pending the students.
Rlddlesprlgger opposed the use
of Section 626.4 of the California
Penal Code which allows the
president of a coUege to withdraw consent without a hearing
for a student to remain on campus if he has cause to believe
tbey may disrupt the operation
or activities of the campus.
This resolution led Phil Sherwood, president pro tem of the
senate, to Introduce a resoluUon
at the Oct. 1 senate meeting
seeking to give financial aid to
those students planning to challenge the constitutlonallly of this
law.
Sherwood's resoluUon called
for the establlshmenl of a $5,000
legal aid fund that could be used
by all students. Discussion on the
resolution was ruled out of order
by First Vice President Nat
DIBuduo because it was listed on
the agenda as an "Informational
Item.* At the next senate meeting
on Oct. 8, the motion was tabled.
Prior to the tabUng motion, while
offering arguments in favor of
the resolution, SherWood Introduced Don Thuesen, a local attorney, who pointed out the potential
danger and possible unconstitutionally of Executive Order 100
( the college administration's
equivalent of Section 626.4).
Thuesen pointed out that the order

After Ustenlng lo Thuesen's

reasons why you should not sign

pay for the functions of student
government and activities which

to the student body; (2) m iieu
of the students paying for these
activities, the Trustees will take
over the budgeting of these activities, and ln this way take over
control of the activities.
If Mr. Jones is so thoroughly
convinced of the benefits of Student Association activities to the
students, then why is he reluctant to place a decision ln these
dents? Why Is he against giving
students the right to decide by
democratic procedure how they
want to spend their money? We
feel that the students of this college deserve the right to review
their decision. The student of
1970 is not the same student of
1951. Let's give him the oppor-
belng filled through activities
of the Association, fine!! But
clearly he should not be made
to join the Association If he feels
that the money ls being spent
on activities which do not coincide with his priorities In terms

have no control over student activities or publications. This, Mr.
Jones claims, will all revert to
the State as it will be the agent

We would ask Mr. Jones, what
control do we as students have
now over how student's money
is being spent. If the Trustees
don't Uke the editorial policy
of our newspaper can they not
cut off lis funds through the President's office (as they did last
year)? Is not the Board of
Trustees saying right now: *If
we don't agree with the voice
of the students, as it ls spoken
in the baUot box, we will overturn their decision with an Imposed tax?* We wonder what
power we as students have right

Smittcamp editorial
Mr. D.R. Safreno has struck
again. The only way to describe
his editorial about Earl Smittcamp ln last Tuesday's CoUegian ls as a complete farce. He
accuses Mr.Smlttcampof making
blanket statements to the effect
that 'ALL STUDENTS at Fresno
State are ALL wlldeyed radicals
desperately seeking buildings to
blow up and cripples to assault."
Mr. Safreno should look to his
own dislike of generalized statements. In no flyer hasMr.Smltt-*
camp made any such charge. In
fact, he clearly delineates between a radical minority which he
opposes and the peaceful majority which he Is wholeheartedly
for. I'm going to foUow Mr. Safreno's lead and not ask you
to vote for or against Mr. Smittcamp. However, I do ask you to
try to find out the facts. You will
have a good opportunity to do this
because Mr. Smittcamp will be
