THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Retreat - a positive beginning
The Fresno State College Academic Retreat began at 8 a
at the College Religious Center. The retreat, attended b)
students,  faculty and  administrators. Is an attempt lo strengthen
communication channels between the three segments of the campus.
The Dally Collegian, like the other campus news media, will
participate in tha event.
Although we do not see the retreat tobe the panacea.to the deeply-
rooted problems of FSC, lt doss appear to be a positive beginning.
We are encouraged by the fact that the retreat, a student-conceived
proposal, was able to become a reality through the Joint support of

We hope that those participating In the

simply eager to Improve their public Image.
We hope that participants will recognize the value of listening,
as weU as speaking, In the communication process.
We nope that aU sides wlU avoid stereotyping and, Instead, will
relate to each other on a one-to-one basis.
Finally, we hope that the retreat will be only the first in an ongoing series ot programs designed to Investigate and propose solutions to the problems ot this troubled campus.   -Barbara McDowell

Fresno State College Foundation: What is it?
The Fresno State College Foundation: Anyone heard of lt? Not
likely.
The FSC Foundation remains
amazingly Uttle known, even on
campus, for a group that controls
over J1.6 rolUlon a year. It Is
Involved In a wide variety of project* that affect nearly every
aspect of the coUege. ■
It handles aU scholarship and
loan funds that have been endowed by private sources, and all
- grants of land to the college.
The Foundation also acts as
an Intermediary, first buying a
piece of land needed for future
development and later selling the
parcel to the state college system
as the state legislature appropriates money. According to
Earle Bassett, general manager
of the Foundation, this tactic
saves the college money in a
market where land prices are
Inflating rapidly.
The Foundation bought the land
where Ratcllffe Stadium Is situated In this way. The 160 acres
of the main academic campus
was originally a purchase of th*
group, as was the land on which
the fraternity and sorority malls
grants and money ' tor special
meetings and Institutes. Since the
administration   of   these funds
approval from the legislature, the
Foundation administers all such
funds. Last year this amounted
to *770,000.
The group Is a non-profit corporation, Independent of the college,   but  accountable   to  FSC
ultimately, to the trustees of the
state coUege system.
The foundation Is nominally
controlled by a board of 13 governors. Including Baxter; however,
they are required to meet only
once a quarter.
The actual  administration -Is

The Board of Governors serves
nine-year terms. Nominations to
fill vacancies ar* made by Baxter and confirmed by the board
itself.

Well, today the balance of nature must be maintained If this
civilization expects to continue.
Everyone knows It, but the best
American civilization can do
to continue to warn itself. Air
pollution, water pollution, noise
pollution, pollution of the natural
resources, soil pollution, strip
mining, near extinction of eagles,
whooping cranes, alligators and
fresh-water streams, and people
pollution. AU of the above are
destroying the American clvUl-
zation, and the civilization cannot even make a sincere attempt
to correct the problems. Yet
many people will consider this
civilization further advanced than
the Indian civilization which
would not let these problems ever
Many others maintain that the
American civilization .Is far advanced based on Its technological' progress. Though lt Is true
that American technology exceeds all others, what does technology have to do with civilization?
Technology Is supposed to advance the benefits of the people's
efforts within that civilization.
