Kinney Must Seek Student Views
Perhaps the biggest example of this attempt to get more students
Involved Is the new student constitution.
But while Mr. Kinney Is advocating more student participation, he
Is still letting the hierarchy of the administration rule him.
For Instance, the recommendation to name the new ball park after
Joe Dale Sr. was seconded by Mr. Kinney.
Why, we ask Mr. Kinney, did you not suggest to the board that this
could possibly be of Interest to the students and ask the board to lis¬
ten to student requests Instead of hastily making a decision to name
the park tor Dale? Or were you too governed by the emotion that sur¬
rounded the activities of Joe Dale Week?
If students are to have a voice In affairs in which they are Involved,
the student president, acting as a representative, must air their views.
A leader who does not support or Indicate the feeling of his consti¬
tuents soon loses the support of those constituents.
Therefore Mr. Klnnoy, we ask that you reconsider your action and
in turn ask the Board ofAthletlc Control to reconsider Its recommen¬
dation to have the park named for Dale. We urge that the park be
named tor Peter Belden.
We feel this action is In order since President Ness has said no
written recommendation has ever been presented him concerning this
There is no emotion Involved In our asking that the park be named
tor Belden, only the thought of the many tedious hours he has spent
while nurturing men Into baseball players and having this school
recognized as one which, because of its coach, produces some of the
most powerful baseball nines In the nation.
Let us remember Mr. Kinney that if more student participation Is
desired, an example must be set.

The Dally Collegian
"The responsibility for obtaining a reading period this semester
is placed squarely on the shoulders of Fresno State College stu¬
dents,' said Harvey Wallace, Dead Week committee chairman, when
he asked for more support of the reading period period plan at
last week's Executive Council session.
Then on Friday, student government officials notice that all the
signed petitions containing nearly 950 signatures were missing from
the Student President's Office.
Student body officers panicked; many felt someone had taken the
petitions to defeat Dead Week.
When an eager secretary read the Dally Collegian story yesterday,
She embarrassingly remembered she had taken the petitions home
with her following last week's meeting and had not returned them.
The petitions have still not been returned to the Student President's
Offlce-the secretary, to make up for her mistake perhaps, is circu¬
lating them at sororities.
