President 0shinski The Committee on Political Education (COPE) will hold its second meeting on October 20 at 1:30. He discussed the fact Governor List had requested another 2.5% cut in the budgets. The regents had refused to make any further cuts until the school district had taken a cut. On Friday, October 15 the school district took a $1.8 million cut, so the regents are now trying to come up with a plan. Because CSUN does not know what the figure for the cut CSUN will take is yet, the Appropriations Board has implemented a freeze on any additional unnecessary spending until CSUN knows for certain what the cut for the department will be.
