AS to discuss baseball stadium funding
By Diana Drury
Managing Editor
The Finance and Budget Committee of
the Associated Student Senate will recom¬
mend that the Senate investigate the pos¬
sibility of funding $54,000 to the baseball
stadium project tomorrow during the
senate meeting.
The senate meets at 3:10 p.m. in the
College Union, room 312-314. The public
is welcome.
Paul McGuire, chairman of the fund
drive for the expansion of Beiden Field
approached the senate Nov. 30 with a
funding request. At that time, McGuire
said that the 3,598-seat stadium will have
540 seats set aside for general admission
student seating and could cost $2 million.
McGuire's organization has already
raised $1.6 million.
Funds from the stadium have been
coming from people who donate money
or purchase seat options at a cost $300 to
$1,500 per seat. McGuire said the addi
tional funds will come from sales of small

senate sent the request to the Finance
and Budget Committee for investigation.
Tomorrow, that committee will.be re¬
turning the favor. The senate will discuss
whether they should accept the recom¬
mendation and investigate the funding
request themselves. -*'•*-.-''•.''        ,
"A lot of debate will be coming out of
that recommendation," said George
Santiago, administrative vice president.
"It's just elongating the process. Finance
and Budget should have investigated it
themselves. They're saying to the senate:
'You do it. We don't want to'."
In other action, the senate will hear
funding requests from the Daily Col¬
legian, the Women's Alliance, Arts and
Humanities and the Navigators.
The Daily Collegian will request $7,000
to offset a budget deficit in order to main¬
tain daily publication. The Women's
Alliance is requesting to use money
allotted for a publication in order to bring
speakers to campus.
The University Lecture Series, under
Arts and Humanities will request a total of
$3,500 to cover printing and technical fees
involved in bringing 12 speakers to
campus.
The Navigators, a campus organi¬
zation, is requesting $1,500 to help
sponsor a snow trip.

seemed like a cliche to me. until it ruined

section, an article where President
Ronald Reagan renewed his vow to sup
port legislation banning abortions. Rea
gan supported the legislation in the name
of "human rights" and as part of his
"moral essentials."
Upon reading further into the paper,
and once again in the name of "human

"shouldn't we give it Ihe benefit of the

The benefit of the doubt. Like Presi¬
dent Reagan gave the benefit of the doubt
to Ihe ruling military of El Salvador in
following human rights outlines'.
The ruling military of El Salvador
reduced political assassinations from 500
monthly to only 200, nol counting the
other countless hundreds of peasants tor '
tured, or those more fortunate to have
been shot point blank.
The El Salvadorian military most
recently "accidentally" bombed a town of
their own army personnel and other pea-
persons. Since the military refused to
release any information on the number of
casualties. I guess he wants to give them
the benefit of the doubt.
Well, accidents do happen, like getting
pregnant while practicing birth control.

Kaeder said the fee increase is
preventing some students from attending
The attorney also said that a contract¬
ual agreement between the university
systeni and its students was breached by
:he fee increase.
If you create an expectation in a
contractual relationship and you don't
deliver, you have breached the contract,"
'They're charging
you a tuition, so
why not come out
and say so?'
He said that the CSU system created
an expectation of low-cost higher
jducation and then raised fees, dashing
hose expectations.
Kaeder compared the last-minute fee
ncrease to purchasings television set at a
specified price, only to have the sales¬
person charge an additional $64 before
blowing the set lo leave the store.
Other charges in the suit are that the
lee increase violates the California
hducation Code and the California Master
Plan, also known as the Donahoe Act of
I960.
l  Code
"The California Educatic
provides that tuition shall be
than $25,"Kaeder said. "What they have
been doing is raising student fees 226
percent since 1980. By next fall they want
to double that-raise fees 400 percent in
two years-that's tuition."
He said that charging tuition is prohib¬
ited in the Master Plan.
Tuition is defined in the Master Plan as
monies charged (or teaching expense,
whereas fees are monies charged for s t udent
servicessuch as health centers, recreation
ind placement services.
Kaeder said all the revenue generated
from the $64 increase will go into Ihe state

distinguish between it and other state
money, which means that some of the fee
money will go to cover teaching expense.
"They're charging you tuition, so why
not come out and say so?" Kaeder asked.
DeKoven, a third year law student, said
that rather than charge students tuition,
the state should find other ways to bail out
the CSU system.
"Money can come from sin taxes and
taxes on professional services such as
legal and medical services," DeKoven
said. "It's time to start closing the loop¬
holes and charging taxes on the professional
He also said the state should consider a
state lottery.
DeKoven said his suit was filed because
he wants to insure quality education for
current  students  and  students of the
"Philisophically, our suit is based on the
future of California," DeKoven said. "Our
children may not be able to get post-
secondary education.
"The odds are against us, but we are
confident. Our hope is that we win the
injunction and the state will drop the case.
"The only way the state can win is if we
win," DeKoven said.
