campus finances affected
By Krista Lemos
DC News editor
Less money to spend, more
programs to fund and more
students to educate.
Budget crisis — that's what
it's called in California these
days.
The economically depressed
state passed its woesonto CSUF,
squeezing $9 million from the
yearly budget. And the effects
are widespread.
President John D. Welty said
the university is entering the
year with a balanced budget of
S119.8 million, absorbing a 52
percent budget reduction over
last year.
He said cuts were made by
tightening campus spending
with reductions in hinds for
equipment purchases, travel,
computer support, media
services and student assistants.
About 386 more course sections
•wre closed compared with last
fall and library hours will be
reduced.
Inaddition, journal and book
purchases will be reduced and a
two-year general catalog will be
incorporated.

to roll back fees
By Michelle Martin
DC Staff writer

way through the state
legislature passes, CSUF
students could see last
semester's fee increase rolled
back from 20 percent to 10
percent.
The fee decrease would
amountto$78per CSU student.
UC students would also receive
a fee rollback, and K-l 2 school
districts would receive money.
Community college students.
whose fees were raised S10 this
semester, would not be affected
by the bill.
The bill, SB 976, has been
proposed by Lt. Gov. Leo
McCarthy and state Senator
Gary Hart (D-Santa Barbara). SB
976 was heard in the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee
Wednesday and is being heard
in the subcommittee on higher
education today.
The money to fund the fee
rollback would come from $180
million recently received by the
State Lands Commission in the
settlement of an anti-trust suit.
The suit was brought against
four major oil companies.
California State Student
Association Legislative
Director Jeff Chang praised
McCarthy and Hart for "trying
to move the state back to
prioritizing education.
"They're really taking a
courageous stand," he said.
Chang said the amount of
money allocated for education
in the state budget has declined
