Delegation: UC Plea From Page 1-B legislature on the area in which it considers new university or state college facilities should be located. It will not make a recommendation on a specific site. The Fresno delegation is armed with one offer to donate 1,000 acres east of Fresno to the university, and a second broad offer of a group of Fresno men to purchase for the university whatever site it selects if the first site proves not suitable. "We know that it takes a minimum of five years to organize and develop plans for a campus," the booklet says "This means that the earliest anticipated enrolment at a San Joaquin Valley campus would be in 1971. It is then, none too soon to start now to inte grate the development of a University of California campus into the master plan for this large metropolitan area." The report says the Committee of 100 Organizations sees no conflict in the establishment of a branch UC campus in Fresno with the present Fresno State College. "The master plan spells out complementary rolls of the three branches of higher education," the report says. "Each has a rote to perform. They have common purposes, but there is a clear definition of function." The report says every met ropolitan area in the state that is larger than Fresno now has both a state college and a branch of the university.

"Each has a rote to perform.

A delegation of Fresnans
Wednesday will ask the
state's coordinating council
for higher education to establish a branch campus of the
University of California in
Fresno.
The members of the delegation will point out that thousands of students in the San
Joaquin Valley are "isolated"
from the educational facilities
of the university.
They will outline the
growth projections for the valley; emphasize the availability of land for a site, and single out the Fresno metropolitan area as the logical site
for the next branch of the
university.
The delegation will attend
a hearing of the physical facilities committee of the coordinating council on higher
education at the state building
in San Francisco.
Milo Rowell, the chairman
of the Committee of 100 Or
ganizations, a group which
has been promoting Fresno as
a site for a branch UC campus, will make the principal
presentation.
Leon Peters, a Fresno businessman and a member of
the committee, also will make
a presentation citing the need
for a medical and law school
in the San Joaquin Valley.
