	CSU services via Net offered By Yoko Ito-Peterson Daily Forty-Niner The number of online applicants is booming in the California State University system. In the second year of online applying, 25 percent of applications to the university come via the Internet, said Ken Swisher, spokesman for the Chancellor's Office. This is an increase of 178 percent. "By taking advantage of today's technology, online application is just much easier," Swisher said. The system, called CSUMentor, speeds up the application process in the CSU system. It takes four to six weeks by the paper application system, but the new system checks the applications within 24 hours, said Allen Firstenberg, president of XAP Corp., which is working on the Mentor system. "If some information is missing, the system tells the students by blinking the errors," Firstenberg said. Application fees are also paid via the Internet, Firstenberg said. Other features include academic portfolios, a campus tour and financial aid applications. The visitors who spend more than 12 minutes at the site increased by 160 percent, according to a CSU press release.
