A Forgotten Incident?
California State Colleges, though they are
under the wraps of one board and are supposed¬
ly able to get along with each other, are con¬
stantly bickering. __
Earlier this school year, San Francisco State
pulled out its forces from the California State
College Student Presidents Association.
The most recent development is a charge by
California State College at Los Angeles news¬
papermen that Ed Gregory, FSC basketball
mentor, should be suspended for his action in
the CSC LA-FSC basketball encounter in mid-
January.
An editorial in the school newspaper asks
the suspension, adding that suspension is too
good for the FSC coach.
They contend that it was Gregory who nearly
"encited a riot" during a scuffle between
Gregory and CSCLA player Bill Nolan. The
Diablo paper contends that Gregory "walked
right into the path of the Diablos as they were
making their way to their bench" during a time¬
out.
The story as we heard it was that during the
timeout Gregory was turned around by one
CSCLA player, then kicked in the seat of the
pants.
Local and CSCLA officials have long consid¬
ered the case closed,- but because of Diablo
hewspaper reports many students are not will¬
ing to close the case until Saturday.
Dean Gordon Wilson is so convinced that
FSC students will go beyond the bounds of rib¬
bing Nolan that he expounded before Student
Council Wednesday night reminding the council
of a riot that occurred at the University of
Portland three years ago.
Though we encourage the ribbing of Nolan
and the entire CSC LA squad, we are hesitant to
endorse any such action.
Students, like any group, are likely not to do
anything rash when in small numbers, but in
large groups, students are unpredictable.
Ironically, students have displayed their apa-
thetical attitude throughout the year on such
important subjects as student body cards and
tuition fees, but immediately become inspired
over a small incident that officials of both
schools have forgot.
The way the Bulldogs played against the
Diablos last time, it seems the harrassment
may aid the home team. But, we must not go
beyond harrassment.

Here And There
By BOB WHITE
The closest town of any size to
the north of IT along Highway 1 Is
Santa Crux. Santa Crux, where
once each year tears of Joy roU
down the cheeks of a beautiful
girl   as   she   Is  crowned  Miss
are 15 cents, where boardwalk
concessionaires challenge tour¬
ists to "win your girlie a teddy
bear," where well-formed and
not-so-well-formed girls In
bikinis swing down the beaches.
A few mUes closer to IT are the
sleepy little towns of Soquel and
Aptos, where people over 85-
tlred retired old people who have
saved their pennies—go to spend
their remaining days.
SUU closer are Watsonvllle,
with Its road-side fruit stands
where plums can be purchased
(a quarter a basket) and Castro-

north of IT, along Highway 1,
hillsides and fields belonging to
commercial flower farms wear
beautiful coats of red, purple,
yeUow and blue, and balloon-
tired *dune buggies" caper
across white sand dunes per¬
forming their humorous antics.
A short distance south of IT
nestle the small towns of Mon¬
terey, Pacific Grove and Carmel.
Carmel Is a quaint and quiet little
village to which almost every
word synonymous with "serene"
can be applied. There are no
flashing neon signs there, no dis¬
carded paper blowing across the
street, no noise except the surf
chasing sun bathers to a higher
place on the beach, and small
bells thlnkllng as glftshop doors
are opened. No live music Is al¬
lowed there, and tavern keepers
must pay a license fee of $1,000
a year if they wish 4o have a Juke
box In their establishments.
Pacific Grove Is an equally
quiet little community, where,
although the prlceof possessing a
Juke box Is not quite a

tourists to see-Its harbor, where

men brought their day's catch,

It possible for a visitor to search
all day and all night for a place
to buy an alcoholic drink or a
bottle of liquor without any suc¬
cess what-soever. Originally es¬
tablished as a religious com¬
munity, it is completely dry.
Within shouting distance (If
anyone dared) of Carmel and Pa¬
cific Grove rests Monterey, with
all     Its     magnificent     history
"So many mothers are giving
their sons," said Mrs. Mary
Epple of Denver, Colo., as the
flashbulbs popped, "the least I
can do Is donate my dog."
And so it was that Mrs. Epple
volunteered her pet, King, a 4-
year-old German shepherd, for
active duty to toe K-9 Corps In
Viet Nam.
Mrs. Epple's worthy gesture
raised a patriotic fervor across
the country. In Washington, Con¬
gressman Calhoun C. Clay called
it "a sterling example to the
growing rabble of shaggy dog
owners  who are ducking their
legislation tightening the present
student deferments for all dogs
attending obedience schools.

But perhaps the most moving
statement came from Mrs. Hom¬
er T. Pettlbone, national presi¬
dent of the Gold Star Dog Lovers.
"I am happy to say," said Mrs.
Pettlbone, glaring through her
steel-rimmed spectacles,* that

Equally moved was Mrs. Helen

They are capable of shooting a

This Is necessary! It Is neces¬

force these men to fight If toe

this reason, these men must be
taught to use any means at their

tame to Edison.
We're racing Southern California.
In the next 10 years, we'll serve an
estimated 2Vi million more people.
The race to keep pace, electrically,
demands creative engineering of the
highest order.
Edison is building a nuclear gener¬
ating plant at San Onofre, California. In
fact, our staff is already making plans
20 years ahead. Under study: thermi-
onics, thermoelectrics, magnetohydro-
dynamics, and other methods of direct
conversion that show promise for
tomorrow's power systems.
