 'It's an expensive hobby sports-wise,
but identification isn't important to me."
The 22-year-old marketing major has
been a skiing enthusiast since age 12. She
has recently been working on plans for a
weekend skiing retreat—organized for
students. The jaunt will include a two-day
stay in Tahoe and ski day* at Heavenly
Valley and Kirkwood resorts.
CSUF seems to be a good spawning
ground for skiers. According to Floyd
Judd, adviser for the ski club at CSUF,
membership has increased rapidly since
the club's creation. As many as 80
members pay annual dues (SI 5) and parti¬
cipate in any of the two major and two
semi-major trips. Out of state trips have
included skiing Whistler Mountain in
Canada and Sun Valley in Idaho.
EQUIPMENT
Lift tickets arent the only fee that dip a
hole into skiers' pockets. From bindings
to boots and skis, to suits (dont forget
your Vaurnets) the skier is assualted with
expenses.
Of course, when buying equipment, the
skier has a choice of how much he wants
to spend. Skis start as low as $96 and run
as high as $525 in the Fresno area.
Just ask Bill Brant. All of his equip¬
ment is top of the line. "You get what you
pay for, * the finance major insists. Bern
obviously agrees, his skis are made by
Rossignol, which he said, "is like the
Mercedes of skis." i
"Mine are exactly what I need," said
Shelby Holloway. "Idont buy equipment
to impress other people. 1 buy the. equip¬
ment to do what I need it to do." The.
19-year-old accounting major just added a
brand new pair of skis to her collection.
1 just bought what. decent, what gets
me down the slopes,' said Glenn Medina,
an 18-year-old engineering major. Medi¬
na, who hails from Albuquerque, N. M.,
has yet to experience California slopes.
He hopes someday to ski Tahoe, Yosemite
and Mammoth, but until then, his favorite
spot remains Taos Ski Valley, N. M.
LEARNING
Scott McMillin remembers his first
learning experience. The 18-year-old fresh¬
man was taught to ski by his father at age
8. "1 got mad. 1 kept saying I'd quit," he
said, admitting his family "kind of pushed
me into it." By the age of 10, McMillin
believed he had reached an "adequate abil¬
ity level."
Brant remembers crying the first day.
The 21 -year-old remembers his first group
lesson at North Star at age 8. "It was...it
was...it was a long time ago," he smiled.
Brant is npt a typical skier. In fact, there
are probably very few people who have
been thrown out of Heavenly Valley Ski
Resort for skiing over a restaurant.
Although he has never been hurt in a

equipment rental costs
For the beginning skier, the first few
days out on the slopes are often spent in
confusion. This results not only from
having to learn a new sport, but also from
listening to the advanced skiers speak in
what appears to be their own language.
The following are just a few of the terms
that new skiers will have to learn to cope
with the slope slang:
Alpine—downhill skiing.
Burm—a natural jump formed from
fallen trees.
■ %
Cornice—an overhanging cliff.
Double Diamond trail—the most difficult
rating given to trails.
Gators:—protective snow shields wom on
the leg to keep water out of boots.
Get some air—getting airborne on skis.
Fall line���direction of decline of a slope.
Helring bone—method of side stepping
up a hill.
Hot Dogging-
borne.
-showing off while air¬
lift—transportation to the beginning of
the trail. There are triple and double chair
lifts, trams which hold six to eight people,
and surface lifts including the rope tow
and the tow bar.
Mogul—bumps created by skiers carving
their way through the snow on a steep
incline.
"Neys—sun glasses, short for Vameut, a
popular designer.
Nordle—cross country skiing.
Powder—fresh fine snow with a powdery
texture.
Parallel—when the skis are parallel, close
together and the turns are smooth and
sharp.
Rad—short for radical or radical run.
Side Slipping—one method to get down a
mountain. _,
Snow Bunnies—girls who spend more
time in the lodge than on the slopes.
Snow Plow—method for stopping in
which ski tips point together.
Slalom—weaving between obstacles.
Which rental rates rate best?
Since a large percentage of CSUF skiers
rent their equipment, the Dally Collegian
has composed the following chart to com¬
pare rental costs of five local ski supply
stores. While some stores charge package
deals by the day, others offer special week¬
end rates.
Jack Peironi Ski and Sports' SI 7 pack¬
age deal extends Monday through Friday,
or Friday through Monday. Huebner
Sports-Specialty Shop's fee rents for the
entire weekend. Herb Bauer's Sporting
Goods charges what appears to be the
lowest daily rate—$11.50, or SIS for a
four day weekend. '
Robbin's Mountain Shop was the only
store offering gators (see glossary) in their
package deal. To rent separately Robbin's
charges $2.50. Robbin's also charges 75
cents per day for ski insurance (for
equipment, not bodies.) Other stores
include the insurance price in the package
deal stipulating that mil pieces of broken
skis must be returned.
