Continuing the high standards that
have been associated with the CSUF
library is the goal of Lillie Parker, new
university librarian
Mrs Parker' s first day on the new fob
was Tuesday She replaces Henry
s/u^den. director of the library for 30
years and a man of national repute
Will Madden be a hard act to follow?
'He will be an impossible act to fol-
lovi " Mrs Parker said 'I have no
aspirations to follow his act I' II just be
•ollowing in his footsteps
'My goals are to continue the high
standards that have been associated with
this library in terms of its collections and
its services in light of the tact that we
have a declining budget * the 51-year
old librarian said
Mrs Parker is a 2B year veteran of
CSUF, coming here in July 1951 os a
junior librarian with a degree in library
science from the University of California,
Berkeley She also has a degree in poirt-
tcal science from Berkeley
She gradually moved up through the
ranks, profiting from reorganizations
and change in librarian classifications
In 1958, Mrs Parser was rnade head
of the catalog department and from
1965 to 1966 was the assistant university
librarian
In 1966 she was named associate
university librarian, a title she held until
Sept 1 of this year
Advisory board feels impact of student voice
The Associated Student Senate maintains student representatives on a number of CSUF advisory boards in an
effort to provide students wrth input into
the governing of their university
'I'm convinced we can make some
changes,' said AS President David
Ditora, even though students usually
tt>mprise half to a third of the committee
There are three students on the
advisory board that advises the financial
aids office on policies regarding the
eff lency of its operation
Among the responsibilities of the
Bookstore AdVisory Committee is to determine how the non-profit organiza
tion s revenue should  be  spent    The
Bookstore board also reviews policies
concerning its operation
One committee consisting primarily
of students is the student services
advisory board, said Ditora This board
determines how the fees students are
charged upon enrolling in CSUF be
spent
The I nstrurt tonally Related Activities
advisory board provides advice on
utilization of money for activities in
which class credit can be achieved This
advice is then provided to the president
of CSUF
The advisory hoard for intercollegiate
athletics makes suggestions regarding
policies and budget concerning that area
and also has student input
Over the years, she has worked in the
reference department processing department and others As assistant
librarian she was supervisor of all
departments
Now she is the boss
Tm the captain of the ship * she
said, laughing off the notion that she is
the 'heart of the heart of the campus '
As part of her duties as university
librarian. Mrs Parker, along wrth the
library's entire staff, will continue to
'persue patron satisfaction '
Mrs Parker said the library doesn t
receive many complaints from "patrons'
library lingo for anyone who comes in
contact with the library
"But iust because we don t have a lot
of complaints doesn t mean everybody is
getting everything they want ' she said
stressing that user-satisfaction is one of
the library' s main concerns
Come June 1980, Mrs Parker will be
the boss of almost twice as much space
as she has now when a $5 2 million addition to the library is completed
'(The new section will add) a considerable amount of space,'Mrs Parker
said,' and will be attractive and convin
lent to our students '
Eventually when the addition is in full
swing and the older section is remodeled, the entire library complex will be
and 'extremely well-functioning physical plant.' she said
Mrs   Parker was bom in Santa Ana
and attended grammar and high schools
in the Orange County community
Her husband is retired and the
couple have no children

CSUF students
have no
voting status
The students at CSUF have no voting
representation in the Academic Senate,
but David Ditora, Associated Student
president, is working to remedy the
situation
Ideally, students have input into the
academic policy-making organization,
according to Ditora 'But we need a
vote.' he remarked
'One thing we' ve been worlung an is
personnel decisions.' he said Faculty
promotions is an area of Academic
Senate affairs in which students have
little to say, according to Ditora
The Academic Senate consists of
committees that formulate and adopt
policies such as the recently approved
cheating and piagartsm policy which
establishes a grade oi F and the poss-
BsBsty of expulsion as the penalty for the
offense
The faculty claims students have
not fulfilled their committee obligations,
therefore should not be granted Academic Senate voting rights
But Ditora said such reasoning is
irreveiant and the voting nght should be
established regariess of past student
performance in the Senate
However, the A S president does
believe student advice is considered in
the Academic Senate 'But I think most
of the faculty are pretty reasonable.'
he said
