.Oh... the joys of being a student at good old CSU
Tresno.
The new faces, the unfinished ASI business, the
new parking meters, the wonderful people at Joyal
Adirunistration. Gotta love it.
For starters, if s refreshing to see students with the
rm-new-herehut-please-don't-notice-rm-lostlook.
Itwarms my heart to see these people casually glanc-
ingatmapsofthe campus and maKesmeglaal mnot
them *
I also enjoy all of the booths set up by different
campus organizations designed specifically to attract
these unsuspecting individuals.
"The only thing [the ASI] can
deside on is not to deside, which
really isn i that good of a N
decision. *
"Come join us," they say. "We won't take up too
much time, and the dues are cheap."
Speaking of organizations, my favorite one has
already made the headlines, on this, the fourth day of
the fall 1994 semester. Lo and behold, the Associated
Students, Inc., is stuck in Limbo-land and can't
decide on either of the two proposed budgets.
These guys never cease to amaze me. The executive
board sucks up student funds, but can'tdecide where
any of it should go. The only thing they can decide on
is to not decide, which really isn't that good of a
decision. -

King, "Can't we all just get along?" <

—LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DearEditor,
I feel mandated healthier
should be left outof thehandsof
the federaTgovernment The role
of the government should be to
insure that the market place is
level and fair, and concentrate.
only on problems such as insure
ance reform. ~w
I am a student working my¬
self through college. If my em¬
ployer is forced to pay for my
insurance I, like many others,
will be forced to consider two
options. I would have to loose
my job or keep my job but at a
drastically reduced pay. Clearly,
both options are unacceptable.
Like most people I know, am
willing*© accept me risk of being
uninsured as a means of reaching
my goals. These goals would be
threatened if part-time employ¬
ers were forced to* cover my
healthcare expenses.
As a university student*. I am
able to receive basic medical care
from the campus clinic. I feel this
issatisfactoryformyneeds-VVhy
does the federal government
think mat they could mandate
what's good for me? Only I know
what's best for me!
Why should we completely
overhaul the wholesystem when
the focus should be helping
people who don't have access?' •

buy into a discounted plan

I'm in my 20% after gradu¬
ation I can look forward to pay¬
ing half of my income in taxes
(state and federal). -1 want to
help people, but how much
more of my income does the
government want?
