toward the environment.

big celebration."

Senate seats
still vacant
•Lack of students leaves void
Bv Eric Burney
Collegian Staff Writer
Hindered by the continued
abscence of its three student
representatives, the CSUF Stu¬
dent Affairs Committee, a
standing committee of Associ¬
ated Students, Inc., has been
unable to take action on issues
coming before it.
Dr. Cora Adams, associate
professor of social work and
the com mi tree's chairperson, is
concerned not only for the
committee, but for the students
the committee is supposed to
represent.
"The three students named
to the committee aren't attend¬
ing the meetings," she said. "As
faculty, we are concerned that
they are not involved. The is¬
sues that come before the com¬
mittee directly affect the stu¬
dents, so ifs important that the
stjdent representatives are
involved in the process."
Student represen fives to ASI
committees are appointed by
the ASI. Potential representa¬
tives need only be currently
registered CSUF students with
interest in serving ona commit¬
tee.
Adams said she met with ASI
President Don Daves and ASI
faculty adviser Dr. James
Aldrich two weeks ago to dis¬
cuss the matter.
Daves said excessive absen-

Resolution blasts choice
By Debbie Richards
Collegian Staff Writer
•Academic Senate says selection was
based on'discriminatory practices'
The Academic Senate actively
debated a resolution Monday that
deplores the actions of the presi¬
dential search committee.
The resolution challenges and
takes an official stand on the "dis¬
criminatory practices in the presi¬
dential selection process." It was
presented to the Academic Senate
Monday two weeks after its initial
presentation by Chicano Latino
Studies Professor Hisauro Carza
at the last senate meeting.
The resolution condemns the
actions of the CSU board of trus¬
tees, who initially failed toappoint
a Hispanic committee member to
the presidential search committee.
Hispanic faculty members had
long argued that the exclusion of
Hispanics from the selection com¬
mittee was misrepresenting the

ASI fee initiative to be on ballot
By Michelle Lecours
Collegian Staff Writer
A referendum to reduce Associ¬
ated Students Inc. fees from SI 6 to
S8 per semester has garnered
enough signatures for placement
on the ballot in the upcoming stu¬
dent elections, according to Wil¬
liam Corcoran, CSUF dean of stu¬
dent affairs.
Steve Seewald, president of
Young Americans for Freedom,
whose organization sponsored the
petition drive and collected the
signatures, is optimistic about the
measure. Thc proposal needed a
minimum of 1,965 signatures to be
placed on the ballot.
"I'm kind of excited. I think that
ifs a good initiative," says See¬
wald.
Hebelievesanunstablecampus
political climate helped to fuel the
petition drive.
"The proliferation of political
groups on campus shows that the
political environment will not be
stable for a couple years to come.
This is a good time for students to
reduce that fee," Seewald said
ASI President Don Daves re¬
acted differently to the referen¬
dum,questioning the integrity and
completeness of its content.
