Prestige Factor Re-Stated
Name Change Hope Flames Again
A new proposal for a name
change for state colleges has been
recommended by tho State Col¬
lege Academic Liaison Commit¬
tee of the California Stale Em¬
ployees Association.
If the Board of Trustees initi¬
ates auch changes the committee
will support the action, said Dr.
.Cheater Cole, committee member
and geography department chair¬
man, y
"It's parochial and stupid to
leave the name as It is and be¬
sides the name of the city should
not be linked with the college.''
said Cole.
No Distinction
He went on to say that the
dlstlnotlon   between   Junior   and
-lieges Is hard 10 make
,ow because many ot the Junior
olleges have .dropped the word
'Junior" ln their titles, such as
Fresno   City  College.
'California has the rinest state
college system but when we (ravel
In the East and ln Europe, people
tend to rank us as Junior colleges
when we say we come from Fresno
State College.
■•Students not wanting to
change the name are asking for
trouble, With university in the
title, necessary prestige will be
given to students and the college."
The original suggestion for the
name change came in February,
1962 when Dr. William Beatty.
professor  of  social   science, and
the ■ Faculty Council adopted a
memorandum to be sent to the
other state colleges and the State
College  Chancellor.
At that time. Dr. Beatty stated
lhat "the name Fresno State Col¬
lege dragged down the prestige
of the college." His suggestion
tor the name was California State
College at . . . which was opposed
by the  Siudent  Council  at that
There was a great deal of dis¬
cussion on the matter but no defi¬
nite solhtlon was suggested.
Was Dead
Jerry Tahajian, current stu¬
dent body president, said the Stu¬
dent Council voted against the
proposed California State College
and that there has been
further action taken on the uni¬
versity name.
"In .my estimation the students
should get behind tho new name
change even though the people
downtown are against It," said
Dr, Cole.
He said the committee mem¬
bers, who recommend policies of
the state colleges to the Board of
Directors of csea. gave a ma¬
jority vote to the recommenda¬
tion.
There are 18 members serving
on the committee, basically one
representative from each state
college and one from the Cali¬
fornia Maritime Academy,
