Student Council Revises' Election Code
By Jim Church and Kant Thompson
The Student Council took a cue from astronaut
John Olenn Wednesday night and took off Into
sn orbit or its own. The council talked In circles
aim out as long as lt took Olenn to orbit three times.
Much or the "weightless" discussion
launched by the revised election code brought
forth for student council approval and which was
finally sdopted.
The section Involving tho moat relevance was tbe
deletion ot the section on penalties for violations of
the election code.
To Take Away Votes
tn the revised Election Code penalttes^were
be ln tbe form of loss of votes. The penalty for
each violation in the revised code was 10 votes for
class offices and 26 votes for student body offices.
The Item was deleted by the Council by unani¬
mous vote. In the discussion the Young Republi¬
cans' council representative summed up much of
the sentiment against tho section by saying:
"It Is unconstlnwonal to take sway votes from
the people as well as from the candidate."
Tbe Council then voted to return to the old
method of assessing, cash penalties of 15 for each
violation, which would be added to the total ex¬
penditures for a candidate, with the stipulation
that exceeding the expenditure limit would necessi¬
tate disqualification.
The election committee reported it will employ
s "police system" of five committee members In the
nest election to supervise the conduct of ihe cam-
p signs.
Gerald Tahaslan, an announced candidate for
Student Body president, said he spoke for opponent
Rsy Snow In proclaiming that he would rather see
a strong election committee which would disqualify
delinquent candidates.
Another   Item   that   envoked   both   the   wrath.
humor and sentiment ot the Council was the issue
of faculty members taking part ln election cam¬
paigns. The problem was brought to light last
semester when » faculty member circulated
memorandum encouraging votes for a candidate
who won after a runoff.
Weak Statement
The Election Code states that, "It Is a Fresno
State College tradition that faculty members do not
participate ln election campaigns." After going
record favoring faculty participation, the Council
reconsidered and deleted the clause.
After more discussion the Council voted to put
the clause back In. Then after more discussion, the
Council by a straw vote went on record as favoring
that  the faculty not  participate ln election cam-
The Student Body Constitution specifically give*
faculty   members   who   hold   membership   In   the
Fresno State College Aasoclatlon Inc. the right to
vote and take an active part In elections.
Postpone Name Change
Other additions to the Election Code
"Failure to turn In an expense account will
In the candidate's disqualification. This had not
been done In the past; a phrase saying that
campaign structure shll be more than 10 feet high"
was deleted, and tho phrase. "Candidates may
UHe any materials or equipment belonging to
Associated students or the college." was added.
In olher action, the Council voted to accept the
recommendation of the Student Executive Council
that a committee be formed lo handle student
tions  with  the  bookstore and  the cafeteria.
A motion to accept the executive council's���ommendatlon that the college name remain the
same was postponed until the next meeting to allow
Social Science Professor Dr. William Beatty. origi¬
nator of the Idea to present his views.
Finally it was "A-OK."
Salary Increase Of WWw
Per Cent Asked By Council
By Jerry MacDonald
A salary and staffing crisis in
the California state college system
haa   prompted   the   FSC   faculty
council to take formal action.
Tbe council has sent resolutions
to all the state legislators and to
the trustees of the state college
system. Thls*ls the first action
takeoafcf the faculty on this Issue.
ThUJHaluUons urge the legis-
lator's "*srU|ytrU8tees to support a
request for a special 12 M- per
cent general salary increase dur¬
ing the present session nf the leg¬
islature. The 12 Vs per cent In¬
crease Is to be over and above

*sjBr Clrady L. Mullenix, asso¬
ciate professor of business admin¬
istration and the president of the
college's chapter of the Associa¬
tion   of   California   State   College
Professors, said that tho resolu¬
tions were the result of s report
lhat was prepared by him in his
duties as the chairman of the
economic welfare committee of
the ACSCP.
System Hampered
"The state college system Is
being hampered by a Ink of ade¬
quate salaries In the recruitment
and retention of teaching person¬
nel," he commented.
"California state colleges are
not competing effectively for new
faculty and the Inevitable result
Is lower quality education for
students. Many applicants are
turning down jobs In California,
and the most prevalent reason for
the application withdrawals Is In¬
adequate salaries."
Mutlcnlx also pointed out that
last year 207 full time professors
resigned   from   the   state   college

better salaries or positions.

"The salary Bcale of the college
professor compared to that i
grounds keeper at theUniversity

ed out that though this may not
necessarily be the case at Presno
State, students should know thst
it goes on In colleges and univer¬

Crowther.

"Tho church must be Involved
In every area In which human
relationships are fragmented," he
said. "In a university community,
these sororities and fraternities
presumably exist In order to es¬
tablish and develop human rela¬
tionships within the contest of
the basic purpose of the univer¬
sity."
"Tho sad thing is that In all
too many cases the Creek organi¬
zations themselves perpetuate the—
medieval fragmentation of our
society. It Is beyond my compre¬
hension how any group ot people
who ascribe to themselves the
name Christian can continue to
participate In a situation which
deliberately excludes members of
other races solely on the ground*
or the color or "their skin."'"
Crowther challenged all Chris*
tlan members of fraternities and
sororities on this campus to se¬
riously examine their consciences
as tn whether they can remsln
members of organizations which
deny them the freedom to ssso-
