More Chicanos needed in agriculture
In the state of California, the greatest
percentage of the agricultural labor force
is made up of Hispanics, mainly people of
Mexican-American descent. This has
been a historic fact for many years in the
agriculture industry. The sad part of all
this is that the labor force which keeps the
crops growing involves a large number of
these people. A very small percentage, if
not very few individuals, are actually
involved in the managerial, decision making and scientific aspects in the vast field
of the agricultural sciences.
Unfortunately, there are not enough
people of Hispanic descent represented
in this field to have a significant influence
in all the aspects just mentioned. There
are also some barriers that keep young
people of this category from pursuing an
interest in the agricultural sciences. The
principal barrier is that an association is
made between a career in agriculture and
the hard labor of farmwork experienced
by himself and his fami~. Hign school
counselors and college recruitment officers do not emphasize the importance of
the agriculture sciences to those students
with a farmworker family background.
With this idea in mind, the California
Society of Bilingual Agriculturists, an
organization of professional, bilingual-bicultural scientists, firmly supports the.enrollment of more Hispanic students into
higher education in the many aspects of
the agicultural sciences, along with other
projects of equal importance to those

Graduate Programs Lack Minorities
By Bobby Rodriquez
A striking underrepresentation of
minority students has prompted the
CSUF Division of Graduate Studies and
the Office of Student Affirmative Action
to begin actively recruiting qualified
minority candidates.
In a statement taken from "The Chancellor Comments", a newsletter, Chancellor Ann Reynolds said the CSU system
is "committed to do all in its power to
attract and retain, prepare and graduate
appropriate numbers of minorities pres-
According to a graduate study survey,
Blacks and Hispanics make up seven percent and 22 percent, respectively, of California's population, yet only three percent
of Blacks and seven percent of Hispanics
are enrolled in a graduate program.
Dr. David Ross, Assistant Dean, Graduate Division, who along with D.r. Robert
D. Segura, Assistant Vice President of
Academic Affairs/Special Projects, oversees the recruitment project, commented
on the problem.
"Hispanics, in particular, and Blacks
are woefully underrepresented in graduate studies and degrees granted, as far as
we're concerned. The recent census
shows that we have better than 30 percent Hispanic and 13 percent Black in
Fresno County. We're talking about over
30 percent of the minorities, and we certainly don't have that in graduate school."
ently underrepresented in our enrollments." She added, "We must embark on
a major plan to facilitate entry, as well as
graduation of Hispanics and other minority students."
Earl Young, a Master's candidate in
mass communication, and Shannon
Quinn, a graduate student in counseling,
have been given the task of recruiting
qualified students. The pair is known as
graduate "Peer Recruiters."
"If we cai1 have an impact on students
to maintain or increase minority enrollment in graduate studies, I think we've
done a hell of a lot---we offer a service,
humble and personal," he said.
Young also extends an open invitation
to anyone interested in the graduate progran:i. "We want students, not just minority students, to feel welcome in the graduate office; they are needed."
That service includes finding out what
the student's needs are, explaining the
master's degree program and Graduate
Records Exam, and indicating the people
and places to contact.
The recent effort to recruit minorities
into the CSUF graduate program is a unique one. According to Young, universities generally have full-time professionals
as graduate recruiters. "What we're doing
is unique. It's put together for students,
by students; we're not professionals."
Dr. Segura added that the service is
designed to bridge the gap between the
students and the graduate office. The
office links the student with the academic
area of his or her choice.
The basic admission requirements for
graduate school are a baccalauareate
degree from an accredited undergraduate
ir.stitution and a 2.5 grade point average
on a scale of 4.0 in the last 60 units of
undergraduate study.
Young stresses the need for Blacks and

do.
Segura commented on the uniqueness
of the program. "This has never been
done before at CSUF; it's the first of its
kind." Segura noted that the University of
California system has long had a graduate
recruitment program, primarily in the
doctorate program.
The extra one or two years in school
can be an inhibiting factor to students and
their willingness to continue. Ross and the
"Peer Recruiters" are trying to encourage
students to persist. "Hang on; it's worth
it. Just a little bit moref and you've got
upward mobility for the rest of your life,"
said Ross.
Those interested are invited to call the
Division of Graduate Studies at 294-2448
for information.
USA Using Proxies in El Salvador
~,"°"'_,,_..,.....,",-•"c-~•-•-~
By Mike Rhodes
In a speech sponsored by the Latin
American Support Committee, Arnaldo
Ramos, U.S. representative of the DemoCr.iltic.Rev~utionary Front,.said solidarity
activists must be prepared for greater and
more direct intervention in El Salvador.
Ramos said,. "The U.S. direct use of
military force in the region although not
imminnent is inevitable, given the present
politics and current strategy of the Reagan administration."
Ramos warned the audience against
accepting any analysis which suggest that
the U.S., because of internal opposition,
NATO alliances or any other obstacle,
will not become more directly involved in
the war in El Salvador."
Ramos stated the more the U.S.
b~comes involved with Central America,
the more its repuatation will be damaged.
At this •time, the government is more
likely to intervene.
"It's going to be the worst mistake they
can make", added Ramos, "Some people
told them they were making the worst
mistake in Southeast Asia, but they did it.
So my point.is very simple: Take it from
us, they will do it if you, the people of this
country, let them. That's the challenge.
They can be stopped."
Ramos 'spoke to a crowd of around 100
persons for nearly one hour, updating
them on the diplomatic and military situation in El Salvador and what solidarity
activists can do here to help.

Tutorial Center May Clos'e
By Larry Banales
Students may suffer the consequences
of Tutorial Services closing, unless funds
are allocated from other sources to
resume a regular schedule for the remainder of the Spring semester at CSUF.
Because of an Associated Students
budget err or , money was not available
when Tutorial Services Coordinator
Manuel Olgin requested an increase earlier this year.
Olgin requested $10,000 from the AS,
as part of a standard procedure for receiving funds. He had been told by the AS that
there was $38,000 remaining, as of December, 1982. Usually, funding for tutor
wages is sought the preceeding year, and
additional funds are requested in the
Spring. If allocated, the increase would
pay for a month of tutoring, providing
services until May.
Earlier reports indicating Tutorial Services over-spent their budget were not
accurate, because additional funds are
diverted from a reserve budget, if money
is needed.
· But the crisis is not who is to blame for
all the confusion, but who is going to lose
in the end, and everybody knows that
students usually end-up with the short
end of the stick.
This is not fair when you consider students pay two-thirds of tutor wages, while
Academic Affairs p.rovides onethird. "I don't think ,that's fair at_ all,"
remarked Olgin.
Olgin believes tutor wages should be
divided among students, Academic
Affairs and Instructionally Related Actiwities. Presently, IRA pays nothing for tutorial services, but the resource will be
approached for 1983-84 funding.
"There is nothing more important
than the Tutorial Center," said
Manuel Olgin.
·- ........ ..... ..... ........ ·· ··--• ................. . ..... . .... . .... ..... . . . ....... ... . ............. _..

,,.
Tutorial Services is probably one of the
most beneficial programs on campus.
Figures indicate more students use some
type of tutorial service, more programs
and departments refer students and, as a
result, more money is expended. Over
2000 tutors and tutees utilize the services.
·
"We are priority over everybody for
funding. Nothing is more important than
Tutorial Services," said Olgin.
Olgin stated many students have volunteered their services, but he ." doesn't
want to turn them off when priorities (we)
are at the bottom ring" for funding. "Our
priority is to help students graduate," he
said.
Although Olgin would not set a specific
date as to the closure, he "is hopeful that
lobbying will be fruitful."
Beginning last week, Tutorial Services
shortened their services to Monday
through Thursday, and group tutor
groups are now being used, as opposed to
the one-to-one tutoring of the past. Service hours were also reduced to 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. at the beginning of the
semester.
Students can help by participating in a
meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 8
at 3:00 p.m. in the College Union, room
310. The Tutorial Center needs your
support.

Letters to La Voz
More Chicanos needed in agriculture
In the state of California, the greatest
percentage of the agricultural labor force
is made up of Hispanics, mainly people of
Mexican-American descent. This has
been a historic fact for many years in the
agriculture industry. The sad part of all
this is that the labor force which keeps the
crops growing involves a large number of
these people. A very small percentage, if
not very few individuals, are actually
involved in the managerial, decision making and scientific aspects in the vast field
of the agricultural sciences.
Unfortunately, there are not enough
people of Hispanic descent represented
in this field to have a significant influence
in all the aspects just mentioned. There
are also some barriers that keep young
people of this category from pursuing an
interest in the agricultural sciences. The
principal barrier is that an association is
made between a career in agriculture and
the hard labor of farmwork experienced
by himself and his fami~. Hign school
counselors and college recruitment officers do not emphasize the importance of
the agriculture sciences to those students
with a farmworker family background.
With this idea in mind, the California
Society of Bilingual Agriculturists, an
organization of professional, bilingual-bicultural scientists, firmly supports the.enrollment of more Hispanic students into
higher education in the many aspects of
the agicultural sciences, along with other
projects of equal importance to those

Graduate Programs Lack Minorities
By Bobby Rodriquez
A striking underrepresentation of
minority students has prompted the
CSUF Division of Graduate Studies and
the Office of Student Affirmative Action
to begin actively recruiting qualified
minority candidates.
In a statement taken from "The Chancellor Comments", a newsletter, Chancellor Ann Reynolds said the CSU system
is "committed to do all in its power to
attract and retain, prepare and graduate
appropriate numbers of minorities pres-
According to a graduate study survey,
Blacks and Hispanics make up seven percent and 22 percent, respectively, of California's population, yet only three percent
of Blacks and seven percent of Hispanics
are enrolled in a graduate program.
Dr. David Ross, Assistant Dean, Graduate Division, who along with D.r. Robert
D. Segura, Assistant Vice President of
Academic Affairs/Special Projects, oversees the recruitment project, commented
on the problem.
"Hispanics, in particular, and Blacks
are woefully underrepresented in graduate studies and degrees granted, as far as
we're concerned. The recent census
shows that we have better than 30 percent Hispanic and 13 percent Black in
Fresno County. We're talking about over
30 percent of the minorities, and we certainly don't have that in graduate school."
ently underrepresented in our enrollments." She added, "We must embark on
a major plan to facilitate entry, as well as
graduation of Hispanics and other minority students."
Earl Young, a Master's candidate in
mass communication, and Shannon
Quinn, a graduate student in counseling,
have been given the task of recruiting
qualified students. The pair is known as
graduate "Peer Recruiters."
"If we cai1 have an impact on students
to maintain or increase minority enrollment in graduate studies, I think we've
done a hell of a lot---we offer a service,
humble and personal," he said.
Young also extends an open invitation
to anyone interested in the graduate progran:i. "We want students, not just minority students, to feel welcome in the graduate office; they are needed."
That service includes finding out what
the student's needs are, explaining the
master's degree program and Graduate
Records Exam, and indicating the people
and places to contact.
The recent effort to recruit minorities
into the CSUF graduate program is a unique one. According to Young, universities generally have full-time professionals
as graduate recruiters. "What we're doing
is unique. It's put together for students,
by students; we're not professionals."
Dr. Segura added that the service is
designed to bridge the gap between the
students and the graduate office. The
office links the student with the academic
area of his or her choice.
The basic admission requirements for
graduate school are a baccalauareate
degree from an accredited undergraduate
ir.stitution and a 2.5 grade point average
on a scale of 4.0 in the last 60 units of
undergraduate study.
Young stresses the need for Blacks and

do.
Segura commented on the uniqueness
of the program. "This has never been
done before at CSUF; it's the first of its
kind." Segura noted that the University of
California system has long had a graduate
recruitment program, primarily in the
doctorate program.
The extra one or two years in school
can be an inhibiting factor to students and
their willingness to continue. Ross and the
"Peer Recruiters" are trying to encourage
students to persist. "Hang on; it's worth
it. Just a little bit moref and you've got
upward mobility for the rest of your life,"
said Ross.
Those interested are invited to call the
Division of Graduate Studies at 294-2448
for information.
USA Using Proxies in El Salvador
~,"°"'_,,_..,.....,",-•"c-~•-•-~
By Mike Rhodes
In a speech sponsored by the Latin
American Support Committee, Arnaldo
Ramos, U.S. representative of the DemoCr.iltic.Rev~utionary Front,.said solidarity
activists must be prepared for greater and
more direct intervention in El Salvador.
Ramos said,. "The U.S. direct use of
military force in the region although not
imminnent is inevitable, given the present
politics and current strategy of the Reagan administration."
Ramos warned the audience against
accepting any analysis which suggest that
the U.S., because of internal opposition,
NATO alliances or any other obstacle,
will not become more directly involved in
the war in El Salvador."
Ramos stated the more the U.S.
b~comes involved with Central America,
the more its repuatation will be damaged.
At this •time, the government is more
likely to intervene.
"It's going to be the worst mistake they
can make", added Ramos, "Some people
told them they were making the worst
mistake in Southeast Asia, but they did it.
So my point.is very simple: Take it from
us, they will do it if you, the people of this
country, let them. That's the challenge.
They can be stopped."
Ramos 'spoke to a crowd of around 100
persons for nearly one hour, updating
them on the diplomatic and military situation in El Salvador and what solidarity
activists can do here to help.

Tutorial Center May Clos'e
By Larry Banales
Students may suffer the consequences
of Tutorial Services closing, unless funds
are allocated from other sources to
resume a regular schedule for the remainder of the Spring semester at CSUF.
Because of an Associated Students
budget err or , money was not available
when Tutorial Services Coordinator
Manuel Olgin requested an increase earlier this year.
Olgin requested $10,000 from the AS,
as part of a standard procedure for receiving funds. He had been told by the AS that
there was $38,000 remaining, as of December, 1982. Usually, funding for tutor
wages is sought the preceeding year, and
additional funds are requested in the
Spring. If allocated, the increase would
pay for a month of tutoring, providing
services until May.
Earlier reports indicating Tutorial Services over-spent their budget were not
accurate, because additional funds are
diverted from a reserve budget, if money
is needed.
· But the crisis is not who is to blame for
all the confusion, but who is going to lose
in the end, and everybody knows that
students usually end-up with the short
end of the stick.
This is not fair when you consider students pay two-thirds of tutor wages, while
Academic Affairs p.rovides onethird. "I don't think ,that's fair at_ all,"
remarked Olgin.
Olgin believes tutor wages should be
divided among students, Academic
Affairs and Instructionally Related Actiwities. Presently, IRA pays nothing for tutorial services, but the resource will be
approached for 1983-84 funding.
"There is nothing more important
than the Tutorial Center," said
Manuel Olgin.

Tutorial Services is probably one of the
most beneficial programs on campus.
Figures indicate more students use some
type of tutorial service, more programs
and departments refer students and, as a
result, more money is expended. Over
2000 tutors and tutees utilize the services.
·
"We are priority over everybody for
funding. Nothing is more important than
Tutorial Services," said Olgin.
Olgin stated many students have volunteered their services, but he ." doesn't
want to turn them off when priorities (we)
are at the bottom ring" for funding. "Our
priority is to help students graduate," he
said.
Although Olgin would not set a specific
date as to the closure, he "is hopeful that
lobbying will be fruitful."
Beginning last week, Tutorial Services
shortened their services to Monday
through Thursday, and group tutor
groups are now being used, as opposed to
the one-to-one tutoring of the past. Service hours were also reduced to 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. at the beginning of the
semester.
Students can help by participating in a
meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 8
at 3:00 p.m. in the College Union, room
310. The Tutorial Center needs your
support.

Letters to La Voz
More Chicanos needed in agriculture
In the state of California, the greatest
percentage of the agricultural labor force
is made up of Hispanics, mainly people of
Mexican-American descent. This has
been a historic fact for many years in the
agriculture industry. The sad part of all
this is that the labor force which keeps the
crops growing involves a large number of
these people. A very small percentage, if
not very few individuals, are actually
involved in the managerial, decision making and scientific aspects in the vast field
of the agricultural sciences.
Unfortunately, there are not enough
people of Hispanic descent represented
in this field to have a significant influence
in all the aspects just mentioned. There
are also some barriers that keep young
people of this category from pursuing an
interest in the agricultural sciences. The
principal barrier is that an association is
made between a career in agriculture and
the hard labor of farmwork experienced
by himself and his fami~. Hign school
counselors and college recruitment officers do not emphasize the importance of
the agriculture sciences to those students
with a farmworker family background.
With this idea in mind, the California
Society of Bilingual Agriculturists, an
organization of professional, bilingual-bicultural scientists, firmly supports the.enrollment of more Hispanic students into
higher education in the many aspects of
the agicultural sciences, along with other
projects of equal importance to those

Graduate Programs Lack Minorities
By Bobby Rodriquez
A striking underrepresentation of
minority students has prompted the
CSUF Division of Graduate Studies and
the Office of Student Affirmative Action
to begin actively recruiting qualified
minority candidates.
In a statement taken from "The Chancellor Comments", a newsletter, Chancellor Ann Reynolds said the CSU system
is "committed to do all in its power to
attract and retain, prepare and graduate
appropriate numbers of minorities pres-
According to a graduate study survey,
Blacks and Hispanics make up seven percent and 22 percent, respectively, of California's population, yet only three percent
of Blacks and seven percent of Hispanics
are enrolled in a graduate program.
Dr. David Ross, Assistant Dean, Graduate Division, who along with D.r. Robert
D. Segura, Assistant Vice President of
Academic Affairs/Special Projects, oversees the recruitment project, commented
on the problem.
"Hispanics, in particular, and Blacks
are woefully underrepresented in graduate studies and degrees granted, as far as
we're concerned. The recent census
shows that we have better than 30 percent Hispanic and 13 percent Black in
Fresno County. We're talking about over
30 percent of the minorities, and we certainly don't have that in graduate school."
ently underrepresented in our enrollments." She added, "We must embark on
a major plan to facilitate entry, as well as
graduation of Hispanics and other minority students."
Earl Young, a Master's candidate in
mass communication, and Shannon
Quinn, a graduate student in counseling,
have been given the task of recruiting
qualified students. The pair is known as
graduate "Peer Recruiters."
"If we cai1 have an impact on students
to maintain or increase minority enrollment in graduate studies, I think we've
done a hell of a lot---we offer a service,
humble and personal," he said.
Young also extends an open invitation
to anyone interested in the graduate progran:i. "We want students, not just minority students, to feel welcome in the graduate office; they are needed."
That service includes finding out what
the student's needs are, explaining the
master's degree program and Graduate
Records Exam, and indicating the people
and places to contact.
The recent effort to recruit minorities
into the CSUF graduate program is a unique one. According to Young, universities generally have full-time professionals
as graduate recruiters. "What we're doing
is unique. It's put together for students,
by students; we're not professionals."
Dr. Segura added that the service is
designed to bridge the gap between the
students and the graduate office. The
office links the student with the academic
area of his or her choice.
The basic admission requirements for
graduate school are a baccalauareate
degree from an accredited undergraduate
ir.stitution and a 2.5 grade point average
on a scale of 4.0 in the last 60 units of
undergraduate study.
Young stresses the need for Blacks and

do.
Segura commented on the uniqueness
of the program. "This has never been
done before at CSUF; it's the first of its
kind." Segura noted that the University of
California system has long had a graduate
recruitment program, primarily in the
doctorate program.
The extra one or two years in school
can be an inhibiting factor to students and
their willingness to continue. Ross and the
"Peer Recruiters" are trying to encourage
students to persist. "Hang on; it's worth
it. Just a little bit moref and you've got
upward mobility for the rest of your life,"
said Ross.
Those interested are invited to call the
Division of Graduate Studies at 294-2448
for information.
USA Using Proxies in El Salvador
~,"°"'_,,_..,.....,",-•"c-~•-•-~
By Mike Rhodes
In a speech sponsored by the Latin
American Support Committee, Arnaldo
Ramos, U.S. representative of the DemoCr.iltic.Rev~utionary Front,.said solidarity
activists must be prepared for greater and
more direct intervention in El Salvador.
Ramos said,. "The U.S. direct use of
military force in the region although not
imminnent is inevitable, given the present
politics and current strategy of the Reagan administration."
Ramos warned the audience against
accepting any analysis which suggest that
the U.S., because of internal opposition,
NATO alliances or any other obstacle,
will not become more directly involved in
the war in El Salvador."
Ramos stated the more the U.S.
b~comes involved with Central America,
the more its repuatation will be damaged.
At this •time, the government is more
likely to intervene.
"It's going to be the worst mistake they
can make", added Ramos, "Some people
told them they were making the worst
mistake in Southeast Asia, but they did it.
So my point.is very simple: Take it from
us, they will do it if you, the people of this
country, let them. That's the challenge.
They can be stopped."
Ramos 'spoke to a crowd of around 100
persons for nearly one hour, updating
them on the diplomatic and military situation in El Salvador and what solidarity
activists can do here to help.

Tutorial Center May Clos'e
By Larry Banales
Students may suffer the consequences
of Tutorial Services closing, unless funds
are allocated from other sources to
resume a regular schedule for the remainder of the Spring semester at CSUF.
Because of an Associated Students
budget err or , money was not available
when Tutorial Services Coordinator
Manuel Olgin requested an increase earlier this year.
Olgin requested $10,000 from the AS,
as part of a standard procedure for receiving funds. He had been told by the AS that
there was $38,000 remaining, as of December, 1982. Usually, funding for tutor
wages is sought the preceeding year, and
additional funds are requested in the
Spring. If allocated, the increase would
pay for a month of tutoring, providing
services until May.
Earlier reports indicating Tutorial Services over-spent their budget were not
accurate, because additional funds are
diverted from a reserve budget, if money
is needed.
· But the crisis is not who is to blame for
all the confusion, but who is going to lose
in the end, and everybody knows that
students usually end-up with the short
end of the stick.
This is not fair when you consider students pay two-thirds of tutor wages, while
Academic Affairs p.rovides onethird. "I don't think ,that's fair at_ all,"
remarked Olgin.
Olgin believes tutor wages should be
divided among students, Academic
Affairs and Instructionally Related Actiwities. Presently, IRA pays nothing for tutorial services, but the resource will be
approached for 1983-84 funding.
"There is nothing more important
than the Tutorial Center," said
Manuel Olgin.

Tutorial Services is probably one of the
most beneficial programs on campus.
Figures indicate more students use some
type of tutorial service, more programs
and departments refer students and, as a
result, more money is expended. Over
2000 tutors and tutees utilize the services.
·
"We are priority over everybody for
funding. Nothing is more important than
Tutorial Services," said Olgin.
Olgin stated many students have volunteered their services, but he ." doesn't
want to turn them off when priorities (we)
are at the bottom ring" for funding. "Our
priority is to help students graduate," he
said.
Although Olgin would not set a specific
date as to the closure, he "is hopeful that
lobbying will be fruitful."
Beginning last week, Tutorial Services
shortened their services to Monday
through Thursday, and group tutor
groups are now being used, as opposed to
the one-to-one tutoring of the past. Service hours were also reduced to 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. at the beginning of the
semester.
Students can help by participating in a
meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 8
at 3:00 p.m. in the College Union, room
310. The Tutorial Center needs your
support.

Letters to La Voz
More Chicanos needed in agriculture
In the state of California, the greatest
percentage of the agricultural labor force
is made up of Hispanics, mainly people of
Mexican-American descent. This has
been a historic fact for many years in the
agriculture industry. The sad part of all
this is that the labor force which keeps the
crops growing involves a large number of
these people. A very small percentage, if
not very few individuals, are actually
involved in the managerial, decision making and scientific aspects in the vast field
of the agricultural sciences.
Unfortunately, there are not enough
people of Hispanic descent represented
in this field to have a significant influence
in all the aspects just mentioned. There
are also some barriers that keep young
people of this category from pursuing an
interest in the agricultural sciences. The
principal barrier is that an association is
made between a career in agriculture and
the hard labor of farmwork experienced
by himself and his fami~. Hign school
counselors and college recruitment officers do not emphasize the importance of
the agriculture sciences to those students
with a farmworker family background.
With this idea in mind, the California
Society of Bilingual Agriculturists, an
organization of professional, bilingual-bicultural scientists, firmly supports the.enrollment of more Hispanic students into
higher education in the many aspects of
the agicultural sciences, along with other
projects of equal importance to those

Graduate Programs Lack Minorities
By Bobby Rodriquez
A striking underrepresentation of
minority students has prompted the
CSUF Division of Graduate Studies and
the Office of Student Affirmative Action
to begin actively recruiting qualified
minority candidates.
In a statement taken from "The Chancellor Comments", a newsletter, Chancellor Ann Reynolds said the CSU system
is "committed to do all in its power to
attract and retain, prepare and graduate
appropriate numbers of minorities pres-
According to a graduate study survey,
Blacks and Hispanics make up seven percent and 22 percent, respectively, of California's population, yet only three percent
of Blacks and seven percent of Hispanics
are enrolled in a graduate program.
Dr. David Ross, Assistant Dean, Graduate Division, who along with D.r. Robert
D. Segura, Assistant Vice President of
Academic Affairs/Special Projects, oversees the recruitment project, commented
on the problem.
"Hispanics, in particular, and Blacks
are woefully underrepresented in graduate studies and degrees granted, as far as
we're concerned. The recent census
shows that we have better than 30 percent Hispanic and 13 percent Black in
Fresno County. We're talking about over
30 percent of the minorities, and we certainly don't have that in graduate school."
ently underrepresented in our enrollments." She added, "We must embark on
a major plan to facilitate entry, as well as
graduation of Hispanics and other minority students."
Earl Young, a Master's candidate in
mass communication, and Shannon
Quinn, a graduate student in counseling,
have been given the task of recruiting
qualified students. The pair is known as
graduate "Peer Recruiters."
"If we cai1 have an impact on students
to maintain or increase minority enrollment in graduate studies, I think we've
done a hell of a lot---we offer a service,
humble and personal," he said.
Young also extends an open invitation
to anyone interested in the graduate progran:i. "We want students, not just minority students, to feel welcome in the graduate office; they are needed."
That service includes finding out what
the student's needs are, explaining the
master's degree program and Graduate
Records Exam, and indicating the people
and places to contact.
The recent effort to recruit minorities
into the CSUF graduate program is a unique one. According to Young, universities generally have full-time professionals
as graduate recruiters. "What we're doing
is unique. It's put together for students,
by students; we're not professionals."
Dr. Segura added that the service is
designed to bridge the gap between the
students and the graduate office. The
office links the student with the academic
area of his or her choice.
The basic admission requirements for
graduate school are a baccalauareate
degree from an accredited undergraduate
ir.stitution and a 2.5 grade point average
on a scale of 4.0 in the last 60 units of
undergraduate study.
Young stresses the need for Blacks and

do.
Segura commented on the uniqueness
of the program. "This has never been
done before at CSUF; it's the first of its
kind." Segura noted that the University of
California system has long had a graduate
recruitment program, primarily in the
doctorate program.
The extra one or two years in school
can be an inhibiting factor to students and
their willingness to continue. Ross and the
"Peer Recruiters" are trying to encourage
students to persist. "Hang on; it's worth
it. Just a little bit moref and you've got
upward mobility for the rest of your life,"
said Ross.
Those interested are invited to call the
Division of Graduate Studies at 294-2448
for information.
USA Using Proxies in El Salvador
~,"°"'_,,_..,.....,",-•"c-~•-•-~
By Mike Rhodes
In a speech sponsored by the Latin
American Support Committee, Arnaldo
Ramos, U.S. representative of the DemoCr.iltic.Rev~utionary Front,.said solidarity
activists must be prepared for greater and
more direct intervention in El Salvador.
Ramos said,. "The U.S. direct use of
military force in the region although not
imminnent is inevitable, given the present
politics and current strategy of the Reagan administration."
Ramos warned the audience against
accepting any analysis which suggest that
the U.S., because of internal opposition,
NATO alliances or any other obstacle,
will not become more directly involved in
the war in El Salvador."
Ramos stated the more the U.S.
b~comes involved with Central America,
the more its repuatation will be damaged.
At this •time, the government is more
likely to intervene.
"It's going to be the worst mistake they
can make", added Ramos, "Some people
told them they were making the worst
mistake in Southeast Asia, but they did it.
So my point.is very simple: Take it from
us, they will do it if you, the people of this
country, let them. That's the challenge.
They can be stopped."
Ramos 'spoke to a crowd of around 100
persons for nearly one hour, updating
them on the diplomatic and military situation in El Salvador and what solidarity
activists can do here to help.

Tutorial Center May Clos'e
By Larry Banales
Students may suffer the consequences
of Tutorial Services closing, unless funds
are allocated from other sources to
resume a regular schedule for the remainder of the Spring semester at CSUF.
Because of an Associated Students
budget err or , money was not available
when Tutorial Services Coordinator
Manuel Olgin requested an increase earlier this year.
Olgin requested $10,000 from the AS,
as part of a standard procedure for receiving funds. He had been told by the AS that
there was $38,000 remaining, as of December, 1982. Usually, funding for tutor
wages is sought the preceeding year, and
additional funds are requested in the
Spring. If allocated, the increase would
pay for a month of tutoring, providing
services until May.
Earlier reports indicating Tutorial Services over-spent their budget were not
accurate, because additional funds are
diverted from a reserve budget, if money
is needed.
· But the crisis is not who is to blame for
all the confusion, but who is going to lose
in the end, and everybody knows that
students usually end-up with the short
end of the stick.
This is not fair when you consider students pay two-thirds of tutor wages, while
Academic Affairs p.rovides onethird. "I don't think ,that's fair at_ all,"
remarked Olgin.
Olgin believes tutor wages should be
divided among students, Academic
Affairs and Instructionally Related Actiwities. Presently, IRA pays nothing for tutorial services, but the resource will be
approached for 1983-84 funding.
"There is nothing more important
than the Tutorial Center," said
Manuel Olgin.

Tutorial Services is probably one of the
most beneficial programs on campus.
Figures indicate more students use some
type of tutorial service, more programs
and departments refer students and, as a
result, more money is expended. Over
2000 tutors and tutees utilize the services.
·
"We are priority over everybody for
funding. Nothing is more important than
Tutorial Services," said Olgin.
Olgin stated many students have volunteered their services, but he ." doesn't
want to turn them off when priorities (we)
are at the bottom ring" for funding. "Our
priority is to help students graduate," he
said.
Although Olgin would not set a specific
date as to the closure, he "is hopeful that
lobbying will be fruitful."
Beginning last week, Tutorial Services
shortened their services to Monday
through Thursday, and group tutor
groups are now being used, as opposed to
the one-to-one tutoring of the past. Service hours were also reduced to 9:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. at the beginning of the
semester.
Students can help by participating in a
meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 8
at 3:00 p.m. in the College Union, room
310. The Tutorial Center needs your
support.
