IHHBHIHH^^Hi^HHfl •-THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Thursday, September 4, 1975 Art prof sculpts mountain into a home 1 \ / by Joe Ipsaro On a hilltop ID miles east of Fresno William Mlnschew, associate professor ofart, Is creating a home; with a bulldozer and dynamite. For the past three years Mlnschew has set aside easel and paint to direct the use of these powerful tools while working on the hill. He has already moved tons of i rock on what he calls his "canvas." And It has not been the easiest of portraits, he says, physically or mentally. In the beginning I felt nervous, as If I were raping the land. After the first half hour of work I told the bulldozer operator to stop." Following a little soul searching, though. Minsrhew carried on. 'I realized that I should not he timid, and overcame the block I had." Mlnschew says he now views the hill as adversary more than victim. •It is a hand-to-hand confrontation with that hill,* said Mlnschew, adding, 'like trying to manicure a giant." NOT SURE Though still not sure what his final version will look like, the crafty professor's present plans call for the building of an art studio on the side of the hill and a house at the top. Both buildings arc to be constructed of white stone. The house will have a domical roof. Behind the house will he a IS foot wide, IS fool deep trench that runs the length of the hilltop. All this, says Mlnschew, has significance. •The buildings will look organic, that is, as If they have grown from the hill. What I want is the Illusion of fluidness.'he said. The trench, he added, Is Budget turmoil ends (Continued from Page 1) Others, including Cruz Busta- mante, a defeated candidate for AS president last spring, said there Is $200,000 In additional reserve. Executive Vice-President Horace Schorllng, who stepped In In Baxter's absence, conceded the existence or the $200,000 but said It Is 'deficit spending" to dip Into It. He refused to approve the July 29 amount, citing several reasons, Including the deletion of $800 for the pep squad. DECORUM Baxter later nixed the budget himself, citing financial reasons but stressing primarily his "concern* that a budget be adopted •In an atmosphere of deliberation and decorum rather than ... 2 BR furnished across from dorm* $155 lease. 439-6481.

Baxter wrote that he hail received "numerous memoranda" rrom student iKxly ofrirers ami others which caused "concern" about the "tenor and nature* ol the July 29 meeting. Several senators yesterday pressed the point, and finally Good produced the letters in question, two of which she had written. One quoted some setia*- tors as having voted for the Increase because "they were afraid to vote any other way," and called the July 29 meeting a'melee." DRASTIC CUT Good and Nlkssarian presented a plan to the senate yesterday which called for cuts in many of the areas augmented July 29. Davenport proposed a compromise which would cut some budgets, such as the Collegian and special weeks, but not drastically. His plan was adopted, and len the senate with a $2000 reserve. The Davenport plan also followed the Good-Prtce-Nlkssar- lan plan In reinstating previous cuts In such activities as the pep squad and marching band. THE BULLDOG MARCHING BAND has openings available for all persons playing Band instruments. Contact Gene Pollart, Music 18Z dr call 2670.

An Idea not far removed from Stonehenge, says Mlnschew. SEVEN YEARS If all goes as planned, Mlnschew will move Into his hilltop retreat within seven or eight years. Why so long? The time Is needed, he says, to not only do the work, but to build up enough cash. "if I were a millionaire I could complete the project within a year," he said. Although reluctant to give an estimate on the total cost, Mlnschew did admit that he has already paid $25,000 for bulldozer work, and has spent more on dynamite than 'most people spend on homes." As for experience, Mlnschew does have some. He once spent five years remodeling a vacant farmhouse. However, the day after it was completed he sold It. It was too comfortable, and , besides the house did not start' from pure thought." Mlnschew will brush off any talk of- soiling his hilltop home, though. 1 will probably will It to CSUF with the stipulation that It be used in an art capacity." Be It ever so humble.

Since last April a board has been making plans for a "University Club* which would be exclusively for members and would serve beer on campus. Clayton Tidyman, business professor and chairman of the establishing board said they plan to have a 'bottle club.* This way they can have hard liquor without a license. Members bring their favorite brand and are allowed to serve It themselves. | The bar serves only Ice and the mixes. They plan to get a bear license too, but that will be easier to get than a liquor license, he feels. UPSTAIRS The club will be located upstairs above the old cafeteria and win be available only to members or their guests. The Initial membership fee is $125 till October 31 and $150 after that. Tidyman said the university 'will never have a better opportunity* to get such a club started. The board will wait till mid- November to decide whether there Is enough campus interest. If enough membership fees are collected, final planning will begin and hopefully the club will open towards the end ol the Spring semester, Tidyman said. The board teals that 250members will each hare to pay-a monthly fee of about $7.50. if there are 350 members, a fee of about $4.50 will be charged, and If they get more than that he expects there will be no need for a monthly fee at all, though there will be a small charge for Ice and mixes. EXCLUSIVE The club will be for exclusive use of members, who will be allowed to bring guests. If the guest is eligible to become a member he will pay $2. Non-eligible guests can be brought for no charge. This prevents someone from constantly being a guest Instead of becoming a member, Tidyman said. L---------------------■-<-- I DESIGNS FOR the CSUF faculty's club Include an entertainment area, dining-room, library and hospitality room. The proposed beer and "bottle* dob would be on the upper flor of the old cafeteria. Tidyman added that the board expects to make money by making the facilities available for'rent. It should be a good place to entertain, be said. The club will Include a bar area which will be able to serve beer and have a 'bottle" club. Around the area will be lounge chairs and a small stage area. VIP BOOM On the south wall of the bonding is planned a *VIP Room* which is available for banquets and like events. • The northeast corner will have a library section which will be partitioned from the main lounge Just aa the 'VIP room* will be. Tooths west of the library will be the entrance with a dark to check Identification and take payment, y The club will use no cash. All members will Sate a special credit card whlclr>wUl be their membership and payment card. They will receive a monthly statement from the club sn)d will not be permitted to use cash In the facility. BAXTER CSUF President Norman Baxter Initiated the study Into the University Club last April when be appointed a board of directors to 'proceed with developing specific plans for the establishment and operation of a university dub,* be said In a late August latter soliciting memberships from faculty and staff. He called the chance to establish a University Club a 'unique opportunity* and said sdeh clubs are 'characteristic -of leading universities throughout the world-* Tidyman Is hopeful enough people will want the club. Will they succad In getting it? He said he has 'sort of a feeling' that they will. Listener-sponsored FM station Berkeley radio is beamed to Fresno by Joe Ipsaro A unique form of mass media was introduced to the Fresno area this past June: listener-sponsored radio. KFCF-FM (88.1) can now be beard dally In Fresno and surrounding communities. The station relays the signal of KPFA, a Berkeley listener-sponsored station, to the local area. A noncommercial station, KFCF Is ran by the Fresno Free College Foundation (FFCF). The Foundation was organised in 1968 by a group of CSUF professors. Its sole purpose was to raise legal funds for English Professor Robert Mexey, who had been fired by than CSUF President Fredrlc Ness for remarks he allegedly made about marijuana. „_(_. Tna Foundation lost the Mezey case. It did, however, carry on 'to promote a free academic environment," according to •Alex Vavoulls, professor of chemistry and president of FFCF. LIBERAL PURGE The Foundation flourished through what vavoulls calls 'the liberal purge of 1368-1971.' During that period there were many firings at CSUF. ^ --" " "We were trying to counter and fight repression. Trying to keep them (the administration) from firing -anyone for nonprofessional reasons,* said Vavoulls. He contends that op to 29 faculty and administration members were either fired, demoted or resigned because of political reasons. The FFCF has withstood all that, though. It has expanded and involved itself In the community. Originally made np of only professors, its seven-member board of directors now consists of a publisher and two lawyers, among others. TIw directors meet monthly to dedde how to dispense contributions. Not all the money goes to defending professors any more: FILM -In 197S the board allocated $14 5 to three CSUF students tor the production of a film. The film, 'No Place For Wheels,* depicted the problems of handicapped consumers. -in 1974 FFCF helped defend John C. Walks, a former foreign student from Pakistan. Walks was threatened with deportation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service for remarks he had allegedly made on campus. After a bearing Walke was granted permanent residence states. —Last year FFCF applied for and received permission to broadcast the signal of KPFA into the Fresno area. The radio station will help the Foundation votes its ideas and help us communicate better with the community,*said Vavoulls. in return the station needs community support, he added./ 'So far we have been doing fairly well, but need more subscribers. We especially want student support,* be said. Vavoulls says he hopes to start a student group on campus. Anyone Interested may write him at KFCF, P.O. Box 881, Fresno, Ca. 93714. - .
