ln the formation of 0
organization,     Californians
Against      Absurd     Censorship
(CAAC).
Group chairman Kenneth Rex¬
roth levelled one of the strongest
indictments against the initiative
when he accepted the chairman¬
ship of CAAC:
•Despite the clever propaganda
devices of those advancing the
censorship Initiative to place
their opponents on the defensive,
I do not hesitate to say that their
proposals are evU, without sub¬
stantial merit and a threat to our
fundamental freedoms.*
•If this subversive initiative
were to pass and be upheld, lt
would open the door to unbridled
persecutions of substantial sec¬
tions of the community by the
most twisted minds of the lunatic
fringe.*
Also aligned against Proposl-
Uon 16 is Attorney General
Thomas J. Lynch, who opposes

grounds, but also because ob¬
scenity prosecutions have tripled

would go far beyond toe sincere
good motives of its sponsors and
supporters.*
•I am convinced lt would pro¬
duce consequences repugnant to
them and the people of California.
Conservative ln intent, ills radi¬
cal in effect.*
Unusual stand taken
One of the most unusual stands
against Proposition 16 has been
taken by 'Tangents," a magazine
for homosexuals:
•Most of toe good people who
signed the petition were fed toe
old Idea that reading or viewing
questionable material leads to
murder, rape, mayhem and play¬
ing hookey. There is no evidence
to prove this — ln fact — evidence
can be presented that such mater¬
ial prevents toe acting out of some
forms of anti-social conduct.*
Dr. Henry Madden, Fresno
State College Librarian and a
past president of the California
Library Association, calls Pro¬
position 16 "a personal crusade
on toe part of E.Richard Barnes."
Madden does not stop at op¬
posing the Initiative - he feels
all obscenity laws should be a-
bollshed.
'Present laws are rarely in¬
voked, but If they are they Involve
censorship,* he said.
•Pornography does not lower
moral standards; therefore there
is no need for legislation against
•The initiative is designed to
protect young people from por¬
nography whUe falling to recog¬
nize lt is parents who should be
responsible for their chUdren's
Madden argued that literary
standards should not be watered
down to a chUd's level.
He Is of toe opinion that the
Initiative, If passed, would not
lead  to pressure on  libraries.
•Most of toe smuthounds
wouldn't know what to look for ln
a library,* he quipped. "But there
could be a lot of vigilante action

The Fresno State College
Young Democrats, ln a meeting
Monday night ln Social Science
105, aired their grievances
against State Superintendent of
Schools Max Rafferty and Issued
a proclamation against Propo¬
sition 16.
to addition, the club's presi¬
dent, Rod Crlstando, criticized
what be considers a lack of
pollUcal InltiaUve at Fresno
State. He said. 'It Is my firm
belief that the student of today is
to a most advantageous position to
criticize his government.
The club's vice president,
David Kader, said, 'The student
must criticize and question his
government's actions, for lt is
this government that determines
whether he will carry a textbook
or a rifle.*
In conjunction with the club's
edict against Proposition 16, a
measure involving
obscene literature, the YDs also
proclaimed, *We, the members of
the FSC YDs, resolve thai we
are to opposition, to any further
Investigation of the University of
California at Berkeley ... and
that students . . . are enUUed to
free poUUcal activity."
Dr. Francis Hart, professor of
English and the club's faculty
advisor, led a discussion about
Max Rafforty's alleged unfair
treatment to Gov. Brown.
Rafferty, he said, has attempted
to force Brown to answer loaded
questions about state education,
that put Brown ln a bad light and
are to Ronald Reagan's political
advantage.

Research and experimentation

equipment produced by private
