              Varsity Park may be
named for Pete Beiden
ban field, Varsity Park, has been
submitted to the chairman of the
PubUc Affairs Committee, Professor Dayle Molen, who said a
hearing wlU be held on May 20!
at 11 a.m. ln CoUege Union Room
304 to consider the proposal
to change the name of the stadium
to Beiden park.
The name Is suggested for
now retired FSC basebaU coach
Pete Beiden. who was the team's
head coach for over 22 years
and has the second largest winning record as a coach ln the
United SUtes with 601 victories.
As a coach, Belden's team
finished no lower than 3rd ln the
Central California Athletic Association while he guided the
hometown  nine   to   nine CCAA
V   tlUe.  HU  best
District Eight competition.
Belden's oner all coaching record was 601 wins to 200 losses
for a .685 percentage. HU teams
never had a losing record on the
season as a whole with Ms best
coaching effort, gamewlse, coming ln 1951 when the team had
a 36-4 record for .900 per cent.
Prof. Molen said the proposal
came from a man ln Vtsalla who
ls an FSC alumnus and was
originally presented to college
President Dr. Norman A. Baxter,
who ln turn relayed lt to the
Public Affairs Committee.
In the past there have been
several Informal suggestions that
the park be named after Beiden

proposal ls Just one of the committee's responsibilities.
He said at the meeting of the
20th testimony would be collected
■for and against* the proposal and
at the next meettng of the Public
Affairs Committee the following
week, IU members will review
ibe proposal and decide what

Prof. Molen, who Is also an
FSC JournaUsm Instructor, said
he expected a Uttle trouble ln
having   the   name   of  the  park

shown that he made a greater
contribution to baseball and the
development of the park.
naming of Ihe  building goes to
Trustees policy does not favor
naming a building or Institutional
facility after living persons; so
the trustees would hive to make
•an   exception   to their policy.*
FSC baseball coach. Bob Bennett and Sports Information Director Ed Piston both personally
agreed that It would be a complimentary gesture to rename Varsity park.
Bennett stated that the park
e Bel-
State, put th
far as baseball goes, and has
done a considerable amount for
baseball In the Valley. *I have a
lot of respect for the man,"Bennett said, "both as a player under him and as a coach, and I
think lt would Just be a good
thing to have this ball park named
after him."
Piston commented that It would
be very appropriate to have the
ball park named after Beiden because he ls responsible for the
fine program that exists at Fresno State.
•I think the Trustees regulations concerning not naming
buildings after living persons ls
pretty good. In most cases, but
like all rules and regulations, 1
think they should be flexible
enough. If an occasion arises, to
have  the   rules   superseded and

current football field, Ratcllffe
Stadium, as a similar situation.
•In 1939, when they finished
the concrete section, a petition
was Issued by then Student Body
President, Al Radka, and from
this several thousand signatures
were obtained that the field be
named for Emery Ratcllffe, who
was'the school's first football
coach, and who was active for
many, many years ln athletics
and student affairs at Fresno
State. In fact,* Piston stated, "he
wrote the ConstltuUon of our
present FSC Association."
Piston mentioned the naming
of the Frank W. Thomas Administration building and McLane
Hall on the old FSC campus,
currently Fresno Ctty College,
after former college presidents
before their deaths.
One man, Jess Rodman, who
helped make Varsity Park more
of a reality than anyone (and who
just^ recently died) might be another person to be considered If
the  Beiden proposal ls not ac-
Rodman was a very staunch
supporter of Fresno State, especially In baseball, and he donated a substantial portion of the
money to help build the fences
and home dugout at the present
park. 'He also left money for
scholarships to the College,*
Piston said, "of which a majority
goes to Agricultural studenU and
some for Physical Education and
Athletics."
Whoever the choice, strong
support from the community ls
needed to change the name of
Varsity Park.

champion San Jose State for the
PCAA UUe 85-75. San Dlego was
third at 60, Los Angeles came ln
fourth with 42 and SanU Barbara
edged Fresno for last 29-26. It
was the first time ever FSC has
finished last ln the conference
for track.
The valley sportswriters and
sportscasters yesterday picked
Tlce as their player of the week
for his PCAA performance.
Strangely enough lt was shoulder problems which led Tlce to
pick up the 16 pound ball and
chain. After two years at Contra
Costa J.C, Keith came here as
a shot and discus contesUnt.
The shoulder, though, forced him
to redshlrt last year and during
that time he took up the hammer.
'Keith ls outstanding for a
first-year hammer thrower and

NCAA nationals ln June.*
One of the better efforts came

from Jim Dowdall who dropped

Roger George, FSC's outstanding freshman decathlon prospect
from Rlverdale, gathered 6,763

Cook fells of horrors, deceptions in Vietnam
i small group In
the College Union Lounge last
night, Jerry Cook, recently returned from Vietnam where he
was a member of Congressman
Paul MeCloskey's party, told of
the horrors and the deception he
had seen while on that tour.
•Near the end of our tour, we
visited some of the relocation
camps set up for refugees from
Laos,* Cook said. 'We were told
by Embassy officials that the
people had fled their homes as a
result of Communist action, but
the story we got from the people
was quite different.*
•The people,* Cook continued,
•many of whom had missing limbs
or scars, told us they had fled
their homes because of American
bombing.*
•They were able to describe
tbe planes quite accurately,'
Cook said.
Cook described a type of prison that the American people have
not yet been exposed to, the Cattle cage. Similar to the Tiger
cages which made the news not
long ago, the Cattle cages, ac-

The statewide Chlcano commencement ls being organized as
an alternative to regular "Anglo"

Chlcano activists at San Jose
State. Any Chlcano from around
the state graduating ln January,
June or summer term 1971 may
participate, according to Chlcano Commencement organizers.

we must demonstrate and communicate the 'OrguUo' which we
have toward our Chlcano graduates - and that only a Chlcano

•They are only a Uttle larger
than the Tiger cages, but they Jam
ln so many people that no one
can even move.*
•They have no room to turn,
sit, sleep, or even go to the
bathroom,* Cook said. -This ls
one of the common types of torture used, by the South Vietnamese, but It ls certainly not the
only type.*
Cook, who was raised ln Clovls, Is a graduate of the University of the Pacific, and ls currently an assistant teacher at
that school. Selected to go on
the tour while a member of the
White House Conference on
Youth, he ls quite candid about
what he saw and what he thinks
he and the Congressmen were
denied permission to see.
•Although they (Embassy officials) told us that very UtUe

Many of the things we take for
granted In the United States, such
as the right to-trial, do not exist
In South Vietnam, according to
Cook.
•There really la no Judicial
system," Cook charged. "In each
of the provinces, they set up what
ls known as a Province Security
Committee, on which there are
six military officials and one
elected official. These men Judge
and convict anyone of any crime,
or, of Uck of faith ln tbe South
Vietnamese government."
If the Individual ls not convicted by the PSC, he ls sent
before another body, the Province Interrogation Center. In
this center, they can be held and
"Interrogated* for up to 46 days.
■The cia set up these Interrogation centers," Cook said, "and
the Vietnamese are proud of the
fact that lt never takes more
than 30 days to get a man tocon-
fess to the crime he l,s i

Dymally seeks summer

State Senator Mervyn M. Dymally has announced plans to set
up a summer task force of coUege
students to probe state tax loopholes "that allow the wealthy,
the shrewd Investor, the corporations and banks to escape
their fair share of taxes."

•Much has been made of the
fact that Governor Reagan violated no laws ln not owing state

said. 'But such examples certainly stretch the concept of fairness  and  equity  ln  taxation."
Dymally said, "Ralph Nader
