AprilStli: A day of contrast
byDavagfta'aaal V.orgtjiixations from making an Corcoran, dean of Student Affairs, sentattve from both sU
levity arid tragedy will exist side
by side during the opening ceremo¬
nies of Vintage Days April 24-
as a result of an agreement between
the Vintage Days committee and the
Armenian Student Organization
(ASO). '.
April 24 is the day Armenians
commemorate the liagiiinlnn of a
genocide by the Turks that killed
some two million Armenians in
1916: At noon on that day,' Armeni¬
ans begin a vigil designed' to keep
the memory of that genocide
fresh in their minds. *'.,."
The ASO bad requested permis¬
sion to hold ita vigil at CSUF on
April 24 in January, but communi¬
cation problems had kept the two
agreement until Thursday after-
The cornmemraraiion will begin
at 11 a.m. on April 24 and will con¬
clude at 1 p.m. It will be .held in.
the concrete and grass area just off
the Free Speech Area between the
College Union and Bookstore.
The location of the vigil had been
a major obstacle to the ASO recei
viag approval for ita activity.
Denise Catanesi, student director
of Vintage Days, had to be sure that
the commemoration would not in-'
terfere with the estimated 3,000
marchers who will be participating
in the parade that kicks off Vintage
Days.
"Representatives of. both groups
had met severs! times with William
Corcoran, dean of Student Affairs, .
and much of the time was spent
ironing out misunderstsuxiing be¬
tween the two groups.
In the past, the Vintage Days
committee has bean careful to keep
the spring activity from becoming
pcJitically-orientod. But Ccrcoran
does not view the Armenian geno-
cide vigil aa any kind of precedent.
"I don't view this as a precedent
in the sense that we are not talking
about an activity that could happen
at any time.
**t isn't the same as Welcome
.Visgon coming on campus to give
out packets," Corcoran said Thurs-
daymoming.
Tempers were restrained at the
Thursday afternoon meeting, which
primarily consisted of '.wo repre¬
sentative from both sides actually
eyjsugu>simto ttwrrso Spiarh Area
. arid physically plotting out the area
for the vigil with DeanCorcoran.
One problem that kept cropping
up waa how close the vigil could
be to the stream of thousands of
studamtemsrcliingin the parade. .
'We rated a buffer between the
vigil and people in the parade and
the parade workers," Corcoran ex¬
plained.
After ASO repreeenative Mark
Malkaaian had ffttfmstftft that there
would be about 200 Armenians
participating in the vigil. Vintage
Days Parade Director Debbie Mor-
an was able to point out where a
rope could be strung to separate
the parade and vigil.

April 11,1980
the Daily Collegian
approves
proposed budget
. "■' by Doug Bunnell
The A.S. Senate voted Tuesday over¬
whelmingly to approve the 1980-81
budget as it was prepared by the Finance
and Budget committee, despite last-
minute requests by organizations and
A.S. officers.
The 14-1 vote in favor of the budget
presented by the committee climaxed a
lengthy debate, which included a
proposal by A.S. President Dave Ditora
to cut all programs by some 12 percent.
The budget, which was drawn up after
hearings conducted by the Finance and
Budget committee, was fiercely protect¬
ed by F & B Chairman Bill Murphy.
Jeff Watson, administrative . vice
president, proposed that an additions!
$550 be added to the 120,000 in interest
earnings in the proposed budget.
Watson wanted that additional $660 to
be added to the EOF Summer Institute
program to make up for the $648 cut
made from EOP's original request by the
committee.
Murphy strongly opposed that change
comparing the move to the policies that
have supposedly created the huge fed-
c rtiT d sficit c
'We are creating nxmey-just like the
federal government does,* Murphy said,
referring to deficit spending.
The motion to make the change in the
proposed budget failed, 8-6,
The A.S.'s projected income for
1980-81 will be $800,000 and the approv¬
ed budget allocates $286,000 to organi¬
zations and keeps $15,000 in unallocated
account. That unallocated fund can be
used by next year's A.S. Senate to
augment campus organization's budgets
or fund projects it deems worthy.
The Vintage Days committee turned
down a request by the A.S. Senate to
have a voter registration booth during
Boom Town, using the reasoning that
Vintage Days is trying to keep from
becoming politically oriented.
Val Valverde, an advisor for the
Vintage Days committee, explained that
one reason the booth request by the
senate was turned down was that the
committee thought the booth would be
used by supporters of the 'Stop 9'
organization, many of whom are A.S.
senators or A.S. officers.
Murphy initially suggested that the
senate move to freeze funds allocated for
Vintage Days, but later in the meeting
agreed with Ditora's proposal that the
senate simply, draft a "resolution decry¬
ing this action."
The matter was referred to the Public
Affairs committee.
In other business, the Senate approv¬
ed a motion allocating $76 to pay for the
rental of a stage unit by the Women's
Alliance for activities April 14 and 16.
Chris Ignatio, representative for the
Women's Alliance, was visibly relieved
after the Senate had voted to give the
money to her organization.
-The Women's Alliance had gone
before both the CU Programming
Committee and the CU Board to request
that the $75 fee be waived and had been
turned down both times. ,
'We were "just about flatly refused,*
Ignatio said at the Senate meeting. "
Ignatio explained the activities center
around rape education and will include
self defense demonstrations, skits and
IS
'Before its time...'
