After Pop Warner Lil' Scholars Inc.
accepted Jaime as a nominee, the Yose-
mite Middle School student set out to
prove his scholastic worth by completing
several essay tests, and Jaime came
through with flying colors.
"On my football team, I make sure
all the kids are doing well in school,'
remarked Mendez. "Citizenship arid
sportsmanship come first, then comes
football."
"We have a system where we put
stars on our players' helmets. One
star equals two unassisted tackles.
Well, Ernie finished the season with
28 stars on his helmed. That tells you
what kind of player he is. The funny
thing about it is that this was his second
season and he sat on the bench in his
first season."

On June 1, Jaime is scheduled to go
with his parents and coach to the Pop

Philadelphia, where he will be awarded
his trophy and be inducted into the Pop

the students'labor.
The vineyard Itself, is a profit-making
operation.
*We've never lost money on it since
I've been here,'said Petrucci.
U    The profits made go Into the school's
;• general foundation fund, which help out
1 the other agricultural student projects
r that aren't moneymakers.
I      Though the real purpose of the projects,* said Dokoozlian, 'Is to give the
students on-the-job experience, if there
was one Improvement that could be
made, It would be that  more  state
money would go into the general foundation to help the other agriculture projects.*
Besides one unit of credit, the students earn a percentage of what their
final products sell for. That percentage
is based on the variety of grape and its
intended purpose.
The maximum a student can earn is
1250 per acre. Any money taken In above
that figure goes to the school.
Recalling his own project, Jim Peterson, now a raisin technician for the viticulture department, said, "I sure wasn't
in it for the money. For the time I put
in, I probably didn't make more than
two dollars an hour.*
Peterson, whose father is a vineyard
manager in Cloverdale, north of Santa
Rosa, said he feels the most important
thing he learned with his project was
how to keep a complete, accurate set
Now Peterson is in charge of the inventory of the raisins. Many of the raisins, which are hand-packed by the students in cartons sporting a 'California
State University, Fresno, Student Pro-
. Ject* label, are used for public relations
purposes by school. administrators.
This year, for the first time, some of
the raisins were sold to the bookstore,
but the majority of the final product is
sold to Sun-Ma id Raisin Crowers.
Peterson dreams of eventually owning
his own vineyard, but he said he plans to
start out on the ladder working on someone else's vineyard first.
The starting salary for a vineyard
manager assistant, including a place to
stay on the property and a truck, is approximately $1,000 to 51,200 a month.
The feeling one gets by talking to people associated with CSUF's viticulture
program is that it is all the work of
Petrucd.
'As busy as he is, and as much as he
spreads himself thin,' said Peterson,
'he's always there when you need him.
He' s a good guy. A good man. *
Besides continuing to foster the
growth of CSUF's program, Petrucci
has been instrumental as a consultant
In China for Seagrams's, and most recently in Battle Creek Michigan for Kellogg s at Michigan State and also
Niagara Falls.      ,      .
He also participated in the Agriculture USA Exhibit in Russia two years
ago.
Presently Petrucci is overseeing an
operation in Afghanistan; and in March,
he will be traveling with a graduate
student to Texas A&M University to
aid in its viticulture program.
Among the many awards to his credit,
Petrucci won the Leon Adams Achievement Award at the Wine Industry Technical Seminar In January and was also
selected by 'Wines and Vines' magazine as 1980' s man of the year.
But Petrucci, a humble man, doesn't
want to take all of the credit. He said he
is thankful to be able to work with the
staff and graduate students at CSUF.
•You're looking at one proud papa
here,' he said. "We're really proud of
what we've done.*

Cornelius led the Tigers 1-5 with 14
points, giving him a total of 24 in the
two games against Fresno—far below
his 23.6 average before playing Fresno.
The Bulldogs will come home to face
University of California, Santa Barbara
Thursday night and then play California
State University, Fullerton Saturday
night at Selland Arena.
Santa Barbara nipped Fullerton twice
last week and has a 2-4 record. Fullerton
is 0-6.
Bulldog notes: Crant commented
after the UOP game that the difference
from last week's game and yesterday's
game was the turnovers.
UOP was forced to commit more than
20 turnovers during Thursday's game,
but had just 11 Sunday. The officiating
was also poor In Sunday's contest,
said some, but fortunately, or unfortunately, it was bad for both sides...It
wsa the second first for Crant this
season. Besides being the firs* time
Crant has won in ;The Pit," Crant also
received his first win in Logan, Utah
