Fellowship: Funding to provide minority support
Continued from page 1
Ross said universities who want
to receive the fellowships must
suomit an application to the U.S.
Department of Education.
Applications are judged on a
joint system, based on criteria
including how well the school's
proposal addresses its need
for the fellowship, the
university's commitment to
graduate education, its support
system and its commitment
to help minority students in gen¬
eral
Robs said CSUF's proposal
included detailed information
about the University and its facili¬
ties, articles about Fresno from
magazines and newspapers and
"life stories" from students who
need the fellowship. He said
Fresno's recent census and eco¬
nomic demographic information
were used todemonstrate Fresno's
need for minority support in
higher education.
The Department of Education
awarded Fresno a perfect score of
lOOpoints.along
with Clemson
University. Last
year Harvard
and Syracuse
Universities re¬
ceived the high-
It's rare that
a proposal meets all the require¬
ments," Ross said. "Usually (the
Department of Education) says
'nobody's perfecf."
Ross said the fellowship is very
prestigious and difficult to receive.
He said it has helped CSUFs na¬
tional visibility as a top-notch in¬
stitution of higher learning.
"We're trying to put Fresno on
the map," Ross said. "A lot
of   people on the East Coast have
never even heard of   Fresno."

may not have considered attend¬
ing graduate school
In addition to this year's 10
students who have received the
fellowship, six other graduate
students have received funding
through the MAGIC program.
"What's important is that there
is no other source of funds like it,"
Ross said.
He said the students are work¬
ing hard to achieve their goals.
"They're really inspirational,"
Ross said.
Phyllis Braxton, an African
American graduate student spe¬
cializing in marriage and family
counseling, is a second-year re¬
cipient of a $10,000 fellowship.
"It helped me be able to go full
time," Braxton said. The program
is really supportive and willing to
help."
Braxton said this is the only
financial aid she has ever received
for graduate school.
The fellowship opens a lot of
doors for a lot of people," Braxton
said.

Lecture: Teamwork key to Ford's success
Continued from 1
To produce efficiency in pro¬
duction, the length of the produc¬
tion process and the rate of a car's
turnover should be researched,
Huston said.
The Mustang and Probe has a
turnover rate of four to five years,
while larger (traditional) cars will
turnover every six to eight years,"
he said.
Injapan, theaveragecar's turn¬
over is four years.
"Products have to be turned
faster," Huston said.
Huston said to compete with
foreign markets, the bottom-line
or cost should be kept to a mini¬
mum.
One way to lower costs is to
consider the question, "How many
engineers does it take to build a
product?"
Teamwork is also a vital com¬
ponent in meeting challenges and
competition.
"Ford    em
ploys 300,000
people," Huston
said.
"Communi¬
cation is impor¬
tant."
To promote
communication
among their employees, Ford co-
locates all 95 Taurus and Sable

In addition to discussing the
competition among the auto in¬
dustry, Huston also said the com¬
petition has increased forstudents

chanical engi¬
neering field.
though the kids
are more pre¬
pared coming
into the univer¬
sities, the level
of competition
has increased
phenomenally."
While in college, however, en¬
gineering students should leam
oral and written communication
skills as well as math and science
skills.
Huston said such skills are
needed to communicate effectively
as a business person.
Also, when searching for a job,
engineering graduates should find
a company that offers a two-year
training program.
"You may think you know what
you want, but you'll change," Hus¬
ton told the engineering students.
By participating in a job train¬
ing program, engineers may dis¬
cover they have different interests
in the field.

Fees: Labs

in spring

mjttee meeting. Helen Gigliotti,
associate vice president for aca¬
demic affairs, budget and instruc¬
tional resources, discussed the for¬
mation of an ad hoc committee to
review the proposal and conse¬
quences.
Many classes already pay ad¬
ditional lab fees. Some art and in¬
dustrial technology classes payad-
ditional fees for use of the comput¬
ers.
I f passed by the Academic Sen¬
ate and approved by President
John Welty, the fee would go into
effect in spring 1992.
According to Gigliotti, the cost
to run the computer labs was about
$100,000 last year. Paper and ma¬
terials are supplied to the com¬
puter labs throughout campus.
So far, there has been no cost to
the students for the paper and
materials needed to operate the
computer lab.
Student reactions vary to the
proposal.
Marya Santillian, freshman
psychology major, said the money
should comefrom somewhere else.
"On top of increased tuition
and decrease of classes, this is just
another blow. The students are
being cheated."
Other students felt thecost was
too high.
"1 think it's too much," said
junior Stacey Abersold, majoring
in exercise physiology. "If I have
to pay, I'd like to see more com¬
puters or pay $5. That's more rea¬
sonable."
