(Editor's note: Associated Student Body President Phll Sherwood, Legislative Vice President
David CoUlns and Administrative
Vice President Chuck Deveau
began their year-long terms of
office yesterday. In the following article, Sherwood's admlnls-
major objectives of the new student body administration.)
With the arrival of July 1, the
executive offices of the Fresno
State College Associated Student
Body have officially passed from
the administration of BIU Jones
to that of ASB President Phll
Sherwood, Legislative Vice
President Dave Collins and Administrative     Vice     President
The Incoming administration,
like all those preceding It, was
bom amid the promises, rhetoric, fears and cheers of campaign week. At week's end, the
student body ls still left wondering, "What are these people really going to accomplish?* or "Can
any student administration really
accomplish anything?'
In response to such questioning,   the   Sherwood-Colllns-De-
program of objectives centering
around their campaign slogan of
•student needs — our number one
priority.*
Some of these objectives are:
1. Completion of the child daycare center to care for the chll-
they   are   attending  classes  or
2. Student lobbying In Sacramento and Washington, a program
that got Into full swing on May
28 when Sherwood and Collins
met with Congressman B. F.
Sisk (D-Fresno). Sherwood also
has tentative plans to meet with
California assemblymen Kenneth
Maddy and Ernest Mobley and
State Senator George Zenovlch.
3. Investigating the possible
division of the FSC Association,
which would Involve separating
the association Into two separate
corporations.
One, controlled by the Student
Senate, would operate on the funds
collected ln student body fees at
registration. The other, controlled by the Board of Directors,
would ovt—'ee the commercial
activities, (Er^kstore,Cafeteria,
College Union, and vending roa-
The division, believes Sherwood, would benefit studenU by
allowing   them   greater control
4, Improved community reU-
tions. Sherwood bas gathered together a small staff to supply
Information on student concerns
to the community. He has also
planned to speak to community
groups as often as possible.
•If we can Improve our community relations, then our reU-
tlons with the administration are
also bound to Improve,* said
Sherwood. 'While at times the
administration is oblivious to
student needs or desires, lt ls
always responsive to community
pressures,* he added.
Through improved relations,
Sherwood also hopes to see more
community support for Fresno
State's scholarship and athletic
programs.
5. Association Budget priorities.
'This last year saw the Association   budget   handled on a
said Sherwood. 'Next spring,*
he predicted, 'we will wait until
aU budgets have been submitted
to the Student Senate Finance
Committee before we sUrt sUc-
ing up the pie.*
In structure, the Sherwood administration Is almost Identical
to that of Jones.
Like Jones and vice presldenU
Nat DIBuduo  and  Terry Stone,
i with CoUlns and
Deveau. Although ln the past
students ran for office Individually, executive slates are appearing with Increasing frequency In student body elections.
•As student government became more powerful,* Sherwood
explained, 'the realization soon
came that a cohesive and unified
student government could wield
a great deal of power.* By working as a team, he added, the
three officers hopetoaccompUsh
much more than they could have
working Individually.
In addition to his elected as-
slstanU, Sherwood Is gathering
together a staff of studenU representing different areas of the
campus and many divergent
points of view.
•What the campus really
needs,* said Sherwood, "ls a
change ln tactics from confrontation to cooperation.
•It has been pointed out many
times ln studies such as the
McConneU report,* he concluded,
•that people on this campus have
not been willing to extend courtesy or respect to those who
have opposing poUUcal views.*
