Virgil Cope sits in a cluttered kiosk next to the cam¬
pus' largest parking area amid desks and paperwork. En¬
veloped in the poorly lit building, he wails —whether
drivers come in droves or not at all- and dispenses infor¬
mation when it's needed.
And, for the past two and a half decades, this man has
doubtless had the best seat available for witnessing
CSUF grow from a sleepy college of 9,000 students to a
university of just under 22,000.
Cope served as an officer on the campus police force
until 1981 when heart disease made performing law en¬
forcement impossible and, for his money, some of the
biggest changes began with the cops themselves.
"When I first came here, you didn't need any exper¬
ience," Ihe former lieutenant says of the early brand of
campus law enforcement misfit who jitst "liked to wear
the uniform or thought this was a retirement job."
To put into perspective the change he has seen, note
that the turbulance of the sixties had yet not yet begin
when Cope was a rookie at Fresno Stale College in
1962 and that the campus security department—they
were not made police until the riots broke out—housed a
student-run fiie-fighting unit
"Anyone who needed a job and was ready to put in
some rough hours,* could serve with the campus fire
crew. Cope remembered. The 12-man crew set-up (com¬
plete with dormitory) was discontinued in the mid-
seventies when a dispute over the students' salaries.
Change came fast and irrevocable later that decade. The
campus needed cops, not unarmed security men, when
the winds of protest set down in the Central Valley.

Doctoral
proposal
approved
BY MARY BETH ALEXANDER
Staff Writer
The academic senate voted unani¬
mously Monday to support the first joint
doctorate program proposed for CSUF,
despite concerns over admission require¬
ments and funding.
"This is such a unique item to be
moving' tnrou£fi —owr ~c*Mnptw, said Or.
Rosemary Papalewis, joint doctorate
committee chair, who worked more than
two years on the joint doctorate for
education administration proposal. "It's a
good testament to the fact thai the con-
- sultative process works."
Despite strong campus and community
support, there were still qualms about the
source of funding for the program, which
will cost more than $300,000 in the first
year, and triple that by the end of the
fifth.
"What guarantee do we have that it is
not going to come off the top of other
department budgets?" asked business pro¬
fessor Dr. Chris Butts, who said that his
department is already operating on a tight
budget.
"It is a very rich formula," and should
receive full funding, said CSUF Vice
President Judith Kuipers. Kuipers assured
the senate that if the program doesn't get
complete stale support it will not con¬
tinue.
According lo the proposal, the program
would get special funding from the state,
and would extract no monies from the uni¬
versity.
Reservations also surfaced about
admitting only employed teachers and
administrators from school districts

Dorm 'guest' rules getting ignored
BY KIM KA SARI AN
Steffi Writer
The rules in the dorm code,
which every new resident re¬
ceives at the beginning of every
semester, state it clearly: Over¬
night visitors must be approved
by the resident adviser, and no
overnight visitors of the oppo¬
site sex in i resident's room.
But when confronted with
these rales, most students living
in the dorms seem to either
laugh or explain why the rules
established for overnight guests
are so often ignored.
"The rales are set down, then
if there are any problems, the
resident advisers can get down on
us." said freshman Jeff Pear¬
son,19. who lives in Homan
Hall.
Pearson and his roommate,
Sean Glover, 18, admit to occas¬
ionally having overnight guests
in their room. They also notice
other residents m dorms vio¬
lating the same rules.
According to the dorm code,
the resident adviser must know if
a guest is going to-be spending
the night in a dorm room.
"We have guests, but we
never tell anyone," Glover said
with a grin. He added that most
of his and Pearson's guests are
students who need a place to
"crash" for the evening, but said,
"Some people do get a little
wild." n
The RAs "aren't going to do
bed checks." or closely monitor
a resident's room. Glover said,
unless a roommate has complain¬
ed to the RA. What is im¬
portant, he stressed, is that the
two roommates establish a good
line of communication. Pearson
agreed that most problems con¬
cerning overnight guests could
be eliminated by the two room¬
mates having an understanding
about what is acceptable.
With a food rapport between
them, roommates may follow
the "unwritten rule", as freshman
Mendy Smith calls it, that
allows overnight guests of the
opposite sex.
Even the RAs are instructed to
enforce the rales only if it be¬
comes a problem for one of the
roommates, according to resident
adviser Mark Haggard, 20.
Haggard's job is to play med¬
iator between two roommates,
should a proWera occur. Most
