In addition to administering a nearly
J300.000 budget, the Associated Stu¬
dents, the student body government at
CSUF, keeps an eye on student services,
academic affairs and even legislation
by state and local government.
Those are the four major functions of
the AS., according to A.S President
Luis Sepulveda.
Part of the A.S. budget funds school
functions ranging from the Chkano
Youth Conference to the pep squad
The budget also covers such services as
tutoring and Child  Day Care Center
Of the mandatory fees paid by stu¬
dents to CSUF each semester, S10 is
earmarked for the A S
According to the final budget report,
more than J50,000 will be spent on what
an A.S. pamphlet calls 'cultural, ethnic
and festive programs,' designed to
'break down the biases of ' diff¬
erent ethnic groups.*
Events such as Sernana de la Raza,
Creek Week, Black History Week and
Amerasia Week receive funding through
theA.S.
More than $37,000 goes to school
media, including the Daily CelMgltn,
the campus radio station and the literary
magazine. Backwash. Two minority
publications, LaVoz de Aztlan and
Uhuru na Umoja, are funded through the
Daily Collegian.

A pamphlet entitled "Associated Stu¬
dents,' available in the A.S. office,
indicates A.S. operating expenses
come to more than $46,000, IS percent
of the total budget. An additional
$49,000 has been allocated In the final
report for administration of student
government. That figure does not app¬
ear in the pamphlet. This brings the
money budgeted to the A.S. to nearly
$100,000, or one third of the total bud¬

said be was not aware of the discrepancy
between the final budget report and the
pamphlet information.
'It (the correct information) should have
been In there (the pamphlet),* Watson
said.
Sepulveda said the omission of the
information was an oversight.
'We had a public relations intern
doing that and he must have left it out,*
he said. 'It was sort of a rush Job to
get it done.*
Sepulveda said one problem in doling
out funds is that of too many demands
on too few dollars.
"We get budget reguests totalllna
about $470,000on our $300,000 budget,'
he said. "There have Dean no (mand¬
atory) fees Increases in 20years.*
Many of the programs funded do not
rely totally on A.S. money to survive.
The Child Day Care Center gets state
money, for instance, Watson said,
wfth the I ntramural s program taking In
money through IM fees and tournament
entry fees.

An A.S. budget can be vetoed by
CSUF President Harold Haak, but a
veto is rare, according to Watson.
He said the dean of student affairs
watches over the A.S. budget for the
president and serves as 'an advisor of
sorts* to the A.S.
Besides collecting and handing out
money, Sepulveda said the A.S. is inv¬
olved   with   other   things,   including .
"academic governance."
This governance amounts to prov¬
iding input into academic policy through
faculty-student committees.
Sepulveda points to the existence
of a Student Service Advisory Board to
illustrate another function of the A.S.,
that of 'watchdogging student ser¬
vices,* such as the Health Center,
financial aid and recreational programs.
Another area on which Sepulveda
said the A.S. keeps an eye is that of
government action, on both the state and
local level, which pertains to CSUF
students!
A current example he gives of such
action on a local level is the possibility
the city and county may eliminate a
jointly operated bus route which covers
Barstow, Marks and Chestnut avenues
near the CSUF campus.
An example on the state level is the
possibility of implementing tuition
at state colleges and universities, a
reaction to the pinch created by the pass¬
age of Prop 13.
The A.S: has a lobbyist, June Robert¬
son, who serves as a liaison between
the Chancellor's office and the A.S.
The A.S. lobbies In state government
through the California State. Student
Association, which encompasses the
student governments of 18 state colleges
and universities.
The A.S. officers this year are Sep¬
ulveda, Watson and Luis Ambriz,
administrative vice president. Fifteen
senators make up the senate, repre¬
senting the various schools.

CU programing wants
own building, equipment
By Tsj-i i f rVioore
A College Union program building
may appear on campus sometime in the
next few years, according to Gary
Bongiovanni, CU program director.
Unfortunately, Bongiovanni said,
it will also be sometime before trie seat¬
ing problems in the current facility,
the CU lounge, are solved.
Although the CU program office says
it seldom receives complaints, there are
pillars In the lounge that obstruct vis¬
ion during movies and performances,
tow couches in the center of the lounge
that are difficult to see from, seats too
far off to the sides to hear properly
and it often appears as if more tickets
are sold than there are seats.
According to the office, there are no
alternative facilities on campus that can
accomadate the 300-400 people on a
friday night. The lounge seats 500-525
people for toe movies.
'We are hoping for our own building
sometime In the future," Bongiovanni
said. He added that student support will
be Instrumental in getting a new facility,
as will be adequate funding.
Bongiovanni Is confident the building
will exist someday soon but has no Idea
The current facility could be improved
if there ware-more chairs that could be
stacked and increased storage to house
the lounge furnishing during the movie*
This would eliminate the low couches in
the center anbd allow greater seating
capacity and better visibility.
In order to get better sound, new pro-
lectors would have to be purchased,
and again,bongiovanni's hands are
tied because of funding problems.
He said the CU program committee has
pretty good sound equipment to work
with, and that the equipment problems
are based in the projectors.
*lf we can't get good sound off the
film, there Is no way we can get good
sound out of the sound equipment,*
he said.
The 3 p.m. matinees on Fridays are
held in IA 101, which does not have the���seating capacity to handle the evening
crowds. In the past, the little theatre
has been available for Friday night
flicks, but because of Increasing theatre
arts performances, these occasions
are rare.
Zella Woods, CU program office secret¬
ary, said that the size of the lounge and
lack of seating are the problems rather
than overselling of ticket*. 'All tickets
are very carefully numbered, and very
carefully maintained,* she said.
She also said the CU program commi¬
ttee is continually attempting to upgrade
the quality of the equipment It has, but
has to work within the budget.
The objective of the Friday night
movies Is to show CSUF student- good,
cue lent movies at an affordable price.
The staff said it is pleased the price did
