Drunk prof?
The time has come. It seems
we, as students, highly degrade
ourselves by all the crap we
take. There are several de¬
grees of crap with the roost ex¬
treme being the case of the pro¬
fessor who comes to class drunk.
At the present time there Is at
least one prof, who has been
drunk twice this semester
In class.
Another degree of crap comes
from the prof, who doesn't come
to class at all. At present
there Is one prof, I know, who
has been absent two of the four
tiroes his class has met.
A degree lower Is the prof
who takes out his emotional prob¬
lems on the class. Since when
should we be scapegoats?
This Is not to say all profs
are dealing out crap, but that
some are and are getting paid for
it. Why do we take It? We'll
a class with a clary
We can cure this lack by the
above mentioned method and by
asking questions In class. If the
class situation demands It, (drunk
proror absent without reason
many times), students should
make known what the problem
is and get it cured quickly. We
may do this by: 1. warning the
instructor. 2. Alerting the
department head to the situation.
3. Initiating any non-violent

Information gap
Editor:
Once In September in San Luis
Obispo, and again In December
at San Diego, the Student Presi¬
dent and other students attended
state-wide CSCSPA conferences.
These conferences were called
to discuss the Issues facing the
State Colleges.
Without doubt, Fresno State
today Is faced with serious,
fundamental questions; these are
matters which must be discussed
publicly, here on our own campus,
by students as well as ad¬
ministration and faculty.
After Ihe CSCSPA meetings
there was no attempt by anyone
to pass the Information along to
the general student body. True,
there were short reports to the
Student Senate, but there It stop¬
ped.
Finally, someone has started to
expand government outside of Its
so-called 'clique.* I must com¬
mend Bruce Bronzan for his
"State of the Campus* In last
Thursday's Collegian. I do not

It sails to them and beyond.
Once again, beginning in October of 1969, the
World Campus Afloat program ol Chapman
College and Associated Colleges and Universities
will lake qualified students, faculty and staff
into the world laboratory.
In-port programs relevant to fully-accredited
coursework taught aboard ship add the dimension
of personal experience lo formal learning.

with classrooms, laboratories, library, student
union, dining room and dormitories.
Chapman College now is accepting applica¬
tions for Ihe Fall and Spring semesters of the

New York for ports in Western Europe and Ihe
Mediterranean, Africa and South America, ending
in Los Angeles. Spring semesters circle the
world from Los Angeles through the Orient, India
and South Africa to New York.

SCHOOL INFORMATION
Senator Pompey's letter of
February 13 states that the under¬
class "element" is the source
of complaints about registration.
The word of a senior will not
be as easy for him lo dismiss.
The registration mess at Fresno
State Is not only ridiculous but
totally unnecessary. I have at¬
tended five colleges of assorted
sizes In several states, but I
have never been subjected to the
rat-ln-a-maze treatment the
average student (no matter what
class) endures at FSC's registra¬
tion. Even some faculty mem¬
bers do not know until after
registration what classes they
will be teaching. Mr. Pompey
correctly pointed out that the
shortages of faculty and class¬
room space and excessive
general education requirements
are part of the problem. It Is
obvious (that these are budget¬
ary, population, and curriculum
problems which demand massive
political      and     administrative

real answer to the registration
snafu is the system of college-
wide pre-reglstraUon outlined
In Lloyd C. Blake's letter of
the 13th. This is essenUally the
system used In many colleges—
and It works! Students can plan
ahead, faculty members can pre¬
pare, and shortages of teachers
and classrooms can be distributed
according to demand.

Rights committee gets
fund, progress reports
Once around the campus... briefly
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Highlighting the Human Rights
Committee meeting was a report
on progress made inhuman rights
at Fresno State CoUege and the
FSC Town Meeting Scholarship
Fund.
Lee E. Spencer, administra¬
tive assistant, submitted a re¬
port for ratlftcaUon, "Progress
Made in Human Rights AcUvlty
at Fresno State College since
March 1, 1968.* The report
discusses the cultural events on
campus for minority groups; the
' number of Black and Chlcano
students now enrolled; the
number of Blacks and Chicanes
employed In auxlUary organ¬
izations; the number of Black,
Negro and Chlcano faculty mem¬
bers and the courses now Offer¬
ed dealing specifically with as¬
pects of ethnic minority culture.
The committee felt the report
was too sketchy and lacked depth.
A revising committee directed by
Spencer was formed. Following
the revisions, the report wUl be
sent to the Fresno Bee for pub¬
lication.
The FSC Town Meeting
Scholarship Fund was also pro¬
posed by Lee, The scholarship
Is designed mainly for Black and
Chlcano students. Scholarships
for SlSO-wlU be given to as
many students as funds allow.
Lee commented "the people will
contribute on a monthly basis to
the fund. These people will choose
the recipients of the scholar¬
ships." The committee changed
the portion where recipients have
to appear before a board to apply
for the scholarship to, they do not
have to appear before a board.
The scholarship was presented
later to the Academic Senate for
