Event raises money for Bulldog Pride Scholarship Scholarship goes to students who demonstrate pride in the community

By Alexandra Norton The Collegian While some may think that Springtini is an evening to celebrate the changing weather, the event also raises money for The Bulldog Pride Scholarship Fund.

Peter Robertson, founder of the Bulldog Pride Scholarship Fund, said the event on Saturday night raised roughly $1,350. The official amount raised for the scholarship will be announced Monday.

The scholarship is through the Fresno State Alumni Association and was established in 2005 and offers aid to incoming and returning students who are in good academic standing and demonstrate a sense of pride in the community.

For the 2011-12 year, four students received $2,000 scholarships from the Bulldog Pride Fund.

The Bulldog Pride Scholarship Fund partnered up with HiS Magazine and ESPN 1430 for this year’s Springtini and brought in local vendors, models

Where does your money go?

P

aying for College is getting more and more expensive for students. With tuition and fee increases, the cost of textbooks and other class materials, campuses have to find ways to keep college affordable while still providing a quality education.

Students are also becoming more and more critical of how the money they pay is being spent. Like any ASI President Selena Farnesi concerned consumer, students want to make sure they are getting the biggest bang for their buck.

How does the CSU system (and, more importantly, Fresno State) spend student fees?

In this article we are going to break down the types of fees the CSU can charge, the fees Fresno State students pay, how that money flows through the university and what it gets spent on at the end of the day.

Types of fees: Fresno State, as part of the CSU system, can charge five different types of fees. The CSU chancellor’s office has categorized each type of fee and set rules and standards for how those fees are to be adopted on each CSU campus.

Most of the fees require consultation with a Student Fee Advisory Committee before they can be implemented. Fresno State has a functioning Student Fee Advisory Committee

and has adopted fees in each category.

The Student Fee Advisory Committee: The chancellor’s office requires all CSU campuses to have a Student Fee Advisory Committee. On Fresno State’s campus, the committee is made up of five students and four other members.

The university president appoints the four non-student positions and the ASI president appoints the five student positions Chart courtesy of ASI President Selena Farnesi (one student posiThis chart shows the distribution of one’s student fees each semester.

EVENT: Raised about $1,350 for scholarship CONTINUED from page 1 and bands to offer a night’s worth of entertainment in the Park Place Shopping Center on Palm and Nees Avenues.

The 21-and-older-only event opened with local bands and finished the night with a fashion show that showcased clothing from boutiques in Fresno. Local restaurants had the opportunity to sample food and specialty drinks in booths that surrounded the grassy area.

Although the event serves alcohol, event goers were limited to how many drinks they could consume through allotted drink tickets that came with the purchase of the event ticket.

Tickets for the event were $25 pre-sale and $30 at the door.

Along with the funding for the scholarship, proceeds went to hiring security personnel and

event costs.

Robertson said Springtini promotes drinking responsibly, and wasn’t wor ried about Fresno State Alumni Association reputation by associating the event with alcohol.

“We promote responsible drinking — so no drinking and driving, no underage drinking [and] no drinking more than you need to,” Robertson said.

“We haven’t had an incident in the 10 years it’s been going on.”

At every exit, security personnel were standing by, along with cops circling the parking lot to ensure guests of the event were enjoying responsibly.

The Bulldog Pride will have another event to raise money for the scholarship endowment on May 5 at Swiggs Bar/ Sports with a Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Professor's research focuses on air pollution Collegian Staff

“W

e send at least four students every year to the USDA atmospheric chemistry lab in Iowa for air quality training. They get to go to the field. They go as far as Kansas to do measurements.”

The originial v ersion of this article appeared in the Wednesday, April 25 edition of The Collegian. There were a number of errors that were corrected in the following version: Geography professor Segun Ogunjemiyo has always adapted to the community he lives in. Wherever he goes he focuses his research on the needs of that particular community.

When Ogunjemiyo received his bachelor’s degree in his home country of Nigeria, he studied meteorology. Then he moved to Belgium for his master’s degree and shifted his interest to water transfer systems. Ogunjemiyo's next stop was Quebec, Canada, where he received his Ph.D. in atmospheric physics from McGill University, where he analyzed interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere.

Forest ecosystem became very important to Ogunjemiyo when he started working as a research scientist at UC Santa Barbara.

Seven years ago, when he took a position at Fresno State, he focused on the needs of this

Since he started teaching on campus seven years ago, Segun Ogunjemiyo has focused his research on air pollution and controlling it.

community.

“My colleagues wondered why I wanted to come here,” Ogunjemiyo said. “They said things like, ‘It’s terrible, it’s highly polluted.’”

According to the American Lung Association, Fresno,

Merced, Bakersfield, Porterville and Hanford make up five of the top 10 ozone-polluting cities in the U.S. “I’m glad I came here because when I got here I realized this is one area that I really want to work on,”

Ogunjemiyo said. “When you are a Ph.D. holder, you are trained to look at a specific area while at the same time you should be able to adapt to the need of your community.”

When he arrived at Fresno State there were no classes on air pollution and the level of student involvement in geography was non existent.

“I have a class I designed called air quality meteorology,” Ogunjemiyo said, while sitting in his office surrounded by the deflated test balloons he and his students use to measure Fresno air quality.

Ogunjemiyo's belief in hands-on experience is what

led him to seek grants from National Science Foundation and United States Department of Agriculture to help get students that experience. He also partnered with others involved in the science department to give students internships in atmospheric studies measuring air quality in the Valley.

“We send at least four students every year to the USDA atmospheric chemistry lab in Iowa for air quality training,” Ogunjemiyo said. “They go to the field. They go as far as Kansas to do measurements.”

Ogunjemiyo and his students also go to Hanford for week long data sampling.

During the data sampling, Ogunjemiyo and his students primarily focus on ozone, volatile organic matters (VOCs), aerosols and other greenhouse gases including oxides of nitrogen and ammonia.

“None of this existed before,” Ogunjemiyo said. “It is part of the contribution we are making to the air quality.”

Fresno State to host event to raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss

By Jacqueline McReynolds The Collegian Pregnancy and infant loss are two of the hardest things a family can experience. In an effort to bring awareness to these losses as well as raise funds, the Hinds Hospice will hold its 8th Annual Hinds Hospice Angel Babies Walk/ Run on Saturday for the first time at Fresno State.

Hinds Hospice is expecting its largest attendance ever for the walk/run.

“We started with 300 people at our first walk/run at Woodward Park, and everyone was thrilled with the success,” said Lauren Gaither, fund development coordinator.

“This year we are expecting around 1,600 people. The more people that attend, the better.”

Hinds Hospice was founded by Nancy Hinds in 1981.

Hinds Hospice is a non-profit that helps people living with a terminal illness and their caregivers. It also offers hospice services and support programs to those in grief after the loss of a loved one.

Angel Babies is a program that is part of the Center for Grief and Healing at Hinds Hospice. Its mission is to provide comfort, support and uphold the dignity of families

“Y

ou don't hear many people talk about infant loss and pregnancy loss. Using the walk/run to honor and remember a loved one makes this an amazing and neat experience to be a part of.”

whose babies have been affected with a condition or whose babies have died.

“You don’t hear many people talk about infant loss and pregnancy loss,” said Samantha Schuh, director of fund development. “Using the walk/ run to honor and remember a loved one makes this an amazing and neat experience to be a part of. The infant or child being remembered at the walk/run doesn’t need to have been an Angel Baby.”

Hinds Hospice moved the run/walk to Fresno State after parking became an issue at Woodward Park.

“Fresno State allowed for growth and we feel very comfortable to be able to host the

nce you go out there, you are instantly a part of something special and it becomes hard not to support it.”

run/walk there for the very first time,” Schuh said.

The event will feature a 5K and a two mile walk/race for adults. Children from ages 7 to 9 may participate in the quarter-mile fun run. The 1/8 mile

fun run will be for children 6 years of age or younger.

Registration will be in front of the Satellite Student Union beginning at 6:45 a.m., followed by a pancake breakfast donated in part by Denny’s and prepared by the North Fresno Lions Club.

A raffle will begin at 9:30 a.m. and consists of prizes such as a Las Vegas trip for two, a family four pack to Hearst Castle, tickets to Six Flags, a family fun night which includes dinner at Chevy’s and bowling at Sierra lanes and much more.

“Once you go out there, you are instantly a part of something special and it becomes hard not to support,” Gaither said.

The participation fee is $20 per adult and $12 per child under 9 years.

Hinds Hospice will also host the Angel Babies Golf Classic on June 25 at the Sunnyside Country Club.

Students are encouraged and welcomed to volunteer at Hinds Hospice or at any of its events. Interested students can contact Hinds Hospice for more information about participating or volunteering.

ATTENTION FRESNO STATE STUDENTS: What is the Student Health Fee? The Student Health Fee is part of the institutional fees. It is defined as a OPEN FORUM for prepaid access to healthcare for all currently enrolled students under the Proposed Student Health Fee Increase Executive Order-943 of the CSU. Students are currently paying $93 per semester.

Students are encouraged to attend one of these public forums regarding the proposed Student Health Fee increase.

Wednesday, April 18 12 Noon to 1:00 p.m.

University Student Union 312-314 (Light snack and refreshments will be provided)

Tuesday, April 24

6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Thursday, May 3

Residence Hall Atrium

(Light snack and refreshments will be provided)

All currently enrolled students, with or without insurance, are eligible to use the no cost and low cost healthcare services available in the health center.

Why is there a need to increase the Student Health Fee?

Due to various factors that affected the cost of operating the University Health and Psychological Services, it is no longer able to sustain its level of service based on the current funding level. Its current funding level had been so low that there has been a significant decline in access for student users.

What is the new fee proposal?

The proposal is to increase the Student Health Fee by $5 annually beginning Fall 2012 over the next four years for a total increase of $20 by the year 2016. This will mean that the current semester fee of $93 will gradually increase over four years to a semester fee of $113 per semester. The last student health fee increase was passed by students in 2005 and ended in 2009.

How is the input being gathered?

Input is going to be gathered from many student groups to include the following: Associated Students Inc. Senate, University Student Union Board, President’s Lunch Group of Student Leaders, Resident Hall Advising Group, International Student Associations, Intra Fraternity Council, PanHellenic Council, Student Dietetic Association, Online surveys via email, website, and Facebook, and open forums.

After all the input is gathered, the result of this alternative consultation will be presented to the Campus Fee Advisory Committee for possible consideration by President Welty.

Fresno State students are encouraged to express their opinion about a proposed student health fee increase to the current student health For further information about the Student Health Fee Increase, please go to: www.csufresno.edu/health/News fee to be assessed starting in the Fall 2012.

Bringing back Hollywood’s golden era to campus

By Esteban Cortez The Collegian Many of the trends featured in the world’s largest fashion shows walked the runway this weekend in the second annual spring fashion show put on by Fresno State’s Fashion INC. club.

Floral prints, pastel-colored tops and color-blocking styles were present on the runway Saturday at the Smittcamp A l u m n i H o u s e, i n wh at Fashion INC. president Sara Pena called a “stressful” but “exciting” experience.

“I woke up a little nervous and feeling a little bit of anxiety,” Pena said about preparing for the show on Saturday. “Once the show started, I was so excited to see everything that was coming down [the runway] and everyone in the crowd.”

Thirteen student designers and stylists — all members of Fashion INC. — showed off their collections to more than 300 people on Saturday just before the sun went down.

The students, many of which are majoring in fashion merchandising, were all responsible for either designing or styling a small collection of looks, from the hair and makeup, to the accessories and garments worn by their models.

Reyna Cazares, a F resno State fashion merchandising student and vice president of

Fashion INC., was the second student to show her collection, which featured floral-filled gar ments inspired by Marilyn Monroe and the “timeless beauty of the women from old Hollywood.”

Cazares began sketching ideas and outfits four months ago, which helped her visualize the collection.

She sent a variety of looks inspired by old Hollywood glamour, including a floral maxi skirt she designed and created, styled with a white lace top. Cazares finished off the look with a black faux fur resting on the model’s shoulders and styled the outfit with vintage jewelry and a bright red lip.

Cazares was one of few students who styled and designed looks for a collection.

She said that she had two models drop out of the show at the last minute, forcing her to scramble for replacements.

“It was a little hard to do it by myself,” she said about styling and designing the collection. “But you just have to go out there and find people who are willing to do it.”

Among the 13 student designers and stylists were Brandon Yang and Victoria Borbon, who both designed and created their own looks.

Borbon, who considers herself a “curvy woman,” said she was tired of spending money on clothes that didn’t fit and altering them for her body, so she decided to design and create her own collection.

Vintage-style dresses made up

most of Borbon’s collection, which included a black and white polka dot strapless dress styled with a yellow belt and flower hairpiece.

Pena, who helped plan the entire fashion show, said planning the event was a lot of hard work, but she hopes it happens every year.

Pena added that the turnout was much bigger than last year, which she thinks is a result of early planning and constant promotion of the show. The club began promoting the event at the beginning of the semester by passing out fliers and advertising on Facebook.

The show was funded entirely by the club through ticket sales, fundraising efforts, and vendor booths and sponsors, which included local businesses and national chain stores such as Buckle, which closed the show on Saturday around sunset.

Cazares said that the overall goals of the Fashion INC. are to give students more hands-on experience in the fashion industry and to promote the fashion merchandising program at Fresno State.

“It’s definitely a great experience, and I think it shows,” Cazares said. “Even though Fresno isn’t a fashion capital, we want people to know that there is a lot of talent here, and I was happy to see that we were able to exhibit that through our fashion show.”

Collegian Staff Fresno State’s opportunity to take hold of the Western Athletic Conference’s top spot turned into a showcase as to why Hawaii is nationally ranked.

T he ‘Do gs and Rainbow Wahine came into the contest

as the WAC’s elite. Hawaii was sporting an 11-3 conference record and Fresno State had an 11-2 conference record.

On Friday, Hawaii ripped the ‘Dogs, 11-3, aided by a ninerun fifth inning. Fresno State came back in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader and forced an 11-inning con-

test before falling, 1-0. In the series’ final game, Hawaii battled through a pitchers duel for a 2-0 victory.

Michelle Moses started the series opener and Mackenzie Oakes started both games in the doubleheader.

Fresno State will travel to San Jose State on Tuesday.

Bulldogs still face roadblock as Nevada takes season series

By Tim Salazar The Collegian

The Bulldogs failed to escape Nevada with a series win, taking one of three from the Wolf Pack.

The Bulldogs saw their 2-0 lead evaporate in fifth inning as the team dipped into to last place in the WAC with an 8-2 drubbing at the hands of the Wolf Pack. The ‘Dogs could not capitalize on chances as the team got its lead-off batter on base six times; the team also had 12 hits, stranding 10 runners. Nevada’s Braden Shipley took the win raising his record to 7-3.

Saturday, the ‘Dogs let loose some of their frustration on

the Wolf Pack pitching staff with a 14-2 onslaught. The Bulldogs had seven players reach base multiple times, six having multiple hits. The Bulldogs’ Justin Haley got his fifth win of the year and struck out nine.

None of Nevada’s pitchers had an answer for the Bulldogs offense. Nevada’s four pitchers each couldn’t go past 2.2 innings. Three of the four would go on to give up multiple runs.

The offense in Sunday’s rubber match came to a screeching halt with neither team getting much going. The Bulldogs dropped a heartbreaker, 1-0.

N e v a d a ’ s p i t c h e r To m Jameson went the distance

allowing eight scattered hits and striking out two. The victory was the sixth of the year for Jameson who raised his record to 6-1.

Nevada finally broke through in the seventh with an RBI single from Carlos Escobar Jr. off reliever Cody Kendall bringing in Garrett Yrigoyen who doubled of Thomas Harlan earlier in the inning. Harlan had allowed only one hit prior to the double in the seventh inning; he would finish the day with an impressive pitching line consisting of 6.2 innings giving up the one run, only two hits, while striking out seven and not allowing a walk.

the third doubles match unfinished.

The Bulldogs, however, turned things around in singles play, sweeping the first three singles matches behind Boutillier, Alcantara and Jean-Charles Diame. Alcantara stared the Bulldog run with a 6-4, 6-2, defeat over Akbara while Boutillier followed suit in a 6-3, 6-2 win over Marius Cirstea. Diame ear ned the Bulldogs’ third singles point in a 6-1, 6-2, victory over Ramos to leave the Bulldogs just one singles win away from the championship.

WYLIE BECOMES A CHIEF

Dalton Runberg / The Collegian

Hail to the Chief Receiver Devon Wylie (7) was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 107th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He becomes the 68th Fresno State player to be taken in the NFL Draft and 23rd since 2001.

By Angel Moreno The Collegian S e n i o r s t a n d o u t re c e ive r Devon Wylie became the 68th Bulldog to be drafted into the NFL when the Kansas City Chiefs selected him with the 107th overall pick in the fourth round on Saturday.

Cur rent and for mer teammates took to Twitter to express their congratulations of Wylie being picked up by the Chiefs.

Junior defensive lineman Nikko Motta (@NEEKSFSU) tweeted “Shout out to Wylie !!! Yessssiiirrr.” And for mer Bulldo g Jalen Saunders (@ Jalen6Saunders) also tweeted “Wiggles!!!!! I see u bra WIDEOUTS.” Wylie, or “Wiggles” as he’s known by his teammates, fin-

ished fifth in the nation among punt returners with a 15.4 yard average on 29 returns.

He retur ned two punts for touchdowns in his senior campaign; a 67-yarder at No. 10 Nebraska and a 79-yard return for a touchdown against No. 5 Boise State.

The return specialist earned A l l - A m e r i c a n h o n o r s f ro m Yahoo! Sports, Phil Steele and Sports Illustrated after last season, and was also named to the All-WAC second team.

Wylie participated in the 2012 East-West Shrine Game as a punt returner and returned four punts for 54 yards, a 13.5 average.

After missing the 2010 season due to a foot injury, Wylie returned in 2011 stronger and faster to finish his career as a Bulldog with 98 receptions for

1,327 yards and eight touchdowns. He also returned 41 punts for an average of 13.5 yards while at Fresno State.

Noted for his speed, the Chiefs are likely to use Wylie as a slot receiver and punt return specialist, in hopes Wigglies can become their own Wes Welker.

While Wylie was the only Bulldog selected in the NFL Draft, two Bulldogs signed on to NFL teams as undrafted free agents.

Defensive tackle Logan Harrell signed with the San Die go Chargers while offensive lineman Bryce Harris signed with the Atlanta Falcons and will reunite with former head coach Pat Hill who became their offensive line coach in January.
