CAMPUS VITICULTURE
Continued from page 1
Because of the reduced rates charged
by the three companies and a special
$5,000 donation from the California
~Vtaiain Advisory Board, the university
"paid only $2,500 for the new system,
Petrucci said
He said that the possibility of in¬
stalling a new system was first brought
up during a conversation with Joe Gara-
bedian, owner of the Valley Weld-ing
and Machine Company.
"His (Garabecban's) company had
been repairing and maintaining the old
machinery free of charge for a long time
and when I mentioned to him that we
needed a new system, he offered to
donate it to the school," Petrucci said.
He said that he was particularly
pleased with the support and generosity
that had been shown to the research
center by members of the wine ana
raisin community and industry.
CSUF is unique in that it is the only
university in the world that provides, a
complete viticulture! facility that can
simulate all aspects of viticulture pro¬
duction in the world, said Petrucci.
He also said that the teaching and
research facilities provided by VERC
serve all segments of the California wine
and grape industry. \
According to Petrucci, the new ma¬
chinery replaces a 33-year-old system
installed when the plans for a raisin pro¬
cessing plant were first approved by the
state in1954.
"With the new addition, I am looking
forward to the future — in strength¬
ening our offerings in raisin production
and processing for which we are world
famous," he said. ,
Petrucci said it was improvements
and advancements such as these which
made Che program viable and attractive
to both students and the grape and raisin
industry. «
Because CSUF is well known for its
excellent raisin production and pro¬
cessing techniques and its contributions
to the grape industry, he said, it has been
able to attract the interest of big com¬
panies such as MacDonnell-Douglas, the
Pacific Gas and Electric Company and
the Southern California Gas Company,
all of which are presentl> involved with
a number of the ongoing research pro¬
jects being carriea out by the center. -
An example of this would be the de¬
velopment of a new food product called
Grape Puffs," being tried by Petrucci
and associate researcher, Carter Clary
of VERC.
With the new addition, viticulture
students will also enjoy the twofold
benefit of gaining firsthand experience
on the latest state-of-the-art machinery
as well aa being involved with some of
the latest research developments in the
field, he said.
Petrucci stressed that CSUF also had
very strong teaching and research pro¬
grams geared toward the analogy
and table grape sectors of the industry.
Meanwhile, Joe Garabedian of the
Valley Welding and Machine Company
said that CSUFs research programs
were vital to the industry as they pro¬
vided the needed technical research
work in the field which cannot be car¬
ried out by farmers and growers who
have neither the ability nor re-sources to
doit
"Because we are in the prims raisin
growing county of the world, I think
that it is only right that the university
that trains the young people for our in¬
dustry have the latest and best equip¬
ment Garabedian said.
Garabedian also said that support
4 from the industry was essential because
CSUF doss not normally get enough
money for machinery which is im¬
portant to any research program.

admit, ana retain a culturally diverse
student population with particular em¬
phasis on under-represented groups." It
added that programs should be aug¬
mented to increase admission of high
school graduates and community
transfer students and that a special pro¬
gram should be implemented to combat
school drop-outs.
In order to recruit and maintain a
superior faculty, the draft said, "faculty
development and training programs,
incentives, and assessment of faculty
morale are essential." A proposed goal
in the plan was to "identify and retain
outstanding faculty members that
reflect the ethnic diversity of the region."
The plan predicted that-CSUFs full-
time equivalent student population is
will increase, on the average, at the rate
of one percent per year for the next five
years, that in five years 12 percent of the
tenure-track faculty will retire and that
within 10 years 28 percent will retire.
"In addition to resources supporting
affirmative action and general uni¬
versity growth, resources will be needed
to support the university's commitment
to subsidizing slow-growth depart¬
ments. Monies will also be needed to
support faculty research and develop¬
ment," the plan reads.
The plan said, "Based both on
numbers and on program needs, the two
CSUF schools with the most immediate
need for institutional space are Edu¬
cation and Human Development and
Arts and Humanities. Other areas with
future facility needs include health care
studies and extended education."
