Big mac lab
opening soon
By Steve Fountain
Staff Writer
Studenta with a fear of labs may be in
for a pleasant surprise Wednesday with
the grand opening of CSUFs first Mac¬
intosh Laboratory in Room 113 of the
Keats Campus Building     ~. »
Sixteen Macintosh computers, a-
mong the easiest to use and most pow¬
erful computers on the market, and
three ImageWriter printers will be a-
vailable for any CSUF student to use.
The grand opening will be held between
9 ajn. and 4 p.m. and will feature rep¬
resentatives from Apple Computer, the
Kennel Bookstore and the Center for
Information Processing at CSUF.
The installation of the Apple-
manufactured computers marks a
change in direction for the Center for In¬
formation Processing, commonly re¬
ferred to as the Computer Center. The
open-use labs, which are run by the
Computer Center, previously used IBM
or IBM-compatible computers. The set
up of the Macintosh Lab is the result of a
three-year effort by the Centers assist¬
ant director, Steve Saltzberg.
"It was a personal battle to get the
Macintosh's in," said Saltzberg. I had to
work with the Academic Affairs Office,
my own office and with Apple Com¬
puter to get the funding."
Saltzberg believes the Macintosh is
not only a more learnabte system for
students, but that it also offers graphics
that IBM cannot offer for the same
money.
"The Macintosh has a very easy-to-
learn human interface," said Saltzberg.
"For the less traditional computing
fields, it is a nice feeling to use the unit,
do graphics, and to layout papers.*'
Among the programs available for
use in the lab are MicroSoft Word,
MacDraw, Full Paint, and a Data Base
system.
According to Saltzberg, the entire lab
cost approximately $60,000, of which
$20,000 was spent on the renovation of
Keats 113. The room was previously
used as a storage area for Food Services.
As such, it had no windows, minimal

Model's pose cut
short by collapse

A nude model tumbled to the floor,
landing on her face and opening a gash
on her chin last Thursday mornig while
posing for a CSUF figure drawing class.
Rene Berfyman, 18, collapsed and fell
approximately one foot from a platform
during her last pose for the students of
Dr. Mary Maughelli's combined Art 21
and 121 classes.
"She was about 15 minutes through
her last pose when her legs buckled and
she stumbled forward and fell," said
Nathan Ross, a student in the class. Ross
added that she had posed several times
during the class period, taking breaks in
between. The poses graduated in length
from two to 20 minutes.
"She had her arms folded behind her
back and her feet were about a foot a-
part," Ross said, describing her last pose.
"Her knees were locked and her chin
was tilted upward."
Another student, Steve Banister said
he immediately called Campus Police.
"Someone covered her in a blanket and
she remained on the floor until an am¬
bulance arrived a few minutes later," he
said. .
According to a police report filed by
Crime Prevention Officer Mike O'Reilly,
Berryman suffered a one-and-one-half-
inch laceration on her chin. She ap¬
peared to be in shock and could not
speak when the ambulance arrived,
according to the police report.
The model was taken to St. Agnes
Medical Center where a spokesperson
listed her condition as stable.
S either   Berryman   nor   Maughelli
d be reached for comment.

According to CUPC program advisor,
Russell Kraanuik, among the new items
that his committee has planned for this
semester's program are two reggae mini-
concerts, a ballet in conjunction with
CSUFs Pine Arts Festival in^ml and
regular "coffee house" performances by
local and regional bands at the Pit.
Another new item included in this
Fall's programming will be the Saturday
Afternoon Matinee at the Satellite Col¬
lege Union every other Saturday.
The Saturday Matinee, consisting of
several cartoon, festivals and classics
such as "Sleeping Beauty", "The Song of
the Sooth" and "The Great Mouse De¬
tective" will be targeted toward a young-
concerts held at the beginning of this
semester, the CUPC's mini-concerts com¬
mittee also have two other groups, The
Untouchables and Game Theory, lined
up on the schedule for the remainder of
the year. —
"All these new items are in keeping
with the CUPCs five-year plan to
develop a recreational program which
will effectively meet the needs and re¬
quirements of the student community
here on campus," he said.
Besides the usual items like the Friday
night movies at the SCU and the
University Lecture Series which have
traditionally depended on the CUPC for
funding in varying degrees, one of the
main thrusts of the Committee for the
upcoming academic year will be to intro¬
duce more cultural events to its pro¬
gram schedule.
"Because of the diverse nature of the
student population on this campus, it is
only natural that programming, plan¬

Ha added that besides the very suc¬
cessful Lisa Lisa and Club Nouveau
this area receive a lot of attention from
this committee," he said.
Reflective of the CUPCs aim to in¬
troduce more cultural events to the
students, its Cultural Events Committee
( formerly known as the Multi-Cultural
Committee) received a 400% increase to
its former budget, bringing the com¬
mittee's annual allocation to $10,000 this
year as compared to $2,500 last year.
According to the coordinator of the
Cultural Events Committee, Moe Sarip,
a student survey conducted last semes¬
ter showed that there was a lack of
cultural events here on campus.
He said that the great potential of
introducing programs into this area
resulted in the Cultural Events Com¬
mittee's increased budget for the up¬
coming academic year.        Q
Sarip said that his committee had a
big 'reggae concert featuring the
Babylon Warriors and the Mojo Sym¬
phony coming up during the middle of
this month as "well as several rhythm
and blues performances lined up as part
of their core programming fat Fall.
"The reason we have two reggae
concerts lined up for this semester alone
is because it has never been done before
and we fesl iris about time aspects of
this culture are highlighted," he said.
Sarip said that his committee hoped to
introduce the wide cultural diversity on
campus to the general student body by
utilising all available resources including
the different ethnic groups and or¬
ganizations, to provide quality program¬
ming throughout the year.
Sarip, himself an international stu¬
dent, said that his six-member com¬
mittee   comprised   of  representatives
from various cultural backgrounds.
"We have a Native American, a
Hispanic and a Hmorff student on (he
com mi ttee and we feel that this cultural
diversity within the committee will help
us understand the special needs of the
student body better," he said.
Sarip said that be was still-in the
process of recruiting members to join rria
committee and that any interested stu¬
dent was welcome to coma into the
CUPCs office in the College Union to fill
outanappKcationform.
Students are also welcome to attend
the Committee'a open meetings held
every Monday and Wednesday at CU
