College Presents A Polished
Apple During Fall Semester
By Mike Hartman
Sta» Writer
Football grabbed oft a major
part of Fresno State'a headlines
during the 1961 Tall semester
with Cecil Coleman's unbeaten,
untied and unmerciful Mercy
Bowl champions racing through
10 straight opponents.
The Bulldog gridders thus
topped an eventful semester at
FSC — one featuring beauty
queens, controversy, campus and
state politics, national and inter¬
national visitors, and the arts.
Wlna Mercy Bowl
Coleman's charges "hacked up"
nine regular season opponents,
then climaxed their finest year
with their "finest hour." The
Bulliiogs clipped the wings of the
Bowling Green University Falcons
of Ohio, 3B to 6, in the Los An¬
geles Coliseum Mercy Bowl.
The game netted over (150,000
for the survivors and families of
the victims ot the I960 air disas¬
ter that claimed the Uvea of  16
Cal Poly football players.   .
Fresno State's lopsided victory
brought the college national pub¬
licity and helped make Coleman
Northern California Coach of the
Year. It also put several Bulldogs
on various all-star elevens.
Iioooes lk'iinty Queens
Beauty was plentiful around
campus during the semester des¬
pite FSC's loss of two state beauty
contest winners.
The losses were Sue Ann Hen¬
ryson In the Miss America con¬
test, and Pamela Stettler, Miss
California, in the Miss USA con-
test.
Thankfully. Miss Henryson's
loss is only temporary. She
dropped out of school this semes¬
ter to fulfill television, sinking

Fine Arts has arranged for the
spring semester. Also included In
the schedule are a philosopher

and a poetry reading.
"It's a slow process, bul even¬

program director for the board.
said. "All campuses have pro¬
grams like these. Some have pro¬
grams each day of the week."
Whltrieid said the hoard plans
entertainment that Isn't usually
available for studenls. "Student
groups can bring in popular en¬
tertainers that would fill the gym¬
nasium," he said. "What the
board Is planning ranges from
speakers on serious topics to
classical and  folk  musicians."
This Is the first year that the
board has handled the cultural ac¬
tivities program at the college. So
far they have had Randal Reld-
Adam. British counsel general In
California; the Don Cossack Chor¬
us; noted physicist Dr. Ralph
Lapp; a faculty string ensemble
and Journalist Felix Greene. They
also put up the money that guar¬
anteed actor James Whltmore's
appearance for the play "Brand."
Next semester the board plans
to have Elmerlee Thomas and Jim
Wood, folkslngers: Paul Engle.
poet from the University of Iowa;
Suzanne Bloch, lutanlat who plays
mldieval folksongs; Hazelle Ma-
gee, operatic soprano; Abraham
Kaplan, philosopher, and the Feld
Quartet, string group which play
the chamber music.
Whitfield said present plans are
to make all the programs free to
students. Besides the speakers and
entertainers which appear before
the student body, the board also
sponsors speakers of Interest to
departments.

board arc Dr. Arnold E. Joyal,
college president; Marvin Baxter,
student body president; Turncy

The announcement was made by
the College T and laat year's

When a cultural activities com¬
mittee was set up al the College
three years ago its statement of
purpose said that the committee
was to fill a "long standing need
on this campus for Increased di¬
rect contact with significant con¬
temporary contributors to the eth¬
ical, Intellectual, artistic and so¬
cial development of man."
So far, Iho Board of Fine Arts
is doing a preiiy good job of
fulfilling this purpose.

Dead Week Is
Too Late For
Some To Pass
Take a good look at your class-
ates   today,   for   next   semester
c out of If will be missing —-
disqualified.
This figure, released by W. D.
Albright, dean of students, points
the Importance of dead week.
Starting today all student activi¬
ties will slop in preparation for
final examinations beginning next
Friday.
Dean Albright said lhat seven
per cent of the college's enroll¬
ment was disqualified last year.
Naturally. leading the fatality list
was the freshmen class.
One out of every 10 freshmen
last year's figures. The lowest dis¬
qualification nits was in tho sen¬
ior class where 4 per cent were
hit.
Observance of dead week helps
lower ihls rate. This docs not
mean, said Dean Albright, that
this llrni! will allow students to
pick up a semester's work, but It
will allow those who have kept up
with their studies a chance to
sharpen   their   knowledge.
Dean Herbert H. Wheaton. arte
and sciences, said, "Dead week Is
generally viewed by the faculty
aa a time when tests requiring
more than ordinary study will
not be given. Dally quizzes that
are an ordinary part of classroom
work are exempted."
Dean Gordon Wilson's studenl
activity office reported that there
have been no on campus activities
scheduled for student during the
period.
Dean Wheaton Indicated all
other academic activities will con-

rest  of' this,, the  planning,   p
of the union.
"We approve these functions
further realizing that final ap¬
proval will only come from the
total student body at a general
election to be held later."
The motion passed with only
one dissenting vote.
Several suggestions. In accord¬
ance with a request by Baxter.
were turned In by club represen¬
tatives, listing student comment
on tbe functions proposed by the
committee.
Suggestions Coosldered
The steering committee met yea-
terday to consider these sugges¬
tions.
The proposed 12 lane bowling
alley drew the most controversy
among the council members. It
waa the opinion of some that the
Initial cost (approximately «60.-
000. or one fourth of the total
student union cost) was not war¬
ranted in terms of the use It would
receive.
Others felt the alley would re¬
ive considerable use. and would
bring In revenue to help pay for
upkeep or the building.
Dean Wardle explained that the'
bowling alleys in other student
mlons generally are good money
makers. He cited the case of two
itude'nt unions which are increas¬
ing bowling facilities to meet in¬
creased usage.
Hank Approved
The council voiced approval of
bringing a bank, barber shop and
post office on campus, but were
opposed   to   a   boauty   shop   and
undromat.
Among other suggestions turned
to   Baxter  were   proposals  to    ■
Include a swimming  pool,  worn-
lounge,    a    lounge-lavatory
idjacent to the ballroom, and
fallout shelter In the union.
