campus news. Through those years, be has seen it atrophy, not from
neglect, but from tha apitafumeas and hatred of a few who are em-
harassed by tha truth.
The truth about Paul's departure Is that for some months various
persons bad been hinting that there might not be funds for his salary
by the next student budget fiscal year.
Understandably concerned, Pauls, being SS years old, became
anxious about his personal financial future. Then, lo and behold, a
"plan" called for Pauls to be certified medically unfit for work so that
he could qualify for a disability retirement pension.
Paula isn't the healthiest of men. His limp left arm attests to the
near crippling polio he fought as a child. While bare, he was overworked and desperately hied to keep things running smoothly. He
didn't want sympathy, Just a manageable Job.
But the Job became too much, especially after two other full-time
Collegian employes were released earlier this year.
Pauls' pleas for additional help went unanswered by Tom
McGonagill, a CSUF accountant, David Bell, dean of student affair*
and student senate advisor, and some of the atudent government
officials they direct. Yet these same folks Jumped at the chance to
dispose of the man "because of hla health;" aa they aald Ihe other
day. Their concern Is mockery.
More realistic, bowevert Is the glum fact (hat with Paula goea Ihe
financial roots of The Collegian It Will be difficult, if not impossible,
to find a i. .rson with Pauls' advertising background. If a student is
hired, there will be fewer ada coming in, thus less income. Advertisements Just don't "come rolling in "as Bell seems to think
It wss suggested by Dsvid Nikaaarian, associated students
president, that The Collegian not run any advertising When told that
the newspaper could probably not hire enough reporters to provide
stories to fill the additional apace ada normally fill, Nikaaarian
suggested that The Collegian cut back Its frequency.
In about six months, (his newspaper has gone from five to two
editions each week and has lost three full-time employes. What other
student budgeted area haa endured such reductions? Now Nlkssarian
snd others want meat from a skeleton. Or do they want the skeleton?
In the past few years, Ihe Collegian has been on the decline. The
reason cited most often for this decline is s lack of funds We have
alwaya been willing to sacrifice, so long as the financial burden la
shared equally.
However, It la not.
Men's athletics continues to be favored by those in power A five-
year contract giving it 33 per cent of Ihe student budget is witness to
that. With Ihe spendable portion of Ihe budget shrinking each year
through inflation and rising costs, some areas will have to be
draatlcally reduced in urder to keep favored activities going at their
