Graduate research funds available in spring
M@^sl      ■»*
Graduate students seeking funding
for research projects have traditionally
found nothing but closed doors,-according to Graduate Studies officials, but
that will be changing next semester with
Ihe institution of a new "accounting
procedure" designed to make research
money more available
According to the plan, devised this
semester and approved by David Clark,
vice president for academic affairs, at
least part of a $118 fee currently imposed on some graduate students will be
reserved for student research grams
Revenue from the fee, which is imposed
only on graduate students taking no
course units, will be distributed according to the merit of proposed research
projects.
"Were trying to recover some part of
the fee to help students." said Vivian
Vidoli. dean of the division of graduate
studies and research. "We're not talking
about an awful lot of money but it may
help out a student who needs a modest
The money generated by the "/ero-

Ihis semester - will be under the con-
ntee to be made up of
research proposals and decide which, if
any, deserve university funding.
"The projects will be competing for
this money," said Dave Ross, assistant
dean of graduate studies and research.
"We're interested in quality. If there
were no good proposals we wouldn't
expend the money."
Graduate students are required lo
produce a thesis or research project for
their degree. Such a project, according
to Ross, could be the study of rocks in
Honduras or reading of a paper in New
York or Chicago; Projects often cost a
great deal of money to complete, but
until now the'uhiversity has not attempted to help cover'student expenses.
"This is a source of money for students who have a meritorious claim to
some money," Ross said. "We would
like to do something for graduate students who have lo pay not a small
amount of expenses for their research
The division of graduate studies had
requested IRA (Instructional^ Related
Activities) funding for the last two years
but was denied. Other efforts to get
funding also failed, according to Ross.
Office, which will handle the new
accounting duties.
"In a sense there's nothing new."
Vidoli said. "The accounting of the fee is
just different. Now the money goes back
to the students, back to the programs."
The "zero-unit" fee is imposed only
on students who sign up for the course.
Graduate Continuance Enrollment.
These students are charged for their use
of university resources even though
they are taking no other classes. By
comparison, the post-baccalaureate fee
for students carrying from 0-5.9 units is
$241.
Even that $118 fee however, falls far
short pf covering university expenses,
according to Vidoli.
"There's no way that this fee could
compensate for all expenditures," he
said, "but this is a way to give them
bona fide enrollment in the university.r
According to Ross, university funding of worthy student projects will
benefit both the student and CSUF. The
production of high-quality student
work, Ross said, will greatly enhance
the university's reputation.
"It will brighten our jmage in the
community," he said. "There's a lot of
really fine quality work being done on
campus. We don't think the students,
the faculty or the community know just

Counseling center helps with all problems
Most of the students who use CSUF's
counseling center are not crazy; says
counselor Linda Gannaway.
The large majority of them are typical
university students who are experiencing
problems in their classes or in personal
relationships, she said.
However, many students who might
benefit from the individual or group
counseling offered at the center may not
come in because they are unsure of what
The center offers free, confidential
assistance for all students. Ten counselors are available for appointments
and walk-in first-timers. Dr. Steve Sena,
director of the center, said. The student
is under no obligation to return, although
most do.
Based upon the problem and the
individual, a decision is made at the
initial meeting whether group or private
counseling would be most helpful.
Gannaway said there are several dif-

The hardest part about using the
center's service, Gannaway said, is "just
coming in that first time."Commitment,
she said, is another problem students
have to face.
"You cant fix (a problem with)
depression, anxiety or a lack of confidence with just one meeting," she said.
"Most people find they need a follow-
up. Others just come to explore the
possibility of counseling."
"A lot of students think there is
