The Daily Collegian
CU coordinator leaves puzzle in wake
Aftershocks continue today in the College Union
Programming Office following a shake-up which led
to the June 30 termination of CU Program Co¬
ordinator Peg Brokenshire.
According to Brokenshire and students she worked
with, it was her dedication to students that led to her
problems with CU management.
Brokenshire said she was given the choice of
resigning or being fired.
"It was a real shock to me when they asked me to
resign." said Brokenshire, now executive director of
Lc Centre Du Silenc, an international school for mime
in Boulder, Colo.
Terry L. Noble, personnel manager for the CSUF
Association, Inc., which runs the College Union, said
Brokenshire "resigned for personal reasons."
"It was her choice," said Noble. "Every employee
has a choice about what happens in their life and she
chose to resign."
Noble said if an employee were given the choice of
resigning or being fired, there is an appeals process
that eventually leads to the final decision being made
by CSUF President Dr. Harold Haak or his rep-
He said Brokenshire was aware of this procedure
and had consulted with her attorney. With full
knowledge of her options and at theadvice of her legal
counsel, she resigned, according to Noble.
Student members of the CU Programing Com¬
mittee, who refuted to have their names appear in
print because they fear they too will be asked to leave
their positions, want an explanation from the CU
administration.
"WeVe been told it's a closed issue." said one
member.
"WeVe been told if we want to stay on the committee it
would be better if we didnl bring the matter up."
Noble laughed at the idea of action being taken
against students who supported Brokenshire.
As for it being a closed issue. Noble said, "there's
nothing we want tohide. There's nothing we can hide."
He said it is simply a personnel matter and a
management decision was made. State law prohibits

Grad students have little time to spare
There is a group of CSUF students
with fewer than 3*000 members
They pay $36 more than the average
student per year, yet 80 percent of them
take less than 12 units each semester.
The median age of their group is 29.3;
the most popular time for their classes is
They are the graduate students.
"I definitely feel separated from the
mainstream of students because I'm a
grad student," said Viola Taylor, a 23-
year-old who got her bachelor's degree
in communicative disorders and is
currently working toward a credential
in special education for severely handicap¬
ped. "There is so much more to do
Although she is taking only 11 units
this semester, Taylor finds that mottof
her time is accounted for. She has two
hours of field work a week per class; she
student-teaches TA hours a day, five
days a week; and she estimates that 14
hours per week are spent preparing les¬
sons and studying' for classes. Added on
to these commitments are 10 hours a
week at Macy's.
With the exception of her job at the
department store, Taylor's full schedule
is typical of those in her field. Similar
timetables are paramount for graduate
students in general. ■ ;
"There are a lot of sacrifices graduate
students have to make," Taylor said.
"When you're an undergraduate, yoo
study, go to class, and take exams.
When you're a graduate, you study, go
to class, take exams, and go out into the
community.
"I spend a lot of time each week work¬
ing with kids in the 'real world,'-she
explained. "I'm held accountable .to
ci ling back to class and reporting
wnat happened during those sessions
with them. Its a lot of responsibility."
Xnother graduate student who agreed.
with Taylor on the stark differences
between graduates and undergraduates.
was Larry Kersen, a seminary candidate
working on his Master's in Speech
Communications.
"When you Ye an undergraduate you
might get two weeks to prepare for an
exam." he said. "When you're a grau-
date student', sometimes you get only
until the next class period."
Kersten, like Taylor, is pursuing his
degree on a part-time basis.
"There is so much work with three
classes, and there is no use hating it
becaue you cant finish it all," Smith
said of his nine units this semester.
"There come* a .time in life when you
realize that you should enjoy what
you're learning if you spend so much
time learning it.".
Kersten estimates that he spends 20r
30 hours per week studying. That
doesn't include the 10-12 hours he puts
into student teaching, or the 10-15
hours he works at Fresno Racquet Time
each week.
"In one class I have a paper due every
week, and in another I have to read a
book and write a synopsis every two
weeks," he said. "I also have to write
two perspectives (for two classes this
semester and elaborate research experi¬
ment designed by the student.)
Things fluctuate' when it come to
hours spent on school, but it doesn't
look like it will get any easier."
Work is not the only difficulty related
to graduate studies. Compared to under¬
graduates, graduate students pay SI8
more per semester and financial aid is

Qualifications alone cant always
guarantee the graduate the job he
wants. Appearance can play an im¬
portant pan in the job interview.
A guide on what to wear and bow
to look appears in a special insert
today in The Daily Collegian, en¬
titled, Dress For Success.
