Counseling and health services
latest casualties of budget crisis
By Patrick Bettencourt
StaffWriter M •
CSUFs Student Counseling and Student Health Services are
the latest victims to fall prey to the vicious bite of the budget cri¬
sis. Because of a lack of funding, the two formerly independ¬
ent campus services have been consolidated and named Univer¬
sity Health and Counselingr _J ^
As a result, the services offered by the new department, now
under the direction of Robert M.Paull,M.D.,M.P. H.. have been
greatly reduced. >
"Access to care will be more limited than it has been in the
pasL We can offset some of the losses but not all," Paull said.
Health Educator, Sam Gitchel said main chunks of the de¬
partment that have been eliminated include the loss of doctors
and nurses, resulting in less appointment time being available.
Now, drop-in patients are being seen.
Gitchel described the waiting room atmosphere as one that
"There are times when students can be seen in a matter of
minutes and there are times when there is standing roomoniy/'
Gitchel said.
The center is working on getting people in and out expedi-
rjoasty. El MB.
Students are beginning to notice the results of budget cuts in
the health center.
Laura Kreutz, a first year graduate student and early child¬
hood education major* said, "I've noticed that they cut down on
counseling hours."
Shuli Chang, a senior accounting major said, "It (die budget
cuts) will bother me a lot because I come here quite often.
Insurance fees are quite expensive so if we went to the hospital
for a fever or cold it could get quite troublesome."
Both Kreutz and Chang reported waiting at least 30 minutes
to be seen by a doctor.
Cuts in the health and counseling services department did not
come as a surprise to Paull,
"Cuts should encompass all activities. None should be sacred
or protected. It would be reasonable to say we should take our
fair share," Paull said.
It may appear that the health and counseling services have
taken more than their fair share. Departmental cuts include a 48
percent reduction in staff between June 1991 and September
1992, a net region of 23 employees, Paull said.
The48 percent reduction does not consist entirely of layoffs,
but also of employees that resigned or quit during the same lime

CSUF and President Welty started what
could be a new tradition Wednesday by
having the first ever New StudentConvoca-'
tion.
Faculty, students, musicians and alum¬
nus all gathered together at noon in the
Satellite Student Union for the event, which
was created to welcome new students to
CSUF.
Being a very formal event, the prelude
was started off by the CSUF British Brass
Band.
The program was then turned Over to
Provost Alex Gonzalez who recognized the
37 Rodman Scholars and Outstanding Pro¬
fessor of 1992, Dr. Barry Gump.
Gump then was the first to welcome new
students.
"We wish you a good start in education
and turning that into reality," said Gump.
He also said there are over 700 faculty
members and hundreds of thousands of
books in the library so, "don't be satisfied
with just classroom lectures and labs." He
encouraged new students to get to know -
their teachers and to take advantage of what
CSUF has to offer.
i Nextf Martina Acevedo, the 1992
President'sMedalist, the highest honor given
to outstanding graduates, gave her advice to
new students.
"The trick to college is to get the most out
of it as you can. You will take from this
University the things you put in iu" Acevedo
said. 'Test your limits, explore potentials.
The only limits you have are those you put"
on yourself."
The last speech was made by who cre¬
ated the convocation in the first place, Presi¬
dent John Welty.
Welty welcomed freshmen and transfer
students by describing CSUF as a "growth
in knowledge," and a place for "individual
growth and discovery."
He also said, "Expect to leam as much
outside the classroom as inside. Fresno State
University can be a true academic academy
in all senses of the word."
Thisendedthe formal part of the convo¬
cation, and then started the Alumni
Association's reception on the outside lawn.
But the reactions from the convocation
were already present, and many seemed to
be in favor of the new idea.
