included in the 1984-85 itate budget
$468,000 for preliminary planning for
the buildina.
In addition, thegovenor hat assured
CSUF officials that the $10 million
needed for construction will be in¬
cluded in the 1985-86 state budget,

According to Burton, a new building
has been a dream of the ever-growing
business school for perhaps 20 yean.
'Nothing short of an
economic disaster will
prevent us from having that
money next year...'
—Burton
Plans for a business building
were discussed in ihe earljr 1970s
and drawing! were completed in 1974,
bat were scrapped because they were
tneonsnvtent with university needs at
tbetime.
Last year. CSUF officials had hoped
that state funds for the architectural
planning of the building would be
included in the budget. However, no
construction funds for higher educa¬
tion were approved.
But now, Burton believes that a year
has not been lost/since full funding for
the project will be included in the 1985-86
state budget. Besides, said Burton, the
past is history.
"Nothing short of aa economic dis¬
aster will prevent us from having that
money next year." said Burton. "The
governor is predicting a $1 billion sur¬
plus., .we'regonna have that building."
The new facility will be bu'ilt on an
open area between the New Science
Building and the Phebe Conley Art
Building. The completion date it sche¬
duled for mid-1988.
For now, the business school will

In the fall, CSUF's library taw
$300,000 cut from its staff salary bud¬

said university librarian UUie Parker.
This resulted in the lots of one librarian
'position, two support suff positions and
11.5 student mhiint jobs.
."Right now we have aa almost $9,000

Parker is confident that the deficit
will be alleviated, but said the "source
for the funds is not exactly clear at this
point."Commenting on Deukmejian't
balanced budget proposal, Parker feels
that while the library budget will not
be "radically better," it is expected to
improve.
Monetary cuts have affected the effi¬
ciency of some library services evident
in longer lines and an increase in the
time it takes to reihelve returned
books. Shorter library hours have also
beta of concern to studenu.
Despite staff cutbacks, Parker said
