Ism* A
S.T.A.R. registration goes by almost smoothly
By Suzanne Kayian
StaffWriter
Students registering for the fall 1992
semester experienced a new registration
system at California State University,
Fresno.
Student Telephone Assisted Registra¬
tion (S.T.AJ*.) is a system where students
were able to register for classes using a
touch-tone telephone.
Tina Beddall. assistant registrar, said
"The program is definitely a success. "We've
pre-regislered over 17,00f>students with-
S.T.A.R That is more than we ever regis¬
tered with C. A J*, (computer assisted regi s-
tration)," Beddall said.
The new registration system decreased
the amount of paperwork, but increased the
amount of phone calls to the office, Beddall
said.
Most of the phone calls were of the
"how-to" variety, Beddall said. They had a
special help-line number to handle the
questions. *
Beddall said, "For the most part, stu¬
dents were pleased with the new system.
With C.A.R. a computer would schedule
class substitutions if a class was full or
cancelled.
"With S.T.AJ*. students were able to
make their own substitutions," she said.
One major concern with S.T.A.R. was
busy signals, Beddall said.
Help-line worker Marseilles Chavez
agreed, "Some people had a hard time with
the registration action codes and they were
concerned about busy signals.
"Other problems were from not using a
touch-tone phone." Chavez said.
Most students had success with S .T. A.R.
if they read the instruc Lions careful ly, C ha /ez
said.

Artist sells off works to repay student loan
-
By Shannon Wentworth
News Editor
Friends, family and supporters turned
out to see Tally Duke Floyd's art exhibited
at Tower District hangout the Java Cafe in
an effort to help him pay off his student
loan.
Floyd, 28, received a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Art from CSUF two years ago
and owes $17,000 for the education.
The hardest thing about exhibiting his
work was letting them go.
"I was reluctant to put them up for sale.
The y are like my kids," he said. "I am happy
to show my work, but it was difficult to
attach a price tag to them.
"Thepaint and canvas I know the cost of,
but how much am I worth?" .
Floyd who has been painting since 1985
said the exhibit was good because he needed
to move on.
"It was time to clean house and move in
a new direction and if I can fetch money for
these, heck, whatever pays off my student
loan," he said.
If last night's sale of art is any indication
of what is to come, the loan is well on its
way to being paid. Floyd sold six pieces,
ranging in price from $400 to $600.
Glen Flood, a 33 year-old hairdresser
and painter, purchased Floyd's "Greek Red
Vase" for $450. Flood was attracted to
Floyd's unique style that is sometimes sur¬
real and sometimes impressionistic.
Mario Serenil, a 35 year-old cosmetolo¬
gist, had never seen Floyd's work previ¬
ously, but was so taken with his exhibit that
he haggled with two others in order to
purchase "Three Resin Eyes."
Serenil paid $400 for the pieces but said
he would have paid more.
"I've never invested money in art before
and I haven't paid the rent, but I had to have
them," he said.

Tutoring to be
limited to dosses
in demand

The Learning Resource Center at
■v
CSUF will have tutoring available
this semester, but it will be limited to
those «c lasses which have the most
•
demand.
.
According to Director David
Bezayiff, the Center will have enough
*»
money for the fall to prioritize tutor¬
ing for classes with the most demand,
-
such as math.
TheCenterisencouraging students
to come in, however.
"I don'r want swdents to figure
there is not going to be tutoring any¬
more," Bezayiff saieV"We are still
*
going to try to tutor as many students
as possible." N
' .
But the staff will be reduced. Stu¬
dents anfl tutors will probably not get
phone calls to remind them of ses¬
•
sions, and classes for which the center
does not get much demand will not
have tutors available. The total num¬
ber of tutors will, therefore, be re¬
duced.
v
Bezayiff, who is taking over Rita
.
* Dunbar's position as director of the
Learning Resource Center, as yet does
.
not know how exactly how much
.
money will be available this year-
only that it will be less than last year.
<
"Tm not sure exactly when tutor¬
ing will start," he said "And I'll have
■
to see what the demand is for each
class before I decide what subjects
will be tutored."
Bezayiff hopes students will come
into the center early on so he will
.
know where students want and need
help.
