              Plagiarism
Continued from Page 1
"I'm trying to snow that the
meeting with the chairman of the
department (with tbe teacher and
tbe suspected student to determine if the article is the student's or not) is Just a formality. The student has already
been Judged guilty," Scott says.
"Violation of ethical canon"
is his objectton-to toe absence of
Jury by peers in the procedure.
"It has aspects of a 'trial' or
inquest'," the letter says. ,
Scott suggests the presence
of a fourth party either mutually agreed upon by the faculty
and the student or cuUed from
outside, perhaps from a body
of volunteers composed for this
reason.
Scott concludes his letter by
arguing that the work of students
sometimes exceeds the capacities considered normal for them.
"Often we are amazed at our
own occosional moments of brilliance...such moments as these
are not readily repeated. They
are, certainly, incapable ofbeing
dredged up for 'Instant replay'...
in an atmosphere reminiscent of
a trial," the letter says.
There are also those students
whose written performance Is
superior to their verbal performance, the letter says. "Such
students could not conceivably
be expected to demonstrate the
same competence that they can
express In written form ln an
oral   confrontation,'    the  letter
Scott aLso suggests that pro-
dent accused of plagiarism and
found innocent to transfer to
another class to avoid having
the instructor who accused him
of plagiarism responsible for
his grades.

'A sprinkler in every home'
Student runs for council
By Mike Fitzgerald
Staff Reporter
a 58-year old student hands
a piece of gum reading "Vote
jor Joe R.", you're talking to
seph R. RandaU, candidate for
i Fresno city council.
joe, who's doing independent
slUdy 'through the School of Entering Is handing out 20,000
It his "edible biUboards" as a
part of his low-budget campaign.
• People kind of look at me
suspiciously when I hand the gum
to them," Joe said. "They
think f m going to ask them for
monev afterwards."
Joe's running for the councU
post on a platform of saving the
taxpayer money by using ideas
from private Industry ln city
government.
U you ask Joe a specific idea
he would like to cuU from private industry, you may be favored
vitli a brief history of the sprinkler system, to wit;
"In  1750 Benjamin Franklin
organized one of the firs* fire
departments in the United States.
What tha; did, they organized a
volunteer Are department, with
people to stay at tbe station and
sleep. They had'the engines
and everything, and tbey covered
a certain territory."
Basically that's what clUes
sttU do, Joe wlU teU you. Tbey
have fire engines , with people
to spend their Ml time there
and they have engines and when
there's a fixe they run out to
the fire put lt out and comeback.
"But since Benjamin Franklin
there's been a tremendous a-
mount of work done," Joe win
continue. "The automatic sprinkler was first developed in 1880.
And so to the record of automatic sprinklers; in tbe United
States 38.6 per cent of all fires
ln sprinklered buildings are put
out of control before the fire
department gets there.
"There's a whole field of tools
that  we   can use.    if we had
them ln buildings our fire department could'be much more
efficient"
Joe cited statistics showing
that your property loss ln a
sprinklered building is only 10
to 40 per cent of what lt would
have been bad your building not
had sprinklers. Not only that,
he says, but if you have sprinklers ln your building you're us-
uaUy back in business the day
after the fire.
"In an unsprlnklered building
a very high percentage of people
just go bankrupt," he'll teU you.
Therefore, a plank of Joe's platform: The city council encouraging tbe installation of sprinkler systems in every building in
Fresno, private homes Included,
and a decrease ln fire loss for
etery man, woman, and child.
"Your city, could grow and
you'd need less ' Fire Department," he'U say.
"And that's one little , tiny

N. First St
Commission
creates new
youth post >■'
A new student post has been
developed by the Fresno City
Youth Commission in order to
give CSUF students more representation ln tbe planning of Fresno youth programs.
Tbe Associated Student Senate
has been asked by tbe commission to select a student between
the ages of 15 and 20 to sit on
tbe youth committee.
The selection process wiU end
Wednesday, Nov. 2. Any Interested student can obtain an application in CU 306 between tbe
hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
The Fresno City Youth Commission was established ln 1972
to provide tbe City Council with
comments from tbe youth population ot tbe city.
The process serves to advise
tbe council on the opinions and
interests of the Fresno youth.
One additional requirement for
selection to tbe Committee is that
the student most Uve within the
Fresno City Umlts.
Student senators voted at the
Oct 17 meeting to delay tbe
decision until today in order
to familiarize themselves with
the pros and cons submitted by the
Legal and Legislative (LAL)
committee at that meeting.
Those pros and cons were generated by the LAL after consultation with lawyers, administration personnel and student—
mostly minority—input.
Although minority concensus
was unanimously opposed to tbe
IRA contract, it is not known
if the senate will find this in
itself to be sufficient cause for
trying to get out of the contract.
Nor is it known U the pro-
ceedural irregularities committed by last year's AS senate
which voted to ratify the contract in a controversial 11th-
hour session, are of sufficient
Import to Justify breaking the
contract with tbe administration.
Lastly, it is not known If the
senate has the funds to carry
on tbe court battle, which could
last longer than the duration
of tbe contract itself, that might
foUow if the Senators vote to
try to break tbe contract.
~~At an Oct. 13 meeting of the
LAL, chairman Russell Greer
assured students that the AS
senate would muster tbe necessary funding if it chose to break
the contract
But be was contradicted by
Ag Legislative Vice President:
Karen Clark who admitted frankly to the students that she did
not believe that the senate could
raise tbe money.
Baxter reveals

university's ■ plans for a $5
minion fund drive to finance
tbe construction of a stadium

pas.
