Toney was then suspended from
the faculty and both criminal and
campus charges were filed
against him.
In May 1970, his teaching suspension was lifted and criminal
charges were dropped against
him. Later, a campus Investigation also failed to find sufficient
evidence to prosecute Toney.
, Campus disciplinary charges,
however, were not dropped until
after Toney notified that he would
be dropped from the faculty at the

SUMMER   has   officially arrived at  the  Fresno State  College campus, complete with sunny skies ai
scorching   temperatures^.   Meanwhile,   FSC   co-ed Karen Ahern attempts  to escape summer heat and
studies by playing frizbee near the campus's Memorial Court Fountain. Swimming in the fountain, however, is strictly forbidden by college regulations.
Admission open
for graduate and
transfer students
Admissions are still open for
persons seeking to enroll at
Fresno State College next fall
as graduate or transfer students.
According to Admissions
Officer Russell Mitchell, FSC
now haa about 9,000 applications
for fall admission, many from
freshmen. He said, however, that
the college ls now equipped to
handle a larger number of graduate studenU and students transferring   from community col-
More than 5,000 new students
are expected to enter FSC ln the
- fall, bringing total enrollment to
about 19,700.
It would be advantageous^ for
persons considering returning to
college to complete a degree or to
seek a master's degree to apply
this year, added Dr. Phyllis W.
Watts,   FSC   dean  of  graduate
The 1971-72 academic year,
she pointed out, will be the last
one for "relatively uncontrolled
growth" ln college enrollment.
Because FSC Is reaching Its student capacity wtth no additional
classrooms being built, she explained, enrollment will "level
off" In the 1972-73 year and admission will become more difficult.
Dr. Watts said that those who
begins a program this fall could,
ln effect, reserve a space for
themselves before any admission
quotas are esUbllshed.
Several new Interdisciplinary
programs have been developed
and other program* have been revised to better serve persons
within the college service area,
For   the   second'
year,   the president of Fresno
SUte College has delayed approval of the Dally Collegian budget.
FSC President Norman A. Baxter made public last week his
refusal to approve next year's
budget for tbe dally campus
newspaper pending a meeting of
the Student Senate Board on Publications.
The remainder of the 1971-72
mandatory student body fees budget was approved by the college
president.
In a meeting Ust Monday with
fall Dally CoUegian Editor Barbara McDowell and FSC Director
of Information and Printing Edward Piston, Baxter charged that
the CoUegian had failed to abide
by "professional Journalistic
standards" during the previous
year. Baxter said his major objection was to an editorial photograph ln the newspaper's final
edition   which   he termed "ob-
Baxter said he will meet with
The SUte Fair Employment
Practice Commission (FEPC) ls
expected to file a formal complaint against Fresno SUU College charging racial discrimination ln the firing of Black Chemistry Professor Joe David Toney.
The complaint ls believed to be
the first ever lodged against a
state coUege or university by the
12-year-old agency. The charges
could lead to court action against
FSC.
C. L. Dellums of Oakland, a
member of the FEPC, said that
after Investigating the firing be
was convinced that If Toney "bad
a white skin, he would have been
rehired.'
Dellums said attempts by him
to resolve the matter with the
FSC administraUon had failed.
FSC President Norman A. Bax-
spokesman, has no comment on
the matter because "he knows
nothing about it."
After Dellums signs the formal
accusation, the matter will be set
for a public hearing by the agency,
probably ln Fresno.
If the charges are upheld by
the commission, an order will be
Issued to FSC to reinstate Toney.
The order, however, could be
challenged ln court.
Meanwhile, the Toney case ls
also being Investigated by the
Civil RlghU Office of the Department of Health, EducaUon and
Welfare. Preliminary findings of
HEW also concluded that Toney
haa been the Urget of racial
discrimination.
If HEW takes action against
FSC, It could result In the loss
of federal support funds for cam -
' pus programs.
The Toney dispute began last
year when the chemistry profes-
soi and others were accused of
holding Philip Walker, FSC dean
of arts and sciences, against his
BaxUr never sttted publicly
his reasons for firing Toney, a
critic of.the college administration. The FSC president merely stated that tbe non-retention
was not based on Toney's politics
or race, but on "professionally
sound academic reasons."
According to FEPC officials,
documents obtained by the commission "shed new light'on Baxter's reasons for not re-hiring
Toney and show that Toney was
racially discriminated against by
the coUege.
AU persona interested ln applying for graduate or transfer
student admission are urged to do
so as soon as possible, added
MltcheU.

means of Insuring that the Dally

The future student president *
promised to work with the Board
on PubUcaUons, Dally CoUegian
editor and college administraUon to Insure that the newspaper-
"meets expected standards.'
"If lt does not," he warned,
•the Board on PubUcaUons will
then have to meet their responsibilities."
One year ago, then Acting FSC
President Karl L. Falk withheld
portions of the 1970-71 Daily
Colleglan budget. At that Ume,
Falk charged that the student
newspaper had tailed to adhere to
journalistic standards.
A suit subsequently filed In
Fresno Superior Court by tbe
CoUegian staff seeking to overturn   Falk's   action ' was   wlth-
