EDITORIAL
Many here at Fresno State CoUege like to think that we are differ¬
ent, better perhaps, than some of the bigger schools with all their
social problems.
It has been said that students are on campus to obtain an education
and are too Intelligent, rational and sensible to become Involved in
meaningless protests, picketing and pranks.
However, this 'golden* self Image was recenUy shattered on this
campus by one or more irresponsible students.
Meaningless pranks, or what Is commonly defended as 'fun', are
generally  accepted  as   a  part  of campus  life and are sometimes
However, when such a prank endangers property, and perhaps even
human life, then things have gone too far and action should be taken.
Fire drUls, though a nuisance on a college campus, are required by
state law. At our most recent building evacuation practice, one or
more students apparently decided that where there's a fire drill,
there might aa well bo a fire.
Such reasoning can only be described as Irresponsible. However, to
carry out this thought, a student proceeded to set a fire to a low hedge
directly east of the middle wing of tho science buUdlng. The fire was
started a mere IS feet from the buUdlng.
The blaze quickly flamed up to toe astonishment of those who were
standing around watching. Fortunately several unidentified individuals
quickly put out the blaze with fire extinguishers.
Contrary to common belief, the cement science buUdlng
There Is no such thing as a "fire proof structure, and those playing
with matches should be aware of this.
Several have speculated that the fire was started by a carelessly
discarded cigarette, but no cigarette could possibly generate the heat
required to cause green plants to burst Into flames.
The shorting out of underground wires Is equally Ulogical, as
oxygen is required before combustion wUl occur.
It should be realized that this fire was no accident. It was merely
a poor attempt at humor by some Irresponsible Individual.
Such malicious mischief could have easUy lead to serious property
damage and possible Injuries. Had lt got much bigger, the campus
and Fresno City Fire Departments would have been notified and
would have rolled on the alarm.
The Fresno Fire Department Is kept busy enough with fires of
accidental origin and should not have to be bothered by some Irre¬
sponsible collego prankster. Fortunately, they were not this time.
Such mischief Is expected around high schools, where by certain
standards, students are stUl rather Immature. However, when one
leaves high school and enters a coUege, he should leave such Im¬
mature and Irresponsible behavior behind and start acting like the
mature coUege student he Is supposed to bo.
Had this fire got out of control and the Fresno Fire Department
called to, the resulting fire Inspector's Investigation might well have
revealed who was responsible for this act. The consequences would
then have been quite serious.
Fortunately, the fire caused only minor damage, but toe potential
for a more serious situation was present. This fact should be taken
Into consideration before another act as JuvenUe and Irresponsible as
