Campus food services: no bargain for students
A Daily Collegian analysis
on to students, s month-long
Daily CoUeglan study has shown.
Dollar for dollar, students are
paying as much to eat on campus
as they would pay at profit-
making commercial food outlets.
For example, a burrlto costs"
35 cents in the Snack Bar; the
same burrlto (withgarnish)coats
40 cents.in the'College Union
Coffee Shop. If a student walks
across the street to Lester-
burger, he can purchase aniden-
ucal burrlto for.34 cents.
On-campus food profits that
<-ould be' passed on to students
seem to be eaten up by labor
.ind axed overhead costs.
The current annual food services budget at CSUF totals
$1 167,000 according to Earle'
lussett, FSC Association general
Out of that budget 40 cents of
every (dollar is spent on food,

operational costs.

budget for the local fast food
chain Includes construction as
well as maintenance of facilities.
Bassett blamed high year-
round overhead costs for forcing
on-campus food prices up. "What
we're up against ts the fact that
we have fixed overhead charges
that go on 12 months a year,"
Bassett told the bally CoUeglan.
Dollar Income for food service
operation comes In from 11 a.m.
2 p.m. during the regular
' year, yet campus food
services remain open during low
volume hours to accommodate
students, Bassett said.
The coffee shop- Is the only
campus food service that remains
open during the summer sessions,. Thorns said, while some
full-time cafeteria workera collect unemployment payments
during the summer.
In a comparison ot campus food
prices with Fresno area commercial food outlets, the CoUeglan found several marked discrepancies In pricing of com-

Electronic mini-calculators help make
school'mini-problem1 for students
By Becky Estrada
Collegian Staff Writer
You've probably seen CSUF
students carrying them around
campus — small devices about
three inches by five Inches and
an inch thick with a keyboard and
screen. They're electronic mini -
calculators and an Increasing
number of students are discoveries their value in taking the
drudgery out of common math
problems.

time, it's accurate, and it's a lot
easier. I can put in more time
studying) rather than getting
bogged down in doing repetitive
arithmetic.*
Marketing senior Pete Majar-
lan said his calculator doesn't
make his advanced statistics
class 'that much easier" but It
"probably cuts tbe time I have
to spend in half.*
The machine's practicality,
versatile performance and fairly
low price nave helped to boost
popularity. -
Models carried in local Fresno
department stores run from $40
J159. They can compute square
roots, floating decimals, reciprocals, and do various other
mathematical feats. Some models
have a memory bank which enables the operator to go through
several mathematical steps and
then caU them back.
Although calculators have all
the earmarks of a gadget, some
observers consider their, popularity a sign that
will have a revolutionary effect.
Bruce Dudley, an office machines salesman at Welnstocks,
said: tbe mini-calculator la

rule obsolete.' He said about 90
par cent of Weinstocks' small
calculators are sold to students
of engineering, chemistry, physics aad accounting.
•But tbe portable la vary hard

50, get 20 and in 24 to 48 hours
they're all sold,"
Cottschalks' office machine
buyer Sharon Neal said "about 90

Montgomery Wards' Graf

But you still need tbe sklU.*

Harry c. costis said be allows
his students' to use calculatora
"A complicated square root
can take you five minutes to do by
