Sand castles, elephants, male and female beauty c° nte j ts innertube races, parades and displays added pageantry to the historic celebration. CSUF administrators, faculty, students and alumni were joined by business leaders and local politicians at the $125-a-plate Silver Jubilee Ball in January. Billed as the biggest social event in the university ' s history, the ball also raised more than $130,000 for a newly-established CSUF endowment fund. Other activities during the year-long celebration included the Cole Porter dinner-theatre series and an appearance by former California Governor Edmund C. Brown Sr., who spoke on 25 Years of California Politics. The Communications Department held a week-long series of seminars and workshops organized around the theme Communications 2010: The Next 25 Years. The Theatre and Music Departments staged Don Giovanni at the Little Theatre, to rave reviews.
