CSUF Foundation to
honor Roger Jensen
By.Suzanne M. Colby
Staff Writer
Roger B. Jensen, a native of
Fresno, will be presented the
CSUF Foundalion Award during
this year's commencement cere¬
monies on May 27.
' The award serves as CSUFs
recognition of the accomplish¬
ments of valley community
members. It is considered to be
the most distinguished award of
its kind given by the university.
Jensen, an alumnus of CSUF,
said he was informed about the
award by Harold Haak, president
of CSUF, about two weeks ago.
"I was very elated and hon¬
ored—and excited," said Jensen.
An active businessman, Jen¬
sen has been the leader of a
number of businesses and associ¬
ations in the Fresno area.
He has been the president of
the S & J Ranch farming com¬
pany since 1970, he also serves
as president of both the Earii-
best Orange Association and (he
San Joaquin Citrus Company.
Jensen is active in a number
of -other agricultural organi¬
zations, but he is also a
supporter of a handful of "non-
agricultural" activities.
Though Jensen's contributions
to the community were factors
in choosing him as this year's
recipient of the CSUF
Foundation award, his invol¬
vement with numerous univer¬
sity programs was equally
important.
Jensen has played a key role
in the success and implemen¬
tation of the Ag-One support
group at CSUF.
Citing financial barriers that
many qualified students face,
Jensen said he felt the Ag-One
scholarships helped to attract
more students to the Agriculture
program at CSUF.
"We felt we had some awfully
good students out there who
needed a tittle financial help,"
said Jensen, referring to the
reasons for establishing the Ag-
One scholarships. "The quality
of     the     students     in     the
Agricultural   school   has   been
enhanced."
Jensen also stressed the
importance of community busi¬
ness support of academic pro¬
grams at CSUF.
"A lot of the people in the
community think a lot of the
support has gone to the athletic
programs," said Jensen. "We
need to identify ourselves as
supporting the university academ¬
ic programs as well."
Jensen said he considers
community support of CSUF
activities to be a rewarding
investmenL "It's beneficial for
the university and for the
community," he said.
Because of the importance of
agribusiness to Fresno, Jensen
said, continued "investments"
were vital to both CSUF and the
community.
"I think the [CSUF] business
school and ag school in
particular are important to the
needs of the valley as [Fresno] is
a center for world agriculture,"
said Jensen.
New computer will aid
students with research
Library's INFOTRAC to help find materials
By Johanna Munoz
Staff Writer
Students will now be able to
get reference materials quickly
and convieniemly thanks to a
new computer system at the
Henry Madden library.
The new system, INFO¬
TRAC, allows the user to search
two major indexes by names and
by subjects instead of using the
card catalogs.
INFOTRACs two indexes
give the user access to infor¬
mation covering over an eight-
year period and from over 1,100
.periodicals.
The two indexes contained in
the file are the National News¬
paper Index and  the General
Periodical Index.
"It's fun, easy to use, and the
student can get a printout of the
citation," said acting head of the
Reference Department, Diane
Majors.
Currendy, the library has two
computers in operation and is
waiting for two more to be set
up. The two that need to be set
up require their own electrical
outlets in order to begin
operating.
The library up until now
leased the system's hardware and
software on a yearly basis from
INFOTRAC at approximately
$5,150 a year.
The two computers in oper¬
ation are located in the first
floor reference area along with
other computers that contain
other  information  centers  for
dents get
hall directors
, According to Majors "the idea
is to have clusters of computers
in the reference area downstairs."
INFOTRAC would be part of
that cluster.
The system gives users the
choice between the two indexes,
said Majors.
"Then you can put anything
you want in, the same as those
headings that are found in the
card catalog," such as the one in
the Library of Congress, said
