Dear Fellow Students:

last year. CSUN has increased our services, whilelowering the amount of compensation to our directors. During
the Fall 1986 Semester,
CSUN paid out less money
in stipends and fee waivers
than any other year in recent
history. I stand firmly behind
this policy of lower
remuneration for CSUN personnel. The reward for being
in student goverment should
be the experience, not the
paycheck. 1 have often said
that if someone is paying
their bills with CSUN
stipends, then they are making too much money.

should receive some kind of
renumeration for their
dedication.
CSUN must continue to
work together to ensure that
the programs and services
we offer students are the very
best. Moreover, we must
forever be searching for better and more complete ways
to serve those areas of the
University that are often
neglected.
I am committed to achieving these ideals, and 1 urge
all of you to help me make
them a reality.

All of the statistics still

UNLV is under constant
attack for low player graduation rates. Yet. all six seniors
are scheduled to graduate

criticism is undeserved.
"Tarkanian gives them an
oppurtunity, but the effort
has to start with the player,"
Wade said.
After his graduation with a
degree in Hotel Administration, Wade would like to go
