Students skeptical about minimum wage increase
By BehrtdjrLee
StaffWriter
President Bill Clinton's pro¬
posal to increase minimum wage
from $425 to $5 has met with
mixed responses by students on
campus. "
Clinton mentioned the/pro¬
posal in his State of Ihe Union
Address last Tuesday, but offi¬
cially, a bill hasn'tbeen submitted
to Congress.
Many students, battUng to
survive the high cost oTliving,
like the proposal but are unsure if
it will come to pass.
"I dojfcrt ii," said 23-year-old
accountancy major Scott Kamp,

"We need it because wages
have been so low and it's hard to
live on $425," said Sanchez, a
senibr business administration
major. "I find it hard living on
$635 an hour." ,

Student in agriculture education,

"I think it'll probably go up

minimum wage ,and said,"$5 is

better than $4.25." The senior
physical therapy major said she
probably won't be affected by an
increase because she's already
past the minimum wage.
Brian Bentwood, who earns
$5.75 an hour at Computer Com

(CCMS) on campus, doesn't think
an increase to $5 will affect his
pay scale, but worries about his
chances of getting a raise.

ASI gears up tor fight
over tuition hike
ByLbaAlvey
StaffWriter
Vowing to continue their
fight against the CSU Board of
Trustees' decision to raise tu¬
ition fees, ASI is gearing up for
their first meeting this semester
which will be held on Thurs¬
day,-February 2T
"We want to continue the
fight against the fee hike," stu¬
dent body president Susan
Gonzales-Shweiki said. "Our
California State Student Asso¬
ciate representative Stacey
Green has been attending a lot
of meetings regarding the tu¬
ition fee increase. It is possible
thatwe might even start an¬
other letter-writing campaign
rolling this Spring." J
"Our biggest goal for this
semester is to get more students
involved in committees. J feel
that this is an on-going prob¬
lem that every administration
V
has to deal with; students just
don't want to be tfivoh/ed,"
Gonzales-Shweiki said.
Looking back at this past
semester, Joel Eanes, senator
at large post five, admitted
being embarrassed by actions
linked to the ASI. "Well, they
[the students] burned a flag
and an effigy of [Pete] Wilson,
more was a tent city in the free
speech area and that infernal
racket went on for too long
during the ADDS protest It
was a very embarrassing se¬
mester for ASI," Eanes said.
Administrative vice
president Kymberly Daniels
agreed with Eanes, saying that
not much has been -accom¬
plished so far in the ASL "h)
fact, I can't think of anything
specific that we have actually
done. Right now, I am work¬
ing oh getting the budget set
