Putting together far-sighted
and Imaginative programs ls a
real problem for Fresno State
College and all the nation's academic Institutions face ln supplying the needs of a demanding
society. So some of FSC's faculty plan to take steps to do
something about It.
Yesterday the members of the
Academic Policy and Planning
Committee of FSC discussed the
possibility of setting up a special standing committee of the
FSC Academic Senate with the
exclusive responsibility of supplying the college departments
with new and Innovative Ideas to
Improve their programs or ex-
tabllsh new ones.
Dr. Burke Zane, Chairman of
AP&P, said he Intended to draft
a recommendation to that effect
for presontaUon to the Academic
Dr. James Flkes, FSC execu
tive vice president, who suggested the possibility, said be
thought that such a committee
devote full time to working out
progressive education Ideas for
the college.
Committee member Hague
Foster said that as long as AP&P
continued to be over burdened
with referrals lhat tbey dldn's
have time for coming up with
new Ideas. Zane pointed out
that, *none of the recommendations we have sent to Executive
Committee originated here.*
Dr. Orrln Wardle, another
member, suggested another possible direction for the committee. It need not be Just prolific ln motivation. It should
also recommend subtractlve
measures and other Ideas for Improving existing programs. Tbe
committee shouldn't Just establish   new   programs,* he  said.
The Idea for getting a program

SJS students rally to correct 'injustice
Students at San Jose State are
rallying to correct what many
consider an Injustice committed
to the educational system. An
associate professor of psychology was fired February 27, be-
In a letter to Dr. Eldred E.
Rutherford, the Chancellor said,
•By letter to Acting President
Burns, I have assumed Jurisdiction over the matter of your
reappointment to the faculty at
San Jose Slate College. This
ls to notify you that 1 have
detern..ned not to reappoint you
for the 1970-71 college year at
San  Jose   State  CoUege.     Ac
cordingly, your services at the
college will terminate at the end
of the current college year.*
In a press conference yesterday, Dr. Rutherford explained
shy he was stripped of his tenure and then fired. 'Over 300
faculty strikers at San Jose and
San Francisco State campuses
were fired during the American
Federation of Teachers strike.
I was the only striker not re-
Instated by the State Personnel
Board. For reasons known only
to ChanceUor Dumke and his
attorneys, or whomever gives the
Chancellor Ms orders, 1 was
singled out as a special case and
the Chancellor's attorney challenged my reinstatement on the
grounds of striking. If 1 can be
singled out and stripped of my
tenure for excerdsing what I
believe to by my constitutional
right to strike, and then summarily fired without reason, I
suggest that similar cases can
and wiU occur lnthe near future.*
Indeed they have on many cam-
The Academic Council and Student Council have formed a resolution to ask Dumke to rescind his action against Rutherford. The Associated Students
axe co-ordinating efforts to assure the success of this resoluUon. Further action wlU be
taken to avoid tho dismissal of
Dr.   Rutherford,  who had been
strongly recommended for a full
professorship by the psychology
department.
A.S. President James Edwards
stated, ' that the action taken
by Dumke was taken purely for
poUtlcal reasons while Dr. Rutherford's teaching ability was
not considered.*
immediate and responsible action was urged by Roger Olson,
acting chairman of the Student-
Faculty Liaison Committee.
•This matter warrants serious
consideration and responsible
response by tbe community rather   than any  violent  outburst
Unless students stand together
on   this   issue   we wlU be In
flicted with «hand picked* professors who have the •right*
political and philosophical Ideas.
If our educational system is
constantly Intimidated ln this
manner where professors are

for fear of losing their Jobs, It
