Off the cuff
What do you think of John Travolta?
Teresa   Huerta,   graduate   student
going    into    elementary    education:
I think he's a fine dancer in disco
and I like some of his movies I en
|oy waletting him on TV or on the
screen I don I think I have the same
appeal as maybe a 15 year-old, but I
think he' s attracting in his own way
His personality? I think he s got a
pretty good personality
Jose C-rules, professor of history:
I don't think of him one way or
another Yes. I know who he Is, isn't
he "Saturday Night Fever?" He's a
nice young man that's all I can sav
about him
Julie   Wilson    junior   social   welfare
major:  He |ust  seems  like  a  typical
blah. I can t think of the word to de
s<nbe him   He s kind of dumb look
ing   I  think    You know   kind of sad
puppvdog eyes "
Mark Aran, senior Journalism major:
John Travolta is a lag I think what
he's done to the American society is
one of the worst things that the public
at large has accepted him as a kind of
pseudo-hero and it just shows the intellect of the American public and how
they would accept anything I think
it's basically a breakdown of families
the reason why John Travolta is so
popular "
Advice to faculty: Textbooks
If you're teaching an introductory
course, you don't have to do a great
deal ot preparation. (In fad. If you do.
you're liable to receive a lot cf
poor pressure to change your ways)
By now, you ve already selected
your textbook. But, since you may
not have known the proper way to
go about It, here follows a list of
suggestions for next semester, based
upon actual (senior) faculty practice:
-Always choose a book that costs a
greet deal of money, I hereby ensuring
that students will treasure It for years
to come;
-Always order less than two-
thirds of the textbooks needed to
go around, to discover whether your
students are cooperative or competitive;
-Nevw use the same textbook two
semesters In a row, thereby making
sure that students will treasure it for
a long time (since they can't sell It
back to Ihe bookstore;
-Either pick a text written on the
Intellectual level of a Hardy Boys
novel and give tests drawn from
lectures (thus building up your esteem
in the eyes of freshmen), or pick a
text requiring a  horde of   Ph.D. s
six years to decipher (thereby accomplishing the same end)
-Regardless of what text you pick.
always Ignore student complaints
about work load, test unfairness,
etc.. as these only come from students
with less than a 210 I.Q who are
trying   to   play   you   for   a   sucker
There Is a proper way to conduct
a classroom, and an Improper way
The proper way Is with a reed baton.
8 to 12 inches In length, in 4-4 time
The Improper way Is usually referred
to as  the   Academic   Latin   Hustle
The proper way at CSUF follows.
Memorize a number of stock
Jokes...a small number. Even though
you're telling the same Joke for the
fifth lime In as many days—to Ihe same
students—always pretend It's original;
end fresh. When the students' attention strays, pepper your speech
with 4-letter words; this Is always
good for a few nervous giggles In
Classrooms full Of freshmen (or
flounders). Do not overdo this; just
use as many as necessary lo prompt
whispered discussion like, "Did you
hear what he said? He said (4 letter)
right in the classroom I"
When you tire of this act, punctuate your remarks with lecherous
stares at the young men or women
in the classroom. (Note: Because of
the pending Brljgs Initiative, make
sure you're leering at the apposite
sex, even  If you  have to fake H.J
When a student Interrupts your
flowing discourse to ask a question
-Stop whatever you're doing
and stare at the student as If an unpleasant slug Just crawled across
your Mercedes; clear your throat
slowly; In a nasal, patronizing manner, reply:
A) "If you had read the text
you wouldn't need to ask."
B) (To female students only)
"Your Ignorance Is so appealing "
C) (To mate students only) "You
really aren't supposed to use those
ham-elzed    bleeps    for    thinking "
D) (To  attractive  students)   "See
me after class."
E) "This Is an example of cultural syncretism."
Always find one student to make
'he butt of your jokes. When things
get dull In the classroom, ,|rvg|©-
out the one student you know hasn't
the vaguest Idea of what you're talking
about and ask him/her something
about Sana's Interpretation of the
topic under discussion In light of
the concept of cultural  syncretism
One last note on the class structure in the classroom-Always address
your students by their first names;
always Insist that they call you
"Doctor."
-Bruce Seed

Quality remains high
GSUC police departments understaffed
By RANDY RISNER
■>_>c ■ 0n a_e■ i si
CSUF Police Chief William Anderson said last week that all California
State University and Colleges (CSUC)
police departments are tremendously
understaffed. Three other chiefs in
the CSUC system concurred with this
statement
lieves outside help might be required
if a major situation should arise.
Anderson said that even though the
department is understaffed the quality
of officers remains higher than that
of most municipal police departments
Chief John Schorle of CSU San
Francisco stated that his department
is having a rough time coping with the
high crime rate on the campus.
__:_
m
campus Is extremely difficult to police
with the sixteen off icers he is allocated
because of the large number of people
on the 100 acre campus.
'We have to take what we can get
and do the best we can,* said Schorle.
Chief Thomas Smith of Cal Pofy
Pomona said that he is able to maintain minimum coverage on the 1,444-
acre campus only if there are no illnesses or vacations within the department According to Smith, some CSUC
campuses are having problems maintaining complete 24-hour coverage.
Ray Beruk, Chief of Police at CSU
Chico, said that campus police departments are understaffed, but did not
elaborate
According to Norman Lloyd, Coordinator of Public Safety for the
CSUC system, the staffing formula for
campus police departments is based
on the number of students, faculty,
and staff on the campus. No consideration is given to the crime rate of
a campus, he said.
Lloyd stated that an off icer-student
ratio of one officer for every 1,700
students is maintained at most campuses. Lloyd said that as of Oct. 1
there will be 40 new positions for the
CSUC police departments as a result
of apportionment by the state legislature. However, according to Chief.
Smith of Cal Potv Pomona, these
positions are not uniformed personnel

According to Schorle, CSU San
Francisco has one of the highest crime
rates in the CSUC system.
Schorle said that the San Francisco
yarking fines are doubled
Traffic and parking ticket fines
have literally doubled this semester,
but the campus police department Is
not responsible for the decision, says
University Police Chief William
Anderson
Anderson said that the decision to
hike the fines-whkh now vary from
S4 to $25 depending on the violation-came from Fresno's municipal
courts, which raised all city and university "bails" in the wake of proposition 13
Fines from tickets received at
CSUF double if not paid within 20
days, Anderson said.
Also, students will not be able to
renew their driver's liscences or vehicle  registration  with  outstanding
fines, as the Department of Motor
Vehicle will have a record Of all CSUF
police-Issued tickets, said Anderson.

A blend of  Fleetwood Mac and
the Eagles, Folly's Pool plays what
they   call   California   progressive
rock
On campus yesterday, the five
member Fresno group entertained
students with their original songs,
ranging from definite nxk to a more
mellow accoustic sound.
A   well   established   local   group
Folly's Pool,  in   Its  present form,
has  been  around  for a   year  and
a  half  playing   regularly  at   the
Wild Blue Yonder.
The first Folly's Pool was founded In 1973 by Doug Carlson, who
along  with  his  brother  Jeff  has
been   with    the    group    since    its
early days.
It was Doug who came up with the
name of the group which is taken
from Carlos Castaneda's *A Separate
Reality* He explained that at
one point in the book the Yaqui
Indian sorcerer, Don Juan, refers to
every man's destiny or path in life
as folly. Thus Folly's Pool.
in addition to the Carlson brothers, the group is comprised of Jim
Reap on bass, Larry Ohl on lead guitar, and Jeff Bryon on drums.
The members of the group come
from    various    music   backgrounds
including jazz, rock, country, and
classical.
Today the sound of the group
has evolved into what they hope
will someday win them a, recording contract

down, it's a long process to get
a contract,* Doug explained. "The*
want to see your name and know
you can perform. They want a band
that entertains.*
The band prefers to play their
own songs which were first J*****"
by Doug Today each member
of the band contributes to a song
•The  band  works  as  one   per-   p
son.      We   like   to   think   of   ourselves   as   having  our   own   sound   -
that can change with the times,' Doug
commented. .—>'
•We're a bit of everything
five different personalities blending
together,'Jim Reap said. /
Although the band doesn't have
any plans for another album (their
first is available at Tower Records)
they perform whenever they can.
