The CSUF Rodeo team took one step closer to hosting a rodeo in May when
the Associated Student* Senate voted yesterday to approve a $4,000 funding
request from the team. &
The A.S. rejected a previous request from the team for $5,750 in October.-
Senator Doug Richesin began the debate by saying the team needed the
money to rent animals and an arena for the rodeo, which the team must hold in
order to be efigibte for competition..       J
Senator Jim Flynn then said he wasjp\ favor of funding the team but did not
want to see CSUF students charged to-attend the rodeo. The motion passed 9-1.
The Senate also heard from Paul McGuire, chairman of the fund drive for
expansion of Beiden Field baseball stadium.
McGuire said that the 3,573 seat stadium will have 540 seats set aside for
general admission student seating and could cost $2 million. Funds for the
stadium are coming from people who donate money or purchase seat options at
3 cos^ of $300 to $1,500 per seat. McGuire said the additional fund* will
n sales or srrial piat*», engravid^h the dor^
backs of the 540 general adniiseiori Mats.
The plates cost $100 and do not entitle the buyer to season ticket* on the
general admission seats, which wfll be sold on a first come-rtrstserved basis.
. McGuire asked the Senate to consider buying plate* for the seats, which wB
cost $54,000 if the Senate chooses to buy a plate for each seat in the general
admission area.
Construction of the stadium is scheduled to begin in early January and be
completed by May. Senator Lisa Powell asked McGuire what to td her
constituents who ask why the Senate should use student money to buy the
McGuire said, "TeD them if it wasn't for the people who raise money, they
wouldn't have the damn stadium."
Carrie Bowen, Pro tempore,.responded, "If wc didn't have the students, we
wouldn't have a team."
Bowen was declared out of order and the Senate sent a proposal to pure has*

rights in
jeopardy?
The federal government is "chipping
away" at the rights of America's 35 million
disabled citizens and is gradually trying to
force the disabled population "back into
the closet," according to a legal advisor
with the California Association for the
Phys»ca8y Handicapped
Judy Cravitz, speaking in front of a
sparse crowd in the College Union
Tuesday, said the Reagan a<Jmiiiistration

Cravitz referred to the recent efforts
made by the administration to revise
federal laws on the rights of the disabled.
The revisions have been directed at
section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,
which deals, with bask rights of the
handicapped, and Public Law 94-142,
which is concerned with education of the
disabled.
According to the critics, the revisions,
which are in proposed form now, would
deny disabled persons the rights they
gained in the original laws. They also
argue that the modifications would
severely weaken regulations that have
allowed the handicapped to become more
