Faculty raps community understanding
The capability of those In busi¬
ness to understand and communi¬
cate meaningfully with those In
the college community was chal¬
lenged Thursday when a panel of
four Fresno businessmen spoke
In the English department's
Fourth Hour Program series,
■Crisis In California Education.*
The panel members, chairman
G. T. Caswell, president of the
Fresno City and County Chamber
of Commerce; Milo Rowell, at-
torney-at-law; Jack Oliver, di¬
vision manager of Pacific Tele¬
phone and Oliver Jamison, attor¬
ney, gave varying renditions of
what   they   thought   had  caused
Jamison, who opened the dis¬
cussion, declared that he had *a
deep Interest In seeing that noth¬
ing happens to change the system
In a state of transition between
democracy and tyranny. There is
undoubtedly a great gulf In com¬
ity. Nevertheless, it is they who
pay the bills for Institutions like
this -
Ja ilson conceded that "there
Is pi obably fault on both sides
(on the part of the institution and
of tenure, charging that lt pro¬
tects the Incompetent.
■Good teachers are always In
demand. The system of tenure
simply shields the defectives."

Jamison for not acknowledging
that changes In the present edu¬
cational system are essential.
Bluesteln also emphasized that
It was tenured professors who
were making these changes, cit¬
ing examples at Fresno State
College.
Oliver look a completely dif¬
ferent approach In his presenta¬
tion. His chief concern was In

phone Is doing for minority stu-

'Each time freedom has raised
Its head lt has been In a society
that had law and order. Each
time law and order was broken
down, freedom was lost."
'It Is time for some of the In¬
tellectual elite lo wise up. The
electorate count. They control
the purse strings. It's time to

Following Rowell's discussion,
Eugene Zumwalt, professor of
English, charged Ihe panel with
having shown very little under¬
standing of the actual problems
behind the crisis In education.
•You have shown very little
understanding of the problems
caused by a repressive budget
and the shaky position of tenure.
I suggest, gentlemen, that you
have not done your homework. I
find your comments not only Ig¬
norant on the subject of which
you were Invited to speak but
Intimidating."
Canada in jeopardy,
says geographer Clark
Unless Canada amends her ter¬
ritorial disputes, Improves re¬
lations between outlying areas
and stops the outflow of Its citi¬
zens, Ihe life of the country Is
In Jeopardy.
Dr. Andrew Hill Clark, second
speaker In the Famous Geogra¬
phers series, sponsored by the
Geography Department, stated
that weather, millions of miles
of granite rock and small pockets
of population, make Canada geo¬
graphically much the same as lt
was 5,000 years ago.
He told at length of the Sub-
Artlc region and explained that
much of Canada Is nothing more
than   barren   wilderness,  un-
The Guggenheim and Fulbrlght
scholar, now associated with the
University of Wisconsin, painted
a dreary picture of the habitat
In the country to the north.
■The strongest impression one
gets  of Canada Is forest, rock
and water. Soils are of little use
for agriculture and the latest
technology and science combined
with government subsidies have
not been successful In changing
the picture," the world traveler
noted.
Clark also pointed out that
while many Canadians feel that
there Is untold wealth waiting for
them in the vast northern forest
and wilderness area, recreation¬
al dollars are keeping the country
alive.
•Canada Is beckoning America
with one hand and holding lt off
with the other. They want what
the US has but they hate tobe-
Canadlan citizen explained.
Ninety per cent of all Canadians
live within 300 miles of the U.S.
border and three fourths of the
population lives within 50 miles.
This might account for the re¬
sentment Canadians feel at being
owned by America, Clark said.

The option, presented by
Thomas Evans, dean of the school
of engineering, will provide for a
four-year program In surveying.
The new approach to surveying
will differ from the present en¬
gineering program by placing
less emphasis on science and
mathematics and more emphasis
on a practical approach to sur¬
veying.
Regarding the need for such an
option, Evans said, «A terrific
shortage has developed In sur¬
veying in recent-years.* Hesaid
that such a program, when es¬
tablished would be the first oflts
kind in thewest, with the exception
of Oregon State University, which

an emphasis onphotogrammelry,
the use of aerial photography In
surveying. A discussion by the
committee regarding the cost
of such an operation was settled
when Evans revealed a plan to
borrow equipment from the fed¬
eral government. He said that
the government has consented
to loan the school of engineering
some of the more expensive
pieces of equipment on a per¬
manent basis. He said that the
equipment would be government
surplus, but would be far from
obsolete. He added that the school
already has some of the equip¬
ment needed, alleviating even
more of the cost.
Evans said that the engineer¬
ing technology option has a po¬
tential of expanding Into mechani¬
cal, electrical, or civil engineer¬
ing technology. He didn't spec¬
ulate as to when such expansion
might take place.
Evans hopes that the engineer¬
ing technology option can be Initi¬
ated by the 1969-70 school year.

to control the political economy
of the nations around Ihe world.
Btmu Wedssman, a graduate
student In Latin American studies
at Stanford spoke on 'corporate
liberal Internationalism* which
he believes has bean a major
force In extending American
domination over nations through¬
out the Third World.
He said that American corpora¬
tions are only based In America,
but have become International
corporations.
They control technology, capi¬
tal, and know-how, things which he
said bring about economic
development.
