Minor in
dance now
an option
By Anastasia Hendrix
Staff Writer
For the first time in CSUFs history, students who
have an interest in expanding their horizons through
dance have a new option.
In the past, dance was only offered as a major in the
department, but since last November it has also been
offered as a minor.
Many students who had shied away from majoring in
dance because there are few job opportunities available
are now able to enhance their knowledge of dance the¬
ory and technique, as well as majoring in a more mark¬
etable Held of study.
Theater arts major Tony Trbovich, who is currently
minoring in dance, said he believes thai it should have
been here a long time ago because "it gives people the
opportunity to dance for fun."
Lois Trestle, a dance professor and coordinator of the
program, agreed
"There are a la of people who love dancing," she
said. "The problem is that you can't make a living at
iL"
Instructors and students alike have been trying to
implement the program for about five years, but red
tape and paper work in the Chancellor's Office held
plans up for two years, and the minor still won't be
listed in the catalogue until f all.
Trrjstle estimated that there were about 10 dance min¬
ors currently involved in the program and looks forward
to a growing curriculum as exposure to the new minor
increases.
She also indicated that all majors are encouraged to
consider a course in dance. Like aerobics it is great ex-
cercise but "it also offers a chance to be expressive."
Liberal arts majors are of particular interest to the
dance program because Trostle and other dance instruc¬
tors have noticed a lack of movement training in el¬
ementary schools and they said they feel that dance and
expression arc just as important developmental^ as
other fine arts.
"When wc understand our movements we are more at
one with our environment," Trosde said. She also indi¬
cated that another advantage to the classes was that
people can become more efficient as well as increase
their physical abilities through dance instruction.
Ruth Griffin, who teaches many of the danee classes
offered with the option, added, "We're excited about iL
These limes there seem to be less interest in the
ans.,and there is still a need for developing human
potential"

Engineering gets computer
Department donated a $130,000 new, improved system
By Werner Kreuz
Staff Writer
The opportunity for engineering stu¬
dents to have a closer relationship wilh
their school computer has improved since
the Digital Equipment Corporation
(DEC) donated a new $130,000 computer
to the department.
"You cannot be an engineer without
being able to communicate with your
computer on a first-name basis," said Dr.
Mohamad A. Yousef. director of the com¬
puter-aided engineering laboratories at the
School of Engineering.
The new VAX 8350 computer is al¬
ready lined up wilh the older VAX 785 on
the second floor of the East Engineering
Building.
"With all lhat development work in the
computer industry, you will find that the
computers aire going down in size, getting
bigger in the performance and going down
in price," explained Yousef, who is also a
civil engineering professor.
Tbe new computer is only about one-
third the size of the older model, needs no
air-conditioning and adds 32 megabytes to
the existing 16 megabytes of memory and
working capacity.
The new capacity is needed since the
work performed on computers increases
more and more.
According to Yousef, engineering anal¬
ysis and design are done most often today
on a computer screen.
Tasks like stress analysis, kynomatics,
manufactural drawing or interpretation of
aerial photographs are mostly done with
computers as well. In electrical engineer¬
ing, the outlay of electrical circuits and
the analysis or simulation of work condi¬
tions for these circuits are done on com¬
puters.
"You need quite a bit of computer
horsepower to do all this," said Yousef,
who is responsible for the school's com¬
puter laboratories and development for
five years. .
"The software became more source-
intensive; that means the people de¬
manded more from their software and that
demands more computer power," he
continued.
A 16 megabyte computer was given to
