One suspect was outstanding
Tuesday night after a car chase
ended on the front lawn of a home
near Fresno State, Fresno police
reported.
The chase broke out near
THE
Barstow and Chestnut avenues
when a Valley Crime Stoppers tip
notified police of the suspects’
whereabouts. The caller saw the
two suspects, April Alaniz and
Lupe Nieto, in a 2005 Suzuki
Forenza, Fresno Police Lt. Mike
Doyle said.
The suspects wrecked the car
in the front yard of a home on
the corner of East Santa Ana and
North Bonadelle avenues. Alaniz
and Nieto then fled the scene,
jumped fences and broke into a
home, Doyle said. Neither suspect
was armed, and the occupants of
the home were startled, but not
hurt, he said.
Officers found Alaniz, but were
still searching for Nieto with the
assistance of a helicopter at 8:15
p.m.

Fresno State graduate Oscar Ramos owns and operates his winery, Ramos Torres Winery, in Kingsburg, which produces 2,500 cases of wine each year.
Grapes of ‘Gold’
Fresno State graduate’s unexpected career path leads to award-winning wine
By Brianna Vaccari
The Collegian
O
scar Ramos and his
staff at Ramos Torres
Winery in Kingsburg
have one goal -- to ensure their
product is “double-gold good.”
The Ramos Torres Winery
is a 2014 award-winner in the
San Francisco Chronicle’s wine
competition. The winery’s 2011
“Branches,” a cabernet blend,
won “Double Gold” in the competition.
The winery’s owner, Ramos,
34, is a 2003 Fresno State
graduate with a degree in enology. He began making his own
wine in 2005 and, the winery
opened in 2008. In 2011, the
winery had its first full vintage
batch.
Though he considers winemaking to be both an art and
a science, when Ramos first
entered Fresno State in 1998,
he didn’t know the first thing
about winemaking.
He entered Fresno State as a
business major, but after three
semesters he wandered into the
enology department.
“I didn’t have any knowledge
about wine, and I didn’t have a
level of appreciation other than
I knew that I liked it,” Ramos
said.
It only took a five-minute
conversation with Dr. Carlos
Muller, now a professor emeritus in enology, to convince
Ramos to begin the program.
“He didn’t give me a lot of
explanation other than saying,
‘You’re here for a reason.’”
Ramos said the fact that
Fresno State’s winery was making headlines, and was the only
university winery in the country at the time, drew him in.
He quickly learned to love
the department.
“I enjoyed the program,
maybe not the chemistry and
long hours, but the camaraderie and relationships. I liked
the social atmosphere the wine
industry provides.
“I liked being able to enjoy
the product, understanding the
dynamics and what it means to
appreciate wine.”
After he graduated, Ramos
began working at Cedar
View Winery in Sanger with
Fresno State alum Oscar Ramos
owner Jim Haun.
Haun called Ramos a “conscientious winemaker.”

Spring recruitment different for each house
New app aims to increase accessibility
By Brianna Vaccari
The Collegian
Recruitment week for Fresno
State fraternities begins next
week, and this semester students
planning to join an organization
can use a mobile app to access
information about fraternities
and related recruitment events.
The information is available on
the app Guidebook under Fresno
State fraternity recruitment.
Those interested in participating
in recruitment can browse each
fraternity, events, social media
sites and contact information.
“We wanted the information
to be at their fingertips,” said
Eddie Dominguez, Greek adviser
in Fresno State’s student involvement and student activities office.
All fraternities that are part of
the Interfraternity Council will
be recruiting Monday through
Friday and will begin giving out
bids Thursday, Dominguez said.

President Barack Obama
announced he will “not stand
still” in combating America’s
growing income inequality gap during his State of the
Union Address Tuesday night.
“Today, after four years
of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices
have rarely been higher, and
those at the top have never
done better. But average
wages have barely budged.
Inequality has deepened.
Upward mobility has stalled,”
Obama said before a joint session of congress.
If Congress does not act
to fight the problem, Obama
said he will use the executive
actions within his power to
move the issue forward.
He also detailed other
issues on the White House’s
policy agenda for the coming
year, reiterating his commitment to the economy, early
education, health care, gun
control, foreign policy and
equal pay for women.
He also said that the White
House is working toward
making college education
more affordable for students.
“We’re shaking up our
value, so that no middleclass kid is priced out of a
college education,” Obama
said. “We’re offering millions the opportunity to cap
their monthly student loan
payments to ten percent of
their income, and I want to

90 members in the fall, they don’t recruit
in the spring, Dominguez said. Some members may graduate in December, leaving
open spots for the spring.
“We try to maintain the size so the sororities grow together,” Dominguez said.
So far, Delta Gamma recruited eight
girls, Delta Zeta recruited six and Phi Mu
has four girls and is still recruiting. Kappa
Kappa Gamma will begin recruiting next
week.
Kappa Alpha Theta met the Panhellenic
quota during fall recruitment and won’t be
participating in recruitment this semester,
said Sam Ziolkowski, the recruitment chair
for the sorority.
“I was a little bummed about not being
able to hold a spring recruitment, but
looking at it now, all this means is that we
have an amazingly strong sisterhood as of
this point,” Ziolkowski said. “Not having a
spring recruitment gives me more time to
focus on fall recruitment, so I’m very excited for that to roll around.”
Sigma Alpha, which is an associate of
the Panhellenic groups, did not recruit this
semester, Dominguez said.
For fraternities, spring recruitment can
be just as important as fall, Dominguez
said.
This spring, each organization is looking
for an average number of 20 new members.
“I think its good because every house
has an equal chance when it comes to guys
and the prospects get to check out every
house and maybe fall in love with one they
wouldn’t even have considered before,”
said Trevor Patrick, IFC president.
“W

The Fresno State Barking
Bulldogs debate team has risen
to No. 11 in the national ranking and retained its district
position at No. 1— encouraging
news for a group whose eyes
are set on March’s National
Debate Tournament.
In recent wins at the Cal
Berkeley-Chico Invitational
on Jan. 18-19, the
Barking Bulldogs
were led by
Candis Tate and
Sierra Holley.
The duo earned
two first-place
finishes. Erica
Barton and Carla
Caffrey-Casiano
also earned wins,
their team defeating Pepperdine,
Weber State and
Sacramento State.
The Bulldogs
are on the rise
after debate director Deven Cooper
restructured
Fresno State’s program. Taking over
last fall, Cooper
introduced a “very
structured and very
organized” way
of doing things –
which led to some

“The Politicization of Charlie Chaplin: The Events That
Led Him to Make The Great Dictator”
Charlie Chaplin’s classic 1940 film was the first Hollywood movie
to openly portray Jewish ghettos and Nazi persecution of Jews. In
the film, Chaplin plays a poor Jewish barber and also the fascist
dictator Adenoid Hynkel. The Great Dictator was Chaplin’s
first sound film and his biggest hit. Made before the United States
entered World War II, the movie is a satire that manages to
make us laugh and also poignantly depicts the plight of Jews in
Europe and passionately pleas for peace and tolerance.
Co-sponsored by the Jewish Studies Certificate Program, the
Jewish Studies Association and CineCulture.
team and others evidently work
harder.
“In order to be successful,
you’ve got to put in a lot of
work, and a lot of people were
not willing to do that,” Cooper
said.
However, with the likes
of Tate and Holley, success
became a reality.
“Sierra and Candis have
almost single-handedly helped
us retain our position as No. 1
in Pacific District 1 and helped
us gain No. 11 in the nationals
ranking,” Cooper said.
With four tournaments
scheduled this semester, the
team’s ultimate goal is to see
Tate and Holley reach the NDT
along with the second team
of Nadia Lewis and Jamila
Ahmed. Lewis and Ahmed
made college debate history
at the Henry Clay Invitational
Tournament last fall, becoming
the first two African-American
non-traditional speakers to
ever win first and second,
respectively.
However, both teams have
experienced frustration over
recent judging standards
regarding non-traditional
speakers – a style more dependent on personal experiences
and creative poetry – following
successful wins.
In recent tournaments,
there has been backlash within
the debate community over
traditional judges being biased
toward traditional speakers, a
disadvantage for other styles.
“Sometimes there are judges
who do not want to hear what
they’re [non-traditional speakers] talking about,” Cooper
said.
Tate, Holley, Lewis and
Ahmed all follow this style and
fear there are additional challenges when competing before
certain judges.
“It’s always a concern, but
it’s something that we kind of
have to get over,” Tate said.
“Some people are just going to
have to judge you, so you have
to learn to adapt.”
Yet, as Tate explained,
adaptability and strategy are all
part of the prepping process. In
order to reach the NDT, Tate
believes the right preparation
is key.
“It’s about prepping the
most and getting your mind
right for that tournament so
you can just go in and knock
everyone out,” Tate said.
The team formally practices
up to 9 hours a week together,
but prepping is “a continuous
thing,” Tate said.
“You’re always thinking about it, always trying to
improve your arguments,” she
said.

Obama asked congress
to revisit immigration
reform, making a bipartisan call to reform the
nation’s immigration system this year.
“Independent economists say immigration
reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits
by almost $1 trillion in the
next two decades,” Obama
said. “When people come
here to fulfill their dreamsto study, invent, and contribute to our culture- they
make our country a more
attractive place for business to locate and create
jobs for everyone.”
However, the political
climate surrounding the
president’s agenda is “poisonous,” according to Dr.
Thomas Holyoke, a Fresno
State political science professor.
“There’s just a lot of
bad blood there to the
extent that a lot of this has
become personal,” Holyoke
said. “In fact, I don’t ever
remember seeing such a
poor relationship between
a president and the opposition party in Congress as
this one.”
Because of that, this
State of the Union Address
may have little effect on
legislation, Holyoke said.

SCREEN CHATTER
Hollywood Revisits The Past
Movie Remakes and TV Reboots are in the works for 2014 entertainment
By Matthew Jimenez
The Collegian
At one time, Hollywood had an
imagination.
Hollywood once produced
original television shows and
films that have stood the test of
time, but somewhere along the
line, Tinsel Town lost its way.
Now all we get are remakes,
sequels and reboots of recycled
ideas.
This year is no different.
Hollywood has decided to bring
back several surprising choices.
Movie Sequels &
Remakes
“X-Men: Days of
Future Past”
This is one of the most highly
anticipated films of 2014, and
with Bryan Singer back at the
helm, expectations for “X-Men:
Days of Future Past” are at an alltime high.
With such an eclectic ensemble of characters from the first
three “X-Men” films and “X-Men:
First Class,” one can’t help but
worry about the film and wonder
if Singer had trouble keeping up
with the characters and time travelling aspects of the film.
“X-Men” comes back on the big
screen May 23.
“Godzilla”
“Robocop”
In its day, “Robocop” was a
spectacle of brilliance. The special
effects were like no other and the
story was nearly flawless, as police
officer Murphy (Robocop) dealt
with becoming part machine, coping with memory loss and stopping a rogue robotics company, all
while seeking revenge on the man
who tried to kill him.
In this new adaptation, Robocop stars Joel Kinnaman and
features a new colored suit and a
sleeker, more slender appearance.
Robocop hits movie theaters on
Feb.12.
“The Amazing
Spider-Man 2”
Andrew Garfield will suit up
again to reprise his role as SpiderMan to battle Jamie Foxx as
electrified villain Electro.
Based on the trailers, SpiderMan will also come head-to-head
with the Green Goblin, Rhino and
quite possibly the Sinister Six.
Here’s to crossing our fingers
that the villain overload doesn’t
damage Andrew Garfield’s or
director Marc Webb’s reputations,
as it did Tobey McGuire and director Sam Raimi in Spider-Man
3. What were they thinking?
Will Spider-Man survive the
greatest battle of his life?
Check it out May 2, when “The
Amazing Spider-Man 2” hits
theaters.
“300: Rise of an Empire”
In 2006, Zack Synder introduced us to the world of “300,”
a man’s movie for the ages. Will
“300: Rise of an Empire,” deliver
the same stunning visuals and
over the top action, or will this be
another bomb like “Watchmen”
and “Man of Steel”?
Find out on March 7.
In the latest installment,
Godzilla seems to have taken a
dark turn as special agents jump
on to the streets of New York in
an attempt to stop the beast. The
trailer gave very few clues into the
film’s plot, but we can sure expect
to see lots of destruction and action packed scenes.
Godzilla will rampage its way
through a city near you in May.
TV Reboots
If the name sounds familiar,
you must have grown up sometime in the 1990s.
“Boy Meets World” first appeared on television in 1993 on
ABC and Disney Channel.
The show followed the life
of Corey Matthews and his best
friend, Shawn Hunter. When
“Boy Meets World” aired its final
episode in 2000, Corey Matthews
and his TV wife Topanga, Corey’s
childhood sweetheart, moved to
New York City where the spin-off
series “Girl Meets World” is set to
take place.
The new series will follow Riley
Matthews (Rowan Blanchard), the
teenage daughter of Cory and Topanga Matthews; Riley, a middle
school student, navigates the challenges of life with her best friend
Maya (Sabrina Carpenter).
Ben Savage and Danielle
Fishel, who played Cory and
Topanga in the original series, will
be reprising their roles.
Rumor has it that George Daniels, the original Mr. Feeney, will
also be reprising his role.
“Girl Meets World” is set to hit the
small screen sometime this summer on Disney Channel.

What You Need To Know About
Secret Menu Items
By Yvette Mancilla
The Collegian
When you read the words “secret
menu,” In-N-Out’s “animal style” toppings might come to mind.
Aside from In-N-Out, which posts its
“Not-So-Secret” menu on its website,
most chains and restaurants do not advertise these so-called off-menu items.
If you do go to certain fast food places
and attempt to order a secret item or
a combination of things, be aware that
these secret menus either actually don’t
exist or are not official like In-N-Out’s.
In fact, restaurants or chains prefer
to call it “pleasing the customer’s needs”
by customizing the menu items to the
customer’s preferences.
Some advice if you would like to go
“off menu” would be to simply order on
a day when the restaurant is not too busy
and has its hands full already with many
customers.
Another tip---in case they do not know
what you are talking about and are met
with raised eyebrows would be--is to
switch to a regular item and forget that
the whole debacle happened.
Remember though, it’s better to give
it a go than to leave your stomach empty
and unsatisfied with “the usual.”
The following items are somewhat
popular, not too well-known (yet) and
hopefully will give you the confidence to
try something new.
Biscotti can be thrown into the mix,
giving your regular Frappuccino additional crunch. The downside is you have
to buy the Biscotti separately, and some
may not allow the blend at all because
they don’t want to potentially harm the
blender with the baked good.
2. Quesarito, Nachos / Chipotle
Chipotle delivers two equally good
choices: the quesarito or nachos. Quesari-
to’s namesake comes from the fact that it
is essentially a quesadilla and a burrito in
one. The cheese is melted onto a tortilla
and then opened to fill with any toppings
you ask for. The nachos are exactly that--chips topped with beans, meat, cheese
and any salsa you would like.
3. Cheese Fries / Five Guys Burgers
& Fries
Five Guys fries covered with cheese;
what more could you ask for? Well, to get
these fries, you do need to ask. The fries
are baked for one minute with cheese on
top.
4. Veggie Whopper / Burger King
Vegetarians, rejoice! No longer do
you have to wait in the drive thru and be
disappointed by all the meat on the menu.
Swap out the regular patty in the Whopper Burger for a veggie patty.
5. Chicken Quesadilla / Chick-fil-A
Fast food’s popular chicken sandwich
chain meets staple Mexican food. Chickfil-A has tortillas along with their chicken,
and together concocts its own chicken
quesadilla.
C
6. Lasagna and Spaghetti / Olive
Garden
Have no fear; your favorite pastas are
here! The combination of the two Italian
favorites eases the stress of deciding
between lasagna and spaghetti. Olive
Garden also has a lasagna and fettuccine
combo for those who prefer the latter.
7. Samoa Frappuccino / Starbucks
Yes, Starbucks made the list twice. The
coffee hub has many combinations and
variations of drinks but this one might be
a bit of a surprise. Mocha Frappuccino
with caramel drizzle sounds like the norm
right? The Samoa version has mocha
coconut flavoring, giving the beverage a
tropical twist.

Joel Kinnaman stars as the title character in Columbia Pictures’ “RoboCop.”
The psychological thriller “Rosemary’s
Baby,” based on Ira Levin’s 1867 bestselling novel, has been green lit as a miniseries by NBC and will star actress Zoe
Saldana, as Rosemary.
The four-part miniseries will be based
in Paris instead of New York, where
Rosemary is impregnated by the devil
and then haunted by her creepy neighbors who are obsessed with her unborn
child.
“Rosemary’s Baby”---written in part
by “American Horror Story” writer James
Wong---will be due later this year. “Suits”
star Patrick J. Adams will play Saldana’s
onscreen husband as Guy Woodhouse.
“24: Live Another Day”
When “24” first appeared on FOX, it
was unlike anything ever seen on any of
the major television networks. The show
followed Jack Bauer, a Counter Terrorist
Unit agent, on 24-hour missions. Each
episode was framed in a chronological
timeline.
The show was dramatic, suspenseful,
and all-around surprising.
It was a major hit for FOX, until its
audience began to dwindle. In 2010, “24”
ended its run.
FOX has decided to reboot the show and
hopes to regain its audience by making
the season 12 episodes long instead of 24.
Kiefer Sutherland will be reprising his
role as Jack Bauer in May.

but it was rewarding.”
That’s not the only role his parents play in the winery. The winery is named after Ramos’ parents - Ramos for his father’s last
name and Torres for his mother’s
maiden name.
The winery’s marketing director, Adriana Espinoza, said
that the logo is a combination
of Ramos’ parents’ astrological
signs, the Libra and Virgo.
The winery has been producing about 2,500 cases of wine
annually, Espinoza said, and sells
to distributors in Wisconsin and
Chicago.
Espinoza said the winery is
trying to emulate French Rhône
wines.
Ramos and the staff are gearing up to taste samples of the 120
barrels at the winery next week in
what Ramos calls a tasting “marathon.” The blends infuse hints of
rose petals, wet earth and cracked
black pepper, all of which contribute to the acid, tannins and
mouth feel of the wine.
“If I didn’t engage and interact,

better product,” Ramos said.
Said Espinoza: “That’s what
makes it double-gold good.”

FRESNO STATE MEN’S HOOPS
In search of
rhythm
Fresno State hosts Wyoming
in hopes of snapping
conference losing streak
By Daniel Leon
The Collegian
The Fresno State men’s basketball team will be
back in action tonight when it hosts the Wyoming
Cowboys. The ‘Dogs (8-13, 1-7 Mountain West)
are coming into this conference matchup having
lost their last five while the Cowboys (13-6, 4-2
MW) are currently riding a four-game win streak.
Fresno State is currently in 10th place in the
Mountain West standings and 6 1/2 games behind
after losing heart-breaking back-to-back overtime
games to conference foes Nevada and UNLV. The
game at home against the Wolf Pack was a doubledigit defeat while the loss in Las Vegas was only by
two points.
Leading the ‘Dogs into this contest is senior
guard Tyler Johnson, who has put up 20 points or
more in five out of the last seven games. In Fresno
State’s loss to UNLV, Johnson had 14 points, three
assists and a team-high eight rebounds in 40 minutes played.
Sophomore guard Cezar Guerrero scored a
team-high 18 points and had six assists in the
Bulldogs’ last matchup. He is the third-highest
scorer on the team (14.1 points per game) and has
4.3 assists per game.
“We’ve been really close in a lot of games and
we just want that game,” Guerrero said. “What
we’ve done is a lot of defensive-minded drills and
also worked on a lot of our offensive skills as well.”
The ‘Dogs inability to close out games is one of
the major storylines this season, and the Cowboys
will try to take advantage of that.
“Right when you go to sleep they try to pick
on the person that’s just not guarding as hard as
usual,” said Guerrero. “We just have to be ready
to guard for the 20-plus seconds on the shot clock,

WOMEN’S HOOPS
Fresno State seeks first win in Laramie
Collegian Staff
After two seasons of futility in
Laramie, Wyo., the Fresno State women’s basketball team will seek to win its
first basketball game in the city.
All-time, the Bulldogs are 0-7 at the
Arena-Auditorium. Last season, the
squad suffered its first of three conference losses there.
All time, however, the Bulldogs
are 10-9 and have won their last two
of three games against Wyoming. In
the 2013 Mountain West Basketball
Championships, Fresno State alum
Ki-Ki Moore’s last-second floater gave
Fresno State the 63-62 victory over the
Cowgirls in the semifinals.
In the three Wyoming-Fresno State
matchups last season, the Bulldogs
made 43.6 percent of their shots, and
the Cowgirls were only one percent
behind.
Defensively, Fresno State forced
Wyoming into 58 turnovers. This season, the Bulldogs are at the top of the
conference, with an average of 61.8
points allowed per contest.
Saturday. Junior guard Kaitlyn Mileto
scored a team-high 25 points in the
game.
Scouting the Cowgirls
After suffering their first road loss
of the season to the Wolf Pack, the
Bulldogs cruised their way to a victory over UNLV last Saturday. In the
18-point victory, Bree Farley scored a
team-high 16 points and tied with junior
guard Alex Furr for the lead in rebounds
(seven).
Currently, Fresno State has two losses in the conference, making it one away
from its 2013 total.
At 6-2 in the conference this season,
a victory over the Cowgirls will give the
Bulldogs a shot at the conference lead.
The first-place Colorado State Rams will
face the streaking Wolf Pack tonight.
Coach Joe Legerski, who is currently
208-120 at Laramie, leads the Cowgirls
in his eleventh season.
This season, the Cowgirls went 9-2
in non-conference contests and are
currently 3-3 in the Mountain West.
At home, they are 7-1. Junior forward
Kayla Woodward is leading the squad,
averaging 17 points and 7.2 rebounds
per game.
Senior guard Fallon Lewis is averaging a double-double, with 15.1 points
and 9.8 rebounds per game.
The Cowgirls are coming off a 72-69
