CAUFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDQthE e SPECIASundiaL EDITION l FALL 1983 Thematurinr umversity: a 25-year story ''By THAIR PETERSON «
Thirty year&ago, under orders from the state legislature, a group of state ^ politicians and educators began scouring the wide-open spaces of the San Fernando Valley to find a site for a state * college. It must have been difficult then to imagine a mature university serving nearly 30,000 students standing in this mainly agricultural region. With the appointment of Delmar^lT- • Oviatt as dean in September 1955, thc- coUege's first classes were held at the M initial site of San Fernando High School. About 800 students attended" evening courses taught by 10 professors. The planners' choice for a permanent site was a pumpkin patch in the ran ching community of Northridge. The infant school was the San Fernando Valley branch of Los Angeles State College of the Applied Arts, in the same way that UCLA had been the Southern Campus for UC Berkeley. ' Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on Jan. 4, 1956, and two weeks' later, construction began on^ 14 blue and brown bungalows that would be th^ temporary home for the new campus. Water and electricity were barely in stalled in time for the official dedication ceremonies Sept. 24, 1956, when the American flag and the California Bear were raised over the campus for the first time. By the start of the school's second semester, it had 1,748 students, a 20 percent increase over the fall's population. More than half were education majors, a pattern that would continue for the next several years. The school newspaper debuted on Registration Day, Feb. 1,1957. In place of the paper's name, there was a big question mark and a request for readers to give suggestions. The State Standard was tried, but by March had been discarded in favor of the State Sundial. The class of '57 liked sundials so much that it gave one to the school as its class gift, creating a landmark of sorts. The Sunburst, the school annual, also appeared that year. It contained few pictures of the campus' humble facilities. It chose instead to concentrate on the people and JbQundle^ op portunities at the school. "By July of 1958." it said, "we shall

What became the busflirtg~~ — community of Northridge was once home to Gabrielino ry Indians and pioneer ranchers. When explorers first came to the arid valley in the late 1760s, they discovered a cool oasis in its northe section. The watering hole was a gatherinK place for the Indians native to the area. The Gabrie;finos, who were responsible for place names such as Topanga and Tujunga, lost their nomadic freedom by 1767 when the San Fernando Mission was established nearby. In 1822, more than 1,000 Indians were working at the mission. Others had fled the area to escape the slave labor conditions. Mexico took over California during its revolt against Spain in the 1830s. Later, American forces decided to take over the territory and in 1846 Mexico sold a San Fernando Valley rancho 13 of square leagues to Eulogio de Celis, a native of Spain. Four years later, California was admitted to the Union and that year's census of Los Angeles County listed de Celis as a !*I,J 42-year-old agriculturist with real estate worth S20,000. The heirs of de Celis split up the land after his death. The northern half of the valley went to Senators George K. Pwter and Charles Maclay. Porter, who was interested in ranching, called the 56,000 acres the "Valley of the Cumberland." Maclay, who was more interested in settlement, called the land "the Garden of Eden." Porter's cousin, Benjamin, came to California to join him as a partner. The Southern Pacific Railway brought settlers to the area in the 1870s using incentives such as cut-rate fares and transportation of lumber for housing at half the regular rate. Free barbecues, hosted by Maclay, SIso were held to attract residents. Town lots, 25 by 100 feet, sold for S10 to $50 each. Farmland was sold at %5 to $40 per acre in 40-acre tracts. As the Valley began to develop, differences between the Porters and Maclay also developed. They decided to separate their holdings. By 1882 the three had amicably parted, each with about 20,000 acres.

It is difticuit tor someone who sees a campus with nearly 30,000 students to understand the sense of excitement these academic veterans must have felt when they first came here. „ Of course, excitement was not the very first reaction in every case. For those who made the arduous journey for the first time, what greeted them upon their arrival was not particularly impressive. Robert J. Williams gave up his job as dean of admissions at L.A. State to take on the same position at what was then L.A. State's valley branch. When he . drove up in the summer heat of 1956 to find little more than a squash patch, his initial reaction was, "What in the world have I done?" For Del Stelck, who headed the Social Sciences department in the early years, the first indication that he had arrived at the new school came when he saw a .makeshift sign with the school's name on it as he was driving west on Nordhoff Street. "So I turned north on this dirt road and there was this tree limb blocking the way. That was Zelzah," he said. Those who commuted in the early years did not find the going easy. The San Diego freeway had not yet « Daily Sundial been built and the only way to get to the Valley was prone to leak oil. "Reseda Boulevard was a very quiet little street," by taking Laurel Canyon Boulevard or Sepulveda .7 "When it got wet, it got slippery. When it rained, Stek^ recalled.

"We didn't have to clear it with anybody." The very situation which made the catalog so small also made administrative procedures much simpler.

It is one of the last big slices of open San Fernando Valley land. Last spring, CSUN'st.administrators announced a bold plan' to cash in on the gem without letting it go. They ' proposed that a private firm build an estimated $100 million worth of campus facilities. "What you're embarking on here could be one of the last great developments in the San Fernando Valley," said J oseph'Diorio, project manager for one of the firms that made a bid on the project.

In. the 1983-83 fiscal year, no money for new construction will be handed out in the entire California State University system. After looking at private-sector financing conditions CSUN officials came up with the plan: CSUN would provide the land and leave it up to the developer to find the wherewithal to fund the project.

By combining these studies with the thoughts of the various "futurists" who work on this campus, a picture of a 50-year-old CSUN begins to emerge. Generally speaking, the campus is in an ideal locatjon for the events of the next 25 years. Donald Perrin, who was director of the Instructional Media Center at the time of the "Toward 2000" study, Students will no longer have to type their reports, but will be able to dictate them into a computer terminal. noted that there are already new "Silicon Valleys" — electronics and computer building centers — developing in the Thousand Oaks, Newhall and San Diego areas. California will also be the focus of the communications industries and the television networks for the foreseeable future. There will be huge population growth in the area bounded by Bakersfield to the north, the mountains on the east, and the coastal plains on the west.

"Within the next 10 years on this site will rise a mature collegiate community of more than 20,000 students and scholars," Prator predicted in his inaugural address. It was decided in a student election that the school colors would be red and white. The official nickname would be the Matadors. Another color scheme seen ^ound campus was green and pink. Those were the colors of the beanies worn by the freshman class at registration, the first group of freshmen to be admitted to the campus. Another newcomer that year was history professor Julian Nava, who went on to become U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. The Foundation was chartered that year and given the responsibility -of providing textbooks, food and duplicating services to the campus and raising money for campus projects. In fall of 1958, the campus had its official beginning as San Fernando Valley State College, and acquired the cumbersome acronym of SFVSC. The school had about 3,300 students and 104 professors. Bachelor's degrees were offered in 16 subjects and a master's degree was available in nine fields. An advisory board was formed to guide the school. Chaired by Julian Beck, the founding force behind the college, its membership over the years would include Valley Times publisher Russell Quisenberry, Valley News publisher Ferdinand Mendenhall, and entertainment figures such as Francis Lederer, Ann Blythe McNulty, Steve Allen and Walter Mirisch. The school was fielding teams in basketball, track, swimming, water polo and baseball, but a yearbook of the time ^id the teams aroused as much interest as a bus schedule. Football was still an intramural sport. The South Library was the first building to be com pleted on campus and was dedicated on May 7,1959. The first year of success for the school's Forensics Society was 1960 and the team has since won scores of trophies in debates and public speaking contests. The year also saw the completion of Monterey Hall, a dormitory housing 207 women. The college took a rather protective view in those days toward young female students not living with their parents. Female minors -oould be denied admission to the campus if they refused to live in the dormitory unless their parents specifically requested otherwise. Male students were not subject to ^ this requirement. The campus started to get miklly political. Young Republican and Young Democrat groups sprang up in anticipation of the presidential campaign.

Staying little means winning at CSUN \0)ntimedjrompage30 huidle faced by many athletic programs is a high turnover rate for both players and coaches. But, while personnel changes at most schools may be rapid and widespread I from season to season, that hasn't been the case at CSUN. The administrative nucleus of the school's athletic I program looks like a team roster from one of those early SFVSC seasons: PeteCassidy, Pete Accardy, Hiegert, Dr. Sam Winningham, Don Bethe, Bill Cullum, Gary Torgeson. The list of people who are still associated with the athletic department in either coaching or teaching positions goes on and on. Such continuity is rare, especially in a profession where the pressure to win and win in a hurry has turned more than one young coach's hair gray and had him heading for the nearest airport with packed bags. But it is exactly that lack of pressure which has been I one of the cornerstones of CSUN's success. "For the most part," Hiegert said, "coaches here have been given the freedom to do their own thing and develop I their own teams without the pressure of winning im- I mediately. "1 think one of the things that sets this school aside is that, during the initial hiring of a coach, they are evaluated for their ability to work with other people as well as their expertise in their field. I don't think there has ever been a case where a coach has felt that if he didn't have a successful season, he was going to be fired." But CSUN's rags-to-riches climb has not been without I its problems. The one which has most seriou^y affected i the program is one which threatens the educational I process as a whole: finances. "in the early years," Hiegert said, "we had more [ problems with facilities and identity — just trying to get kids to come to our school. But after 17 or 18 years we I were pretty well established. That's when money became a major problem. CONGRATULATIONS CSUN 'H^e had more problems with facilities and identity — just trying to get kids to On 25 Beautiful Years come to our school. But after 17 or 18 I years we were pretty will established.' — Hiegert "In the last few years before Dr. Arnett left, 1 saw the need for additional funding. For a long time finances really weren't anybody's worry. But it got to point where we just couldn't compete with schools like Los Angeles State, Long Beach State and Fullerton on a recruiting basis. They just seemed to be doing a better job than we were financially. «- "In the past few years our thrust has been to get «iuitable funding for all sports. That gives coaches and athletes an honest shot at winning." Where does the CSUN athletic program go from here Probably on the road toward more national cham Vglleywide Enterprises Pionships, more national champions, more All-America ci [athletes and, as a result, greater visibility and national recognition.

E. major who graduated from CSUN in 198r*and became an LAPD Police Officer in 1982. Vick recently retired from LAPD and for two years has been an investigator for the CSUN Campus Police. Vickie, who maintains an expert marksmanship bonus, says she loves her job as patrol officer because she works in the field, meets a wide variety of people, and every day is different. Both Vickie and her father began their LAPD careers at Northeast Division. After Vickie, who has already promoted to Police Officer 11, gains more patrol experience she hopes to transfer to a vice or narcotics assignment. She's also planning to obtain a helicopter license so she can fiy an LAPD helicopter. Officer Wanek says there's nothing she doesn't like about the job except for the unoccupied time she spends outside the courtroom waiting to testify. In addition to raising pet angora rabbits and parakeets, exercising her green thumb, and redecorating her new home, Vickie runs eight to ten miles a day and works out with weights every other day. She says the physical exercise helps her to relax and to be prepared to meet the rigors of patrol work. Officer Wanek says that in her third year at CSUN when she decided not to go into teaching, her father suggested LAPD. Although she had been exposed to police philosophy all her life she had never really considered the jdb for herself, but the salary, benefits, variety and working conditions were just right for her. so ^e applied to LAPD, passed the tests and was hired.
