Student reserves to pay deficit
By Aimee L. Fisher
DC Staff writer
The ASI's $149,000 budget deficit will be
taken out of the student reserve account.
Legislative Vice-President Martin
Rodriguez's motion Tuesday "that we do
not accept any budget proposals that will
alter the normal budget process of the ASI
for the fiscal year," passed eight to four and
will allow all student clubs, organizations
and programs t o "co n tin ue with business as
usual," he said.
Senators Marci Demings, Stacey Louie,
Injury
spurs
safety
Craig Rose and Mary Helen Ortega voted
-against the motion. Senator Mario Flores
was absent.
These senators had been working on
alternate budget proposals which would
fund programs, clubs and organizations
with outside funds, Rose said.
"I think it's totally irresponsible to for¬
bid any proposals because there were fflo-
Vposals that were seeking outside sources of
^income," he said.
Rodriguez said, "Now the real battle is
with Dean (of Student Affairs William)
Corcoran who said he will not alio w us to go
into reserves to help student programs, dubs
and organization^"
During the meeting, Rose said Corcoran
had told him he would not allow the ASI to
use the reserve account to make up the defi¬
cit..
"Basically it's the University administra¬
tion obstructing the students' will to govern
themselves," Rodriguez said.
Former Administrative Vice President
Stacey Green said accounting and manage¬
ment are supporting the cuts proposed by
ASI President Andres Montoya because
they've already received their operating
budget for the year.
Prior to Rodriguez's motion, budget
concerns were discussed for about two and
a half hours. Many speakers in the audience
targeted the group Young Americans for
Freedom as being responsible forthe bud get
deficit.
YAF introduced the referendum that
lowered fees to $8 last spring. One student,
who left immediately after speaking, sug¬
gested YAF be banned from CSUF

to reinstate the $16 ASI fee after former YAF

Ceremony for Gandhi's birthday set.
•Students, groups invited to celebrate at peacemaker's bust today
In honor of Mahatma Gandhi's
122nd birthday, a garlanding cere¬
mony will be held at- the
peacemaker's bust.
Various-cultural groups, eth¬
nic groups and organizations ha ve
been invited to celebrate with flow¬
ers, garlands and meditation from
noon to 1 pjn. today on die north
side of the Henry Madden Library.
A replica of the great spiritual,
social, and political leader of India
was brought to campus a year ago
to provide a constant reminder of
the contributions and ideas that
Gandhi stood for human rights
across the globe.
And this ceremony will serve
as a reminder to reinforce the val¬
ues Gandhi stood for, said Su-
darshan Kapoor, social work edu¬
cation professor and Peace and
Conflict Studies chair.
"We want to promote a better
understanding among cultural
groups. Gandhi is a universal fig¬
ure and he has a universal mes-
"His message is much-more
relevant in the present times that
we are passing through," Kapoor
said.
Gandhi, Mohandas Kar-
amchand or Mahatma Gandhi (the
Great Souled), the leader of the
Indian nationalist movement
against British rule, was consid¬
ered to be the father of his country.
Gandhi preached a doctrine of
nonviolence to achieve political
and social progress in India which
earned him international recogni¬
tion.
Shocked by the social discrimi¬
nation he found in South Africa,
Gandhi entered into politics and
emerged as the head of the Indian
National Progress. His policy of
nonviolence led India to its inde¬
pendence in 1947.
The 900-pound bust of Gandhi
sits at the sight of a future peace
garden that will provide sanctu¬
ary and meditation for CSUF in
