4 THE DAILY COLLEOtAN Tueaday, February 2, 1971 Zumwalt ouster continues to influence campus affairs • . fly Burton Swope V CoUegian Editor-ln-chlef It has been almost two months since the acting dean of the School of HumanlUes led a contingent of campus police and locksmiths Into the Engllsh Department, summarily removed the chairman and vice chairman, bolted the doors to the main office, padlocked the department's files and proclaimed himself the new ac'ngchairman. The Initial shock of that action has since worn off, succumbing inevitably to the mellowing Influ- names of consultants to conduct an Investigation Into the governance problems of the college, excluding conslderaUon of the- Zumwalt demotion and faculty The consultants, Professor of English Gordon Love, University of Oregon, Academic Vice President Richard Bond, Illinois State rslty, break and spring registration, bi the fallout from the Incldentcon tlnues In the form of lnvestlga tlons, calls for Investigations committee reports and promise of legal action.

Both resolutions reflected growing faculty apprehension over such things as the ouster of Dr. Eugene zumwalt as chairman of the Engllsh Department and recent faculty non- .AUP The vote In favor of the legislative Investigation was clearly a rebuff to president Dr. Norman A. Baxter, who favors resoluUon of campus controversies within, and by members of, the campus community. However, reluctance of some faculty members to go along with a legislative Inquiry was Indicated In the votes on both voted for the formal AAUP Investigation voted against the leglsla- Prlor to the Assembly's passage of the resolutions, Baxter had asked the AAUP to suggest AAUP President David Fellman, University of Wisconsin, and former President of the University of Northern Iowa William Mauck- er, visited FSC on Jan. 19,20 and 21. They Interviewed more than 30 persons in the administration, faculty and student body. Results of their findings are expected to be released at the end of this Although the AAUP participated in the Investigation by suggesting the names of members to serve on the consultant panel, It was not a formal AAUP Investigation. In voting for a formal investigation, the faculty seemed to be telling Baxter they wanted an Investigation of greater scope and professional weight. man AAUP or legislative probe has been announced. According to Zumwalt, State Senator George Zenovlch Is still pressing the legislature for an Investigation but At present, Zumwalt's and former English Department Vice Chairman Dr. Roger Chlttlck's case Is pending before the State Personnel Board. •We're still attempting to get the Personnel Board to accept Jurisdiction of the case,* Zumwalt said.

However, he said, he is prepared to take legal action if it becomes necessary. One aspect of the controversy surrounding Zumwalt's removal that worries many In FSC's Uber- al camp Is the effect pubUclty of the demotions may have had on the former chairman's professional Image. In an apparent attempt to head off doubts about Zumwalt's academic and professional competence arising from the Incident, the English Department requested an Investigation by the Engllsh Council of the California State The Council Is composed ofall English Department% Chairmen plus one Engllsh prolessor from each of the departments of English In the 19 California State Colleges. After the FSC Engllsh Department had consulted with the Executive Committee of the Council, a special three-man Investigating committee visited the college on Dec. 14. Members of the Investigating team were Dr. Eugene H.Soules, President of the EngllshCouncIl, Dr. Doublas H. Taylor, English Department chairman, Stanislaus State College, and Dr. Edward M. White, EngllshDepartment chairman, California State College, San Bernardino. The committee was quick to try to erase any doubts about Zumwalt's behavior as chairman of the English Department. In a recently released report the committee stated Zumwalt had behaved with the "utmost professional propriety* in his former missal should In no way reflect upon his academic qualifications or professional Integrity,* the the committee reported It became ■Immediately aware* of the long history and "real seriousness* iJ. v/ PREMIERING Februrary 8-12 x* FRATERNITY RUSH Time: 7-11 PM.
