Questions hsve been raised by
CSUF ttudenU regarding the
administration's policy of not
printing a student's major on hit
diploma.
Rosemary Glenn, a social
welfare major, has asked the
Associated Student Senate to
review the situation and make a
proposal to the administration.
Initially; the senate considered
Glenn's proposal in early Oc¬
tober. Barbara Kissinger,
legislative vice president, wrote
s letter to Donald Kausch,
chairman of the academic policy
and planning committee,
requesting information on the
matter.
In that letter, Kissinger
pointed out that "many students
would like to have their major
appear on the diploma."
The matter waa referred to
Kent Davles, director of ad¬
mission* and records, by tbe
committee.
Davie*        responded to
Kissinger's request in a letter
dated Nov. 2, 1978. In it, Davie*
outlined the re*ton behind the
university's decision not to In¬
clude a student's major on the
CSUF diploma
Davles said when tbe
university wss renamed In 197J,
redealgnlng of diplomas became
"After some research." said
Davies. "the committee decided
not to include the major.
"Diplomas from s Urge
number of other institutions were
reviewed and it was determined
that  many of the leading in¬
stitutions In the country did not
Include the major."
Davles slso said the committee
determined that a "large number
of college graduates pursue
employment in areas outside
their major."
He concluded In the letter that
"more studenU would prefer not
to have their major listed than
would prefer to have it lilted."

Glenn disagreed with Davies.
"In a field Uke mine (social
welfare) it generates confidence
if people see you majored in the
subject," said Glenn.
"A lot of students I've Ulked to
want It on there," she said.
In an interview with the
CollegUn. Davies reiterated the
reasons behind the declaion.
• "I question it (making the
change) because we get maybe
one student a year out of ap¬
proximately 3,000 asking for the
change." said Davies.
He ruled out the possibility of
making the itudent'* major
optional on the diploma because
of the question of validity
"If one diploma hat it and one
doe*n't, some might question It."
Although ruling this option out,
Davies made it clear that the
administration does not have any
reservations about changing IU
policy toward printing a
student's major on the diploma.
"It doesn't make a bit of dif¬
ference to us ss long aa we're
doing what the majority of
studenU want."
Davies said the additional cost
would be minimal (28 cenU per
diplomas) and would not cause

Kissinger said the senate is
taking no action on the matter at
this time. The proposal Initially
had been turned over to the
Public Attain Committee, but
several committee members had
resigned and no new ap-
pointmenu had been made.
"We have had to appoint
senators to the Budget and Legal
Committees first because these
have priority," said Kissinger.
She said that after the two
newest senate members are
confirmed, probably at
tomorrow'* meeting, the Public
Affairs Committee will be able to
consider the problem.
"I foresee the senate taking
action of the proposal by the
middle of March." said
Kissinger. "The committee will
be working on It until then."
Kissinger emphasized the need
for atudenta to make their
preference known. \
"We want studenU to call the
office (487-2857) so we know how
many studenU want their major
