ASI remembers late political
science professor with resolution
By Alexandra Norton
The Collegian
Today the Fresno State community will gather to remember the
late political science professor Dr.
Rodney Anderson at the Leon S. Peters
Ellipse Gallery on the second floor
of the Henry Madden Library at 11
a.m. where a resolution by Associated
Students, Inc. will be presented.
The passing of Anderson took many
students and professors by surprised,
but members of ASI were especially
hit hard.
“I think ASI was hit because of his
passing mainly because we have a lot of
political science students— now and in
the past,” said Senator Jamie Moncayo.
“A lot of us knew Dr. Anderson personally.”
M o n c ayo w ro t e t h e re s o l u t i o n
and presented it to Political Science
Department Chair Dr. David Schecter
and Professor Kimberly Arvanigian at
last Wednesday’s Senate meeting.
“It’s just a brief biography of Dr.
Anderson about what he did here at
Fresno State in terms of what classes
he taught and how many students he
reached,” Moncayo said. “He was an
avid sports fan and went to many of the
football games. He was also a very big
supporter of the baseball team and was
actually there when the team won the
2008 championship.”
Arvanigian, shared an office with
Anderson for nearly ten years, spoke
of Anderson’s love for Fresno State at
the Senate meeting.
“Dr. Anderson loved his work here.
[He] never complained one day in sixteen years,” Arvanigian said. “The
office is quite empty without him.”
Copies of the resolution will also be
available for attendees.
“We just wanted to do something in
memory,” Moncayo said. “We wanted
something to send to his family that
would show the appreciation students
had for him. That originally was the
purpose of the resolution.”
The Political Science Department is
asking for peoplem, in lieu of flowers,
to make a donation for the Dr. Rodney
Anderson Memorial Fund.
Fresno State President John Welty
ordered flags on campus to be lowered
to half-staff until March 23 for not only
Anderson’s death, but also university
benefactor Pete P. Peters who died at
the age of 94 on Friday.
A funeral service is planned for
Peters on Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the
First Armenian Presbyterian Church.

As the largest library in the CSU system, the Henry Madden Library is a
formidable presence on campus. But
with the surge of technology, a question remains as to whether or not the
need for so many housed books is necessary.
As traffic goes in and out of the
campus library, an electronic system counts every single person. The
total number of people who entered
the library last week was recorded at
35,969.
Dean of the library Dave Tyckoson
said, “It stays pretty steady from 35,000
to 40,000 per week throughout the
school year.”
Aside from the more than one million books provided, students use the
library as a sanctuary for studying
and schoolwork. Out of all of the services that are provided at the library,
some are more popular than others.
According to Tyckoson, book checkout,
research assistance, printing, and the
group and individual study rooms are
the most common uses.
With all of these resources right on
campus, going elsewhere for library
services may seem unnecessary. But
since it is located on campus, its hours
of operation coincide with the school’s
time schedule.
For spring break, the Henry Madden
Library will only be open from 8 a.m.
– 5 p.m. Although classes may be out
for a week, not all students are able to
put their studies on hold. The Fresno
County Library serves as an alternative for those in need. The FCL consists
of multiple branches throughout the
Fresno County with 13 in Fresno alone.
Tyckoson is confident that the campus library will not affect the FCL or
cause it to become extinct.
“The county library plays a key role
in many areas, including computer
training, job searches, recreational
reading, providing meeting space for

A
ssociated Students, Inc. elections are right around the
corner. Elections will be held
online, Tuesday, March 27 through
Thursday, March 29.

efforts of this

year’s candidates, many students are apathetic about their role in
ASI and unconvinced that they should
vote in the upcoming election.
There are many reasons that
every student should vote in the ASI
election! The quick argument is, of
course, that ASI is your official student representation to the campus,
community and the state. Your vote is
your voice, and whoever is elected represents that voice.
If that cliché phrase didn’t convince
you that your vote is important, here
are a few more reasons that all students should vote in the upcoming ASI
election.
Fourth Floor Access
Whoever is elected to the office of
ASI president will ride the library’s
elevator all the way to the fourth floor.
This person is responsible for meeting
regularly with administrators whose
offices are housed there. Whoever you
elect will have the ear of the president,
the provost, and the vice president of
student affairs. This person will be
the student these administrators go
to for student opinion on issues of the
university, so it’s important you vote
for someone who you believe can represent you.
Shared Governance
Whoever is elected will be in charge
of putting students on University Wide
Committees. These committees are
made up of faculty and administrators. They make decisions on everything from what food gets served on
campus, to general education requirements, to what the campus fee will be.
Members of ASI will be asked to serve
on these committees and work with
faculty and administrators to make
those decisions. The work of these
committees is extremely important
and affects the academic and extracurricular experience of Fresno State
students. It’s important to elect someone who can represent you well, but
also someone you trust to choose other
well-deserving students to serve on
these committees.
You are Paying Them
Every student on campus pays a
student body fee, and a portion of this
fee goes to ASI. ASI uses that money
to pay its executive team and staff to
work for you. The money also goes to
supporting tons of campus programs
that are run by ASI, like club funding, research grants, the laptop loan
program housed in the Henry Madden
Library and the readership program
that provides newspapers to the campus.
Fees, Fees, Fees
None of you will be shocked to hear
that higher education is getting more
and more expensive due to a lack of
funding from the state government.
Because of the budget cuts the CSU
system has received, the CSU system
has raised tuition, and individual
campuses are constantly assessing and
increasing campus fees. Fresno State
is no exception. The instructionally
related activities fee was increased by
$70, and more fee increases are being
discussed this year. Whoever you
elect will be responsible for lobbying
the administration in regards to fee
increases. The student government
also acts as the officially student lobbying organization of Fresno State to
the capital regarding budget cuts and
the importance of supporting higher
education.
New Positions
This year, ASI changed its bylaws
so that there are 15 Senate positions
instead of 17, and four executives
instead of three. The new executive position is the Vice President of
External Affairs. As it is the first time
this position is available, whoever
is elected to this position will set the
precedent for what the work of the
One-Finger
Salute
Vice President of External Affairs
looks like moving forward.
The reduction in Senate positions
is also an important reason to vote;
these changes affect who will serve as
the chairs to the ASI Committees and
who is eligible to run for Executive
Vice President position (Chair of the
ASI Senate). Just as with the Vice
President of External Affairs, the
people who are elected to serve this
year will set the precedent in regards
to how ASI Committees and the
Executive Vice President work given
the bylaw reforms. It’s an important
election year for ASI and the future of
ASI at Fresno State.

Invisible Children co-founder
arrested for lewd behavior
After the video “Kony 2012” went viral,
Invisible Children, an organization that
works to “end the use of child soldiers in
Joseph Kony’s rebel war,” and its co-founder Jason Russell, endured new scrutiny, for
better and for worse. It appears that scrutiny was too much for Russell, who engaged
in lewd behavior while apparently being
under the influence of some substance.
While it is easy to make light of such a

etc., that are vital to the
Fresno community,” Tychoson
said. “As budgets get tighter
they might close some lesser

library is a service for everyone and one that would be
greatly missed if it was not

More and more technological progressions are made in

Because of these technology

Penn State trustees receive death threats
Alumni call for trustees to resign and say dismissal of Paterno by phone was cowardly
By Andrew McGill
McClatchy-Tribune
The call came late. And
unlike much of the scandal
that’s enveloped Penn State, it
was crystal clear.
“The coach died,” the
unknown man told Keith
Eckel, a Lackawanna County
farmer and Penn State trustee.
“You will die also.”
As his collea gues voted
Friday to form new committees giving them more oversight in the wake of the Jerry
Sandusky scandal, Eckel said
multiple Penn State board
members have received death
threats for their votes to
fire former head coach Joe
Paterno, who died in January.
It’s the dark side of the outcry against the board, which
has borne the brunt of alumni
anger following Sandusky’s
arrest on child sexual abuse
charges. Many alumni have
called for trustees to resign,
saying their dismissal of
Pater no by telephone was
cowardly. One storefront in
“T
downtown State College briefly hung a banner saying the
trustees have earned “an eternal place in hell.”
But death threats are a
new low for a university that
prides itself on a reputation
for honor and civility. The latest threatening letter came
just a few days ago, Eckel said.
He brushed off concerns for
his safety.
“I’ve lived in the same house
for 63 years,” he said. “I’m
pretty secure.”
Instead, he focused on the
five new committees the board
debated at its public meeting
Friday. The committees’ confirmation by unanimous vote
will expand trustee oversight
into compliance, public relations and legal affairs.
By consolidating three committees into two and adding
three more, trustees will now
supervise audits of both ledgers and leaders, verifying the
university is following the letter of state and federal laws.
They’ll also have more of a
role in pitching the university
to the public, taking respon-

sibility for developing public
relations plans.
Trustees first debuted the
new committees Tuesday to
faculty. In the same address,
board Chairwoman Karen
Peetz stirred up speculation
after saying she’s met with
officials from Cornell to discuss their university’s mostly
private, partially public structure. The university denies
any talk of taking Penn State
private.
With refor ms come new
restrictions. None of the new
committees will reserve seats
for student or faculty representatives. Trustees say they
will consult with others when
appropriate. Before, three students and three faculty members sat on every committee,
though they had no vote.
In his remarks to the board,
Penn State President Rodney
Erickson praised the administration’s efforts to release
more information, noting that
more than 10,000 people have
visited the university’s “openness” website, which hosts
subpoenas, administrator contracts and other Penn State
documents.
Chief among Erickson’s
refor ms is the hiring of a
director of university compliance, the point person for university reform. That position,
whose job description is to be
advertised in the next 10 days,
would answer to the new trustee audit committee.
The university has also
added a Clery Act compliance
officer to its security force
and is developing procedures
to take back keys and access
cards from people not formally associated with Penn State.
Administrators plan to take
a second look at university
policies on minors and will
run more background checks
on staffers who work with
children.
Friday’s meeting was almost
a return to normalcy for trustees. Reports on building projects and the university’s hospital took up the majority of
the meeting’s 2{ hours. The
media pool was noticeably
slimmer than for recent meetings.
But alumni anger followed
trustees into the board room.
In the back row sat six protesters from Penn Staters for
Responsible Stewardship, a
group calling for the board’s
ouster. They brought cheat
s h e e t s o n t r u s t e e s, c o m plete with names and photographs. Their T-shirts spelled
“RESIGN.”
“The alumni are angry. The
alumni are not going to go
away,” said Nan Spyker, of
York. She wore black Nikes
and carefully rolled-up khakis,
an homage to Paterno. “If it
takes 10 years, that’s how long
we’re going to work on it.”
are using the print version.
Senior Leesha Melson prefers to use online sources but
said sometimes professors
require students to use the
library.
“It’s difficult because they’re
[the books] not completely in
order and it’s not really up to
date,” Melson said.
But will libraries as a whole
eventually die out? The number of books checked out at
the campus’s library itself
proves this to be unlikely.
“We checked out 160,000 plus
books last year, so people still
use print books.” Tyckoson
said. “They do like to get lots
of infor mation online, but
books are not going to go away
– and they still will be used
regularly.”

Forgacs. “Specifically the Calculus
textbooks.”
“This way if they have any kind
of smart device they can access the
textbooks electronically or do their
homework in the park if they want to.
It works much better with their personal scheduling,” she said.
A key part of the Forgac’s calculus
course is the online homework system.
“The textbook has features that can
only be fully exploited on a computer,” Frogac said. “We require them to
have access to the online homework
system. It is cheaper than buying the

While it’s clear that CSU administration, students and even some professors
believe that eTextbooks are the wave
of the future, Part II of this series will

students and faculty at Fresno State.

conditions of 1840’s England,
where few could read, let alone
write.
Most people led impoverished and short lives. Women
were expected to tend to the
house and raise children.
Teale’s play uses expressionist lighting, dance, sound and
acting to intermix characters
and scenes from the Brontë
sisters’ books — “Jane Eyre”
by Charlotte; “Wuthering
Heights” by Emily; “Agnes
Grey” by Anne — with the
real-life events of the Brontë
f a m i l y, i n c l u d i n g f a t h e r
Patrick and brother Branwell.
A theme running throughout the play is symbolized by
a hawk puppet, which visits
and guides Emily. The Hawk
Puppeteer is played by graduate student Alyssa Joy Garvin,
who also appears as Cathy
from “Wuthering Heights”
and Bertha from “Jane Eyre.”
As the women struggle to
write their novels, get them
published and be accepted in
the male world of literature,
they also must struggle to support their brother, Branwell,
as he descends from failure
to alcoholism. The production is directed and choreographed by Ruth Griffin, with
very effective use of music
and lighting throughout.
The effects help shape the
mood and guide the audience
through the expressionistic
intricacies of the play’s use of
scenes from the novels, flashbacks and the real and current
lives of the sisters.
This is a play that depends
upon the acting ensemble for
it to be effective and moving.
There are many entrances,
exits and several multiple
roles, which were deftly performed by all.
Matthew Schlitz played a
notable role of father Patrick
Brontë, Mr. Brocklehurst and
Rochester (both from “Jane
Eyre”), Mr. Heger (Charlotte’s
French tutor), and Arthur Bell
Nicholls, with a variety of
accents and costume changes
that was truly masterful.
Also of note were Aaron
McGee, in the roles of failed
brother Branwell, Heathcliff
(from “Wuthering Heights”)

every scene he was in, and
Kia Vassiliades as middle sister Emily, whose spirited performance as well as striking
make-up change in the last
scenes were captivating.
Both Mr. McGee and Ms.
Vassiliades are Theatre Arts
Scholarship recipients.
Brontë runs through March
24. Ticket discounts are available for students and seniors.

Wise said.
Mother Nature would interfere with Saturday’s game as
rains prevented the contest to
go on as scheduled. The game
will be made up on April 21.
Sunday’s 5-0 shutout gave
Fresno State its first series
win since the season’s opening
weekend series against Butler.
The shutout was the Bulldogs’
third of the year and also gave
them a winning record at 10-9.
“We played great defense
again. We didn’t walk anybody
in nine innings and we got
some timely hits,” coach Mike
Batesole said.
The ‘Dogs scored an early
run in the second inning when
Austin Wynns hit a would-be
sacrifice fly to center Garrett
Pierce, who caused an error
allowing Wise to score from
third after his first triple of
the season.
The fourth brought better
fortune when Aaron Judge
tacked on an RBI double to
bring home Jordan Luplow
who singled to lead off the
inning. Luplow advanced to
third on a grounder by Wise
before scoring on a Wynns’
double.

one out in the fifth, and Justin
Haley pitched out of a jam
forcing the Roadrunners’
Kevin Younger to line out

Roadrunners would threaten
as Haley went on to win his
second game of the season.
Haley finished after throwing
six innings and recorded six
strikeouts.
The ‘Dogs would add their
last two runs in the sixth on an
RBI single by Wise and an RBI
ground out by Taylor Tempel.
The Dogs home stand continues with a two-game series

Tar Heels dispatch
Creighton, 87-73
By Andrew Carter
McClatchy-Tribune
G R E E N S B O RO, N. C . —
North Carolina has been on
a season-long quest to find its
edge _ to play with the kind
of consistent intensity of
a champion. The Tar Heels
have found it at times, and did
again here at the Greensboro
Coliseum on Sunday during a 87-73 victory against
Creighton.
Now North Carolina will
hope to carry the momentum
— and its impassioned play
—into the NCAA tournament
Midwest regional later this
week in St. Louis. The Tar
Heels, the No. 1 seed in the
Midwest, used a 9-0 run early
in the first half to take control against the eighth-seeded
Bluejays, who couldn’t slow
down the Heels’ fast-paced
offense.
North Carolina (30-5)
advanced to the NCAA tournament regional semifinals for
the 31st time in school history.
The Tar Heels will play either
12th-seeded South Florida or
No. 13 Ohio.
The Heels will be heavy
favorites against either of
those teams, and they were
against Creighton (29-6), too.
UNC showed why during a
decisive first-half stretch that
was among the Tar Heels’ best
of the season.
That 9-0 run began after UNC
junior forward John Henson,
who had sat out the Heels’ past
three games with an injured
left wrist, was called for a technical foul. Henson received
the technical after exchanging
words with a Creighton player who appeared to swipe at
Henson’s injured wrist, which
he wore wrapped in thick
white tape.
Creighton’s
Doug
McDermott, who starred at
Ames High in Iowa alongside UNC’s Harrison Barnes,
made one of the two technical foul free throws to give the
Bluejays a 12-11 lead. It was
their final lead of the game.
The Tar Heels’ 9-0 run gave
them a 20-12 lead, and UNC
eventually led by as many as
15 points during the first half
— once after a Barnes 3-pointer and again, later in the half,
after a lay-up from James
Michael McAdoo.
The Tar Heels made 14 of
their first 19 shots and shot
54.5 percent during the first
half. Creighton, meanwhile,
had difficulty living up to its
reputation as a team of shooters.
T h e B l u e j ay s e n t e re d
Sunday third in the country
in 3-point field goal percentage, but they made 2 of their
8 3-point attempts during first
half and shot 37.5 percent
overall before halftime. UNC
led 43-35 at halftime.
In his return, Henson finished with 13 points and 10
rebounds for the Heels, who
were led by Kendall Marshall’s
18 points. Henson appeared to
be in obvious pain at times,
but he played 28 minutes and
was a difference both offensively and defensively. The
ACC’s Defensive Player of the
Year, Henson finished with
four blocks.
The much-publicized
re u n i o n b e t we e n B a r n e s
and McDermott, meanwhile,
struggled to meet its considerable hype. The two players
were not matched up against
one another, and the Heels successfully limited McDermott,
who finished with 20 points —
three shy of his average.
Bar nes finished with 17
points, most of them coming late in the game. He made
a 3 with about 4 minutes
and 45 minutes to play after
Creighton had cut UNC’s lead
to 12. Bar nes shot put the
Heels back up by 15, and then
he made another three on the
Heels’ next possession to put
them ahead 81-63.
In addition to his 18 points,
Marshall finished with 11
assists for UNC.

OVER
After three winless seasons, Fresno State’s 17-12 win
over Long Island is the first in program history
By Angel Moreno
The Collegian
The Fresno State lacrosse
team finally has a win under
its belt, beating Long Island
17-12 for the team’s first victory after the program’s 45th
game in history.
I n j u s t h e r t h i rd g a m e
as head coach, Jessica
Pausewang coached the ‘Dogs
to their first win Saturday at
Bulldog Stadium.
“The team has been working so hard and they wanted
to come out and show everyone how hard they have been
working,” Pausewang said
in a release by the university.
“I’m so excited. The support
has been great and I’m just so
happy for everyone. They were
focused from early on and it all
paid off today.”
The lacrosse team, which
had its inaugural season in
2009, went winless for three
seasons before recording its
first win Saturday, ending its
44-game losing streak.
Senior Callie Seidman, who
has been with the team since
its ince ption, was finally
repaid for three years of hard
work.
“It’s an amazing feeling,”
Seidman said. “This was a
long-time coming and we have
worked so hard to get to this
point. We can’t wait to build
on this win.”
The Bulldogs came out early,
scoring in the first minute on
a Taylor Fiehler goal.
Long Island’s Shakoya Smith
responded just three minutes
later to tie, but Fresno State’s
Briana Hetherington scored
an unassisted goal to give the
Bulldogs a lead they would
never relinquish.
After an 8-6 halftime score,
Fresno State went on a 5-1
scoring run to cap the start
of the second half. Freshman
Holly Cisneros started the
run, scoring two of her three
goals in the first four minutes.
Hetherington, a senior, had a
career day for the ‘Dogs, scoring four goals while assisting three more. Her goals and
assists were both game highs.
Long Island’s Ashley
Delaney netted four goals and
Shakoya Smith added three
more but the Fresno State
defense prevented the two
from inflicting anymore damage.
Goalkeeper Katie Wilbur
kept Long Island from reaching the net with 13 saves, 10 of
which came in the second half.
The Bulldogs outshot the
Blackbirds 41-31 for the game,
and drew more draw controls
for the win.
F r e s n o S t a t e i m p r ove d
to 1-2 this season and will
travel to San Diego State on
Tuesday before heading home
on Thursday to play Central
Connecticut.

‘Dogs down Bakersfield despite wet weather

Esteban Cortez / The Collegian
Freshman Chris Mariscal steps up to the plate in the fifth inning as rain and hail begins to fall. Mother Nature didn’t
prevent Sunday’s game but postponed Saturday’s game to April 21.
Rain was the only thing that
stopped the Bulldog pitching
staff, as it allowed one run in
two games to win the weekend series against Cal State
Bakersfield. Fresno State
climbed back climbed back to
one game above .500 with the
wins.
T he ‘ D o g s eve n e d th e ir
record to 9-9 with a 2-1 victory on Friday evening. They
remain a perfect 4-0 on Friday
night g ames this season.
Sophomore Tyler Linehan is
responsible for two wins and
a no decision versus Stanford
during that span.
Linehan pitched another
gem, going seven innings and
allowing only a single run,
lowering his ERA to 1.51. He
also collected 11 strikeouts to
boost his season total to 44.
“[Pitching] has been carrying us right now,” outfielder
Kenny Wise said. “They are
definitely our strength. Once
our bats start waking up we
will be a dangerous team.”
The ‘Dogs had their hands
full with the Roadrunners’
p i t c h i n g s t a f f a l l g a m e.
Starting pitcher Jeff
McKenzie held the Bulldogs
scoreless until the fifth inning
when Pat Hutcheson hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring
home Jordan Brink. Later in
the inning, Chris Mariscal
would send in another run
thanks in part to an error
by center fielder Andrew
Letourneau.
Cal State Bakersfield would
score its only run of game
in the sixth when DC Legg
doubled to left to score Cael
Brockmeyer.
