Trustees enact remedial plan

Staff Writer
A remedial education policy
that will help prepare incoming
freshmen for university-level
course work was approved by the
CSU Board of Trustees. Under
this policy remedial classes will
be phased out over an 11-year
period. By the year 2007, only 10
percent of the entering freshmen
will require these remedial
classes.
Adopted after approximately
two years of study and numerous
meetings and hearings, this policy
sets a series of timeliness beginning in the year 2001 that seek to

will be reduced by 50 percent and
by 2007, only 10 percent of enteringfreshmenwill be allowed to

Typical of one of the sixty-one students

Oceanside High School. Instead of playing volleyball, his favorite sport, he was
giving an informational speech, in Jennifer Kissick's speech communication class,
on the intricacies and strategies of the
sport. According to Rasmussen, UB has
kept him on the right scholastic track by
continually providing him with opportunities to interact with staff, instructors, and
students who share his of dream of overcoming many obstacles and graduating
from college.
Though both parents work and have
other children who need their time, they
still manage to support Rasmussen in his
quest to get through college.
Said Rasmussen, "UB has been one of
the most positive forces in my life." A life
in the ministry, helping others, is one of
his goals, after achieving his dream of
graduating.

Northern California, would have enjoyed

Have you ever wondered what you will
do with the knowledge you are gaining
here at CSUSM? CSUSM alumni Rick
Hernandez and Aref Nonrudi have taken
the skills they learned here as business
majors and turned them into a successful
company. Their company, NetRiders, covers internet consulting and page design.
Their emphasis is in presenting seminars
to companies on setting up the net.
Hernandez and Nonrudi teach business
how to get on line and how to use the
internet. Then they hook them up. Net
Riders clients are mostly in San Diego, but
they have a few out of state. Using their
computer engineering skills, combined
with their business skills, they created the
business they wanted.
Initiating the Net Riders was not a one
step job. Hernandez and Nonrudi started a
different business with the same name in
1994. Thefirstbusinessventure was screen
printing and embroidery. They created
everything from T-shirts and jackets to
bumper stickers and pencils. The sole
purpose in selling those items was to earn
enough profit to start the company they
now have.
Hernandez and Nonrudi can be contacted
by

phone at (619) 967-1130.
