Consumer, Center's zeal drops

faculty could lead like they do at
U.C. Davis."
In past years. Garth ssid, the
center had handled written con-
sometimes for legal action.
The center also has done
comparative pricing projects on
drugs, books, gas. food and
apartments. It sponsored a Con¬
sumer Day at Fashion Fair with
the Fresno County Department of
Weights and Measures. Garth said
students also have written letters
and sent petitions to representa¬
tives supporting consumer
legislation.
But the projects have dwindled,
and so has faculty support. Two
professors who use to give units
for students working in the center
have stopped doing so.
Katherine Karikka, associate
professor of home economics,
had the original idea for the center
and "was Just waiting for an
That student, Don Beckman,
teamed up with Garth and
another student and began the
center in January, 1974 as an
independent study project. Kar-
rikka said she lent her support as
an advisor, but was not directly in
Karikka said she thought the
center would be a means for
consumer education, making con¬
sumers aware of their rights .snd
responsibilities. "And there are
responsibilities as well as rights,"
she sdded.
She also thought the center
could help students get compensa¬
tion on complaints involving
faulty production, fraudulent
practices, bait and switch tactics
and other gimmicks. Another role
was to show support for consumer
legislation.
Karrikka withdrew from her
advisor role in Fall 1974, but said
she remained a consultant.
"If the students want an
advocacy group, that's fine,"
Karikka said but she felt the
students should Join PIRO for
support of their advocacy role.
As she became less involved,
Karikka said she preferred to
direct her energies to "education¬
al pursuits rather than radical
consumer advocacy," and had her
students to the same.
Karikka also said because not
enough students came into the
center with complaints, there was
not enough work for her students "
to justify credit.
Garth said the center handled
19 written cases each year for the
last two years and gave advice on
about three times that many cases.
This year he has given advice on
five or six complaints but has not
handled any written complaints.
Although the consumer ad¬
vocacy aspect of the center did not
bother Doug Cords, associate
professor of marketing, be said he
quit sending students to the center
or giving them units for his
"Consumerism and Marketing"
class because the center was
unorganized and seldom open.
Cords said he didn't want to
send students there for credit until
he was sure they would benefit.
"If I sent * student up there
now to work, they would have to
go fit and build the orgsnization
and that is not my goal as a
teacher," he said.

ground work for the center three

Cords, like Garth, attributed
the CSUF situation to apathy. He
said the only way students are
aware of consumerism is if they
have had a consumer problem or
gone through a consumer class.
Cords feels the center could be
valuable as an information or¬
ganization supplying students
with hundreds of free brochures
and bringing guest speakers to
speak on consumer problems like
tenant-landlord relations.
