A small grandmotherly woman wearing a bright
yellow pantsuit stands in the middle of CSUFs warehouse-style Farm Market and looks warily ai a large
table lhat sports only a few bags of almonds.
She catches the eye of a bearded young man longing
comfortably on top of a large meat freezer in the comer.
"Where are the vegetables?"
Marc Phillips adjusts his position on the freezer and
explains politely that vegetables won't be in season for
another month or so.
She gives the houseplants and dairy products scattered
around the market a cursory glance and quickly leaves.
Phillips, majoring in agronomy at CSUF, shakes his
head and hops down from his perch to talk about the
Market
"Without veggies, the Market's just not a happenin'
place."
In about a month, when fruits and vegetables come
into season, CSUF agriculture students will bring their
produce to the Farm Market, an extension of the Agriculture Foundation, and experience the business end of
farming firsthand
Pete Presligard, director of accounting for the Agriculture Foundation, explained that from planting to market the student projects are treated like real crops and the
Farm Market helps students see how the public reacts
to their produce.
An agriculture student who wants to farm a crop has
to go through much the same steps as "real farmers,"
Prestigard said
The student must present a budget to be approved by
the Foundation. If the budget is approved, the Foundation will supply the student with the necessary land,
equipment, fertilizer, seed and pesticides.
After the produce is sold and expenses paid whatever
profit is left over ^s split between the Foundation and
the student. Prestigard said the split is "roughly 35 percent to the student and 65 percent to the Foundation."
Prestigard added if the crop fails the Foundation absorbs the cost
Besides the Farm Market students can sell their produce to CSUF Food Services and outside produce com-

By Kendall Kerr
Staff Writer
Robert C. Gallo. the American discoverer of AIDS, spoke in the Satellite College Union Monday evening about retroviruses, focusing on the leukemia and
AIDS viruses.
Gallo is currently the chief of the Laboratory Tumor Cell Biology at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland
He discovered, in conjunction with a
French scientist, that AIDS is caused by a
new human retrovirus, HIV, and also developed the blood test used to delect the
virus.
Gallo discovered the first human retrovirus, HTLV-1, which is linked to the
cause of some human leukemias and lymphomas.
He began his lecture by discussing
where human retroviruses come from. Between 1977 and 1978, there was a general
feeling in the biomedical community that

Petition gets building off grounds
By Jennifer Whiteley
Staff Writer
The deplorable conditions of
the San Ramon 1 building have
led to a final approval for its demolition and replacement
Neal Happee, a business student at CSUF, read aboul the
condition of the San Ramon
building in the articles published
by The Daily C 'Mgian. "The
articles sparked an interest, so I
went and talked to a lot of faculty members," he said.
Happee and some other stu
dents started a petition to have
San Ramon 1 replaced. The petitioners circulated them for three
days and were able lo get over
1100 signatures.
After starling the petition,
Happee addressed the problem to
Scott Vick, chairperson for the
Associated Student Senate. Vick
said, "I wrote a resolution about
the poor condition of San Ramon 1 and presented it to the AS
Senate." The Senate passed the
resolution.
The resolution stated that all
students should be entitled to an
adequate learning environment It
was also noted lhat the building
had leaky ceilings, poor ventilation and that a student was recently hit by a falling light
fixture.
Vick said, "The San Ramon 1
was a temporary building which
was supposed to last for seven
years. It has now been 21 years."
The petition and the resolution were given to Paul Bis-
sonnette, assistant vice president
for Administration and External
Relations. Bissonneoe has a
scheduled meeting with the Chan
cellor's Office in Long Beach and
would present the documents
then.
"Everyone at the Chancellor's
Office was supportive of replacing San Ramon 1," Bissonneoe said However, getting
a contractor to do the job would
be more difficult "In order to get
a contractor for the job we have
to go through the State Department of General Services,"
Bissonneoe said
''' The State Department handles
all procurement for construction,
such as prisons, highways and
government buildings. They will
begin the pr^perwork, take the
job out to bid and select the
lowest bid £. r.
Removal and replacement of
San Ramon 1 is estimated at
S700.000 with work scheduled
to begin after the current semester is over. Bissonneoe said,
"We don'i have any control over
when it's done. We are hoping
[the Stale Department of General
Services] will get it done as
quickly as possible."
