Salvador Nuno is one of the 33
groundspersons at CSUF who keep
this 'city within a city' mowed and
trimmed.
This is Nuno's sixth year as a
gardener at CSUF. He is In charge of
the grounds from the San Ramon
buildings to the back of the cafeteria
and from the parking lot to the bike
route,   approximately   eight   acres.
"We are assigned to certain areas,'
Nuno said.
Nuno's Job consists of general
dean-up, looking for broken sprinklers, helping tree pruners setting up
pumps in flooded areas and re-
finishlng the blacktop*. Nuno's day
begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m.
The campus is broken up into an
eastern and a western section Combined, they consist of 250 acres of
landscape area.
There Is one supervisor, George
Frcklnworth, In charge of the total
acreage. Under him are three men;
one takes care of the eastern half,
another the western and the third is In
charge of the equipment.
"And I alto have one garden specialist who takes care of the presl-
"s      residence,"      Fkklnworth
Besides the 33 grourtdspeopie and
the garden specialist, there is also a
tree trimmer, two laborers, 1 skilled
laborer, and a street sweeper.
The street sweeper works from
11 p.m. to 7 a.m. His job Is to sweep
the campus, Including the parking
lots. *
This is just like a city within
a city,' Ficklnworth said about the
campus.
The campus has not only Its own
water system, but also Its own dump.
From October to December, leaves
are saved and mulched in the dump
site. This saves on buying humus.
Tree planting must first go through
the arboretum committee for approval. Landscape plans are drawn
up by an architect before being carried out.
Schedules are set up for the
groundspeople so that they can work
around classes. But the grounds-
people never know if a class is in
progress unless a professor complains.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, the .
eastern half of the campus is mowed.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays,
the western half and on Fridays there
is a general dean-up of the campus to
make It presentable for the weekend.

Trustees barely pass pay schedule
By Matt Speninf
A controversial salary schedule affecting approximately 18,000 professors
was approved by the CSUC Board of
Trustees despite strong opposition from
several faculty groups.
The trustee-, voted 9-7 in favor of the
proposal Jan. 29, rejecting a request by
board members Michael Peevey and
Ms. Wallace Albertson that the plan
receive further study.
The plan and the $1.6 million needed
to implement it must be approved by
the California Legislature before it can
go into effect.
Two faculty groups, the United Professors of California (UPC) and the
Congress of Faculty Associations, filed
unfair labor practice charges with the
Public EirrpJoyees Relations Board
shortly after the board vote. Both
groups, along with the statewide Academic  Senate,   plan   to  oppose  the
schedule in the legislature.
The CSUC salary schedule currently
provides five pay levels within each of
the assistant, associate and full professor ranks, with a five percent pay increase for each level of advancement
Under the. new plan, however, a
two and one-half percent pay increase
would be added to the top of each rank.
This would allow assistant and associate professors to be paid salaries that
overlap the bottom pay levels of the next
academic rank.
A senior associate professor could,
for example, earn more money than a
full  professor at the bottom  of  his
The pay raises would be awarded on
the basis of merit. In addition, the plan
expands the current »16,392-to-$34,476
salary range to a ceiling of $39,732.
Chancellor Clenn S. Dumke and CSUF
President Harold H. Haak supported the
proposal, as did the presidents of the
other 18 campuses, in the CSUC system.
Both Dumke and Haak said the new
plan was heeded because of *a crisis*
in hiring in certain fields of study,
particularly engineering and'business
Haak said that awarding increases
on the merit basis was also necessary
because a large percentage of professors currently earn the maximum
S34.476 salary and have no further
pay incentive.
^^^^^^^^^^ be a very useful
thing to those who do an outstanding
Job,'he said.
Gene Burton, dean of business and
administrative services, said that competition for faculty in the area of business has resulted in the hiring of teachers at the associate or full professor
level In order to offer a higher salary.
Normally, teachers are hired at the assistant professor level.
Burton said the new schedule will
allow a facwltyrrannber to be hired as
an assistant professor but at a higher
pay level.
'Salary overlapping allows us to bring
in people in high demand at competitive salaries,* he said.

Family violence is 'nothing new'
By Lisa Nordyke
The increasing Incidence of crime in
this country over the past decade has
made the issue one of national concern.
Two CSUF professors of criminology reflect on what they believe to be the
reasons behind this increase and what is
being done to stop crime in their fields of
specialty, family violence and juvenile
delinquency.	
It is obvious that the family of Dr.
Otto Tocchio is very important to him.
Surrounding his desk are various photos
of Tocchio's family. An eight by 11
picture of his wife keeps a watchful eye
on Tocchio as he speaks.
-Wife beating and child abuse have
been with us since time Immortal,'
Tocchio, a member of the Fresno Council
for Child Abuse Prevention., 'it's nothing new.* .
Today, however, more people are
aware of family violence because of
•better reporting,'Tocchio said.
Despite the increased awareness, this
violence will continue to exist until
society can find a way to reverse the
trauma that abused children have suffered, hesakJ. t    t  t
-The child who has seen his father
beating his mother may grow up to beat
on his wife thinking that 'my father dki
this, then this is probably what I should
be doing,'-Tocchio said.
-Or the child who has grown up being
molested by her father feels that, 'my
father said that this is part of my (sex)
education, to prevent me from getting
V.D.'
•So they believe this and they grow up
believing that this incest is fine.'
In order to stop this abuse, Tocchio
said that, 'the perpetual chain must be       'Women were considered less than    the role of women could be another

"There are indicators often as to whether
this mother will look upon this child as
one that she will love or one that she will
beat or abuse. Preventive methods
should be introduced Immediately Into
that situation to bring about change.'
Tocchio said that although inflation,
alcohol and drugs may be contributing
factors to family violence, they are not
the causes, only the'triggers.*
*A lot of us that have normal families
and children are also feeling financial
stresses/ he said. 'We're not going
around beating on each other.'
'It all goes back to what kind of a
childhood did that girl or boy have who is
now a man or a woman.'
Tocchio said that when people began
to take an active interest in battered
children (during the early sixties,)
concern was aimed primarily at the
physical aspect of abuse suffered.
'We should have put a great deal
said. 'I think we should have looked
everything, but we didn't. Weputmost
of our emphasis on the physically abused
