::-'M '* Vol. XCIX Issue 25 CSU-Fresno sf . Transfer students moke up the majority of CSUF's enrollment Monday October 5,1992 By Leah Perlch Staff Writer When considering Where to go to col- Icge, did you hear the question;"What about the local junior college?" Well, about a little more than half of the CSUF student body chose the junior college road and decided to transfer later. Dr.' Carroll Cotten of admissions said of all undergraduates, "Seventy-three percent of student enrollment were from California community colleges." He said, this rate has pretty much re¬ mained constant. And the main reasons students choose junior colleges is because "they are less expensive, more convenient and because they are not always eligible so they transfer as juniors." Cotten said this also helps them in their transition to the university. "They're expe¬ rienced in the collegiate setting, and already are a little older." / Cathy Shatafian, a sociology major and transfer student from Pasadena City Col¬ lege, agreed. "When I came, I already knew what college was about and what is ex¬ pected of me." . , She als&said she wasn't eligible for a university coming out of high school—if she had been, she would have attended as a freshman. Student Ethan Weiss, who transferred from Moorpark College, said if he had at¬ tended CSUF when he was a freshman "I wouldn't have lasted more than a week. I didn't have study habits, and I wasn't ma¬ ture enough to handle it." Both claim there are a few differences between CSUF and their junior colleges. Weiss said, "Socially it's different At the JC you just see people at school, here you're living with them." ' . Shatafian said the differences are that "the classes are more demanding. Living at school is different, and having to meet new people." tf* > ' Dogfight: FSU's Bulldogs dominated Louisiana Tech 48-14 Saturday night The 'Dogs take on Brigham Young next Saturday.

Not all of the six were employed full- time and joining them in the unemployment ranks were a few clerical positions that were also laid off. •! Counselors are still available to provide services for CSUF students every day of the week. Services are available but they are limited. "We do recognize that there are short¬ ages," said Medical Administrator Law¬ rence A. Haugen. Haugen said that the fewer counselors there are, fewer students will use the coun¬ seling services. That is why they will use psychologists, nurses and qualified staff as backup to make ends meet whenever neces¬ sary. "Money assistance with vacant positions were not enough ... The only recourse was to lay off positions... All offices within Stu¬ dent Affairs also went through layoffs," said Dean of Student Affairs William Corco¬ ran. He also pointed out that a total of 33 people were laid off within the department alone. Three-fourths of the counseling staff is gone—a direct result of this semester's ab¬ sence of the six counselors. Corcoran has no question in his mind Please see COUNSELING, page 4 CSU students walk out to protest cuts CPS—Thousands of California State University students walked out of classes SepL 23-24 in a statewide protest of educa¬ tion cuts andjjpe hikes that resulted in at least two arrests. Some protesters charged that they were beaten by police when a demonstration near San Diego State University turned violent. About 500 students marched to and blocked a freeway off-ramp, where a confrontation between police officers^pd demonstrators took place. "Unfortunately, things got a little ugl," Merek Findlihg, 21, one of the protest or¬ ganizers. "There were 34 patrol cars and motorcycle cops there and one helicopter. There were a number of students who were hit with nightsticks. Two students were ar¬ rested. Nothing like this has ever happened before." San Diego Police Department sofficials* confirmed the arrest of two women during the march, although they did not report that _any students were struck with nightsticks. The incident occurred during two days of speeches and workshops about education cutbacks. Other campuses in the20-campus CSU system held similar rallies protesting a 40 percent fee hike and 8.8 percent budet cut. Organizers encouraged professors to let students out of class in order to attend the rallies and strenghten the protest message to the state government. The response was mixed. At Cal State Northridge, many students either ignored the protests or said tr&y felt pressured by professors not to skjp calss. Only a few professors were visible at the protests, a sharp contrast to an Aug. 31 faculty protest that drew visible support from Northridge students. Findling said the situation was similar at San Diego. "There were some faculty that were not at all conducive to what was going . There were some faculty that did admini¬ ster tests and were adamant about it," he said. There were some exceptions. Associate professor Mindy Lorenz canceled her art history class to encourage Northridge stu¬ dents to participate. "It's the only class I teach today, but I would have canceled all of them (this week) if I had to," Lorenz said. ., \ PLEASE SEE WALKOUT, PAGE 6 :••<■■:
