Suspensions imply guilt
students and a professor Identified as participants In the alleged March 19 detention of Phillip Walker, acting
dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, the Fresno State College
AdmlnlstraUon has clearly Implied that these persons must be
guilty as charged. This type of action Is ln direct opposition to
established legal tenets that term a man Innocent until proven
guilty. While hearings well be held for the students Monday, their
suspensions   by   the   administration   clearly   Implies   their  guilt.
Criminal charges have been filed against the six and Jury trials
are pending. While the administration contends that their Judgemental action and the court's action are two separate Issues, the
outcome of Monday's hearings will create definite opinion ln the
community, of which the Jurors will be drawn.
In debating a resolution before the Student Senate yesterday that
called for Acting President Falk to lift the suspensions of the students until their cases are heard ln court, several students argued
for  an Investigation Into the Incident before any action was taken.
While It ls doubtful that the senate could conduct any type of a
successful Investigation under the circumstances, an Investigation
vestlgatlon   would  not   change  the fact that the administration haa
enacted   the suspensions nor would It lessen the aura of suspicion
that such a punitive action carries. .

End to oblivion
Foreign students have for many
years been ln oblivion ln Fresno
State, maybe for their lack of
Interest ln participating ln school
activities or because they have
been overlooked by their American counterparts.
This year has been an exceptional year at Fresno State ln
which the foreign students have
been outstandingly active. Be-'
sides Campus InternaUonal, the
foreign students ln cooperation
with the Foreign Student Office and the Administration have
been able to create a consultative body of elected repreeen-
taUves called the Foreign Stu

consists of fifteen members from
five geographical areas: Africa,
Latin America, Asia, Europe,
and the Middle East. The members are elected for a period of
one year, add can be reelected.
