budget, two AS executive officers
note that the amount going to
student service areas will be
negligible.
A recommendation Monday by
the AS Senate Finance and
Budget Committee will be
proposed" tomorrow to the Senate
concerning the allocation of the
IRA monies.
Nonetheless, according to
David Nikssarian, associated
students president, and Barbara
Kissinger, legislative vice-
president, budget adjustments
and federal compliances will
leave only about $222 In a
discretionary fund. Moreover,
that fund, said Kissinger, may or
may not be utilized to help
student service areas.
IRA denotes -laboratory ac¬
tivities like forensics which are
partially sponsored by a
department or those programs

1975. The 1976-77 AS budget listed

budget. These 21 areas Include
Intermurals. KFSR, the campus
radio station, and The Collegian.
The budgetary problems
confronting CSUF developed last
April when the Senate approved
the 1976-77 AS budget by cutting
most area* 19 per cent from what
they received the previous year.
During that April 21 meeting,
Nikssarian, then College Union
vice-president, advocated that
the budget give priority funding
to IRA area* over student ser¬
vices.
He also referred to Gov. Ed¬
mund G. Brown, Jr.'* elimination
of a $23,000 IRA allocation to
CSUF the year before.
In July. Brown signed the 1976-
77 CSUC budget, which included
$485,816 for IRA. Based on an
estimated 13,000 full-time student
enrollment. CSUF will receive
$25,695 of that, according to a
letter dated July 13 from D. Dale
Manner. CUSC vice-chancellor of
business affairs.
Hanner's letter also noted lhat
the appropriation was not to fund
IRA for intercollegiate athletics.
Following Hanner's letter.
Nikssarian said he received a
July 19 memorandum from CSUF
President Norman A. Baxter.
In the memorandum, Baxter
said he was concerned about the
AS budget's allocation to
Women's Athletics, which had
been reduced from $19,643 in 1975-
76 to $15,911.

Title IX the university must show
good faith effort (sic) in
providing equal opportunity for
women athletes in intercollegiate
competition," read part of the
memorandum.
"Therefore," he added, "I am
open to an amendment from the
(AS) Senate on thi* m*tter."
According to an article in The
Daily Collegian dated April 2,
Title IX of the 1972 Federal
Education Act specifies that
athletic areas are given three
years to correct discriminatory
practice*. The act does not
require equal funding for men'*
• and women's athletic budgets,
said the article, but CSUF must
comply with it by 1977.

Heart attack
Dr. says hands off
It could have been fortunate lhat Lynn Mowery was riding her
bicycle past San Ramon building two al 8:45a.m. last Tuesday.
About lhal time. Clarence Becker, an equipment technician in the
psychology department, collapsed after suffering a heart attack.
Mowery. a nursing student, and Nina Henry, a home economics
instructor, kepi Becker alive until medical personnel could take over.
In spite of all efforts. Becker died at St. Agnes Hospital at 10:11 a.m.
lhat day.
"There was nothing that could have been done." said Dr. Marvyh
Schwartz, chief of the medical staff at the CSUF health center.
Heart attacks or other sudden illnesses can occur at CSUF as well
as an other place. When they do lake place, persons near Ihe victim
are often in a quandry about what to do.
According to Schwartz, the best thing to do in medical emergencies
is call for help.
Even when immediate steps are taken, said Schwartz, fate may

But Mordchai Piasek thinks something might have been done.
Piasek. a custodian at San Ramon building two, was the first on the
scene when Becker collapsed.
•If an accident happens here, you have lo call security," Piasek
said. "They go to the health center for a doctor, who comes back with
empty hands."
Piasek strongly believes that CSUF should have its own ambulance.
"It took al least 10 minutes for the ambulance to arrive," he said. "If
we had our own ambulance, it could have saved his life^
•I'm not a doctor, and maybe it wouldn't have made any dif¬
ference." he said. "We shouldn't have to call to the outside for help.
There are thousands of people here.
"Others don't think we need it. They say it's too costly. But how
much is a human life worth? What does his (Becker's) family think it's
worth? 'le may have survived," Piasek said.
