Issues ethical
for Pashayan
By Mike Klingbeil

John Tower's rejection was political from the word go, rising out
or possible jealousy on the part of Senator Sam Nunn, who led his
opposition, according to congressman Charles "Chip" Pashayan Jr.
In a one-hour lecture Friday morning, Pashayan told a sparse
Upstairs Cafeteria crowd that Tower was "perhaps the most knowl¬
edgeable man in the country on defense and was turned down for the
Defense Secretary post for personal reasons mat previously were
unheard of."
Pashayan (R-Fresno) added, "There was no basis on Tower's pro¬
fessional qualifications for him to be rejected."
On a positive note, Pashayan commented that congressman Dick
Cheney from Wyoming should serve as an excellent defense secretary,
primarily because of his relationship with members of Congress.
Said Pashayan, "He brings a very good relationship with both Re¬
publicans and Democrats." However, he added that Tower was the
superior candidate when it terms of technical knowledge.
Moreover, Pashayan touched on the dilemma that President George
Bush has faced with the slow process of pulling together his cabinet
by saying, "The FBI is taking much longer than they used to [on back¬
ground checks], as a result, policies aren't being meted out...decisions
are on hold."
On the subject of President Bush, Pashayan prcdicied that there will
be fewer confrontations between ihe president and Congress than ihere

Last week the CSUF campus was a playground for the likes of
Zeus, Claudius and Pscudolus, not to mention several other lively and
historical characters.
CSUFs Classical Society played host lo the historic figures and
events that found their roots in the ancient ruins of the classical world
in celebration of Classics Week.
"What we're trying to do is io highlight and draw interest to
classical studies," said Neva Gonsoulin, president of the Classical
Society. Gonsoulin has been involved with the planning and
execution of Classics Week since it first began three years ago as an
annual event.
The week began with a fund-raising (bake sale on Tuesday and
continued with a lecture on "The Arms and Armor of the Roman
Legionnaire," a special viewing of the film version of A Funny Thing
Happened on the Way to the Forum, and concluded on Saturday <wiih a
mar.it/ion viewing of the PBS series /, Claudius.
The film /, Claudius , the highlight of the week-long event, was
described as "almost a classical soap opera; It's the intrigues and the

KFSR talk show goes without net
Campusradiostationwon^cmsoriistenersTdlifrg program

Now in its seventh year of com¬
munity-wide broadcast, CSUFs student*
run radio station KFSR 90.7 aired its
first live talk show last Monday.
"Radio Free Fresno", hosted by Bill
Pierce, a.CSUF student, airs Monday
evenings following the blues show.
Pierce discusses a current event and then
opens up the lines to listeners.
Unlike many of the commercial radio
stations in Fresno, KFSR does not have
a delay system to stop "the seven dirty
words" from being broadcast over the
airwaves.
In a live radio talk show situation, the
delay system allows the show's host a few
seconds to cut off a foul-mouthed caller in
order to avoid offending other listeners.
The fact that KFSR lacks such a system
poses a potential problem as it embarks on
its second week of "Radio Free Fresno."
In 1987, the Federal Communications
Commission began to tighten up on its in¬
decency regulations as it issued alerts to all
According to CSUF telecommunications
professor Jim Wilson, the only major Fine
resulting from the tougher FCC posture
was given to a television station for show¬
ing frontal nudity during "family view¬
ing" time. At this point, no station has
lost its license over any such flaps.
Thus far, there is no exact FCC def¬
inition of what is considered obscene or
even what is considered an acceptable
period to say certain words or show cer¬
tain parts of ihe human body.
"No guidelines have been estab¬
lished," said Wilson, referring to the
confusion among broadcasters concern¬
ing FCC indecency regulations.
To add to the confusion, the U.S.
Congress recently passed a budget bill
with a provision which disallowed any
"safe period" whatsoever for ihe broad¬
cast of indecent material.
Because federal courts are now
questioning the constitutionality of
such a measure, broadcasters have been
left to their own interpretations of
indecency regulations. "It's in a state
of flux," Wilson said of ihe measure.
Wilson, general manager and faculty
adviser for KFSR, said he did not feel
the "seven dirty words" were a major
concern at the campus stauon because
the FCC regulations were designed lo
control indecent programming more
than accidental broadcast of expletives.
