NO IDEA      BOOKS
Continued from page 2
These are all seemingly normal, rational
people who have been attending school
for varying amounts of time. They have
been forced to take an amazing collection
of classes, fill out an incredible
assortment of forms, and stand in a
remarkable variety of lines. They'll fit in
perfecdy working with the government!
(Tm sure everyone out there will agree that
some of our required general education
.classes are remarkably like filling out IRS
income tax forms — they are an
unavoidable, but necessary, evil.)
I'm looking forward to commencement,
as I'm sure mV friends anVtyow, as they
burrow through mountains of paperwork,
deal with clueless people who don't seem
to give a dam, and grapple with the usual
assortment of red tape — they will have
something to smile about that those of us
who are still in school don't. They'll be
getting paid for it. Isn't THAT what school
is all about?

Albert Heaney, professor of electric
engineering, said. "In some cases, the
delay in book requests might be because
some of the faculty do not know until now
which courses they will be teaching next
semester."
He added that his department was in the
process of hiring new faculty, and as a
result, he may or may not end up teaching
a particular course."
There are many faculty members who
are looking at new books, and who want
to go through the summer to explore new
books, which is a good idea," Gartner
said.
The bookstore is trying, to track down
those who are waiting fbr no reason,
Gartner said. There are a lot of faculty
who use the same books every semester
and are delaying their orders."
John Tinker, professor of sociology,
said he Was busy and could not talk, but
said the reason he had failed to meet the
deadline   was   because   he   is   trying   to
evaluate new books.   ,
"I am busy dealing with students. If it is
a matter of filling out a book request form,
I would just do that," Tinker said. ^ am
worried about bringing the course up to
date. I have to evaluate different books. I
worked over the spring break and I am
working on it in evenings."
Robert CNeil. professor of English,
said he did not turn in his book request
form "because I have a new class I will be
teaching in fall. I am working on the
reading list, and it has been a busy
semester. I am also in the process of
evaluating new books for the new course."
Gartner said he hopes the late book
requests will be in by May 10.
"If we don't have a request for the books
by May 10, then when the book buyback
starts May 13, students may lose money
because we will not know if the same
books will be used next semester and a
price lower than 50 percent will be offered
to the students.
'The students will then have fewer used
books next semester," Gartner said.
Tf they are very late in getting their
orders to us, say, like August, then there
will be no books the first two weeks of
classes," Gartner said.
Gartner said the delay of fall semester
book orders also affects the bookstore.
Tt helps us to decide which books to
return, so we don't hold dead inventory. It
indirectly helps us more than the
students," Gartner said, because the
bookstore can start looking for used
books at different places where they are
available.
The bookstore, according to Gartner,
looks for used books until Jury 1. After
that deadline, it goes to the publishers for
new books.
The earlier we have the book orders,
the more time we will have to locate used
books," Gartner said. \
"One dung the students can do is ask
faculty if they are going to use the same
text book next semester." he said. This
serves as a second reminder for the
instructor to get their orders in if they
have made up their minds. It will also tells
others in class that books can be sold,"
Gartner added.
Gartner said that the bookstore is
taking serious steps to get the faculty to
rum in their request forms. Tit die next
week, we will have a person calling up
faculty members to remind them to get
their book orders in."
RESPONSE

assaults. He went on to say, "I enjoy
teaching at Fresno State, but I disdain
Fresno," To be honest with you, Dr.
Rogers, you should consider moving
because Fresno's not your cup 'o tea. There
is a good side to everything, including
Fresno, but you need to seek it out. It,
unlike your job, will not be handed to you
on a silver platter.
Dr. Rogers also resents the fact that we
live in "...a competitive, capitalistic
society that perpetuates competition and
hostility among ethnic groups." That same
society, Dr. Rogers, has built a country so
successful (and tolerant) that it can afford
to support those who speak out against its
economic system and values.
I hoped that somewhere in that article, I
would find Dr. Rogers' solution to our
oppressive, capitalistic society. There is
was in the last paragraph. He said that we
need "socialist solutions to unemployment
and racist educational systems." For those
who have no real potential or motivation,
socialism holds a certain fascination. You
can call me old-fashioned, but I still think
that competition brings out the best in
those who compete. «Some people can't
survive in a competitive atmosphere, but
that's not the end of the road for them
because even losers can win.

but now includes mention of sexual
organs, sexual functions and excretory
functions.
Wilson said this will affect the staled
KFSR policy of having announcers play
songs which they are unfamiliar with on
the air. They're encouraged to experiment
with music, but not on the air. They can
find new artists, but check them out before
they air the song."
"I listen to everything first," True said.
But he added he has not been making a
notation to guide the announcers on
records which he found had objectionable
lyrics. "Now, if it was a really exceptional
case, I suppose I would." (
According to Wilson's memo, .the
disclaimer KFSR will air after accidently
playing an offensive song reads, "Some of
the material heard on KFSR may be
offensive to some listeners; however, it is
the belief of station management that such
material is a form of artistic expression
and, under die First Amendment, has a
right to be heard."
KFSR announcers are required to sign
the second page of the memo, indicating
they have read and understood the new
policy.
"Hopefully, we will not be airing this
disclaimer too often as you will be
expected to avoid any music which could
be considered questionable or
controversial," Wilson said.
