In that letter, the senate listed

The senate's objections to the

Every year at budget time, the

small amount of hard feelings.

Waropler emphasized that in spite of
the delays and design changes, the new

library. He said It was not possible
' to Justify as large an addition as was
originally proposed because enrollment
at CSUF is now predicted to stay at

The new wing Is a "Badly needed
