From Collegian chief to sports
writer—that's McCall for you
Look at the calendar
___ Mark S. Bacon
By Eve Hermann
•Sporta is my first love. I've
always had visions of being an¬
other Jim Murray, sports
columnist for the Los Angeles
Times,* said Dennis McCall,
last semester's editor of The
Dally Collegian, who will assume
the editorship of the sports page
for the coming semester.
McCall commented that he was
giving up his position as editor
reluctantly. He added that the
responsibility of the Job would not
leave him enough time tor the
class load he needs to carry
this spring in order to fulfill his
B.A. degree requirements.
'One semester Just Isn't long
enough to Implement all of your
Ideas. It seems like you never
have enough time, facilities, or
personnel to carry out all of your
Intentions," he said.
McCall's greatest challenge
as editor was writing good, effect¬
ive editorials. He said that the
editorship also gave hi ma chance
to branch  out   and  cover many
areas of current Interest. Cover¬
ing the speech by Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy last year and the board
of trustees meeting this fall
have been two of his favorite
assignments.
McCall came to Fresno State
College last year with Ave
years of professional experience
in the Journalism   field.  During
lstlc ]ack-of-all trades.
While working tor the Taft
Dally Midway Driller, McCall
served as news reporter, proof¬
reader, make-up man, adver¬
tising manager and sports writer.
The year before he came to FSC,
he worked as the publicity direct¬
or tor Taft High School.
Currently he Is working part-
time as a newsman for the United
Press International wire service,
covering the San Joaquin Valley
beat. He hopes to work for a
newspaper or continue his job
with UPI on a toll time basis
after   he   graduates   this  June.
As editor of theCoIlegian,Mc¬
Call often relied on his reserve
of calm nature, which he had
acquired during his working days.
He said that an editor of a
campus newspaper has to learn to
•People find It easy to criti¬
cize a campus paper. The college
newspaper Is really only an ex¬
periment tor Journalism students
and is bound to contain some
mistakes. And these mistakes
are out In the open for everyone
McCall.
However, the complaints have
not dented McCall's calm dis¬
position. This Is more than he
is willing to admit about his one-
telephone office, which some¬
times looks like a Collegian
graveyard and where it's always
impossible   to   find      a  pencil.
Since the Collegian's budget
doesn't provide an office tor the
sports editor, McCall will be
making his new home on the west
side of his former offlce--wlth a
new supply of pencils, of course.

University of Wisconsin. Before
coming to FSC. he was a United
States Army laboratory technic¬

Ince   1959.
iiany unusual and unforeseen things happened
  s also filled with many incidents which were by
no means spontaneous. Because of a totally Inadequate calendar,
however, none of these happenings received any prior publicity.
This semester's calendar, published in the catalog and schedule
of classes, shows no improvement. It lacks originality, thought tor
the future and contains no excitement. Looking at the calendar It
would seem that life In a monestary would be more exciting. Men
may enlist in the army and volunteer for combat duty rather than
face this semester here. A wake would seem like Disneyland
compared to life on campus. Lincoln's birthday Is not even i holiday
at FSC.
To cure all of these Ills and to change the outcome of the semester,
here Is the calendar of probable happenings tor the spring semester:
Feb. 27 - To solve the parking problems of last semester, a newly-
formed committee will release its suggestion that everyone walk',
rather than drive to school.
Fob. 28 - Rumor will be spread that the parking committee was
made up solely of dormles.
Mar. 3 - The athletic department along with the music department
will solve the marching band problem tor the spring semester.
Mar.  7  -  The  head  of the  music  department will suggest that
members of the  new  marching band not wear their shoulder   '
pads or helmets while playing their Instruments.
Mar. 19  -  YAF-SDS Intramural wrestling match. 8 p.m. men's
gym.
April  1  -  Three hundred and  fifty-seven pledges  will receive
minor injuries during an all-night frat party, despite the fact
that only 205 students are pledging this semester.
April 8 - As an experiment, California State Colleges Chancellor
Glenn S.  Dumke will spend a week living in the dorms. After
his stay he will decide that the rooms are too big and that the
food     is     excellent    He will raise the rent $100 a semester.
April 17 - Dumke's  daughter will apply to Arizona State.
April 21 - A 7 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday political science class will
be   rescheduled   so   as   not   to   conflict with  the Mod Squad.
April   23   -  News will  reach  Fresno that San Francisco State
College has been reopened again for the eighth time. The new
president  of the college, John Wayne, will pledge to keep the
school open.
April 26 - As a friendly gesture, the cafeteria will start serving
lunch to the men working on the new bookstore.
May  5 - The Fresno Resistance's mass anti-draft rally will be
broken  up by police when it Is discovered that neither of the
students participating obtained a permit.

FRATERNITY RUSH
I know that many non-Greek members view the system as a strictly social
organization. But times are definitely changing and the Greeks have found them¬
selves also involved in the change. Today, many of the fraternities are utilizing
their usual Monday night meetings to hear controvertiai debates and speakers,
and to have sessions where the members can interaet and learn through the
exchange of differing viewpoints and attitudes. The fraternities contribute money
•and service to such placet in the Fresno community as Hope Manor, the Fresno
Nutritional Home, and in tutoring and adopting underprivileged children. They
alto provide scholarships to those who ara deserving, whether a Greek or not.
One thing that time does not change la the need for people to Interact with
others. A fraternity offers this unique Interaction without stifling or stamping
out one's individuality. I feel a fraternity can only add to one's college experi¬
ence. Fraternity Rush offers the best possible opportunity to visit the various
houses without obligation. I feel you owe It to yourself to come and see rather,
than to rely on only ■what you have heard." HH9
