Although ihe budget has yet to be
approved by ihe state legislature. Assist¬
ant Vice Chancellor Louis Messner said
that CSUF would receive $79,208,889 of
the governor's $1,339,669,000 budget for
the entire CSU system.

The FTE enrollment al CSUF has
increased by approximately 250 FTE
students for a new total of 14,000. Helen
Gigliotti, CSUF's assistant vice president
of the academic budget, explained that the
majority of funding from the FTE alloca¬
tion goes to faculty support, operating
expenses and equipment fees.
"All of our funding is based on FTE
students." Gigliotti said, adding that the
budget allocations per FTE have been
reduced from last year.
Messner said this year's budget credits
each FTE enrollment with $5,668. The full
lime enrollment standards are found by-
dividing the total number of student credit
units at the university by 15 approxi¬
mating mc needs ol the campus to support
that number of students.
Also specified in the governor's budge^
was a reduction of 144 staff positions
within the CSU system, Gigliotti said,
"which the chancellor's office will proba¬
bly decide how to distribute."
Other reductions include financing of a
program suggested by the chancellor's
office to increase minority representation
in the CSU system. The chancellor's office
had asked for $5 million, but the governor
approved only $660,000.
A proposal in the trustee's budget for
$11,800,000 toward computer access by
faculty and students was eliminated,
Gigliotti said, which may have a poor
effect on the computing center at CSUF.
Also, the faculty travel budget, $36,000 at
CSUF last year, was eliminated from the

Athletic director speaks on pressure, integrity
The integrity of athletics today is
based on satisfactory progress from
student athletes, said the director of the
CSUF athletic program yesterday.
Jack Lengyel, who coached six dif¬
ferent sports in 22 years before coming
to CSUF, spoke on coping with pres¬
sure in athletics in the opening series of
the Learn-at-Kunch seminar held in the
Main Cafeteria, room 202.  	
Progress is important "
doesn't look like we are proselytizing
student athletes to our programs and
utilizing them and casting them away
without a degree," he said.
Student athletes have more restric¬
tions and obligations as individuals
than Ihe average student,  Lengyel
"It is very difficult to practice
(sports)...and also maintain a'satisfac-
tory progress report," he said.
Forward Brian Salone, a senior psy-

work part-time can see the same work
load. But basketball is a full-time job."
Basketball requires 30 hours a week in
mental and physical hours, he pointed
But despite the added restrictions,
over 80 percent of male athletes and 40
percent of female athletes have a cul-
mative GPA of 2.00 or better, he said.
Part of this success can be attributed
to the Academic Counseling Core group.

Another counseling group is the Stu¬

program addresses any type of prob¬
lems that the student rrJtV have adjust¬
ing to college life. The** problem* may
be alcohol and drug abuse, anorexia or
financial problems.
