women are able to go out together and
not be afraid of being attacked or raped,
with a group of women'taking back the
night.'"
"We're also saying that we're tired of
being afraid and ifs okay to to 'take-
back the night/" said Andrea Bertram,
also from Women's Alliance.
"We shouldn't have to stay inside
because we're afraid."
Belt agreed and said that the march
was about sending a message to "not be
afraid" any longer.
"Just because we're female doesn't
mean that we have to be scared to go
out," she said. "We're not going to take
it anymore."
The 'Take Back the Night" march

CSU fee increase a lose-lose situation
Wanda Russell
Staff writer
While the proposed 40 percent
student fee increase will be hard
to* stomach for some students,
without the increase students may
face dramatic cuts in enrollment,
classes and faculty.
Student outcry is reachu% the
ears of legislators, however, and
politicians are looking seriously
at alternatives to a 40 percent fee
increase. '
The CSU Board of Trustees
wants a 40 percent student fee
increase whh the full support of
Gov. Pete Wilson. Support for a
10 percent fee increase by
legislators is gaining momentum
and has raised fear among the
financial officers in the CSU
system, who face a $137 million
budget deficit. ^
. The Assembly Ways and
Means Committee voted on March
30 to cap the student fee increase
at a 10 percent level, said
Assemblyman Jim Costa, who is a
member of the committee.
There are no painless choices,"
Costasaid. 'There will be trade¬
offs and students need to be aware
of what is going on with the
negotiations on the fee increases."
However, added Costa, There
is lots of support to provide some
balance toward the fee increases."
The chances of getting the
money out of the general funds
areslim to none," Costasaid. "We
are looking outside of general
funds."
In the next six weeks as the
budget process unravels, Costa
said he would like to keep the
door open to alternative funding.
While there may be compromises,
the 10 percent cap will provide
some leverage for further
negotiations. , v. v. ."«*.*.%.%%%*,".'
Students, caught in the middle
of the budgetary muck, are
lobbying for a bill that will limit
the student fee increase to 10
percent and are meeting
opposition from Wilson in the
process.
Jeff Chang, legislative director
and lobbyist for the California
State Student Association in
Sacramento, said that Wilson
threatened to veto legislation that
would overturn the proposed 40
percent fee increases.
Senate BUI 1446, which limits
the Trustees and Regents to a 10
percent student fee increase, has
the support of the U.C. Student
Association, the California State
Student Association and 17
legislators, Chang said. The bill
will be heard in the Senate
Education Committee today and
