who have attempted to
sharply reduce the amount of money   -
allocated for minority programs.
"For so many years we've been
giving these guys a blank check,"
said Jim Flynn, senator from the
shcool of engineering. "What we
need to do is give them the money
but make them accountable for the
money they spend"
Last week, after the Finance and
Budget Committee was presented
to the senate, Flynn proposed an
amended version. The flynn amend¬
ment cuts deeply into monority and
cultural programs and leaves more

money in the unallocated fund for
distribution during the school year.
Opponents of the amendment
have labeled it racist, charging that
it unfairly cuts those programs that
are minority-oriented and leaves
other areas untouched. At last
week's senate session, flynn was
called a racist by members of the
senate and a largely Chicano aud-
Flynn denies that the budget he
has proposed is racist, saying that if
a program or specific project is
worthy of A.S funding, the group
sponsoring the event should come
before the senate and request addi¬
tional funding. Flynn's proposed
budget leaves a larger amount of
money in the unallocated fund than
senate rules require.
"The money will be there in unal¬
located," Flynn said yesterday.
"But the cuts had to come from
somewhere, so they should come *
from the areas that have the most
mopey."
A majority of the senate support
the flynn amendments, but the
senate broke into disarray last week
when two attempts to bring the
motion off the senate floor failed
because the necessary two-thirds
vote for such an action could not be
attained.
According to senate sources, the
budget deadlock is no closer to
being resolved, Today, the senate
will take an item-by-itero approach
to passing the senate, with a vote on
each program funded by the A.S.

Minority funding cut fails in senate
Staff Writer
A senate coalition that for three
weeks has tried to reduce A.S fund¬
ing for minority programs collapsed
during a dramatic rollcall vote Thurs¬
day, allowing opposing senators to
regroup and pass a compromise
budget.
The compromise budget, which
was passed by an 11-1 vote, re¬
placed most of the money stripped
from minority programs by an
amendment last week by school of
engineering senator Jim Flynn.
The budget, passed just three
days before Friday's deadline, is
similiar to that originally proposed
by Finance and Budget Committee
members. Cuts in Chicano, Black
and Indian cultural programs, pro¬
posed last week by Flynn, were vir¬
tually erased by injecting more into
the 1983-1984 budget and leaving
less money for the senate to spend
during the next school year.
Flynn spoke in opposition to the
compromise budget during debate,
saying. "It gives a disproportionate-
amount of fundmg to a small number'
of groups. And by reducing the
amount of money in the unallocated
budget, "it leaves little room for

proposed this budget forgot that

in chaos when several senators left

Sheen yesterday ended attempts to

backed down and voted against

Down-to-earth pastor
relates to popular art
Wednesday
May 4,1983
Karl Koch leads what most people
would probable consider a somewhat
diversified lifestyle.
He likes reading "Rolling Stone" and
"Mother Jones" magazines, eating Mexi¬
can food, and going to an occasional
party.
He also likes a variety of music (includ
ing some rock and new wave), spending
time with students, and leading his con¬
gregation through worship on Thursday
nights and Sunday mornings.
Koch (pronounced "cook") is the pas
lor of the Lutheran Campus Ministry
located on Shaw and Jackson Avenues,
across the street from CSUF.
Although Koch, 34. has been working
with students at the ministry since 1978,
he views himself as a human being first
and a pastor second.
"My humanity is as much of who 1 am as
my title," he said. "That's why I prefer the
term 'Pastor' to 'Reverend.' Reverend
seems so distant, whereas Pastor is a
functional term, it comes from the term
'shepherd.' It gives the connotation of car¬
ing for people."
Music by Men at Work, Supertramp,
Billy Joel, and many popular artists are
used to start and finish Koch's sermons,
he believes that "there's a lot of theologi¬
cal content in popular art" and said he
tries to reflect that in his
Koch said that some of his other musi¬
cal tastes include Jackson Browne,
Jethro Tull, lOcc, Hall and Oates, Duran
Duran, and a variety of others.

he said. "For me, everything reflectsln
some sense a religious conviction, who
knows if Led Zeppelin worships the devil?
Maybe they can say that because it sells
records. I mean let's face it — they're m

"I like to think of everything in theologi¬
cal terms because that's my discipline,"
he said. "And basically, I feel that people
are expressing their concerns, whether it
be about political issues or social justice

Student develops futuristic irrigation system
An experimental solar drip irrigation sys¬
tem, which was developed by CSUF gradu
ate student Lee Osnas, may change the way
farmers irrigate their fields in the future.
The system, operating on 7.2 acres of
CSUF vineyard, is powered by solar panels
which convert sunlight into electricity. The
electricity is then used to power a pump
motor. Next, the pump drives water
through the system, irrigating the field.
"It is a low-pressure highly efficient solar
drip irrigation system located on 7.2 acres of
vine, but you could use it for any other crop
that drip irrigation is used," said Osnas.
Osnas said that the system has four indi¬
vidual blocks, which regulate the water. The
blocks can be programmed separately to
use water more efficiently
The system can pump, out 130 gallons of
water a minute at 17 lbs. of pressure. Oper¬
ating at full capacity it can pump up to
60,000 gallons of water a day.   ,    .
"Normally, conventional drip systems
designed before, can run at much higher
rate and pressure then what we are running
out here," Osnas said.
The project cost about 140,000 plus labor.
All the equipment was donated by private
industries, such as Arco solar, Agrifim,
Simpsin and tyrert-Q'Ne-L
The parts needed for the project were not
cheap. The solar panels alone cost $30,000.
CSUF students did aD the labor.
