The motion was made by legislative vice-president Dave Davenport, who suggested the committee be composed of himself,
Carl Levin (CSUF President
Norman Baxter's representative
on lbs board), board member Dr.
Robert Lee and student senators
Marie Garcia and Norm Andrews.
The board also approved a
proposal by Association General
Manager Earle Bassett that the
board purchase a factory rebuilt
NCR 33 accounting machine for
$4,598.79. The proposal allocate*
the costs over a five-year period.
The purchase price would come
from the FSC Association
($3,598.79) and $1,000 from the
Agricultural Foundation of CSUF.
Programming costs will be approximately $650, on a one-time
charge.
The Association's accounting
office currently utilizes two accounting machines, one which has
fully depreciated and the other
with a present book value of
$4,420.12 (It was purchased In
1966 for $14,364.48).

The board also approved a
Student Senate request that the
board Increase the theatre budget by $400 so that a musical
director and choreographer could
be hired for fall and spring musical productions. Each will be
paid $100 per production. The
money will come out of the Association's Operational Reserve
Fund. Board members voting
against granting the funding request said the money should come
instead from the Senate Contingency Fund, which has adequate
reserves to provide the $400
requested.
Bassett said the Student Senate
should only make such a funding
request to the board after the

Fund Is exhausted.
