Intramural sports to New group to lobby for CSU interests receive more A.S. funding

$4 fee goes toward club sports By Jamie Visger DAILY STAFF WRITER

An agreement drafted and signed by San Jose State University’s Associated Students in December will create a pool of funds to help support intramural and club-sports teams.

Certain circumstances prevent all the de tails of the situation from being released. De Alba is an employee of the univelsity arid because the charges are not criminal the matte’ is being dealt with internally.

strongly feel that A.S. owes some explanation to the student body about what has happened to the internal structure of our government.

There are details of this situation that cause me concern, and which I would like explained. First, what assurance does the student body have that action is not being taken against De Alba in an effort to depose what some may view as a vestige of a previous admin istration’? And if that is not the case, how serious was the alleged infraction, and will the student body be told the outcome of the investigation?

These are questions 1 think need to be LYDIA SARRAIL LE answered in order that transparency of gov-

ernment (which the current administration has always touted) be upheld.

At the same time, I do recognize that AS’s hands are tied, so to speak. They cannot break the law by

I I )1TORIAL

releasing details from the internal investigation. My hope is that A.S. can find the correct way to

handle this situation. It’s all too easy to make moan tains out of molehills, especially when you don’t

have all the facts. It seems to me that given the grav ity of the fact that a man’s career hangs in the bal-ance, it would behoove A.S. to choose their words carefully and make sure that nothing they say can be misconstrued.

I have a great deal of faith in the students who sit on the A.S. board of directors. I know them and have seen the massive amount of responsibility they take on every day. I also know it can be tempting to tell the truth -slant,- as the Emily Dickenson poem says.

The conclusion of this stoty will be telling, I think.

Students squeezed by state and federal governments

Students who attend college do so to invest in then future. At San Jose State University. students devote four or more years to achieve a degree that theym a good job - - hope will give the all the while shelling out thousands of dollars.

Society has decided that college is so impottant that it will assist students in paying for the invest-ment.

lillt the assistance is not free -- somebody still has to pay lot it with money that is slowly. disappearing from state and federal collets ....,n ’exult. tuition for Sk11.1 has steadily increased.

According to 5,I51 ’s Web site, tuition could top the $2.200 [wok ss iiiotif More funding from the state government.

Students might be a ble survive the increases so long as they have access to financial aid. Unfoitunately. the fedetal government has taken one avenue of aid :la as f torn those who need it the most.

list week, both houses of Congress slashed fund Hi; l0 fedetal loans in a bill that was later signed by President George W. Bush. The slashes include an in crease in interest rates, so students paying back the loans will be charged more and placed furthet into debt.

Members of Congress were deeply divided, the

Ii :;171-:,R 1111;. I DITOR

7:etiale needed Vice President Dick Cheney to bleak a 50-50 tic and the House of Reptesentatives maigin was two votes with a 216-214 decision.

Tuition hikes, combined with federal cuts, will now put the pinch on students from both ends. Tuition is going up which will increase the demand for finan cial aid, which in turn won’t be there for some stii dents.

College is a place for higher learning, training the leaders of tomorrow to take on the world. But notes erybody has the resources to go.

So the respective governments have told lower in come students who cannot afford nearly $5,000 per semester for SJSC to either forget college, go to a community college or go into further debt.

Even though community colleges are good insti tutions, sonic jobs require tour -year degrees, or Men

graduate degrees. which ate not offered by the two year schools.

So either society will become less educated ot professionals will have to put in more houts to pay off the student loans they owe.

We ask the government not to forget us. All the goals the government set for an educated public will be wasted if we make it too expensive to go to col lege.

Prisons get too much of’ the state’s budget Dear editot,

I know that more money goes to pistil’s than to schools, and this has bothered rue lot quite sonic time. I think prisoners get way too much and I think students get way too little, tinder the circumstances.

For instance, why is it that the state is spending money to furnish computer labs in prisons. when so many students cannot even afford a computer for themselves?

Even more appalling. I read that California spent $1 billion on prisoner’s health care last year. There are 110,000 students in the CSU system. If we took the $1 billion spent on criminals and distributed it equally to all CSI.’ students. each CSI student would receive toughly 52..100 pet year I’m wetly sure that

stminI et, \ et most oh out tuition lot a yeat Does this bother you as ninch as it bothers me? I still think out fee increases are a small part of the big picture here in California. but the fact that prisoners are making out like telative bandits I pun intended ) is something that I think could warrant protesting.

I would support any legislation that would take money out of places that don’t need it or deserse it, and would put that money into places that do de serve it, like our schools.

By Sophia seremetis DAllYSMORWItirt-tt

After a slow start to the first half, the San Jose State University women’s basketball team was nevei able to regain its footing against the University of Hawaii.

Saturday’s "6 61 loss at the Event (*enter to the Rainbow Wahine t13", 45i makes the Spartans 10-9 overall and 5-3 in Western Athletic Conference play.

SJSU senior Anetero Uiagalelei, who scored II points in the night, said the pace dictated the game, and though the Spartans tried to ovet come the seven point deficit at halftime, they couldn’t close the gap.

’We didn’t come out with any intensitv and they came out ready to go," Uiagalelei said. "We tried to pick it up, but it’s kind of hard playing catch up the whole game."

director Susita Gonzalez said in a phone interview that she didn’t think the association’s restrictions presented a problem. She said po litical action committees often break ties with a party and forfeit any future alliance.

’Higher education is a nonpar-tisan issue that’s why (students) need to be very careful when they)( engage in ( political action commit tees). "Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez said that she iespects the students’ efforts and "applauds them for wanting to step up," but warns that they should be careful in how they get involved. The dif ficulty, she said, would be balanc ing the voice of the students with the mission of the organization.

Balderas said she reported her intention to iecruit members and solicit funding to the A.S. Board of Directors. She said she hoped Golden State Action would be ac tive in the upcoming 2006 elec-tions.

Baldetas said she would ask for funding from people who currently

donate to SJSU and local politi� cians but would not ask for state funding.

Gonzalez said that the California State Student Association uses stu dent fees for funding, paid in mem-bership dues by each CSUA ssociated Students organization Rules that en-sure the association presents all sides of an issue make sense, Gonzalez said, because each student contrib-utes to the association.

Political action committees, on the other hand, tend to be more partisan and single issue oliented and to represent all the students when choosing an issue will be a challenge for a political action committee, Gonzalez said.

Committee members would consist of SJSt students and alum ni who wish to be more involved in poltical issues that affect them. Hal deras said.

"Students should have more in fluence in the dirty world of poli-tics, "said Andrew Schwartz, a se nior in Political Science lie said he was skeptical about how 3 stu dent -run committee would oper ate in order to fairly represent the
