Welcome Extended to Students
As Collegian Starts Semester
Welcome, fellow students!
Again another school year begins and old acquaintances are renewed and new ones formed.
The busy community known as the college begins to function with renewed activity after a
brief layoff.
It is with pleasure that The Collegian staff
again faces the task of supplying students with
news, pictures, and opinions concerning life
here at Fresno State. To those who are acquainted with both the college and the paper
and to the others who are entering for the first
time. The Collegian extends an invitation to furnish news, opinions and in other ways associate

It is only through these contacts with stu-'
dents and with the news which they create that
this publication can exist. The primary purpose
of the paper—to serve all the students with the
fullest coverage of news—can be accomplished
only through the cooperation of the students,
faculty, and administration. This The Collegian
The extra-curricular activities of the student body, while secondary in nature to the academic endeavor which forms the basis of college activity, furnish,a common standing on
which all can participate equally. The Collegian
invites any and all criticism which may arise
during the college year. It is only through a
continued improvement that the staff hopes to
maintain the aim of The Collegian.
Advancement Towards Building
Goal Marked by Expenditure
The announcement today that more than
$40,000 is to be spent for building improvements throughout the college and the stadium
is gratifying to The Collegian in that it marks
another step forward in the direction of an increased building program so much in need at
Fresno State for the past decade.
The greatest improvement is to be made at
the stadium on Blackstone avenue with a renovation scheduled for the student union on the
campus grounds. For years the lack of adequate seating capacity at the stadium has been
a source of trouble for athletic officials. The
present seating arrangement has proved to be
unsatisfactory during both the football season
and during the West Coast Relays. In the latter,
one of the greatest track and field events on the
Pacific Coast, the seating arrangement has hindered a major portion of the crowds from seeing
the complete event during the meet. The raised
angle at which the hew, modem seats are being
installed will obviate this difficulty. Also, the
replacement of the seats on the east side of the
stadium by new and improved seats will aid the
seating of students both in capacity and comfort during the coming season.
It has been announced that approximately
$4,000 will be spent upon the completion of the
renovation of the student union. Wnile this
marks a step forward in obtaining adequate
space for a student body of approximately
2,000, it must still be remembered that even
t with the new arrangement the union will seat
only 125 persons and provide standing space
1 for hardly more than double that number. The
college administration has been more than active during the past few years in an attempt to
obtain sufficient funds from the state administration to build an administration baUding to
hour* student offices and an adequate college
student union. The efforts to date have met
with little more than verbal encouragement. Dr.
Frank W. Thomas has received word from federal officials that with the co-operation of the
state the federal government might be willing

It is nice to make a little progress now although it is hoped that the state may come to
see the fact that the Fresno State College is no
longer a minor college in the state educational
system and that it cannot continue to supply
the needs of more than 2,000 students with
equipment for less than one-quarter that
number.
