COLLEGIAN CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO Baxter: we don't discriminate here MONDAY, DECEMBERS, 1975 by Joe tpsaro There is no discrimination ln the tilting of women or minorities on this campus, CSUF President Norman Baxter said at a Friday news conference. Baxter also said he was never involved ln the controversy surrounding the Library being closed over the Thanksgiving weekend and did not know that; it was closed. • hJ In another matter, Baxter said he did not know why the Economics Department cancelled eight classes at the beginning of this semester. Responding to a question concerning a law suit filed by the United Professors of California (UPC), Baxter said that women comprise 33 per cent of the full- time faculty members and 58 per cent of the support staff hired since the fall of .1975. ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION The UPC suit alleges that CSUF and other California State colleges and universities discriminate against women and minorities ln the hiring process. r> "I don't know how these figures Jibe with the rest of the system, | but this is what we have done,*'' Baxter said. // When asked what he thought aliout the Library being closed over the Thanksgiving weekend, Baxter said, *1 didn't get into that.' *By the way, was it closed, • he asked. He added that the Library is a "convenient necessity.* >^ When questioned on the declining FTE (full-time enrollment) ln the School of Social Science, Baxter said the trend is nationwide. ■The problem is that Interest ln the social sciences nationwide Is declining, while vocational subject Interest Is rising,* said Baxter. BAXTER COMMENTS Baxter's comments came ln response to complaints by the School of Social Sciences, and the Economics Department ln particular. He said that one reason the Economics Department FTE was down is that the department cancelled, eight classes, dls- en rolling 250 students. Department chairperson Robert Allison charged In September that two teachers who were to be hired for this semester were turned down by the administration because of their political views. However, Dr. Charles Swanson, vice-president for academic affairs, said the two were not hired because there wasn't enough money to pay them. DOESN'T KNOW VillV Baxter said, at the press con- , ference, that he did not know why the eight classes were cancelled. On other Issues Baxter: — rcveaied that he has received about two to three dozen letters concerning the sale of beer on campus. AU, he said, opposed the Idea. — reiterated his support for an on-campus stadium. According to James Miller of the public Information office, of 48 support staff employees hired from May to October of this year 28 are women and 20 ethnic minorities. Support staff positions Include everything but teaching faculty. , Of the full-time faculty members hired since the fall of 1975, said Miller, 33 per cent have been women. • ■ IN A WASTE disposal bin behind CSUF's Library, student Dave Davenport looks for some reading material. About 25 volumes of bound periodicals were dumped lastweek. Each year approximately 3,500 books are discarded by the CSUF Library. Dr. Henry Madden, librarian, said the discarding of books becomes necessary when copies become obsolete or are superseded by more recent editions. "The books we do discard have next to no value," Dr. Madden, said. When asked why books cannot be given away to students, Dr. Madden replied, "It was simpler to discard them rather than arrange to give them away. Even though we would (tamp them 'No longer the property of CSUF' these books eventually find their way back to the shelves in the library.' Dr. Madden said It was not because of the cramped conditions of the library that the books were being discarded. 'Even if we had an extension built on to the library, the weeding out process would still be necessary. Books that have lost their usefulness because of age or are worn out physically are of no value,* he said. Athletics get third of AS funds $102,000 from student government's total budget of over $315,000. by Jim Denman Nearly one third of the CSUF student government's budget has been committed to the University's Intercollegiate athletic program by a five- year contract since 1973. Next year the contract will be reviewed but - it cannot be changed until 1978. The contract allocates 28 per cent of the money collected from the mandatory student body fee, plus an accounting and management fee of nearly $17,000, to the CSUF Athletic Commission. Other student-funded activities must compete for the remainder of the student funds. The athletic commission provides university control of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Intercollegiate sports at CSUF. This year the commission will be paid more than WHAT STUDENTS GET For their money, students get a reduced admission price for home basketball and football games, and free admission to all other CSUF sports activities under the commission's Jurisdiction. These other sports Include baseball,cross country, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, water polo and wrestling. Slprlano Martinez, one of the former student body officers who negotiated the contract with administrators In 1973, recently said the contract ■froze the politics on athletics for the next five years." (Continued on Page 2, Col. 4) 'Voltaire-for one, more than just cr. play by Laura Ellison For the 199 other people it was just another opening light, but for Gloria Plumb It was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. In a capacity crowd of 200, Gloria Plumb sat watching her own play, -Voltaire," come alive on the stage In the CSUF Arena Theatre. "I was so numb," she said. "1 envisioned absolute dead silence from the audience because of the unfamiliar time of the play. The audience reacted better than I expected." •Voltaire," which was presented last month, was the first script ever accepted from a student for production at CSUF, and for Plumb, a mother of four and a graduate student, it was the first of her plays to be produced on a commercial basis. "I had one of my plays done at Stanford, but it was poorly done, and It wasrJft- commercialized,* Plumb said. The Idea for 'Voltaire* came to her when she was a student at Stanford University. It came, Ironically, from a painting by CSUF art professor Gayle Smalley which plumb saw displayed ln Davis. Both Smalley and her painting were present on opening night, an added surprise to Plumb. . VOLTAIRE AND REAGAN The painting snows an Intent and sincere Voltaire next '■ a confident, smiling Ronald Reagan. The con trast ln personalities and features of the men inspired her to write the play. •Voltaire stood for everything Reagan didn't,* Plumb said. "There is such a contrast between Reagan's terrible fake smile and those beautiful, honest and sincere eyes of Voltaire's,* Sitting with bands folded ln her lap, Gloria Plumb watched the play while a reporter watched her. She kept glancing around, outwardly calm and obviously looking for the reaction of the audience. At the close of the performance, the actors pulled Plumb from her seat and presented her with a bouquet ot carnations and daisies. She was then introduced to the audience. Tears shone In her eyes as the actors crowded around her, dropping kisses and stooping to hug her tiny frame. It was a wonderful performance,* said Plumb. 1 thought the actors did such a One Job. I was very happy with the direction, too.* HONEST AND WITTY Ken Brlgance, as 'Voltaire,* projected the honest and witty personality of the old F.ench philosopher. . David Hale, drama critic of the Fresno Bee, said pi Brlgance, 'Ken, with glmpy legs, darting eyes and banty-rooster manner, handles impressively the role' of Voltaire ...» - r^ Plumb said of Brlgance, "he is so talented, and be - is quite fascinated by Voltaire, himself. It's veiy X hard for an actor to make the age Jump, but Ken did a remarkable' Job." / Plumb was pleased with the other actors as well. The rest of the cast Included Robert Beliraa, Stephen Hansen, Joyce Babolan, Steve Geye, Steve Martin, Chrlsta Feasel and Dennis DuPertlus. "Several of the actors were exact extensions of the true characters, and some of them were a lltjje more," said Plumb. SHARED FASCINATION Sharing Brlgance's fascination with Voltaire, Plumb holds high admiration for the man, known a* "the conscience of Europe," during the 1700a. Voltaire was the greatest writer and philosopher that ever lived, plumb said. 'He hated hypocrisy and Injustice and fought them all bis long life with wit and vigor," Plumb said. ■Ha didn't 'have' to fight injustice, because he was quite a well-to-do man. He was often Invited to 'parlor talks' to meet with all of the leading men oi his time.* Voltaire waa also well known for his raging battle* with, the church,. in the Interest oi reform, Plumb said. But he did believe that organized religion was necessary to make men behave; he corresponded often with the Pope. Voltaire sheltered an exiled Jesuit, as wall aa exiles of other demoAlnations.wlth- (Cootlnued on Page 3, Col. I) - --•

"There is such a contrast between Reagan's terrible fake smile and those beautiful, honest and sincere eyes of Voltaire's,* Sitting with bands folded ln her lap, Gloria Plumb watched the play while a reporter watched her. She kept glancing around, outwardly calm and obviously looking for the reaction of the audience. At the close of the performance, the actors pulled Plumb from her seat and presented her with a bouquet ot carnations and daisies. She was then introduced to the audience. Tears shone In her eyes as the actors crowded around her, dropping kisses and stooping to hug her tiny frame. It was a wonderful performance,* said Plumb. 1 thought the actors did such a One Job. I was very happy with the direction, too.* HONEST AND WITTY Ken Brlgance, as 'Voltaire,* projected the honest and witty personality of the old F.ench philosopher. . David Hale, drama critic of the Fresno Bee, said pi Brlgance, 'Ken, with glmpy legs, darting eyes and banty-rooster manner, handles impressively the role' of Voltaire ...» - r^ Plumb said of Brlgance, "he is so talented, and be - is quite fascinated by Voltaire, himself. It's veiy X hard for an actor to make the age Jump, but Ken did a remarkable' Job." / Plumb was pleased with the other actors as well. The rest of the cast Included Robert Beliraa, Stephen Hansen, Joyce Babolan, Steve Geye, Steve Martin, Chrlsta Feasel and Dennis DuPertlus. "Several of the actors were exact extensions of the true characters, and some of them were a lltjje more," said Plumb. SHARED FASCINATION Sharing Brlgance's fascination with Voltaire, Plumb holds high admiration for the man, known a* "the conscience of Europe," during the 1700a. Voltaire was the greatest writer and philosopher that ever lived, plumb said. 'He hated hypocrisy and Injustice and fought them all bis long life with wit and vigor," Plumb said. ■Ha didn't 'have' to fight injustice, because he was quite a well-to-do man. He was often Invited to 'parlor talks' to meet with all of the leading men oi his time.* Voltaire waa also well known for his raging battle* with, the church,. in the Interest oi reform, Plumb said. But he did believe that organized religion was necessary to make men behave; he corresponded often with the Pope. Voltaire sheltered an exiled Jesuit, as wall aa exiles of other demoAlnations.wlth- (Cootlnued on Page 3, Col. I) - --• |
