Younger are not ' Clark said that Governor Brown has given Califomians a
"token" taxcut and 'token" budget
"Brown s activity." he suggested,
"should permanently disqualify him
from any serious consideration for any
For example, Clark suted that
Brown had campaigned against Proposition 13, the Jarvis-Cann tax proposal, "in a very vicious way ' But when
it passed. Brown suted that he had

Clark said that he telt mari|uana

Civil rights also took precedence m
Clark's views toward some of the is
sues of the campaign
'I think I have an approach to the
issues and a solution for the major soc
lal problems that' s better for the peo
pie of California than either Brown or
Younger do.' said Clark
Of the issues on November s ballot
Clark   suted a  position  on   two  that
tive which would ban homosexual
teachers Clark noted that the govern
ment has already passed laws to pro
hibil any problems arising through
overt sexual activity in the schools
He also thought that 'the real problem in public school education.)* the
poor quality of education* at] felt
that Proposition 6 was "just a deS.ce to
blame this sorry sUte of affairs on a little minority group '
And perhaps Clark' s following sUte-
ment on Proposition 6, that 'there's
no need for it,* best sums up his
party s viewpoint toward present government policies, a situation he looks
toward changing with the growth of
libertarianism as a third major party

Cryer visited Fresno recently to
take in the CSUF UOP football game
He had this to say about the athletic
strengths of the PCAA
"We are only as good as we think
we are Last year the league fielded
tome cutsunding teams that brought

'Right now, with the exception
of tootball I think.we can compete
favorably with anybody in most of our
sports With the addition of Utah
State our football is definitely on the

Cryer, a Ca|.p0ly (SLO) graduate,
chuckled when he was asked how he
felt about Cal Poly's recent win over
Fresno SUte
"That was realty a strange game for
me because for the first time I was
rooting against the Mustangs. For me
the PCAA comes first, so I was strongly
pulling for Fresno State '
After graduating from Cal Poly,
Cryer was sports and program director
at radio station KEBC in San  Luis

Chancellor Glenn S Dumke would
not say who's doing it. but he did disclose that the investigation of President
Norman Baxter s presidency is under-
Dumke, on the CSUF campus to
deliver a history lecture, said he would
not disclose the names of the newly-
formed special investigative committee
I said 'However, I will
say that members of campus constituent groups will be represented.'
The review was called for last month
by the Trustees of the California SUte
University and Colleges(CSUC)
system after a poll of CSUF faculty returned an 80 percent vote of no con
fidence in President Baxter and Vice
President Volpp
Baxter also called for the review of
his presidential stewardship last August Following the Trustees action he
claimed the review was in response to
that request
But Trustees Chairman Roy T
Brophy said at that time that this was
*l don't believe that what we did
was a direct response, nor will the
fact-finding committee be a direct
response to anyone's request except
the Trustees.' Brophv said
Refusing to answer any questions
dealing 'with persons or personalities*
Dumke then delivered a lecture to
assembled history department members on 'The Importance of History

ago after being put on a waiting list,

Shan Halton, 11
Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Fresno
has 210 volunteers in working relationships like the Curtis'. Bur there are
2bX) boys waiting for Big Brothers and
M) girls waiting for Big Sisters.
'Like everything else, we had a cut
m funding over the summer, and some
of our relationships were lost as a
result,* Bruce Morris, Big Brothers
community    relations    officer,    said
'We're trying to get back up to 240 to
250 volunteers '
Volunteers work mainly with children *rom single parent families and are
asked to spend three to four hours a
week with their little brother or sister.
'Volunteers should be willing to just
spend time with a child,' Morris said
"They can do thing that the child is
unable to do with his family For some
children, that may mean just going to
the show, or, as the friendship grows,
perhaps going on on a camping trip '
"I like coming here (to CSUF) to
the library,' Shari said 'I got two
books '
A sixth grader with big eyes and a
winning smile, Shari recalled what she
saw when she went to the circus with
Teri 'I saw clowns, elephants, dogs,
people, a man blast off in a rocket, and
The Curtis' lived in the mounUins
this summer and Shari spent time with
them there She and Teri did a lot of
swimming and bike riding, and Shari
learned to drive a boat tt
'I just learned that Shari needs help
with her times tables, so we're going
to work on those together,' Teri said.
Some of the other activities Shari and
Teri    have   planned    include    going
skating, and to see the telescope at
the junior museum.
Not all of Shari and Teri's activities
are fun oriented, however.
'You don't want to spoil the child,*
Teri said. 'Sometimes I can't take time
to do something special with Shari, so
I uke her with me to run errands or
go shopping. Those sort of things are
important to a relationship also.
'There is a lot of trust in our relationship It's a positive thing for both me
and Shari *
'It's fun (being a Big Brother) because you're going into something
that you don.'t need a degree for,"
Jim said of his experience. "It's fun
to develop a relationship with some-

and willingness.  You have to really
The Curtis' recommend the program
to people who have an interest In kids
"I have to have a good feeling about
a person; I have to feel like they would
be good with kids before I recommend
the program to them, * J im said
Aside from people who are interested in kids. Big Brothers has some special needs, according to Morris. Many of
the boys waiting for Big Brothers are
Black or Chicano, so the agency is looking for Black and Chicano volunteers
Big Sisters is looking for volunteers
from surrounding communities They
are also looking for more girls in need
of Big Sisters.
'We have women who are waiting
for little sister,* Morris said. They
don't meet the needs of the girls on
our waiting lists. So we are looking for
girls who need Big Sisters. They do not
have to be from a single parent family
where a male is the head of the household. They may be from homes where
they are being raised by their mother
or grandmother, but the mother wants
help. Anyone who knows of such a girl
should refer her to Big Sisters."
Croups are also welcome to help
sponsor the program, Morris said.
'Groups can sponsor group activities,' he said, 'especially for waiting
list kids. One fraternity took kids to
the fair last year.
'Groups can also help sponsor the
agency financially, and be kept updated on relationships that form during
Being a Big Brother or Sister is
V-fimtely   a    learning
