The deadline for contributions to the University Information Bulletin is Thursday at noon. The bulletin will be published each Monday and as needed during the week. Submissions should be hand-carried to 9528 Etiwanda, FAXed to x4937, e-mailed to pubinfo@exec.csun.edu, or sent through campus mail to mail code 8242. Please type all items double spaced, or supply a file on disk. Direct UIB inquiries to x2130.
In the absence of alternatives, projects in the pipeline from earlier bond acts will be halted.
Projects waiting to enter the pipeline-desperately needed repairs, renovations, and
technological upgrades of existing classrooms, libraries, and laboratories will be further
delayed, guaranteeing that these facilities will continue to become less useful and less safe.
The cost per person per year has been estimated at $6.40-or less than the price of a movie
ticket. Voters must weigh the consequences of increasing the state's bond indebtedness
against the physical decline of its public education system. Voters approving this Bond Act will
be making an investment in the state's future.
The opposition, as stated in its ballot argument, is based on the following:
1. A college education is not a right. Students who have the determination and qualifications
to attend college should pay the entire cost themselves. If the $975 million earmarked for
colleges is truly needed, then those who use the facilities should pay for them.
2. Over half of California's bloated $57 billion budget already goes to schools. There should be
plenty of money in each school district's regular budget to pay for needed projects and
maintenance.
3. We can't afford Prop. 203, which will raise taxes and government spending.
