Lab enrollment increases,
tutors help sharpen skills
By Tkn Hurrianko
Staff Writer
The CSUF Writing-Lab is experiencing
a slight increase in enrollment even
though the English Department has cut a
number of writing classes this semester,
according to the director.
Dr. Lillian Faderman is in charge of
the one unit course that is designed to
help students improve writing skills.
A student who signs up for the one-
hour class that meets twice a week class,
on a credit/no credit basis, will work in
groups of three with a tutor.-
According to Faderman, the class
"deals with everything." and helps a
student work on detailed writing. •
"We want the student to draw out his
writing in a personal way," Faderman
said.  *—
Each tutor works with three students
and tailors the program to fit the
individual's needs.
"We try to make the class interesting
while we cover the basics of good
writing," Faderman said.
It is not required to be enrolled in
another English class. However, 75
percent of the students enrolled in
writing labs are.
"A lot of our students are good writers
who just want to get beuer," Faderman
said.
The class is not a "fixit shop,"
Faderman stressed. However, the tutors
are there to lend assistance.
Many times a student will be
recommended to the course by a professor
who feels the student may need a little
extra help.
Tutors for the course are composed of
English graduate students, good writers
and seniors, Faderman said.
The lab also assists those who are
studying for the California Basic Educa¬
tional Skills Test. So far, the four students
who have taken the lab for that reason
have passed the exam, according to tutor
Karen Lynch.
Faderman likes to tell the story of the
student who could not even write a
paragraph at the start of the ^emester and
by the end of the semester had turned out a
21-page story.
The instructors are fantastically
supportive of this program because it
really helps them out," Faderman said,
"they arc always telling me success
stories."
Funds found to redesign
CSUFs Campus Plarming Committee
members voted Friday to fund a master
plan for the university, a decision which
is both controversial and important,
according to board member Paul Bisson-
nette.
The master plan the committee is
considering will involve the architectural
layout of the university through the
1990s. Renovations to the Speech Arts.
Ag-Mechanics, and Engineering buildings
are under consideration, Bissonneue said.
Members at the meeting voiced
concerns over the expense of the proposed
master plan It was pointed out that
conducting a master plan involves con¬
siderable   expense,   running   into   tens   of
BLOOM COUNTY
thousands of dollars. Other members
argued that a master plan for the university
is long overdue. At the end of the
meeting, committee members unanimously
decided to institute the plan.
The Campus Planning Committee was
established as an advisory bo|rd to the
university president in 1961. The
committee currently has 11 members. The
committee's concerns range from major
renovations to the placement of kiosks
and park benches dn the campus.
Bissonneue said the committee tries to
maintain a balance in size between CSUFs
respective schools. He said academic
considerations* not aesthetics, are para¬
mount to the members of the committee.

ideal of plainness and lack of
extravagance.
But they don't. They ask for money and"
get it.
If saving souls and spreading the word
of God were their real concerns, money
would be secondary. But Oral's latest quest
for a large amount of money, especially
by saying God will punish him just as a
loan shark in Chicago's south side
punishes his clients, shows what really
motivates these people to preach: S$S.
