Haak to leave leader
position for teaching
CSUF President of 10 years receives
standing ovation upon announcement
ByToddHeth
STAFF WRITER
After 10 years as CSUF president,
Harold Haak announced his decision
to step down last Wednesday at the
first Academic Senate meeting of the
1990-91 school year.
At the conclusion of Haak's address
the audience gave Haak a standing
ovation.
Although his decision to step down
at the conclusion of this academic year
was met with some suprise, the possi¬
bility of losing this CSUF leader was
speculated earlier this year in a Fresno
Bee article that listed Haak as being
somewhat frustrated with hisposition.
Haak said he finally decided to sub¬
mit his resignation while he was on
vacation in McFarland, Wisconsin. On
August 16, he sent the letter of resigna¬
tion to Acting Chancellor Ellis McCune.
"I recognize, that my career has de¬
veloped somewhat out of step with
usual expectations," Haak said. "Per¬
haps if I had begun at a later age I
would be staying on as president until
retirement. But as it is, retirement for
me is a long way, off and there is still
much that ("want to do."
Students will receive bill
to offset CSU budget cuts

Severe cutbacks in the CSU system budget have resulted in
a fee hike for CSUF students.
Students who registered for 12 units or more during early
registration will receive an $18 bill shortly after the Sept. 24
census date, said accounting officer Bob Vega. They will have
between!5and30days to send the money. Walk-through, late
registrants and financial aid recipients paid fees with the
. increase Hgured-in and will not be billed.
In the 1989-90 academic year, s tuden ts paid $453 to register
for 12 units or more. These 89-90 fees included the student
health fee. This fall, students will pay $471 dollars to register
for the same number of unitsas a result of an $18 increasein the
system-controlled State University fee.
Vega said if students an? delinquent in their response, they
may receive a $10 fine and refusal to pay may result in being
dropped to part time status.
The trustees originally proposed a 30 percent to 40 percent
increasein the state university fee butaccording to ASI Legis¬
lative Vk* President Stacey Green the Callfomia_Statewide
Student Associa Hon refused to support it.
The students always have to pay when there is a budget

Due to Gov. Deukmejian's statewide budget cuts, univer¬
sity trustees were forced to approve a $71.2 million reduction
in the CSU budget, leaving campuses scrambling for ways to
make up for that loss.
In addition, a further 3 percent cut in the budget may be
approved in the coming months.   See BUDGET, Page 3

Haak shared, at a press conference
following the senate meeting, some of
the things he will do after July 15.
After a year of sabbatical, he will
assume a position as a trustees profes¬
sor for the California State University
system. Although in that position he
has the freedom to move around the
CSU system, he has indicated a desire
to stay near home and plans to teach
here at CSUF.
Haak has degrees that enable him to
teach political defence or business
administration. His plans include the
possibility of teaching both-
"As a president, I prize teaching and
I hope students would view it as a
healthy thing for me to teach," Haak
said.
During his year sabbatical Haak said
he will relax, do some traveling and
continue work on a book he is writing.
"If s difficult to write and be presi¬
dent," he said. "I take everything home
with me. I sit at home and anything I
read or hear about CSUF I always de¬
fend."
Haak said he wouldn't be specific
about why he stepped down because
he doesn't feel responsible since he's

If the agenda of ASI President Don
Daves goes as planned, the 1990-91 .
academic year will be more successful
and less turbulent than last year.
Daves hopes the bitter battling be¬
tween the Unity-Students for Respon¬
sible Government and United Stu¬
dents/Reality parties mat went on last
year will be kept to a minimum in order
to get on with business.
That business includes several issues
Daves sees as important to the whole
student body.
.'One hot item will definitely be the
fee increase for students," he said.
Daves said the primary point in his
