THE ARBITRARY CAPITOL
A potentially strong effort to present
•i concerted voice of the nerds and desires
ei st.itt- rxjassTSBSJ to the powers that he is
underu.iv in thr form of an association
oi student presidents of such institutions
in this state. The group, still in its first
year of existence, met tast weekend in
San Jose, where the voice of Fresno State
College made itself heard.
Featured in the general conference
were discussions and comparisons ol
manv phases of college activity, including c^rrnment. publications, speech
and dramatics, guidance and counseling.
athletics, and so torth. This institution.
as is usual in such get-togethers, was laud
rd as a shining example in student go\ -
ernment. In other student functions, it
showed in a fasorable light along side
similar colleges.
The results of the discussion panels
were interesting, and. in addition BS
bringing the strong and weak spots of the
local campus to light, thev also pointed
out the arbitrariness of the state legislature—the need for concerted voicing ol
opinion which will be conducive for the
best ends in state colleges.
Differences in state financial help for
similar functions among the colleges was
shown. For example, it was pointed out
that San Diego State College received
from Sacramento the funds for its stadium improvements, whereas these same
improvements for San Jose State College
and^FSC were paid for out of student association money.
Moreover, the head of the San Jose
speech department stated that the legislature had provided it with finances of
such an amount that necessitated onlv
approximately an additional $1,500 of
student association money, while here
last fall the association allotted to the
speech department a sum that exceeded
that by more than S1.000.
Whatever the reason for these apparent discrepancies in the allocation of
state funds to the state colleges, the student president association deserves recognition of its attempts to eliminate
them. This group of young leaders can,
perhaps, in working toward such an end.
do more than simply meet once or twice
a vear for chit-chat on "student activities." There is a possibility that they can
really make for a concerted voice of the
desires and needs of state colleges.
