Earth First!
advocates
firing Munitz
By Shannon Wentworth
DC Managing editor
"Nothing you could imagine
this Halloween could possibly be
as scary as the Texas Chainsaw
Chancellor,'' Darryl Cherney, an
Earth First! activist, said during
the musical portion of the group's
visit to CSUF Thursday.
The group was on campus to
educate students about California
State University Chancellor Barry
Munitz's alleged involvement in
the destruction of ancient red¬
woods and the bankruptcy of the
fifth -largest savings and loan.
Munitz, who was chosen as
chancellor of the CSU system last
April, has been accused of dear
cutting forests via the Pacific
Lumber Company while he was
vice president of MAXXAM Corp.
MAXXAM Corporation ac¬
quired the 118-year-old Pacific
Lumber Company in a hostile
takeover in 1985 and proceeded to
cut the pension plan and begin
clear cutting. Prior to the takeover,

Fee deferment
put forward
By Aimee L. Fisher
DC Staff writer
A $150 bookstore fee deferment
for students who receive financial
aid has been proposed by ASI
President Andres Montoya.
The deferment would give the
students $150 credit at the Kennel
Bookstore if their financial aid
checks are late. If Montoya's pro¬
posal is accepted, the money would
be automatically cut from a
student's financial aid check when
it is received.
While all students are eligible
for up to $400 in emergency loans
through the Student Aid Account¬
ing Office, Montoya said many
financial aid students need that
money for rent or food before they
can buy textbooks.
He said proposals such as his
have been circulated in the past
but have met with resistance. He

Finally, someone is selling
VCRs in a parking lot, and ifs
legall
The local chapter of Pi Sigma
Epsilon, a professional business
marketing fraternity, will hold a
flea market Saturday, selling item s
x such as clothing, art, furniture and
electronics.
From 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. in a
parking lotatShawand Wood row,
the fraternity will raise money to
benefit the Leon S. Peters Business
Building and the School of Busi¬
ness and Administrative Sciences.
Unsold items will be donated
to the Marjoree Mason center and
the Disabled American Veterans.
Project manager Curt Thornton
said the items being sold were
donated primarily by PSE mem-
bers and their friends.
He said his committee tried to
solicit donations from business
faculty but were not particularly
successful.
"We didn't get much response,
even after calling back a couple
tunes," he said.
He said that with the donations
they did re-
"The whole
theme of
the flea
market is
bargaining."
Curt
ceive, PSE got
together "a
long couch, a
couple of TVs,
lamps, Christ¬
mas stuff ...
stuff you'd
expect to find
in a garage
sale"
The fraternity has a bike, paint¬
ings and some mounted posters.
There mightbe a coupleof beds
for sale as well, Thornton said.
PSE will :>ellcinnamonrollsand
hot chocolate in the morning and
hoi dogs and soda in the after¬
noon.
Louis Rich donated the hot dogs
for the event, and PSE purchased
condiments and buns and the cin¬
namon rolls.
Thornton's seven-person com¬
mittee organized the event in one
month, and he said getting ap¬
proval was a time-consuming
aspect of the project.
Thornton went first to student
activities, who directed him to Vice
President for Administration and
External Relations Lynn Hemink.
He cleared it next with Campus
Police, then was sent back to the
Officeof Student Activities, where
the paperwork continued.
"They forwarded it to someone
else, but they said I didn't have to
worry about it," Thornton said.
The fraternity is hoping to raise
at least $lv500 from the sale.
The whole theme of the flea
market is bargaining," Thornton
said.    ■**-   •    •
