One cannot sit idly by and watch fellow students be stripped of

used by decreed racists long enough on this campus. Such things

Racism rears its ugly head
Racism has once more reared its ugly head at Fresno State College. This time it may be fatal. The Board on Publications, acting on
the advice of the Editorial Advisory Board, has done away with the
special editions of Ihe Dally Collegian beginning with the Spring
semester.   It   rapidly  becomes  obvious   that   those conscienceless
and Chicano students the only real voice they have on this campus.
What may, perhaps, be even worse Is that they have therefore denied
white students the privilege of reading the special editions and the
education Ihey received from them.
After looking for every
reason for this move by
Body President Bill Jone:

KFSR expansion needs consideration
The Student Senate should give serious thought to proposals by
nembers of the KFSR campus radio staff to expand the student-run
station's role at Fresno State College.
Board on Publications
Yesterday the Board on Pub- '
HcaUons voted 5-4 in favor of
doing away with the Special Editions. To me this Is another
racist act perpetrated on Black
and Brown students.
They have destroyed any bid

have acted In bad faith and acted
with  insensltlvity to our needs.

Presently, KFSR broadcasts only into
lively  small  audience.   Yet, It provides Important services which
should be extended to the entire student body, such services as up-
to-the-minute campus news coverage and musical entertainment.
In terms of news coverage, interviews with campus leaders and
campus-wide forums, an expanded role for KFSR would be highly
desirable. There Is. because of the technology Involved, a communications gap which neither.the Collegian nor Insight can really fill.
KFSR with an expanded news staff and a greater audience could keep
students more Informed about campus events and news In the surrounding college community. It could also prove Invaluable during

Body First Vice-President Nat
DIBuduo against the boards' action. The matter wlU now be reviewed by the Student Senate.
Before the vote was taken a
spokesman for the Black Student
Union and a spokesman for the
Chicano students stated that "if

Doug Broten, former student
