Hayden: better for wear?
(Editor's note: While Tom'Hayden,
a candidate for U.S. Senate, waa
speaking to a crowd ol young
students last Wednesday, Bill
Fossat was rernemberlngfiayden's
earlier days aa a 'radical' in the
1960s. Fossat submitted the lot-
lowing observations.)
by Bill Fossat
Of the revolutionary elite who
got 'clubbed, beaten and thrown
In Jail" In the sixties — as Tom
Hayden's advance man failed not
to remind us yesterday — only
Hayden seems to have come out
of it Looking the better for wear,
wtth a shine and a haircut, and
a new suit.
I remember Hayden. If you
were In the Army In the late
sixties and had some radical pretentions of your own, as I did,
such men as Hayden, Donald
Duncan, Huey Newton, Eldrtdge
Cleaver, Ken Kesey, Norman
Mailer and Muhammad All commanded respect. It has to go
somewhere, and If you work Hup
anymore for Hemingway or for
mass on Sunday, that part of your
heart that screams BULLSHIT'
everytlme you hear Johnson or
Nixon or the first sergeant or
(he chaplain open hts mouth,

the boys.

Columbia and hack to Fresno, ami
the heroes carried their humps
across rampus as proudly as
ever a Kentucky farm boy earned a purple heart lark home
to the (arm, and left the violence
and the wrath back where It belonged — to the colored brothers
and sisters, the hard-headed
street people, the niggers and
Mexicans and Puerto Rlcans and
Polacks and Italians and Junkies
and whores and ex-cons and future cons who were never much
charmed hy the beatings In the

that tt came back to them, but
at least they knew how to live

They shot the works too hard,

I have to sit and listen to them

I'd rather listen to Hayden than
Tunney, not because I make any
moral or political distinctions
between one politician and another, but for old time's sake.
From Wednesday's speech In
the College Union, extracts from
Hayden's own words, set down
here in verse for all you political-poetry aficionados, edited but
not revised, In the order In
which I took them down, chronologically, with an ear always to
candor and profundity, and dedicated to Phil Levlne, for his
encouragement:
I remember long ago—
my parents gave me
a Corvalr that was
supposed to last
through all the hard roads
ol the south.
I was going
fifty miles per hour
backwards, wondering if my head

That was the beginning of

This Is a very vast
change of fortune,
one   that   means   a   great   deal
lo me personally, underneath
all Ihe seeming apathy.
There ran lie no other

Collegian returns
to four-day week
i
CSUF cops fight crime
Monday, October 6, 1975       THE DAILY COLLEOIAN-3
Beginning tomorrow, the Daily Collegian will return to a four-day
per week production schedule. The fifth day will be shared by La
Voz de Aztlan and Uhuru, which will alternate Wednesdays (except
for this week, when La Voz will appear on Tuesday). The Collegian
will be eight pages long on Thursdays, four pages on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The Collegian staff decided to take this step at a staff meeting
last Thursday, and the editors of La Voz and Uhuru concurred. The
reasons are many, and they Include philosophy. The Collegian and
minority papers have different audiences, different perspectives,
and different approaches to how they should do their jobs. Although
there are no hard feelings between the staffs, there are honest disagreements in approach, and neither really wants to be Included as
as part of a package which Includes the other, as they have been
the first month of this semester. Autonomy seems the best way, and
autonomy can be attained only by cutting back the Collegian.to four
days.
A more pressing reason to drop back, however, ls the amount of
work Involved for the Collegian staff In putting out a five-day paper.
None of the editors or reporters receives academic credit for their
work, so they must work on the Collegian in addition to their class
work, which In some cases Is 16 units. No reporter spends fewer
than 20 hours a week on the Collegian and for some of them, and the
editors, it's a 40-hour a week Job. I think we've done a hell of a Job
so far this year keeping the Collegian respectable, but the fact Is we
are simply exhausted, burned out. We can't keep up the pace, unless
we let our classes go.
Perhapttf the student body officers granted us enough funds to hire
at least one more editor and three more reporters, we could stay at
five days a week. But that would cost $3000, and the student officers
already look on us as spendthrifts.
There's a lot to be said about the Dally Collegian and Its structure, not much of It good. It's subject to the caprices of Immature
student body officers, who supply Its funds: It's sometimes threatened
by CSUF President Norman Baxter with being moved off campus,
which would kill It, as he knows. Reporters receive no credit for
their work. The staff usually changes each semester, so It has to go
hark to "go" every six months. •
All these, and other factors, keep the Collegian from adequately
doing Its primary Jobs, which Include preparing reporters for work
on a dally paper, and covering the campus news. Journalism Department faculty and classes, of course, help solve the former problem, though student reporters should have a chance to work on a
daily paper, tn addition to their class work and the weekly Insight.
As to covering the news— we've hit some Important stories here
this fall, but there are too many others that simply won't be covered
because we can't physically do it. There are at least two, and possibly more, cases of administrative-callousness similar to the Chester Cole and Economics Department stories, but I don't know whether
we'll get to them. The absence of a probing press help? create and
perpetuate the sort of atmosphere which allows a moral and ethical
vacuum to appear. This ls what's happened with the CSUF administration, and the vacuum will remain until the administration gets
religion, or the press gets teeth.
Something ought to he done to make the Collegian more effective.
AS President David Price Is going to appoint a Media Council this
fall to look Into the Collegian structure. Let's hope the council can
fortify press freedom at CSUF.

Corcoran, assistant dean of students.
"Depending on the circumstances, though, the student may
find himself subject tounlverslty

Corcoran thinks lt benefits the
student If minor crimes are not
reported to off-campus police.
Suspension and expulsion are the
only sanctions that appear on a
student's transcript; the records
of other offenses are destroyed
upon graduation or, If the student leaves school, after being
held for five years. The student
then avoids a lasting record at
the school, although the police
department keeps records permanently,
PROCEDURE

university sanctions starts.with

If the student thinks the penalty
too harsh, he may request a
hearing. The hearing, also Informal, is a place where tbe student can. present evidence and
witnesses to defend his case to
a bearing officer, who is appointed each semester by the
president of the university.
Dr. Marvin Wampler Is presently CSUF's hearing officer.
DEAN PROSECUTES
The Dean's office becomes, In
effect, the prosecution, presenting Its stde of the case to the
hearing officer, who recommends
a course of action to the president, who has the final decision.
Corcoran said there have been
about 500 referrals from the
police department in the last four
years and official actions have
been* taken In about hair of them.
Of these, only two hearings were
requested, both more than two
years ago.
"We have everything from
water balloon fights, shoplifting,
forging decals and transcripts to
assault, sexual attacks and stab-
blngs," satd Corcoran. "And although Fresno has one of the
largest resident populations of all
the State Universities (1200 students), the percentage of serious
crimes Is probably less than any
of the other campuses."
Economy moves for food service
(Continued from Page 1)
they expect only 15per cent of the
customers to return for seconds.
The majority of people who hare
been eating In the CSUF buffet
room have been going back for
thirds and fourths. Flnlay satd.
He satd he hopes by lowering the price to attract a
broader spectrum of people,
some of whom might not eat so
much.
Other areas of campus food
service are making money, he
satd, but they have to try and
make "each operation as economically Independent as possible" and cannot depend upon the
fast rood area or the College
Union Coffee Shop to "subsidize*
the buffet and restaurant areas.
NEW FOOD OUTLET
A new food, outlet should be
opening In the recreation area
of the College Union this week,
he said.
An unused portion of the College Union Barber Shop has been
remodeled and will become a
small food outlet for longer hours
than the coffee shop or the fast
food area.
Tentatively, this area will be
open the same hours as the recreation  area, Flnlay satd. Cold
sandwiches, hot dogs, soft drinks,
- coffee, an) Ice cream novelties
i win be served there.
This area has a twofold purpose, he explained. "It ls intended
to relieve some of the coffee
• shop Jamming and alto to enable
us to offer some minimal food
service at mora) hours.*
CSUF has-one of the largest
food service operations In the
valley, said Thorns, and yet there
are only about 30 full-time employees In the three buildings on
campus. Two hundred students
also work on a part time basis,
she said.
STUDENTS CHEAPER
Food Service has been moving
towards using fewer full time
people and more students, Flnlay
said, because students are
cheaper.
Students don't get vacation pay,
which saves money, but they
don't *have the same security,
reliability factor,* Flnlay said.
A student ls a student first and
therefore places his school work
ahead of the food service work,
he explained, but added, If he
were a student, he would do the
same thing.
Thorns said using more students Is in some respects harder.
•Youjre constantly working with
new people.*
Last year moat of their employees graduated and food services   ended   up with about  18
returning students, she said.
Usually mora return.
"It la not bard to find that
many students, but lt la hard to
find students with the right schedule to fit Into the working hours
that we need,* Thorns said.
DISPOSABLE DISHES
(n another economy move the
Coffee Shop will be using more
disposable dishes. Thorns and
Flnlay aald.
"It win make lt easier for them
(the coffee shop) and for us If
we went to disposable," she aald.
Many times dishes get scattered around the campus and frequently thrown Into trash cans.
The plastic dishes now being used
are expensive to replace and have
to be ordered In large quantities,
she said.
Flnlay said people are neater
In the newly remodeled fast food
area. People who eat there pick
up their trash more, which saves
them money tn bussing costs.
"We want to see if the same
attitude will develop In the Coffee
Shop," he said. 'People tend to
clean up after themselves better
with paper products.*
Sources of Energy—No. I of a series
If it rained all the time,
electricity would be cheaper.
v -
PGQsE employs five sources
ol primary energy—oil. natural
gas. natural steam igeothermali.
nuclear (uel and falling water
t hydro power l - to turn turbogenerators which produce the
electricity for its interconnected
network system. They are
"mixed" for maximum efficiency
to generate power at the lowest
possible cost.
To harness wnier for power,
we have built one of Ihe nation's
greatest hydroelectric systems.
In "average" rain and snowfall
yenrs. hydro provides about
50% of our electric energy. The
force of falling water makes the
wheels go 'round in Ihe generating plants.
Hydro generation neither
contaminates nor consumes Ihe
water itself. It is returned lo the
rivers undiminished, to serve
agriculture and other vital needs.
Building hydroelectric facilities is expensive, but ihey are
economical to operate. The low
cost of hydroeieciricily is one
reason why our rates, despite
recent increases, remain among
the lowest in Ihe nation.
Diversity: Other
sources of energy
Oil and natural gas have
become more prominent in our
energy mix in recent years
because nearly all economically
acceptable hydro sites have been
developed. Bui the costs of these
fossil fuels have been skyrocketing. In just S years, the
prices for gas have more than
doubled and the cost per barrel
of low-sulfur luel oil has
quintupled. All but two of the
PG&E electric rate increases
requested in the past five years
were to offset these higher
fuel costs.
The alternative to oil and gas.
which are getting more scarce
and more costly, is uranium.
Nuclear power plants can produce electricity at half the cost
of a new oil-fired plant. Our two
nuclear units at Diablo Canyon
will save our having to buy 24
million barrels of expensive
imported oil a year.
These are the good reasons
wiry PG&E and other utility
systems, at home and abroad.
are building nuclear plants.
PGAvE operates The Geysers,
the nation's only geothermal
power plant. Although a rela
tively Inexpensive source of
power, it presently supplies
only about 4% of our customers'
needs. Its most optimistic potential would supply only about 10%.
Coal one day may be our six ih
source of primary energy. We
are in the process of acquiring
reserves in Utah.
Recent developments in solar
power show interesting promise,
but its use aa a major source is.
at best, many years sway. Tidal
and wind power are still in
limited development, and may
never become practical Ice-
large-scale commercial use, but
research continues.
The demand for electricity
continues to grow, partly
because population itself continues to grow. In 1974 alone,
about 100,000 more people were
added to PG&E's service area.
Energy conservation efforts
must continue, but conservation
efforts alone will not eliminate
our need to build ahead today
for your tumaiow.
It's our job to keep you pro
vided with adequate energy and
reliable service at the lowest
possible cost. And for our part,
we intend to do just that.
For your part, we hope you
will continue your efforts to conserve energy, tt is too precious
to waste.
