faculty, exhorting their students
to be Junior Woodwards and
Bernstelns to ferret out the truth
from the. public figures who try
to hide lt, yet they're scurrying
behind the nearest generality
when placed on the spot.
Not only that, but Journalism
students are afraid to pursue the
question with those faculty members because guess who hands
out student Journalists' grades?
Consequently, we have a bunch
of frustrated student reporters
wandering around scratching
their heads and feeling "there's
something more there (In the
Journalism Department) than
meets the eye,* but not sure of
how to find out what It Is without
getting Into trouble.

from what I hear, many senators
honestly believe It's okay to cut

that the Journalism Department

believe that, then they wtll make
the cuts, and the Collegian will
be lost without a trace.

growth  and  academic standing.
Walker, an excellent speaker,
delivered the chapter's annual
report at the convention and was
interrupted four times by standing ovations. His speech, entitled
■The Responsibility of the College Man In Alpha Phi Alpha,*
touched upon the many achievements that Epsllon Beta had made
during the previous year. Some of
the awards that Walker noted In
his report were the community
service award that the chapter
received from the California
park and Recreation Society and
an award from the Big Brothers
•Association for sponsoring a
youth In its program.
The Chapter of the Year award
Irked the organization's
anniversary at Fresno State. The
chapter was chartered In 1956.
During the early years of its
history, the organization experienced wide popularity and
growth, buf In 1073 the chapter
became Inactive due to sudden
lack of active members on cam-
In 1972 a large number of the
chapter's members either graduated or transferred and the organization found Itself lacking
the news and numbers of members to be reorganized by the
campus administration as a functioning organization. -However, in
1973 Walker, the current chapter
president, and four other college
students were organized Into the
chapter through the assistance of
Since then the organization has
grown to 21 members and there
are presently Ave pledgees. According to Walker, If all the
pledgees are Initiated, Epsllon
Beta will become the largest
chapter In the western region.
Walker feels that the change In
the direction of Black Greek
letter organizations is the reason for Epsllon Beta's rapid
growth. "During the years there
have been several significant internal changes in Alpha,* Walker
said. 'One of them has been the
fraternity's move away from the
placing of significance on social
functions to emphasizing academic progress and community
Walker further stated
that 'during our pledging process we place emphasis on developing the pledgee's leadership
qualities because Alpha la known
for producing men of leadership
caliber and Epsllon Beta dedicates Itself to maintain that tradition.*
Walker also stated that the
•myth* that people have about
pledging as being an embarrassing and painful experience) ls no
longer true and lacks foundation.
Instead, Walker explained, the
process challenges the pledgee's
ability to handle himself In making decisions and setting priorities. 'Because of these changes
we will continue to grow In numbers and attract men of high
quality," Walker added.

Good stated In a telephone Interview yesterday that the major
differences between her recom-

be spent on student services and
more on Instructional related activities. Good said that she was
mainly concerned about putting
