Governors should relinquish 'powers'
After four years of study, the Carnegie Commission on Higher
EducaUon released a report enUUed 'Capitol and Campus* last
week, ln which lt attempted to make recommendations and set guidelines tor higher education for the remainder of the century.
One suggestion, submitted by the 19 distinguished educators and
citizens, was to have the governors ot every state voluntarily relinquish some of their powers and modify others to diminish the
tremendous Influence given to one man over public colleges and
universities.
The commission based Its recommendation on the plethora of
powers and duties assigned to the state executive, Including his appointments to governing boards and coordinating agencies, his role
as policy leader ln serving as chairman or voting member on such
boards, and his prerogative to approve or disapprove budget allocations from slate • funds to the campuses as weU as veto or sign
Into law legislation affecting higher education and Its goals.
The commission proposed that the governors not serve as chairmen or voting members of the various agencies and governing boards
of the state's colleges and unlverslUes, and that their appointments
"     *" —Je «wlth the advice and consent
The commission has pinpointed om
Ing the growth of higher education <
California ln particular. California's educators and students have
become weU aware of the extent of the influence the governor possesses ln wielding his many powers over the state educaUon system.
However, the commission's suggesUons wlU probably go unheeded,
since few governors, ours Included, would be willing to forfeit anything which gives them an edge ln the nitty gritty power plays of state
poUUcs.
The commission members, led by their chairman Clark Kerr, ex-
presldent of U.C. Berkeley, aware of the realities of politics concluded, "the best assurance that a governor's various powers . . .
wlU be used well, is to elect a governor who understands the Importance of a healthy college and university system to the growth
and development of the state."
"It Is doubtful that even the most carefully designed procedural
lack of understanding when It occurs.*

Chicago isIUlnols,andChicago
is also America's finest "big"
rock band. Their appearance tonight at Selland Arena promises
to be a continuation of Fresno's
finest concert season to date.
The seven-roan group has been
Inventing their sound for three
years now, and stiff competition
from other large groups (such as
Blood, Sweat, and Tears; De-
laney, Bonnie, and Friends; and
the standard rock singers backed
by big bands) has seen them
emerge at the top after each al-
great musician*, great writing,
and timing of album release (not
to mention a fine label -Coluro-.
bla). Their first album, released
while they stlU were known as
Chicago Transit Authority, startled many persons who were accustomed to BS&T quietness. Th*
horn section ofCTA. coupled with
the most brilliant rhythm and
guitar section formed In some
time, literally forced many top
groups to the side in Chicago's
youthful drive to stardom. "Free
Form Guitar""and the old Spencer
Davis hit "I'm a Man* are two
examples of the revolutionary
sounds CTA produced on their
debut album.
After successful tour appear-
s, the groupretalned only the
nrst pert of their old nam* and
•Chicago" rel*as*d another sensational album. This second LP
showed the further maturing of
the band with songs varying In
style from "25 or 6to4*toJWeat
Virginia Fantasies,* and the
meaningful *It Better End Soon.*
•Chicago III* features a harder,
meaner sound with tunes such
as "Free* (the big AM radio hit)
and 'Sing A Mean Tune, Kid.*
This third album wlU no doubt
be featured at tonight's concert.
Concert Ume Is 8 p.m. at Selland Arena, with only a few tickets
at $5 remaining as of press time.
No supporting acts have been announced.

It has been clear for some
time that much of the trouble on
this campus stems from the lack
of communication between the administration and the student body.
The Inability of an Individual student to confront top administrators and get a meaningful answer
to a question has been a stumbling block to peace and educational tranquility at Fresno SUte
College for years.
It Is time for a new policy lo
be put Into effect - one which
will allow the students to be
heard, and to get accurate, truthful, non-evastve answers from
the administration, and from
President Norman A. Baxter ln
particular.
Therefore, this proposal —
set aside an hour or two out of the
week for a "press conference,"
to which any registered student
or campus press representative
could come and question Dr. Baxter, or one of his top aides, and
get an honest answer to an honest
questldn.
This technique will accomplish
many goals: it will show the students that Dr. Baxter is in fact
interested tn the welfare of the
student body and in the educational processes here at FSC; It
will demonstrate to the community that there ts meaningful communication possible between students and administration, and It
will perhaps extract this campus
from the problems which have
plagued It for years.

William Calley - Superstar?
'Crucify him' they said
So the trial is over. And William Calley has been found guilty of
the premeditated murder of no less than twenty-two of the over one
hundred and twenty Vietnamese civlUans ln the My Lai massacre
of 1968.
But Instead of the condemnation that might legitimately have been
expected for such a heinous crime, a vast number of people ln
America have surprisingly taken up his cause and called Calley
•a hero* — not a murderer. This nation, so shocked at tbe magnitude
of its own crl me, now seeks to deny lt entirely. Calley Is no wanton
murderer, they say - he is Just a product of the army, the Administration and thercountry's foreign policy. He ta not responsible - the
government alone is. But then, who Is the government, ln this so-
called democratic nation?
International Week Program
is scheduled for April 19-24

Certainly we must agree that Calley should not be .m— . .s^.-
goat for this country and the sickness of IU society, certainly he
should not be made to carry the burden of America's guilt on Ms
shoulders. But then.neither should he be revered .
go free and unpunished when found guilty of the
twenty-two defenseless women and children.
There is nothing we can now say or do that will bring those people
back again. And there Is no way ln which Calley can atone for the
wrong he so crueUy wrought on that vile day ln 1966. But we, whose
reaction to Calley's sentence seems sicker thanCalleyhimself, have
no right to forget. We have, In fact, the duty to remember. In the
words of actor Harry Andrews in Sydn.sy Lumet's film (about a wartime prison camp) caUed "The HlU*. "We're not celebrating a victory - we're patching up a bloody disaster!*
If then, there Is one lesson that the trial and the public's subsequent undue reaction brought home to us lt Is that, to an American
(and perhaps to Westerners' in general) Asian life is cheap. Calley,
many people conveniently rationalize, was only doing his duty. Duty
to whom? Humanity? They call Calley, moreover, patriotic. Patriotic to what? Mankind? It "would seem that there can be UtUe true
humanity ln a society that becomes Indignant at one man's temporarily suspended sentence to a hard life - whilst seemingly far
less perturbed by over a hundred other human beings' sentence to a
sickening, senseless and bloody death.
We hear tumultuous protestations against one American's ad-
Judged deserved sentence to 'life* and virtually nothing against tbe
123 Vietnamese civilian's brutal, undeserved and unnecessary sentence to death. What Is one thus drawn to think? That one American's
life, in the eyes of other Americans, Is worth more even than over
ONE HUNDRED Vietnamese? What damn presumptuousnessl Asian
life IS cheap then, and this society, which determines its own values, as does any other, Is apparently more cruel, more Inhuman
than anyone ever dared think.
This week has seen the end of Easter. But for some the spirit Uves
on, In the personal Calley. They claim that he is being persecuted.
They claim, ln fact, that he Is being crucified for tho sins ofthe
whole world of America. There is perhaps some substance to this,
as we have acknowledged. But ln their eagerness to thrust away his
cross and hence deny their own sense of guilt, they go too far. Thus
Calley becomes not, as they would have us beUeve, another Jesus
Christ - but Barabbas.
-Mark Anthony
(Editor's Note: This editorial was written before the writer read
excerpts from the letter that Calley's prosecutor, Aubrey Daniel,
sent to President Nixon and which was published In Time Magazine
(April 19, page 13). As his letter reinforces this point, we would
direct our readers' attention to it.)

The foreigners' at Fresno State
If y
e Interested in what
America is doing for the world
and TO the world, then you cannot afford to miss 'The Foreigners*. To be shown next Tuesday
and Wednesday as part of International Week, "The Foreigners"
Is a starkly real, sensitive and,
perhaps, disturbing film.
It Is filmed in the lush green
and beautiful highlands of Colombia, ln South America, where a
group of young Peace Corps Volunteers are working, organizing
the community; health and agriculture. The film starts with a
provocative -discussion in tho
form of a bull session among the
PCV's, where not only is their
foreign policy of America lUelf,
as well as the resistance, apathy,
and dl :~ouragement they And ln
dealing with govern ment officials
of their host country.
The film examines the subject
of cultural influence and Imperialism, and the alternatives.of
modernization by revolution or
by reform. It well Illustrates the
frustrations of volunteers as they
seek to help the natives bring
change to a system so rigid and
Immutable that revolution seems,
perhaps, to be the only alternative.
•The Foreigners* is an honest
film - particularly when one
considers that lt was intended as
a recruitment film for the Peace
-Corps. It poses basic questions
about the U.S. Involvement in the
Third World, yet provides noan-
swers. lt Is a film not to be
•The Foreigners* will be
shown first ln the CoUege Union
