Many local students apply for FBI
A staffing assistant for the FBI was on
the CSUF campus Wednesday looking
for applicants who are outgoing, out¬
spoken and who can associate with other
Cathi Krause, who is in charge of
recruiting for the Sacramento Division,
said the FBI seeks recruits on major col¬
lege campuses because one of the qualifi¬
cations fora special agent job is "at least a
four-year degree."
She said applicants must also be at least
23. but not over 35, be available for
assignments anywhere in the U nited States,
be a U.S. citizen with a valid driver's
"excellent physical
) Krause, if the basic
condition."
According
quirements are met, then a preliminary
application form is filed. The applicant
must then pass a test before going on to an
interview. After the interview, a back¬
ground investigation is conducted and, "if
all goes favorably there,"a medical physi¬
cal follows with a possible appointment to
the bureau's academy in QuanticO-Va.
Krause said the academy has a 15-week
training sestion that is "very stringent."
The program contains "a little of every¬
thing; academics, firearms, self-defense
tactics and physical fitness,"she said. "It's
a tough academy."
Krause said there are five special agent
entry programs: law, accounting, language,
engineering/ science and diversified.
The emphasis is "really on engineers
becaute the FBI is going into computers
now and we need engineers to design and
put those computers in for us," the taid.
Krause said the'sees no common train
or types of applicants. "They come from
all walks of life." She said they "turprit-
ingly"gct many applications from CSUF.
The advantage of working for the
bureau, said Krause, is a starting pay of
approximately $30,000, the opportunity
to travel, and good advancement oppor-
She said the disadvantage is working
long hours, especially if you're out on a
surveillance, and being out of town away
from your family. "But that happens so
rarely, its really kind of hard to say it's
even a disadvantage."
Krause said she's been with the bureau
for 18 yean and the likes the opportunity
to get out of the office and meet people.
She said the thinkt the FBI has a good
image. "I think we Ye known at one of the
top echelon law enforcement agencies in
the world."
Tbe FBI, originally founded in 1908 as
the Bureau of Invettigation, serves as the
"investigative arm of the United States
Department of Justice."
"Our primary function is investigating
federal crimes," taid Kraute. She taid the
current emphasis is "mainly dn white col-
Black 'experience' to go on stage
CSUF is well known
theater productions, ar
another unique theatrical experience will
appear on campus. Dr. James Rogers of
the Ethnic Studies Program has put
together a Black Theater and Talent
Showcase which will premier April 20 at
the Satellite College Union.
Rogers hopes to accomplish three
objectives with this production. He said
the theater will create an opportunity for
the works of black playwrights to be pres¬
ented to the public, identify and create
talent, and communicate the black expe¬
rience to Fresnans.
"1 want to exphasize that this theater
will actively involve all students regardless '
of race or experience," said Rogers, who
has been involved in theater for 20 years.
"This is a chance for black performers to
display their talents and will include other
students who might not have a chance in
Already the theater has sparked off-
campus interest. The Cultural Arts Advi-
quality    sory Committee of Fresno has granted the
"The theater experience
helps to break down ste¬
reotypes and create under¬
standing. We have to do
this type of thing to pro¬
mote understanding be¬
tween young people of all
cultures if we want to
change the future."

program S2.J00 in financial assistance.
Rogers said if the community response is
good, the theater group will perform for
various organizations and for fund-raiting
purposes.
Even with the financial backing, the
success of the new theater will depend on
student response. Tracey Bernard, editor
of the Uhuru, will be representing the stu¬
dent perspective as the general manager of
the Black Theater and Talent Showcase.
Bernard will be promoting involvement
among students and helping with the
selection of performers.
"I got involved because I feel that it is
important. There are a lot of students on
this campus who are afraid to go to the
theater arts department, take the classes
and become drama majors. They know
that they will not be producing plays that
deal with minorities," said Bernard.
Rogers and Bernard agree that there are
plenty of minority itudentt with talent
who do not audition because of fear they
will be rumed away. Bernard said the"
black theater will give these students a
chance to feel comfortable.
"We are going to encourage people. If
they feel like they want to do something
go ahead. Well structure it so they feel
good about themselves," said Bernard.
Virtually all aspects of theater will be
represented in the production. Performers
will play out skits in drama and comedy,
and the talents of dancers and singers will
be presented as well.
Associated Student Senator and Pan
Afrikan Union President Greg Barfield
has been lobbying the AS Senate for mon-
itary support, Barfield said he felt there is
a need for this kind of theater on campus.
All students could benefit from the expo¬
sure to theater from the black perspective,
Barfield wat joined in his concern by a
student of another generation, 64-year-
old Klent El*Woodt, a telf-professed "old
man for young folks."
"The arts of all cultures are essential.
The theater-experience helps to break
down stereotypes and create understand¬
ing. We have to do this type of thing to
promote understanding between young
people of all cultures if we want to change
the future," said El*Woods.
