A later shot tiv Shanttt in overtime gave the Bulldogs their third win of the season.

Last year the 'Dogs played 14 games that were decided by four points or less. They won 11 of those games. A 15-foot Jump shot by Rodney Shanks with two seconds left ln overtime gave Fresno their third win of the young season.The6-4, 180 pound Junior guard had 14 points for the evening, making six of 10 field goal attempts and both of his free throw tries. ' In the early going' It seemed the 'Dogs would repeat thetr Thursday night performance, zooming to a 34-18 lead with 5:55 left ln the first half. But the 'ftogs were outscored 10-4 for the remainder of the half, and went Into the locker room with a 38-28 lead. Ken »arnes, who was the standout for the 'Dogs on Thursday, had collected 12 points and eight reliounds at Intermission. Roy Jones continued In .i slump, with only six ptdnts, hut liad^slx rebounds. The second half saw Fresno slow down the game inarSJttempt to pull the Broncos uut'of a zone defense. But Boise was content to stay In the zone, as Fresno shot a cool 38.7 from the field. With 0:20 lelt in the second half, Hronco guard Steve Connor hit a Jump .shot to make It 56-54. Twice the 'Dogs pulled to four point leads, the last with 43 seconds left.

A last second shot by Shanks missed. v In overtime, Stewart scored again, to give the Broncos their ' only lead of the game, 70-68. Barnes was 'Bad News* for Boise, as he battled a group of players for the ball and tossed it up to tie up the extra period. The 'Dogs got the ball back and for nearly four minutes, they stalled. Boise refused to come out and press Fresno. Finally, with 16 seconds left, coach Ed Gregory called for a time out. After the game, Gregory explained, *We have a play for Jones that takes about 15 seconds to run( where he shoots a fall- away Jumper. We were going to use It if they were ln a man-toman situation. But after giving a man-to-man look, Boise switched to their zone. By the tlrne the Dogs were set, less than 10 seconds remained. At that point, *1 told Rodney to take 11 to the hole. He's the quickest to the basket on the team," said Gregory. And Shanks put It through for the win. He performed the same feat twice last season. Both Gregory and Boise State head coach Bus Connor praised the coolness of the teams. "Both teams had patience. When it was close, one of the teams could have pulled away If the other was too aggressive,* saidGregory. Connor rated the 'Dogs behind Oregon and equal to Santa Barbara, two of the five teams be has faced. 'Oregon Is very physical. Fresno Isn't physical, but they have good -speed and can Jump," he said. A crowd of 2,488 showed up for Saturday's game, which saw both, teams shooting well from 'the1 free throw line, but.poorly from the field. Boise hit on eight of nine free throat attempts, Including all six ln the second half. They hit 31 of 80 shots from the field for 38.8 per cent. Connor and Dan Jones were Boise's top scorers with 16 points each. The 'Dogs will play one of their toughest opponents of the season when they take on the University of California, Berkeley Tuesday ln the Bay Area. The Bears were ranked 16th ln a pre-season poll by Sports Illustrated. Fresno will return home on Thursday to play O.C. Davis. FOR SALE 75 DODGE VAN air conditioner.; custom interior; maqs; 431-3925.

The problem Is part of widespread dissatisfaction ln the School of Social Sciences against the administration's policy of reducing faculty ln all social science departments because of declining enrollments ln history, geography and ethnic studies. Three weeks ago, CSUF president Norman Baxter received a memorandum signed by the 10 department chairpersons and the acting dean of the School of Social Sciences criticizing the ad ministration's practice of cutting back faculty. A response to the letter by Charles Swanson, vice-president for academic affairs, gave various departments authorization to hire Instructors. The Department of Speech Communication was not given authorization to replace the forensics director, Dr. John Schunk, whose lectureship terminates at the end of the spring semester. As a result, the forensics program is ln danger of being discontinued next fall. Dr. David Quad to, chairman of the Department of Speech Communication, questions the administration's move, which he said will leave his department understaffed and force cuts ln curriculum. The core of the problem ap pears to ^ that two of the three departments ln the School of Social Sciences faced with declining enrollment (history and geography) are *tenured-ln.» This means that while the two subjects have lost FTE (full- time enrollment), no reduction ln staff Is possible. Quadro said otherdepartmenta in the School ot Social Sciences shouldn't have to bear the burden because some departments in toe school are losing FTE. Quadro said he shouldn't be denied the faculty position because It will have 'horrendous programlc effects' and because the department's student-teacher ratio has risen during the past five years. As yet, Quadro has received no word from the administration why his department is one likely to lose a faculty position. "No one yet has been willing to answer the question,* he said. When questioned, Swanson declined comment, saying the people he is negotiating are his •friends.* NO ONE SHOULD BEAR BURDEN Quadro stressed that no oo* school ln the university should bear the entire burden of cutbacks. He said the administration should look at all schools and departments within them and cut from the departments that could 'afford It better.* This would force the entire university to bear the burden. According to Quadro, speech communication Is probably the department chosen for the possible cut of a position because I It has many high-cost programs. Another reason he cited Is that the department has a lecturer. Quadro said a lecturer Is a non- tenured faculty member who is i hired for one year. A lecturer can be renewed for a second year, but no more than that. Schunk, currently in his second year of Us lectureship. Is the forensics director. He will reach the end of his term when the spring semester finishes. He had been hired to replace a tenured faculty member who retired. In Quadro's opinion, lecturers should be used to replace faculty members on leave. Under current regulations, Schunk could remain on the faculty next fall If be were hired on ■tenure-track.* If Schunk la not given such a position or if an- (Contlnued on Page 3, Col. 4), THE DAILY COLLEGIAN LXXX/66 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1975 . .J, '■ .■•- •» i rr. ..* ... .- Student protest ignored, film admission approved by Meryl-Raymond The Program Committee voted yesterday to charge 50 cents admission for Friday night CU novles, despite protests from Mudents for Consumers (SFC), j campus group. The fee was defined necessary by the committee because "ily 51,400 remains ln the $400 yearly film budget. Committee members said they felt the quality : films shown would go down if the budget was not supplemented with the admission charge. Mike Garth, spokesman for SFC, presented the' committee with a survey the group took at list Friday's movie. W According to Garth, the survey, answered by 145 students, showed 120 students opposed charging admission while 20 favored the fee. The survey contained five other questions. v, College Union Director Earl Whitfield told Garth the survey was either prepared by someone who was not familiar with surveys or by someone who 'knew I how to get the answers needed* out of surveys. ' Along with the survey results, Garth presented the committee with a list of films that could be rented for a total of 31,385. The list Included "Planet of the Apes,* ■The Valachl Papers,* •Winning,* 'High Plains Drifter,* • Funny Girl,*'Blue Water, White Death," 'Ben,* "Breezy,' "Newman's Law,* 'Topaz* and "Some times A Great Notion.* The committee did not approve of the group's suggested list and went on to approve another proposed list with a rental total of 33,850, a sum (hat could only be afforded by levying the admission charge, according to committee members. Films on the approved proposed list include "American Graffiti,' "The Sting," "Clau- dlne," "Chinatown," "The Longest Yard,* "Enter the Dragon,* 'Blazing Saddles," "Uptown Saturday Night,* "Little Big Man,* "Freeble and the Bean," and •Fritz the Cat.* SFC argued that students should not be forced to pay an additional admission fee, since that Is the purpose of the $10 student body fee. Program committee member Mario Galvan asked why the group was not against admission for football .games. Garth replied, "I can't take on the football fee - it Is already there — but you guys are establishing a new fee.* Larry Bolvan, representing SFC, asked the committee, "what is the purpose of having a budget If you go past it?* Program committee members told the consumer group the $10 student body fee was no longer enough. The $10 fee was established ln the late 1960s, according to committee-members. The fee does not go around as much as it did 10 years ago, they said. Fog cancels Buckley The William F. Buckley- Leonard Ross debate scheduled for noon today was canceled due to the fog. Plane'landings were too risky to count on. Program Adviser Gary Bonglovannl ■ announced Monday. Daily Collegian wasn't always independent by Jim Denman Although Insight and the Dally Collegian are administered and published separately, the two campus newspapers used to be housed under the Journalism Department's roof. Six years ago the Collegian — published by the Associated Students — was under the guidance of the Journalism Department, and Insight, today's department 'lab paper,* didn't even exist. Then, the nationwide student piotests ln the late 1980s came. In Fresno and the Issues of ■I i.lent control of student newspapers, and separate minority e litlons, set off a chain of events vhlcH resulted In the split of the i lleglan from the department, and the establishment of theChl- cano "La Voz de Aztlan,* and black "Uhuru," which appear twice monthly. Although the move was described at the time as "an Interim arrangement," Integration seems no closer today. LACK OF SENSITIVITY Lack of sensitivity to the needs »•' minority students was one of the reasons, the special editions -.-re i '.tlated ln 1969 after the Daily Collegian had been published for 47 years. The Collegian first was published biweekly ln 1922 as an extracurricular activity financed by the Fresno State College Association. When the Journalism Department was formed, it established a working relationship with the publication, but students did not receive academic credit for working on the paper until 1957. The department severed relations with the Collegian on May 9, 1969, following Student Senate confirmation of the Board on Publications decision to allow minority student groups complete control of one four-page Dally Collegian edition each week. OPPOSED TAKEOVER In a letter notifying the administration of its unanimous .decision, Dr. Paul Sheehao, then department chairman, said,"Our department was not opposed to a separate paper or to a supplement, if that supplement carried a separate nameplate and mast- - head." But the department was opposed to 'any takeover of the student newspaper by any group, be that group conservative, liberal or radical," his letter said. Schyler Rehart, associate professor of journalism and then adviser to the Dally Collegian, said there was a general feeling at that time by department members that 'as long as student government was determined to have the minority papers, the Department of Journalism would Just get ln the way.* Dr. Arthur H. Margoslan, Journalism professor and former Dean of the School of Professional Studies, said, It was a very painful separation.* He said the main cause of the separation was the continual argument between the department and student government over control of the paper. When student government demanded 'to get ln on not so much policy, but actual execution of the day-to-day operations,* Margoslan said, 'the final break came.* After the separation the department worked on expanding Its laboratory paper — now known as Insight* — which had been planned for about two years. NOT LARGE ENOUGH The Collegian Just wain't large enough to print all the article* written by Journalism students, Rehart said. The laboratory paper, first called "The Journalist,* appeared as a supplement to the Dally Collegian In February 1969. In October that year, the department began to publish Insight, which in the first Issue was described as the "outcome of the Journalism Department's divorce from the Daily Collegian last spring." Previously Journalism students had made up the Collegian's reporting staff and received academic credit for their work. After the "divorce,* Collegian reporters received a grant for their work on the staff but no class credit. The Journalism Department had previously furnished an "adviser" and students to work on the Dally Collegian, while student government had furnished equipment and money. 'After the department and the Dally Collegian separated I probably did more advising than before,* said Rehart. The relationship with the paper "never changed a whole lot except It was a lot freer," he said. NOT MUCH CONTROL •We never did exert a great deal of control over the Collegian,^ he said. He was the Journalism .Department's only faculty member on the Board on Publications, but was a non-voting member. . When appointed technical adviser and consultant to the Collegian ln 1964, Rehart said be was given "no specific responsibility for ahythlng ln the paper." When the department "divorced" the Collegian his role as ended. Until this year, the Dalv Collegian's editors were selected by the Board on Publications, which was under the Student Senate's control. . MEDIA COUNCIL After last year's student government reorganization, authority to choose the editors of the regular and minority editions went to a Media Council formed by the Senate last summer and activated last month. Rehart said the council is probably an Improvement over the previous arrangement. But Margoslan said he isn't certain It la strong enough, "Unless they nave budget con- rol, I don't see them moving anywhere," he said. "But It la a good idea." Margoslan apparently, meant that a Media Council without budget control has little power because the student government can (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1}

Schyler Rehart, associate professor of journalism and then adviser to the Dally Collegian, said there was a general feeling at that time by department members that 'as long as student government was determined to have the minority papers, the Department of Journalism would Just get ln the way.* Dr. Arthur H. Margoslan, Journalism professor and former Dean of the School of Professional Studies, said, It was a very painful separation.* He said the main cause of the separation was the continual argument between the department and student government over control of the paper. When student government demanded 'to get ln on not so much policy, but actual execution of the day-to-day operations,* Margoslan said, 'the final break came.* After the separation the department worked on expanding Its laboratory paper — now known as Insight* — which had been planned for about two years. NOT LARGE ENOUGH The Collegian Just wain't large enough to print all the article* written by Journalism students, Rehart said. The laboratory paper, first called "The Journalist,* appeared as a supplement to the Dally Collegian In February 1969. In October that year, the department began to publish Insight, which in the first Issue was described as the "outcome of the Journalism Department's divorce from the Daily Collegian last spring." Previously Journalism students had made up the Collegian's reporting staff and received academic credit for their work. After the "divorce,* Collegian reporters received a grant for their work on the staff but no class credit. The Journalism Department had previously furnished an "adviser" and students to work on the Dally Collegian, while student government had furnished equipment and money. 'After the department and the Dally Collegian separated I probably did more advising than before,* said Rehart. The relationship with the paper "never changed a whole lot except It was a lot freer," he said. NOT MUCH CONTROL •We never did exert a great deal of control over the Collegian,^ he said. He was the Journalism .Department's only faculty member on the Board on Publications, but was a non-voting member. . When appointed technical adviser and consultant to the Collegian ln 1964, Rehart said be was given "no specific responsibility for ahythlng ln the paper." When the department "divorced" the Collegian his role as ended. Until this year, the Dalv Collegian's editors were selected by the Board on Publications, which was under the Student Senate's control. . MEDIA COUNCIL After last year's student government reorganization, authority to choose the editors of the regular and minority editions went to a Media Council formed by the Senate last summer and activated last month. Rehart said the council is probably an Improvement over the previous arrangement. But Margoslan said he isn't certain It la strong enough, "Unless they nave budget con- rol, I don't see them moving anywhere," he said. "But It la a good idea." Margoslan apparently, meant that a Media Council without budget control has little power because the student government can (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1} |
