Administration 3 CAL STATE FULLERTON CAMPUS California State University, Fullerton is a broadly based liberal arts institution that also offers many professional studies such as business administration, education, engineering and nursing. Having first offered classes in 1959, the university has grown to 23,000 stu- dents and achieved national distinction. In 1984, the university will host team handball competition at the Summer Olympics. It also will begin its 25th anniversary observance with the theme "Honoring the Past-Creat- ing the Future." The university's students come primarily from Southern California with many from other states and other nations. Most students commute each day to and from classes: many come to classes only in the evening. Drawn from throughout the world, the 750-member faculty is noted for its commitment to effective teaching and schclarly activity. Research is actively pursued, typically with students involved. The university enjoys full accreditation for its overall program. In addition, national recognition has been accorded to programs in art, athletic training, business, chemistry, education, engineering, communications, music, nursing, speech and hearing, and theater. All told there are 82 degree programs-40 of them at the graduate level. Reinforcing classroom instruction is the largest university level internship and coop- erative education program on the West Coast. The program allows students to gain on-the- job experience while continuing their regular studies. Another amenity is the extended education program. It provides classes, workshops, conferences and study tours on a year-round basis. Extended education offerings are open to the community without the formalities of regular admission to the university. Still another strong point is the university's cultural events program. It includes a series that brings nationally known professional artists to the campus for residencies as well as public performances and the Cabaret Repertory Theater Company, which performs regu- larly in Brea. , An extensive recreation program aimed chiefly at students but also open to community members is another highlight, as is the 7,OOO-personnetwork of community support organi- zations. The Titan Athletic Foundation is one of these support groups. Further examples of community outreach are the Fullerton Arboretum and TuckerWild- life Sanctuary. Opened in 1979, the Arboretum is a 25-acre on-campus preserve that was established jointly by the university and the City of Fullerton. Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary is a half-hour from campus in a canyon of the Santa Ana Mountains. To reinforce the university's commitment to high academic standards and community services, Cal State has embarked on an ambitious campaign called "Commitment to Mind- power."lts purpose is to raise the necessary non-state funding to make a very good univer- sity a great university.

"Sure," said Yogi quickly. "They have a good baseball program." In many parts of the country, Cal State Fullerton is synonymous with college base- ball. Ten consecutive conference titles, the 1979 national championship and the blos- soming of Tim Wallach as a star with the Montreal Expos have put Titan baseball on the map. Such accomplishments were far from the mind of Beryl Kempton when he volunteered to grade the first Cal State Fullerton diamond north of the gymnasium back in 1964. What had been a club team began play with a 13-man roster and a history professor as coach in Warren Beck. Physical education instructor Bill Fulton raised the program to a more competitive level but it was Augie Garrido's arrival in 1973 that set the stage for greatness. After a transitional losing season, Garrido quickly turned the program around with junior college players and won the California Collegiate Athletic Association title in 1974 to advance to the Far West Division II regional. The step up to Division I in 1975 only served to accelerate Fullerton's baseball growth. The Titans won the Pacific Coast Athletic Association crown and upset the reigning dynasty - USC - on its home field in the regionals. A short-lived trip to the College World Series in Omaha only served to whet the appetite for a return visit. The 1979 national championship team was saluted prior to a game at Dodger Stadium. 4 The string of championships continued with another PCAA title in 1976 and the first of seven consecutive Southern California Baseball Assn. crowns in 1977. This align- ment currently includes Pepperdine, UC Santa Barbara, Long Beach State, UC Irvine, Loyola-Marymount, University of San Diego and Nevada-Las Vegas and is one of the most powerful conferences in the nation.
