Nelson Rockefeller Is on welfare.
So claims Jack Anderson, syndicated muckraker
and writer of the often caustic Washington Merry-
Co-Round newspaper column for the past lOyears.
Anderson told a packed house at the L. J.
Williams Theatre In Vlsalta Tuesday night that
he and every other taxpayer are tie ones who
pay for tax breaks and Incentives for wealthy
people and big businesses. He noted that the vice
president   paid   no federal Income taxes in  1971.
Anderson said that although he opposes welfare
he feels old people who work all their lives are
entitled to It If they are poor.
"It I'm going to give welfare I'd rather give It
to them than Nelson Rockefeller," he said.
ATTACKS KORD
Attacking President Gerald Ford's economic
policies, his voice bellowing, then falling to a
whisper, Anderson said no amount of government
sbusldy would persuade automobile manufacturers
or refrigerator makers to produce more than they
can sell.
When the poor are given government subsidies,
Anderson said, "They're going to spend it. For
food. They may even buy a refrigerator to put the
food In. Then my friend (a refrigerator manufacturer) will have an Incentive to build more
refrigerators."
Anderson, a Mormon with nine children, charmed
Ills audience with a handful of Nixon and Watergate stories.
In relating a story of Bess Truman nagging
former President Harry Truman to mow the law of
their Independence, Mo. home. Anderson said,
"I can't Imagine Pat nagging Dick to cut the lawn."
The crowd roared with laughter.
\
•" STUBBORN
"Richard Nixon likes to compare himself to
Harry Truman," Anderson said. "Both used expletives deleted, both were stubborn."
But the comparison ends there, said the columnist.
"Richard Nixon went Into political brawls with a
lead pipe," Anderson said.
•It didn't cost $376,000 to send Harry Truman
home," he added, and the audience broke Into
applause.
After his address Anderson told reporters In a
news conference that Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme,
the "lady in red* who allegedly tried to assassinate
President Ford In Sacramento Friday, acted on her
own volition.
•We've found no solid evidence ol any conspiracy," Anderson revealed.
He said the FBI should have ,peen watching
Fromme rather than keeping tabs' On the sex life
of Rock Hudson and the Secret Service should have
kept files on the statements of the woman Instead
of remarks by 84-year-old Groucho Marx.
Despite his frequent criticisms of the FBI, however, Anderson said "The FBI Is more concerned
about the rights of Individual citizens than any
other national police force in the world."
Cafeteria food lines may shrink

dog and coffee snack bar to tie
built near the College Union
Building's basement barber shop.
Flnlay said the proposed snack
bar would be open aliout the same
hours as the College Union recreation area on weekends(10 a.m.
lo midnight   on Saturday, noon to
10 p.m. on Sunday),  until  about
midnight    on    Friday   and   about
11 p.m.  Monday  through Thursday.
CHEAPER
The new facility, Flnlay said,
would operate more cheaply than
the present snack bar durine
evening hours.
"It will he small enough so
we won't need more than two
people  at  once," said Flnlay.
He said the five people normally employed In the College
Union s:'..n'k bar would be "too
costly to maintain" for the small
volume of late night and weekend
business. The facility's night and
weekend operation lost money
last year, said Flnlay.
PRICES
Food prices have also gone
through changes since last year.
Flnlay said. Many Items remaining from last year's menu
are cheaper, according to Flnlay,
and a few are more expensive.
Pastrami sandwiches have
dropped from $1.05 to 70 cents
at the College Union cafeteria.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are
down a nickel to 45 cents. Polish
dog sandwiches have gone down
15 cents tp$l.05.
Hamburgers, on the other hand,
have gone up a dime to GTi cents,
fish and rhips up IS cents to
$1.10, and r-hlli liurrilos now cost
CO rents, up a nickel from last
vear.

The    price    ol    chicken   sal.id
sandwiches lias soared from so
cents to 90 rents
Different prices at the snack
bar In Ihe old resident cafeteria
reflect different size imrtions
than served in the College Union.
•Everything reflerta the current market condition," said Fin-
lay. The high cost of labor and
poor harvests are ultimately reflected In the prices of rafetena
food, he said. A disastrous cof
fee harvest In South America,
for instance, has sent coffee
prices out of sight. A small (10
ounce) cup of coffee now costs
15 cents at the cafeteria. Last
year an eight ounce cup went for
If, cents and a 12 ounce cup for
20 cents. The new size Is a compromise to keep the prlcedown.
Likewise, food prices have
soared at the residence dining
hall.
Flnlay said the cost of Iwth
the 14 and the 19 meal per week
plans offered resident students
by tlit? university have been hiked
by $40 a semester. The 14 meal
plan now goes for $340 a semester, the 19 meal plan for $375.

CAR system 'works well
by Joe Ipsero
Despite some flaws, the Computer Assisted
H'^istratlon (CAR) program went very well this
semester, said CAR Director R. C. Adams.
"The system is working well," said Adams, "although some parts of it still need development."
Aided that most CAR problems are caused by
humans, a statement echoed by Charlene Wallert,
.> supervisor In the Admissions and Records
jffice.
"in one case,* said wallert, 'a group of students
listed as visitors had their CAR forms rejected
: the computer." A visiting student Is one who
I' "s not have all previous school records on file
it CSUF. However, the group Wallert spoke of did
h •• their records on file. "Someone forgot to take
" •• little v (for visitor) out of the computer," said
Wallert.
"I was surprised that those students who were
.. !fr ted took It so well," said Waller! of the "v"
nc'ims. "Not one of them," she added, "seemed
•■.happy."
ASTONISHED
tie  "v" victim, who wished to remain anony-
iruus, said her first reaction was one of astonlsh-
tr f*nr.

"I was astounded and angry that I wasn't registered," she said. "At first they (CAR personnel)
made it sound as If I wouldn't be able to get the
classes I needed." She was, however, successful
In obtaining her required classea.
Estimates of Just how many "v" foul-ups there
were varied. Wallert'said the number stood at
20, while Adams said it was "something above40."
Adams also said that four students had their forms
lost. "This Is lower than the 16 we had last year,*
he said.
OTHER PROBLEMS
Other major CAR problems were caused mainly
by students, according to Registrar Robert Board.
More than 2500 students failed to' mail In their
tuition this past summer. As a result they had to
register again In September, said Board. Still
others failed to rill out the CAR forms correctly,
he added.
"One major problem I have noticed," said
Wallert, "are students who indicate On their CAR
forms that they want only day classes hut sign up
for evening classes as well. Some students,'* she
said, "are not careful enough ln>filling out the
required forms."

Legal problems
for Senate vote
BULLETIN
David'Price HI, CSUF student body president, has announced
he will veto the Student Senate resolution that ousted Susan
tiood as legislative vice-president and David Nlkssarian as
College Union vice-president. The veto could be overridden by
a Iwo-lhlrds vote of the Student Senate.
by Bntce Scheldt
A number of legal entanglements have surfaced In the wake
of the Student Senate's removal of Susan Good as legislative
vice-president and David Nlkssarian as College Union vice-
president.
Dean David Bell, student affairs advisor, said he expects
both Good and Nlkssarian to bring -a complaint before the
Student Court. The five-member Student Court is the final
authority on the Interpretation of the CSFU Constitution and
Bylaws, Bell said.
This could take time though, according to Bell, because
there are four vacancies at present on toe Student Court.
The deadline to file an application for the Student Court
ends Sept. 23. The four positions will be appointed by AS
President David Price in from the list of applicants and confirmed by a majority vote of the Student Senate.       .
nell said he will urge Price' to act as quickly as possible
to appoint members to the Student Court.
COULD FILE SUIT
According to Bell, either Good or Nlkssarian could file a
suit In Fresno County appealing their ouster from office. But
Bell said It has been the general experience that courts will
not accept cases of that nature, leaving it to the student courts
of universities to decide Instead.
Good and Nlkssarian could retain their Jobs If Price of CSUF
President Norman A. Baxter veto the resolution which removed
them, Bell noted.
Bell said he thought It was only a remote possibility that
Baxter would exercise his veto power because It would get him
Involved In a political fight.
1 would hope he (Baxter) wouldn't get Involved,* said Bell.
"He should be mostly'concerned with the fiscal Interests of
the students and not the political business."
OVERRIDE
In the event that either Baxter or Price should veto the two
veeps' removal, the senate could override the veto by a two-
thirds vote, Bell said. The senate had the necessary two-thirds
vole Wednesday when it voted for the ouster. The vote was
eight for, three against, with one abstention, but three senators
were missing from the meeting.
The legality over the appointments of Good and Nlkssarian
is 'a moot point now, legally,* Bell said, because the senate's
resolution 'concerned itself with rescinding the confirmation.
I    of the two."
RECALL
Bell said be does not know what effect the legal ruling of
Bob Henry, legal counsel in the Chancellor's Office, will have.
Henry told Bell Thursday that the only means for removing
the administrative officers was by a recall election, not
through a rescinding action of the Student Senate, Bell said.
A recal' election requires a petition signed by five per
cent of the student body.
Bell said CSUF has the reputation of being a "unique university, politically.*
_fWe have more difficulty with out political tnsUtoUons than-
most universities," Bell claimed. *Msybe It's because our
students are more knowledgeable about politics. They can find
little things to make it more difficult."
