FOUNT OF INFORMATION
Wolfenberger said that each question to a foundry
olficial produces a fount of Information which must
be carefully sifted for relevant data.
The Idea for the bell evolved from a fluid metals
class last semester and from Chrlstlson. Wolfenberger said Chrlstlson has wanted to cast a bell
for at least the past five semesters.
Besides learning the Ins and outs of bell casting,
lack of money has taught the bell casting team to
be,expert scroungers. Wood for the flask came
from the university corporatlonyard. Metal parts
have come from numerous places, and the students
have sunk about $30 Into bolts.
Taylor and Wolfenberger said they've spent
about $90 between them, and Chrlstlson estimates
about 1500 man-hours have gone into the work to

Currently the CSUCSPA Is supporting several bills pending in the
legislature, said Price. One of these, Assembly BUI 3039, would
prevent the president of a college from refusing to sign a student *•
budget for any reason other than 11 legal expenditure of foods. Several
years ago one California college budgeted $2,000 to send to a Vietnamese hospital, a move that was In violation of state administrative code, said Price.
WINE TASTING  '
The CSUCSPA is currently supporting s
students under  21 years of age to consume „ __,
wine tasting class. The bill is authored by Ken Meade (D-Oakland).
The CSUCSPA is against a bill that would not require auxiliary
organizations on campus to be self-supporting;. CSUF auxiliary organizations include the food services and the bookstore, said Price.
The CSUCSPA Is against this bill because It would mean the food
services would have to absorb' the losses If It were to lose money,
possibly resulting in Increased book prices, according to Price.
"A closer look into the problem area would be a better solution,*
said Price. 'Perhaps the management process should be examined.*

He meets with committees, staffs and legislators and acquaints them
