The California State University

T he individual California State Colleges were brought together as a system by the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960. In 1972 the system became The California State University and Colleges and in 1982 the system became The California State University. Today, 17 of the 19 campuses have the title "u niversity." The oldest campus-San Jose State Un iversity-was founded as a Normal School In 1857 and became the first institution of public higher education in California. The newest campusCalifornia State College, Bakersfield-began instruction In 1970. Responsibility for The California State University is vested in the Board of Trustees, whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Trustees appoint the Chancellor, who is the chief executive officer of the system, and the Presidents, who are the chief executive officers on the respective campuses. The Trustees, the Chancellor, and the Presidents develop systemwide polley, with actual implementation at the campus level taking place through broadly based consultative procedures, The Academic Senate of The California State University, made up of elected representatives of the faculty from each campus, recommends academic policy to the Board of Trustees through the Chancellor. Academic excellence has been achieved by The California State University through a distinguished faculty, whose primary responsibility is superior teaching. While each campus in the system has its own unique geographic and curricular character, all campuses, as multipurpose institutions, offer undergraduate and graduate instruction for professional and occupational goals as well as broad liberal education. All of the carnpuses require for graduation a basic program of "General Education-Breadth Requirements" regardless of the type of bachelor's degree or major field selected . by the student

6

The CSU offers rnore than 1,500 bachelor's and master's degree programs in some 200 subject areas. Nearly 500 at these programs are offered so that students can complete all upper-division and graduate requirements by part-time late afternoon and evening study. In addition, a variety at teaching and school service credential programs are available. A limited number of doctoral degrees are offered jointly with the University of California and with private institutions in California. The Consortium of the CSU draws on the resources of the 19 campuses to offer regional and statewide off-campus degree, certificate, and credential programs to individuals who find it difficult or impossible to attend classes on a campus. In addition to Consortium programs, individual campuses also offer external degree programs.

Ttle University's History CSU, Fresno is the sixth oldest In The California State University system. It began with the establishment of the first junior college in California in 1910 and a state normal school in 1911 which, under a single administration, offered two-year programs in general and vocational training and in teacher preparation. Between 1911 and 1921 a campus was built on University Avenue, then the northern border of Fresno. In 1921 the combined schools became Fresno State Teachers College, authorized to offer a four-year program and grant the bachelor of arts degree In teaching. In 1935, by act of the Legislature, the official designation became Fresno State College. A variety of degree programs in addition to those related to the teaching credential were authorized at that time. Following World War II, expansion was accelerated, both academically and physically. The first

master's degree was offered in 1949; today It is offered In 42 fields of study. Between 1953 and 1958 the college was moved from the old campus site, by then surrounded by the City of Fresno, to a 1,41O-acre site six miles to the northeast. In 1961, under the newly created California State College system, the administration and control of the state colleges was transferred from the State Board of Education to an Independent board, the Trustees of the California State Colleges. By legislative action In 1972 the state college system became The California State University and Colleges, and In 1982 the system was renamed The California State University. The present official seal of the university was designed by artist and CSU, Fresno professor Darwin Musselman, who also created the new seal used by The California State University system. It Includes the "Iamp of learning" and the "book of knowledge". The Latin inscription "Lvcem Acclpe Vt Reddas" translates to "Receive the light that you may give It forth." The date 1911 refers to the founding year of the school. Between 1965 and 1968 an approximation of university organization was accomplished on the Fresno campus and the transition to official university status in the state system became effective on June 1, 1972. The university now comprises the Schools of Agriculture and Home Economics, Arts and Humanities, Business and Adminlstrative Sciences, Education and Human Development, Engineering, Health and Social Work, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, the Division of Extended Education, and the Division of Graduate Studies and Research. Fresno State College In 1911 had an enrollment of 150 students, most of whom were women. By 1940 the enrollment had increased to 2,000 students, by 1964, to 7,500. In the fall of 1984 more than 16,000 students registered. The Presidents, in order of tenure are: Charles L. McLane Frank W. Thomas Arnold E. Joyal Frederic W. Ness Karl L. Falk (Acting) Norman A.

• Hamilton

Lecturer: Health Science It was the first day of the semester. Terri A. Hamilton walked confidently to the front of the room, set her materials on the podium and addressed her class: "Is everyone here for sex?" Hamilton's sense of humor and knowledge In the field of human sexuality combine to generate the respect and admiration she commands from her students, and she seems to enjoy the class as much as they do.

"When / tirst started teaching, if was so enjoyable thai I thought, 'I can't believe they're paying me for thisl' " says Hamilton. HamiJton received a B.S. degree in health science and a master's degree in marriage, family, and child counseling at CSU, Fresno. She has been teaching human sexuality classes at the university for the past seven years and is currently a second-year dootoral student at the University of San

Francisco. In private practice, Hamilton is a sex therapist and a licensed marriage, family, and child counselor at the Center for Counseling and Psychotherapy in Visatia, where she and her husband work as a dual sex therapy team. She also devotes time to public speaking, including conference presentations, group lectures and radio and television shows, When she isn't pursuing her profession, Hamilton finds time to pilot private planes} snow and water ski, run in marathons, teach aerobics fitness clesses, and play softball.

Hamilton continued . . .

I discovered that learning more about human sexuality is really learning more about yourself. It affects every aspect of your life. Q: How did you become interested in teaching?

Q: What is the most challenging aspect of your job?

A: It was a career goal of mine since grammar school. I had excellent role models and I looked at my teachers with a sense of awe. They, were warm and considerate and I wanted to be like them, I think having a positive education had a lot to do with my decision to teach.

A: Trying to create a daily classroom environment that motivates students to be there and to learn. Students constantly challenge me by asking terrific questions. Their curiosity and interest demands that I stay on top of current developments in the field.

Q: Why did you choose to teach human sexuality?

A: Frequently, we go into areas which we want to know more about. The subject of sex education fascinated me, and I knew I would be much more effective teaching something that I was interested in. I discovered that learning more about human sexuality is really learning more about yourself. It affects every aspect at your life. It's a topic that will be valuable to my students both now and in the future. Q:

In what way?

A: Estimates show that 50% of all couples will experience sexually-related problems, The Masters and Johnson study indicates that one of the primary causes of these problems is ignorance. By teaching students about human sexuality and dispelling the myths commonly associated with it, we are minimizing the risk that those students will experience problems in their own relationships.

Q: At the time you received your specialized training, you were the

youngest sex therapist in the nation. What effect did that have on your teaching career? A: I knew as a young blonde female-stereotypically looked upon with skepticism-that I needed to be well prepared and know as much about the subject as possible. In the beginning, I read voraciously every night. I would spend four to five hours in preparation for my classes. After the first semester, I became more comfortable and felt more confident about teaching. I began to realize it was okay to say, "1 don't know. but I can find out for you:'

Q: What job opportunities are available someone who chooses to pursue a career in the field of human sexuality?

to

A: The opportunities go as far as your imagination and interests will carry you. Family planning agencies offer jobs in sex education and counseling. There are opportunities in the communities for health educators, and sometimes industries hire health consultants. Counseling centers offer jobs in specialized counseling, sex therapy, hypnosis, and assertiveness training. There are several options a Pf3rson could choose from. Q: What advice would you offer someone considering such a co:;treer?

A.: Because there are no universities in California that after a BA or B.S. degree in human sexuality, a person who chooses to remain in the state must put forth the extra eftort to become a competent, qualified professional. I would advise a person who is serious about choosing such a career, to pursue advanced training at an institute that offer masters' and Ph,D. degrees in human sexuality.i would also recommend self studies, internships, and membership in related national organizations. Q: What rewards can a career in human sexuality offer?

A: I get a lot of personal satisfaction out of knowing that what I teach my students is relevant. They will use that information for the rest of their lives. In my profession, I see so much pain; people are hurting inside. It makes me feel good to think that I can have a positive impact on their lives by making them aware that there are solutions,

us aq Hussain Professor of Civil Engineering As-a boy growing up in Pakistan, Mushtaq Hussain's fascination with bridges sparked an early career goal. By the time he was 12 years old, he had decided to become a civil engineer. "/ was convinced that the engineer who designed the Golden Gate Bridge was a greater artist than Picasso, " recalls Hussain. "{ could not imagine a higher cal/ing.!" Hussain, who has ten brothers and sisters, says his family placed a great Importance upon education. "Although the literacy rate in Pakistan is less than 25 percent, a/I ten of us were able to

complete a co/lege education. We a/I

had a very strong commitment. " It was during his years in engineering school that Hussain developed an

increasing interest in surveying engineering. Eventually, his professional interests in the area brought him to the United Slates "I found that in the United States, there were so many professional opportunities to pursue and I was constantty being challenged," he says. "I did go back to Pakistan tor about a year as a consultant, but it was impossible for me to maintain my professional interests. " Hussain, his

wife, and two sons returned to the US. and later became citizens. Today, Hussain is chairman of the Department of Civil and Surveying Engineering and remains active as an engineering consultant for private industry. He Is also a licensed civil engineer in the state of California.

Q: What is your area of specialization in civil engineering?

A:

My major area is surveying and photogrammetry, which is basically the science of making the precise measurements essentially required for civil engineering planning. Engineers have to know what exists on the earth's surface, as well as the differences In elevation, before they can plan a highway! or a dam and other irrigation structures, or any type of transmission line or pipeline. Knowledge of the terrain and the topographical features is absolutely essential for designing man-made structures. In the past, surveyors would go out to the site and take actual measurements on the surface of the earth. But during the second world war, the development of aviation made it possible to take aerial photographs from d'ifferent positions and use photog ram metric techniques to create an optical three-dimensional model of the land belOW. This technique continued through the early '70s. Then computer technology made it fea;:;ible to apply analytical principles and techniques for exacting precise measurements. Now we do a iot of measurements and data aquisition from aerial photography and other types of automated imagery by using computers. In fact, surveying engineering students are among the highest users of computing facilties on this campus.

Q: Has computer technology eliminated the n~ed for surveying engineers to have field experienc'e?

A: No, because you have to establish certain points as landmarks that serve

Hussain continued ...

as control for photog ram metric processing done in the office. That's why we have our students go out into the field to collect the Information necessary for the basis of their photogrammetric projects. Due to computers, they are learning to use more advanced techniques. For example, We are seeing more and more types of imagery being generated from satellites. (Satellites don't use conventional photography, even though the images look very much like photographs. They use devices such as radiometric scanners or radar which penetrate areas under cloud cover.) The current shuttle missions also have a major interest in mapping and the satellite industry has made it possible to image the entire earth within a ten-day cycle.

Q: Will you describe some of the practical applications of phoiQgrammetry information? A: The Information prOVided by modern imaging technology is so extensive that as engineers, our main challenge is to determine how we can automate and get the information processed rapidly. Once that is accomplished there are all kinds of interesting applications, including national resource planning, management and defense. Photogrammetric techniques are used to obtain a complete inventory of the nation's food and water supply, as well as measuring the amount of salinity in the soil. You can even rapidly predict what the volume of a particular crop will be during the coming year. This type of information-gathering is also used in planning our national security. For example, if our satellite measurements indicate that a particular country we aren't very friendly with will be having extensive crop failures, we can anticipate that they will be diverting a lot of their resources toward food, rather than spending it on military hardware. A more common application of photogrammetry would be the

Students must master the ability to communicate and express their ide~s. monitoring of landslide areas or dams where cracks have appeared. Other applications include the biomedical field where precise quantitative measurements can enable the engineer to design prosthetics and artificial limbs that are capable of performing-as precisely as possible-just like the human joints do. So photogrammetry encompasses many areas and offers a versatile solution for all types of measurement needs in engineering, construction, mining and industrial processes. Another advantage is that it is a non-contact system and you don't have to disturb the object that you are measuring. A measurement can be taken at a very close range or it can be taken from photographs which have been shot in space. It is a science that has a very strong mathematical and geometric basis, and it adapts well to the rapidly developing computer technology. Q: What makes the surveying engineering program at CSU, Fresno unique? A: First of all CSU, Fresno Is one of about six universities in the U.S. that offer a B.S. degree program in surveying and photogrammetry. In fact, in 1979 our surveying engineering program was the first program in the nation to be accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Because of the rapid technological advancements taking place in this field, there is increasing demand for college education for entry into the profession. Our program is progressively in step with the current developments in the field and it gives equal emphasis to both practical experience and

theoretical principles. Our faculty is highly competent and Is constantly striving to enhance the quality of the program. Our graduates are in demand, and that is very rewarding. Q: In order to become an engineer, what skills must a student dev~lop?

A: Engineering students should enjoy math and science, rather than approach it as a drudg~ry. I try to encourage my students to see geometric equations in their own minds so that eVentually they can visualize a problem automatically, along with the solution. Another very important skill that students must master is the ability to communicate and express their ideas. In fact, an engineer should be able to sketch an idea on paper, as well as express his or her ideas verbally to colleagues and clients. Computers are already making it easier to communicate ideas because now you can sit down at a graphics terminal and start designing with a light pen, make modifications very easily, and come up with the final design in a few minutes. Twenty years ago the same design might have taken you 30 days! Finally, I believe that there is a need for engineers to develop a strong ethical sense toward their profession. Sometimes shortcuts are taken or certain decisions are made based on economic restraints that are not the right decisions technologically. It students have the commitment to spend four years obtaining a degree in engineering, they should also have the lifelong commitment to be responsible professionals.

nen Kessler Professor of Philosophy When Warren Kessler was In high school, he enjoyed exploring Ihe theoretical aspects of a particular subject. In science classes he was more fascinated with the process of finding the solution to a problem, rather than with the solullon itself. In poiitlcal

science courses, he was interested in the nature of democracy versus elitism, rather than how the laws were actuaily made. Later, as a sophomore at Rutgers, Kessler took his first philosophy course. "I discovered that I was getting a straight dose of the theoretical and critical thinking aspect of various subjects that I had enjoyed, " explains Kessler. "It was like getting undiluted thought. Immediately, I was hookedl" Kessler decided to pursue his philosophy studies In graduate school and transferred to the University of Wisconsin. "I was fortunate to get a

teaching-assistant position during my second semester, and that was a rewarding experience, " Kessler says. ''At that time I began to consider

teaching as a career. " During the years of his residency, the University of Wisconsin became one of the major centers for Vietnam war protests. Kessler viewed his involvement in that period as an important part of his moral development. But the extremely cold Wisconsin winters eventually prompted him to seek greener pastures. "I traded in my earmuffs for a surfboard and moved to 'centrally located' Fresno, California," he says jokingly. Today, Warren Kessler teaches philosophy and ethics courses and is the Coordinator for the Applied Ethics Program at CSU, Fresno.

Q: Where do ethics fit into our advanced, technological society?

A: There was a period of time when both ethics and philosophy were

disregarded. Science and technology really took off, and people got carried away as if there were a technological soiution to every problem. But folks who have thought about these things know that techniques are means or tools by which people achieve certain ends, and although it's possible to use a tool without considering the end result, it isn't very wise. When we find ourselves with poisoned ground water, and air that we can't breathe, and we're terrified that the weapons we've created could destroy us, we're seeing examples of technology which may

have gotten out of hand. In some cases, technology has clearly been used without regard to ends. The theory that ideas which don't fall into a scientifically verifiable mold are meaningless was well respected for 15 to 20 years. But by the early '50s, philosophers raised serious questions about that approach, and people started looking at the consequences of doing business without regard to value. For educated people-whether In or outs'lde the realm of religious tradition-to set ethics on the back burner when they go to work is a terrible and tragic thing that
