ROTC emphasizes
thinking, leadership
Despite the many calls for the abandonment of
the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps
(AFROTC) on the Fresno State College campus few
critics have come forth with substantial reasons
to back such a proposal.
One of the many problems that cloud the Issue
Is that few people really know what they are talking
about In reference to the ROTC programs.
•)'
The aim of the program on this campus as set
1            forth by Lt. Col. Karl R. Baumwell, chairman of
the air science department. Is to develop a 'man
who can think creatively to administer and manage
material and personnel' in the framework of the
military.
In all respects this aim lsx the basic goal of a
bachelor of arts degree In business administration,
agriculture business management or public ad¬
ministration. The only function that varies in the
AFROTC program Is that the student upon gradua¬
tion will enter the Air Force. This In Itself Is not

Senate debates
election turnout,
campus police
school elections and role of po¬
lice at Fresno State College were
discussed at yesterday's Student
Gary Daloyan, School of Pro¬
fessional Studies Senator, issued
a protest concerning a violation
of Student Senate bylaws on sen¬
ator elections from the individual
Daloyan's objection was that
since the Air Force Reserve Of¬
ficer Training Corps was listed
as a minor, students taking the
e eligible to vote In
the   School   of
Studies and In their major sub¬
ject's election.
BlU Enna, College Union Sen-
ator-at-large, said that this was
also true of education credential
candidates. Currently, students
are eligible to vote only once In
their major.
Randy Walsh, first vice presi¬
dent, termed the elections as
having a "lousy turnout, which
represented disorganization". He
said that there was definitely a
need to revamp election proce¬
dures before the end of this year.
An ad hoc committee on school
elections was formed to gain-a-
general understanding and to find
a way to make future elections
more uniform and coordinated.
Their recommendation will be
submitted to the Student Senate.
Douglas F. Bambridge, chief of
security at FSC, discussed park¬
ing regulations, restrictions,
crimes and the policeman's role
on the campus.
Bambridge explained that
areas of FSC are under the Jur¬
isdiction of the Fresno City,
County and Clovis Police De¬
partments. In the case of fel¬
onies where the FSC police "had
the manpower, but not the facil¬
ities or equipment for the further
investigation of these crimes,
other Jurisdictions would be
called In."
Presently, the main campus is
under Fresno City Jurisdiction.
The east and north campus pro¬
perty is under Clovis and Fresno
County Police Jurisdiction, re¬
spectively.
The president of the college Is
required to call in outside police
when there are campus dlstur-'
Walsh asked If there were any
Chlcanos or Blacks on FSC'epo-
lice force. Bambridge said a
Chlcano had been on the police
force for over a year and a
Black was Joining on May 19.
This will increase FSC's secur¬
ity force to 12.
Daloyan questioned Bambridge
about the restriction of informa¬
tion to the college press on FSC
felonies. Bambridge answered
that he had no hesitancy In talk¬
ing with anyone about felony in¬
formation, but that be would not
commit himself to calling The
Senate Manual of Procedures
concerning the requirements of
the president pro tempore.
