mend an approximate $90 student
fee reduction to CSU trustees in a
meeting at Long Beach today.
Fees per year would be reduced
from $692 to about $600. The fee
reduction would require the state to
provide about $25 million in addi¬
tional state funds to the CSU sytem.
Charles Davis, public information
officer for the CSU system, said
Reynolds will make the recommen¬
dation because she "felt fees had gone
up too fast and too much, particu¬
larly in the last two years."
In a news release from the Office of
The Chancellor, Reynolds said that
her fee reduction would include $47
lhat would bring CSU's closer to the
California Postsccondary Education
Commission guidelines on fee-setting.
Reynolds also opposes the use of
student fees to pay for student finan¬
cial aid programs, and said $42 of the
fee reduction will eliminate the fi¬
nancial aids subsidy.

Senate approves ticket plan
The Associated Students Senate had little trouble agree¬
ing with a committee's student basketball season ticket
distribution proposal Tuesday, passing it unanimously.
However, the Senate carried on a 40-minute debate
before agreeing to a funding request by the Latin-American
Support Committee. The Senate finally agreed to fund the
LASC's Central America Teach-in $800 on a 7-6 vote, with
two abstensions.
In other actions taken during its regular meeting, the
Senate funded the CSUF Fall 1983 Blood Drive $220 for
advertising; postponed a $1,500 request for honorarium by
the Vietnamese Student Association for two weeks; and
sent a student's request for a petition to committee.
AS President Andrea Hedgley, who did not attend the
Senate meeting, sent word via her legislative assistant, Ron
Gaul, that she waived her veto on all matters of the day.
That cleared immediate funding for the LASC request and
implementation of the ticket distribution plan.
The Senate agreed to a plan to distribute students'
allotment of 754 season men's basketball tickets in three

location and exact time will be announced this weekend.
— 200 will be alloted via a lottery Nov. 2. Lottery entries
will be taken next Monday and Tuesday.
— 14 will be alloted to handicapped students. Weldon
Percy, director of disabled student services, will distribute
Assistant Athletic Director Jeff Tennant said Monday
the athletic department "completely" backs the plan.
Sen. Joe Martucci and AS Legislative Vice President
Michael Baladjanian, members of the Public Affairs
Committee and formulators Of the plan, told the
Senate — after a question from the floor by Mark Der-
Matoian — that they would be determining the time and
place of the weekend line, along with Assistant Athletic
Director Dave Braine

raised S19 from last year, according to Athletic Ticket
Manager Mike Naughton.
Naughton said the new price — S44 per season ticket,

The surcharge, SI per ticket per game, goes toward
expansion of Selland Arena and has been added to every
CSUF season basketball ticket.
This year's home season Includes 19 games, one more
than last year, when students paid S45 for a season ticket.
Tickets for a Nov. 13 exhibition against the Italian
National team will be sold separately, Naughton said, at S8
and S9.
the
Neither Baladjanian nor Martucci would say whether or
not they planned on trying to obtain tickets via the line.
The LASC's request had been the center of heated
debate during the Finance and Budget Committee meeting
last Thursday, when several senators questioned its consti¬
tutionality. That committee finally gave the request —
which includes S500 for honorarium for speaker Ramon
Cardona and $300 for rental of three films — a positive
recommendation. The LASC budget is $1,672.50.
Concern during the Senate meeting again centered
around a question of constitutionality.
The question, according to Sen. Tom Watson, was whether
the LASC's proposal to bring in a speaker apparently
dealing with one side of the current crisis in Central Amer¬
ica, and not provide adequate representation for the other
side, was "propaganda" and not legally fundable by the
AS.   ►
Watson didn't feel the matter .was adequately handled
during the Senate meeting, and later announced that he
would take the matter to the Student Court.
Jennifer Colby, secretary of LASC, said her group
wanted Cardona, once a political prisoner in Honduras

By Asme Dudley
Some of the faculty at CSUF are
behind in their homework.
The Academic Senate Executive
Committee recently sent a memo to
President Harold Haak, which was
copied and sent to the nine schools of
education. The  memo expressed  the
plete their articles of governance, pro¬
jects which, according to Mike Biechler,
assistant vice president for academic
affairs — academic personnel, have been
pending for several years.
The schools of Agriculture and Home
Economics, Engineering and Business
and Administrative Sciences have sub¬
mitted articles to Haak that have been
approved, Biechler said, but may need
revision under changes in the faculty
The library's articles have been re¬
commended to Haak for approval,
Biechler said, but the remaining schools,
Arts and Humanities, Education and
Human Development, Health and Social
Sciences. Natural Sciences and Social
Sciences, are" in' varying degrees of
completion.

Critic assails big business media world
Newspapers and TV stations arc more
and more becoming "media subsidar-
ics" for big businesses, according to
Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and
media critic Ben Bagdikian.
Speaking before a John Wright Thea¬
tre audience Monday night, Bagdikian,
authorof Ihe book, 77ie Media Monopoly.
said that fewer and fewer people

nation's flow of information. He said
this is a "nervous-making" trend that
should worry observers. With people's
lives shaped to a great extent by the
media today, he said, people would be
wise to look long and hard at who's
doing the shaping.

irols the media?'" Bagdikian said. "This
kind of control comes at a particularly
tumulous time in our nation's history."
Bagdikian said that while researching
his book, he discovered that 50 national
and international firms control half the
output of the nation's 25,000 media
outlets. Companies have expanded into
the media so readily, he said, lhat con¬
trary to popular opinion, the newspaper
business is now among the five most
profitable industries in the country.
In addition to being profitable, he
said the media is also becoming more
and more powerful. In a day in which
the presidential hopes of John Glenn
may hinge on the movie. "The Right
Stuff," the influence of the media and
media owners is growing.
"When you own a newspaper you get
a lot of respect," Bagdikian said at a
pressconferencejust prior to his speech.
"If you own 50 newspapers, you can
pretty much writer your own ticket."
The problem, according to Bagdi¬
kian, is that as businesses grab more
media outlets for profit or power, the
public is exposed fewer separate voices.
With 50 corporations controlling half
the media, he said, the public suffers.
"Having such a small group with such
power is nervous-making," Bagdikian
said at the press conference. "Wc don't
have it in government and we shouldn't
have it in the media."
According to Bagdikian, the declin¬
ing number of media voices is particu¬
larly troublesome today, as national
and international events play a bigger
role in people's lives than ever before.
"Our lives are changed by distant
events as wasn't true in the past," he
said. "What we know of these distant
places comes more than any other source
from the media."
Further, Bagdikian said, the opinions
of the media have become more and
