ITER TO THE EDITOR
-The Fresne State College Collegian-
■rare Reporters
DenrBjr:
We are what Mr. Mitchell calls
in his letter, "second-rate cub
reporters." There Is one big dif¬
ference in our attitude and bis.
We believe In the great tradi¬
tions of the free press In this
great nation. We believe that it
la the right of the Collegian to
print what It sees fit.
We admit to the cub reporter,
but we can't understand where
Mr. Mitchell started If It wasn't
at the bottom of his Job. Every¬
one must get a toehold, before he
can  start on  the road to success.
School papers have the Job of
promoting the school to the stu¬
dents and the outside. The paper
has a secondary Job of promoting
school spirit. This fhe Collegian
did by playing along with a
rather shabby trick.   .
The paper wasn't chagrined at
losing a scoop. It was inore con¬
cerned with the school and the
possession of the (500 dog
didn't belong to the school. They
were more concerned with the
fact   that   some   of   the  student:
a spot designated specifically for
him.
Tours for decent reporting and
honest effort,

No More Please
Editor,  Collegian
I. for one. am sick and tired
of hearing about tbe Bulldog in¬
cident, good or bad as It was.
I am as equally as sick and tired
of hearing a few selfish and hurt
Individuals trying to find scape¬
goats for their childish, unwit¬
ting publicity stunt which blew
up In their faces.
Jim Mitchell, apparently a new
student unfamiliar with the
school and the community by the
sound of hla letter, chastises the
Collegian for exposing the stunt
as a hoax. The Intentions of the
hoax were good, but not enough
thought was given to the probable
consequences. The Collegian did
not have to editorially blast the
Incident. Fresno State students
are not that naive. They knew
what was going on. and the low
ebb of spirit shown at the game
displayed  their  contempt   for  the
age
most brilliant clauses in the Con¬
stitution gives the "freedom of
editorial opinion" to papers
throughout the land. This In¬
cludes school papers. The Colle¬
gian Ib duty-bound to editorialize
anything It deems worthy of an
editorial.
Mr. Mitchell seems to think
that if the news was given to all
the communications outlets In
Fresno, the story would have
been spread all over the city. This
isn't always the truth. Often the
papers co-operate with their
sources and hold a story until It
Is Just the "right" time to release
It. This occurs when a city might
be panicked by the threat of epi¬
demic, or other horrendous cri¬
ses. It is often good for Hie. public
to remain uninformed for a brief
period.
"Make a scandal of success."
says Mr. Mitchell. That Isn't as
nefarious as he would .have us
believe.' The muclirakers did
make scandal of the successes of
the meat packers, child labor
laws, and many other areas.
They   worked   on   the   principal
these ehabby dealings. One could
hardly call grand larceny a nice
thing.
This unfortunate incident has
cost the time and effort of many
Collegian staff members. They
tried to get to the bottom of the
story, but were thwarted by the
students. Students are their
readers, so there was a big mis¬
take somewhere, and one could
hardly blame-it on  the Collegian
We would like to suggest to
the Mr. "Editor" Mitchell, that
we "second-rate cubs" aren't at
all happy with his remarks. We
might suggest that If the money
is diverted into the "Fundamen¬
tals of Reporting" there might be  1. 1962.

The winter I .turned sixteen.
Wolves dropped down from the Wichita hills
And slaughtered cattle for miles around.
I heard or a great three-toed Lobo
Who had left tracks in tbe snowy ground
Of Beaver Creek, near one of hli kills.
No one had ever seen him. His tracks .
Alone convinced the superstitious
That he was not a ghost. Farmers cursed
Their Ill-fortune and the grey wolf packs.
And set traps to no avail. When Spring
Arrived. I left home,.feeling nothing.
Whatever hold the red dirt hills bad

Was nothing to be felt. I had known
The family care too long; I could
Not stay. There were things to be seen
To be killed, eaten, and not shared.

Mary Alexander, cafeteria man¬

problem facing the staff Is the
refusal of a few students to clear
their dishes after they finish
eating. The negligence or these
few diners causes a slow-up In
