Yamamoto Lauded
Editor:
Yes, wo can all agree that Ron
Jordan and Jerry Palladtoo have
limited chances tor election If
we agree wlto the reasoning ex¬
pounded by 'concerned.*
Yes, toe sombreros are in Uie
ring and the B.S. (Big Show or
Big Snow or B.S.) Is being pUed
higher and deeper to the form of
promises. Weldmer wants many
things In general and Yamamoto
wants a few things In general
(Don't we aU).
Yes, we aU agree that there are
very few things that a candidate
can promise to do before he Is
elected. This Is especially true
now that wo have a new constitu¬
tion. We must learn to grow under
lt.
Yes,
leadership draws out the feelings
of the students and channels their
efforts towards the presentation
of Issues. Yamamoto Is the only
qualified candidate In the race.
Yamamoto reflects in Spirit the
majority of the campus. The
Greeks respect him, the dormles
and Independents appreciate his
sincerity towards their acUvlUes
and Interests In student govern¬
ment, and his friends honor tho
friendship and look forward with
they know that no matter where in
the campus community they come
from they wUl find a warm leader
to talk to and an effective leader
to got toe balls rolling.
Yes, U Weldmer Is elected, I
feel that he will represent his
fraternity only. In essence, he
will be like Kinney who visited a
dormitory function for the first
time since he campaigned one
year ago at Homan HaU (Big In¬
terest?), and now I feel that the
Insensitive Weldmer can offer no
Yamamoto offers Integrated
leadership without ballooned
promises. I look forward to see¬
ing Yamamoto as the next presl-
'Leaders' Absent
Editor:
There Is something darkly
symbolic In the fact that, during
the present ASB election cam¬
paign, a significant number of our
the highly Important budget ses¬
sion of the Student ExecuUve
Committee. One can only assume
that such a gross example of
magisterial absenteeism has set
toe election campaign In its
proper perspective. The execu¬
tive meeting in question dealt
wlto a weighty matter: toe tenta¬
tive allocation of some $11,000
of student acUvlUes funds. But,
sad to say, lt seems that such key
figures as our CoUege Union
Commissioner, our Commis¬
sioner of Atoletlcs, our Com-
mlsloner of PubUcatlons, Uie In-
terfraternlty CouncU President,
and toe PanheUenic President
(inter alios) were simply too
preoccupied to attend. They were
so concerned with important mat¬
ters that they even taUed to send
proxies. Make i

ltl These are toe very people
who continually harp about more
student Involvement ta college
affairs. To cite an example at
random, toe present Commis¬
sioner of PubUcatlons promised
In her platform statement last
spring to "meet criticism with
action." At present, her words
ring false to toe peerless bell of
The above-mentioned culprits
what I like to call 'The Establish¬
ment." Generally speaking, this
august sphere ot influence tends
to pick and choose from among its
eligible campaign fodder its var¬
ious candidates for the several
ASB poslUons, using an archaic
and time-worn criterion. The
paramount question of selection
has little or nothing to do with a
given individual's responslbUlty
or devoUon to duty. Rather, he Is
ultimately chosen on the basis of
his popularity with respect to the
powers that be, his zeal for main¬
taining the status quo, etc., etc.,
ad guzzlo-um, ad belch-um. And
If this criterion doesn't work,
•Tho Establishment* decides
upon that peculiar soul who of¬
fends the least, as a sidelight,
it's interesting to note that when a
"picked* and/or 'safe* candidate
points to his Invariably long list
of St
■s (his re
allegiance to The Establishment.
These facts may not cause very
many citizens of FSC to inquire
carefully Into the comparative
merits of the several candidates
for the ASB Presdency, but, as
for me, I choose to foUow the

Answers 'Concerned'
Editor:
It is heartening to know that
•Concerned* has taken time to
look at toe candidate for student
body president and realized that
Yamamoto and Weldmer are toe
frontrunners. But toe letter is
obviously antl-Yamamoto and
pro-Wetdmer. 'Concerned's*
berating of Yamamoto was un¬
founded. If 'Concerned* had done
some searching, he would have
learned that Yamamoto has
spoken to over 20 groups tols
week. He hasn't been beating toe
band over Issues because he re¬
alizes that our new constitution
must be well imbedded into stu¬
dent government before action is
taken on less Important and re-
Only a man with the Intelligence
and leadership qualities of Yama¬
moto can effectively do the Job of
Implementing the consUtuUon.
Yamamoto also has the abUlty to
Increase student participation to
government and use Uie Influence
of the presidency to fight for
matters as remote as faculty
salaries. He has avoided thedls-
cusslon of specific Issues be¬
cause their Importance Is highly
vulnerable to change. If you think
he Is Ignorant of problems at
school you aro wrong. He has
made concerted efforts to learn
all he can about them.
This letter would be a mUe

Editor:
It has been stated that I am a
"protest candidate*. In a limited
sense this Is true. I am suggest¬
ing reforms, and taoreforo I am
protesting. And as a reformer, I
am perhaps even more serious
As an example, I question tho
I am certainly not taking Issue
with Its revolutionary' qualities,
oversights committed by tho
authors ot the document in falling
to recognize that the ultimate
authority on campus Is the col¬
lege president. After all, we must
face the fact that the only power
the association has is given to lt
by the president—condltlonaUy.
How can we expect Dr. Ness to
approve the bylaws as they now
stand, since they do not recognize
his own authority.?
The whole problem :
have arisen because no one In
student government was awareof
the structure of toe California
State CoUege system or of the
Implications Inherent In toe by¬
laws. I beUeve that students de¬
serve more than tols sort of In¬
stitutionalized Incompetence, and
this Is why I am running for ASB
President.

ship. Weldmer's leadership ac¬
UvlUes started a year ago. He's
stUl wet behind the ears. Yama¬
moto's Intelligence and sincerity
become apparent when he
speaks to you. Weldmer's sin¬
cerity Is questionable to say toe
least. He cares less about anyone
who lsnt a means to an end. I also
question his motives for running.
They lean more toward "self"
than toward "school." He also
becomes easily excited and dis¬
couraged underpressure. If these
are the qualities needed for stu¬
dent body president, Weldmer
is the man tor the Job.

ta Thursday's DaUy CoUegian
a letter appeared criticising
three of toe candidates seeking
the office of Student Body Presi¬
dent. The brunt of toe criticism
was directed toward Gary Yam-
moto, and I feel that Gary's side
should now be heard.
Gary Yamamoto was pictured
as an Inactive'do-gooder* who Is
content to ride wlto toe tide. Ob¬
viously Uie writer of toe lotter
has never had toe opportunity to
work under Gary and see the drive
and dynamic leadership potential
of tols candidate.
Gary Is not a newcomer to stu¬
dent government but has been
acUve tor his entire three years
at Fresno State. In tols Ume be
has gained a full understanding
of campus politics and useful
experience ta the operations of
government. The writer of
Thursday's letter states that
Dave Weldmer has been running
for the presidency for two or
three years but still isn't quali¬
fied for the Job. Gary Yamamoto
has spent toe past two or three
years not running for the office
but actively participating to stu¬
dent government and Is ready to

The new constitution delegates
toe responsibility of organizing

most votes. It would be of par¬
ticular value to toe class U

working knowledge of his class,
its problems and toe best ways of

didate who is currenUy on toe

this is a prime qualification tor
being an effective senator-

As a member of toe coUege

My campaign position Is not
based on the question of what I
can do tor you to student govern¬
ment, but what student govern¬
ment can do tor you through me.
Student government assumes that
we, toe students, receive educa¬
tion not merely through thoughts
of •learned men', but by express¬
ing our own thoughts through ap¬
propriate action. Thusly, we
learners find ta student govern¬
ment a forum organized tor ex¬
pression of our thoughts. By par¬
ticipating In such government—
on class level or student body
level; by leading or foUowing—
we learners are not only taking
greater advantage of educaUonal
opportunities, but we are also
creating thorn.
It Is my opinion that the Junior
Class is toe most Important class
on tols campus. It takes part to
more activities than any other
class, Including toe slave sale,
Jr.-Sr. Prom and corsage sales
before Homecoming.
My main objective Is to pro¬
mote the Jr.-Sr. Prom. The other

Inefficiency and general dis¬

backs to the FresnoState CoUege

nels, this situation can be quickly
rectified.
Better notification of coming
Intramural events and morepub-
Uclty relating to present events
and to current overall standings
of both fraternity and independent

which must be accompUshed dur¬
ing toe foUowing year.

Gary believes firmly that toe
