the CSU had made Us realize that
if we didn't spend the money, we
were likely to lose it"
Consultation with the
University B udge t Comm i uee and
the Council of Deans led to the
decision on how to spend the
money, Gigliotti said.
"The funds had to be committed
in 30 days," she said.
One option was to purchase
instructional equipment for the
laboratories, but equipment
purchases require a bidding
process that normally takes 30
days, Gigliotti said. : ^
"Wedidn't think we could make
the time frame on that."
So, the decision was made to
buy computers for those faculty,
particularly the newer ones, who
didn't have them.
Forty-seven workstations were
purchased with the money and they
were distributed to the schools that
had the greatest need, Gigliotti said.
The need was great in the
School of Arts and Humanities
according to Dean Luis Costa.
Costa said they had the lowest
percentage of computers at CSUF.
The workstations will have a
tremendous impact on the school
and people will become more
efficient, Costa said.
"In terms of turn-around time
and ability to respond to students'
needs, I think it will be a big
improvement"
The department of computing,
communication, and media
services is also improving service
to students..
A computer lab will be opening
soon in the McKee-Fisk building,
according to Gail Abbott,
instructional and office consulting
coordinator.
The lab will replace those in the
Keats building which will notclose
until the new lab is open, Abbott
said.
Most of the Macintosh
equipment will be replaced with
more current technology such as
MacII's.
"The new lab will have the same
number of stations as the Keats
labs," Abbott said.
Money for the new lab was
"literally scraped from the bottom
of the barrel," Abbott said.
There are about 50 labs
available on campus, and about
half are open-use available all the
■ time or available when classes
aren't scheduled, Abbott said.
There is a Macintosh lab located
in room 316 of the Art-Home
Economics Building with close to
30 machines; which is available
when classes aren't scheduled,
Abbott said.
Other labs are located in the
Peters Business Building, Social
Science, New Science and in
McLaneHall.
One of the labs in McLane Hall
has 12 AMIGA computers that die
department is seeking to use more
effectively, Abbott said.
More labs will be located in the
new Music Building, as well as in
the planned School of Education
Building and classroom buildings,
Abbott said.*
"Over the next two or three
years, the number of labs could
increase by almost 50 percent."
Abbott also mentioned that the
possibility of a 24-hour computer
lab has not been ruled out
"We certainly are interested in
what the user wants."
Complaints, comments and
questions can be taken to Abbott
in computing, communication and
mfcdia services, located on the first
floor of the McKee-Fisk Building.

Ag student
awarded
scholarship
By Leah Perlch
Staff Wrrter
Renae Braaksma has had a lot
to do this semester because she's a
senior agribusiness major and
assistant manager on the family
farm.
Recently her work paid off by
winning a $500 agricultural
scholarship.
Capital Agri-Women awarded
four California university students
with the awards for their
"demonstrated interest in
agriculture, leadership qualities,
academic ability and career goals,"
as written in the award
announcement.
As a winner Braaksma said, "I
am honored they would choose
me. I will try to use it wiselyHM
bring in the grades."
Having been raised around
agriculture, it sounds like it has
just become a part of her.
"I've jalways been in
agriculture.'I used to follow my
father around when I was little. I
saw how he liked it, and I saw the
profit from it," sfic said.
This was how she came to take
it as a major.
One of her professors Douglas
Williams'said, she has done well
in the field.
"She's been a good student and
has worked very closely with her
father on the farm," Williams said.
Braaksma Farms, the family
almond' and grape farm in
Chowchilla was created by her
family and as she said "it started
small and it continued to grow."
Recently, Braaksma became
assistant manager of the farm, and
after her graduation in May 1993,
she plans to take over as manager—
the position her father now holds.
She said because of leukemia,
he is taking, "kind of and early
retirement." And Braaksma will
