Injuries deplete offense The Bulldog football coaching staff couldn't believe their eyes Saturday afternoon In Montana. Flrat fullback Vance Boyea Injured hla shoulder on the second play of the game, and then running back Jack Wender was out with an injured knee. It took only five minutes for the CSUF starting backfield to be out ofthe game. During the second quarter, tight-end Calvin Young noticed that his right hand was swollen. Yesterday Young waa at practice wearing a cas't on his right hand, protecting an Injured thumb. Boyes was operated on Monday morning by team physician Dr. Tom Thaxter to repair his separated shoulder. According to team trainer Paul Schechter, the operation went as expected. Boyes is a 6-2, 200-pound senior agri-business major from Williams, California. He was a standout for Yuba College of Marysvllle before coming to CSUF. Wender's injury first appeared not to be very serious as he was observed walking on the sideline during the Montana Stat* gam*. But teats will be run on Wender Thursday to determine what damage waa caused to his knee. His condition for the rest of the season will be known Friday. Wender is a 6>-2, 202-pound running back from San Jose. Last year Wender briefly left the team but returned to win a starting spot on this year's squad.. He flrat played for DeAnza JC of Cupertino. Young's condition Is the biggest question mark, as hts injury will be Judged on a day to day basis. He did come out to practice on Tuesday and did some running, but little pass receiving. His hand was not put in a cast until Monday. Young missed the first four games last season due to Injuries, but came on to catch 26 passes for 417 yards and a berth on the All-PCAA team. When asked If the Bulldogs had any more Injuries, Schechter answered, "Aren't those enough?" THE WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL learn named their second win ol the vcar against no.losses yesterday evening when they beat Reedley Colleqe 15-10, 15-6. Saturday, the women heat CSU, Sacramento.

CSUF has the second largest foreign student population of the 19 colleges in the State University and Colleges system. California State Polytechnic University, at Pomona, with about the same size student body, has a. larger foreign student population, said Bob Knudsen, head of the International Students Counseling Center at CSUF. , Saklna Fazleabas, from Srt Lanka (formerly Ceylon) a small Island off the coast of India, said, •! know hundreds of people by face, but how many do I really know?

The foreign students office has never been much help for students. I have never seen them go out of their way to help students," said Alavl, who has been here four years. 'They have never done anything to get foreign students together.* Gazleabas said, 'The International Students office hasn't i cooperated In programming." She doesn't blame Just the office but feels students are at fault too. She would like to see more clubs for foreign students on campus. "We need to show the campus we have something to go to,* she said. Pat Wilson, a temporary counselor at the International Students Counseling Center, said, It ls a pretty well known fact this office isn't meeting students' needs. ■Because we have been understaffed student programs have been overlooked," she said. 'Not much time has been spent with students whether it ls for programs or personal counseling.* 1 DO HAVE American friends . . . but I can count them on my fingers," said Saklna Fazleabas. (Photo by Jim Denman) PROBLEM Knudsen satd tbe -problem goes back a few years to when tbe foreign student population declined. When tuition increased, CSUF lost about 200 foreign students. Tbe International^ students center was then merged with tbe regular counseling center, Knudsen explained. "Aa the school grow to hare fewer foreign students we took on other responsibilities with the counseling center,* he said. The center started administering International programs for CSUF students from the U.S. who wish to study abroad. In addition, each of the three International students' counselors ended up spending about half of their time in regular counseling. Theoretically they were supposed to spend only a third of their time there, Knudsen said. . UNDERSTAFF1NU Understaffing caused them to drop a lot of programs. "A lot of things have gone by tbe wayside,* said Knudsen. Meanwhile, the foreign studeni population has been Increasing 'rapidly* during the last two years, Knudsen satd, and last year he asked for additional staff. The center got one staff member last summer and has had a temporary person since the end of spring semester. This week they should hare selected someone permanent to replace the temporary position, Knudsen said.
