'Casino Night' controversy continues
The controversy surrounding "Casino
Night" on the opening evening of Vintage
Days may yet continue another year unless
an agreement can be reached again wilh

d in the Daily Col-
Icgian  last  year  ab

This year the confusionover the legality
of "Casino Night" format continues. In a
March 14 telephone interview. Assistant
District Attorney John Kiraly, said CSUF
"cannot have a Casino Night — period.
"That's what we told them (CSUF) last
year and that's what III tell them again
this year. If I'm asked and they make the
same provisions for Casino Night as they
did last year, then 111 tell them that it's
illegal," Kiraly said.
However after meeting wilh Sharon
Smith, thc Vintage Days coordinator,
and speaking with CSUF police chief-Bill
Anderson, a Daily Collegian reporter was
told thai an agreement with the' district
attorney's office had been reached last
year and thc legal issues resolved.
John Kiraly was recontacted by telephone at the district attorney's office and
clarified the discrepancies about thc legalities of "Casino Night."
"I didn't remember that something apparently was decided about this last year.
Apparently there were certain agreements
reached last year that I Ye forgotten about.
So I asked them to come back in and
outline some things so there'll be no question about," said Kiraly.
Mike O'Reilly, an investigator.with the
CSUF police department, and Smith will
meet again this year with Kiraly to determine if the use of "play money"duringthe
games at "Casino Night"constitutcs "gam-
ling"as defined in Section 330 of the California Penal Code.
"Prior to last year, as far as I understand it, what we did do could be termed
technically as 'gambling.' Because what
had done was, in essence, assign a
year so that it would be in conformance
with the law," said Smith.
"We're still having the 'Casino Night'
and still be offering the same games. And
people w-jll just be playing for the thrill of
winning the play monjy. But we wojTl
have the auction using the play money."
Smith djd say that door prizes would be
given away during the course of the evening, but that no purchase was necessary to
qualify for winning them. Purchasing an
entrance ticket is just one of the two ways
to win a door prize.
"Alio an individual who comes up and
simply requests to be included in the drawing can be included in the drawings. So
there's no admission required to be included in the drawings which are held
throughout thc evening." said Smith.
She said the items planned to be given
out as door prizes are in the process of
being donated by various community busi-
"Casino Night" is planned to be held
April 26 in the Residence Dining Hall on
the opening night on Vintage Days. Some
of Ihe games that will be played, according
to Smith, are "blackjack roulette, horse-
racing, I guess those arc the big ones."

The concept behind "Casino Night"
involves the use of play money that is
wagered during the casino-style games. In
years past, the money was "spent" at an
auction after the games were finished. In

According to Francois and Executive
Vice President William Holmes, CSUF
has not always pursued donations from
the private sector as actively as is current
policy. However, a statewide policy against
the use of state monies for development
and recent stale budgetary difficulties
have contributed to a change of attitude
among university administrations.

needs the private donations in order to
balance the budget and pay thc light bills,"
