other services," Welty said.
Welty said students have a
right to expect more services.
"Students should talk to the
financial aid off ice and explore
every avenue available to
them," said Welty.
Associated Students Inc.
President Andres Montoya
called the increase a
"conscientious attack on poor
people and those with low
incomes."
Montoya said the CSU
system is getting hurt more
than the UCs or community
colleges, because the CSUs are
more accessible to lower-
income students.
Welty said that enrollment
will stay the same as last year;
CSUF enrollment for Fall 1991
was 19^24.
Priority for admission will
be gi ven to continuing students
who are enrolled in the Spring
1992 semester and plan to
continue at CSUF for the Fall
1992 semester.
Within the pool of new
Kennel
Bookstore
students applying, priority will
be given to entering freshman
and upper-division transfers,
or to students transfeVring
from community colleges
where they have completed 56
units of lower division work
and are ready for work in their
major.
Lower priority will be given
to lower division transfers and
returning . tudents applying
for admission.
Some students at CSUF
have already been affected by
the halt in enrollment.
Monte Montanye, CSUF
public information officer, said
873 letters were sent to students
advising them their
cumulative G.P.A. had fallen
below the 2.0 standard and
they would not be allowed to
enroll for the Spring 1992
semester.
Montanye said students can
appeal their status on a case-
by-case basis.
Welty said the "Academic
Standaids Policy" that affected
those students will continue to
be enforced this year.
Liz Fenton, Legislative
Advocate for the CSSA, said,"
the budget is being balanced
on the backs of the students."
Fenton said cuts should be
made in administration and
teacher salaries.
Dr. Wayne Dominick,
President of the California
Faculty Association at CSUF,
said "any (fee) increase above
the cost of living is a tax on the
students, but added that
teachers have suffered along
with the students.
Dominick said the Board of
Directors of the CFA passed a
two-part motion on Jan. 24 to
address the issue of the fee
increase.
The motion states: "CFA
opposes the precipitous action
of the trustees in voting to raise
fees by 40 percent without
consultation with the students;
"CFA proposes to work
with students to determine
what would be a reasonable
fee increase and work with
them to identify other sources
of revenue."
Dominick added the
teachers did not receive a 14
percent pay raise last July and
that the student-faculty ratio
is up 15 percent.
Welty agreed, saying it is
unrealistic to expect faculty to
do more.
"Quality would come," said
Welty.
Dominick said teachers
traditionally take on more
students if the class is needed
by the individual.
"Quality can stay the same
as long as the student faculty
ratio does not continue to
increase," Dominick said.
Thecommunityshould take
on more of the burden, said
Dominick.
"The community will get
students ready for society if it
consultation with the students;
"CFA proposes to work
with students to determine
what would be a reasonable
fee increase and work with
them to identify other sources
of revenue."
Dominick added the
teachers did not receive a 14

that the student-faculty ratio
is up 15 percent.
Welty agreed, saying it is

do more.
"Quali ty would come," said
Welty.
Dominick said teachers

"Quality can stay the same
as long as the student faculty
ratio does not continue to
increase," Dominick said.
The communi ty should take
on more of the burden, said
Dominick.
"The community will get
students ready for society if it
invests now," he said.
Many think there are ways
for students to combat these
increases, however.
Dominick is passing out
fliers to the faculty, urging
them to tell their students to
contact their legislative
representatives.
The CSSA is holding a
legislative conference in
February to show students
how to get involved in the
political system. ^
"If they (the legislators) do
not hear from the students they
will assume the students do
not care," Fenton said.
Montoya said the ASI is
preparing postcards to pass out
to students with the addresses
of the representatives to
contact.
The legislatures do not hear
individual voices of students,
Montoya said.
"We need* to come together
as students, faculty, staff and
community to change the
direction of the state," he said.
