what they requested.
■One good thing about com¬
puters Is that they don't make,
mistakes.*
Figures released by Adams
show 54 per cent of the nearly
14,000 CAR participants received -
the schedules they had requested.
Adams satd the figure closely
corresponded with estimates
made beforehand. -"
Other students also grouped as
satisfied, were the 26 per cent
getting complete schedules, but
with different times or sections.
Fourteen per cent of the stu¬
dents received partial schedules
because the classes they asked
for were closed. The remaining
six per cent got partial schedules
because of time conflicts.
the   semester,  class programs
Adams said some students
weren't careful enough when they
filled out the CAR form..He satd
many failed to fill out their so¬
cial security number correctly.
A common error was placing two
digits ln one box.
Another careless mistake
Adams found was In the 'Sched¬
ule me as follows" section. He
said some students blocked out
the box that corresponded with
•night classes only,* but then.
In turn, signed up tordaycjasses.
Adams said the computer could
do nothing but reject.
After the "Request for Classes"
forms were turned In, In mid-
December, they were sent to
Sacramento where an optical
marker reader transferred the
information on to computer tapes.
These   tapes  were  then  sent

In the first run, 70 per cent
of CAR participants received
"complete schedules." The fig¬
ure rose sharply to 77 per cent
In tbe second and to 30 per cent
In the third.
The Improved efficiency with
each run was due to the Installa¬
tion of a new schedular program
after the first run, and because
of departmental response to stu-
Boyle said the . biggest ad¬
vantage of CAR Is the faculty
knowing six weeks ahead ot time
which classes will be In demand.
Classes can then be added or
dropped to "respond* to the de¬
mand. Manual registration was
too close to the beginning of the
naking rearrangement
impossible.
Overall, 181 coarse sections
were added to meet demand while
196 coarse sections were can¬
celled.
•The more the faculty re¬
sponds to student demands jfor
for classes, the higher tbe num¬
ber of satisfied students will
become,* said Boyle.
Adams indicated that ln one
or two years, registration at
CSUF will be done completely by
mail. Taking an I.D. photo would
be the only reason a person would

PROF. GERALD JOHNSTON
Cagle, assistant professor of
speech, Is also president of the
CSUF chapter of the American
Association of University Pro¬
fessors (AAUP), one or three
groups which comprise the CFA.
The other two groups making up
the CFA are the California State
Employes AssocIatlon(CSEA)and
the California Colleges and Uni¬
versities Faculty Association
(CCUFA)
After the bill becomes law,
Cagle said an election will be;
held In the California State Uni¬
versity and Colleges system for
iculty members and staff to se-
a state-wide bargaining
.*..... Cagle said the CFA will
run against United Professors of
California (UPC) and the option
"of no agent. No agent means the
faculty "places. Its trust intlyj,
administration to appropriate
salaries and working conditions
for the faculty,* Cagle said.
•All the faculty associations
want to strengthen the cause of
higher education In the state."
said Cagle. *We concur on many
of tbe major goals such as the
necessity of getting higher salar¬
ies, better frtnga benefits and
better working conditions.* *>
However, eagle said the re¬
cently formed CFA disagrees
with  the UPC over how these
goals should be obtained.
Cagle satd one difference be¬
tween the organizations ls that
CFA has endorsed the 1940AAUP
statement on academic freedom
and tenure, while the UPC has
not. Cagle believes thlsdocument
Is the "cornerstone* to academic
freedom, and emphasized that
over 85 other organizations have
endorsed It.
Dr. Gerald Johnston, president
of the CSUF chapter of UPC
said the UPC "strongly supports*
academic freedom and tenure.
"We have our own position op
academic freedom and tenure and
see no reason to endorse some
other organization's position,"
he said.
According to Cagle, CFA be¬
lieves ln the concept of shared
responsibility between the facul¬
ty and administration, ln which
both the faculty and administra¬
tion work together In a collective
bargaining situation.
Johnston, an assistant profes¬
sor of accounting and quantitative
studies,, satd the UPC believes
the faculty should have both
shared responsibility and an ad¬
versary relationship with the ad¬
ministration.
•A lot of things should have
shared .responsibility, but we also
simultaneously have an adver-

by contract to accept it.*
AnolheXdifference between the
organizations is UPC considers
Itself to be a union, while the
CFA considers Itself to be a
professional association.
■The union defines professors
as employes and the administra¬
tion as management,* said Cagle.
