From: Frederic W. Neee
la mid-August tte peroonnel
offlce received s rooemeranao-
ttaa from tte offlce of tte Dean
of Arte sad Sclencee for the ap-
H t-Bl■ nl of Marvin X (Jackmon)
to Bm Ethnic stadtae program.
Since the Ale waa tacking the required loro-jsmartea agreed upon by tte Council of Academic
Deans snd tte central administration on Februsry II, 1949 for
all full-time academic appotnt-
meet recommendaUona, the folder was forwarded by the personnel office to tbe Acedemlc Vice
lo, on Aaguet 22,
I tte Dean of Arta and
ln writing for the re-
gatette letterg of recemmenda-
ttaa. Thig request was repeated
ln writing on September 18.
Tte Council of Academic Deans
aag the central administration
had oleo on Feb. 12 agreed that
the administration would bo Involved, or at least Informed, tn
the eerly stages of rsvlew when
the candidate under consideration
did am meet the uaoally expected
quail A cations. This was clearly
understood to refer to Irregular-
Ittae In the record and wee go
speUed out In the preliminary
draft.
The administration was not
alerted by the Dean of Arts and
Sciences to any unusual problems
in the recommendation for thU
candtdats. A routine check which
le mods on all new employ ess.
however, revealed misrepresentation in the candidate's employment application, dated August
11, 1900. Further investigation
dtacloeed ttet he ls under Indictment on felony chargee In the
U.S. Dtatrtct Court, San Franclaco.   Details of theee charges

are a matter of public record.
Possible legal implications of
tte case neceealtated consultation with tte Chancellor's
calving s complete file, I would
nevertheless be willing to sus-
peod my own doubU In tte matter
and support hie recom mends -
tion.
With the concurrence of the
Deen of Aru and Sctaneee and
Professor Keyes, and after a
conference call with the Chancellor'a office, I arranged a
meeting on Sept. 26 among membera of the Chancellor *g office
and representatives rrom the
campus (Presldsnt Nsss, Vies
preeldent Baxter, Dean Burtner,
Profeeeor Keyes, Mr. Garcia j
to discuss all matters rotating to
this recommendation At that
conference and suteequently It
wss made clear that, although
the    Chancellor   seeks  to avoid
Broten
(Continued from Page '.)
Wedneeday, September 24, the
L.A. Times cited the chancellor's
view that matters concerning faculty appointment and tenure are
best handled on each individual
can.pus. It Is here that an instructor's quail fl cat tons ran best
he evaluated. These were just
words." Rroter. and his staff declared becauae "the very next
day Chancellor Dumke informed
President Neee that Marvin X
muat not he hired."
Backed hy Allen Ishtda (first
vice president . nob Braltman
second vice president), and
Pregtdent Pro Tern of the Student
Senate Gil Acuna, the student
body president said the blatant
lark of faith and gross hypocrisy
of the chancellor's office can he
noted lu the prepared guiement
by Preeldent Negg yesterday.
H rot en Is referring to a sentence In Presldsnt Ness' statement which read, 'although the
chancellor seeks to avoid interference wllh campus decisions,
the appointment of this candidate
(Marvin X) would not he acceptable to the chancellor's office."
Broten declared racism wag a
factor In the refusal to hire
Marvin X.
•. . To those of us who are
familiar with the situation the
denial to hire Msrvin X smscks
office Mattsrs of concern were
tte cendtdte's mlereareoen-
t at ion on hla application form, hts
renunciation of U.S. clttsenehlp,
and his present Indictment.
A review of the mstetisls contained ln the folder submitted
by the office of tte Dooa of Arte
and Sciences showed that ths
applicant has an Associate of
A rts diploma. The record of
Us teaching experience wae
unclear, although the record did
contain evidence of hie activities
aa s writer. Without prejudice
to his other accomplishments.
It was my judgment, as relayed
to the Dean of Arts and Sciences, that hts academic qualifications for membership in
the Fresno SUte College faculty
wee minimal. At that time I
stated to the Dean of Arts and
Sciences that, pending further
developments  and    on    our re-
cleerly of racial, or religious.or
political discrimination. Perhaps
all three."
The four student leaders told
those gsthered at the conference
"instead of Insulating the public
colleges of California from petty
political interference, the chancellor, and Indeed the Board of
Trustees themselves, constitute
the major avenue through which
such pressure ia directed to the
campus. When the chancellor
meddles in the internal academic
affairs of any college he violates
the basic tenets of education
Itself.'

Subsequent to that meetine tte
Deen of Arts sad sclencee, at his
own Inltlstlve, withdrew his recommendation in writing; (as of
Sept. 22), lodtcating that "if
