-TTw Fresno Stat* College Collegian-
Ohio Team Is Scapegoat
It happened at Chicago University. It happened at College
of Pacific, now University of Pacific. It may happen at Ohio
State University.
The big Ohio school is currently undergoing stress and
strain in an academic-athletic tug of war, the results of which
will be evident during the next two football seasons.
According to an article in the Apr. 21 issue of the Saturday
Review, the university, which for years has had one of the
best college football teams in the country, is not entirely
happy with the image it presents to the public and has
decided to take a fresh look at big-time athletics and their
relationship to the goals of higher education.
Both Chicago and COP, former football powers, have de-em
phasized athletics, with Chicago not fielding a football team.
The article, by John Scanlon, associate education editor of
the Saturday Review, titled "The Scent of Roses," describes
the forces that came into play when the Ohio State Univer¬
sity Faculty Council decided last fall not to let the Buckeyes
play in the Rose Bowl. The decision aroused a storm of
protest among students, alumni and other Buckeye Doosters
but, according to the article, it reflected a determination on
the part of the OSU faculty not to let football overshadow
the academic side of a college education.
The Buckeyes draw more spectators to their home games
than almost any other college football team in the country.
The people of Ohio have a proprietary interest in the team
because they built Ohio Stadium with their own money and
continue to support the University with their tax dollars.
The article did not point out exactly why the faculty of
OSU refused to allow such an outstanding team play in the
Rose Bowl, when the school has been a regular participant
in the classic.
If the faculty ultimately decides on post-season games,
then why doesn't the faculty interfere with the athletic pro¬
gram and the schedule? Perhaps it wants to. Perhaps it will.
One gets the feeling that most faculties of American
colleges and universities would like to stand up and put on
a display of determination as did the OSU faculty. If this is
so, then most faculties would rather have intercollegiate
athletics on a national scale not be a part of the college.
We feel the OSU faculty is in the minority. If they are
not, then other American colleges and universities have been
practicing a successful policy of peaceful-coexistence.
Does the athletic stature of the University of California or \
Stanford take away from their academic prestige? No. This
indicates the ulterior motive of the jealous OSU faculty.
If the school's athletic image is over-shadowing its aca¬
demic image, then it is the fault of the faculty and not of the
football team.

Are You An
Execudreamer?
By Jim Church. Collegian Editor
From Other Campi.

Are   you   an   execudreamer?
That's a college student who
plays tho role. In Its harmless
state It Is a mild form ol role
playing. In the more advai
forms It is unquestionably, second
to alcohol, the r^iuso of the most
lost man hours In Industry, and
the most lost study hours In
school.
ExecumaBja — laklng on I
than you can handle — trying to
hold down a full time Job and
take a full load of study cou
at the same time. This effects all
of us. And yours truly is as guilty
as anyone.
Lon   D.    Barton,    president   of
[Cadillac - Drake,

Is  a   killing
The paperbacks are  loaded  with
itorles  of   executives   who   make
decisions   affecting   the   economy
of the  world, wield  power to tho
icompanlment of glamorous  wo-
en  and   flowing  champagne.
Wistfully,  Barton  longs  to  see
book or movie that portrays the
executive as he actually is — a
who works 50-80 hours a
week, always lonesome for the
panlonsbip of his wife and
family, who probably still nurses
■ had back and weak kidney

could  make   two  extra calls  the
next day.
Even actual failure after grad¬
uation won't dim the hopes of
these execudreamers, so hypno¬
tised are they by these succesf
schools.
How can you spot the differ¬
ence between him and a normal
ambitious goal-oriented student!
As the executive dreamer syn¬
drome advances the victim be¬
comes more and more self-cen¬
tered. He Is only Interested In
bolstering his own ego. He n
thinks In terms of what Is best
for his club, organization,
school.
He will demand recognltii
and authority. Instead of doing
his assigned work he will atte
to improve established systems
(grading, etc.) He will n
delegate authority and becomes
distrustful or his associates. Ht
lavishes status symbols on him¬
self and makes repeated demands
on his superiors for more author¬
ity.
The execudreamer considers bis
periors   incompetent   and   will
spend   a   great   deal   of   time   at-
ptlng   to   prove   them   so.   At
this state he Is spending so much
with   his   fantasy   that   his
lar  work  Is suffering  and  It
becomes increasingly difficult for
to  hold down a Job, or keep
up In his studies.

Parking Charges Unfair
When California college students go to vote in the June pri¬
maries, they should remember issues pertinent to their college
life and the attitudes of various candidates on these issues.
One particular issue which should influence a lot of stu¬
dent votes aa well as votes of instructors is the ridiculous
parking situation.
Every state college and UC campus is victimized by high
parking fees, while high schools and elementary schools go
free. Even junior college fees are extracted from the student
body card or lumped under such phrases as "service"
"registration" fees.
This is a large source of state income, and if it is ne
sary, then it should be consistently leveled. One-third of
every dollar collected goes to pay guards who hand out
ticket*.
It's undemocratic to say the state has a right to charge
for space such as is the case with parking meters downtown,
Large shopping units, however, rarely charge for parking.
All state institutions do not charge for parking space. Go
down tij^haw Avenue to the Division of Forestry, and you
can park free.
And there is space, acres of it At other colleges, not only
Fresno State, one sees lawns, not parking lots, while nearby
city streets are crowded with autos parked bumper to
bumper (Shaw and Cedar Avenues).
While our problem is not as acute as it is at San Jose State
College it exists and will increase with the school's popula¬
tion. Help yourself. Know how the legislative candidates feel
about the parking problem and vote accordingly. And after
he is elected, write to him, expressing your views.

CRAM COURSE No. 3: ENGLISH POETRY
Final cxnms will soon be upon us.
games, let us instead study hard, t
ously.
In this column today let us make a quick survey of English
poetry. When we speak ot English poetry, wo are, of course
speaking of Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Some say that of the
three, Keats was the most talented. It is true that he displayed
his Rills earlier than the others. While still a schoolboy at St.
Swithin's he wrote his epie lines:
If I am good, I get an apple.
So I don't whistle in the chapel.
Prom this distinguished sXRinning, he went on to write mm-
othcr ■10,000 poems in his lifetime-which is all Uio more
remarkable when you consider that he was only five feet tall!
I mention this fact only to show that physical problems never
keep tho true artist from creating. Byron, for example, was
lame. Shelley had on ingrown hair. Nonetheless, these three
titans of literature turned out a veritable torrent of romantic
poetry.
Nor did they neglect their personal lives. Byron, a dcrt
with the ladies, was expelled from Oxford for dipping Elisabeth
Barretts pigtails in an inkwell. Ho thereupon left England te
fight in the Greek: war of independence. Ho fought bravely and
well, but women were never far from his mind, as evidenced by
thia immortal poem:
Hate splendid Hit to fight for the Greek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much a* dancing cheek to cheek.
While Byron fought in Greece, Shelley remained in England,
where be became court poet to the Duke of Marlborough*. (It
is interesting to note in passing that Marlborough was the origi¬
nal spelling or Marlboro Cigarettes, but the makers were unable
to get the entire word on the paclsige. With characteristic iay
Euiity they cleverly lopped off the final "gh". This, of course,
t them with a "gh" lying around the factory. They looked
for some place to put it and finally decided to give It to the
Director of Sales, Mr. Vincent Van Go. This had a rather curious
result. As plain Van Go, he had been a craclccrjack director of
sales, but once bo became Van Gogh, be felt a mysterious,
irresistible lu-jre to paint. He resigned from the Company ond
became an artist. It did not work out too well. When Van Gogh
learned what a great success Marlboro Cigarettes quickly be¬
came—as, of course, they had to with sucha flavorful flavor,
such a filterful filter, such a flip-top box, such a soft pack—he
was so upset about leaving the firm that he cut off his ear in a
fit of chagrin.)
But I digress. Byron, I say, was in Italy and Shelley in
