RADKA SPEAKS
Dear Fresno State College:
Well, here it is June again and time (or us to
be leaving you. Some of us will be back in September to renew our acquaintance with your Cardinal and Blue, while others will seek new fields
of endeavor. Wc who arc departing envy those
who are coming back. You have been a perfect
host and wc couldn't have asked for a better time.
The 19-10-11 school year seems all too short
now as wc look back on it. It was not long ago
when wc darned near beat San Jose on the gridiron, but, alas, wc failed you. (Our only alibi is
this: San Jose has horseshoe pitching as a major
sport and every time we play them in football,
they always bring over part of their horseshoe
equipment.)
But our baseball and track teams stuck up fot
you in grand style, winning two CCAA championships. Our basketball team tried hard, but we
think they were still kind of seasick when their
regular league season started.
Speaking of the athletic teams, wc want to
thank you for all the colorful traveling jackets
you gave our athletes. It is certainly a miracle
how you work that budget around to meet all the
When you stop and think about the new $75,000
Ratcliffe Stadium enlargement and the recently
completed $35,000 baseball park, not to mention
tbe new $165,000 student union, it is truly remarkable how you make the dollars stretch when
they need stretching.
But wc daresay that you will come out okch
when budget fixing time rolls around in the fall
-. . . that is, if your enrollment holds up ... and
if we have the right idea about the spirit of Cardinal and Blue, it is a sale bet that most of the
freshmen, sophomores and juniors will be back
to say "hello again!'' in September.
Of course, there is this gol darn war to contend
with, and there's no telling how long it will take
for the world to catch up with Hitler and pin his
moustache back. He is the most elusive fellow
we have ever known, and boy, die members of
the senior class are plenty burned up at him. You
see, Mr. FSC, it's awful tough to live through
four swell years at your establishment and then
walk out the front door to put on an army uniform. We were not counting on that at all when
we first wore our green dink caps 'way back in
1958, but the pages of history have played a dirty
trick on us, and it's all Hitler's fault.

a fine.
wo sir! You have
thankful for it. (Which reminds us, you had bet- i
cer keep that Frank W. Thomas fellow on the
payroll. He is one reason why you're rhe fine college you are, and while we're about it, we might
as well put in an appreciative word for ALL the
faculty. We have certainly enjoyed knowing them
and here's hoping the feeling is mutual.)
- Well, it's time to leave now, so bat's wishing
you the very best of luck, Mr. FSC, and if we
find time to get around to raising families after
this war is over, you can bet the last dollar in
your budget rhat our sons and daughters will be
seeing you some nice day in September. So long
foe now.
Sincerely yours,
AL RADKA,
President, Associated Students,
The Fresno State College Collegian.
