GOSPEL GRANT
The City of Fresno Parks and Recreation Department's Cultural Arts Office,
has been awarded a S10,000 grant from
the National Endowment For The Arts
(NEA) to have the Wright Brothers as
Folk Artists in Residence during the
Spring of 1982 (March through June).
This means that they will give free concerts to the public in schools, parks,
community centers and theatres.
The Wright Brothers are nationally
known gospel folk singers. They are
recognized as one of the most authentic
groups still singing. The Brothers have
sung together for 48 years, and have
appeared at the Folk Fesirval at the
Smithsonian in Washington. DC., the
San Diego Folk Festival, Tucson. Arizona Folk Festival and the Western
Regional Folk Festival in San Francisco.
The City project will be directed from
the Cultural Arts Office by Mabelle Sel-
land. Cultural Arts Supervisor. Gene
Marzette. Black Studies Instructor at
Fresno City College, and Gene Blues-
tein. Folklore Specialist and English
Professor at CSUF, will develop historical materials to be used for classroom
instruction and in program notes for
general performances. Margaret Ginet,
Teacher of Folk Music for Fresno Unified School District and CSUF. will
coordinate the project Mrs. Ginet coordinated Bessie Jones' appearances
when Bessie served as Folk Artist In'
Residence at CSUF in 1979-1980.
Although the grant has been awarded
by NEA. the local community must raise
$5,000 in matching funds from individuals, businesses, and organizations.
A committee, chaired by Richard
Keyes, has been formed to solicit donations. The funds must be raised by the
15th of March, in order that the Wright
Brothers can be scheduled in schools
this Spring. Donations in any amount
are welcomed! however, it will take only
50 donations of $100 each to reach our
goal and have the Weight Brothers singing in our schools by March 15, 1982.
Any individual or business, who
would like to sponsor an individual concert for a particular school may be listed
as a sporjsor, if they donate $250.00.
Tax deductible donations should be
made payable to "Wright Brothers
Fund," and mailed to: 3030 E. Harvey,
Fresno. CA 93701.
Fresno is fortunate to have a group of
outstanding folk artists who represent a
truly American tradition. The Wright
Brothers, whose gospel singing of authentic gospel music, has made them
well known throughout the United
States, while few people in Fresno have
heard them. We now have an opportunity to change that
Interviews with the Wright Brothers,
Gene Bluestein, Gene Marzette or Richard Keyes can be arranged by calling

Professor faces possible dismissal
A tenured CSUF professor faces possible dismissal, it was reported Friday.
John O'Brien, of the finance and industry department, is alledgedly charged with
using unprofessional conduct with colleagues, according to an article in Friday's
Fresno Bee.
O'Brien will be relieved of classroom
duties effective today.
English Professor Kenneth Seib, who
has read the dismissal letter sent to
O'Brien, said that the charges have
nothing to do with O'Brien's teaching ability, according to the Bee article.
"The really important principle is the
principle of tenure. It's (O'Brien's possible
dismissal) a very serious breach of tenure,"
said James Smith, president of the United
Professors of California in the Bee article.
Smith said that UPC will provide
representation for O'Brien at his hearing.
O'Brien reportedly plans to fight all
charges.
O'Brien will face a closed hearing
before a CSUF panel. The panel will make
a recommendation to CSUF President
Harold Haak following the hearing.
Should the panel recommend dismissal.
O'Brien would have the option of appealing the decision to the Chancellor's Office.
Dismissal of tenured faculty is rare;
once tenured, a professor is practically
guaranteed a lifetime position.
It has been five years since a tenured
CSUF professor has been dismissed. In
1977. a faculty panel recommended that
enology professor Sigmund H. Schanderl
be dismissed.
O'Brien came to CSUF in 1965. He
received his doctorate from Notre Dame
Universitry after having been graduated
from the University of London.

Unions battle for faculty support
By Richard l.enti
Daily Collegian Contributing Writer
With the recent election between the
Congress of Faculty Associations and the
United Professors of California resulting
in a virtual tie. a run off will be held to
determine which union will represent the
CSU faculty and academic support units
in upcoming collective bargaining efforts.
When both unions received 42 percent
of the vote, with the no agent option
mustering 16 percent, a run off situation
surfaced because a majority vote was
needed.
Since the no agent option won't appear
on the ballots to be mailed April 14. one
union will emerge victorious when the
final votes are received by May 4. and then
tabulated.
But April 16 is six weeksaway. And six
weeks is a long time for both unions to
work on their campaigns designed to lure
that unconvinced 16 percent.
The UPC will use criticism to stress the
differences they perceive between themselves and the CFA. said Jim Smith, local
chapter president and philosophy professor.
"We want lo be more critical." Smith
said. "During the fall, we didn't attack
(CFA). so people assumed there was nothing here to attack.
"We won't change very much our basic
ides of protecting faculty goals and faculty
interest...obviosly. the overall goal is to
win the election." he saioS
The CFA will continue to pursue what
Arthur Margosian. local chapter president
and journalism professor, called a "low
key" approach.
"UPC's tactic is to attack, strike out."
Margosian said. "We're a little more
quite...stabler.
"The problems of the' university can
best be solved in the university family.
than trying to grab headlines." he said.
The headlines caused by the budget
crunch currently facing the CSU system
are a source of concern for the two unions.
BoththeCFAand UPC claim they can
do a better job representing faculty up in
Sacramento.
Margosian: "CFA is a better choice of
the two...We can better reprrsent faculty'
at the slate level."
Smith: "We clearly have a better record
in the legislature and in protecting faculty
rights at the individual campus level. "

Sixteen CSUF students, mainly drama
majors are participating in the class. They
arc nurtured through a course in personal
development and attainment of individual
goals. "We take each student from the
level he is already at. they are not in
competition with anyone except themselves." Randall said.
'Ihc class is concentrated on scene

presents it before the group." he said. "The
assumption is that the student is working
at all times on some scene, and they arc
