( SUC Chancellor Clenn S Dumke was
'stacking the deck in Banter s favor"
the CSUF Executive C ommittee of the
Academic Senate withheld a guarantee
that the faculty would cooperate with

The Executive Committee was upset
that a teletyped letter from Chancellor
Dumke arrived Monday afternoon, less
than one hour before the item ton

The Executive committee members
were not only upset that they had no
time to review the letter before discuss
ing it at their meeting, but also because
the letter said that Baxter would be
allowed to review all materials in the
evaluation file and add his own 'com

I am writing to you personally to request your cooperation, and to give you a brief background of the
review panel members selected to evaluate the per
formance of President Norman A Baxter in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Trustees in
September. In addition, I will outline the process to
be used in this evaluation
With regard to the review panel that will be re
sponsible for the evaluation, I am pleased that we
have been able to identirv three individuals with rep
utations for commitment to fair and objective decision making and high academic values
Fach has considerable knowledge of the California State University And Colleges and is exper
lenced in matters related to higher education
Dr Joseph Piatt ,5 president of Claremont Uni
versify Center He was a member of the faculty of
the physics department at Rochester University
for sixteen years, served for twenty vears as presi
dent of Harvey Mudd College, and was Chair of the
(then) Coordinating Council for Higher Education s
Select Committee to Review the Master Plan for
Higher Education from 1971-73
Mr Albert Ruffo is a practicing attorney in San
Jose, and was a member of the Board of Trustees
from 1961-71, serving as its Chair in 1965-67
Dr Raymond Rydell is Executive Vice Chancellor
emeritus He served CSUC as a member of the
faculty and administration for twenty-one years
until his retirement in 1969 Dr Rydell was also
professor of history and an administrator at both
California State University, Los Angeles and North
ridge
Each of the above is a person whose integrity
and objectivity I know to be beyond question Each
is committed to a fair and objective process, arid
comes to this task without preconceptions or expectations as to outcome
In order for this evaluation process to be truly
fair and objective, the cooperation of all major, constituent groups on the Fresno campus is going to
be required I urge you to consider this, and to work
for widespread cooperation amnd commitment to
the integrity of this process among your colleagues
Ihe review panel will conduct its evaluation
within a specified procedure, described below, and
in an independent manner A staff member from my
office, Mr. Gary Levine, has been desiginated to
work directly for the review panel
The review panel will begin immediately in order
to provide a report to me in early January I will
submit the findings and recommend any necessary
actions to the Trustees at their meeting later that
Because this is a personnel matter, it must be
clearly understood that proceedings and reports of
the review panel will be confidential This office will
have no further role in the matter until the report
is completed
The chair of the review panel will convene a
meeting of the president and a group consisting of
one representative each from the campus academic
senate student body association non-academic
staff, alumni, and advisory board to identify a list
erf individuals to be contacted in the process ol
evaluating the performance of the president
The review panel may add additional names to
the list when in its judgment such action is necessary
to ensure that a full range of information is obtained
Each constituent group is requested to select
its representative to attend this meeting in accordance with its own procedures The meeting will
be held during the second week of November, so it
is important that representatives be identified
quickly
Please send or telephone the names of the representatives from your group to Mr Gary Levine
The California State University and Colleges, 400
Colden Shore, Long Beach, California 90802 (8-635
5712 or (213) 590-5712) by Monday, Nov 6
The list that results from the meeting of consti
tuent represenuiives and the president should
contain a representative cross-section of appi
mately 30-40 individuals
Persons identified should occupy or have occupied
positions in which they were in a position to interact
with and observe the president over time
The president will be asked to prepare a self-
assessment document outlining his objectives upon
assuming office and analyzing progress in achieving
those objectives
The review panel will be responsible for developing survey instruments to be used in the evaluation process. Those individuals identified by the
constituent groups and the president will be asked
to complete and return their responses to the panel
by a specified date
The survey instruments will have three purposes.
First, they will help to assess the general climate on
the campus and to gain an overall view of perceptions of the president's performance. Second,
they will provide a method by which individuals
may express their views to the panel. Third, the instruments will be useful in identifying additional
issues which the review panel should consider.
The data received from these instruments will be

Krebs then said he definitely favored
limitations on campaign expenditures,
'and you can show that this office can't
be bought when you vote.*
On the question of national health
insurance, Pashayan said that he felt
the key quest ion was whether or not a
national health plan would involve a
huge federal bureaucracy.
*l reject any plan based on that
approach,* he said. "Do we want to try
to solve our problems by creating
another huge federal organization with
the power to Interfere with our lives?'
Pashayan supports national health
insurance funded through tax credit,
with hospital bills being paid for out
of income tax
Krebs called Pashayan's plan 'simplistic' and 'double talk *
"Has it ever occurred to my opponent
that you need money to pay those bills,
and when you're in the hospital you
have no income?* he asked.
When the question of the Disney
the Mineral King area came up again,
Krebs went on the record as opposed
-When you want to talk about pay in- -| hope history views kindly my ef-
creases and you  haven't worked  in       fort, t0 preserve that beautiful alpine

Organization when these organizations
did not in tact endorse pashayan
•Anybody that knows a thing about
the veteran's organization knows they
are non-political," Krebs said. 'Mr.
Pashayan persistently and cnrolstentty
applies this pattern of Nixon/McCarthy
campaigning.'
At the beginning ot the question and
answer period, Pashayan responded to
Krebs accusations regarding the John
Birch Society, saying only, *l don't
belong to it I don't repudiate their
support They have a right to support
whoever they want.'
Pashayan then responded to a question regarding campaign spending
limits by telling the audience that
Krebs had recently voted himself a
large pay raise.
He also said he was opposed to campaign spending limitations because he
felt they favored the incumbent, who
has constant media exposure by vtrtue
of his office.
Krebs responded by telling the audience that Pashayan hadn't held a job
in three and one-half years, and added.

The challenger. Republican Chip Pashayan
charge and countercharge dealing not
only with issues but also personalities.
The tone of the debate was set by
Pashayan who used the opportunity of
speaking first to accuse Krebs of lying
to leaders of the Mexican American
Political Association (MAPA) by telling
them that he supported the h lingual
ballot when in fact such was not the
Pashayan quoted a statement from
the Visalia Times/Delta wherein Krebs
stated that he did not favor a bi-lingual
ballot
'This Is one of the dirtiest, most unfortunate sides of politics,' Pashayan
said 'It says a* far back as the boy
scout manual that leaders should be
good examples, not the reverse.*
Pashayan also said in his opening
statement that he considered inflation
the number one worry of the country
He blamed Congress for authorizing
too many dollars, but said that the primary cause of inflation was Congress
deficit spending
'We need a congress that spends
what it takes in,' he said. 'If we're going to finance a democracy we need to
be above board about it and raise
taxes.*
Pashayan then concluded his opening statement by voicing support for
Disney's proposed development of
Mineral King
In  his  opening   statement,   Krebs
he misstated his position
Krebs then launched Into an assault
on Pashayan, who 'drifted from job to
job in the federal bureaucracy" and had
conducted 'the most deceitful campaign ever held in Fresno county. *
My opponent has been an embarass-
ment to most decent thinking Republi
cans.'Krebs added.
Telling the audience that Pashayan
was a paid functionary on the committee to re-elect Nixon in 1972, Krebs
said, 'and he learned his lesson well.
The only thing he hasn' t learned is that
1978 Is not 1972 *
Krebs then accused Pashayan of
using false endorsements in his campaign, saying that Pashayan had
claimed the support of the King's
County Senior Citizens Organization
and   the   King's   County   Veterans'
