'Faculty Dips'
Editor:
I would like to be the very first
to place my application tor a
faculty position at Fresno State
College. I noticed In a recent
"DaUy CoUeglan* headline (Mon.,
May 1) that the "FSC FACULTY
(Is) RECRUITING DIPS.*
As a near high school flunk-
out and a long-haired hippie for
many years I believe that I am
qualified to fUl the position quite
admirably. My other qualifica¬
tions Include protest slogan writ¬
ing, antl-everythlng demonstra¬
tion leading and good ol'
American ■bad-mouthing* en¬
durance champion.

Opinion On Hippies
Editor:
I have been reading recently
the articles concerning the cam¬
paign for 'helping a Hippie.*
After thinking about this char¬
itable act, I began to wonder
about the motives Involved.
First of all, the leaders have
estimated an infusion of 250,000
hippies Into the Haight-Ashbury
district. They voice concern over
the Inadequate housing which
faces the newcomers. They want,
for example, paints and other
buUdlng supplies to recondition
the  already overcrowded slums
On the face of It, this enter¬
prise follows the notable achieve¬
ments of the Society of Friends
and the Salvation Army. However,
the question which entered my
mind was what the hippies wanted
from the society who was going
to supply their needs.
As far as I ran 'Muce about
the hippie movement is that they
dislike society or the establish¬
ment as it has be*n called. Their
code Is strictly on the basis of
Individualism whether It con¬
cerns sex or what have you. I
may b* wrong In this appraisal,
but so far I haven't been Informed
belief,
the hippies regard
society as an Infringement on
themselves. Yet, they want that
same society, which they refuse
to adhere, to provide the means
to continue their way of life. The
way I look at It, society doesn't
owe anyone anything. Each In¬
dividual Is part of society and,
therefore has the opportunity to
adapt himself to It. As I say,
I wonder about the motives.

Tusan demonstrate their dedica¬
tion to our school by returning tor

CTA Public Opinion Survey:
Schools Doing 'Good Job'
public opinion poll conducted
the California Teachers as-
(CTa) disclosed that
the   public    feels  that  public
schools  are doing a "good* Job
In educating their children.
CTA officials noted that the poll
also Indicated an increase in pub¬
lic acceptance In providing im¬
proved educational programs.
Jack D. Reea, acting CTA state
executive secretary, addressing
members of the State CouncU of
Education at their semi-annual
meeting held last Saturday, stated
that *50 percent of the sampling
believed the public schools were
doing a 'good' Job.*
He said that 33 percent believed
schools were doing a 'fair" Job
and only 7 percent felt schools
were doing a "poor* Job.
The CTA noted that the poll
showed 72 percent of the sample
supporting measures to Increase
educational programs through
state taxes, but screed that local
property   taxes   shoulo   be   re-
Rees said, "That a similar poll
taken three years ago showed
only 64 percent favoring more
money for public schools.*
The State CouncU of Education
also sponsored a professional
responsibilities act in the State
Legislature. U enacted, the legis¬
lation would give teachers the
same role enjoyed by other pro¬
fessional groups in California,
The outcome of the act, accord¬
ing to CTA officials, "would be a
new board, appointed by the gov¬
ernor and composed of lOeduca-
tors and one layman, which would
take over the policing duties now
conducted by the over-loaded
State Board of Education.*
The group also supported Sen¬
ate BIU 311, known as the educa¬
tional 'Magna charta* to return
school curriculum control from
the State Legislature to local
school districts.

Long hair, beards and buttons haven't replaced the fraternity pin
at Fresno State College but they're rapidly becoming part of the
scenery. One would have to be blind or a public relations man not
to notice them.
If the activist element here is not already a tores to be reckoned
with, the movement has at least begun, whether or not, as they say
In the South, you would Invite one home to dinner.
Faculty members not a part of the movement have remained mute
about the New Look at FSC and student non-sympathizers haven't
started any fist fights about It.
After one of the group's off-campus activities last ssmester
the campus newspaper editor, Mary Lou Claassen, nee Fleming,
called them boorish brats In her editorial column. It was rumored
that Miss Fleming's editorial prerogative would be examined
before the Board of Publications but no action was taken against
her or 'The Dally CoUeglan.* She has since been disinclined to re¬
peat the phrase.
This reporter was critical of the protestors in tour of his opinion
columns, the last three of which were rejected and unpublished.
Another reporter, who achieved some notoriety as 'Sagebrush Sam,'
lambasted the demonstrators In his column and has been encouraged,
also after several rejections, to temper his remarks.
Both reporters were told by the editor that their opinions were
too personal and lacked objectivity.
Most news releases dsscriblng the groups actlvities-tbe peace
vlgU, marches to Sacramento and San Francisco, and several campus
rallies-have come from a faculty member who helped organize them,
Dr. Hague Foster, chairman of the philosophy department.
Jay Goodwin, a regular participant in the protest activities, re¬
cently lost the student presidential election by a shave—42 votes. No
poll was taken to determine whether the removal of his chin whiskers
would have been worth 43 votes to Goodwin's political career, his
1,185 supporters and to the student body, had he Indeed been elected.
1 had, In terms of appearance and personality, a good number of
things going against me,* Goodwin mused.
Goodwin said the election results, which he calls 'an historic
event," shot holes in any assumption that Fresno Staters are satisfied
with the political condition of the campus. Students, he said, were
offered the posslbUlty that, "By God, maybe there is a chance for
things to be different.*
The Junior social welfare major said he believes strongly In the
value of a sensitive, energetic student body.
•At college campuses In particular you have < people who are young,
mentally agUe, people who are stUl curious, people who haven't
yet been firmly Jammed Into the mold. Protest movements are a
very natural phenomenon,* he said.
'Any kind of student participation Is beneficial tor the educational
■There are many people gratified to see that students are not
merely being pushed along a treadmill,' said Goodwin. 'There are
people  who   criticize   the campus every time somebody sneezes.*
Goodwin said he accepts the posslbUtly that he is not everybody's
favorite person. He appears resigned, If not Immune, to attacks
against his convictions.
"I regret It,* he said. *I think people who use labels are emotionally
Involved In something they know nothing about.
■I'm sure a good many of us would stand no matter how many In¬
vectives are hurled, regardless of the Jokers who hurled the flre-
s kind of Intimidation Is certainly not going to deter any
Goodwin mentioned that In the course of his 34 years be has been
•poor, tired, dirty, spat on, everything you can imagine.*
Goodwin, perhaps, is not apathetic about any thing. Apathy Is a term
frequently applied, by the un-apathetlc and particularly at election
time, to describe the attitude of a good many FSCers.
•What the hell's apathy?' asked Paul Glenn, a senior agronomy
major who will begin officer training In the Marine Corps after he
graduates this June. He has been promised 13 months In Vietnam.
•Student leaders expect everybody to be as gung-ho as they are.
Not everybody wants to be a politician.'
Glenn neither shares the convictions of the activists nor pretends
to tolerate their methods. (Jack Kaufman, associate professor of
social welfare, said 'activist' is an acceptable, non-Judgmental term.)
•They can't get attenUon any other way; they don't have anything
to stand on,* said Glenn. 'I think they've got a big chip on their
shoulders tor everybody else. They seem to be like the Negros; they
want to change everything right now. It takes time.*
Glenn believes members of the peace movement a

Your image is determined by what you do, not by what you think.
You  can be  an  Individual without  growing  a beard,* Glenn said.
•Hair was meant to grow,* said Archie Patterson, a freshman
general major. For evidence, Patterson sports toe beginnings of a
beard and straight, unbarbered hair hangs to below chin level. Bangs
adorn his forehead.
•I think a person should be Judged on his Intellect, not his appear¬
ance," Patterson said.
•At first they (his critics) did bother me a lot. Now, if they get to
know me and don't like me, then fine. As long as my Image satisfies
myself, that's all that matters.*
People don't take the time to fairly evaluate anybody, Patterson
complained.
"If you took up facts I might turnout to be better than them. I think
It's stupidity on their part."
The student-operated campus
dairy processing plant handles
much of the milk consumed on
Operated as part of the labor¬
atory faculties tor the dairy sci¬
ence program, the plant pro¬
cesses about two-thirds of the
300 gallons of milk produced
dally by the 65-80 pure bred
herd of Holsteins, Jerseys, and
Guernseys, it purchases the raw,
unhomogenized and unpasteur¬
ized milk from the dairy, and
sells the refined products to the
lab school, cafeteria, and Round¬
up. The remainder of the raw
milk is purchased by the Borden
Company.
Because It Is run as a business,
the plant channels its profits,
which Clayton Pflueger, faculty
manager, estimates si $1,000 a
month, back to the Agriculture
Foundation which owns the herd.
Although the concern's equip¬
ment U smaller than the normal
dairy plant's, it processes ap¬
