AS president leading way | Letters
/vndrea Hedgley's skill as an organizer and mover of people
helped her attain the office of Associated Students president in
April. She is showing the same skills — and dedication — in
opposing the largesj fee hike in the CSU system's history.
From calling press conferences to printing and handing out fiy«-
ers to organizing anti-fee rallies to setting up an anti-fee demon¬
stration next week, Hedgley has shown remarkable dedication to
her office and to the students of CSUF.
If the students of this campus are to organize against further fee
increases, it seems unlikely that we will do it of our own accord.
Hedgley's leadership cannot be underestimated.
She is in a sense, serving as our conscience, trying to prod us
into action instead of writing our SI25 checks and grumbling to
our parents.
Unless we are willing to support Hedgley's efforts, even if the
-support is only as simple as registering to vote in the next election,
her work will be in vain.
We will have only ourselves to blame for the next fee increase.

Editor, The Collegian:
Getting started with the fall semester
each year always seems to catch one of
my two left feet. I don't mind aborting a
cleverly-conceived program for a ride
on the add-drop trip...really, I don't.
I dolft even mind the paralyzing wait
for my cam pus mugs hot. But my vulner¬
able little nervous system can only han¬
dle so much stress. The Bookstore is
driving me nuts!
Actually, the Kennel isn't directly
responsible for my brain-ache. You see,
when a student is a bad little person for
writing a bad check, his name is black¬
listed from the campus facilities.
If one has a Mastercard.it is honored.
But one doesn't usually own such plastic
if his account is low enough to bounce a
couple of checks. One may appeal to a
higher authority by contacting his bank
for a letter of recommended good
standing.
However, negotiations stop short
when the bank requests paperwork from
the Business Office. The last alternative
of cash is about as intelligent as carrying
a platter of steaks down skid row on a
Saturday night.
I sure wish the bookstore (or any
campus retail facility) would have some
money order and cashier check policy. I
would feel more efficient and less dis¬
graced than 1 now feel as I carry my
oversized wad of bills into Kennel.
Perhaps someday the campus will
have a better system of barter. Until
then, pass the Excedrin.

AS Senate: Collegian, Lecture Series wait
Requests by The Daily Collegian and
the University Lecture Series totalling
$18,000 in unallocated Associated Stu¬
dents funds were among three items sent
to committee during Tuesday's AS
Senate meeting.
Both requests - for $10,000 by the
University Lecture Series and for$8,000
by The Daily Collegian — were turned
over to the Senate Finance and Budget
Committee for review. Recommenda¬
tions will be heard at next week's AS
The two AS-funded programs tradi¬
tionally request — and receive — the
largest amount of unallocated AS
funds. President Andrea Hedgley said.
A third piece of new business, a
request for $ 1.250 for coordination and
production of a new student orientation
newspaper by the Office of Advising
Services, was also turned over to the
Finance and Budget Committee.
The only other request, for a $600
appropriation to the new CSUF
women's soccer club, was postponed
two weeks while the team's coach looks
into another potential funding source.
Ihe Collegian's funding request
sparked the most heated debate of the
nearly two-hour meeting, the Senate's
first of the regular school year.
Alex Pulaski, editor of the Collegian,
said an unusually high advertising
revenue estimate when the 1983-84
budget was made, combined with a
$1,000 increase over estimated printing
costs, forced him to ask the Senate for
the $8,000 appropriation. The Collegi¬
an's current school-year budget is
$115,150.
"I'd hope that you will meet this
request at the start ofthe year, in total."
Pulaski told the Senate. "If we have to
come to the AS two months from now,
how can our coverage of the AS be
unbiased?"
Pulaski said the Collegian's 1983-84
budget had already incurred 5742 in
debts from last year.
Sen. Earl Young, graduate studies,
said he hoped Pulaski would be able to
better educate the Senate committee.
Sen. Jim Gonzales, social sciences,
agreed with Young. When he motioned
that the matter be sent to committee,
however, AS President Andrea Hedgley
asked that it be amended.
"We need a long-term funding policy
for The Daily Collegian," Hedgley said.
"I think it's unproductive to simply
decide upon this request alone. It simply
doesn't solve a problem."
The-motion eventually passed
unamended, as Gonzales explained that
any further actions could be taken care
University Lecture Series representa¬
tive Tim Porter got virtually the same
response as the Collegian to his $10,000
request, as Gonzales hinted it wouldn't
pass a required Senate three-quarters
approval Tuesday.
Both measures, when returned from
committee, will require a simple major¬
ity for adoption.
The series currently has spent $27,500
to engage six speakers. Porter said. In
addition, series organizers are negotiat¬
ing with two more speakers.
However. Porter said in past semes¬
ters. CSUF has hosted 12-15 speakers
each semester. "We're on hold until we
know exactly how much money well get
from the AS," he said. "We can't nego¬
tiate with anyone until we have that
The Senate was apparently unsure
whether  Advising  Services'  request
couldn't be filled through funds other
than ASY
Hedgley suggested the $10 student
services fee might be a potential source,
but Tom Boyle, assistant dean of stu¬
dent affairs, questioned the legality of
such a move.
"Legally, student? committed to
enroll are not students yet." he said.
"I'm not sure whether those fees could
be used for them."
Peg Hayward of Advising Services
said prospective students now paya$IO
fee to participate in an orientation day.
Her office nets about $2,000 from that.
Hayward said, but the money is chan¬
neled into other activities and isn't
available for producing a newspaper
that would collate vital imformation
from the Bulletin and schedule of
courses in an easy-to-read format.
Women's soccer Coach Tom Metry
said his team's club status prohibits it
from receiving assistance from inter¬
collegiate athletics.
Metry said members were planning
on paying for much of the club's
expenses out of their own pockets, but
he hoped the AS would help defray their
