, UllE California State Polytechnic College Volume 19, Number 7 San Luis Obispo PRESIDENT KENNEDY WELCOMES FACULTY. STAFF; URGES STUDENT PARTICIPATION In a welcoming message to new and returning faculty and staff members, Dr. Robert E. Kennedy, Cal Poly president, described the college as unequaled in its dedicated in­ terest in young people. "You can•t find a better faculty and staff in terms of cooperativeness, willingness to work, genuine respect for one another, and friendly interest in colleagues and students," Dr. Kennedy told Cal Poly personnel attending the general conference meeting held Monday morning in the Little Theater. His address, entitled "Three R's: Revolution, Reaction and Relevancy," contrasted the Cal Poly student-faculty-staff interaction with disruption prevalent on campuses throughout the United States and in foreign countries. He described a 300,000-student demonstration he and Mrs. Kennedy observed in Mexico City August 27. Tracing the history of student revolution from the Middle Ages to the present, Dr. Kennedy discussed three styles of reaction to student discontent. "It can be ignored, it can be suppressed, or it can be reconciled." He suggested that a college must acknowledge as a fact of life that some rules of conduct are necessary for all mem­ bers of the academic community, including students, faculty and administrators, and the application of these rules should be determined in the light of the objectives of the particular college, by appropriate consultation. Giving examples of educational developments which are parallel to Cal Poly tradi­ tions, President Kennedy urged the faculty to continue to insure relevant instruc­ tion which meets student needs, balancing current job requirements with the general education of the whole person. Genuine interest in students creates an environment in which problems are capable of solution, he indicated, warning against "trans­ parent tactical devices" which will fail. "Student involvement in the decision-making processes will be effective only i f we are sincerely interested in the effective assistance students can give in .working on . problems where they have some special interest and vital input," he said. "My personal evaluation from watching a number of student representatives who served last year on councils and committees of which I am a member is that in every instance their contribution was significant. They participated in discussions with faculty members, department heads, deans and vice presidents without reticence but with dig­ nity, dedication, skill, and integrity. I believe that the students who served in these capacities last year will vouch for the fact that they had freedom to express their opinions and those opinions were considered equally with those expressed by other members of each body. I honestly believe that their advice in many instances helped the administration to make decisions which maintained student morale at a high peak last year, with a minimum of conflict and just enough tension to keep us working together to build a stronger institution." -2- r FALL QUARTER AND AINUAL PARKING PERMITS ON SALE The new annual parking permits as well as Fall Quarter permits are on sale at the cashiers' window on the first floor of the Administration Building. Enforcement of Fall Quarter parking regulations w~ll be eftective Monday, September 23. ­ • I \ I POSITIONS AVAILABLE - THAILAND AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION J. Cordner · Gibson, dean .of agriculture, and Howard West, acting director of inter­ national education, have announced that they are in the process of recruiting poten­ tial :candidates for replacement personnel for the Cal Poly AID sponsored project in agricultural education in Thailand. The . c~llege presently has a five-man team in Thailand headed by Warren Smith, former dean of agriculture, as the chief-of-party. Mr. Smith will continue in his capacity as chief-of-party, but the other four team members will be ending their two-year tours of duty and returning to the United States in June of 1969 and, thus, replacements for them are being sought. In the 'four-man replacement team, individuals will be required in the overall areas of crops, animal husbandry, farm management, and agricultural mechanics. While in­ dividuals will need to have a background in these areas, they should also have a solid foundation in the overall area of agricultural education. Individuals interested in being considered for these positions should make a formal applic-ation by letter through the dean of agriculture. Gibson and West also indica­ ted that Mr. Smith will be making a consultation trip to the campus in October, at which time he will be meeting with individuals who have expressed an interest in the positions. In addition, in November the director general of vocational education in Thailand, the director of the World Bank toan rroject under which the Thailand proj• . ect is operated, along with a member of the AID staff in Thailand, will be visiting · the campus to meet further with those who are interested and who are being considered for the positions and to provide additional orientation on the project. PARKING LOT CONSTRUCTION DELAYED Work was begun September 10 on the new 760-space parking lot to be constructed in the general area of the old Vetville. Initial planning . fo~ construction of the parking lot called for a start June 17. Delays attributable to the architects and to State of California and California State Colleges regulations and procedures have added up to a total of some three months delay. Madonna Construction Company, which submitted a bid of $174,637, has been awarded the contract. The' parking ·lot was funded from parking revenue bonds. In November of 1967 Cal- Poly officials made out a timetable which called for the work to start June 17, 1968. This plan had to be postponed due to the delay in the architects' offices. When the bids were finally opened July 11, plans called for construction to start July 29. But this also was delayed by the length o~ t~e required to receive state college and state approvals. The best estimate now is that the new parking lot will not be ·available before the beginning of the Winter Quarter in January. ,. • 3 - CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT SEEKS ACCREDITATION i Application for accredi~atic~ of the Chemistry . Department at Cal Poly . by the American Chemical Society has b_e.en initiated.

In the past it has been necessary for the Audio-Visual Department to move equip­ ment or materials only at the class break. L~itations of equipment and stud~nt assistants have now made it necessary to adopt a new method which will speed set­ up service. Instructors are requested to move equipment and materials to the hall outside their classroom immediately after use. Placing this equipment outside the classroom will make it possible for our student assistants to pick up, move, and set-up (where possible) the equipment during the hour. Without the wait for the 10 minute class break, more equipment can be moved each hour. Your cooperation will help us serve you better, say the Audio-Visual st~ff.
