ASI spiraling out of control
By Olivia Reyes
StaffWriter
California State University,
Presno'sstudentgovemment lead¬
ers were faced Thursday with sev¬
eral new problems that went be¬
yond the normal meeting.
The Associated Students, Inc.
are currently facing the resigna¬
tion of their attorney, the possibil¬
ity of an
investiga¬
tion into
ASI af¬
fairs and,-
for the
second
Week this
semester,
the ASI
adjourned
without-
an ap¬
proved
agenda. -
But ASI members had mixed
vie ws of why the agenda was voted
down for a second time, why they
lost their attorney and why an in¬
vestigation would be done. .
Gregory Chambers, senator at-
large, post #5, said ASI is being
handled like a "dictatorship" by
upper management.
"Whatever we do, we getruled
out by parliamentary procedures
that are bogus," Chambers said. "I
want to have a meeting. I don't
want some structure saying 'that
'you're out of order, you're out of
order'."
But Giovana Driussi, ASI sen¬
ate chair and legislative vice presi¬
dent, said she can't understand why
members are clashing with each
\ other.
i She
'sdid say,
however,
jjhat some
'oftheRe-
a 1 i t y
senators
have
made it
almost
impos-
______j sible for
the meet¬
ings to
move forward.
"All I can say is that they don't
want to see business done," Driussi
said. "I'm very accessible. I'm
willing to work with them."
But Pete Nicholson, another
Reality senator, said Reality mem¬
bers "have been absolutely pro-
"I want to have a meet¬
ing. I don't want some
structure saying that
'you're out of order,
you're out of order'."

any ASI personnel at all." .
He said he questions the legis¬
lative vice president's knowledge
of ASI bylaws and parliamentary
procedures since Nicholson feels
some of them have been violated
at times.
But Driussi disagrees.
"If they can come in andlalk to

stand what exactly they want,"
Driussi said. "We're all represent'
ing the students."

CSUF housing opens up a new
convenience store for students
By Dougla
StaffWriter
i Stolhand
In an attempt to provide more-
services io on-campus students,
while at the same time boosting
funds for both University Housing
and Food Services, CaliforniaState
University, Fresno housing has
opened The Pantry, a new
convenience store located
next door to the Commons
Lodge..
Charlie Miller, assis¬
tant director of housing,
and Jim Prince, director
of Food Services came up
with the idea in early Au¬
gust of this year. The de¬
cision to begin work on
The Pantry was made
when housing officials
realized that on-campus
occupancy was down 200
students from last year,
adorn the racks inside The Pantry.
But, perhaps the biggest attraction
comeS frdm off canfpus.
Food Service has contracted
with Pizza Hut through which The
Pantry will purchase one and two
toppi ng pizzas from Pizza*Hut each
night which will be sold to the
students. In addition, any student
changed. Some students think the
. hours should be longer in the morn¬
ing and in the evening. Currently
the hours of operation are 7:30-
9:30 im. and 5:30 p.m.-1:00 a.m.,
seven days a week.
"I think, they should be open
later on weekend mornings be¬
cause I usually don't get up that

built.
The Pantry is similar to having
a complete convenience store steps
away from the residence halls.
Fountain drinks, coffee, cold so¬
das and Snapples; chips, candy,
microwaveable sandwiches and
pizza; Scantrons, blue books.-typ-
ing paper and other office supplies
living in the dorms can call The early," said Laurie Wade, a sopho¬
more who lives in the dorms.
Food Service is not quite
ready to-extend the hours.
"We don't want The Pantry
to become areplacement for
the Residence Dining Hall,"
Prince said. "The whole
idea behind it is that it would
serve as a place the students
can go for snacks during the
hours the dining hall is
closed." •
Students have other re¬
quests as to the products
__ sold inside The,Pantry.
"Ben and Jerry's ice cream
should definitely be sold," stu¬
dent Michelle' Ben nut; said.
Lisa Uribe claimed that she
would like popcorn to be sold.
As for the Pizza Hut-option,
students seem to be taking advan¬
tage of the deals offered them.
Leticia Tafolla said she has or¬
dered pizza many times before.
"The, whole idea behind
it is that it would serve as
a place the students can
go for snacks during the
hours the dining hall is
closed."
—Jim-Prince
Although student input was not
solicited in the original planning
of The Pantry,' a survey is cur¬
rently available- for students to
make recommendations for,
changes they would like to see at
The Pantry.
Some1 students have already
thought of things they would like
but wishes they would consider
