Urban studies is the science of planning
the growth of communities to present the
problems of environmental damage,
energy mismanagement and poor trans¬
portation systems, as well as other prob¬
lems found in unplanned cities.
"Almost any student majoring in soci¬
ology of the humanities might find this
major interesting," he said.
Three thousand fifty-five undergradu-
ate students from throughout CSUF will
| be mailed surveys. Different surveys wore
developed to reflect the concerns'of stu¬
dents at different stages in their education.
Freshman and sophomores. Merchan
said, are most likely to be considering
theirchoice of majors. Thesurvcysscntto
them concentrate specifically on whether
they would be interested in urban studies.
It is this group which will decide
whether CSUF should consider a URP
major as well as a minor.
Merchan said he has less hope for the
approval of the major. "Any new major
would really be looked at carefully," he

Juniors are being surveyed about their
interest in the Capstone courses. "They
are the ones who are more likely to be
thinking about meeting their G.F..S,"
Merchan said.
Students were chosen randomly on the
basis of their social security number.
All seniors from selected majors related
to urban studies are being surveyed con¬
cerning their interest in the graduate pro¬
gram, which has fewer students this year
than in the past. One particular problem
in graduate studies is that minorities do
not enroll nearly as much as whites do.
Merchan said he hopes that by gettihg in
touch with <he minority students, they
might be more likely to continue their
education.
Only 20-23 percent of those surveyed
are expected to respond. /
"We really hope a lot of people will take
the lime to fill it out and send it back,"
Merchan said. "It'll be a real help to us.

Bill, the flea-bitten character in the
famous cartoon strip Bloom County, sup¬
posedly died last summer, after only living
for three years. According to the strip,
authored by Berke Breathed, the cat
became too famous for his own good.
"Too fast to live, too gross to die," was
his epitaph.
The cat was not killed violently, nor was
his audience allowed to view his death.
Readers were only told that Bill sped off
down Route 66 to oblivion, where he was
killed...the coroner's report simply read
"death by acne."
Fans, such as myself, have missed Bill
and some of us wrote Mr. Breathed,
pleading for Bill to be resurrected.
Stranger things have happened in Bloom
County.
Lately on the strip. Bill the Cat was
nominated as the presidential delegate
from Bloom County. Still, no one has seen
