Nuclear
Freeze:
it makes
sense
nt* Z—the Dally Coateghu—AprH II, I Hi
The United States can destroy planet Earth
40 times over with its nuclear arms arsenal.
The Soviet Union can destroy that same work!
another 17 times. The two countries combined
have 50,000 nuclear weapons.
These statements tell us something. They
tell us taht the leaders of these two super
powers—with all their technology and know-
how—dont realize what the common folk
already know: Once is enough; once planet
Earth is gone, there's no tomorrow; it's goodbye human race.
It's with this realization that United States
citizens have started two major campaigns to
voice their concerns over the nuclear threat.
One of those efforts is "Ground Zero," a
nation-wide effort in 700 cities to inform the
nation of the devastating effects of a nuclear
explosion. "Ground Zero" was started last
Sunday, and will continue through next
Sunday. '•
The second effort seeks to use the ballot to
get its point across. Supporters of the Bilateral
Nuclear Weapons Freeze Initiative have collected over 500,000 signatures in California to
put the initiative on the November state ballot.
Only time will tell whether the current
administration, which seems more interested
in increasing our destructive power rather
than reducing it, will listen to the people it
supposedly represents.
Both powers spare no expense in getting
involved with other peoples' affairs to try to
solve conflicts, but have yet to come to terms
over the biggest problem they will ever face—
the destruction of nearly five billion human
lives.
The problem has been with us for over 30
years and we are no closer to solving it than we
were during the Cold War. Stockpiling of
nuclear arms has continued at the rate of over
14,000 weapons a year.
It cannot, it must not, continue. The answer
is simple. The United States and the Soviet
Union must adopt a mutual freeze on the
testing, production and deployment of all
nuclear weapons. The two great powers must
present an example to the rest of the world.
Critics of the freeze say it would seriously
endanger the United States' security. But the
truth remains. If one country destroys the
other, it only succeeds in destroying itself.
Let's not destroy ourselves.

New machines can be fun, sometimes..
mi im
<J
Equipment used in the production of a
newspaper can be finicky at best some times.
And when that time includes the breaking in of
new equipment, anything can happen.
Such were the problems encountered by the
Daily Collegian Monday night in the production of Tuesday's newspaper.
Many of you may be familiar with the
cassette commercial where the machine cries
out for "more tape. 1 need oxide."
Well, the Collegian typesetting machine was
extremely hungry Monday night. There was
really no alternative other than to cancel the
issue.
So if you couldn't find us on the stands
yesterday, it's because our new machine was
acting up. We hope that it has gone through
the last of its tantrums and will continue to
behave much the same way it did throughout
March and most of April. And so our readers
can have all the news, everyday.
Letters from readers-
Endorsement

American Business Student Association,
we are proud to endorse the canididate
Mark Steele running for president of our
school's Associated Students.
Based on his involvement in I-ABSA at
different occasions, we feel that as a president of the Associated Students Mr.
Steele will continue to help our association to reach its main objective: the communication berween American and foreign students of the school of business.
Distressed
To the editor:
1 was quite distressed with the Daily
Collegian when I read the editorial regarding the A.S. Senate's Awards Banquet. I
realize that the Daily Collegian does not
always agree with the Senate's policies
and expenditures, but I do not believe that
the Daily Collegian has done too badly
this year in receiving the funding they
To start with, the Senate voted to repair
the Daily Collegian air conditioning system at the beginning of the year in the
amount of $750 (approximately). Then in
December, 1981 the Senate approved the
Daily Collegian request for new typesetting equipment in the amount of $43,960,
which no doubt will sooner or later benefit
the students once the paper comes out
daily and before noon. Hopefully that will
occur this year sometime (you only have
about a month to accomplish this great
feat that has been done in the past without
much problem.).
In addition to these, the Daily Collegian this semester requested a line item
transfer of $ 1,000 (there was extra money
because the Daily Collegian lost its "daili-
ness*) so 14 people could go to a journalism conference; which in itself is not
extravagant, however, the fact that the
editor had attended the same conference
previously (at least once) and that none of
the minority newspapers were asked if
they had interest in the conference was
contrary to student interest in equal repre-'
sentation. But because the Daily Collegian felt that the staff deserved reward for
all their hard work and the senate agreed
with this point: the expenditure was ap-
I do not necessarily disagree with this
but I am pointing out that while the Daily
Collegian staff works hard and deserves
reward in addition to their pay (yes folks,
they do get paid), the A.S. Senate works
hard too. but their only reward is in self-
satisfaction and the A.S. Awards Ban-
Senators are not sent to the NCAA
Basketball regional], but the Daily Collegian, with A.S. money, sent four people to
both games. "Why four?* I asked when I
got the travel application. Individuals
attending the NCAA Basketball games
were the Sports Editor Chuck Barney,
Editor-in-Chief Wayne Agner. reporter
Leo Holzer, and photographer Mark
Teague. I can understand Chuck and
Mark but how many reporters do you
need to write a story? Three? But of
course, it is a long drive to Utah"!
The main point I want to emphasize is
that while the Senate is not perfect and
while you may not agree with everything
the Senate does, the senators still put in
the time and effort while trying lo best
represent student concerns. All anyone
can do is try, and as Administrative Vice
President I know that most of them do
work long and hard hours. Just because
you disagree with their decisions doesn't
make that time or effort less important.
Finally, the Awards Banquet actually
averages out to about S20 a person (including awards). That is not a lot of
money for a year's work.
Martha M. Davis
ive Vice President
Editor's Note:
Travel money to cover the NCAA regional in Utah came from the Daily Collegian budget and went to cover gasoline
costs only. All who went covered their
own personal expenses, including food
and lodging. Four persons were necessary
to handle the driving (15 hours—one
way).
Good job
To the editor:
Congratulations to the Arts and Humanities Forum and the College Union
Program Board. This year the students of

entertaining performance of the Chitresh

praise.
We are luck to have such a creative
group of people working to bring unique

Race for Legislative Vice President
Kaufman concentrates on student affairs...
CS UF Associated Student senator Chris
Kaufman, candidate for AS legislative
vice president, said if his opponent Michele
Davis, also an AS senator, is elected,
"world problems" will be discussed more
than campus student issues at senate
meetings.
Although he realized the "importance*
of such issues, Kaufman said. AS senate
meet ings are not the place to d iscuss them.
The AS is "unable to solve these world
problems," Kaufman said. *so why not

lASm
According to Kaufman, Davis has
brought such issues as apartheid up in
past AS meetings and probably will in
future meetings if elected.
Kaufman, a sophomore political science
major, said if elected he will concentrate
on issues 'of relevance" to CSUF students. Such issues include Food Services
on campus and the CU Satellite.
Kaufman also said he would like to see
senate meetings run 'more orderly" so the
minutes can be taken "more easily* and
hold more senate meetings downstairs in
the CU to encourage students to observe
what goes on in senate meetings. Kauf-
man said be intends, if elected, to approach
programs and areas that may need bua"-
geting before they approach him.
According to Kaufman, areas such as
business, agriculture and engineering are
'virtually ignored." These programs, Kaufman said, have not requested help in
budgeting and may possibly need it.
"These areas have some of the bigger
programs on campus as far as student
involvement,' Kaufman said, and are "losing our" on funding. When asked if funding for these programs is In existence,
Kaufman said that if these programs show
an interest in budgeting help then budget
monies will have to be cut back in other
As far as budget cuts go, Kaufman said,
"Nothing should be cut," but realistically
programs will be cut. Programs need to be
"prioritized" according to the number of
students being directly serviced by them.
Kaufman said. If a program is servicing i

they should have priority over smaller
programs.
"Larger programs and services have
taken a back seat to more narrow and
specialized programs," Kaufman said.
Programs Kaufman feels are "high on
the list of priorities' include: Intramural
sports, recreation. Vintage Days, the Daily
Collegian and KFSR.
Kaufman, chair of the finance and
budget committee, said he would like to
see 'more money" go towards the growth
of Intramurals and Vintage Days. He said
he would like to sec the Daily Collegian
"stay at a level where it can maintain itself
until it can go out and get more advertising and hopefully, can eventually support
itself." Kaufman said he would have liked
to have seen K FSR get the $3,000 in funding they requested so they can "get themselves off the ground."
Funding for KFSR 'shouldn't have
been cut. It's sort of like slapping them in
the face after we bought the equipment for

...Davis wants to keep students informed
Michele Davis, CSUF Associated Student senator and candidate for AS legislative vice president, said campus student
issues and world issues are 'really inseparable" am! students need to be made
a ware of issues t hat will directly, as well as
indirectly, affect them.
This campus should be a thinking
ground, Davis said. These are the seeds
of the future right here (referring to the
student body),' Davis said, "you've got to
nourish them."
AS senator Chris Kaufman, Davis'opponent, has said that if Davis was elected,
then world problems would be discussed
more than campus student issues at senate
To this Davis said. That's not true."
According to Davis, student government leaders should ensure that CSUF
students are informed on as many issues
as possible, including community and
world issues.
"If that's too worldly for Kaufman,"
Davis said, "then I'm guilty.*
Students will eventually enter the 'real
world," Davis said. They can't remain in
their "cocoon, which is very sheltering."
They must be made aware of what is going
on in the "outside world," she said.
Kaufman, labeling himself as a "consensus builder.' said that when it comes to
listening to people's ideas at senate meetings and voting with the senate, Davis
does not have the skills required to do so.
Davis said that she works well with
people, listens and adds a "humanistic"
input to senate discussions.
'1 don't have as many problems getting
people to cooperate as Kaufman does,"
Davis said. Davis, who has been involved
with the AS for one year formally and two
other years informally, said her experience in dealing and working with others
give both her and the people she works
with a "sense of productiveness."

As a senator, this year, Davis said she
worked actively on the Coors boycott
issue. She conducted research from 13
news sources, she said. Findings from her
research revealed that Coors was in the
process of suggesting to President Ronald
Reagan that financial aid cuts be made
and tax breaks to families who sent their
children to private schools be implemented.
Davis, a psychology/ health science
administration major, said she is not as
"hung-up as Chris (Kaufman) is about
parliamentary procedure."
She said she realized the importance of
the procedures but that sometimes it is not
always "necessary and can waste peoples president.
