J—THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Tuesday. October 2' EDITORIAL Free The Collegian From What? In toe last few days a circular claiming The DaUy Collegian Is a puppet of toe administration has been distributed by a person (or persons) who does not have toe Journalistic courage to endorse his statement, and yet he professes to tell toe editor of The Daily Collegian that she Is not pub¬ lishing a newspaper properly. To that person let us be the first to extend con¬ gratulations. You have apparently mastered a specialty which normally takes toe Journalism stu¬ dent at least four years of formal educaUon and many more years of practical experience to exact. That specialty is selecUon and treatment of news. The circular professes to "Free The Collegian", but from what should lt be freed' From the Ad- mlnstraUon, which has no control over toe news¬ paper's policies of what news wUl be published? Perhaps the anonymous journalist means lt should be freed from the student administration, which also has no control over policy or news. True, there Is a Board of Publications, but its relation to this newspaper is toe same as that of a publisher to a commercial newspaper. Its purpose Is to make toe problems of publication more bear¬ able. Section 3.5 of toe Board's policy manual says •The editors will be allowed freedom lntoelr choice of staff, theoperatlonoftoelrproducUonprocedure, and to their selecUon of materials to be printed." f any publication, I power has not once been exercised. On our news pages we try to present the news as factually as possible. We have to select from all toe news available that which wUl fit Into our news columns. Then we have to treat that news according to Its news value. For toe benefit of toe anonymous agitator, and for the benefit of those who have read his circular, we will set them down here. They are timeliness, proximity,prominence, consequence and human Interest. Why certain events do not receive more news coverage than they do should need no further explanation. we report only tost which is bad. Our news pages may not be steeped in controversy, but that Is not our fault. We do not make toe news, we merely report lt. In our editorials we make no pretense of walking down toe middle of the road; our comments and InterpretaUons are made from a definite point of view. We believe ln toe Individual and In his right to know. Our newspaper deals wlto student affairs, and we must have all the news to practice our specialty. Accordingly, we are obliged to tell what we find, not merely what certain specialized groups wish us to teU. And remember, like every other student at Fresno State College, we, too, arc Involved ln a laming Cambridge Classics the styling is traditional - the colors and fabrics are what's happening ¥ _•_" FROM SAN FRANCISCO -Classic Ivy Styling in slacks that ought to cost more-but don't!

It read: FREE THE COLLEGIAN "The bulletin board ln the Journalism Department extolls the virtues of a free press. Doesn't this make toe editor of The Dally Collegian feel uncomfortable? Our free press is like our free world: It's a pretty phrase If you don't take the word free too seriously. Dear editor, why was toe coverage of the Humphrey walkout so meager and half-witted? Isn't lt true that the administration was upset by what little there was? Why were two other campus happenings so pointedly Ignored? When will Fresno State get a free press? When will we have a newspaper that can be read with Interest by someone who is not an idiot? Carole Sarklslan, The Daily Collegian editor. Is resting comfortably ln Fresno Community Hospital, her heart and spirit broken by the above nasty letter. Before the ambulance took her away she managed to express her opinions on Ihe aove charges. "Make them bleed,* she cried, as she was wheeled from the Business Building. Pull out your tourniquets. Question number one: "Why was the coverage of the llumphre; walkout so meager and half-witted?" First of all, lt was not really Humphrey who walked out, but a group of 70 or so students who had to go potty just when Humphrey started his speech. As for the Collegian's coverage of this occasion, more than half of the Tuesday, Oct., 10, edition was devoted specifically to the speech and protest. Sixteen photographs were Included ln the coverage. Copies of this edition are available ln The Dally Collegian office, Business 230. Meager? So. Half-witted? Perhaps, depending on one's literary values and political si t toe t by wi jverage) there was?" Could be. To be safe,though, inte ns should ask members of the administration, as Miss Sarkl: Id she has heard nothing from them regarding the Humphrey aff "Why were the two other happenings Ignored?" Two reportedly p per- graphed by Campus editor have access to the photos at nanaglng editor that hlghes llleen Leman. The Dally Collegian did iter date but lt was toe judgment of the I photos ln question were not of the ■When wUl Fresno State get a free press?" In terms of editorial prerogative and freedom from faculty control, It's got one now. Miss Sarklslan Is free to publish or reject any news item. She has never been bothered, she said, by journalism Instructors, the Board of PublicaUons or any faculty-sponsored Interest. The editor of The Dally Collegian has usually been a Journalism major. Which is to say that Jay Goodwin, for Instance, did not apply for this year's editorship but could have. His application would have been brought before toe Board of Publications and been acted upon. A Journalism major would probably have been selected Instead of Goodwin and toe student body would have been stuck with another journalism-oriented campus newspaper. Which is fine or nor so fair depending on one's viewpoint. ■When will we have a newspaper that can be read with interest by someone who Is not an idiot?" Maybe when toe Idiot's Interest at FSC becomes a minority senUment. The fact that there has been no rabid call to overthrow present Collegian standards suggests per¬ haps that a preponderance of FSCers are Idiots or at least seml- ldlots, a suggestion which may have some validity. Secondly, The Dally CoUeglan Is toe laboratory for journalism students. It says so right onthedoorto Business 241. The newspaper depends, therefore, on Journalism students and the talents they can Also, some persons don't think the CoUeglan U a very exciting publication. That might be a leglUmate quesUonhadlt not come from such a lifeless student body. In terms of excitement, the Humphrey affair might prove to be toe social event of toe year for Fresno State College.
