Wednesday I was disgusted
upon seeing the advertisement

are selective in your news, you

advertising. What about the credo
of good taste that Is taught In
your Journalism classes? This
Incident only reaffirms my lack
of confidence in the competence
of the Collegian staff.

'Spiritual invasion'
We have heard the charge that
we are 'an apathetic and In¬
different campus,* that we show
an 'absence of love.' I do not
agree with this charge. I do
agree, however, that more stu¬
dents should turn out to chal¬
lenge a Christian spokesman who
expresses his faith as an answer
to that charge.
I remember a short Ave years
ago when Billy Graham wanted to
not- permitted to do so by our
administration. I am Impressed
with the rights of expression
gained for us since that time by
far from apathetic demonstra¬
tions. I see these rights of ex¬
pression growing. As evidence,

What may have been mistaken for
apathy Is a small growing core
of students who have experienced
an Inner awakening to the claims
of Jesus Christ as the foundation
of their lives. To me this Is far
from apatheUc.

State College Trustees Revise
Graduation  Requirements
V TIMOTHY COX
Colleges has adopted
general   education   requirements   for graduaUon
from the California State Colleges.
Passed last February to become effecUve as of
September 1. 1969, the revisions apply to 'Gen¬
eral Educatton-Breadth Requirements.'
The revisions will reduce the minimum general
education requlrments from 45 to 40 semester
units, and will Increase the requirements within
or   among   specified   categories  from   31  to  32
The specified categories have been revised to
include natural sciences, social sciences, humani¬
ties, and 'basic subjects.'
The term basic subject refers to courses de¬
signed to faciUtate the acquisition and utilization
of knowledge in the natural or social sciences and
humanities. An example of this application would be
oral and written communlcaUon, logic, mathe¬
matics and statistics.
The revisions say that at least two semester
courses are required from each area, with the
disciplines and courses encompassed by each area
to be determined by the college.
The revisions also specify that the president
of any accredited college may certify that the mlnl-
mun general education requirements have been
satisfied, in part or "In toto,* through a student's
completion of course requirements designated as
general education in the catalog of the college.
Thus, a student who transfers from a junior
college  or  from   another state  college,  will be
if the California State       may  specify general education requirements be¬
yond  the  minimum   40 units,   provided that they
apply equally to transfer and nontransfer students.
Transfer students whose compleUon of minimum
education   units   required   by  the  college  which
grants the bachelor's degree.
According to Dr. Richard Sparks, chairman of the
i, the
passed for two reasons. One reason is to simplify
general educaUon requirements. The other reason
Is to simplify transferlng units taken at the junior
college level to the college/university level.

requirements for teacher credentlallng." A student
must still complete the English requirements, and

Sparks commented that the "GE requirements
should be nonprescrlptlve to give the student
