_ better Indication of student
opinion on toe bylaws.'Criticsof
the 'all or nothing* voting scheme
had previously announced their
intentions to vote against the entire bylaw revision proposal be-
,cause of disagreement with certain of its provisions.
Class Senator Woody Brooks,
chairman of the Senate Legal
Committee, balloting on separate articles could lead to some
provisions being defeated and
others being approved. Thus", he
said, there is a possibility of numerous 'contradictions* within
the bylaw document.
A single vote on the entire revision package, said Brooks,
would be preferable to voting on
the articles Individually.
Among toe major changes proposed to toe student association
bylaws are toe following:
-The   Preamble   bas  been
viously ' a faculty member appointed by the president, would
now be elected by the board Itself.
Revisions In toe article also
call for control of association
fees to be exercised In accordance wlto the general policies of
toe senate. If the board cannot
decide an Issue submitted to lt
by the senate, the new bylaws
would provide for the measure to
be referred beck to tbe senate
for further consideration.
-Article IV of toe revised bylaws would change the names of
the student body first and second
vice president to thoee of legislative and administrative vice
president.

provides for the election of a

hlghUght Fresno State College's
observance of the second annual
AprU 22 Earth Day.
Earth Day, a nation-wide
event, was first held last year.
It was IniUated In the hopes ot
drawing pubUc attention to the
conditions of the environment.
Last year's Earth Day was
termed a success as nearly every
college and community nationwide held Earth Day related activities. FSC observed the day by
having an ecology teach-in ln the
Free Speech Area on the '
kinds of pollution. The highlight
of the day came when a contingent
of FSC art students laid down to
toe Free Speech Area and poured
garbage over themselves.
This year's FSC Earth Day
activities wlU not be as dramatic
as the activities of toe previous
year but organizers hope tbey win
stimulate student interest.
Earth Day activities wiU begin
on Aprtl 21 with an Ecology Symposium to be held to the Amphitheatre from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The symposium wlU consist of
environmentally-oriented Informational speeches and fllros and
a question and answer period.
, The speakers' Ust Is tentative but
several FSC professors have Indicated   they   will  participate.
They are professors Peter Moyle, -
Richard Haas and Edwin Daubs
of the Department of Biology; D.
Loy Bllderback from the history
department; Roger Briggs from
tbe Department of Health Science
and David Frank, professor of
chemistry.

Nader hits auto industry
Ralph Nader, world famous
consumer 'watchdog* has
warmed things up for his Fresno
State appearance next Monday by
charging yesterday that the *Blg
3* ln the automobile Industry are
guilty of antitrust violations.
In a Washington, D.C. report
yesterday, Nader said that style
changes ln autos made each year
by the targe corporations provide
consumers wltb •the lUuston of
progress, yet avoid making Improvements that might extend the
life of the automobile.*
Nader said that of $1.5 billion
spent annually by auto roanufac-
torere to alter styles, only three
per cent Is used to finance improvement research and utlUaa-
day with the Federal Trade Commission. The study, made by taw
students, bears out Nader's
claims.
A rebuttal was made immediately by a General Motors
spokesman saying that the model
changes were made *to meet
customer demand for Improved
product value and designs."
No word has been received concerning a Federal Trade Commission ruUng on Ralph Nader's
appeal, but his success ln the
' past with having millions of defective autos recalled should pro-
. ride lively debate.
This latest attack on tag business coupled with past assaults
should make next Monday's visit
by Ralph Nader an overwhelming
success. Tbe noted consumer
critic wiU speak at l_P.ro. to the
Amphitheater.
i charge of the activities for
Earth Day, April 22nd. The group,
headed by FSC students Sandy
Turner and John Peterson, Is
sponsoring an aU-day garbage
round-up on the 22nd. The location ofthe one-day garbage center
wlU be the Free Speech Area-
Turner states that any students
having aluminum cans, newspapers and glass Jars should
bring them to the Free Speech
Area and deposit them ta the containers which win be provided
by  tbe  Ecology Action group.
According to Turner, J>e garbage collected wlU be sold to recycling centers tn Fresno and the
money derived from toe sales
wlU go for the establishment of
a permanent recycling center on
the FSC campus.
Peterson states that toe group
is also asking that everyone ride
a bicycle to school on Earth Day.
«I feel that riding a bicycle
to school to a sraaU sacrifice for
a Student to make and lt is an
easy way for a student to become Involved ta Earth Day,"
Peterson said.
