LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
What is this so-called 'apathy'?
One good thing came out of the primary campaign. A candidate
stood right up and defended student 'apathy.* And what's more, his
remarks weren't based on the election cliche that 'In Its present
state student government Is so mickey mouse that It doesn't deserve
Interest.' No, he Just pointed out that perhaps students do not par¬
ticipate because they have other things to do, things which are lm-
A Collegian reporter Interviewed Activities Dean Gordon Wilson
and Herm Howerton about this relatively quiet election and accord¬
ing to the reporter, one of the Ideas expressed was that the cause
for "apathy* was complex but boiled down to a lack of student In-
After this circular start, however, the pair got down to cases,
namely: that there is more academic pressure and students must
study harder; that student government Is also more demanding and
time consuming; and that perhaps real incentive will bo lacking until
students are given more say in policy decisions.
This seems to be the foundation of a very good appraisal of the
situation. Other factors which might be mentioned are that Fresno
State Is to a large degreeacommuter college, that a relatively high
proportion of students work as many as 40 hours a week and that
there are more married students here than on the average campus.
Part of the advertised pride of Fresno State has been the large
number of social, honorary and professional organizations on cam¬
pus—practically one for every taste. Yet these organizations too
demand time and energy from members that might otherwise be
devoted to student government.
All these factors seem to be legitimate reasons why students
may choose not to become Involved in government, but unfortunaflv
those who ARE involved loo often tend to imply there is something
vaguely unhealthy, undeslralile and unattractive about a student who

presidential candidate.'
This was tho general consensus
of students polled in a random
survey concerning the political
chances of a bearded candidate.
A candidate with a descriptive
quality of Lincoln, namely a
beard, could win the office of
ASB president and he shouldn't
be any more Incompetent than a
clean shaven fellow.

This veiled accusation is a downright shame. In the first place,
it ignores the right of the individual to choose what is important to
him. College, we have been told time and again, Is a place to explore
new realms and newldeas,nottOberegim«ated and told what Issues
are supposed to Interest us.
Another thing it overlooks are the contributions many students
make to the well-being and good reputation of the college that cannot
be classified under any Association activity.
Furthermore, this attitude antagonizes the poor "apathetic" stu¬
dent, driving him even farther away from government activities.
Finally, one of the main arguments used to support student gov¬
ernment is based on a shaky premise: that student government is
the best training for citizenship and that the apathetic student
grows up to bo an apathetic citizen. More and more college students
are over 21, exercise their voting rights and prefer activity in the
Main Event to spending more time in the Preliminaries.
Those who ARE active In student government and DO care about
student government are more than justified In doing so and deserve
the thanks and respect of the student tody whose Interests they pro¬
tect. However, they should respect the choice of the "apathetic*
student who hears and marches to a different drummer.

Student politics took a new
turn at San Jose State College
recently when Playboy Mag¬
azine's Nancy Scott, who graces
the March, 19G4, centerfold, filed
an application for two student
body offices. Miss Scott, who
visited the campus as a guest of
the Sigma Nu Fraternity, had
little to say regarding her plat¬
form, but the Spartan Dally noted
that 'm*ny campaign pictures
might be found in the March
1934 issue of Playboy.*

impression was so deep that cus¬
todians estimate it will cost$150
to refinlsh each hallway, and pro¬
fessors say that skaters have
even driven off a class that was
meeting  on the dormitory roof.
Campus police have been try¬
ing to apprehend the offenders,
but so far the culprits have
managed to scatter before of¬
ficers reached the scene. How¬
ever, it appears that the new
