California State University, Fresno The Daily—— Collegian Tfcarsday Nov. 7,1985 "A TASTE OF HONEY" BEGINS- Party policies reviewed Pros and cons of fraternity issue met with 'dead silence' A move to discuss the pros and cons of open parlies at CSU F fraternities was met with dead silence from fraternity pres¬ idents attending Wednesday night's Intra- fraternity Council meeting at the Theu Chi fraternity house. The silence iseither apathy or unwilling¬ ness to uke positive, preventive measures against open party incidents in the future," said Lambda Chi Alpha president Mike Manouel, who made the move. Afler chi ng thc potential dangers connec¬ ted with open parties, Manouel urged the presidents to discuss party policies. Lambda Chi is thc only fraternity with a Counterproposal for grad date-: gradua n falls. Members of the Associated Students Public Affairs Committee met yesterday with Dr. David Clark, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs, the man who designed this year's academic calendar. Focus of the Committee's discussion ' with Clark was the scheduling of this May's commencement exercises during final exam week and odds for getting the date changed until after finals are over. The Committee, which met lo devise a counterproposal to the graduation date of May 17 adopted by the administration, did propose as expected, to have gradua¬ tion ceremonies on May 24. This counterproposal is outlined in a letter that's being forwarded to CSUF President Harold Haak. Haak makes the final determination about on what day Student officials are banking on Haak's approving their proposal. Said Sen. John Love, School of Business, "He's probably the most student-oriented president we've had in a long time, probably ever." Clark described Haak as a man. who listens to his supporting administrators and who is "willing to abide by recom¬ mendations." He also said it's possible for the date to be changed. "1 sec no reason at all that it can't be changed," Clark told the Committee. But, he noted, "We are operating on personal preference." He explained that, while the date of graduation may be altered, the academic calendar would probably be immune to change. It's "pretty well fixed," he said. Clark said that he devised the academic calendar and submitted it for approval, disclaiming responsibility for iu makeup. "There's a host of all kin some of them irreconciable." said Clark. H e constructs a proposal, circulates it and the Academic Policy and Planning Com¬ mittee approves it for Haak's consider¬ ation. After Haak certifies it, the Chancel¬ lor's Office approves it and then the Sute Controller's Office looks over things. "One of the most common requests I have is to break up the final examina¬ tions." said Clark. This year the finals are split up with some coming before the wee¬ kend of May 17 and some after. Thc last day of finals testing is Wednesday, May 21. But this kind of schedule was arrived at with plenty of examples to choose from.

But in theater, he said, "you have to make sure your head is screwed on right, and just when you think you've got it screwed on right someone throws a monkey wrench in the works." But Bass, 27, has left his cautiousness behind and is now plunging head on into his chosen profession. Now in his third semester at CSUF, he has acted in several department plays and is currently direct¬ ing three one-act plays for Ihe student-run Experimenul Theater Company. The story of how Bass got his sUrt in theater begins about eight years ago in Fairbanks, Alaska. When he was 19, Bass was living .in St. Louis, Missouri. He decided that he needed a change, so he moved to Alaska. While studying at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, he became interested in drama and hooked up with the Fairbanks Drama Association where he worked for four years under the direction of Ella Gerber, a nationally recognized director. It was Gerber, Bass said, who con¬ vinced him to pursue acting as a career. She has been the most influential person in his life, he said. "She lived 100 percent for the theater," said Bass. "She was 62 yean old and had the energy of a 12-year-old." Gerber told Bass that he should go to London and study drama. He took her advice, and went to London through an overseas program offered by a New York u nivarsity and studied for • year/' After his first year, Bass decided to do some professional using and "got into an original pity in a pub. It was nothing glamorous — the juke box was playing (during the performance) and there were eight people in the show and sometimes only four in the audience," he said. "What we would call off, off, off, off, ofT, off, broadway." He said he earned the equi¬ valent of about $4 for his two months of work on the play.
