When someone stabs a
knife eight inches into your
heart, then pulls it out four
inches, you don't say thank
you."
— Van Ginkel
Bob Vega, CSUF accounting
the chancellor's
ilfice from the California State Student's
(CSSA), said the refund is
ill deserved and a positive move, but not
yone believes the reduction is as
praiseworthy.
After first learning ofthe modest reduc-
July, Edwin Van Ginkel, chairman
if CSSA, told the Fresno Bee lhat "when
knife eight inches into
pulls it out four inches,
say thank you."
The knife Van Ginkel referred to is the
in fees which began when
George Deukmejian first took office.
Saying that the sute was in danger of
going bankrupt, Deukmejian began cut¬
ting away at the funding given to the CSU
campuses. Last year he cut the CSU
budget by S82 million and vetoed a pro¬
vision banning fee increases.
These actions forced the trustees to
increase fees. (Fees are used by CSU
campuses to make up the difference be¬
tween money they receive from the state,
and their expenses.)
Fees paid by a full-time, undergraduate
student at CSUF have jumped from $135
to $384 since fall semester in 1981.
"We students never got anything from
those fee increases," Van Ginkel said in a
phone interview Friday. "All it did was
replace state funding.
This year, with a $2 billion surplus in
the state's budget, more money was ear¬
marked for the CSU system than the
trustees expected. This is why they were
able to grant a slight fee reduction.
The trustees voted to reduce the univer¬
sity fees students pay by $21 per semester,
and to increase the student service fees by
$1.50, explained Vega. This, combined
with a $4 increase in student center fees
approved by CSUF students, means that
many students who went through com¬
puter regtttration overpaid by $15.50.
Most of these students paid the fees
listed in the Fall schedule of courses,
which is now incorrect.
The correct fees now being paid by an
undergraduate enrolled in six units or
more is $325.50. Post baccalaureate stu¬
dents are paying $370.
Refunds will be given in the Satellite

said that there are many criteria
o evaluate an instructor, but that
law forbade him from discussing
personnel
He also said that the same restrictions
applied to the students who came to
office for an explanation as to why
Folley wasnt rehired.
"When the students came in here with
their protests and so forth, they had a lot
of what I call unfounded information.
And again I had to tell them the same
thing, I cannot discuss this with you or
anybody else because it's something to
which you cannot be privy."
Tocchio explained that if an instructor
is to be reappointed, it has to be by
nomination and a position has to be
available. But. he added, all we can do is
recommend. The CSUF vice president is
the only one lhat makes appointments,
•Tocchio said.
But Folley said that the nominating
process was not followed.
"1 didn't get an interview, I didnt even
get a rejection. 1 got a letter from the
secretary saying to check out."
The lack of an official explanation has
caused some of the frustration over
Folley's departure.  Folley said this is
because "there's no interest in what's
right, fair or just, only in what's legal.
That sail they care about."
John Loughney Jr., one of Folley's
former students, had a similar explanatiori
for what has become a controversial and
delicate,issue among criminology students.
"They have a terrible lack of interest in
. student affairs at this university. In Vern
Folley's case they did a great injustice, the

New president brings new concepts

Associated Students President Jeff
Hansen hopes to "mend fences and build
new ones" during his administrative reign
at CSUF this school year, 20-year-old
Hansen said from his second-story office
in the College Union.
The mending offences will be completed
when the communication gap between
student government and, the Haak Ad¬
ministration is bridged, said Hansen.
Previous student governments have had
rapport problems with the administration,
he said. Hansen plans to avoid such
problems by working closely with CSUF
President Harold Haak.
Hansen also wants to eliminate the
athletics vs. academics attitude on campus.
He said students are aligned on either side
of 'the battle when- they should be
supporting both camps.
"I want to bring the two entities
together," he Mid. "We should be a Red
Waver and students at the same time."
The Athletic Department is "trying to
promote all studenu," said Hansen. He
didnt always think that.
"I fell into the same trap other people
do. I used to think, 'This Athletic
Department is getting too much money
when other areas need it"*
His change of heart came about after
spending time with Athletic Director Jack
Lengyel, he said. Since then, Hansen said
he has a better understanding of the
department's need for funding.
"The Red Wave can be a big promoter
for CSUF," said Hansen. "It can entice
studenu into attending this university, as
can good schools. And we do have good
schools.  But right now it looks like
athletics  is the way we're heading.   If
athletics is our facet, then go with it."
First on Hansen's priority list u filling
30-40 AS committee positions that are  '
open. AS bylaws mandate those positions
be filled by the fifth week of school.
According to Hansen, that rarely happens.
"The big problem is getting studenu to
apply," said Hansen. "We're going to do
all we can to advertise those positions. Ill,
stay here unti) midnight interviewing
applicants—it means that much to me. I
want as much student participation as I
can possibly get."
A hard headed stickler for things runni ng
smoothly, Hansen said he plans to hold
executive meetings at least once a week.
He rationalizes that if tbe executive board,
is a tight group, then things will flow easily
through the senate.
Hansen also hopes to hold  Senate
