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
