COMMENTARY

from the celestial  realm
The Great Chancellor In the
Sky was taking off his spectacles
and sitting back for a deserved
rest at the end of a troubled year.
Soon, his assistant, Dr. Gabe Re
Al, hurried nervously Into his
magnificent chambers.
■Sir, Sir,* stammered Dr. Al,
•all the ends are tied up and 1970,
thank You, Is finished.'
■What a reUef. Gabe. Two
galaxy collisions and three novas

•Really. Gabe?" said thec.real
Chancellor, obviously pleased.
•How's he doing?"
' "Well, Sir." said Gabe Re Al
(obviously) ready to please), 'he

What you should
look for
in a diamond
Puzzled by the wide variety
in diamond pricing? Confused by "discount" promises
in mail-order ads and cata-
logs? Then you need some-
•one you can trust to give you
factual information about
.what to look for in a diamond. As a member firm of
the American Gem Society,
we have such a diamond ipe-
cialist on our staff. He will be
happy to properly and ethically advise you on the subtle
differences in diamond quality that affect the price you
pay. Come in and see us.

...   But,  Sir, he did get rid of
most of the troublemakers on the
faculty!"
•Now, that's good, Gabe. Did
he get rid of all the faculty who
didn't like my children?"
■Well, no...* mused Gabe,'he
got rid of all those who did. But
Sir, he did take over one department of the school and lock up all
the doors."
"Much like that German fellow
who started that war, eh Gabe?"
"Well,   kind  of,  Sir."     Gabe

An open letter to
President Baxter
Dear Sir:
In your violation of academic
freedom on this campus I would
like to remind you of this quote:
■Those who would treat politics
and morality apart will never understand the one or the other.*
-John.   Viscount   Morley,  1873.
Your political firings and purge
of Dr. Zumwalt and the otherpro-
fessors states quite clearly that
you will not allow us to question
campus. .1 would remind you
again that 'Disagreement Is the
llfeblood of democracy, dissention is its cancer*—Life. If the
free market place of Ideas cannot function on this campus then
we have lost Fresno State for
rather one big vocational school
where we graduate without ever
hearing a different point of view
and without ever really thinking;
This I call a crime and as Euripides said. 'And I'll obey our
chiefs   when they lead well, not
when they counsel crimes."

The deception came when after
talking with Baxter I was assured
his 'full cooperation".    He told I
me he would answer all questions
direct fashion." He agreed to do
the best he could and I agreed to
give him only those questions
to which an answer was possible
and not questions which were obviously phoney or derogative In
nature. I agreedtosendtheques-
tions directed by students to him
personally to Mr. Charles Dick,
his public relations man. Dick
would forward them to Baxter
and then he. Baxter, would have

agreed to. I could overlook that,
but then I started getting some
questions back, unanswered, with
tittle notes on them written by
Dick Informing me that the Pres-
answer them and that I could take
them elsewhere. He was always
kind enough to give me the names
of other persons who could answer the questions;   But Baxter
directed questions. The point
was that the students of this campus had directed questions tohlm
for his own personal answer—not
answers given by someone else.
In one particular case where Baxter had redirected a question, the
student who had written lt had
specifically asked for Baxter's
personal comment. But, In an
evasive move, Baxter redirected
the question to Acting Dean of
Students Deryle K.Allen, the king

Deryle's reply to the questions
concerning the sale of beer on

you would know what I'm speaking

questions without saying one
damn thing was utterly pathetic.
To cite some examples: when
answering the question of why
there Is no beer on campus Deryle merely replied that there are
certain "legal questions". For
goodness' sake, Deryle. we knew
that there were legal questions
about beer on campus: What we
wanted   to  know,   and  what   the

the question of what effects he
thought beer on campus would
have on students (which question,
by the way, Baxter was supposed
to answer). Again Deryle came
up with a doozle by stating that

would be but he was sure that
there would be some. Also, he
