bles him to reach new realizations and
discoveries which help him as a cellist. He
said he needs the balance of both activi¬
ties, "I need performance so as not to
stagnate as a teacher."
"Music is first and foremost as a com¬
municative art." said Flaksman. With all
the traveling he does, he said he often feels
like a diplomat and hopes in some small
way he is contributing to a better under¬
standing. Flaksman thinks it is just as
important for diplomats and businessmen
to be able to share a common cultural
interest in order to reach a better interna¬
tional understanding.
Besides teaching cello and chamber
music. Flaksman said he is also teaching
Music 74 and composition. He said he has
won prizes as a composer but hasn't done
much composing in recent year*. At for
teaching Music 74, he is looking forward
to the class because he "stands to (earn
something too."
He said hchas a great appreciation for
jazz and is "definitely not closed" to rock
or country but is going to have to rely on
his students to help him in those areas.
Flaksman said that leaching at CSUF
has also opened up other areas of interest
for him, such as an opportunity for exper¬
imentation in electronic music.
He is enthusiastic over the chance to
perform the complete Bach cello works at
CSUF. "It is going to be my introduction
to the community," he said. He pointed
out the performance is going to be a fund¬
raiser for cello scholarships with an
admission charge to the public but free
admission for students.
He said he is going to play six suites by

experience how Bach's idea develops from     Internationally known cellist Michael

It's the City's Thunder
As much as it might like to, CSUFcan"t
claim responsibility for the installation of
additional lighting on streets surrounding
the university, said Campus Police
Investigator Mike O'Reilly.
The new lights complement an increase
of main-campus lighting, but O'Reilly said
they are being installed on Fresno city
property, not CSUF land and are part o(
the City of Fresno's light extension
program.
"The credit goes to them. It's like Ron
Hicks, head of Plant Operations said, 'we
can\ steal their thunder* " O'Reilly said.
The increase of main-campus lighting
Doc Wells, an Engineering technician
for the City of Fresno, said there is no
special reason for location of the new
lamps. They are just a part of normal city
lighting development and the installation
is not connected to any increase in crime
or citizen complaints.
The lighting program is mandated by the
Public Utilities Commission, explained
Wells. Pacific Gas and Electric installs the
lights for the city, charging only for
materials, not the installation itself.

No red carpet for Joe Bob
AUSTIN, TX (CPS) - Nobody loves a
critic, especially one who regularly pep¬
pers his reviews of slasher flicks and "B"-
grade drive-in movies with ethnic slurs
guaranteed to enrage the censors.
"He's pretty controversial with studen¬
ts," says Steve Bearden. film program
adviser for UT's Texas Union. "Students
were distinctly unhappy and dissatisfied
with the prospect of Briggs appearing on
campus."
Joe Bob, the red-neck, racist alter-ego
of former Dallas Times Herald staff writer
John Bloom, offended nearly everyone
last spring when he wrote a take-off of
USA for Africa's anthem, "We Are the
World' " entitled "We Are the Weird."
The parody labelled "blatantly racist"

John Bloom resigned and sold the Joe
Bob column to United Press Syndicte.

outside facility.
The center, which boasts an auditorium
with complete audio-visual facilities and
an exhibit area, will be available for rent
to outside business organizations.
The Valley Business Center will pro¬
mote interaction between the valley busi¬
ness community and the School of Busi¬
ness and Administration Sciences, explain¬
ed Francois.
Stressing the importance of the build¬
ing's location, Francois said it will be con¬
structed adjacent to the New Science
Building because the ample parking in the
area will make it easily accessible to both
students and the community.
The addition of the center will enable
CSUF to meet the "challenges, needs and
opportunities" of area businesses, from
high-tech firms and small companies to
the large number of valley agribusiness
companies.
The six-story main building will feature
laboratories, offices, a computer projects
room and a word processing center.
The university's Center for Business
Research and Service hopes to double its
programs with the addition of the facility.
