Angeles, Stanford University
students are working two after¬
noons each week to provide tutor¬
ing sessions ior disadvantaged
The Community Action Coali¬
tion was formed after four white
police officers were acquitted in
May 1992 in the beating of African
American motorist Rodney King.
Rioting that left scores of people
dead broke out as a reaction to the
acquittal.  .
About 20 teens met with Stanford
University students at East Palo
Alto Church.
The Knowledge Sharing Pro¬
gram also provides drama and jour¬
nalism studies, as will working with
teens on community service.
" There are so few programs for
kids 15 and older. It's as if there
were aglass ceiling," said Stanford
senior Tracy Clay.
" We were very concerned that
this was not a one-time event. We
wanted to translate our anger into
long-term action."
The Community Action Coali¬
tion also provides job training and
placement for teens in East Palo
Alto, a mostly Hispanic and Afri¬
can-American area, and other com¬
munities in the Bay Area. Most of
the jobs are on campus.
About 30 teen-agers participated
in the program in 1992 and learned
how to work with computers, write
a resume and build skills to be¬
come managers, f-

sponsibility," saidcoordinatorAJ.

to off-set costs of

• " How many ways can you spell
depressing?" said Richard Backer,
Director of Admissions, Records
and Evaluations.
Reacting to recent state budget
cuts which drastically effect CSUF,
Backer implemented a new adver¬
tising program to offset costs gen¬
erated from mailings of course
schedules.
Fall 19% semester marked the
first opportunity for a vendor of
Kennel Bookstore to advertise in a
university mailing. IBM featured
discounted computers. According
to Backer, CSUF saved close to
five thousand dollars in printing
costs last semester and predicts
similiar savings this spring. The
Spring 1993 Class Schedule fea¬
tured Jostens College Rings which
will be sold on special at Kennel
Texas band
accused of
shoplifting
Houston (CPS) — Twelve
members of the Texas Southern
University marching band were
disciplined after being accused of
shoplifting electronic items during^
a recent trip to Japan.
University President William
Harris also ordered the disband-
ment of the Ocean of" Soul March¬
ing Band and its associated groups.
The 12 band members allegedly
" stole more" than 100 electronic
products the day after a Dec. 6
football game between the Univer¬
sity of Nebraska and Kansas State
University in Tokyo.
The names of the students and
the type of punishments were not
disclosed.
The thefts, totaling $20,000,
were reported after band members
went on a shopping trip to
Akihabara, an area in Tokyo with
hundreds of electronic shops.   *~-
No charges were filed because
merchants were unable to make a
positive identification.
The investigation also revealed
that 28 persons who are not cur¬
rently enrolled students traveled
with the bank to Tokyo. An undis¬
closed number of non-students
were involved in the incident
Bookstore, February 22.through
February 26. CSUF absorbed
costs for postage and Jostens paid
for the printing.
According to Backer, the adver¬
tisers approached by Kennel Book¬
store Manager, Larry Taylor, have
beentvery enthusiastic about the
program. recog n i zi ng it as a viable
way to reach students. The next
mailing wilt feature Apple Com¬
puters which are sold at Kennel
Bookstore. Backer anticipates even
greater savings for CSUF in the
future as vendors will also be asked
to cover bulk mailing expenses.
Backer first met with Larry Tay¬
lor, Kennel Bookstore Manager
and Minerva Escobedo. Registrar,
last spring to formulate the new
program. * According to Backer,
offering special discount programs
in the campus mailings will hope¬
fully increase traffic in the book¬
store along with generating in¬
creased sales of class rings or Apple
computers.
"Naturally we would rather have
students purchase their supplies on
campus. Vendors rfeed to give
them something that is appealing."
