According to Holmes, the reason a
belltower was not built earlier is because
of the site chosen by the consulting
architect -  Maple Avenue.
"We certainly couldnt put it (the belltower) out there until all of Maple had
been re-done." he said, noting thai

To assist in funding of the project.
Holmes said the University Women's

England followed. The students were
eager to gel as much information as they
could on bells and their construction.
Accordingto Chrislison, several attempts
were made to cast a bell successfully
before the final bell was made.
"The kids would all potluck and come
over to my place." he recalled. "We did
all the casting on Saturdays We'd start
at six in the morning and pour around
five in the evening. If things weni well
we came back at I a.m. to shake out the
bell and see if we had success with it."
A flask was made for the innitial construction of the bell. In this case, the
flask was an open 4-by-4 wooden box.
Two tons of water-lempered sand was
rammed into the flask, then cut away in
a sweeping fashion, Chrislison said.
"Metal at that lime was 60 cents per
pound," he said. "Now they say that it is
up lo $1.68 per pound, so the bell has'
increased in value.".
When asked how he felt about the bell
being in his classroom instead of in a
lower Ihe past seven years, Chrislison
replied: "It's kind of nice....It's my
friend. But it belongs to the students,
and more people should see and hear it.
A bell is meant to be rung and
apprcciaied."

Nov. 2. 1983
A day of football with the zanies at the Big A
ANAHEIM-The Big A II. or, 77ie>>
jusl don't do things the same way in
Southern California:
What's the difference between a
football game at Candlestick Pafk or
the Oakland Mausoleum and thafog A?
In a word — the world. Or tne same
thing as the difference between Danny
Whiteand Ken Stabler, J.R.Ewingand
Mr. Rogers, or, better yet, Jesse Helms
and George McGovern.
How can you tell if you're at a
football game in Southern California?
Simple. Just look for the following telltale signs:
—The home team is, in all likelihood,
losing. Take a look at the home records
of UCLA, USC, etc. The Rams might be
an exception this year, and CSU.
Fullerton doesn't have a home, so they
don't count.
— People are walking around with
bugged-out eyes and no shirts on, The
men are anyways. There are two reasons
for this. The fans are busily scanning the
crowd for any possible celebrities that
might be attending the Rams' game, like
Mr. T, Richard Nixon, or even Ray
Malavasi. Also, they're not wearing
shirts because it's usually well over 80
degrees. On this sweltering day, the
mercury climbed to at least 92 degrees.
Thai's not football weather, it's USFL
weather.
-The drinks. Go to a football i
San Francisco, or Oakland. Make thai
just San Francisco, because what they're
playing these days in Oakland ain't
football. Anyways, go order something
to drink at' the concession stands.
Whatll you have? A beer, of course.
Not at that relic of high society known
as the Big A. This stadium has bars. If
you don't feel like having a beer at the
moment, the solution is simple. Have a
daiquiri or better yet, a ma rganta. Both
are served at the Big A, because after all,
what would a good football game in
Anaheim be like without a good stiff
drink before you leave in the third
quarter. Daiquiris? Margaritas? These
just are not acceptable football drinks.
These are yacht racing drinks. (Who
said that?). By the way. try the strawberry daiquiris, they're the tastiest at tbe
Big A.
Aside from the activity on the field at
the Big A. there's also plenty of other
action in the surroundings to occupy the
mind of the casual football fan:
Before the Rams and 49ers take the
field, the Big A officials thought it might
be nice to give the fans a little example
of what the sport of rugby is about.
Who are they trying to kid here? The
majority of these Southern California
fans don't want lo learn a foreign sport
— that's what they have the NFL for.
Not only is rugby a foreign sport, it's
dangerous. Suicidal even. Rough hitting, and no pads for the players. They
must get the players from the mental
hospitals in Sonoma County. "Hereyou
go guys, takeoff those white jackets and
throw that weird looking ball around."
From what l was able to see. rugby
has one other problem, besides the fact
that nobody cares—there's no offense.
no scoring. If football fans wanted that,
they'd go see a soccer game. Or a
Houston Oilers game.
After the rugby game, the Big A
message board, which also doubles as a
scoreboard went to work. What was Its
first little tidbit of information? "Congratulations to the Cai State Fullerton
Titans, who clinched the PCAA title
with a victory over Fresno State last
night."
Ouch. The Big A message board also
rubs salt in wounds.
A day at the Big A can also destroy a
myth, or reinforce one. Cases in point:
Myth No. I: Females at football
games don't like the cheerleaders, and
when they do watch them, all they do is
tear them up to pieces. This is true.
After watching the Embraceable Ewes
trample through another endless routine.
I turned to ask my female friend what
she thought of the Rams' cheerleaders.
After pointing out the numerous flaws
she spotted in the girls' routine, my
friend added. "They look like an Avon
Lady blew up in their faces."
Myth No. 2: Females know about as
much about football as you and I do
about the Middle East situation. This is
false.
While watching tbe 49ers and Rams
go through their warmup drills, I busily
attempted to explain to my friend that
Henry Ellard might have an easier day
because a member of the 49ers was
AWOL due to a Contract squabble.
"Hicks," she said. "Dwight as a
matter of fan." Gloria Steinem would
have loved it.

Spikers back on the road
' Just when things start looking up for.
the CSUF volleyball team on its home
court, its time to hit the road again.
The Bulldogs, winners of their last
two contests, will square off with the
University of San Francisco Dons
tonight in Memorial Gym. Game time is
7:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs, who have won five of
their last six contests, are coming off a
pair of weekend wins over the University
of Washington and Washington State
University in the South Gym. The
Huskies and the Cougars are ninth and
tenth, respectively, in the Northern
Pacific Conference race, so things should
be more difficult for the 'Dogs tonight.
The 9-12 Bulldogs will be facing an
8-I9 Don team that sports an identical
2-5 NorPac record. The two teams are
tied for sixth place in the conference.
The Dons defeated both Washington
schools last week for their first ever
victories in NorPac play.
They then followed up the victories
with losses to the University of Oregon
and Oregon State University.
The Dons' main weapon is sophomore Kathy Schindler. who leads the
NorPac in aces with 21.
Tonight's contest will also serve as a
warmup for the 'Dogs for Friday night's
matchup with ihe Ito-Yokado Japanese
All-Stars in the North Gym.
'Dog kickers face Gauchos
The Bulldog soccer team will try to     up a record nine-game winning streak,
break its three game losingstreak today    Their current losing streak include losses to the University of San Francisco
(5^1). the University of California at
Berkeley (W). and UCLA (2-1).
To stop the Gauchos in the non-
conference game, the Bulldogs must
stop high-scoring forward Scott
Grasinger.
Grasinger, UCSB's all-time leading
scorer, has booted l7goals in I7games
this season — over half of the team total
of 33. Last weekend alone, Grasinger
banged home five goals with a hat trick
against the ■University of San Diego and
a two-goal performance against Loyola
Marymount University. The Gauchos,
12-3-2, won both games.
Statistics would give the edge in tonight's game to the Gauchos, given
CSUF's 2-5-0 road record and UCSB's
4-0-2 mark in overtime games. The
Gauchos are ranked seventh in the Far
West. The Bulldogs have dropped out
of the rankings.
Forwards Mark Masich and midfielder Randy Prescott lead the Bulldogs with six goals apiece. Kenneth
Mays, Per Benjaminsen and Mitchell
Ribera each have four assists to lead

streaks for the Bulldogs, now 9-8-0.
After opening the season with a five- UCSB goalkeeper Steve Tipping has
game losing streak, the Bulldogs rolled l recorded five shutouts this season. _■
