According to Dr. Comegys, the
Intent of this committee would be

faculty which involved ethics and/
or behavior. He expects the committee to be slow in reporting

The decUne of sales of Campus '70, ths Fresno Stats
College yearbook, and .the rrosrlng decline of student
interest for the need of s yearbook on s college campus
has been the basis for a study undertaken by Marketing Research.
The existance of a problem wss first brought ap by
former Campus editor Brian Eggart, (Eggart resigned
and was replaced by Dana Barter) whan he noted that
yearbook sales bad been declining in the past years to
the extent that even minimal sales quotas could not be
reached. The yearbook staff was confronted with printer
contracts to honor and desired to know the economic
feasibility of further publications.
Discussions with ths editor revealed that there hsd
been a change In policy in the previous year concerning
the extent of yearbook coverage of students who were
members ot social fraternities and sororities. In
addition, no extensive promotion campaigns had been used
to develop sales and there wss s general lack*of"know

course, 'Communism in Action*
offered this spring,
Taught by Dr. Alexander Pronln, associate professor of foreign languages at Fresno State
College, the course will deal with
Soviet Communism from 1905 to
tellectuals and students, subversion of the army,' university,
family and coalition governments, Moscow-controlled guerrilla warfare and Communism's
poll ileal  economic  and military
Although basic Communist the
ory wlU be studied, the class ls
structured to show bow Communism is applied in reality, how
Communists keep power, according to Dr. Pronln.
•There ls no comparison between theory and reality,* he
said.
•The course will not show a
positive side,* said Dr. Pronln.
"For when you are dealing with
concentration camps and Nazi
terror, these are not positive
things.*
However, present struggles
such as student riots and the
Vietnam war will not be discussed. Similar problems In Russia which hare been documented
will bs discussed and students
can compare the two, according
to Dr. Pronln.

The four service area directors who were involved in the
latest changes by the new college administration are In agreement that changing their immediate superior from Dr.W.Donald Albright to Dr. James Flkes
would  not   effect  their  areas.
Two of the directors said that
they had not requested the change.
The other two did not comment.
Dr. Albright, Fresno State College dean of students was recently informed by the administration that he was no longer the
direct superior to the four areas
of the campus.
In a memorandum dated De-
comber 30, 1069, the administrative heads of the Admissions and
Records Office, the Financial
Aids office, Placement Office
and Health Office were notified
that they would no longer be responsible to Dr. Albright but to
Dr. Flkes, executive vice president.
Dr. Albright ls quoted as saying
■Dr. Flkes said that there are a
number of people who are unhappy with my work, that morale
ls low and that they are threatening to quit.*
Dr. Albright also said that ths
has talked with the administrative
heads but *I have not found them to
be unhappy nor that they requested the changes.*
Dr. Kenneth Lewis, director of
Financial Aids said that he had
not requested a change in superiors but bad been Informed

30 memo.
He also said that the change

In the type of formal reports
that he is expected to ale with
Dr. Lewis explained that these
formal reports In general do not
require any type of administrative decision but are distributed
as informational matter. He said
that..the reports are usually statistical summaries on the use ot
loans, number of students applying, etc.,, and do not deal with
individual students.
Admissions director Dr. Harry
E. Jones said that formal reports
from his office, except for personnel changes and the budget,
are basically the same as those
submitted by Dr. Lewis In that
they sre largely Informational.
Dr. Jones stressed that the
change does not alter his duties
and explained that technically all
reports go through channels to
the president.   He added that his
immediate superior ls used la a
consultative manner, that It «U

structure.*
Harold Jones, PlacementCen-
ter director, said that ha did not
request a change but refused to
comment on his opinion of Dr.
Albright's handling of the  lob.
Ha also said that reporting to
Dr. Flkes rather than Dr. Albright would not effect Ms area
and concurred with the other
directors that his written reports
were largely Informational.

Schwartz, who declined to comment either on his opinion of
