» Scott A. Carter
Staff writer
With that, nasty budget word still
floating around campus, student leaders
were urged to gather opinions from
students to present to the President's Task
Force on the Budget.
Reggie Hendrix, student representative
to the Task Force, told the Associated
Students Incorporated (ASD, "Our (Task
Force) arms are open for suggestions from
the ASI and students."
Hendrix said students need to give input
to have a voice in decisions affecting their
education.
Hendrix said student services, quality
of programsand improvement of the whole
campus are some of the areas students
should think about when making
suggestions. s
"Ideas might not be money-saving, but
make life a lot easier for students," said
Hendrix
"Everything is up on the table," said
Hendrix, referring to what programs and
services are to be cut or saved for thecoming
years.
Legislative Vice President Martin
Rodriguez suggested each senator ask
professors for two minutes from each class
they have to gather opinions from students.
"Decisions to allocate money are coming

The "Star" telephone registration made
its debut at CSUF during a special add-
drop period Dec. 28-Jan.lO, which allowed
students to make class changes over the
telephone.
The telephone add-drop period was
available to students who participated in
early registration for the 1992 Spring
semester; 5,242 students took advantage of
the phone system, said Tina Beddall,
assistant registrar.
"It was definitely a success. It worked,"
Beddall said.
Information Was sent out berore
Christmas and students were given a
specific date and time at which they could
begin their calls.
During the add-drop period there were
15,663 "add" attempts, Beddall said. Out of
these 48.7 percent were successful adds in
which students got the classes they wanted,
Beddall said.
Taese 5,242 students would have had
to stand in line on add-drop day," Beddall
said.
Tiffany Ferguson, 18, a freshman, added
a class during the phone add-drop period
and said it was great. " There were no
snags-none at all," Ferguson said.
Amin Gaines, 19, a freshman, said it was
better than waiting in line. Gaines said
most of the classes he wanted were filled
but he kept calling back and finally got all
the classes he wanted.

and students need to have a voice," said
Rodriguez.
ASI Adviser Victor Oliveres told the
ASI the impact of the budget will last about
four years.
"Decisions will be made and the system
will move on," said Oliveres.
Oliveres said this is a major opportunity
for the ASI to take a stand on student issues

writers, discussed and answered the.
question 'JWhy do I write?" amidst about
25 peoplefend the aroma of cookies in the
librar/aconference room yesterday.
Homed as part of the Amerasia Week
celebration, the panel consisted of David
Mas Masumoto, a third-generation
Japanese American writer from Fresno; Mee
Her, a Hmong American writer graduated

Chinese American writer of international
fame, came to CSUF to speak three or four
years ago, there were only about 30 to 40
people among the audience.
"Besides," he said, "these writers can
enrich people with their experiences and
let them knowmore about themselves."
Thepaneld'Scussion,titled"WhyIwrite:
finding voice" certainly opened up the
writers' lives and backgrounds, their
writings and experiences, and their goals.
* "In answer to the question why I write,
the answer is that I write to find voice," said
Masumoto, who has been writing since his
twenties and had his first essay published
in 1978. "I'm searching for the voice that's
real, both mine and others."

an agricultural family read several passages
