Gas stations find ways to survive
By Susan Good
Collegian Staff Writer
Unused gas stations are not ln
demand ln the business world
these days — at least not for
selling gasoline anyway.
But many gae stations that have
closed across the nation In tbe
wake of tbe fuel crisis are being
salvaged and converted Into more
profitable businesses.
Fresno stations are no exception.
Phil Hudson, president of the*
California Petroleum Retailers
Association, estimates more than
50 out of 400 Fresno area gas
stations have closed within the '
last six months.
According to Hudson, these
riosed stations then become the
responsibility of their parent oil
companies who must remove the
stations.
But Instead of being removed,
stations have been converted into
a restaurant, a dog grooming
shop, a radio repair shop, a soda
pop sales outlet and a muffler
shop. <
Why choose! a 'closed* gas
station to house a business?
Mary and Hank Bocchlnl, owners of Hank's mini-mart station
structure .on Shields and Sierra
Visa, said they had no choice.
After many unsuccessful attempts to re-lease the station
to an oil company, Bocchlnl decided he'd try to "make a go of
It* ln June.
He made the station Into a mini
mart with specialty clams, lobsters and oysters from Maine...
and he still sells gas too, when
he has any.
Ron Porter,,owner of Action
Muffler on  Maple  and Shields,
opened his station shop five years
ago. He bought all bis own muffler equipment and now does a
"thriving business.*
Jerry Beasley, down tbe street
from Action Muffler, owns a gas
station turned Into, a produce
stand. Beasley, who bought tbe
station ln October, takes advantage of the busy corner to sell
fresh fruits, vegetables and lee.
•This corner never made lt as
a gas station, but I'm doing fine,*
the local grower aald.
Jim Sluaher of Slusher Motors
selected a prime Belmont corner
for his car sales agency two
years ago. The former station Is
a 'fine office* and the surrounding asphalt Is perfect display
ground for his new Subarus and
Peugots.
Doris Karos. owner of Strawberry Lane Restaurant on Olive,
If another successful station
businesswoman.
Her restaurant, centering on.
two long aisles with the words
'hamburgers, hot dogs, french
tries . . .* is a switch from Its
former gasoline bustle with tbe

signs of yesterday.
Huge black dog posters cover
the windows of a station now used
as a dog grooming store on First
and Clinton.
Gwen Turner and Sara Sclaqua,
owners or 'Dog World,* lease the
property for the same price an
oil company would to sell dog
supplies, food supplements and
bathing and grooming services.
■We did real well our first
month here,* Ms. Turner said.
It was a bad location for a gas
station, but It's great for a spe-

Contrary legal advice prompted
1 the Academic Senate to postpone
a   decision "on  whether or  not
(Senate   representation   la  warranted  at  United Professors of
California (UPC) meetings.
Dr. Warren Kessler. UPC
president, sent a memorandum to
the senate saying *a representative to UPC meetings can only
he sent after the faculty organization (UPC in this case) gives
written approve!-*
Kessler said at the meeting
the UPC has a 'meet and confer*
gathering and. according to his
legal counsel, has the 'right to
gather In confidence* If neces
sary.
One senate member asked
Kessler why •confidence'* would

'Sometimes an employee organization has to discuss confidential questions almut the administration,* he replied. In a
case such as this tbe organization haa the right to meet confidentially. If need he. through the
prior approval method.*
Dr. Caylord Graham, chairman
of the Senate, countered Kessler's statement.

Onlookers treated to Streakers for Nixon noontime parade
By Philip Hagoplan
Collegian Staff Writer
The 1,000 or so streak-gazers
•no crowded Into the College
1 mon area last Friday wouldn't
i.ive been disappointed had they
reen there yesterday.
At 12:30 ptVti., three men sped
with undisguised patriotism
"1 rough the College Union and
'lie Free Speech area before last
seen heading west across campus
toward Cedar Avenue.
Their wearing apparel: red,
white and blue strips of tape on
their buttocks and like-colored
stars over nipples, navels .and
kneecaps.
It was a political happening
to draw attention to the political
situation today," said one of the
streakers — who asked that his
name, at least, not be revealed.
But  there  was  an  apparent
religious cast as well.
They called themselves the
"Christian Streakers for Nixon."
In a telephone Interview with
the Collegian shortly after the
sprint, the spokesman acknowledged the whole thing was "a hit
of a spoof."
The Impression was they are
neither altar boys nor Young
Republicans.
Tbe spokesman said the streak
was similar In spirit to the humor magazine "National Lampoon:" 'very serious but also
very hardcore.*
'We're not a bunch of Jocks
running around fraternity row,*
he said.
And they even issued a communique:
In this time of national crisis,
tt Is our duty as Americans to
actively support President Nixon
and the Watergate Seven.*
If Nixon gets aa much 'support* from Congress as our free-
hanging friends had yesterday...
well, be might as well start pecking tils suitcase.
Meanwhile, another anonymous
telephone call ts the Collegian
yesterday 'confirmed* last
Thursday's "Shaw Avenue*
streak, Tbe principles (all male)
