Associated Students Inc. of California State University, Fresno opened
its doors in 1975. Today, ASI provides a means for responsible and effective
participation in the governance of the campus. It serves as an official
voice through which students may express their opinions and assists in the
protection of the rights and interests of the individual student and the
student body.
The Associated Students Senate consists of the three executive officers
student body president, legislative vice president, and administrative vice
president and 15 senators. There is one senator for each of the eight schools,
one for undeclared majors, one for the Division of Graduate Studies, and
five at-larges. ASI is a nonprofit corporation chartered by the trustees
of The California State University.
As a student, you are automatically a member of ASI. Your ASI fees of $16
per semester support many programs, such as the campus newspapers, University
Lecture Series, a child care center, CSUF Overview, recreation and intramural
sports activities, and a variety of multicultural festivals and programs.
Campus Newspapers. The Daily Collegian, La Voz de Aztlan, Uhuru Na Umoja,
and Hye Sharzhoom are perhaps the most important sources of campus
news for the university. They publish a variety of information ranging from
news to club announcements to cultural awareness. These campus newspapers
can also give students the journalism experience.
The Campus Children's Center. The center serves those students with
the greatest need, i.e., students who must have this service to continue
their education. Consequently, enrollments are established on the basis
of priorities. The center accepts children from ages six months to six years.
For information, call 278-2652.
Faculty/Student Committees. Involvement in a faculty/student committee
can give you practical experience and enhance your writing, speaking, reasoning,
persuasion, and group interaction skills. Committees are a means of empowering
students by giving them the direct responsibility of making decisions and
implementing ideas that affect the entire campus community. Pick up a committee
application in the ASI Office.

entitled to participate in the annual budget process held in the spring
semester. ASI's budget of more than $300,000 is distributed to clubs, organizations,
