The Dot 'n Dash-a small paper comes a long way
Making a place for itself in the journal¬
istic world at CSUF this semester is an
inauspicious little publication entitled
the Dorm Dot 'n' Dash.
*l always wanted to put something to¬
gether like this that would kind of pull
the dorms together," said Craig Tomlin-
son, interim Residence Life Coordinator
and editor and guiding force behind the
Dot 'n' Dash.
Tomlinson is an art major at CSUF and
holding the position of Residence Life
Coordinator until the former coordinator,
Diane Shilton. returns from a leave of
absence
"The Dot 'it' Dash has come a long
way since the first issue at the beginning
of the semester,* Tomlinson said. 'I
r .ally wasn 't too clear on the specifics of
what I wanted to do with layout and
other things.'
The newsletter's contents are orient¬
ed completely toward the needs and in¬
terests of the 1,267 dorm residents at
CSUF. It carries such features as the
Reel Critic, a film review column; th^
Pickle Jar, a parody of a sob column;'
and a sports roundup.
Published every Wednesday, .the EM
'n ' Dash also carries a couple of news
features each week dealing with specific
issues relating to the dorms such as get¬
ting out of dorm housing contracts and
the quality of food served in the resi¬
dence dining hall.

Bulldog bowlers roll into fifth
place at Davis beating Stanford
After two days, two formats of play,
and several heartbreaking matches, the
Bulldog bowling team took a fifth place
in the West Coast Collegiate Team
Championships at UC Davis last week-
The first day, using the conventional
five men bowling 10 frames method of
team bowling, CSUF went 3-3. The Bull¬
dogs started off the day by losing to host •
Davis #1 by seven pins, then dropped
another match to San Jose State before
winning their first match of the competi¬
tion against the Spartan Bowling Club.
while losing to Stanford. Top man for the
Bulldogs over the six matches was Rick
Ward who averaged 1%. Also perform¬
ing well that first day was Joel Laster
whose 233 was the Bulldog high game
total, and had a 188average.
The second day saw the teams using a
type of team bowling which utilizes all
five team members bowling just one
game In this method, the number one
bowler would bowl first, and again in
the sixth frame. The second bowler
would bowl in the second and seventh
I so on   Using this method,
CSUF started off the day again on a
losing note, being beaten by Stanford
by five pins, and Davis SI by eight. The
Bulldogs beat San Jose State, then lost
a heartbreaker to the Spartan Bowling
Club by a single pin. After three straight
wins against Cal Poly, Davis #2 and the
Spartan Club, CSUF got involved in
another nailbiter with the Spartan Club,
again losing, this time by two points.
The Bulldogs finished off with a win
over Los Medanos, and a one point vic¬
tory over Stanford.
CSUF then played a full scale all-five-
members - roll - all - 10 - frames match
against San Jose State, and again lost
by a single point 915 to 914.
If the Bulldogs would have been able
to turn two or three of those close losses
around into wins, the tournament, won
by Stanford, might have been theirs.
Over the Christmas vacation, the team
will be competing in the Las Vegas
New Year's Invitational at the Showboat
Lanes Dec. 30and 31. Then the weekend
before the spring semester, Jan. 19 and
20, the team travels to Berkeley fpr a
Northern California Intercollegiate Mas¬
ters League match. The team will go into
that match two games behind San Jose
State for first place in that league.

'Anybody can write for the paper, but
I do reserve the right of editing anything
that comes in. Everything is due for pub¬
lication by 5 p.m. on Monday evening,
which makes it a little scary sometimes,'
Tomlinson said.
"I don't really assign stories and the
paper usually just comes together practi¬
cally by itself on Monday. Then again,
sometimes it doesn't and I find myself
starting to sweat right around deadline,"
he said. "But that situation doesn't hap¬
pen often."
The paper carries no advertising and
Tomlinson isn 't altogether sure what the
readership of the Dot 'n' Dash is. But he
does know that he has had to double the
number of issues printed since the be¬
ginning of the semester. "7
'We started out printing only around
300 copies. By Sept. 26 we were printing
600 every week to keep up with the de¬
mand,'he said.
Depending on what is featured in an
issue, some go much faster than others.
'One issue, on the cafeteria.food, is
probably a Collector's item by now,* he
Tomlinson said he plans to continue
the paper next semester if possible.
"In a way, this is may baby, my
dream. I don't have any background in
journalism or graphic art, but it's some¬
thing I've always wanted to do. And the
people in the dorms have responded to
at the CSUF lanes.

"There's no profit in this for anyone at
all," added EmanuEl.
Johnson told the senate that the
Theater Arts department wishes them to
contribute all that they can for the trip.
The AS has about $6,000 in their unall¬
ocated funds.
Senator Jerry Hinkle said that the fes¬
tival is a "perfect instructional./ related
activity." He added that the IRA fund,
which is made up of student registration
money, would be a more appropriate
source of funding than the AS.
But the Theater Arts department can¬
not tap next year's IRA allocations and
have already taking $2,000 allotted for
four drama productions, according to
EmanuEl.
The senate voted to refer the matter to
their Finance andaBudget Committee.
The committee meets at 2 p.m. tom¬
orrow in room 306 of the College Union.
AS Secretary Yolanda Ruiz suggested
that the possibility of matching funds
with the Alumni Association be consider¬
ed after teaming that the Association
had not yet been approached.
EmanuEl said that Acting Vice Pres¬
ident Robert O. Bess did not immed¬
iately believe that CSUF was invited to
perform at the festival. He said that
Bess then told him that 'he would do
everything in his power' to see that
CSUF is represented at the festival.
However, EmanuEl added that a lot of
support  has  been  received, but  little

Crafters 'free spirits' attracted to
CSUF Holiday Crafts Bazaar
'I like to be different - to drive the
freeway in a van and go to a crafts show
(for a living),' said Tom Esklund who
sold ceramics at the Holiday Crafts Ba¬
zaar on Tuesday and Wednesday.
He expressed what seemed to be the
spirit of many craftspersons: freedom.
"I like to be independent. To sell
someone something unique and different
and something that will make them hap¬
py," he said.
The special craft he and his wife
Nancy make is a ceramic animal with a
bathroom function such as a toothbrush
holder and soap dish.
For six years they have been in busi¬
ness. At first, they made animals.that
were just for decoration. Then they got
the idea to make them functional and
that is when the toothbrush holders
came into existence.
Esklund, who is from Sonoma-County,
has a studio where they work with four
hired hands. Esklund makes the shapes
of the animals and Nancy does, the ex¬
pressions all by hand. Then, Esklund
puts on the eyes. That's where he said
the true feeling of the character comes -
Esklund said he can go into mass pro¬
duction, on a national level, as soon as
he feels he can handle it. But, for the
time being, he works in his studio and
travels around California doing shows.
Rory Moore has been from Los Angel¬
es to Alaska to seTI his jewelry and he
spends his summers in Colorado. He
mostly creates rings and stone necklaces
and belongs to an arts and crafts cooper¬
ative in Los Banos.
He used to sell only his original jewel¬
ry, but now that the demand is so high,
he said he has had to buy chains and
charms to sell.
'They aren't original. I don't enjoy
selling it, but to make a living, you have
to sell things that aren't yours. They're
your bread and butter,' he said.
Some days, when Moore is on the
road, he said he may hit seven or eight
towns in one day to wholesale. But, now
with the gas and other expenses, he said
it is hard to sell to other stores because a
person needs that personal touch.
Six years ago, he quit his job as a
salesman at Sears and began making
jewelry. "It's a continual learning pro¬
cess," he said.
"We're not getting rich, but we're
making a living. You have a lot of per¬
sonal freedom and you really appreciate
the freedom and opportunity you have in
this country," he said.
Sander makes ceramic flutes and the
first thing people ask her is, "Do they
really work?" She then picks one up and
plays a melody. She says they are simple
and anyone can learn how to play them.
Eight years ago, Sander said she met a
potter and the two ideas of pottery and
flutes meshed together. She also goes to
many shows to sell her creations. Every
weekend from March to Christmas, she
said she is traveling with her husband
and five-year-old son doing shows.
She is from Santa Cruz County (Boul¬
der Creek) and depends'on traveling
sales for her livelihood. That's my liv¬
ing; I count on that,'she said.
But, it is a nerve-wracking part of the
business because she said it is hard to
get into shows these days.
'Crafts shows have become a way of
life in America (for artists). You used to
be begged to be in them; now you have
to scream to get in. I think it would be
very difficult for anyone (new) to get into
this business now-a-days," she said.
She said her biggest show is in Half-
Moon Bay, and this year she got rejected
after being there for five years. She said
that particularly gets on her nerves. The
reason for the rejection, she said, could
be anything from a substantial one to a

'Nothing is certain. You make $1,000
one day at a certain show and the next
year you come back and only make $100
in one day,'she said.
The drive that keeps her going is the
feeling of being a worker, salesperson,
bookkeeper, wife and mother all at the
same time. She enjoys working with her
family and having them travel with her.
She said also that the crafts people
tend to go to the same show and so they
are almost an extended family. They are
especially kind to her son, she said.
Right now, her son is in an independent
