by CSUF faculty members past and

originals and along with the books,
memos, newspaper articles and other
materials have come from the university's
archives, said Mahoney.
For sports fans, three encasements have
been filled with photographs and news¬
paper articles about athletes and teams in
Bulldog history by student employee Sean
Clark. Newcomers to CSUF may enjoy
seeing the copy of The Fresno Bee news¬
paper with a 2-inch, banner headline on
the front page reading. "BULLDOGS

Depaul for the 1983 National Invitation

"We needed such-and-such amount of
money to look credible to the (computer)
corporations." said Yousef.
Enter new Academic Vice President
Judith L. Kuipers last fall semester.
Yousef said Kuipers played a big role in
financing the cost of the new computer by
coming up with $ 100,000 for the engineer¬
ing school. With the interest shown by
Kuipers in the school's computer needs,
other "loose change" began coming in to
help meet the remaining cost of a new
"She really made it happen," he said.
Dr. Elden Shaw, the new dean of the
School of Engineering who arrived at
CSUF last June at the same time the com¬
puter did, knows the importance of com¬
puters in the engineering fields.
He came from San Jose State Univer¬
sity where he was chairman of computer
science in the engineering department and
director of computer science for engineer-
"The acquisition of the VAX is cer¬
tainly essential to our plans," said Shaw.
The new dean gave much credit to Kuip¬
ers for her role in the acquisition. "With¬
out her support and help, the School of
Engineering would not have been ahle to
get the computer," he said.
In addition to the new minicomputer,
Shaw has brought with him from San Jose
another minicomputer for the school'—
the Hewlett Packard 3000. Shaw said the
company gave him the used computer
along with a disc drive, printer and five
terminals. This older computer will be
used for student projects and research,
said Shaw.
The terminals, which will utilize Ihe
power from the VAX 11/78J.are made by
Tektronix. Yousef said six terminals, reg¬
ularly priced at $8,000 each, were pur¬
chased for $25,000 with the help of a grant
from Tektronix last year. He's hoping to
acquire six to nine more terminals to
create an adequate-sized laboratory for
students.
Also new to the School of Engineering
is the establishment of a computer labora¬
tory with 12 microcomputers that the
department has accumulated over ihe
years. This lab will service about 100 stu¬
dents each semester, mostly first semester
engineering students, said Yousef.
"We expect the pressure on this lab will
be enormous," Yousef said. "We are
throwing lines out to get better breaks on
more computers."
