Spanos gives S100,000
for Sports Complex
The Sports Complex, soon to become
a major addition to the university's ath
letic facilities, received a major boost
with a $100,000 contribution from one of
Cal Poly 's most distinguished alumni.
Alex G . Spanos, owner of the A. G.
Spanos Companies, is best known in the
sports world as owner of the San Diego
Chargers of the National Football League.
Spanos's donation helps assure devel
opment of the Sports Complex, consist
ing of separate baseball and softball
stadi ums and at least six all-purpose
playing fie lds.
With his $100,000 gift, Spanos joins
14 other couples and contributors as a
founder of the Sports Complex. The oth
ers are ASI; San Luis Obispo residents
Richard and Joyce Andrews, Robin and
Barbara Baggett, Dave and Vickie
Billingsley, Everett and Arlene Chandler,
and Bob and Mary Neal; Bobby and
Christine Beathard of San Diego; Bob
and Joan Cardoza and Tom and Karen
Gallo, Modesto; Dave and Diane Hyde,
Visalia; Richard O'Neill, San Juan
Capistrano; Lucy Thomas, Mountain
View; the Robert Janssen Foundation
Inc. of San Luis Obispo ; and Peps i-Cola.
Spanos attended Cal Poly in the early
1940s and was named a Distinguished
Alumnus in 1974. D
The Nov. 3 e lection ballot contains a
$9.2 billion education construction and
safety bond measure, Proposition lA,
that includes approximately $10.7 mil
lion for future projects at Cal Poly.
The major Cal Poly project Prop . 1A
would enable is a joint engineering and
architecture facility with s tate-of-the
art technology.
If approved by voters, the four-year
bond will provide a total of $832 million
for the 23-campus CSU system.
The majority of Prop. lA's revenue
$6.7 billion- will provide funds to
the K-12 system for repairs of older
buildings , new construction to reduce
overcrowding, seismic retrofitting,
new wiring for computers, and science
lab improvements. The remainder of
the bond's revenue would be split
evenly among the state's community
colleges, the University of California,
and the CSU .
The three main CSU needs that the
bond would address are upgrades to cor
rect structural, health and safety code
deficiencies; renovations to make new
facilities operable, including technology
upgrades ; and new faci lities to allow
more students to attend the CSU. D
Energy, renovation audits
getting underway
Facilities Planning has hired Enron
Energy Services and RRM Design Group
to perform an energy audit and a class
room renovation study intended to aid
the campus's educational mi ss ion and
reduce energy costs.
On Monday, Nov. 2, Enron will begin
looking at classrooms. The work won't
interrupt classes. Departments and of
fices will be notified before Enron begins
looking at other buildings.
For the renovation study, RRM has
already begun looking at classrooms and
contacting department representatives.

Spanos gives S100,000
for Sports Complex
The Sports Complex, soon to become
a major addition to the university's ath
letic facilities, received a major boost
with a $100,000 contribution from one of
Cal Poly 's most distinguished alumni.
Alex G . Spanos, owner of the A. G.
Spanos Companies, is best known in the
sports world as owner of the San Diego
Chargers of the National Football League.
Spanos's donation helps assure devel
opment of the Sports Complex, consist
ing of separate baseball and softball
stadi ums and at least six all-purpose
playing fie lds.
With his $100,000 gift, Spanos joins
14 other couples and contributors as a
founder of the Sports Complex. The oth
ers are ASI; San Luis Obispo residents
Richard and Joyce Andrews, Robin and
Barbara Baggett, Dave and Vickie
Billingsley, Everett and Arlene Chandler,
and Bob and Mary Neal; Bobby and
Christine Beathard of San Diego; Bob
and Joan Cardoza and Tom and Karen
Gallo, Modesto; Dave and Diane Hyde,
Visalia; Richard O'Neill, San Juan
Capistrano; Lucy Thomas, Mountain
View; the Robert Janssen Foundation
Inc. of San Luis Obispo ; and Peps i-Cola.
Spanos attended Cal Poly in the early
1940s and was named a Distinguished
Alumnus in 1974. D
The Nov. 3 e lection ballot contains a
$9.2 billion education construction and
safety bond measure, Proposition lA,
that includes approximately $10.7 mil
lion for future projects at Cal Poly.
The major Cal Poly project Prop . 1A
would enable is a joint engineering and
architecture facility with s tate-of-the
art technology.
If approved by voters, the four-year
bond will provide a total of $832 million
for the 23-campus CSU system.
The majority of Prop. lA's revenue
$6.7 billion- will provide funds to
the K-12 system for repairs of older
buildings , new construction to reduce
overcrowding, seismic retrofitting,
new wiring for computers, and science
lab improvements. The remainder of
the bond's revenue would be split
evenly among the state's community
colleges, the University of California,
and the CSU .
The three main CSU needs that the
bond would address are upgrades to cor
rect structural, health and safety code
deficiencies; renovations to make new
facilities operable, including technology
upgrades ; and new faci lities to allow
more students to attend the CSU. D
Energy, renovation audits
getting underway
Facilities Planning has hired Enron
Energy Services and RRM Design Group
to perform an energy audit and a class
room renovation study intended to aid
the campus's educational mi ss ion and
reduce energy costs.
On Monday, Nov. 2, Enron will begin
looking at classrooms. The work won't
interrupt classes. Departments and of
fices will be notified before Enron begins
looking at other buildings.
For the renovation study, RRM has
already begun looking at classrooms and
contacting department representatives.

Spanos gives S100,000
for Sports Complex
The Sports Complex, soon to become
a major addition to the university's ath
letic facilities, received a major boost
with a $100,000 contribution from one of
Cal Poly 's most distinguished alumni.
Alex G . Spanos, owner of the A. G.
Spanos Companies, is best known in the
sports world as owner of the San Diego
Chargers of the National Football League.
Spanos's donation helps assure devel
opment of the Sports Complex, consist
ing of separate baseball and softball
stadi ums and at least six all-purpose
playing fie lds.
With his $100,000 gift, Spanos joins
14 other couples and contributors as a
founder of the Sports Complex. The oth
ers are ASI; San Luis Obispo residents
Richard and Joyce Andrews, Robin and
Barbara Baggett, Dave and Vickie
Billingsley, Everett and Arlene Chandler,
and Bob and Mary Neal; Bobby and
Christine Beathard of San Diego; Bob
and Joan Cardoza and Tom and Karen
Gallo, Modesto; Dave and Diane Hyde,
Visalia; Richard O'Neill, San Juan
Capistrano; Lucy Thomas, Mountain
View; the Robert Janssen Foundation
Inc. of San Luis Obispo ; and Peps i-Cola.
Spanos attended Cal Poly in the early
1940s and was named a Distinguished
Alumnus in 1974. D
The Nov. 3 e lection ballot contains a
$9.2 billion education construction and
safety bond measure, Proposition lA,
that includes approximately $10.7 mil
lion for future projects at Cal Poly.
The major Cal Poly project Prop . 1A
would enable is a joint engineering and
architecture facility with s tate-of-the
art technology.
If approved by voters, the four-year
bond will provide a total of $832 million
for the 23-campus CSU system.
The majority of Prop. lA's revenue
$6.7 billion- will provide funds to
the K-12 system for repairs of older
buildings , new construction to reduce
overcrowding, seismic retrofitting,
new wiring for computers, and science
lab improvements. The remainder of
the bond's revenue would be split
evenly among the state's community
colleges, the University of California,
and the CSU .
The three main CSU needs that the
bond would address are upgrades to cor
rect structural, health and safety code
deficiencies; renovations to make new
facilities operable, including technology
upgrades ; and new faci lities to allow
more students to attend the CSU. D
Energy, renovation audits
getting underway
Facilities Planning has hired Enron
Energy Services and RRM Design Group
to perform an energy audit and a class
room renovation study intended to aid
the campus's educational mi ss ion and
reduce energy costs.
On Monday, Nov. 2, Enron will begin
looking at classrooms. The work won't
interrupt classes. Departments and of
fices will be notified before Enron begins
looking at other buildings.
For the renovation study, RRM has
already begun looking at classrooms and
contacting department representatives.

Building permits required
on construction projects
Facilities Planning reminds campus de
partments that all construction projects
big or small - must go through the cam
pus building permit application process.
Student projects and departments and
offices that undertake projects with their
own resources must also apply for a build
ing permit. A permit is required when:
• Campus walls, doors, windows, or
other building elements are modified;
• Electrical or mechanical elements
are modified or expanded;
• Energy consumption is increased ;
• Access for the disabled is at issue;
• Hazardous materials such as asbes
tos or lead are exposed, disturbed or re
moved; or
• Exterior signs are installed.
If in doubt about whether a permit is
required, please call Deby Ryan, Facili
ties Planning, at ext. 6-6806.
It takes between one week and several
months, depending on the size of the
project, to process the building permit.
Applications for all summer projects
must be received by April 15 or the work
might not be approved in time.
To obtain a building permit applica
tion and more detailed information on
the building permit process, visit the

In the Oct. 7 issue of the Cal Poly

mispelled. Giacona served as director of
University Advancement's Prospect

At least we're consistent ... both his first
and last names were spelled incorrectly.

Spanos gives S100,000
for Sports Complex
The Sports Complex, soon to become
a major addition to the university's ath
letic facilities, received a major boost
with a $100,000 contribution from one of
Cal Poly 's most distinguished alumni.
Alex G . Spanos, owner of the A. G.
Spanos Companies, is best known in the
sports world as owner of the San Diego
Chargers of the National Football League.
Spanos's donation helps assure devel
opment of the Sports Complex, consist
ing of separate baseball and softball
stadi ums and at least six all-purpose
playing fie lds.
With his $100,000 gift, Spanos joins
14 other couples and contributors as a
founder of the Sports Complex. The oth
ers are ASI; San Luis Obispo residents
Richard and Joyce Andrews, Robin and
Barbara Baggett, Dave and Vickie
Billingsley, Everett and Arlene Chandler,
and Bob and Mary Neal; Bobby and
Christine Beathard of San Diego; Bob
and Joan Cardoza and Tom and Karen
Gallo, Modesto; Dave and Diane Hyde,
Visalia; Richard O'Neill, San Juan
Capistrano; Lucy Thomas, Mountain
View; the Robert Janssen Foundation
Inc. of San Luis Obispo ; and Peps i-Cola.
Spanos attended Cal Poly in the early
1940s and was named a Distinguished
Alumnus in 1974. D
The Nov. 3 e lection ballot contains a
$9.2 billion education construction and
safety bond measure, Proposition lA,
that includes approximately $10.7 mil
lion for future projects at Cal Poly.
The major Cal Poly project Prop . 1A
would enable is a joint engineering and
architecture facility with s tate-of-the
art technology.
If approved by voters, the four-year
bond will provide a total of $832 million
for the 23-campus CSU system.
The majority of Prop. lA's revenue
$6.7 billion- will provide funds to
the K-12 system for repairs of older
buildings , new construction to reduce
overcrowding, seismic retrofitting,
new wiring for computers, and science
lab improvements. The remainder of
the bond's revenue would be split
evenly among the state's community
colleges, the University of California,
and the CSU .
The three main CSU needs that the
bond would address are upgrades to cor
rect structural, health and safety code
deficiencies; renovations to make new
facilities operable, including technology
upgrades ; and new faci lities to allow
more students to attend the CSU. D
Energy, renovation audits
getting underway
Facilities Planning has hired Enron
Energy Services and RRM Design Group
to perform an energy audit and a class
room renovation study intended to aid
the campus's educational mi ss ion and
reduce energy costs.
On Monday, Nov. 2, Enron will begin
looking at classrooms. The work won't
interrupt classes. Departments and of
fices will be notified before Enron begins
looking at other buildings.
For the renovation study, RRM has
already begun looking at classrooms and
contacting department representatives.
