IBM will give more than $20 million in equipment and technical support to expand the use of computers in teacher training at Cal State campuses and in classroom education at elementary and secondary schools throughout California, officials announced Wednesday.

California State University graduate students won a reprieve this week when officials decided to continue offering financial aid that helps about 20,000 postgrads pay for school. Students learned last week that Cal State was considering eliminating State University Grants for graduate students, while maintaining the funding for undergrads. The grant program currently waives tuition costs for about 120,000 low-income students, including about half of the university's 40,000 postgrads.

Dale B. Ride was reelected chairman of the California State University Board of Trustees during a board meeting at the 19-campus system's Long Beach headquarters. Ride, 65, is assistant to the president of Santa Monica Community College and the father of astronaut Sally K. Ride. He was appointed to the board in 1984.

The chairman of California State University's governing board said Tuesday that he will propose capping the pay of new executives at 10% above what their predecessors made in the wake of stinging criticism of recent salary decisions. Herb Carter, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said the limit would address concerns raised by several state lawmakers who have introduced legislation that would establish stricter policies and curb the trustees' ability to set compensation. Trustees gathered Tuesday in Long Beach and will continue their meeting Wednesday.

Effective March 25, the "Revised Index" represents a sample eligibility comparison for California high school graduates and/or residents applying for fall 1988 admission to the California State University system. "As students take more rigorous courses, their standardized test scores go off but not enough to fully offset the drop in grade point averages," said Dr. Charles Lindahl, assistant vice-chancellor of academic affairs, educational support. "We prefer students with a 3.

California State University campuses have received 59,826 applications over the Internet this fall, a fourfold increase over online applications from the year before. The University of California, meanwhile, received 18,921 applications online by Nov. 30, a 77% increase from the year before.

Cal State Fullerton's 25th anniversary celebration concluded with the last graduation ceremony Sunday evening. A record 5,008 diplomas were presented, in sharp contrast to the university's first graduating class in 1960, when five diplomas were presented to all undergraduate students. A total of six separate commencement ceremonies were held Saturday and Sunday on the green adjoining the Performing Arts Center on campus.

How much earthquake protection is enough for the California State University system? How much can the state afford to provide? What is a reasonable expectation for protecting the public safety even if it means sustaining heavy property damage?

Total damage estimate: $350 million. All 53 major structures on campus were damaged. The university reopened buildings by priority: Library, science labs, classrooms, faculty offices and administration. The most seriously damaged buildings: Administration: Closed indefinitely Oviatt Library Wings: Closed indefinitely Fine Arts: Closed indefinitely Computer center: Closed indefinitely Parking Structure C: Scheduled for demolition University Tower Apts.

Angered by years of student fee hikes at California's public universities and colleges, lawmakers are pursuing legislation that would give them broad new powers over how the higher education systems spend taxpayer money. The proposals include measures to limit student fees, freeze executive compensation and increase budget transparency, and even a constitutional amendment that would strip the University of California of its historic autonomy. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed several such proposals, but legislative leaders, faculty and student groups and labor unions are hoping for an ally in Gov.-elect Jerry Brown, who investigated fundraising practices at the California State University in his current job as attorney general.

For nearly six years, I have served on the Board of Trustees of the California State University system -- the last two as its chairman. This experience has been more than just professional; it has been a deeply personal one. With my term ending soon, I need to share my concern -- and personal pain -- that California is on the verge of destroying the very system that once made this state great. I came to California because of the education system. I grew up in Connecticut and attended college back East on partial scholarships and financial aid. I also worked part time, but by my first year of grad school, I'd maxed out my financial aid and was relying on loans that charged 14% interest.

The two young men whose portrait adorns the cover of "Jewish Life in the American West" are brothers, although they could hardly be more distinct in appearance. One is a dapper urbanite in coat, collar and tie. The other is wearing the iconic apparel of the American cowboy: a set of chaps on his legs, a holstered six-gun on his hip, a bandana around his throat, a Stetson on his head and a lariat in his hand.

Gov. George Deukmejian said Thursday that he would not ask the chairwoman of the California State University trustees to resign, although she made a "bad mistake" by misrepresenting her educational background. In a press conference here, Deukmejian said Huntington Beach resident Marianthi K. Lansdale has apologized to him for claiming a community college degree she did not have when the governor first nominated her to the prestigious CSU Board of Trustees nearly four years ago. The claim was also forwarded to the state Senate, which confirmed her nomination for a term that expires in March, 1993.
