"From our observations," states tbe editorial, "there are a number of students who visit the coed lounge to study, relax or practice the piano located there.

They are in hopes of acquiring more precision In their marching, better sound and more spirit." The axe came down on part-time students 20 years ago when they were required to purchase a student body card. A Daily Collegian editorial expressed the sentiments of the full-time student. "Limited students have been getting away with murder, but they've finally been caught in the act. The Board of Directors approved a bill this week to charge limited students $5 for student body cards. That simply means these sly moneybags, who stomp into one or two classes a week will finally have to pay for privileges they've been taking advantage of." The Vietnam War became a major concern among students in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Fraternities and sororities lost their glamour as students searched to find their own identity. Numerous demonstrations, newspaper articles and editorial cartoons helped make Fresno State and other college campuses a focal point in the fight to end tbe war. During that period, students voiced many other complaints including tbe quality of food in the College Union, another proposal to raise student fees (which Governor "Ronald Reagan vetoed) and the chaos of registration.

A student responded, "It's always easy for them to say that behind their plush desks." Veneral disease became another problem among young adults. It was estimated by officials in 1973 that three in 1,000 Fresnans had contracted the disease.
