Campus activities prices remain same
By TOM MAURER
Dispelling ,
pus over projected hikes In ticket
prices to CSUF theatre events, the
Instructlonally Related Activities
(IRA) Advisory Board allocated ad¬
ditional money at its regular
meeting of August 24 to retain
In addition to theatre. IRA
areas include forenslcs. athletics,
the marching band, music, judging
teams. Insight, business simula¬
tion games, the art gallery and
the pep band.
"In addition to the ticket
prices." Associated Students Pres��
ident Gordon Riddle said, "the AS
has a long-standing policy with
the faculty that 1/ they buy student
activity cards for four consecutive
years they will receive one free as
long as they are still on campus.
"We are very concerned over
the possibility of losing guest priv¬
ileges on the student activity cards
for both students and faculty if
these increases take place," he said.
Guest privileges allow the card
holder to bring a guest for the
lowest offered price.
Under the motion of Dr. Louis
Volpp. the board allocated an ad¬
ditional (5.000 pending the ap¬
proval of •25.730 In state funds
for IRA activities.
A proposed increase of 50
cents across the board in ticket
prices in addition to a cancellation
of the guest privilege on student   i
activity cards, was quelled with
the increased allocation.
The raise satisfied an Inflation-
caused deficit of »3.644 and In¬
creased the IRA theatre budgeted
money from •7.650 to • 12.678.
The theatre prices will remain
•3 - «»2 - »1 for the 1978-79 school
year.
The board also recommended
to President Norman Baxter a re
qutettion for each IRA budgeted
area for sources of income and
dlspersements for .the 1978-79
fiscal year.
The request, the board af¬
firmed, would be for Information
purposes only and would be pre¬
sented at the Sept- 7 meeting
through Dr. Volpp s office.
The request for the line items
from the various budgeted areas
was brought to the board by Rid¬
dle who felt the breakdown would
report where the money was going
and what the areas' were doing.
Volpp agreed saying. "I would
like to see a breakdown of the *RA
budgeted areas, also. We should
have those items listed with' at
least enough Information to de¬
scribe the fonctionsof the activity."
"We need, however, to layout
very sharply what we want when
we make out budget requests.- he
satd. "I dont want to get a lot of
information we dont really need.,"
The board agreed to request��a revised budget from the areas
reporting what money each has,
what revenues it has available,
what accomplishments It has
made, and what it p

It's an investment of time and
energy but It's a worthwhile under¬
taking, according, to Associated
Students President Gordon Riddle.
The time is not a lot and the effort
put Into it returns In dividends
toward fending off the misunder¬
standings of a large college cam¬
pus. 'It' la student government.
Student government la not a
complicated organization with an
elite group of students running
the entire operation, said Riddle.
"Student gcrvrrrnment positions
are not all flTed and we are always
looking for students to get in¬
volved," he said. "There are all
kinds of positions on various com¬
mittees stlU to be filled."
Although the major positions
were flQed through last semester's
election, a committee position
would probably be Just right for a
person Interested In student gov¬
ernment this semester. Riddle stud.
"I would say a committee po¬
sition would not take more than
three or four hours a weak." he
said. "If a person puts four hours
a week Into a committee I would
say a lot could be done."
Faculty-student committees
include ones dealing with student
affairs and registration, while As¬
sociated Students' committees In¬
clude the grievance board, the
media council, and public affairs.
Positions filled during last
semester's election were those of
AS president, legislative vice pres¬
ident. College Union vice president
senators and College Union board
members.
"As president. 1 feel 1 have
more discretion In my functions
than the other two executiva of¬
ficers." Riddle said. V
Two major functions of the
AS president are to insure nomin¬
ations are made for the student-
faculty committees which are "the
arms of the academic senate,"
Riddle said, and to be a recognized
spokesman for the Associated Stu-
■ dents, making the position of the
student body heard not only on
campus but within the cornirrunity.
"There's a degree of public re¬
lations to the Job." Riddle said,
"because more than anyone else.
I'm a recognized figure for the stu¬
dent body. Therefore I must attend
certain events throughout the
year.""
The AS president Is a voting
merriber of the CSUF Association,
and ts on the Food Services Ad¬
visory C*ouncil and the Bookstore
Advisory Council, both under the
Association, the business organi¬
zation which oversees the school'
services.
He to also on trie College Union
Board and Is an ex-ofnclo member
of the AS senate. He Is the chair¬
man of the recently installed In¬
structlonally Related Activities Ad¬
visory Board, also.
The president win install two
assistants, one for chiefly clerical
duties while the other win serve
as the executive coordinator.
Dave Ditora holds the-office
of legislative vice president, a po¬
sition enUtling htm to chair the
AS senate. He is responsible for
all senate business although he
has input in other areas.
The College Union vice presi¬
dent. D-rrtd Pinuelas. chairs the

Pinuelas Is also the financial
officer for the AS.

volvement is important towards
the whole perspective of your
preparing you for the future, your
tavormnent in student affairs Is
often a good criteria for employ¬
ment."
The disadvantages. Riddle
The AS senate includes 15
senators, one from each of the
nine schools on campus, one rep¬
resenting graduate students, one
representing the undeclared ma¬
jors and four *at large."
The Senate is chiefly respon¬
sible for allocation of funds RldcUe
sald. Its weekly sessions involve
Items dealing with the AS budget.
Riddle emphasized that any
information concerning the stu¬
dent government Is readily avail¬
able at College Union 306.
"There are unMmited oppor¬
tunities for lrr»rvement." he said.
"The senate positions are
pretty weB a 10-hour-a-week Job.
while'the executive positions are
almost a full-time job." he said.
••The student government here
at CSUF Is on a much different
level than high school or even
Junior college. Certainly the most
popular person on campus. If run¬
ning for anything at aU. may not
get elected.'' he said.
