If someone receives a bomb threat,
CSUF poHcy dictates that they remain

Debbie Adishian-Astone, an assistant
planner from campus facilities planning
and a member of the Peace Garden Committee, said the plan must pass through
several committees before actual work on
the area can begin.
Once the Peace Garden Committee has
agreed on a plan, Sheehan will make the
architectural drawings and submit them
to an off-campus consulting landscape
architect contracted through the school.
Once the plan has been approved there, it
is then submitted to the Monumental Art
subcommittee and the Arboretum subcommittee. If the plan is approved by
bom subcommittees, it then goes to the
Campus Planning Committee for final
approval.
Shannon McMulIen, a senior majoring
in speech communications and member
of the Peace Garden Committee, said the
process of submitting the plans to the
committees will probably begin early in
fall 1992. She stressed that the committee
is still encouraging ideas from students.
"Right now we are trying to cope with
a physical concept and a philosophical
concept," she said. "We need to get as
much input as possible and then we'll get
down to the nitty-gritty of fund raising."
McMulIen said that a cost estimate for
the project will be done once the drawing
is approved by the consulting landscape
architect She said thecommittee hopes to
start fundraisers to collect money from
the community for the project by October.
