MUSE provides job opportunities
By Ted Hallisey
Contributing Writer
Undergraduale minority students who arc looking into
the possibilities of a summer job now have another
option available to them.
The Minority Undergraduate Summer Enrichment
(MUSE) Program has fifty openings that are available tc
eligible CSUF students. The nine-week program will
begin on May 30 and continue until July 27.
To be eligible for the MUSE program applicants must
be undergraduate students that have net begun graduate
courses at the time they apply. The siudent must have
completed 30 units of undergraduate study, while main¬
taining a 3.0 grade poinl average. Two letters of recom¬
mendation from faculty members arc also a requirement.
The student musl demc.tstraic financial need and rep¬
resent any academic discipline in whi:h a professor is
planning io do summer research  Students selected for
the program must belong to a typically underrepresentcd
group.
Included in this group would be students who are
Black, Hispanic, American Indian, Southeast Asian.
Filipino, and women in certain areas of study, according
to Dr. David A Ross. Associate Dean, Division of
Graduate Studies and Research.
"Students selected for die MUSE program will be paid
SI.162 for the nine week period". Ross said. "This
amount is calculated on the cost required to live in the
dorms dunng the summer session, and arc in addiuc1 to
fees required for enrollment in six units during summer
session."
Costs for any travel expenses would also be paid by
the MUSE grant, according to Ross. "Students will also
receive six units of undergraduate credit during the pro¬
gram, in the form of a Uand new 300 number class
being applied for this parucuiar program," Ross said.
The purpose ol the MUSE program i" <o enable tbr
student io assist 3 member of the faculty- engaged in
research projects. Additionally it allows the student to be
introduced to ihe nature of graduate studies and what to
anticipate in the graduate program, while assisting a
member of the faculty that is actively involved in a
research project, according to Ross. "Probably more
students need this kind of assistance than the state
actually helps QUI,' Ross said.
CSUF was one of 40 universities in the nation thai
was awarded funds for this program. The total amount
allotted for the program at CSUF was $ 108,000, accord¬
ing to Ross. The competition for the MUSE granl was
very  tough.
"We hope to do well with the fifty we have this year
in order to get increased funds next year," Ross said.
Applications are currently available at the Division of
Graduate Studies and Research located in the Thomas
Administruon building, room 132. The deadline for
submitting applications is March 31,

"They were very nice about it all." said
McFeeters, 28. "1 took my parking
sucker in and politely asked for a refund.''
He did not get his money back, but was
really not expecting to. He said he did it
mostly "as a lark, a tongue-in-cheek
[gesture] motivated out of desperation.'
Forden said he does not think there is a
major problem wiih fewer spaces. What
he sees may be creating the bigger prob¬
lem is the difficulty in getting to the
parking lots now that two of the roads
leading to litem have been blocked off.
San Ramon Avenue, which used to run
ihrough campus to parking lot J, now
stops at the Satellite Student Union.
Also, the portion of Barstow Avenue

"People just get frustrated when they
need to get parking," said Forden. "It
makes people very irritable when it's not
easy to find your way around."
Lieutenant Stephen King of the
campus police department agrees. "I think
the first day there was some problem.
Now, it's just a matter of confusion."
The students couldn't disagree more.
"If you don't gel here ai 8 a.m., you
have to play parking-kit hound, and wait
for someone to get out of class," said
physical education major. Merrily John¬
son. "You just have to keep driving
around. By the lime you run to class, it's
half over."
Johnson, 27, who lives in Hartford,
said this semester's parking situation in
the back lot is "definitely worse than last
semester'' She said that she has not
missed a class because she could not find
a space, "not yet." She added,   !t I didn t
have to commute, I'd ndc a bike.'"
"They are selling parking stickers even
though there might he no places to park.
To me that is an injustice," said
McFeeters. who blames ihe parking inad
equecies on poor admmistrauon. "It was
not properly planned The person is not
doing his job correctly."
He added that in the 10 years hes been
here, the pnee of a semester parking per¬
mit has skyrocketed, and in just two
semesters, the price of the daily suckers
has doubled.
"And what do we get foi it? Fewer
parking spaces"
