Opinion
Changes
Like  the  1;
3f the sun disappearing beneath the western
horizon, the semester ls rapidly coming to a close.
This past semester has seen Fresno State College change Its face
and Image drastically from a somewhat conservative outlook on Is¬
sues to much more liberal feelings. Despite the problems which arose
because of the changes, this movement ls Just what the campus
needed. Everyone was able lo make his Ideas known and to have his
say-this has been of the utmost benefit.
Many things have taken place these last few months, some good
and some bad. There was the problem of Robert Mezey and the boy¬
cott of English classes that followed ln the wake of the announce¬
ment he was not going to be rehired for Ihe next year.
Then there were the attempts by the Negroand Mexican-American
students to air their grievances and have their problems solved.
Finally, there was the good Sen. Hugh Burns who ran around Sacra¬
mento frothing at the mouth like a mad dog about an 'obscene* art
display in the Library foyer. Admitting he'd never seen the exhibit,
he nevertheless decided It was a "no-no" and thought he should slap
But there were other things. There were the opportunities to
learn-to learn not only scholastically but also as a total Individual,
to And yourself regardless If It's through classroom Instruction,
extracurricular activities or demonstrating and protesting.

Administration Admits To De Facto Segregation
■v JUDV MILLER
Fresno State College admin¬
istrators and other college ad¬
ministrations have accepted the
fact that racial discrimination
does exist on their campuses.
The Deans of Students of the
CaUfornla State Colleges met
at Humboldt State College ln Oc¬
tober 1967 and discussed the
problems of racial discrimina¬
tion and prejudice on the cam-
ite colleges.
I that de facto segre¬
gation "eTfists massively on Ihe
campusesApf American higher
educational institutions. The
CaUfornla State Colleges are not
exceptions to this condition," they
said ln a Joint statement. "Dis¬
crimination and segregation are
someUmes obvious, and we must
deal with that pervasive and sub¬
tle segregation which ls part of
higher education and the fabric
of our society."
Now that the existence of dis¬
crimination and prejudice has
been accepted, colleges are faced
with the question of what they
must do to help minority students
and to rid their campuses of
discriminatory practices.
Student Demands
FSC has instituted four pro¬
grams designed to meet the needs
of minority students.
Last semester Dr. Ness au¬
thorized a Human Relations Com¬
mittee, later renamed the Human
Rights Committee, to hear and

discrimination.

Shacklett, the flrector of the
program, said he ls concerned
that *the people of West Fresno
stop seeing FSC as a racist In¬
stitution.*
•A lot of qualified West Fres¬

plague," he said.
Frank A. Wlehs, assistant pro¬
fessor of English, has made a
proposal for a Black Studies
Chair to begin next fall.
