A Walk Into The Past
The next time you're in the mood for a walk, wander over
to Memorial Court. There, half hidden by the trees, lie
bronze plaques.
These plaques were present when the court was dedicated
on Dec 11, 1955. During the ceremony speakers pledged to
honor the memory of the 142 Fresno State graduates killed
in World War II and Korea.
"No man is too young to die for those things that are
worth living for. We should be both proud and grateful to
those who gave their lives," said the Very Rev. Paul V.
Kedmond, California State Chaplain for the .American Legion.
Yet, seven short years later few students pause to notice
the plaques under the trees. Only a small number of profes¬
sors and administrators remember the extensive campaign
for the court in 1955.
This fall, attention has been called to the court by the con¬
struction and dedication of a $4,000 fountain. Participating
in the ceremony were John W. Hasten, former instructor of
agriculture, and his wife.
For the Mastens it was a time for remembering. Their
memories went back to the spring of 1955 when Bernard
Shew, then Men's Legislative Commissioner and president of
the Chinese Students Club, spearheaded the drive for the
court.
Together with his organization, Shew appealed to groups
on campus until 78 of them donated the $1,200 needed for
the Memorial Court.
Masten and his wife donated 92 trees in memory of their
daughter, who died in 1955. The plaques contained the names
of the donors.
The plaques, symbols of the forgotten campaign, will re¬
main partially buried by the trees. Like most traditions they
will gradually sink into the past, making way foF progress.
Yet we as students, faculty and administrators can do
something about these plaques. We can stage annual cere¬
monies to honor our dead at the Memorial Court, just as there
are the annual Queen's Balls, Frosh-Soph Brawls, and Spring
Sings. We can look at the plaques and fountain from time
to time.
Only in this way may we be "both proud and grateful" to
the FSC war dead.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
MOTE
In letter should have run in the
■ry 14 IiiLia of The Collculiui.
The editorial which s|lpcai-ed In that
luuo wna bued on thli letter by
Howcrfon,
Sir: *
At the Jan, 9 meeting of the
Student Council, action was taken
HULL was. I feci, completely U-
lepal, and was a dangerous step
in the direction of leaving tho
complete responsibility of student
government in the hands of those
in power. In a situation ot this
kind, the rights and protections
ot the students can be effectively
overlooked, as. in my opinion,
they were Wednesday evening.
The action taken was that of
appointing Rod Coburn to the
office of vice president of the stu¬
dent body and appointing Larry
Layne, the outgoing vice preal-
dent, as men's legislative com¬
missioner, the office that Mr. Co-
burn vacated In order to take the
office or vice president.
Now, in the bylaws of the Stu¬
dent Association, it is stated, in
Section D, Clause lc,: "In the
event of a vacancy during the
term of office of any elective stu¬
dent body officer or class presi¬
dent, the President shall, with the
approval of tho Student Council,
appoint a suitable student to fill
the vacancy, A student appointed
to till such a vacancy must meet
the same eligibility requirements
as a candidate ordinarily running
for that office. . . ."
I call tho stndents' attention to
tho words ■■during the term of
office". BUI Edholm, the vice
president-elect, withdrew from
school before his installation. So,
I submit the vacancy In this of¬
fice occurred before tho term of
office suited.
Hence tho president had no
legal right to appoint anyone to
dll the office of vice president.
Also, I would like to point out
Clsuse V of Section C of the by¬
laws. "Resignation of any elective
or appointive office In the Asso¬
ciation . . . shall be submitted in
writing to tbe Student Council
two (2) weeks prior to the effec¬
tive date of such resignation.
Mr. Coburn submitted hla
nation at the same meeting he
wns appointed to the office of
vice president. And henco was not
eligible for appointment since ho
still held the office of men's legi¬
slative commissioner.
When this writer tried to rise
to a point of order at the meet¬
ing, he was told that the bylaws
didn't cover thia situation by the
president, and was also told by a
college official that he (the offi¬
cial) felt that the bylaw previ¬
ously mentioned (Section D,
Clause lc) was written for Just
such a case as had happened.
j I submit that tbe president is
given the powers delegated to him
by the bylaws and no more, and
also that our own Student Court
Is the one which decides what the
bylaws mean, not the officials of
the college.
In my opinion, a special elec¬
tion would effectively take care
of this problem. At least the stu¬
dents would hsve a little time to
make np their own minds instead
of being pushed into some thing
by being given only a half a dsy's
notice of an important vote,
tbe Student C6«ficii was in this
Instance. ^i*
If our bylaws are this easily
gotten around, what does the or¬
dinary student have to say about
his student government. NothlngT
