'EE-TOUTS' get VD spirit
In case anyone.1? wondering,
those gold-shirted masters of the
texual innuendo—the "EE-
TOUTS" will be returning to
competition during Vintage Days
For those unfamiliar with the
"EE-TOUTS," they are a group
of about IS CSUF students from
the Holiiiter-Sailnai area who
banded together to form one of
the more infamous competitive
events teams In Vintage Dayt
history.
The "EE-TOUTS" got their
start when former CSUF
students Joe Locatelli and Chuck
Dogllonl wanted to form a
competitive events team for
Vintage Dayt but did not belong
to any campus organization.
So they got together with their
fellow cohorts from the Salinas
Valley and the "EE-TOUTS"
resulted.
According to John Fisher, a
member of this year's group, no
one can remember who
suggested the name "EE-
TOUTS," butts does remember
that   once   the   name   was
In their first year of competition, the "EE-TOUTS"
finished in the "middle-oMhe-
pack."
"We were just trying mainly
for the 'teeehirt' competition.
But even there we didn't do that
well because we didn't know ail
the rules and we left the words
'Vintage Days' off the shirts. We
weren't really Into the other
events," Fisher sdd.
But In 1976, the "EE-TOUTS"
came out In full force.
Preventing the "EE-TOUTS"
from an even higher finish was
that the group did not enter the
Boomtown Carnivd event.
And Fisher explained why.
"Every year on Saturday night
during Vintage Days we get
together and have
Olympla Beer In the San Joaquin
Valley, paid for the silk
screening of their shirts.
"We each paid about 915 for
our uniforms and Oly kicked In
for the silk screening," Fisher
sdd. "We contacted Oly and they
thought our group was great."
Soon after the Initial appearance of the "EE-TOUTS,"
they found a large number of
students wanting to join.
"People started asking us bow
to organize a Vintage Days group
and even wanted to Join ours,"
Fisher said. "Right now we have
two people joining for everyone
that's left us."
The group's highlight came,
according to Fisher, when the
"EE-TOUTS" followed the band
In (luring opening ceremonies
and everyone In the crowd
started chanting, "EE-TOUTS,
EE-TOUTS."
The "EE-TOUTS" have had When  asked  If  the   "EE-

According to Steve, one reason
weigh tliftert don't really nave an
advantage It that different types
of muscle and body co-ordination
are used In wristwrestling.

Steve noted that wristwrestlers
face a variety of occupational
hazxards among which are
broken arms, pulled tendons and
bruited egos.
He alto tald that wristwrestling has probably become
more popular because of the
attention It has received on Wide
World of Sporta; But be says It
has always been popular.

Voting   Commentary
WhUe the find vote count of
1,749 makes it clear that many
CSUF students did not with to
vote, there were a few that did
but were not allowed to.
These unfortunate souls did not
have in their possession the
activities card which allows the
electoral process to be carried
through.
A few of these students made
their way Into the Collegian office arid hereto It contained some
of their comments.
"I made the mistake of
assuming that voting on this
campus was a right rather than
an activity. It teems to me that a
student body card would auow
me to exerclae that right. They
can punch my ttudent body card
If they want," sdd Ernest Goto, a
senior sociology ttudent.
"Where does a person go to
find out what I can do about them
not allowing me to vote. I went.to
the election committee and
Adamt (Tom, election committee chairman) told me to go to
Dean Bell and Bell told me to go
to bit beet. That's Baxter. The
people at the polling booths told
me I couldt vote without an
activities card because it waa
against be constitution (A.S.!
and the election rules. But I can't
find It anywhere In them," -aid
