with residents of the San Joaquin Valley by
recognizing that facilities here are .inadequate
and by giving as something besides sympathy
with which to work.
DEAR AMERICAN LEGION:
It was with no small amount of mingled in- .
terest and sorrow that we read earlier this week
that a leading member of your organization denounced a Frer.no group for displaying a flag
of "the Soviet Republic in the Fresno Memorial
Auditorium.
We were interested because activities of the
American Legion and its affiliated
pecially activities of national scope—are always
But we were sorrowful because we realized
that a thousand years of human history had
been so utterly ignored by your organization.
Your member claimed that displaying of the
Soviet flag was detrimental to Americair principles, that it brought ww and unwholesome
radical ideas into the United States.
Knowing your general way of thinking, this
conclusion did not astound us.
What we were surprised at was this:' that '

appropriations from the State for new campus
securing of facilities which have been so sorely lacking here.
Fresno State has been so completely overlooked during the past few years that State officials have failed to notice that while enrollment has always tended to go upwards, no
change or accommodation has been made to
meet the new conditions.
The result has been that the Student Union
and bookstore have been forced into a ramshackle building while other colleges have been
given buildings in which to house their activi-

The Association office and publicity offices
been crowded into an erstwhile classroom,
separated only by a piece of railing. While the
scope of their activities has grown, the facilities at their disposal have remained unchanged
and highly inadequate.
The student body president is crowded into
an office so narrow that a person must walk
sideways to prevent from scratching his sides.
What is mostly needed here is a new administration building to house the cafeteria and
bookstore, to provide a student lounge and .
reading room, to furnish office space for faculty members, give space for student publications offices, and take care of the General Manager, Publicity Director, and student body pres-

present set-up, men's P. E. classes are held

must be dispensed with for weeks at a time.
During basketball season, the varsity players
must fish around for a high school gymnasium
to ore, but must always use hours when it is
riot in use by the prep school in question. At
the present time, the hoopmen must confine
practice hours to from 7 until 9 at night, thus
working a hardship on coaches   and    players
Then, too, the lack of a gymnasium necessitates the renting of a structure in which to
play conference games, and the limited seating
space thus acquired has been one of the leading factors in making basketball a mi

you made the same mistake that people have
made throughout the ages, that you, in falling
to benefit by history, thought that suppression
could be successful in stopping the infiltration
' of new political ideas. If, for example, Communistic ideas arc coming into the United
States, the display of a Soviet flag will not
play of the flag prevent their coming.
When you protest against the display of the
Soviet flag, you do not aid your cause—rather
you hurt it. For by raising an issue that
would otherwise have gone unnoticed, you succeeded in giving it publicity.
And by showing the public that you—with-
• ent—are trying to act as guardian
al destinies, you arc arousing a rest has just the opposite effect than
that you have in mind.
Keep this in mind when next "you are thinking of playing guardian for the American public. And brush up on a little history and see
how futile are your efforts in keeping out new
political idear.. Learn that if new ideas are
coming, to stop them is impossible. Then, relax, and watch the Fords go by.
