Committee questioned
Editor:
Since the formation of the "Blue
Ribbon Commtttee" aa an advis¬
ory board to Asian-American
Studies, I have questioned the
value, the validity, and the pur¬
pose of this committee. In The
Dally Collegian, In the Issue of
October 8, 1974, It was stated
thab •
The group Is to give its rec¬
ommendations on the future form
of Asian (American) Studies, at
CSUF as,well as the future ad¬
ditions or deletions In course
curriculum".
What will these recommenda¬
tions be? Where will these rec¬
ommendations lead? And what
effect will they have on the fu¬
ture of Asian-American Studies?
Included In the article was the
list of Asian Instructors In the
School of Social Sciences who are
-Steve Thorn, head of Asian
(.American) Studies, Dr. Maro
Cha, Dr. Sidney Chang, Dr. Shlen-
men Jen". Also on the commit¬
tee Is Dr. Izurol Tanlguchl, who
was not mentioned in the article.
These men make up the "Blue
Ribbon Committee*, with two stu¬
dent representatives to be ap¬
pointed by the Dean of the School
of Social Sciences, Charles Den-

ican Studies', Dr. Tanlguchl, past

the pleasure or the university

Why  s
t there other faculty
have no Idea of what Aslant

why are there only two student
representatives? And in parti¬
cular why must the Dean appoint i
these representatives?
Shouldn't there be equal repre¬
sentation of faculty members and
students knowledgeable or the
past and present status of Asian-
American Studies? So that the
future of this program can be
easily discussed without a lot or
wasted energy researching Its
history  to determine Its ruture

continued as a viable and neces¬
sary part of the Asian American
Studies Program. It ts our un¬
derstanding that there are a num¬
ber of courses offered at CSUF
with enrollments or less than
16 students.
The problem, therefore, can¬
not he only the matter of small
enrollment; rather, 1
question of your Judgment

A.S.A.M? 115 when compared to
these other small classes.
We submit that the Asian-
American minority, although
small in relative numbers, should
be considered very Important In
the total minority picture, and Its
welfare worthy of your best con¬
sideration, and not purely from

students, and to Ihe Asian-.
American minority as a whole;
all In the Interest or an eventual
easing, ir not solution, of minor¬
ity problems In general in the
United States.

A reply to Torre*
F.dltor:
I take strong exception to Jose
lion oftheStuderitCrlevance Pro¬
cedures. Had Mr. Torres been
Interested enough to attend Stu¬
dent Affairs Committee (SAC)
meetings last year, I Iwlieve he
would considerably change his
tone. If he did. he would have
known that President Baxter sup¬
ported the concept of student in¬
volvement  in  the   resolution  of
wouM commend Pres. Baxter for
disagreeing, with the complicated
legal jargon in the lirsl proce¬
dures passed by the Academic
Senate  In   1973.      Ills rejection
forced the SAC to forge an en¬
tirely new document that, In many
ways, Is much stronger, has more
support and benefits .the students
more than the 1973 dqcument.
In response to the specific al¬
legations, I can't help wondering
wherj all of this concern, was
last year while the document was
being written and approved - es--
peclally with the Inordinate
amount of coverage given to It
by the campus press. When the
document was first passed In
1973 there were no objections
from any sector that 1 can re¬
call regarding to representation.
Student body officers and sena¬
tors voiced no objections last
spring — but the Support Staff
Council did. At first they wanted
to be excluded from the document
altogether, but SAC refused —
citing that fact that students could
have grievances against staff and
that student representation was
needed In'the process. It soon
became apparent that we would
lose considerable support and
credibility with the Academic
Senate — even to the point of total
rejection of the document —if
support staff representation was
not Increased. This led to the
only non-unanimous vote (as t
recall) ever taken by the SAC:
to Increase representation for
.staff. I'personally voted a re-^
sounding no.
.. Some SAC members . argued
that students'recelveddlspropor-
tionate representation based on
student body enrollment. Stu¬
dents had only three members for
15,000 students while faculty and
stafr had two representatives each
for 1,0001,5000 people per group.
ther. all
o that when i
>e satis-
i board r
dered Its decisions all would rec¬
ognize that they were the results
of a fair and Impartial Inquiry.
And hopefully, all would abide by
the decisions recommended.
In essence, the more support
we acquired from all tactions,
the more everyone would respect
the board and the more credibili¬
ty it would have. Such credibility
Is vital to a body that may make
recommendations that might be
regarded as unfavorable by facul¬
ty, staff or administration.
-Further, the words ot the docu¬
ment clearly preclude any Iden¬
tification with such beasties as
"Kangaroo" or 'Mickey Mouse?:
If the decision of the committee
Is not appealed in writing to the
President of the University with¬
in five instructional days, thede-
clslon or the committee shall be
considered final." It should be
noted that these decisions are
recommendation to the.adminis¬
tration for action and that the
president Is responsible for their
Impllmentatlon, These words,
approved by the Academic Senate
and endorsed by the president,
clearly give the students all that
they can realistically a

If a stu¬
dent took a grievance to an admin¬
istrator and was told to go to

plained, the team needed more

backs, so he was moved from a
running back position to the left
side of the defensive line.
This has turned ouUo be a good
move, for because of Injuries the
