Editor:
Having been a staunch non-
voter at FSC tor three years, I
think I may have some Insight in¬
to the mind of toe majority of
students. I think we do not vote
because we realistically see stu¬
dent government as a sham tor
those who like to participate to
organized seU-deluslon. It
doesn't have to be tols way.
I tolnk there are a few basic
reasons for the phantom quality of
FSC student government. An atti¬
tude of paternalism seems to per¬
vade some administration and
faculty circles. Those circles in¬
clude the fundamentalists of the
religion of education. They have
retained the ancient rituals, but
they have forgotten the substance.
Rules aimed at the dregs of stu¬
dent body, who would "take ad¬
vantage" of a genuinely stimu¬
lating environment, are passed
down by an unquestioned author¬
ity. Mother Administration must
breast-feed her students, who arc
too young to be weaned on re¬
sponslbUlty. It doesn't matter
that palernaUsm, no matter how
benevolent, Is fundamentally anti¬
democratic. It doesn't matter
that paternalism I

"It depends on the voters. Any

By ALAN AUSTIN
A random survey of Fresno
State CoUege student and faculty
opinions reveals that those inter¬
viewed felt fraternities are an
established tradition on the
American coUege and university
In defining the role of the so¬
cial fraternity, one student felt
that the "activities of the fra¬
ternities should be social because
that Is what they are Intended to
be, social organizations.*
A fraternity member at FSC
felt that the role of the fraternity
Is to provide a base 'for students
to engage ln social activities, and
at the same time function aa an
educational Institution."
An FSC faculty member felt
that fraternlUes should and do
"provide much of the campus
leadership and are responsible
for much ot the coUege social
life." He added, "The fraternl¬
Ues contribute much to the wel¬
fare of the community ta which
they are present, and fraternlUes
should provide leadership ta
scholarship, but they do not al-
Scbolastlcslly, most of the fra¬
ternlUes at FSC ranked below
average tor FSC coUege men dur¬
ing the fall semester. Average
GPA tor men here Is 2.45, and
the only fraternity toeamahlgh-
er GPA was Alpha Gamma Rho
with a 2.30.

An FSC non-Greek student felt
that "fraternlUes should be total¬
ly and completely Independent of
student government". His rea¬
soning was that "it is unfair tor
the Independents to have fraterni¬
ty men ta student government".
According to a faculty member,
'Student government should not
be centered around fraternlUes
necessarily, but lt has been, pri¬
marily because of default on the
part on non-Greek students."
Another non-Greek student felt
that "fraternlUes are pressure
groups Just as any other group
or club, but student government
should not be centered around the
fraternlUes."
A recent Wall Street Journal
article gave fraternlUes no more
than 10 years to remain on the
American coUege and university
campus.
Students and faculty at FSC dis¬
agree with the article. The con¬
sensus Is that fraternlUes have a
definite place on the coUege cam¬
pus and that position is unlikely
to change.
One student felt however, that
fraternlUes are losing ta relative
strength to the student body as a
whole. "But," he added, "there
wlU always be fraternlUes."
"Students," he added, " are be¬
coming more and more Interested

According to a faculty member,
"Membership ta the fraternlUes
has remained stable despite in¬
creases ln enrollment.' He
added, "FraternlUes are here tor
a long Ume to come, but to main¬
tain their strength, fraternlUes
must emphasize more than social
aspects."
FraternlUes seem to have
earned a place ta coUege society
and that place, according to popu¬
lar opinion, appears to be in¬
sured. According to many, the
overall strength of the fraterni¬
ties is, ta many cases, dropping

students is rising.
