California State University Mrs. Dobson's 4th grade class from Sacred Heart School took a trip back in time Tuesday to an 1840s fur trapping camp along the Sacramento River. The trappers were sent up the Sacramento River from Sutter's Fort, Sacramento. Their mission was to trade peacefully with the local indians in order to trap beaver along the river. Students experienced four stations that made up the complex operations of the camp.The first station was the Traders Tent where the students appointed Paige Conczeruk as their Chief. She negotiated the trapping rights with the visiting trappers. Paige did a wonderful job securing pots, knives, tea and steel arrowheads for her tribe. The second station was the Hunters Tent where students saw different hunting rifles and learned about hunting bear, deer and elk. The third station was the Camp Keepers Tent.This Tent was comprised of women who were challenged with the task of keeping a large group of men fed.The last tent was the Trappers Tent. There students learned how to trap a river otter. This River Trip program was wonderful and it brought California history to life for these 4th grade students. This event is called the River Trip and it is put on by Friends of Sutter's Fort. They come to Red Bluff each year to teach 4th grade students about California History. SERRF students learn about respect University system named a new chancellor Thursday to head the nation's largest collection of four-year colleges as it faces significant financial and academic headwinds. CSU officials said Timothy P. White, currently the chancellor of the University of California, Riverside, will take charge of the Cal State system, which has 427,000 students on 23 campuses. picks new chancellor SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The California State White, 63, will replace Charles B. Reed, who is retir- ing after 14 years. White plans to start the new job in late December when the 71-year-old Reed steps down. Born in Argentina, White moved to Northern Cali- fornia as a boy and was the first in his family to go to college. He was a student in the CSU, UC and Califor- nia Community Colleges systems. ''It's a very important day in my life personally. It's a day when I double down on my commitment to the state of California,'' White told reporters. ''It's a nice chance for me to give back to this great state.'' White is expected to receive the same compensation package as Reed: an annual salary of $421,500 plus a $30,000 supplement from CSU foundation sources and a standard benefits package. After a nationwide search that began in May, the CSU board of trustees approved White's appointment Wednesday and is scheduled to vote on his compensa- tion package in November, said spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp. Over the past three years, Cal State has sustained unprecedented cuts in state funding, leading to steep tuition hikes and deep reductions to courses, staffing, services and student enrollment. The CSU system could face a $250 million midyear funding cut if California voters reject Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative on the Nov. 6 ballot. Last month, the CSU board of trustees approved a mea- sure to raise tuition by 5 percent early next year if the proposition fails. ''There's a lot at stake. It's really about the future of California's ability to remain competitive in the global economy,'' White said. CSU board Chairman Bob Linscheid said White has the right experience and background to lead the Cal State system. ''His demonstrated leadership and commitment to student success are the right combination for the univer- sity's future,'' Linscheid said.

Reed over university policies and contract negotiations, welcomed White to the job. ''While we wish that the CSU trustees had been more transparent in making its selection, we are never- theless eager to work with the new chancellor to rebuild the California State University,'' said union President Lillian Taiz, a history professor at Cal State Los Ange- les.
