Computers are on
the rise at CSUF
As industries across the United States
increase their dependency on computer
systems, the American society is quickly
becoming divided between those who do
understand how to program, operate and
monitor computers, and those who
don't.
For those who do possess skills in
computer programming, the Job market
is both large and lucrative. Entry level
salaries for undergraduates with a degree in math, business, engineering or
industrial technology with an emphasis
In computer science average $25,000 a
year, said Dr. Kelly Black, chairman of
the department of information systems
and decision sciences in the School of
Business.
Black said forecasters predict there
will be no lessening on the demand for
computer scientists until the end of the
'The demand is so great for computer
science  majors,'  Black said,   'that  I
have seen companies start recruiting
juniors in college, promising to pay for
the senior year arid offering a very good
starting salary.'
As the market demand increases for
computer programmers, the number of

„     _ Mar-Taagua/Daily Collegian   sder_e has also escafcted, Black said.
Kim Ford, a fifth-year accounting major, waits for an opening at a computer       Black said the number of students pursuing studies in computer science has
doubled in "the School of Business within
the last two years.
"Computer-related classes were once
offered on a rotating schedule,* Black
said 'with some classes being offered one semester and others being offered the next. Now we offer all classes
every semester apd they are full, with
standing room only. *
Black said the number of computer
terminals at CSUF has quadrupled In
the last two years, with more terminals
available to students this semester than
any previous semester.
EvenVith the increase in terminals
provided on campus, a signnip sheet
system was sUrted so students could
secure usage on a terminal for one
hour a day to prevent overcrowding^ of
terminal areas.
Stuo-nts are encouraged to sign-up
for a terminal one week in advance, a
lab assistant at one terminal station
said. Even with the sign-up procedure,
long lines still form outside the terminals 'usually right before an assignment is due," the lab assistant said.
Peak hours at the 13 terminal stations on campus are from 8 a.m. to 12
noon and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. All terminals
are open daily during business hours.
The terminal in the Keats Campus
Building is available from 7:30 a.m. to
midnight, and the terminal in the Busi-

Relationships
Continued from page 1
'You're never really commited to
someone unless you're married,' she
said. "You really have to work at it. If
you 're just living together, you can leave
them any time.'
Janet believes two people have to
work at any relationship to make it work.
"You always have to be able to communicate what you're feeling," she
said, 'and you both have, to know how to
compromise.
"In one of my classes, we were talking
about how love isn't the most important
thing," she said.   'What's most impor-
f-l__._l_S._f-v.
tant is if the relationship works. If it
works then love will follow.*
For David, a 20-year-old journalism
major, a relationship is a matter of
"taking things one step at a time. *
In addition to his classes, David also
works at two jobs. As busy as his
schedule is, "you make time" to be with
someone special, he said. "Even if it's
between 10 and midnight, you make the
allege and getting
my work done, but I also have another
'priority' that is just as important or
even more so,* David said. .
When a person is involved with some
one who Is constantly busy, patience
plays an important role in keeping things
in balance. Other things, of course, are
just as vital.
'Oneofther	
a relationship would be compatibility,"
Davjd said, "and, of course, love helps,
David admitted that "there is pressure
to get married but, in my case, I want to
graduate and get out on my own. Even
though I have two jobs I can't even support myself, let alone two people."
David's girlfriend is "anxious but also
patient enough to wait for me to finish
my education; and I admire that.'
Gloria O'Brien said that the college
atmosphere allows "more opportunity to
meet people of the same age and similar
Interests."
Along with these advantages, however, also come some disadvantages.
"There are the "
Gau.hl_7Dally Collegian
of school like finals and papers and then
joggling that with a social life,*0'Brien
said. 'Everyone is working under* the
same conditions.
For a lot of students, the problem is
not learning how to maintain a relationship, but finding the right person to
"There's a common problem of
finding someone to love and where do
you meet them,'O'Brien said. 'A lot of
re-entry people have trouble finding
people their own age.'
As far as the entire community is
concerned, 'Fresno's a difficult place
for singles,' she said. 'I'm not sure
why, but there's just not a lot of activities or appropriate places (for singles
to meet) other than church groups and
