Cal State Northridge President Blenda J.

Terms of a $500,000 endowment for a history professorship at California State University, Northridge have been agreed upon by the university and the donor, the W. P.

More than $100,000 in fraudulent payroll checks from the CSUN Foundation have been passed since early June, making it the latest victim of a sophisticated ring of thieves that counterfeits checks and saturates Southern California with them, authorities said Thursday. The checks have been passed this month primarily at small businesses and shopping markets in numerous cities in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Cal State Northridge on Friday again rejected a campus franchise for a Carl's Jr. fast-food outlet, the target of protests against the conservative politics of the company's founder.

For students, faculty and staff who live in apartments run by the Cal State Northridge Foundation, recent notice of $25- and $30-per-month rent increases was one blow too many in a year of tough breaks. "We've been hit left and right, and I don't see why we should be hit again from our own university," said resident Robert Marshall, an archivist with the university who helped gather nearly 100 signatures from residents asking CSUN President Blenda J. Wilson to intervene.

Citing concern over a lack of financial support, Cal State Northridge Vice President Ron Kopita said Friday that he will evaluate the athletic program's NCAA Division I status.

"Frankly, I don't have an opinion on Division I or Division II," he said Friday.

Cal State Northridge, which rejected a Carl's Jr. fast-food outlet on campus because of protests against the politics of the chain's founder, will instead open a Burger King on March 15, university officials said Thursday. Burger King was chosen over other chains because of its willingness to allow CSUN officials to buy the franchise outright and run it their way, said Don Queen, director of the CSUN Foundation, which operates most campus food services.
