SAILING HIGH
Additional computer funding requests rejected
CSUF's Center for Information Proces¬
sing received informal notice two weeks
ago that an additional funding request of
$552,000 from the State has been denied.
"It's a process that happens," said Jim
Morris.directoroftheClP.-Wearevery
disappointed."
The C1P plans its prospective budgets
two years in advance. This request con¬
cerned the 1986-87 fiscal year budget.
An informal report said the CIP, which
operates on an annual budget of $2.6 mil-
.  lion, would receive "zero-baseline funding."
Because of the denied request, the CIP
will be unable to start and develop several
new computer labs that had been proposed.
One in particular was the Macintosh
lab. According to Steven Salt/berg, assis¬
tant director of instruction and research at
the CI P, this lab was designed to get more
students involved and working with com-
"This was to be geared towards students
who don't know much about computers,"
he said. "With this lab, they could learn
more and get interested."
Saltzberg said the lab would be designed
for students in the School of Arts and
Humanities, where computers and their
use are not as prevalent as in other
departmen'-
The Schools of Business and Engineer¬
ing use the computer system more than
any other school. Together, they have a
projected student enrollment total of
11,034 for fiscal year 1986-87, according
to statistics supplied by the CIP. The sta¬
tistics showed 8,867 projected contact
hours per week by business students alone.
This would require 167 workstations. The
lack of funding, however, will prevent
terminal rentals in large amounts.
The Data Communications project will
also be affected by the lack of funding,
according to Morris. This would have
provided more terminals and computers.
The project would have been the back¬
bone for virtually all computers on campus.
Additional disk space that had a
been anticipated will not be there. The
space would have provided more informa¬
tion storage and allowed more users on
the computer. The system would have also
worked a lot faster, Morris said. i
Part of the requested funding would
have gone towards contracting a Tele¬
communications Manager, Morris said.
This person would have managed and
networked the entire system.
Morris said the CIP bad also asked the
chancellors office to find a separate source
of money, besides the budget, to pay for
