composed of faculty members and students, is responsible for the budgetary

the official news publication. A handbook and a directory, appearing soon after the
fall semester opens, contain general information about the college and an address
list of faculty and students. The college annual, the Campus, appears during the
final month of the college year. (To obtain a copy of the Campus, a reservation
fee must be paid at the opening of the fall semester and membership in the association
must be held both semesters or one semester plus· a charge of $2.50.) The
college literary magazine, Backwash, is published once each semester and is available
to students at a nominal charge. These publications are under the general control
of an eight-member board of publications composed equally of faculty and students.
STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Student organizations are encouraged, and over 100 of them representing various
fields of social, academic, vocational, and professional interests have been granted
recognition. Nine national social fraternities and six national social sororities exist
on the campus and operate group-living units. Religious interests are served by the
college religious centers adjacent to the campus. These many and varied types of
organizations not only offer an opportunity for social life but also make a fine
contribution to the development of student leadership.
Associated Women Students
All women students are automatically members of the Associated Women
Students. This organization coordinates the activities of various women's organizations
on the campus and sets standards of conduct and of group living for women
students.
Honor Societies
In addition to high standards of scholarship expected of all students, special
recognition is given to superior scholarship. The honor society of Phi Kappa Phi,
a national scholarship organization, was established at Fresno State College in 1953.
Most departments of the college sponsor honor societies, many of them national
in scope, in which membership is based upon superior college work. The Blue Key
Nation~] Honor Fraternity- for men and the Tokalon Honor Society for women
offer membership to students who have goon scholarship, are prominent in college
activities, and who have demons~ated leadership in student affairs.
