"over reliance" on borrowing and "a budget¬

result in massive cutbacks and faculty layoffs
by the spring semester.
Some of the proposed cutbacks may be

severe enough to close some departments and
even entire campuses by 1995-%.
The state government has "rolled over''the
budget every year, according to the CF A. Gov¬

Salvador this summer on sab-
Atwood, a CSU, Fresno pro¬
fessor in the Department of Mass
