The CSUF women cagers opened
their 19713-79 season on the road, parti
cipating in the Cal Poly San Luis
Obispo Invitational Tournament The
tournament featured teams from Pep-
perdine, Cal SUte Northridge. USC
the Cal PVIy Mustangs, and teams from
other CSUC universities
I he Bulldogs were routed in the first
round of the tourney by a strong Cal
Poly Pomona team, 93-51 Connie
Cooch led the CSUF scorers with 16
points   She also pulled down   11   re
Against Cal State Northridge, the
Bulldogs were defeated 74-63. despite
24 points and 13 rebounds by Cooch
Coach Donna Pickel cited the Dogs
lack of team play for their poor showing
in the tournament
'No one was moving at the right
place at the right time,' Pickel said
Coach Pickel s words didn't fall on
deaf ears as the Bulldogs took to the
court at the Stanislaus Invitational on
December 1 and 2   The tournament
should have been renamed the "Connie
Cooch Show' as the 5'IV center
almost single-handedly defeated all
three CSUF opponents
In the tourney opener, Cooch poured
■n 22 points and collected 16 rebounds
as the Dogs crunched host Cal State
Stanislaus 99 13 (that's no typo
99-13!) The 99 points set a new CSUF
women' s scoring record surpassing the
old mark of 94 set against Cal Poly SLO
in 1976
While Cooch put on a great individu¬
al performance, the CSUF victory was
a total team effort. Other CSUF players
scoring in double figures were Louise
Tonascia 16, Pam Hariel 15, Karen
Harper 14, Linda Johnson 10, and
Vernie Miller collected 10
The new Bulldog scoring record
didn't last long as the women cagers
topped that mark in the next round as
they romped past St. Mary's 103-36
Louise Tonascia led all scorers with
27 followed by Cooch who collected 26.
Karen Harper also scored in double
figures scoring 14
In the championship game U C
Davis put up more of a fight than the
first two opponents but they were never
really ,n the game as CSUF held a 40-18
bulge at the half The second half was
merely a formality as the Bulldogs
claimed the tournament championship
Connie Cooch, the tournament MVP,
scored 16 points and gathered 10 re^
hounds Louise Tonascia led all scorers
with 19, and Pam Harriet who joined
Cooch  on   the  all   tournament  team
The three game sweep in this tourna-
3-2. The women eager* are on the road
for two contests this week. On Dec 7
they will take on riiyward State and
Cal Poly SLO will host the Bulldogs
on Dec. 9. The first home game for the
'Dogs will be against Hayward State
at 6p m in the women's gym.

Changes name and image
Discovery Center lacks money, support
By BARBARA DETERS
Over the wave of Proposition 13 cut¬
backs, a cry for help can be heard in
the Fresno area
Like  government  funded  agencies
that are feeling the pinch of tight bud¬
gets , Fresno' s Discovery Center is also '
cinching   its   belt    The   center   has
already released four of its six-member
But unlike other government funded
agencies, the Discovery Center, located
at 1944 N Winery, has one additional
problem
Not enough people really care or
even know about the Discovery Center.
And, because of that, it may not sur¬
vive the post-Proposition 13 scramble
for funds.
The Discovery Center has been
defined as a "place totexperience
science   through   perso<^_ partkipa-
Originally the Fresno Museum of
Natural History, the Discovery Cen¬
ter s name was changed a little over a
year ago when its director, Lee Finner-
an, and several other members in¬
volved realized that an expansion was
needed for the center rf it was to be of
benefit to ihe community
The center, which encompasses five
and a half acres, does receive some city
and county funds, but tremendous
support and participation Irom the
) unior League of Fresno also helps this
TV for movie buffs
relatively       replica
The writer's needs are many. But
at the tip of the list of needs, there is
a plea for more public acknowledge-
"I see Fresno as a large growing
community,' said Read Masson.
'When I think about what it has to
offer  in  cultural
nothing.*
Masson is a CSUF speech arts stu¬
dent who became involved with the
Discovery Center as a result of a speech
class he is currently enrolled in.
When he was assigned to do a per¬
suasive speech for class, Masson went
out looking in the Fresno area for some¬
thing to get excited about-something
that he, in turn, could get other people
excited about.
Although it began as an assignment
for class, Masson has now found a
cause in which to donate his time and
efforts.
For the past four months, he has
been helping out at the Discovery
Center with all sorts of jobs that need to
be done and. singing the center's
praises to anybody who shows even the
slightest interest in the cultural arts.
The Fresnq Museum of Natural
History was fifst opened 25 years ago.
And, up until about a year ago, no new
exhibits had been added. It remained
unchanged.
'It was viewed as something not
really desireable because it catered to
a small portion of the community,*
said Masson.
'It was your basic 1956 natural
history museum,' said Bill Finneran,
Lee Finneran's son who also works at
the Discovery Center.
The museum contained many Indian
displays, including collections of old
Indian woven baskets, a full mortar
and   pestle   exhibit,   marry   stuffed
many real animals native to the valley
Today, the Discovery Center is in
the process of changing not only their
image, but their exhibits.
Although the Disovery Center kept
all of the exhibits from the Museum
except the live animals (which they
gave to the zoo), they have added
science to the philosophy of the center.
They now have, among other things,
two telescopes for star-gazers, a
bicycle which computes how many
calories are burned off per minute, and
a tree with light bulbs at the tips of
each branch which light up whenever
someone whistles or daps their hands.
On exhibits such as the tree, no
explanation of how or what makes the
light bulbs flicker is given.
"Half of the idea of the exhibits is
to not give people the whole explana¬
tion,- said Masson. "These exhibits
will hopefully make people think and
try to understand. If we give them the
whole explanation, it's sort of defeat¬
ing the purpose.*
Service and social dubs in the area
are needed to help with renovation of
the building and general maintenance
duties.
-What we need is a group that would
organize a work day and do what's
needed around here,* said Masson.
"When this building was first construc¬
ted in 1953, it was built from the
ground up by volunteers. *

Instructors bring club into living rooms

Two    CSUF    English

living rooms throughout the valley.

most of the films people vote for are
older ones.
Before the film chosen is aired,
extensive research is done bv McDer¬
