EC Bulletin was published
The Administration ls lying when It says the Experimental College
program was cancelled because Richard Toscan and the Experimental College Collittee refused to publish a bulletin containing detailed descriptions of courses offered for Spring 1970.
The fact is a bulletin was published. What the administration objected to was the manner ln which It was published.
On January 22 a memo was sent to Toscan from the Academic
Vice President, Norman A. Baxter. In the memo Toscan was told
.that the Spring 1970 Experimental College Bulletin did not comply
with Baxter's "directive of January 7, 1970, to publish only the
courses approved by Acting President Falk."
He gave Toscan and the Experimental College Committee until
4 p.m. Friday, January 23 to submit a copy of the Bulletin conforming to his directive or. he said, Toscan would be endangering all
Experimental College courses for the Spring semester.
What the Experimental College had done was to republish the
bulletin with the original 34 courses still in It and listed In detail.
But the 18 courses Falk had blue-penciled were lined out and annotated "cancelled by the Acting President*.
In the preface to the bulletin it was explained that "significant
deletions have been made from the original spring program recommended by the Experimental College Committee as a result of
temporary policies established by Acting Presldeni Karl Falk. The
Committee has been prohibited from (1) offering student-taught
courses, (2) supporting major progr>ms in which a professor

This sort of thing Is like killing flies with a sledge hammer. It
appears Falk was deliberately provoking the Experimental College
Into a confrontation ln order to destroy the entire program. His
refusal to meet with those concerned, his arbitrary and stifling
directives, and his obsession for hiding facts from the students and
public is an outrage,    i
To cancel an entire program because the Experimental College
Committee Insisted on lis rights, ls not only absurd and extreme
but undemocratic. As with Burtner and Harold Walker. Falk has
exercised tactics that are detrimental to academic freedom and
campus harmony. Clearly, Falk Intends to eliminate every pocket
of liberal sentiment on campus, and destroy ever}' progressive
feature of higher education at Fresno State College.

io monthly service charge. You still get a statement
every month, so you can keep track of your money. You can even
keep your account open during the summer with nothing in it and
we won t charge you a cent. The plan's just for college students.
And the only place you can sign up for it is at the Shaw-Angus
Branch of Wells Fargo Bank. We don't have a clever name for the
service. So just come in and ask for the check plan you read about
in the paper.
