men whohad earned slots to flight
school had their dreams shot out
of the sky late last week. They will
not be going to flight school as
planned.
Because of "production cuts,"
the students lost their slots and
will be reclassified to other posi¬
tions some time this week-
'This was a difficult message to
pass on," said Lt. Col. Robert
Seigel, CSUF AF ROTC's com¬
manding officer. 'If s something
we here at Fresno Sta te don't ha ve
anycontrol over. (Cuts) were made
at a national level."
Nationally, almost 1,000 cadets
were affected by the production
cuts. TerryBoksan,chiefofmedia
relations at the Air Force ROTC's
national headquarters in
Montgomery, Alabama, said 320
people out of 350 in the under¬
graduate pilot training (UPT)
program will be reclassified.
These individuals have already
graduated from colleges and AF
ROTC programs and were cur¬
rently going through the begin¬
ning stages of flight school, said
Boksan.
Another 590 men and women
will be reclassified out of the 1,070
junior and senior cadets tha t origi¬
nally earned flight school slots.
This group included eight CSUF
cadets that had qualified for flight
school based on the yearly national
competiton.

for students
•Business department, fraternity
join to offer income tax assistance
By Carrie Thomas-Good
Collegian Staff Writer
Time is up. Midnight tonight is
the final deadline to avoid late
penalties for 1990 income tax fil¬
ings.
Business club Beta Alpha Psi
and the CSUF Business and Ac¬
countancy Education department
sponsored a tax filing assistance
program on campus this semes¬
ter.
Students were encouraged to
seek help preparing their taxes by
stopping by a tax assistance sta¬
tion that was installed in the Henry
Madden Library.
The program was hailed as a
success by many, including Mau-
rine Crane, Beta Alpha Psi advi¬
sor.
The overall response from most
students interviewed was that the
more they owed the la ter they filed
and the more that was owed to
them the earlier they filed.
Junior James Wood said he was
oneof the lucky ones. "My parents
took care of it for me," said Woods.
David Bonilla, a senior, said
that as of last Friday he hadn't
filed yet. 'This is the first year I've
waited so long to file, and it's
because 1 have to pay this year,"
said Bonilla.

dents can do to help make filing

Schroeder urges action
By Suzanne Kayian
Collegian Staff Writer
Congresswoman Patricia
Schroeder emphasised the need
for women to stand up and take
action, like the women did dur¬
ing the civil rights movement in
the oCs in her keynote address
at the closing session of the
Women's Council of the State
University seventh annual con¬
ference.
The speech focused on the role
of women leaders. Schroeder
spoke toacrowd of aproximately
200 people, made up primarily
by women from all parts of Cali¬
fornia.
Stressing the need for women
to be more vocal in support of
issues such as, affordable, qual¬
ity child care, she pointed out the
absurdity that women today who
have a sick child at home are
better off telling their boss they
have car trouble rather than
admitting the truth. Schroeder
has authored the Family and
Medical Leave Act, which
would provides fora minimum
amount of job-guaranteed,
unpaid leave for the birth,
adoption or serious illness of a
child or dependent parent.
She also discussed the fact
that most medical testing and
research of serious illnesses is
performed on men. She pointed

Saroyan honored in world premiere
By Debbie Richards
Collegian Staff Writer
•Fresno photographer Paul Kalinian
tributes author in documentary film
With respect to the memory of theauthor
who disliked fame and publicity, the Wil¬
liam Saroyan Theatre was decorated sim¬
ply Saturday night. Its theme was also
simple: to celebrate the world premiere of
Paul Kalinian's documentary "William
Saroyan: The Man, The Writer."
Kalinian and a host of Fresno dignitaries
cameout tocelebrate the memory of Fresno's
native son — the Pulitzer Prize winning Sa¬
royan. The documentary is based on a series
of photographs Kalinian took of the author
in 1976.
The evening began with a $125 per per¬
son black-tie reception that attracted a host
of well-wishers who quickly dove into the
mostly Armenian food and savored memo¬
ries of Saroyan.
"I was intrigued by the idea of the fihrt,"
said Joel Fowler, a telecommunications
professor at CSUF. "I look forward to see¬
ing it. We'reall here to honor the memory of
Saroyan." Fowler served as script consult¬
ant for the movie.
Hank Saroyan, the author's nephew and
the writer/director of "Jim Henson's Mup-
pet Babies," said before the premiere that he
was eager to see the film.
"If it's fair and impartial, I won't be of¬
fended and I don't think he would be ei¬
ther," he said.
Mike Connors, the narrator of the film
and a Fresno-bom actor, stood under oneof
Kalinian's photographs as he talked about
Saroyan.
"He was the most fascinating person,"
Connors said. "He exploded into a room.
There was no way he could walk into a
room without everyone saying "Who the
hell is this guy?'"
The film's premiere was preceded by
introductions and the performance of
Saroyan's one-act play "Hello Out There."
Former Mayor Daniel Whitehurst acted as
master of ceremonies and introduced Hank
Saroyan. Saroyan's nephew entertained
