Regulation changes, from page one
training regulation but greatly restrict it.    tions, international students are allowed
Mitchell said the new regulation fa the    to work up to 20 hours per week when
school fa in session; and full-time during
lNS*s three-year pilot off-campus program, sponsored by Mcr>>r_ld's (Hamburger) Corporation because many fast-
food outlets need more workers to fill job
vacancies.

t he posi tion for 60 days and haven't been
vacation
Mitchell said under the new regulations, there are so far three international
students who got off-campus jobs.
John Fu,anISSPcounsek)r,said if the first
four genera tions of interna tional students
in America managed to get off-campus
jobs and even career opportunities, every
international student can do the same.
Fu said when he was in Illinois he used
to go to downtown New York during the
summer to look for jobs.
"So what does it mean to international students? It
able to find a suitable American worker,   means that the job must be a very undesireable one.

"Who wants to advertise 60 days for
the students?"
"An example would be a Chinese restaurant who wantsaChinesepianist who
can speak English, Mandarin or
Cantonese and play American and Chinese songs," Mitchell said.
According to INS off-campus regula-

full year of work opportunity after their
completion of studies.
"International students wi th questions
about employment should see an 1SSP
counselor to make sure the)' won't work
illegally while dealing with the changes
in regulations," Mitchell said.

"I could usually earned a semester's
tuition fee plus living expenses, induding room and board," Fu said.
Fu, who met his wife while they were
both washing dishes in a restaurant, said
it was difficult for international students
to get jobs in the past and with the new
regulations it is even more difficult.
He said when the INS passed the three-
yearpilotoff-campus program sponsored
by the McDonald's it never thought there
would be a problem for the international
students.
The problem that occurred was, most
international students don't want to work
to the fast food outlets; they don't want to
work in the McDonald's," Fu said.
Fu said off-campus working regulations in America have changed over time
but whatdoesn'tchangefatoe difficulties
for international students to get good
jobs.
International students will overcome
many financial and academic problems
they face studying in America, said Fu, if
they are willing to work hard and be
persistent.
Fu handed a three-sheet tear-out reference, "Guidelines to New F-l Regulations" to the 36 international students
seated in circle surrounding him and
clarified many doubts and questions the
students had about the new regulations.
Fu ended his lecture by asking every
student to read aloud from a handout of
prose writings: "Whatever your mind
can conceive and believe, it will achieve.
... Dream great dreams and make them
come true.... If at first you don't succeed,
try another way. ... For every obstacle,
there fa a solution. ... Success is an attitude. Get yours right."
Gonzales, from page one
became an associate professor of psychology, and by 1987 he was chairman
of the department of psychology.
"I feel pretty good on this position,
and now I'm able to do things in the
long term to prepare us for the near
future.
"Lots of changes will take place because the budget situation is going to
force us to make them.
"I think if we pull and work together
as a group, the university will be in
better shape," Gonzales said.
Hisauro Garza, a colleague of
Gonzales in the Chicano-Latino Studies program said/'Gonzalesisan excellent candidate. He has a lot of experi
ence both in the academic areas in his
field of psychology and also in administrative work. Alex is a sensible person
with the issues of the community and
the university.
"He has a good orientation and philosophy on his mission of higher education," Garza said. "He is a real asset for
this University and we are lucky to
have him as a vice president. 1 look
forward to seeing him in this position
for a long time."
Chicano-Latino Studies Professor
Ernesto Martinez said, "Alex came to
our La Raza program and exhibited
leadership qualities.
"Weare happy with his performance.
He continues polishing those qualities
that in the long-run pay off."
According to Martinez, Gonzales is
one of the most capable Chicane* in the
university and it is long overdue that
the university has a Chicano as vice
president.
"It is a very wise decision on Welr/s
behalf and an important bridge between
the university and the Chicano community. Welty picked the most capable person for that position and that was Alex,
and he fa a Chicano." Martinez said.
Gonzalesfavors the proposed 40 percent fee increase.
"If you look at what students are
paying relative to every body else across
the country, we are getting less in tuition, he said.
"I know it is going to hurt some
students, but we also would be using
that money for financial aid for those
students who need it."
Gonzales said $1,1000 per year for a
college education at CSU is "phenomenal" dollar-per-dollar, compared with
what the rest of the country is paying.
If the fee increase doesn't go through,
it will cause trouble. There will be cuts
in classes and staff.
"I do see tough times ahead. There is
no denying the budget situation has us
between a rock and a hard place,"
Gonzales said.
Vending Machines,
from page one
"We have to be careful in dealings in contract in
the way of service, because for significant parts of
the year i fs not profitable for us to operate, although
we do it as a service," Graham said.
"Businesses coming in that are only concerned
with profit might like to drop some of those services,
but we made sure that wasn't the case in this contract," Graham said.
Canteen Sales and Service Representative
Georgette Wallace said CSUF is their largest account in terms of the number of possible customers.
She said Canteen will track the sales of each
machine to find out which ones are making money
and which items sell the most.
One of the first changes will be to add machines
that will sell soda ina cup with ice, since they do well
at their other customer locations.
"We'll trackall machine sales, and whatever sells
we'll keep," Wallace said.
She said pricing wouldn't be changed without
discussing it with Food Services, but that CSUF has
lower prices than industry standards.
Prince said Canteen can make more money on
vending because they don'(spend as much on labor.
"We had to pay so much with our full-time
employees and their benefits that we couldn't make
more money," Prince said.
Two food services employees worked on vending for $7.20 and hour plus benefits in comparison
with the $5 an hour, limited benefits and commission Canteen pays for one person.
Both food services employees were laid off.
"Our employees weren't doing as good as someone that works on commission will," Prince said.
Prince said Wallace contacted him two months
ago about the possibility of taking over the vending
service.
But in the past the food services had always
denied such requests because they were making
money on vending.
"This time it looked real good for us to use their
service, especially from a financial aspect," Prince
said.
Prince said he isalso impressed by thededica tion
Canteen owner Butch Wilson has to making the
service work.
"He hasbeen out hereevery day in jeansa regular
shirt, so he doesn't seem like an executive, and he's
been asking people how to improve the service,"
Prince said.
