AFROTC suffers recruiting drop
BY HANIF MOORAD
Staff Writtr
Earlier plans to close the campus Air Force Reserve
Officer Training Corps Program, which will now remain
in operation, have hurt the program's effort to recruit stu¬
dents, according to Li. Col. Shaun Sullivan, AFROTC
commander, and a professor of aerospace studies.
Sullivan said that earlier there were plans to close the
Air Force ROTC because the Air Force was having finan¬
cial troubles. But now the Air Force has decided not to
close any units because it has taken care of its problems
by culling other areas.
Sullivan added that "the Air Force was trying to save
[money] by closing units."
At the stan of this year's spring semester, the Air
Face decided to close the CSUF Air Force ROTC unit.
The decision to close a unit, Sullivan said, is made by
the Air Force after looking at many factors, such as the
number of students enrolled, the number of minorities.
how many students are juniors, and several others.
"In April the decision came from the secretary of the,
Air Force that none of the units will be closed. The sec-
retary will take another look in 1990 and if it is neces¬
sary to close any units he would do that," said Sullivan.
He added that he is optimistic that even in 1990 none
of the units will be closed.
Captain Nancy Hornung, professor of aerospace stud¬
ies, said, "I don't think they [the Air Force] will close
any units, with the kind of support evident from the com¬
munity [when it was being planned to close the unit],
this attitude shows that this unit means a lot to the com¬
munity."
She added that "I donl think the community will let it
close." She said that the positive reaction from the stu¬
dents, staff, and the community has made her feel that
this program berfhs the students.

Library gets new copiers
Profits from new Kodak copiers will help pay assistants
BY GAY TAGLCHI
Staff Writer
Their time was up. They had lived long
past their estimated life span of five years
(some were in their 13th year), and yet
they hung on—barely.
Aged, obsolete and in need of semi-con¬
stant repair, the CSUF library copiers
were an insult to everyone, but little
could be done. Or so it seemed.
With its limited budget, the library had
been immobilized over the years by the es¬
timated $250,000 initial cost of new cop¬
iers. They were also stymied by the al¬
most endless task of maintaining the bro¬
ken down old ones.
Enter Michael Corcoran. As general
manager of Corcoran Enterprises, Inc.,
which owns Campos Copy Center and
two other copy outlets in Fresno, he had
the expertise and financial resources to as¬
sist the library.
Vying with two other firms, Corcoran
won a three-year renewable contract with
the library to supply it with both new
copiers and a team of people to maintain,
service and supply them. All at no cost to
the university.
In return, Corcoran Enterprises and the
library will split the profits in a ratio that
increases the library's share with time.
The profits are unestimable at this time,
said Corcoran, because it isn't known
how much more use (and money) lhe\ll
new copiers will get over the few old
ones that worked before.
Tbe library will, according to Steph¬
anie Hillman, assistant university librar¬
ian, use their profits to pay student as¬
sistants.
According to Corcoran, his profits
from the first 18 months will benefit the
university by being used to upgrade the
existing duplication systems within the
library. This includes, he said, upgrading
the microprinters, computers, typewriters
and getting even more suitable copiers.
In the last 18 months, there will be
more profit, said Corcoran, but it will be
at a lower rate than the corporation's retail
copy outlets.
Thus the profits, according to
Corcoran, were not the only motivation
for involvement in this joint endeavor.
Another was community service, he said.
Begun and still owned by Paul and
Rhoda Corcoran, Corcoran Enterprises,
Inc. has been run by three generations of
their farm!> and served the university and
the SvaTrounding community since 1966.
While already supporters of tbe CSUF
Athletic Department, said Corcoran, they
