Contemporary Fraternity
Needs Re-Evaluation
The college fraternity has shown a definite trend in the last
several years to abolish the immature actions that has brought
it harsh criticism.
Gone is the traditional Hell Week, in which the pledges
were unduly paddled, or otherwise physically harmed. Most
of the fraternities have completely abolished any form of
physical harrassment These actions, generally speaking, are
a thing of the past.
Yet the average person, judging on preconceived notions or
prejudices, still refuses to recognize the many attributes fra¬
ternities of the 1960's can point to. We feel a new evaluation
of the fraternity system is in order — an evaluation based on
| what the fraternities do today, and not on what they did in the
past
Much can be said on the credit side for contemporary fra¬
ternities — much more than can be listed-on the debit ledger.
The modern fraternity man is gravely concerned with the two
primary objectives of college — classroom excellence and
learning through doing, or more specifically, participation in
all phases of extra curricula*- activities.
The emphasis on scholastic achievement among the frater¬
nities is deary indicated by figures released semesterly by
Fresno State College comparing the grade point averages of
the Greeks and the non-Greeks. These figures show that the
Greeks consistently earn better grades than students outside
the fraternity system.
This new scholastic attainment probably is a product of
outside pressure groups which denounced the one sided em¬
phasis among fraternities on social activities, and is hot a
creation of the fraternity itself. But the end product is there
nevertheless — a serious college student who is interested in
Thinking, Learning, and Doing.
The value of extra curricular activities would not be under¬
estimated. Not everything can be learned in a classroom, as
some students believe. Leadership ability, the persuasion tech¬
nique, and the ability to mingle successfully with others arc
valuable lessons learned in varied extra-class activities.
A cursory glance around the campus will show that the
Greeks are the most active participants in school activities.
The list of student body and class officers, executive board
committees, and various clubs on campus' reads Jike a Greek
directory.
Help given to many charitable organizations throughout the
community is indicative of the attitude of the "new" Greek.
Fraternities have radically altered their policy in the past
20 years — change dictated by the increasing seriousness of
collegiate life during the 1950's and Ws. As a result, the
membership of the fraternities is also radically different, and
new goals are sought. It is time fraternities recognized this
change, and based their opinions on it. —Dave Hanna
Mission Of Mercy
Fresno State College's four-month-old education project
in the Sudan, Africa's largest nation, marks a cultural and
educational exchange that has already exceeded the highest
expectation of the college-and the International Cooperation
Administration.
The program, one of developing an elementary curriculum
for the educational system of the six-year old nation, was
highly praised by Sudan President Ferik Ibrahim Abboud on
his official State Department visit to the FSC campus last
fall.
Erase any doubts you may have on the success of the two-
year technical assistance program the college is helping to
sponsor in the Sudan.
Many problems faced the Sudan when it received its inde¬
pendence on Jan. 1, 1956: the vast size of the country, the
underdeveloped status of its people, the lack of an adequate
supply of technical and professional personnel, and perhaps
the biggest, problem — the threat of Communism.
Through education Fresno State College is aiding in the
cultural and economic growth of the country. Through edu¬
cation Fresno State is helping to prevent the Communists
from taking over the Sudanese nation.
Much has been accomplished in the last four months in the
Sudan. However, it appears the two-year contract between
the college and the Internationa] Cooperation Adminisl
will need to be extended to four years.
The Sudan mission is one which all students and
of Fresno State College, the community of Fresno,
citizens of the San Joaquin Valley should encoui
support in the future with intensity, sincerity and cri'i

How Do You Feel
On Name Change?
By Blaine Handell
Q. Should our name be changed
to   California   State   College   at
Fresno?   (Lost   tn   e.   three-part
series.)
Dr. W. Donald Albright, Dean of
Students.
"I don't have any strong point
of view In terms of a name
change. I recognize that ln the
eyes of the public the name uni¬
versity has status against college.
It may be real or It may not be.
■'Aifcjnatltutlon of higher edu¬
cation o"*a not gain status by
having thofajght kind, of name.
Far too mu5|E||^tion is focused

mendable manner."
Dr. I'll) Ills Watts, Dean of Grad¬
uate Studies.
"I favor an eventual change. In
the course of events, I expect we
will change Into a university type
of operation and will need a
name change. We are already per¬
forming many university func¬
tions.
"I have no objection
change. However, I do not i
reason to change to California
State College now and then to
change to California State Uni¬
versity."

of the nsme California will do
much to enhance our prestige. I
believe we would lose more than
we would gain, In relation to our
contact with our service area.
"Probably a change will come,
but It will be far in'the future."
Gordon Wilson, Associate Dean of
Students.
"I have no feelings about the
matter. This college has long been
known as Fresno State. It would
still be known as Presno State.
People will still refer to this col¬
lege by lis present name."
Edward Piston, Director of Infor¬
mation and Printing.
"I have no objections. I am
neutral on this subject. If there is
a change, however, I would like to
see It as California State Univer¬
sity. Our over-all organizational
structure and set-up would blend
very easily to a university status.
"I would like to add lhat Fres¬
no State College owes a lot to the
community of Fresno."
IlUine Handell, Junior public re¬
lations major.
"I firmly believe the proposed
namo will more clearly define
FSC. without detracting from the
branches of the University of Cal¬
ifornia. It will definitely add to
the prestige of the college.
"As far as losing local support
Is concerned, It seems to m
the prestige of the college Is
raised, then the prestige of the
city will rise with it,
"However, I can't see the n
changed to Fresno State Univer¬
sity, because the name of our
mate would still be omitted. Cal¬
ifornia State College at Fresno—
you bet! I like It."
