uable Ume listening to some¬
thing that ls basically cut and
dried anyway? •
■Oh, are we having a convo¬
cation today? What'* a convoca¬
tion? •
The»e are Just a few of the
comment* one might hear from
students concerning the convoca¬
tion to take place Wednesday.
And, unfortunately, they ara aU
Justified comments. In the past,
far too few students have even
known what a convocation ls, let
alone desired to attend.
Basically, a convocation ls the
first formalized meeting of the
students, faculty and administra¬
tion. But Is ls much more than
this. It represents a chance tor
the students of this campus to
gather ln one assemblage to lis¬
ten to the president of the col¬
lege, Dr. Frederic W. Ness,
speak directly to them, on an
area of campus Ufe that should
It ls also a chance for students
of basically divergent Intellectual
Interests to gather In one area
and feel bonded together by a
worthwhile program of common
Interest to aU.
The president of the student
body wUl also be there to ad¬
dress students on the meaning of
the convocation.
So, I make a request to every¬
one to attend this convocation
tomorrow at 10 a.m. ln the
amphitheater.
Classes will be dismissed, so
bring your Intellectual curiosity,
your Interest, but most impor¬
tantly, bring yourself.

the democratic process in Ger¬
many, said Hanna Klep, women's
affairs secretary for theGerman

Mrs. Klep spoke on 'Women
ln Today's Germany* Monday,
under Joint sponsorship of the
Fresno State CoUege Board of
Fine Arts, Associated Women
Students, The Fresno Bee,* KM J
and KMJ-TV.
Mrs. Klep explained that after
World War U, women resumed
th* relatively prominent role they
occupied in German political We
prior to the National Socialist
government.
She cited that membership by
women ln the Bundestag, the
federal legislature, has reached
10 per cent. Women ln other areas
of the german federal government
average about two per cent of
the total number of employees.
This compares favorably to
other areas of Ihe world, she
noted. The average figure tor
European women ln elected office
is only five per cent, whU* in
the United States It ls only two
Mrs. Klep said about half the

in various political organiza¬
tions. The chief goal of these
organizations ls adult education

Library Hours
To Be Studied
The extension of library hours
of all the CaUfornla State Col¬
leges was suggested at the State
Board of Trustees' meeting ln
Sacramento.
Rob Jeacock, CaUfornla State
CoUege Student Presidents' As¬
sociation's research assistant,
reported that he and Ernie Kin¬
ney, student body president, wUl
"look Into" the matter tor FSC.
Jeacock also stated "Task
Force 6," CSCSPA's proposal
for budgeting, wUl probably be an
agenda Item at the next Board of
Trustees' meeting Dec. 1 and 2.
"Anybody who smokes,* Dr. Mas-
ten warned, "should buy and read
these report*. An Informed per¬
son ls less likely to smoke.*
Th* doctor admitted lt might be
Impractical to keep cigarettes out
ot the bookstore. He said that
those addicted to 'thepractically
narcotic habit* will buy cigar¬
ettes off campus. "But we should
be making some efforts to make
cigarettes less avaUable to young
people."
Cigarette manufacturers, by
mutual agreement, have throttled
back on advertising campaigns
designed to lure young people in¬
to the smoking habit. But th*
cancor society ls now increasing
efforts to flush out the remaining
enUcers and suppliers who make
lt easy and attractive for young
people to smoke.
Mrs. Fosse said, -Woarepar¬
ticularly concerned at the statis¬
tics which show that people who
started to smoke before sge 20
have substantially higher death
rats* than those who waited until
after 25." Mrs. Fosse quoted the
1,000 per cent higher death rate
from lung cancer for smokers,
a 500 per cent higher Incidence
of bronchitis and emphysema, snd
70 per cent more deaths from
coronary disease.
The cancer society spokesmen
agreed that the decision on the
association's responslbUity for
student health U a matter In¬
volving the association's consci¬
ence. The role of the cancer so¬
ciety, they pointed out, Is simply
to make known the overwhelming
evidence against cigarettes.
