Kinney has repeatedly written off apathy i
tor lack of student activism. During debates on tn
bylaws he continually refused to believe that apathy runs rampant at
Fresno State CoUege. Would be believe a total of 675 out of 8,0007
Rotten weather Is usually toe politician's scapegoat tor poor turn¬
outs at the polls. What does Kinney say? *I don't really attribute toe
small turnout to apathy. The weather was bad today.* According to
toe weather bureau, Fresno received a trace of rain last Monday.
Kinney admits his administration dropped tho bail by not contacting
the living groups ta advance of toe election. He said, *I know that at
least another 300 people would have voted Uwe had talked to toe living
groups.* At least that might have raised toe total to 975 voting com¬
pared to 7,100 not voting.
Dee Mosler, toe second half of Kinney's team, amazed Just about
everybody wlto her letter to The Dally CoUegian yesterday.
Miss Mosler repeatedly dragged her feet to the ad hoc committee
meetings she attended, especially when major innovations were Intro¬
duced to strengthen the bylaws. Her statement that toe students
"have toe potential to make progress through Instrumentation of tols
new document' is a Utile out of character. *I am proud to belong to
an association where the people recognize toe Inadequacies of toelr
form of government and have toe courage to embark on an Idea which
they believe to be better and more representative of toelr Interests
and goals,* Miss Mosler said. The above statement Is weU construct¬
ed, but It's very hypocritical.
To toe suggestion tost senators be elected from toe schools,
Miss Mosler was opposed. She continually desired to bold onto toe
old ways. To chart a new course for student government seemed
dangerous to her.
The dynamic duo of Kinney and Mosler appeared to part ways
during toe crucial meeting of tho Board ot Directors, which met to
approve the new bylaws before Easter. Miss Mosler failed to even
show at the meeting. Kinney said to an open letter to toe student* on
Mar. 29, • .. . although the vote may have not brought victory, lt had
to leave something to be desired when a student leader of second
rank to toe student government program does not show up at a meet-
tog of tols importance.*
Well, Mr. Kinney, maybe you should look to your own backyard
before you say there Isn't any apathy on our campus. It's poor
showmanship when toe president can't even get his vice president
to follow directions.
Apathy, although overworked, Is a truism at FSC. The new bylaws
are a step In toe right direction to alleviate toe situation, but they
aren't a cure-all tor toe lethargic masses on our campus. Maybe
Kinney can't see toe trees tor toe forest. Most of toe people Kinney
deals with are all active In student politics, but what about the other

Guest Editorial
College Student Is Like Plumber
There Is a myth that coUege students are an elite group; that col¬
lege students are toe core of an enlightened electorate; that because
. of toe mass of coUege students receiving degrees each year our so¬
ciety Is progressing.
In actuality, lt would seem coUege students are much akin to
plumbers, electricians and butchers—serving an apprenticeship to go
out Into the 'real society* and make those dollars. Pure and simple,
striving to get lt whUe lt Is there to get.
So the greedy Uttle businessmen, toe tUted-perspectlve engineers
and dear, sweet, almost school nannies—and on down toe line-
continue to add weight to toe theory that college Is a self-service
supermarket where people come to feed themselves.
Look at toe Interest level of the student voter. The eUte wUl elect
student union representatives Wednesday and Thursday. Drop by the
polls-lf you can get away from toe market for a whUe.

The Draft
Women Have Obligation
The rationale Uie government uses tor drafting
young men goes something like this: *A '
have an obligation to serve toelr country a	
country has done so much for them.* The exact
wording varies, but that pretty well sums up toe
general attitude.
Basically, we agree wlto the philosophy. However,
we do not agree that evory American has obligations
to flght to an undeclared war or waste two years
serving to toe peacetime army. We also agree every
American has some obligation - not Just every
American male.
Since women have every opportunity available to
men ta this country—the opportunity to vote, get an
education, and get a Job-It follows that they would
also have every obligation toe government Imposes
Obviously, women aren't going to fight to toe
Jungles of Southeast Asia, but there Is a multitude
of useful beneficial Jobs they could undertake that
would benefit American society. And we believe
they have an obligation to do so.
We also believe every American should be able to
choose, within certain limits, how he or she
can serve the country best. It seems obvious that
two years spent working to toe underdeveloped
countries ot Africa, Asia or Latin America does
more to benefit America and toe world than burning
villages to Viet Nam. It seems obvious that two
years spent working wlto migrant workers, slum
chUdren or disenfranchised Negroes would be ot
greater value to tols nation than spending two years
picking up cigarette butts and peeling potatoes ta
toe peacetime army. It seems obvious that there
are literally thousands ot Jobs that would be of
E. »ater value than mUitary service.
Yet Americans are r»
given toe opportunity to
don't have to choose and
men are offered no choice. Since 1962, thousands
of Americans, more than half ot them men, have
served throughout the world to toe Peace Corps.
Their efforts and, toe Peace Corps as a whole, have
been an unqualified success. Yet these men, who
have served toelr country tor two years, still face
toe draft. Other Americans have served to all parts
of toe world wlto church groups and private organ¬
izations, and they too are eligible tor military
service.
In Oils country, men and women are giving toelr
time to work wlto toe nation's poor to VTSTA (Volun¬
teers to Service to America) but tols work will
have no effect on toelr draft status.
The Peace Corps, VTSTA, toe Mississippi Sum¬
mer Projects, and a host of other projects show
that young Americans are willing to serve to a use¬
ful, meaningful way. And they should be given the
The government should begin a program now to
offer Americans an alternate to the draft. The first
step should be to make Peace Corps and VTSTA
service an alternate. After that Jobs to education,
nursing, public health, social work and community
organizing should be offered as alternated. Then
programs to construction, land reclamation,
preservation of natural resources and slum clear¬
ance should be created Tor Americans who don't
have the education for the more technical Jobs. And
finally, toe draft, for the military service alone,
should be eliminated.

Cartoon Termed 'Orfaf
Editor:
The editorial cartoon to The
Dally Collegian on Apr. 13 was
simply offal. The unknown author
of that scatology obviously puts
aa UtUe time Into his thinking as
he does Into his drawing. This
past semester The DaUy Col¬
legian has become a noteworthy
paper, but toe cartoon of Apr. 13
was an unfortunate departure
from your new found stature.
The cartoon shows a group of
activists Inviting SNCC to 'Come
sit on your hands wlto us.* In toe
group of activists are repre¬
sentatives ot various groups:
Vietnam Day Committee; peace
marchers;     SPEAC;     National
Farm Workers Association; and
the Hell's Angels. The cartoon
says that all ot these groups are
sitting
on tols campus.
Anyone who says that theVDC,
NFWA, or toe peace marchers
are not active haven't been read¬
ing the papers. The VDC has
been very active; so active ta
Berkeley that they were bombed
Just last week. NFWA has Just
finished a 300-mUe march from
Delano to Sacramento to drama¬
tize Its plight. It Is carrying on a
strike that encompasses a 400
square mUe area. That, our
blunderful artist, Is active. Why
in toe name of Robert Welch the
HeU's Angels were Included ta the
meaningless cartoon only our be-
wUdered artist knows for sure.
They no more belong to there
than toe DAR. Besides, no one
can say they aren't active. The
only organization left Is SPEAC,
and lt has, unfortunately, been
Inactive as of late, but that does
not Justify toe cartoon, nothing
could. The only redeeming char¬
acteristic ot toe cartoon Is that
it offends, and nothing that of¬
fends can be all bad.
Oh, by toe way, If The Daily
CoUegian needs help wlto edi¬
torial cartoons, lt could ask SNCC
or SPEAC, they might be wUltag
to help.

Fresno State CoUege wUl prob¬

tered by 1975-76, according to
revised enrollment projections
by California State College of¬
ficials.
The projections reveal a 85
per cent Increase over those
made last summer and have caus¬
ed an acceleration of requests tor
new buUdlng fends to accommo¬
date toe faster growth.

tions released by Chancellor of

Full-time equivalent (FTE)U
determined by dividing 15 by toe
total number of units taken by aU
students enrolled. Due to toe
part-time students taking less
than 15 units, the total enrollment
at toe coUege Is normally 20-25
per cent above toe FTE figures.
This semester FSC's total en¬
rollment Is 8,056 students
although toe FTE la only 6,800.

chanceUor's office predicts toe

jection calls tor an FTE ol 8,440.
