CoUegian News Editor
The Fresno State College Academic senate yesterday stepped
beyond the May 11 deadline for
giving Acting President Karl L.
Falk a recommendation on division of the School of Arts and
Sciences.
In a 32-28 vote they decided to
conduct their balloting by roaU
this week on a motion by Dr.
Philip Beach.
Beach's motion resolves that
the Senate approve the principle
of division of the School of Arts
and Sciences Into three schools,
as recommended by Falk, on the
condition that the faculties and
departments directly Involved
are consulted with respect to
their placement ln the division.
A number of senators attacked
Beach's   proposal
meeUng, but there appeared to be
no unity between either opponents
or proponents of the measure.
•Division of the School wlU
come whether we like It or not,*
said Beach. He pointed out that
Falk had expressed his desire to
divide the school months ago, but
the schools every three, years.
In this case some departments
desired to be spUt up and others
wanted to be changed to new
schools,* he said.   .
•There ls nothing wrong with
change,* he said, *but when It
does come we should be flexible
enough  so  that  changes can be
Several senators argued that
Beach's motion be turned down
because when the new president
comes Into offlce this year, be
will have his own Ideas about reorganization. Dr. Warren Kes-
sler suggested that the new president be a part ofthereorganlza-

events of the past week have
led to demonstrations on campuses aU over the country. As
you know, Governor Reagan and
Chancellor Dumke ordered state
coUege campuses closed last
Thursday through Sunday ln order
to prevent possible violence and
to give an opportunity for calm
reflection on tbe events of the
recent past.
I support fully the right to dissent. In the Ught of our present sensl"vc situation, however,
I urge that extreme care be
shown ln tbe expression of dissent at this particular Ume in
our national history.
In my opinion tbe majority of
students and faculty share my desire to keep the campus open so
that students can complete tbe
semester and seniors can gra-
semester and seniors can graduate. If you share this desire,
I strongly urge you to participate only ln those activities that
vriU help keep the campus open
and peaceful An explosive att-
' uaUon can quickly escalate, especially through tbe presence of
off-campus forces.
Therefore, I feel It is appropriate and necessary that you
discourage off-campus demonstrators from participating In
campus activities at thla Ume.
It is your college and your
decision that will determine whether the college stays open.
