standard; only 10
officers remain
By Edward Bove
Staff writer
For the second time this aca¬
demic year. Associated Students,
Inc. senators have been disquali¬
fied forfailing to meet the required
2.0 grade-point-average standard.
Senator at-large post number
four Michael O' Brien and Maurice
Castillo, senator for the School of
Social Sciences, are the sixth and
seventh members of the ASI Sen¬
ate, elected last spring, who have
been forced to step down due to
disqualification.
Neither O'Brien nor Castillo
could be reached for comment.
A full senate is comprised of 18
members, meaning that only "10
elected senators remain.
ASI President Marci Demings,
who is responsible for filling the
vacancies through appointments
(as she did with the original six
vacancies), expressed disappoint¬
ment iii response to the current
vacancies. * •
GIVEN THE BOOT
Among the senators elected last
spring, the following seven have
been disqualified for failing to
meet the 2.0 GPA standards:
Maurice Castillo, spring 1993
Michael O'Brien, spring 1993
Jennifer Bent, fall 1992
T^esaGipson; fall 1992. |
Michael Handorf. fall 1992
Rosalie Molina, fall 1992 .
Alice Montoya, fall 1992
"I was hoping everybody would
have made it." Demings said.
For the fall semester, Demings
was responsible for making ap¬
pointments for six vacancies left
by students who were elected, but
were ineligible.
Demings said she plans to keep
the current appointment process
low-key to help with the transition
process.
"I'm not gonna go through what
we went through before," Demings
said in reference to last fall's va¬
cancies.
Students interested in Tilling ei¬
ther of the vacancies may contact
Demings at the ASI office in Uni¬
versity Student Union room 316.
Kennel's prices
lower than most
20 percent profit
margin allows store
to lessen textbook
costs, manager says
By Jennifer Shew
Staff writer
Textbook prices at the Kennel
Bookstore are lower than almost
any other bookstore, according to
Susan Band, the Kennel's text¬
book manager. *~~~
Bartel said the Kennel operates
with a 20 percent profit margin
while most university bookstores
range from 23 to 28 percent.
"We are here as a service to the
students," she said.
A study published by the Na¬
tional Association of College
Bookstores found that of 100
widely used freshman and sopho¬
more textbooks, the average per¬
centage increasefrom 1991 to 1992
was4.3 percent; from .1987 to 1992,
37.6 percent: and from 1982 to
1992, 104 percent.
College Press Service noted in
an October, 1992 release that text¬
book prices are "generally adjusted
twice a year."
Another study the association
cited was a survey that studied the
price increasesof85,000 textbooks.
Nearly 22,000 had a priceincrease
from publishers from February
through July, 1992 of an average of
$1.75.
• Standard practice for the univer¬
sity bookstore industry is to oper¬
ate at a 20 to 25 percent markup
from the net prices billed from the
book publisher.'
When students sell a books back
to the store they are paid 50 percent
of the value of the original selling

Welty answers issues
By Chris Branam
Editor
Over the course of this semester.
President John Welty will be faced
with some of the toughest deci¬
sions he has had to make during his
brief tenure at this university.
President Welty recently sat
down to an interview, during which
he answered some questions that
he may find himself facing in the
months to come. The following is
a transcript of that interview.
If the fees are increased to over
$2,000 a year, many students will
leave the CSU system, including
CSUF. What would you say to
students considering leaving
CSUF?
First of all I think it's important
to clarify this issue of $2,400. To
my knowledge, the only discus¬
sion that has occurred is the possi¬
bility of looking at a long-term fee
policy in which fees would be a
percentage of the cost of instruc¬
tion. It has been suggested that at
some point in the future it might be
desir abl c to have the fees set at the'
average of public higher institu¬
tions across the country,.which
happens to be $2,400.
If that type of pelicy was adopted,
■it would be several years before
the actual $2,400 figure would kick
in. Obviously, this is pure specula¬
tion at this point.
But, let me answer the question
that you phrased. If thestatc adopts
