"I tried to get credit at lots of places. It was a real hassle.
... 'too young.' 'It takes two to six weeks'. . . and ...
'application denied.' Then I heard about State's Visa program. All I needed was a $1,000.00 savings account at
State. My credit card's secured'by my savings account
and ltcan charge up to half my savings balance! I tried it!
It worked! And, State's Visa card only charges twelve percent interest! Best of all, with my $1,000.00. I get a lot
of other services, too! - Free checking at a cooperating
bank; free Traveler's Checks, money orders and a safe
deposit box. Discounts on travel, entertainment-lots of
neat things through their Saver's Club. I'm glad I trans-
fered my savings to State. They're really different!"

Offering some rewards for student involvement
In a meeting of the Academic Policy &
pining committee last week, David
nark said student Involvement on com-
2J_es "ras b«en &***& -*»«••"
n_rk the CSUF associate vice president
for ac-demlc affairs, said this Do«r level
„f involvement "as due to tbe subject
-natter that committees cover, time
-roblerr-. and the transiency of students.
We leel student participation on com-
mWees is essential. It not only adds to
ihe educational experience of tbe indi-
vWuat students Involved, but It provides
the (acuity and administration with much-i-
oceded Input on now Issues discussed In
committee affect the classroom,
althoogta there are several openings
tor student members on campus committees, these openings are rarely filled
-ompletel'. Few committees have tbelr
"■quota" of students actively participat-
Many of the opportunities open to
-acuity members are not open to students. Student committee members
often have difficult)- perceiving exactly
what the student Interests are.
Students are not bound together by the
same forces (primarily economic and
political) that faculty members are.
Tbe respect or status conferred upon
students by their peers as a result of
their Involvement with committees ls
minimal. There Is no likelihood that
they will be "promoted" —with or
without committee Involvement. Students
at CSUF have tar less of a "campus
community spirit than the faculty.
Tbe Associated Students (AS) and the
Academic Senate wlU have to work together to change tbe current state of
affairs. By working together, we should
be able to ensure a richer, educational
experience for all.
"Faculty members are rewarded for their involvement by tbe

Trw first step for students interested In
servlnc on campus committees is tocon-
tact AS President BUI Brewer In CU
306 (Phone: 487-2657).
iampus committees appear to have
little trouble getting faculty members to
participate. There are many reasons
(or this:
Facult) members are Involved with
U» am pus for a longer period of time
than students, and are more apt to ac-
qtrtn i sense of "campus community
spirit."' Faculty members realize that
commltWt participation serves their
-t., personal Interests, as well as that
jf the community to which they belong.
Thei are also sometimes "roped"
atr cnmmlttees by their peers orsuper-
rlsors.
.-.cult-, members are rewarded for
their Involvement by the respect (or
"status": conferred on them by their
colleagues --and some are promoted
(u bast partllily) on tbe basis of their
Tbe AS needs to establish an official
position for the recruitment of students
to serve on committees. This "Commissioner of Committees", would also
serve as liason between tbe AS government and the Academic Senate. The
office would be appointed by tbe AS
president, since there would need to be
some rapport between the two.
TN- Academic Senate, while agreeing
In principle that students should be Involved have not really set up tbe mechanics for such Involvement. If tbe senate does Indeed desire to have student
input, Its members should help provide
tbe means to do just tbat.
This could take two forms. The Individual insturctors could set aside a
small amount of classroom time early
In the semester to allow the "Commis
sioner" or a representative to Inform
students about the committee structure.
And students could make "pitches" for
involvement by reading announcements
about committee openings in class from
time to time during the term.
A perennial excuse —offered by faculty members nationwide-- for not allowing class time to be used for such
recruitment is, "Students don't care."
If there ls, in fact, this malaise, this
unwillingness to get Involved, then yielding to It only encourages its growth.
Continual Contact
Tbe AS government should foster ln-
ter-communicat-on between students
serving on student-faculty committees.
Regular (at least monthly) meetings of
all student committee members and the
AS senate should be held. Many times,
topics are under discussion in more
than one committee. Communication
between students involved in such discussions would be invaluable.
Tbe Commissioner of Committees
should be responsible for reporting committee news to the AS senate. This
would make the Commissioner responsible for keeping in close contact with
student committee members.
As stated earlier, few of the
"rewards" tec-lty members receive
for committee participation work for
students. One thing that might work
—which has worked on other campuses—
Is coUege credit A class could be set
up In "Participatory American Government" with a faculty advisor (such as
tbe Dean of Students) to offer students
one to three units of credit, d
on tbelr involvement.
Another option to be explored might
be Independent study courses, revolving
around the Individual student's "project"
(e.g.. committee).
Campus Community       >»
Tills has been left for last, since this
ls the most difficult: making CSUF
more of a campus community. Vbatever
misunderstandings, antagonisms or barriers may have existed In the past,
tbey should be set behind us now La the
Interest of a more cohesive academic
To break down some of me barriers
between students and faculty, we might
attempt setting up a regular series of
student-faculty get-togethers.
In addlrJon, campus organizations
—including the AS government, the Academic Senate, departments. The Dally
Collegian, etc.— could sponsor regular
open bouses. This could be worked out
without a great deal of difficulty, since
many campus organizations already do
sponsor such things. (Maybe we would
find that what we really need ls a social
director.)
Better student-faculty relationships
are Important to The Daily Collegian.
We hope we are Important to you.
Any feedback you might be able to provide in response to the above would be
appreciated.
