a rough and tumble,hard-hitting,

named Wolfman ("Hotscha,

Communications Commission.

on how Jack fared In his bid for
high office but the rationale of
California's Prohibition Party
would probably apply here: It's
not whether you win or lose that
counts; it's the gesture.
Wolfman, like the rest of his
coUeagues In the doubtful bus¬
iness of disc-Jockeying, plays
records. They are usuaUy of the
James Brown-Ray Charles-Bo
Dlddley genre. They are by Ne-
gores, of Negroes and for
Negroes. The words, tunes,
voices and concepts are Afro-
American, bluesy and full of that
Intangible asset called "soul.*

some say) are definite violations
of FCC regs. Admittedly, XERB

Off-campus apartments
Housing policy is revised
la tomorrow's Dally CoUegian
discussing student feelings on
Off campus housing.)
By BOB GLASS
The CoUege Housing Office ls
taking steps to revise Its off-
campus housing policies estab¬
lished In 1964, according to W.D.
Albright, dean of students.
"We cannot take the poslUon
that we do not have any respon-
slbUlty for the welfare of the
student Uving off campus," he
said. "We have Just as much
concern for their well-being as
for the students living on cam¬
pus."
Referring to the recent articles
In The Daily CoUegian about off-
campus apartments, Dean Al¬
bright said the college respects
the student's freedom to express
his opinion and his right to ques¬
tion such things as rental rates
charged for bousing.
•We have a free press on cam¬
pus - we do not try to teU our
students what to think," Dean
Albright added.
But in regard to the coUege's
policy on off-campus housing, he

A goal of 5,000 cans of food
for the North Avenue Community
Center has been set by the Cam¬
pus Christmas Charity Drive
slated for Dec. 12-15.
This was decided at an organi¬
zational meeting last Tuesday at
the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority
Canned food for the drive may
be left at any sorority house or
in a depository box that will be
between the Library and Educa¬
tion-Psychology BuUdlng.

Peace Corps

card benefits
Peace Corps volunteers train¬
ing at Fresno State College will
be granted student body privi¬
leges, upon showing their Peace
Corps identifications cards.
The Board of Directors ap¬
proved the request for such privi¬
leges by Student President Gary
Yamamoto lastTuesday. He noted
that the trainees' per diem "sal¬
ary" of $1.25 ls not sufficient to
allow them to take part In FSC
Dean of Students W. Donald
Albright and President Frederic
W. Ness said that whUe few
acUvltles   (theater  productions,
scheduled so the Peace Corps
volunteers may take part (be¬
cause of Ume schedules), the As¬
soc laiion "cannot lose much In
profits but stand to gain a great
deal In good will."
Dr. George ng, director of the
Peace Corps project and princi¬
pal vocational instructor of agri¬
culture, did not request the ex¬
tension of student prlvUeges for
the trainees. He did ask, however,
that they be represented on the
residence hall food councU and
send a non-voting delegate to
Inter-Club CouncU, so the vol¬
unteers may share In the
"workings of the coUege."
Recognizing the rapid student
growth at Fresno State In 1964,
the housing office began formu¬
lating policies and requirements
that off-campus bousing units
should have to ■suitably"accom¬
modate students.
A pamphlet entitled "Fresno
State College Standards (or Off-
Campus Apartments" set forth
the services of the CoUege Hous¬
ing Office and standards required
for apartments to be Hated with
the college.
ply with the college's required
standards he should first talk It
over with the apartment owner.
"We cannot run around con¬
stantly checklDC t<> see that bous¬
ing units are meeting coUege
standards," Horrall said. This
would require a much larger staff
than we have now and cost the stu¬
dent  more for such services.*

housing list,
The bousing office has no other
power to reprimand apartment
owners. In most cases the owner
probably would not car* ooe way

The "Up With People" program, made famous by

Walt Disney has hailed "Sing Out '68* as "the
happiest most hard-hitting way of saying what
America's aU about that I have ever seen or heard."

Earle Bassett, general mana¬

directors that the sub-bids were
opened Nov. 8 and no bid was re¬
turned for demoUtlon of the
present patio area and for con¬
crete. However, those returned

said, untU Garman and Associa¬
