Twenty-eight Board of Directors I-IE body upon whom is placed the responsibility for determining the policies and managing the financial affairs of the Fresno State College Association is the Board of Directors. The Board is made up of four faculty members and five student members. The faculty members are appointed by the president of the college, and the student members are such by virtue of their office. At present the faculty members are: Mr. Ratcliffe, Chairman, Dr. Thomas, Dr. Briggs, and Mr. Wight. The president, vice-president, secretary, commissioner of finance, and commissioner of public relations of the Association are the student members. Other officers of the Associa- tion are invited to serve as ex-officio members and advise with the voting members on all problems that come before it, in order to make the Board broadly representa- tive. The set-up of the Association for managing the business side of the extra- curricular activities of the college, has been very highly commended by OIITICCFS of the State Department of Education at Sacramento. It grew out of the experiences of the college authorities in handling the vexing problems that came from the con- fusion of overlapping of authority of boards, and committees of students and faculty. After many changes the present set-up was suggested by Mr. Ratcliffe by which the faculty and students worked together in solving the problems of the Association. The principal activities of the Board are all activities involving the collection and expenditure of funds. Starting with a deficit, the business of the Association has grown until the last balance sheet showed assets amounting to more than 386,000.00 The good-will enjoyed by the Association was shown by the way in which Fresno business men subscribed for Stadium Certificates and later for certificates for building the lighting equipment at the Stadium. The lighting certificates were greatly over- subscribed. The success of the Association can be attributed very largely to the business ability of the managers. Miss Sara McCord, now in New York, was manager until she resigned last spring to take work at Columbia University. Arthur Safstrom succeeded her and is now finishing his first year as General Manager.

Sykes, Stua'z'l1l Body Prrxident I Student Administration TARTING off with the traditional Frosh Reception which was attended by some five hundred new students, the year which was characterized by fine spirit and a willingness to cooperate was well under way by the time of our first football game. Our team this year met with a fair degree of accomplishments, winning three, losing five, and tying two of the games played. This year marked a new epoch in the history of football on our campus. The institution was repre- sented at Topeka, Kansas in the first Inter-Sectional game ever played by Fresno State College. Basketball under our new coach, Leo A. Harris, won five of their ten games played. Next year with the return of many veterans, a large advance should be shown over the last season. Our track team had another banner year. Under the able guidance of Coach Flint I-lanner, the Bulldog track team defeated all in duel meet competition and a fitting climax was apparent by the fine showing made in the West Coast Relays. The West Coast Relays this year proved to be one of the best relay carnivals on the Pacific Coast. The attendance of approximately six hundred athletes in the four classes: High School, junior College, College, and University. The event attracted some eleven thousand spectators to the Fresno State College stadium on the night of lvlay 13, l933. The student groups represented Fresno State College at many conferences this year.

Gur debate team was successful in the completion of their three-thousand mile auto tour to the Pacific Northwest. After returning home from this extensive tour, they represented our college at the Pacific Coast Gratorical Contest at Stockton, winning both oratory and debate. john Said won the trophy in speaking while Spurgeon Avakian and Henry Wiens were given first honors in the debate. A task which has been begun, but not completed as yet, is the revision of our Association Constitution. Our institution has grown to the position where a more
