Students call for funds for lobbyists
Vl\
By STEVE SCHMIDT
Hoping to strengthen its political
clout, the California State Students
Association (CSSA) has asked the
Associated Student (AS) Senate for
$3.OCX) to add two lobbyists to the
'grass-roots'organization
In a report presented to the Senate
recently, CSSA member and AS Pres¬
ident Cordon Riddle cited lack of man¬
power as the primary reason for the
'The CSSA needs better public
relations to voice student opinions. It is
understaffed,' said Riddle
The CSSA membership is comprised
of California State University and
Colleges (CSUC) student presidents,
, representing over 310,000 students.
The Association voices student opin¬
ions on such issues as tuition and
budget-cuts before the state legislature
and the CSUC Board of Trustees
The AS has- already I
the CSSA $3,050 for the 1978-79 fiscal
year. The new proposal, currently
under consideration , by - the Senate
Finance and Budget Committee,
would match any additional funds with
money   donated   from   other   CSUC
This combined allocation would meet
the payroll of the two full-time CSSA
lobbyists      /
One such job titled second Legisla¬
tive Advocate, would aid Sacramento' s
CSSA lobbyist Craig Jones. Together
they would voice student concerns to
the state legislature and help coord
inate statewide CSSA efforts.
Another would be hired to solicit
grants, in a fund-raising effort, from
corporations and individuals.
An increased legislative workload
and a need for greater integration of
statewide and local lobbying efforts,
are other weaknesses the CSSA thinks
additional funds would help cure.

Tigers in town to take on diamond 'Dogs
When people think of February, one
of the first things they think of is
usually not baseball. Nevertheless,
with the basketball and wrestling sea¬
sons still going full blast,. Coach Bob
Bennett's Bulldog baseballers will kick
off their 1979 season with a three-game
series this weekend against University
The series will begin with a c	
this afternoon at 2:30 (re-scheduled
from 7:30) and conclude with a double-
header tomorrow beginning at noon.
All games will be in Beiden Fielo.

Cagers return engagement
By LINDA MARTY
Daily Collegian Staff Reporter
A return engagement is in store for
the CSUF women's basketball squads
as they take to the road for a four-game
series this weekend.
Tonight both the Bulldog varsity and
junior varsity squads will face San Jose
State teams for the second time in a
week. The CSUF cagers hosted the
Spartans last Friday night.
Varsity coach Donna Pickel antici¬
pates a better outcome than last
week's contest in which the Bulldogs
bowed to San Jose 66-53.
*l think we really stand a chance
there," she said. Pickel pointed out that
CSUF has shown the ability to hold the
Spartans defensively but have had
problems offensively throughout the

percent concentration on the court at all
times," she explained. This, she felt,
has led to a high rate of turnovers and a

a fine 37-20 season.       —  :   .
CSUF baseball fans got their first
glimpse' of the 1?7£ edition in action
last week during the^nual vars'rty-

The varsity did prevail decisively, 11-0,
but the run total was piore a reflection
of the somewhat eroded ski lis of the
alumni than of any great varsity offen¬
sive potency. Oft the other hand, the
Bulldog pitching was impressive In
posting the shutout.
In Coach Bennett'Sview; *We re¬
ceived some strong'pitching, but we
looked a little shaky on the field other¬
wise. I think some of the kids were a
little nervous because, it was their first
game competition of the year.'

While Pacific's defense was not out¬
standing in 1978, it will no doubt be
considerably less generous afield than
were the Bulldog alumni. ^ .
CSUF will have to generate its own
offense, and therein may lie another
problem for Bennett's squad.
The Bulldogs are heavily reliant on
left-handed batters, to the extent that
they(.may have an 'all-lefty* lineup '
against righthanders and should have,
six 'lefties* in the lineup on a regular
basis. This will leave CSUF vulnerable
to southpaws, and two of the top three
Tiger pitchers. Rich Leahy and Dan
Swanson, throw from theportside.
While Bennett's pitching plans were
not definite for the weekend, it is a
good bet that returning standouts Mark
Lohuis (11-5 and All-NCBA in 1978)
and Jon Reelhorn (8-3) will see action
against Pacific.
