For Edwin "Buzz* Aldrin It

the second man on the moon, was
In Fresno Thursday for the Kings
View Foundation awards dinner.
After Aldrtn returned from the
moon, several, changes occurred
In his life which led to the de¬
pressions.
•Before "the flight I had been
determining all along what my life
would be like," he satd. "Alter
the flight, I found that for at least
six months or longer people were
telling me what to do."
His life became one of people
telling him to go on trips and
make speeches. He did not like
questions such as "What did It
. leel like?" because people would
want *some philosophical an¬
swer," he said.
Aldrin said that prior to land¬
ing on Ihe moon, his life had been
"one successive goal alter an¬
other." He said he became "suc¬
cess oriented," which did not
make him a very good loser.
Instead or having only one goal
has picked eight or lb objectives
to reach for. "None of which
1 would probably satisfy me by
themselves," he said.
at times, said he decided to make
the story about his depressions
public In the hope or helping oth¬
ers.    He also wanted to tell the
. story or what astronaut activities-
were really like Instead or Ihe
"rose-tinted glasses story" that
I the public usually received.
Aldrtn's strongest object ts to
alleviate  the stigma associated
with   treatment    for nervous
breakdowns.
A breakdown, he said, Is "not
something that leaves a person
wllh scars or handicaps."   The

Aldrin satd that he does not be¬

"I Just hope you can bring some
money back into ethnic studies,"
• formef CSUF Asian Studies In¬
structor Rita Yee said Friday.
. Yee, whose teaching Job was
ended recently by School of So¬
cial Sciences Dean Charles
Denlon because of the class's
allegedly small enrollment (15
students), is protesting the ac¬
tion, which she says reflects the
university's unconcern for mi¬
nority students.
She was talking with Assembly¬
woman. March Fong (D-Oakland),
a Chinese-American woman run¬
ning for secretary of state. Fong,
the only woman competing for a
major statewide office In the
November general election, leads
her Republican opponent Brian
Van Camp by a substantial mar¬
gin, according to a recent Field
poll.
•Just hold your peace until we
get a new governor and things are
going to change,* satd Fong. And
she recounted a recent speech
by Gov.  Reagan In which,  she
said, he chided the Democratic
ballot that Includes a black can¬
didate for lieutenant*, governor

"I know what you've been going
through for eight years," said
The assemblywoman who gained
recognition as well as' chuckles
In her campaign to ban pay
toilets, told CSUF students In
the Free Speech Area that such
dissatisfaction points up the need
for more public participation In
politics.
Fong said one move she would
make In the secretary of.state's
office would be to create if state¬
wide system of computerized
voter registration. Persons would
then be able to re-register
through the mall, she said.
Although the legal voting age
. has been reduced to 18, the num-

significantly. Fong said mea¬
sures such as this would make It .
easier for the voter andljoosltue^
voting roll.
After her speech, Fong fielded
questions from students. A stu¬
dent asked Fong, who served on
the Alameda County School Board,
what could be done to upgrade
what the student found to be a .
deteriorating high school inOak-
land. She criticized what she con¬
sidered a lack of concern by
school officials.
•Why don't you get on the
school board?" asked Fonf. Whan
the student said ber legal resi¬
dence Is Fresno1, she told ber
to "get your parents on It, then."
"One person can make a dif¬
ference,' said Fong. "If there's
one thing I've learned, it's that
one person or-a few people can
get together and make a lot of dif¬
ference In this state."
She cited Edmund Brown, the
currant secretary of state, as an
example of one person's Influence

the position was "low profile*
and did little bur housekeeping.
Besides voter registration al¬
