Message From The Winners
The gun had Just sounded, ending the football game between
San Dlego State and tbe Fresno
State Bulldogs, with the numbers
on the scoreboard reading 48-20
In favor of the Aztecs. Shortly
after the game, I managed to
speak with Don Coryell, the
Aztec's head coach. I questioned
him briefly about their athledc
program tn respect to scholarships and contracts.'
•When I'm recruiting an athlete, everything Is verbal until the
kid comes to school," Coryell
said. 'After enrolling, the athlete
• is given a contract to sign, for his
own protection and for the protection of the athletic department
as well.'
In Coryell's opinion one of the
Is due to the fact thai all their
athletes are treated equally in
response to their problems and
I also managed to speak with
Carl Weather,,one of the many
black athletes on thc Aztec squad,
"We don't have financial dlf-
Acuities because of contracts and
tbe Integrity of our athleUc department,' Weather said. 'Alao
we have a great respect for our
fellow white athletes, and they
damn sure better have respect
for us. as for any program that
wants to be 'big time'* you have
to act 'big time* and a written
contract is. therefore basically
essential for success.'
It's quite evident that Don Coryell and his Aztecs have discovered  a winning  formula for

with the athletes, become more
concrete as to what the athlete
will receive for his UveUhood
here at the coUege and act at a
level where all athletes are
treated as equals.
Is This Real Integration?
Blacks Round-out Frosh Squad
While everyone Is talking about
■Black Varsity players this* and
•Black Varsity players that', our
Black freshman athletes are going virtually unrecognized, especially our Black freshman football players.
Since a football team Is composed of eleven men on each unit
the freshman football team will
have trouble because there are
only five men on the freshman
football team.
We have:
Dwlght Jordan: an 18-year-old
freshman from Richmond High
School In Richmond, Calif,
Dwlght participated in football
and wrestling for the Richmond
High Oilers. Only the lack of
height kept Dwlght from being one
of the top college prospects from
the Bay Area. Other than height
Dwlght has all of the qualities
which a lineman needs: speed,
weight, quickness, etc. Dwlght Is
currently playing for the F.S.C.
freshman squad, where he Is first
strong offensive guard.
Ronnie Holly: an 18-year-old
graduate of Washington Union
High School In Easton, Calif. Ron
. Is  from Fresno. At Washington
Union Ron lettered In seven varsity sports: three years In foot-
hall; two years In basketball and
two in track. In his senior year in
football Ron received All-League
honors at defensive safety and
was one of the tri-captalns ofhls
football team. Hon was also sixth
In the Valley In the hurdles. Ron
is  currently playing first siring
Madera, Calif. Al played for Madera High School and lettered In
football three years. In his senior
year he received All-League honors as fullback and was the team
captain. Al Is presently playing
first team both ways for the
F.S.C. freshman squad, as linebacker and fullback.
Virgil B. Lewis: An in -year-
old native Fresnan. Virgil graduated from Edison High School
tn Fresno. An injury curtailed
his high school athletic career,
but his size, weight, speed, and
most of all his determination,
enabled him tostriveharder each
year. And finally Virgil Is playing for the F.S.C. freshman first
unit as defensive right tackle and
as place kicker.

Thursday night six women from
Baker Hall clashed with six butterflies from Campus Terrace.

In the spring of 1969, a group
of Black athletes met with thc
P.E. department and presented
them with a Ust of demands. One
of the demands called for was
the   hiring   of   a   black   coach.
Fresno State College now has a
black coach—namely, Jim Colbert. Before Colbert was hired'
he met with some of the black
athletes.
When questioned about naturals he responded, * Yes, I believe
in naturals, but unfortunately 1
can't grow one because of my
hair, It's too thin. When asked
If he would help black athletes
If Ihey had trouble wltlr the coach
he answered?'Well, fellows, you
have to realize I'm a coach first.
But I'll do my best to support
the black athletes*. These are
only two of the questions asked of
Colbert.
In the fall of 19G9 the football season began and Coach Colbert was ready to start his duties
as an assistant coach.. During
September all the games were
played and everyone seemed satisfied. However, during the first
week of October, a black football
player quit the team. His reason
for quitting was valid.
Table Tennis Creature
Stan Carraway was a man, but
Virgil Lewis was victorious. Last
Monday, Nov. 3 at 10:00 p.m.
sharp, the Baker Hall Table Tennis Final was the main attraction.
Approximately 100 students
showed up for the event. Three
days before thetwo-out-of-three
rounds, a local clUzen posted
posters advertising the game.
Virgil was portrayed,as an oversized balloon. Stan was made out
loaf, tall and skinny.
Virgil whipped through the first
game 21-18, leavlngStan
with some hope of recovery. But
time would tell. The second game
followed immediately. The ptay-
ers changed sides. Virgil won the
serve. Virgil took an early lead
aad rolled away wltb the scoreof
21-8. Stan could not say a word
for he tried like a tiger. Virgil
saU soon play the winner of Ho-
man and Commons Halls. Hopefully he wtll eat them.

It seems Coach Rogers promised this athlete a $1,600 scholarship If he came to Fresno
State College. Now the head
coach has to cut his scholarship
by $400. He quit the team because Ihe treatment he received
from the coaching staff was unfair.
The black athletes called upon
their great black football coach
to help them with the problem at
hand. The black coach responded
to the black athletes' request by
saying, 'Well, fellows, there lc
nothing I can do. I'm just *
coach and that's exactly what I'm
going to do. Furthermore, I have
money In the bank and a nice
house. I can't Jeopardize the position I have.'
Does Integration exist in the
P.E. department? How can lt exist? Jim Colbert Is a coach, but
Is he black?

Freano State College's student
body continued voting today on a
special referendum election in
which the Student Senate Is asking
support on Its resolut on passed
last week condemning newly appointed Acting President Dr. Karl
Falk's   administrative changes.
Voting began yesterday morn-
inue  until 5
o'clock tonight.
TheTfenate voted lact Wednesday to condemn Dr. Falk's shake-
up which ousted Dr. Harold
Walker as executive vice preeldent and Dr. Dale Burtner as
dean of the School of Arts and
Sciences.
The president appointed "In
their place two men usually associated with the school's conservative faction. Dr. James Flkes as
executive vice president, and .
Phillip Walker as dean of thecol- |
lege's largest school.
The resolution passed by the
senate aald that the reassignment
•without any consultation with
official faculty or student representatives Is unfair, reprehensible and seves to undermine any
sort of cooperation.*
It also recommends that the
president, appointed little more
than a week ago by the chancellor's office, officially reinstate
Dr. Walker and Dr. Burtner to
their previous positions.
In another vote conducted last
Friday, studenU In the School of
Arts and Sciences overwhelmingly showed support of Dr. Burt -
Out of approximately 8,000 students in the School. 982 voted.Of
this number, 874 asked that Dr.
Burtner be reinstated as dean of
the School, 81 supported Phillip
Walker's  interim
Tbe vote was called by three
senators from the School: GU
Acuna, Arlene Pierce and Tim
AN UNIDENTIFIED F.S.C. STUDENT casts a vote Monday supporting
thc Student Senate in its resolution last week condemning acting
president Karl Falk's administrative changes. Voting will continue
through this afternoon. .
Course survey group will poll classes
Wednesday to aid in spring registration
A course survey I
what classes students want and
need neat semester wlli be conducted tomorrow In all 10 a.m.
The goalofthesurvey,Initiated
by the ad hoc registration committee of the Student Senate, Is to
report the course needs of a representative sample of Fresno
State College .students.
Bruce Morris, a representa
tive of the committee, said that
students have been complaining
about registration for a long
time, and 'now they can do something about It.'
Realizing that there are not
enough of the needed classes offered, the committee hopes to Ret
a representative view of just exactly what the students want In the
way of classes next semester.
Students will be asked to fill out a
' form Indicating the classes they
would like to take next spring.
Morris said for the survey to
be most effective, students must .
know before' they go to their
10 a.m. classes what classes they
want. He suggested that students
come to their classes with a Ust
of course preferences.
The survey will be collected
after class.andthereeultswlUbe
tabulated and made public by the
end of November.

Yestercjay the formation of a
new student committee to explain
student concern and apprehension
over the administration's recent
administrative shakeup to the
non-acacemld community was
The Committee to Safeguard
Higher Education was formed to
be a standing ad hoc committee
of the Student Senate. Richard
Asarlan is executive coordinator
and former student body president Bruce Bronzan Is chairman
of community relaUons.
"We hope to show the comtnun-
Hy that we are not a bunch of
nuts but that we are interested tn
the safeguard of quality educa-
"on," Asarlan said.
"We're not going to play Into
falk's .unds and use the violence
g»me. if we can convince the
community that what we art In
terested In Is better education
then It will respond,' he said.
■After all. quality education at
Fresno State Is essential to the
community and many of Its programs. The people will bring
down Falk eventually if we show
that education Is not being served
by hlro and If we don't give the
people a reason to come down on
us."
The committee hopes to represent all campus factions:
conservative, liberal, athletic,
social and professional organlza-
Azarlan said, 'If we don't have
the support of all students and
organizations then we cannot hope
to succeed.' To this end a meeting has been scheduled tonight in
the College Y Chapel at 7 o'clock
to discuss the makeup of the
committee and the different avenues of attack lt wishes to pursue to gain communication with
the community,.
Bronzan said he hopes students
wUl be asked by social and professional organizations off cam
pus tu discuss with th'em areas
of concern, especially concerning the recent administrative
changes announced by the acting
president.
But the committee's flrst show
of strength will come Wednesday
when It holds a noon rally and
then a march to the Thomas Administration Building.
Sue Williams, a member ofthe
committee, said yesterday no
■violent confrontations* with the
administration will be 'condoned' by the group. She said the
purpose of the committee's existence is to'fttflbereducaUoo.not
help destroy it."
The committee was formed af-J
ter Dr. Falk announced last week
that he was replacing Executive
Vice president Dr. Harold Walk'
er with conservative Dr. James)
Fikes and also removing Dr. Dtlo
Burtner as dean of the School of
Arts andSeiences.PhlHlp Walker
replaced Mm as bead of the college's largest School, which encompasses 62 per centolthestudent body and 400 of tho 700 full
time faculty.
Dr. Walker and Dr. Burtner are
both regarded as moderate-liberals and were replaced with men
generally connected with the
school's conservative factions.
Protests over the shakeup have
come froinseveral quarters, Including the Student Senate and
many student organizations. The
committee was formed In hopes of
unifying student opposition to tbe
new coUege administraUon and
also of presenting a unified front
to the community.
The group is basing Its campaign on seven factors - all related to the community:
1. Students seeking quality education will go elsewhere If their
needs are not met at Fresno
State.
2. If Fresno's young people
must go elsewhere for an education they probably wlU not return
4. The community at large has     are not a
vested business Interests In the
college and a return on that Interest Is predicated on a strong
educational system.
5. Lowering the quality of education at the coUege win lower
the city's prestige and possibly
deter efforts In gaining federal
funds   for  community develop-
6. Acceptance to graduate
schools tor F.S.C. students depends on the quaUty of education
7. Lowering education standards at F.8.C. may eliminate the
possibility of the college becoming a university.
Asarlan said the committee
hopes to beat Dr. Falk at his own
game - *rT***,""t for community
support. When Dr. Falk was appointed acting preaident he said
he thought th* college should
train persons who can assist
business In the San Joaquin Valley. Now the student group Is
saying that that Interest cannot be
if the needs of the students
