and Bob Long, are ready to serve "at a moment's notice," according to an emissary from the Journalism Department. Price said
he would contact these two and the other three community members

English I may be made
General Ed requirement
by Richard Hanson
The Academic Senate has approved and sent to CSUF President Norman A. Baxter a bill to
establish English 1 as a General
Education requirement; Dr.
Charles E.Swanson, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, said.
If signed by Baxter, the course
will be required lor a baccalaureate degree, Dr. Robert S.
Billings, chairman of the English
Department, said. It will take effect ln the Fall, 1976 semester.
There are three alternatives
to the requirement, Billings said.
-The     Advanced    Placement
-Credit by Examination.
-The English Equivalency Examination.
Swanson said "there is still a
lot or work to do." He said before
Baxter signs the bill he win ask
for   recommendations   and will
transfers are affected. The main
effect of the change will be on
incoming freshmen."
A proponent of the legislation,
Dr. Donald E. Kausch, professor
Swanson said English I wur,

Baxter must know what additional resources are needed to
make the shift, Swanson said.
FRfcSHMEN AFFECTED

Davls said GASP Is pushing for
an anti-smoking ordinance ln
Fresno. The ordinance would
regulate smoking ln public places
hospitals.
Such as ordinance already exists for the unincorporated county
area, he said, but on Oct. 16, the
Fresno City Council voted 5 to 1
against an anti-smoking ordinance for the city, saying It would
create hardships for private businesses (restaurants) and those
who promote public events.

There was a small turnout at
the meeting, which was held ln
the International Room of the cafeteria. Election of officers for
a proposed Health Science Club
was postponed.
Those attending the meeting,
however, saw a film produced by
the Mid-Valley Lung Association
and showed by Lang. The film,
"Everything You Always Wanted
to Know About How toStopSmok-
ers But Were Afraid to Ask* had
a series of non-smokers explain
how they deal with smokers polluting the air around them.
English 1 proposal c
'A great many students are not
taking English In their senior
year of high school." Thus, he
said freshmen are not aware of
the basic principles of grammar.
•Scholastic Aptitude Tests reveal entering freshmen are less
and less literate ln the basic English skills," Kausch said.
He said the university feels
they should take a stand on the
subject. English 1 Is the first
step, he said, and if approved,
must be taken during the first
four semesters of a students'enrollment.
The stand came out of the
Vice-Presidential Task Force on
Instruction ln Writing and Evaluation of Writing Competence,
Kausch said. The task force was
chaired by Dr..Russell E. Leavenworth, professor of English.
Kausch said high schools
should, reconsider their English
curriculum. He said "theEngUsh
1 requirement should have a
"ripple effect." Kausch also said
"professors should turn papers
back that are not acceptable to
college standards."
