President Bush declared parts of Southern California disaster areas after wildfires ravaged the region. But it's not just brush being burned by the flames—the firefighting effort putting a strain on the state;s already-scorched budget. But what it loses in the fire, the state will make up in budget cuts. California State University students and faculty are reacting to news that the school system will reduce next year's incoming class by 10,000 applicants to cut costs.
