Caught In The Act
Limited students have been getting- away with murder, but
they've finally been caught in the act. The board of directors
approved a bill this week to charge limited students $5 for
student body cards. That simply means that those sly money¬
bags, who stomp into one or two classes a week, will finally
have to pay for all the privileges that they have been taking
advantage of the past several years.
It is surprising that Fresno State waited so long to pass
such a bill. Most of the other colleges in California beat
Fresno to the punch in okaying the issue.
No doubt by now, the limited students are screaming why-
why should we have to pay $5 more for our small curriculum T
The answer is simple as can be seen by the question asked
by full-time students. Why should limited students be granted
privileges free while the full-time students pay out of their
pocketbooks for the same privileges?
Several privileges granted full-time students will not be
given the limited card holders. These include voting rights
and passes to the football and basketball games as well as
the West Coast Relays. These exclusions are traditional at
the schools wlych have already put the bill into effect.
It is a shame that the board of directors can't sit down,
though, and set up a special card for limited students who
are interested in obtaining those final four privileges. A
special card, equal in stature to the full-time ASB card, could
be sold for $10 or $12 and this would not be unreasonable.
It could be made an optional offer so that limited students,
many of them older and disinterested in those extra privi¬
leges, could still get the $5 package if they desire.
Extension students have been exempted from the $5 card
fee which goes into effect next falL This is humbug. Exten¬
sion students, who are not on a full-time basis during the
day, or who are not completing a full-time schedule with the
night course, should not be exempt It is true that while
they do take library and other privileges, they can't take
advantage of all the opportunities on campus. If they were
given the chance, though, you can bet that many of them
would go out of their way to take advantage of many of
those privileges.

PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE—Peter Steckel, Frank Conway, Martha
Miller and Naji Nairn talk over the new program of people-
to-people, which has been started on campus. Conway is
the regional director of the plan and Steckel is the campus
coordinator.
Professor Has A Duty Too
It's a student's duty to be prepared for every class; how¬
ever, many students fail in this duty. Late papers, make-up
tests and missed classes are as common on this campus as in
other colleges and universities. Students are justly,, punished
or rewarded for their preparedness through the often over¬
emphasized grading system.
It's also the duty of a professor to be prepared for every
class. Being human, like students, many professors also fail
to meet their duty. Uhihformative, borihglectures;material
that needs to be updated, and educationally useless assign¬
ments are evidence of such failures on the part of professors.
But how is a professor rewarded for his efforts or punished
for his lack of effort?
The best critics of a professor are his students. Poor class
attendance, low discussion participation and a low interest
level give indications of a professor's lack of preparedness.
Regrettably, most of the professors guilty of poor preparation
are also the ones not blessed with the ability "to see one's
self as others do."

They Just Don't Mix
Alcohol and gasoline don't mix.
By now this statement is trite. But, trite or not, the state¬
ment stands; the National Safety Council has released sta¬
tistics which support its slogan.
One of every three drinking drivers is numbered in the
totals which, at each holiday season, shock the nation. One
of three intoxicated drivers ends up with a tag around his toe
—his epitaph written in blood and shattered glass on a
highway.
Collegiates are noted for their drinking. We hope Fresno
State collegates will see fit to do their drinking after they
.arrive home, but not before they slide behind that wheel.
We don't like to write epitaphs. We also don't like to take
pictures of accidents that could have been avoided by the
recognition of a trite statement
Alcohol and gasoline don't mix.

reflecting lights. Cookies, o*ndles
and fruit cakes fill the air with
a  delicious  smell.
And Christmas has Its own
sounds. Children caroling, pipe
organs singing in their own fash-
Ion and the singular sound of a
Santa's helper ringing a bell on
the street corners combine to
make a Christmas chorus.
"Other sounds pierce the senti¬
mental heart. Four shuffling feet
find a path down the crowded
sidewalks and occasionally a
klunk or a ping echoes as coins
hit the bottom of the tin cups
the blind man and his proud wife
carry. He plays the accord I an and
harmonica, badly perhaps: but he
fills his role In the Christmas
magic.
Christmas Is magic to the eyes.
How ijuickty ornaments go up
across the streets. In the fog their
glow warms the city. Christmas is
lights. Even the landing strip at
the airport sparkles with Its multi¬
colored lights, some blinking fran¬
tically In Ihe night.
Christmas Is love and peace.
Christmas transcends the boun¬
daries and restrictions imposed
by society. Christmas belongs to
everyone.
But aren't you glad that Christ¬
mas comes but once a year?
