Chittick, a instructor of many freah-
man-oriented english courses during his
34 veers stCSUF, gave —tie credence to
the theory that -TV haa had a bad effect
rm the younger generation.
If any—teg, "studenU ara better
informed todaytbecause of tatevfafan)',
Chittick said.
Chittick ssid thst the number of bigh-
c—fber studenfa eomirig to CSUF today to
about eqt—1 to past percentages.
On* gauge of toad-Me' sldlla fa th*
nationauy-adminfatared Schofastic
Aptitude Test (8AT) which to given to
high school seniors yearly.
Since 1962 there haa been a decline fa
SAT testacoree, but that can be explain¬
ed te part by th* fact that the number of
itadsnfa taking the test increased
between '63 and '70, according to CSUF
Psydaomstrfat WiUfam Stock.
Dr. Chittick also used this explafaation
to describe why SAT scores have de¬
clined.
But since 1970 the number of students
taking the test has not increased and yet
the decline continues. At CSUF alone the
verbal aeon on the SAT test for incom¬
ing dwtanta has dropped sn average of
49 points since'70.

Stock said that erplateations Of the
score decline range from the plausible to
the uuttsgeuus.
One wlf-proclaimed expert said that
nuclesr bomb testa fa the Nevada desert
caused the score decline problem.
An in-depth 1977 study by a college
research board yielded several explafa-
auona. The reduced . emphasl* by
secondary schools on verbal and math¬
ematical competence was cited aa a
primary reason.
The report nvrmtloned the 'importance
of restoring the traditions of critical
reading and careful writing,*
Abb cited wa* th* influence of tele¬
vision, which the report determined
"detracts from homework, compete*
with schooling mora generally, and ha*
coni—tatted to the decline fa SAT score
average*.'
Geography instructor Dr. Roger Ervfa
said there has been little change fa the
studenta enrolling at CSUF fa 1980.
In fact, Ervfa has nan an improva-
ment in the abilities of students and
discounted TV* role te shspfng the
manners of students.
Anthropology professor Dr. Sydney
Story was more vocal on the subject of
television.
Student* today have a attention span
of around eight minutes or equal to the
' time between commercials, Story aaid.

"Someof thecrappiest work is done fa
ths G.E. classes," Story said. Many
students don't like to reed and the .
teacher often doesn't try to force work on
the pupil when they should, she said.

Story believes thst parents should
limit the amount of TV watched by thelr
child. Such bandittone would encourage
studying. :'.
The incoming CSUF student probably •'• -
ha* a poor educational background -
bacan** high school, with all it's eea-
demfc deficiencies, ia an "absolute waste -
of time, "Story said.
Political science teach—1' Bernard
M<_wldrick said teat many student*
leaving high school begin college with a
"selfish" attitude. - .
Because of the worsening economic -
Mtuatioo, students are more concerned
today with their own oronomic survival. .
This concern ha* made stqdsnte; more
aerioua and practical, McfJoldrick aaid.
But it also promotes professional stud¬
ies-oriented educations vs. a well-
rounded, muki-eubject four years at
CSUF.
That approach to "unrealistic", .
McGoldrick said. Because of changing
Job market demands he said, "I'm not
sure they're not fa for a shock later on."
Admirwions Officer Carroll Cotten told
the Daily Collegian that idJBJ——ii
standards have not changed since 1961.
Policy dictates that the upper one-third
of a high school graduating class to
allowed to enroll at CSUF.
Cotten said that admission standards
wiU remain Iiadjml unless Howard-
Jarvis' Proposition 9 to passed te June.
The initiative would cut personal state
income taxes to half and may result to sn
enrollment drop.
TV and even-hanging economics may
be effecting the attitudes and abilities of
CSUF's new studenta, but Proposition 9
may provide the biggest change of an,
Cottensaid.

Clyde Howell says he has been drink¬
ing the Water to Kingsburg all his life

"Like they said the other day, you
would have to drink 164 gallons a day for
it to hurt you—and 1 can't drink thai,
