Associated students productions Un Since 1977, Associated Stu- dents Productions (A.S.P.) has been keeping Cal State Fullerton enter- tained, aware and amused. With something for everybody, A.S.P. provides film, speaker and concert series, special events and pub enter- tainment. A.S.P. concerts bring in local bands and bands trying to make it big. Over the past year they have brought to campus such acts as Jaw Breaker, The Blue Hawaiians and Poncho Sanchez. This year ' s movie viewings in the Titan Theater have included such celluloid hits as Desperado, Toy Story and II Postino. All events are offered at discounted rates with many being free to all students. The speaker series highlighted A.S.P. ' s events this year with over 1000 coming out to hear a lecture given in the spring by Jesse Jackson. The concert series highlight was an appear- ance by surf guitarist Dick Dale at Springiest. A.S.P. chair Dave Gesk oversaw all the programs this year and commented that the best part of his job was the experience he gained working with the entertainment indus- try. For some, A.S.P. has launched careers into the entertainment field. This year ' s outdoor concerts coordina- tor Kari Hartkorn graduated in the spring and immediately began a job in records promotion for a company in Los Angeles. 20 Organizations (middle right) Speaker series coordinator Randy Thomas with Rev.

Another major event was an appearance by author talk-show hostess Dr. Bertice Berry as part of Black History Month celebra- tion. Other events have included a comedy show, speakers from the Sierra Club and a performance from flamenco guitar players. According to chairman Donald Willis, the goal of U.CP. is to foster a community spirit and bring students together. Cal State Fullerton is more than a commuter campus.
