In a recent memorandum to your President, notification was given of the de-pletion of tutoring funds for this semester. This depletion is attributed to a 300% growth rate. Because the Tutorial Program has proved to be an ef-fective service in providing students with individualized assistance so des-perately needed, we again would like to submit a request for the allocation of CSUN funds to the Tutorial Program. Thank you for your immediate consideration of the following proposal. PROPOSAL: That CSUN contribute $2000.00 (estimated needs to meet payroll demands for tutoring until May 14, 1976) to the Learning Resource Center for the purpose of providing free tutoring to students who are not in special programs.
