av so - Capital Collegian CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SACRAMENTO California State University, Sacramento is California’s Capital Campus CSUS’s unique location in California’s capital city, setting the University apart from other collegiate institutions, contributes immeasurably to the learning experience of the University’s students. The budget of the State of California, when compared to the nations of the world, ranks among the top five. Much of this budget is administered in downtown Sacramento, five miles west of the CSUS campus. The proximity of CSUS enhances the educational process in several ways: internships, part-time employment and career opportunities are readily available to students; and the many part-time faculty members bring to the CSUS classrooms the relevence of their concurrent professional employment in the governmental process. Unlike some colleges surrounded by an “‘ivy- covered”’ wall, CSUS is a college without walls! The University, its students, faculty and staff share a close working relationship with the community. The greater Sacramento area, with approximately 1.3 million residents, is one of the fastest “It’s an Ideal Location for This Vital University.” growing metropolitan communities of its size in the nation. The reasons for this growth include healthy employment rates and economic development, and a high quality of life. CSUS’s central location in the community and freeway proximity make it one of the most accessible of the 19 CSU campuses to both private and public transportation. Most sites in the greater Sacramento area can be reached in less than one-half hour from the campus doorstep. The Sierra-Tahoe recreational areas and the many historic, cultural and recreational sites of San Francisco are only a two-hour drive from the Campus. CSUS Offers A Beautiful Campus Setting The location of the CSUS campus, located alongside the historic American River on the eastern edge of Sacramento, is as vital now as it was more than 100 years ago when the site served as the western trailhead for the Pony Express. Originally housed on the campus of the Sacramento Junior College, the University moved to its present site of nearly 300 acres in 1955. The tree-studded Campus, with over 25 buildings, has an enrollment of more than 24,000 students. Projected enrollment increases have prompted a flurry of planned facility developments in the next few years, including a new engineering building, a five-story classroom building, a major library addition, a new children’s center, a second story addition to the bookstore, and a multi-level parking garage. Also planned is a major addition to the residence halls, currently housing more than 1,000 single students in facilities among the most attractive in California public higher { | 2. a aw “Major Campus Construction is Underway to Meet Student Needs” education. An important adjunct to the campus is the Aquatics Center, located on Lake Natomas, ten miles east of the campus The center provides water sports safety classroom instruction and recreationa activities and since 1985 has served as the host of the prestigious Pacific Coast Rowing Championships. CSUS’s Student Life-Activities, Services, Opportunities! “Something for everyone—and more!”’ truly reflects the variety of activities available to CSUS students both on campus and in the community. The Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) provide s the framework for many Campus based activities. Operating on a budget of nearly $1 million dollars a year, ASI sponsors a variety of activities and services, including recreational outings, a bike shop, child care center, community garden and an aquatics center. The University Union is the center of campus activity. The Union provides food service options, from a snack to a full course meal, recreational activities and a place to relax or study between classes. A continuous variety of free entertainment is conducted in the Union including concerts, films, performing arts, speakers, dances, etc. Also found on the CSUS Campus are over 150 student organizations including cultural, departmental professional, service, recreational, fraternities and sororities, honorary, religious and special interest groups. Residence hall students have their own activity program, complemented by lighted tennis and basketball courts, swimming pool and sauna. If that’s not enough, students can walk across the Guy West Bridge to the several coffeehouses along University Avenue, take in a Sacramento Kings game at Arco Arena, visit the Railroad Museum, History Center and Crocker Art Gallery in downtown Sacramento or participate in the night life in “Old Sacramento.”’ oe) a) Ce ee) 1 eg Lg ep fo bem 1 be] bmp Coen) gy rand 7 oF 8 Ce cae mee Cr ee ps : : ON ee ee ‘Something for Everyone—and More!” CSUS Offers Athletics for Both Spectators and Participants Intercollegiate and intramural athletics are an important part of campus life at CSUS. In the near future, all intercollegiate athletics will be Division 1 (except football). The facilities are among the best in the area. CSUS offers scholarships to men in Basketball, Baseball, and Football and to women in Basketball, Softball, and Volleyball. “The Big Game Is a Series of Events, Parties, and Festivities.” CSUS Enrolls A Rich and Diverse Blend of Students CSUS students come from every “nook and cranny” of the community, from across the state and nation, and from throughout the world. The University provides students from these very diverse backgrounds with a rare opportunity to interact with each other intellectually, culturally and socially in a collegiate setting. More than 100 nations are represented in the University’s student community. Likewise, a number of CSUS students enroll at cooperating overseas universities, and earn credit toward degree owe ” wate ie objectives, as part of the prestigious California State University International Programs. The University is continuing and strengthening its attempts to attract and retain students from ethnic minority, low income, and other backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in higher education. This “educational equity”’ effort involves the entire University community. Offices providing specific assistance to non- traditional students include: Student Affirmative Action, the Educational +e - Opportunity Program, Students with Disabilities, and CAMP. Their efforts are suplemented by specific advising and academic preparation programs provided by the faculty. Although over ninety percent of the approximately 1500 new freshmen are nineteen years old or younger the average student age remains in the mid-20’s. The PASAR program serves the increasing number of older students who are “‘re-entering’’, often after a long lapse in their education. There’s a Lot Going On at CSUS | | CSUS’s Instructional Programs Offer Academic Challenges and Opportunities The strength of the University’s instructional program is the commitment of its faculty to teaching and undergraduate education. Full professors, teaching at all class levels, bring with them just the right blend of theoretical training and professional experience. CSUS students are not lost in a vast educational machine as is often the case at many other large collegiate institutions. The University’s reputation of “Big, but not too big’’ is well illustrated in the classroom. Class size is less than what would be expected in a university the size of CSUS. More than 85% of the classes enroll less than 30 students, while more than 97% enroll less than 50 students.

Scott Crider was first in the critical analysis category. Nedra Evers took second place, and Marijean Gallo- way, honorable mention. Crider won honorable mention in the same category last year. In short fiction Steve Cook took the top award, Marshall, second, and Laura Lynn Russell, honorable mention. John Anton Piller won the award for poetry and Maria Fernandez was second. Senior English major Mark Zeman took an honorable mention with his poem “Rally Flyer,’’ making him the first participant to place in all four divisions of the competition. Zeman was a winner in the critical analysis category in 1988 and in ex- pository prose and short fiction in The contest, named in honor of the late university administrator and English Professor Dominic J. Bazzan- REFUGEE’S STORY OF CAMBODIA WINS PRIZE ella, is the largest endowed colle- giate literary competition of its kind in the country, according to Olm- stead. “The competition is unique in the amount of prize money, the number of categories and the fact that it’s open to all students,’’ he said. Inaugurated in 1980, the compe- tition got by initially on small contri- butions from the campus and the local community for its prize money. The awards were correspondingly small — $400 for first place, $25 for second. In 1984 Sacramento busi- nessman and frequent CSUS bene- factor Angelo Tsakopoulos came on board with a commitment to es- tablish an endowment fund that will eventually total $20,000. With donations from new contri- butors, interest from the endow- ment and supplemental gifts from Tsakopoulos, the Bazzanella contest now offer $500 for first place in each category of competition and $100 for second. With the growth of the monetary award has come increased status. HORNET BASEBALL GRABS BRASS RING Mike Wood Staff Writer The Hornet baseball team achieved a tremen- dous milestone when it was ranked No. 14 in the nation in the latest NCAA Division || poll, which was released Monday. The honor of being named No. 1 was under- scored by the fact that the vote for CSUS was unanimous. This was the first time ever that the Hornet baseball team has been ranked No. |. WE'RE NO. 41! WE'RE NO. 4! WE'RE NO. 1! CSUS HEADS FOR FROZEN NORTH Joe Krieg Staff Writer Since a football team plays only once a week, each game is considered ‘a big game” to the participants. But when CSUS Head Coach Bob Mattos and his Hornets take the field against the North Dakota State Bison tomorrow in the third round of the NCAA Division II playoffs, they‘ll know some games are bigger then others. Tomorrow's game will end the season for one team and extend the other's by one game: the championship game in Florence, Ala. on Dec. 10. The top-ranked Bison have established themselves as a perennial powerhouse when it comes to Division || football. They have competed in five championships in the 80’s and won three of the them, including back to back titles in 1985 and 1986. This season they compiled a 12-0 record and advanced to the third round by beating Millersville, Pa, 36-26 after trailing 20-6. CSUS is having its finest season at 10-2 and has made a lasting impression in its first Division Il playoff appearance. The Hornets reached the third round by clobbering North Carolina Central 56-7 last Saturday. They beat rival UC Davis the previous week The Hornets are bubbling over with confidence — and with good reason. In the past three weeks they have outscored their opponents 152-24 “We have the right chemistry and a lot of confidence right now,’’ said Mattos. “'! feel we can beat anyone right now. Our guys believe in themselves, That's the bottom line.” Though the game will be played on the cold Astroturf in Fargo, N.D., Mattos remains undaunted. After all, the Hornets were willing to play in Siberia, so they can’t be too disappointed with North Dakota CSUS has been comfortable on the road this season, picking up four big wins away from home. Toomey Field in Davis was where the Hornets both ended their 18-year Causeway Classic drought and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. They beat the University of the Pacific Tigers in Stockton and travelled to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo where they rallied from a 15-point deficit to defeat the Mustangs. Both teams have exhibited offenses that can score a lot of points in a hurry The Bison offer a complicated version of the option offense, called the veer, something the Hornets haven't seen too much of this season. When run properly, it can be deadly and extremely tough to stop. CSUS had a sneak preview of this offense earlier this season against Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds picked apart the Hornets for 147 yards rushing in the first half, but CSUS shut them down in the second half, yielding only 30 yards after intermission — _ OUTSTANDING GRADUATES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR ACHIEVEMENTS Twenty-one outstanding graduating seniors at CSUS are to receive 1989 Senior Achievement Awards, Friday, May 419, at the annual President's Concert.
