CSU freezes
cash, allows
exemptions
In cooperation with Gov. George Deuk-
mejian's efforts to offset a state deficit of
$1.5 billion, the California State Univer¬
sity system has ordered a purchasing
The freeze, in effect until June 30, will
affect the purchase of equipment and
office supplies. Other areas included in
the freeze will be personal service con¬
tracts and out-of-state travel expenses.
The chancellor's office has authorized
each campus to issue exemptions, ac¬
cording to Dr. William Coughran, direc¬
tor of Budget Planning and Administra¬
tion at CSUF.
Coughran said the governor did not
order the freeze for the university system,
but rather "asked the system to coopcr-
"Then the chancellor put a similar kind
of freeze on our system," he said. "The
first thing they did was to allow exemp¬
tions. They allowed the hiring of student
assistants and teachers — so we could go
on with the spring semester," he said.
According to Coughran, most of the
equipment necessary to finish the spring
' has already been purchased.

Jazzing it up . ...:..
Three students unite foronething:dancing
Vicki Lincoln was selected to be a
showgirl for Barnum and Bailey's Circus,
but gave it up so that she could get a
college education.
Rene Benavides, a 19 year-old sopho¬
more accounting major, has a music
minor, and plays the clarinet, saxophone
and piano.
Douglas Jamgochian has been dancing
ever since he was six years old and has
never thought of quitting.
These three CSUF underclassmen
have been brought together for one thing:
dance. >
This weekend they will be in the Jazz
Company Dancers "Live" concert in
Fresno, in which they will perform
numbers involving classical jazz and
modern jazz ballet styles set to the music
from ABC's "Fame".
I'd kinda like to do
some stuff in New
York..."
Lincoln, a freshman, has had nine years
of varied dance experiences in ballet, tap
and jazz jstyles. She was a member of
Fresno's Good Company Players, and
has participated in drarna at Fresno High
School.
"I'm a dancer at heart," she explained,
"but I want to expand my talent."
Because of this, she has chosen to be a
theatre major, and hopes someday to be
involved in some CSUF productions.
An attractive, young woman with the
style and grace of a dancer, Lincoln also
faces an uncertain future like her many
peers who have aspirations in the "arts."
"I'd kinda like to do some stuff in New
York...on Broadway," she revealed. "1
had an audition for Barnum and Bailey's
to be a showgirl. I thought it was whar I
wanted, but it would mean a year on the
road, so I turned it down," she said.
Lincoln can envision herself as a movie
actress in Hollywood, but she is realistic
enough to know the odds are slim.
'I don't know if 111 make it 1 might get a
job, in a show or something, and then be
out of work for a long time," she said. "So
' I've decided to get a good college educa¬
tion first."
Her mother has been a good influence
on her life, she said. "Education is impor¬
tant to her...and she's been supportive of
my dancing."
"J sing," Lincoln said, and then, blush¬
ing added, "well, a little."
She is a senior member of the Sever¬
ance School of Ballet in Fresno, as are
Rene and Douglas.
- Benavides has had the least experience
of the three. He began dancing when he
was a junior at Fowler High School. He
will be involved in the numbers "Live,"
"Take Five," "Celebration" and is one
danceT in art all mole performance to "Get
Tap dancing is Benavides' favorite form
of dance, and his first show was "Steppin'
Out" at the Fresno Community Theater.
"This was my chance to wear a white tie
and tails," he said with an enthusiastic
grin.
"That's what I really like," he con¬
tinued, "musicals and dancing like, oh,
Gene Kelley and Fred Astaire."
Unlike Lincoln, Benavides has no ambi¬
tions to make a profession of dance. "I'm
happy in the business department," he
said with a sm3e.
Though he admits dance isn't a major
priority in his life, he said he hopes to get
involved at the community theater level,
after he is out of school.
"I do enjoy dancing," he explained. "I
enjoy expressing myself in dance — and I
like it when the audience smiles."
Benavides was encouraged by his
friend, Jamgochian to take dance lessons.
Also an accounting major at CSUF,
Jamgoohian said he never thought of «uft-
ting dance.  Along with his business
classes at CSUF, he is taking a dance
"Yes, I plan to continue dancing — it's a
big part of my life," he said in a quiet,
humble voice. He revealed his hopes of
"maybe going into some acting, too."
Jamgochian said he felt thatthis week¬
end's concert would be successful. He
said that most of the dances could be
classified as jazz-ballet, beginning with
"the classics," from "around the forties"
and building to the more modern, and
popular dances and music from the tele-
After this weekend, Jamgochian will
begin preparing for another concert, with
the Fresno Ballet Company. He has been
dancing with the troupe for some time,
and has performed "The Nutcracker"
and "Coppelia" with them.
This May, Jamgochian will be part of
the Ballet Company's 10th Annual Spring
Gala.
Jamgochian first became involved in
dancing when a friend of his mother's had
a daughter enroll for tap lessons. His

Officials say valley crops
suffer minimal storm damage
San Joaquin Valley agriculture suffered
only a minimal amount of damage from
the violent Pacific storm which pounded
the California coast last week, according
to farm officials.
During the past two weeks the storm
dropped 3.69 inches of rain in the Fresno
area, raising the totals for January to 5.15
It was the third largest total for January
in history. But the unusually large amount
of rainfall did not cause widespread
damage. jja
"For vines there is noTbmage because
everything is pruned and tied, " said
Kalem Barserian, general manager of the
Raitrn Bargaining Association. "There
was some damage done to fruit and nut
trees but there was no major damage."
Barserian said that the storm mainly set
back work for most farmers and things
should be returning back to normaljnthe
next few days. He said that herWi^g
will be dona in the next few weeks.

ing university Vineyards. The vineyards
near Bullard Avenue were badly flooded,
according to farm officials. The area is
one of the problem areas for CSUF farm
"The only crop we had a real loss in is
oranges, from wind and rain damage,"
said Jim Dilliard, farm supervisor at
CSUF. "The only other loss is in man¬
power. We got behind in a lot of work."
"It came at a time when most of the
trees are in a dormant stage," Duliard
said. "But, now here on campus there are
no major problems."
Dilliard said that the grain fields also
received some damage from the last
storm. He expects a two percent loss in
the grain harvests later this year.
"We also have hoof rot problems on
our sheep," Dsfard said. The horses and
dairy peopk haw also had a lot of prob¬
lems-He said triat a cherracal foot bath is
