"We Demand (or Desire) a Gossip
Column"—Collegian's Mildly Interested
scratched out and desire superimposed) o continuation
of the 'Behind the Screen' column or Gossip Column."
A piece of binder-paper with an assortment
of 41 names in ink and pencil written below the
declaration brings into the open
has been gathering impetus ovei
State campus. With this group declaring i
selves upon an issue that can only be considered
of small importance, it is necessary that editorial notice be given to their request.
The Collegian is impartial regarding the
question 1
To either condone or decry the petition is not
for The Collegian to attempt at this time. That
there is enough interest in the paper to prompt
this move is sufficient for the publication.
The sentiment varies on the campus regarding the issue. It ranges from the expression "I
want a gossip column and a lot of kids want it"
to "It's nothing but prep school material and I
have no use for it." Between those two camps
the school varies.
The Collegian likes to stand and watch as a
spectator while the factions war over whether
they should or should not have their scandal
column. In this matter this publication has, no
doubt, assumed what will be termed a smug or
pompous attitude regarding the question.
Also, The Collegian hopes that there will be
more expression from all groups. Yet, The Collegian is interested merely because the question
has all the elements of an engrossing squabble
that it will be able to watch disinterestedly—
and remain on the sideline as a spectator.

The announcement today that $166,000 had
been allotted to the college for the construction
n with another $135,-
000 to be allocated by the Federal Government
to make a total of $300,000 marks another step
"     n   the   building
program planned by college officials
""   the largest enrollment at Fresno State
s beginning in 1911.
For years after our college had grown to be
1 largest state college in California,
Fresno State men were forced to do without
adequate physical education facilities and to
forego gymnasium athletics, excepting when
the facilities of high school quarters could be
obtained.
Now it appears certain that Fresno may
rank with the rest of California's colleges by
having its own gymnasium.
This is only a part of the expansion program
planned by college officials; '
planned and more allocations will be needed to
supply the needs of the college and its students;
The next building in line is a student union and
administration structure to create needed office
well as give a more modem and spa-
jp to the students.
The allocation mnde yesterday by the state
' ^cumulation of more
years' work and efforts on the part of
officials and students. When a grant of money
w.i-i mnde by the state some time ago to supply
 g needs of its state collet, Kre-no
ot apply for a portion of the funds,
ainder of the colleges. The college
u graciously refrained from taking
" ll position of the
> college
and a new $300,000 building is the approval of
the Division of Public Works of the Department
of the Interior under Secretary Harold Ickes.
>val, practically
9 expected within the next few weeks, and con-
should begin by January 1.
ie, all that is
necessary is to continue with the fullest possible speed, in order to procure the remaining
needs of the college.
