'There should be no illusion huw

way that will be painless or popular '
'Very clearly, faculty, staff and stud

of our overall program-and will be
affected if we must accept reductions of
that magnitude,' ssaid Dumke "And,
in my opinion, if that happens the peo¬
ple   of   California   will   not   be   well

said Dumke. "that regardless of the
alternative-or combination of alterna
fives-which we might choose, there is
no way of cutting $69 million without
drastically cuting people' and people

Dumke said that a loss of people
meant a 'reduction of over 3,200 fac¬
ulty and staff, with a resultant loss of
capability that would force us.to deny
access to at least 31,000 students '
The students haven't appreciated
this idea though The Associated Stu¬
dents Council of San Jose State Univer -
sity adopted a resolution on Nov 15
against the 10 percent reduction plan
In the resolution, joe Trippi, chair¬
person of the Student Council, said. *ln
the name of austerity, we could be
watching the erosion of the most open
educational system in the country *
Dean ol Student Affairs William C or
coran told the Senate that the 10 per
cent reduction plan is not an 'across
the-board" type, but instead one where
the programs at each university would
be ranked in regard to their priority
Then the cutting would begin at the
bottom until 10 percent was reached
The Chancellor, however did say
that dismissing over 1,200 employees
of the system would be "an impractical
Another way of cutting 10 percent
would be toreduce the most expensive
progrmas,  thereby denying  access  to
Sciences, Engineering Agriculture

physical   education   and   athletic   pro
Dumke also said an alternative would
be to close five of the smaller campuses
or two intermediate campuses and one
large campus
"Many of our campuses provide a
principle source of employment .for
their communities," said Dumke in
explaining the impact of campus clo¬
sure on the local economy 'They are in
many cases the biggest business in
town The existence of a campus large
or small provides a tremendous stirnu
lus to the local economy "
"It is fait to assume that for each
<ampus employee, at least one-half of a
;ob is created elsewhere in the neigh
boring community Therefore, in addi
[ion to the effect of denial of access to
wxilcl have an extremely adverse im
pad on the towns and cities where our
campuses are located," he said.
Dumke also mentioned phasing out
state supported,     year-round     school
Kiddle told the Senate he was furious
that Brown would put this reduction on
the CSUC system
"Ive been seeing pamphlets and
statements saying how the Governor is
a friend of the students in this state,"
Riddle said 'But it bothers me to no
end that the Governor of this state
claims to be a friend of the students '
Riddle said that the Governor is not a
friend of the students and has no inter¬
est at all in student affairs which, he
said, is evident by the reduction plan
he ,s calling for
"My personal observation," said
Riddle 'is that he wants to ride this
thing (the reduction plan) all the way to
the White House '

Crime prevention
Pinpointing problem areas on campus
n an effort to pinpoint the areas of
■ viest crime on campus, the Univer
i Police Department's Crime Pre¬
dion Unit has instigated a system of
.rung all crimes reported. The
.ults according to coordinator Mike
Heilly will be used to inform patrol,
rveillance, and investigative units
those areas needing greater protec-
rhis is the first time such an effort
campus crime analysis has been
dertaken at CSUF, and O'Reillys
ills now hold the numerous charts
dt will tell the story.
T here are four areas being charted

rer O>lor-coded pins represent
mes ranging from bike theft to grand

atuin on campus that the particular

A
So far this semester, bike theft has
been the heaviest of all crimes, with
much of it occurring around the dorms.
OReilry said he expects the numbers
to increase with warmer weather and
so greater use of bicycles.
Commercial burglary is another
major problem, according to the chart.
One example of that this year was the
Movember incident of forctd entry into
every tack room connected with the
horses Apparently when students
were away at a rodeo in Arizona some¬
one broke in and stole up to $7,000
worth of saddles and other equipment
There is also a' chart of crimes
reported on a monthly basis. At the
end of each month, those pins will be
moved onto the semester chart.
On another wall is a breakdown of
crimes reported during specific shifts
and on what days they occur. So far
this year, Monday has been the busiest

O'Reilly, who said that "prevention
is the way to go,* said he intends to do
surveys on all buildings on campus,
regarding their safety, particularly at
night. He has already done such a sur¬
vey of the Communicative Disorders
buildings, and submitted it to the
department head.
When asked If there had been any
action taken on his recommendations,
O'Reilly said that he had noticed that

Shrubbery appears to be a major
deterrent in the safety of an area, and
O'Reilly often mentioned recommend¬
ing the trimming of such bushes to
allow greater light diffusion.
Another recommendation he submit¬
ted was the removal of a sidewalk that
lead to the one outside entry into a
building. The presence of the sidewalk,
He said that while CSUF has not had
a single case of rape in the past four
or five years, such protective measures
also help to prevent future assault on
According to one map of the campus,
the areas considered least safe at night
are the lab school and its surrounding
grounds, the track field,' the health
services area, and O'Neil Park. An¬
other map suggested that students are
safest if they stay on the main thor¬
ough-fares of the campus. Said O'¬
Reilly,'We can't be at all places at one
time,* and accordingly, the safer
places are going to be those where pat¬
rol cars can travel.
Facilities poor
AS senate receptive to weight room proposal
By TOM MAURER
the idea of upgrading the CSUF
weight room was given a warm re¬
sponse by the Associated Students Sen¬
ate Dec 5 when Pete Conrad, Intra¬
mural Recreation director, presented tt
and two other proposals for considera-
in addition to Conrad's presentat_«i,
_ letter from CSUF student Carl
S. hmitt was read to the Senate for its
niormation on the crowded cprtdftlons
■I the weight rbom:
Conrad described the CSUF recrea-
non facilities 'the worst In the (CSUC)
system* and asked the Senate for some
k md of feedback on his proposal to up¬
grade those facilities  (See the Dec. 5
issue of The Dally Collegian for more
details)
In addition to the weight room, which
Conrad estimated an improvement to
cost $50,000 to $100,000, he proposed
saunas for men and women students
and a platform to view the matches
being played in the four raquetball
Conrad told the Senate he'd be coor¬
dinating the effort for the weight room
with other organizations on campus as
well as the AS.
The letter from Schmitt informed the
Senate of poor working conditions in
the weight room and suggested areas
of improvement (See the Dec. 1 issue of
The Daily Collegian for details).
' In addition, he sent a copy of a peti¬
tion circulation among the campus
since the beginning of the semester
with some 400 signatures regarding the
