A group of seven students from
CSUFs sheep-showing team grabbed
top honors, exhibiting six champions
and reserve champions at the Los
_ H County Fair in September.
Team member Paul Pimentel's first
place showing in the Reserve Supreme
Champion Lamb Overall made it the
second year running that the CSUF
team has won.
His charge also took the Champion
College Suffolk Lamb and Grand Cham¬
pion College Lamb awards and first
place in the Heavyweight Suffolk
division.
Pimentel himself came away from the
market competition winning second
place in Showmanship.
Two other students, Kevin Koelewyn
and David Ylarregui, took the other
Reserve Section awards, exhibiting the
Reserve Champion College Suffolk.
Lamb and Reserve Champion Wool
Breed Cross.
The other members of the team,
Danise Wollen, Randy Layne, Tracy
Vincent and Diane Dietrich also
managed to win and place in a numfeer
of other sections including Show¬
manship, College Wool Breed Cross and
Heavyweight Hampshire.'
According to John Cordeiro, animal
science lecturer who was in charge of
the project, the team went down to Los
Angeles with nine animals, seven of
which were shown and sold at the fair.
"This has been quite a successful
outing—but then again we have always
had very strong showings in such
events at any of the competitions that
we attend throughoutthe year," he said!
He said that the project was part of a
sheep fitting and showing project con¬
ducted here at CSUF, and that students
signed up for this particular event at the
end of last year and early this year.
Besides the Los Angeles County Fair,
teams from the university also take part
in several other competitions through¬
out the year including the Great
Western in Pomona, the California
Suffolk Sale in Reno and the Purple
Circle event in Stockton.
According to Cordeiro, besides market
animals - sheep that are slaughtered
after showing at competitions - the
school also takes part in events showing
breeding and pure-bred sheep.
On the university's entries at the Los
Angeles County Fair this year, he said
that there was a slight problem because
of the summer holidays. Students had
returned home or were working during
! that period.
*^The members of this year's team
however, returned to school a week
early to make sure that they had enough
time with their charges.
Cordeiro said that the members of the
team were allowed to choose which
animals they wanted to show at the fair
from the university's sheep herd.
"There are between 200 to 400
Suffolk," Hampshire, cross and Ram-
bouillet sheep out here, the numbers
varying according to whether it is the
peak breeding season or not," he said.
The students are rthen given appro¬
ximately 60 days to care for the animals,
including washing, feeding and fitting
(shearing) them in preparation for the
fair. a
Pimentel said that although each of
the students had their own charges to
look after, all the members in a
particular project worked together like a
team.
'We wash the lambs - which are about
six months old - fit and feed them, look
after them at the fair and weigh them to
make sure that they are within the 110-
120 pound competition weight," said
Pimentel.
In market competitions, after the
animals are sold and slaughtered, the
proceeds from that sale minus the costs
for the upkeep of the animals is shared
out among the students.

$10,000 allocated for research

The University of CaUfornia, San
^Francisco Medical Education Founda¬
tion has allocated $10,000 to help fund
the development of the Central Cali¬
fornia Biomedical Research Institute in
Fresno, according to Dr. Kin Pin Wong,
dean of the School of Natural Sciences at
CSUF.
\ Wong said the research institute will
promote biomedical research activities
among faculty members from the UCSF-
Fresno medical education program,
'CSUF and other scientific and edu¬
cational organizations in the San Joa¬
quin Valley.
"By doing that, well increase the qual¬
ity of health care and develop a sup¬
porting foundation of basic sciences in
Central California, particularly in the
greater Fresno area."
"Up to this date, there are over 100
faculty members from both UCSF and
CSUF who showed greater interest in
this biomedical research institute, and
will actively get involved with it in the
near future," said Wong.
"It (the institute) will help basic
biological and medical research in the
CSUF and increase the probability of
potentially offering joint doctorate
programs with UCSF." He added that it
. will promote cooperation and col¬
laboration between the faculties and
academicians of the two institutions
which serve the needs of the Central
Valley.* .
"A   biomedical   institute    would
enhance the level of health care in the
community by stimulating innovative
ideas and attracting to the Central
Valley superior faculty in clinical med¬
icine and biomedical research," said
Wong.
He added that as a long-term goal, the
institute' would be housed in a building
consisting of laboratories and other
research facilities which would become
the major biomedical research institu¬
tion in the Central Valley, providing a
source of scientific expertise to the Val¬
ley with a national reputation.
The UCSF-Fresno foundation also
announced a $90,000 competitive award
to be made to a member of its faculty,
according to Mark Aydelotte, director of
the University of California regional
office in Fresno.
The foundation, which supports the
educational and research Activities of
the UCSF-Fresno program, has previ¬
ously provided funds to support visiting
professorships and stipends in recog¬
nition of outstanding research by faculty
members, housestaff, and students," said
Aydelotte.
He added that the recipient of the
three-year grant will be chosen by a
special review committee in mid-
January of 1988.
About 200 graduate and under-grad¬
uate medical students study in Fresno
through the UCSF-Fresno Medi-cal
Education Program. It provides in¬
ternships and residency training, clinical
clerkships for medical students, and con¬
tinuing education for physicians, and

Students arrested in CIA protest
(CPS) — Police arrested five
Louisiana State University students for
trying to disrupt the Central Intelligence
Agency's   (CIA)   attempt   to   recruit
students on their Baton Rouge campus.
An all-night vigil involving about 40
studenta preceded a march to the
campus placement office, where pohce
made the arrests.
Also, the agency announced it would
cancel a scheduled recruiting visit to the
University of Colorado, the scene of
vehement anti-CIA protests in recent
years.
"I understand the CIAs decision to
cancel the visit was based on its desire to
spare the university a continued es¬
calation of confrontation and because it
has fewer personnel needs this year,"
said CU Vice Chancellor Kaye Hows.
In early September, the CIA had said'
it would increase its campus recruiting
nationwide this year.
ClTs placement office will continue to
arrange off-campus interviews for stu¬
dents interested in a career with the spy
parts of the world.
"We're having a victory party/ aaid
CU anti-CIA activist Michael Terry. "But
Protestors object to the CIAs recruit¬
ing   efforts   because   of tha
activities in <
it will be followed by an c _
meeting. AS long as the university is still
ejsJsHaf in the recruiting process, wa
will continue to show the criminality of
theCIA
"But tins a good sign," he added. The
CIA is on the run, where it belongs."    -
