Opponents of a plan to open the Fulton Mall up to traffic held a rally in the mall Saturday ahead of Thursday's City Council meeting.

FATE OF FULTON MALL TO BE DECIDED

By Jesse Franz

@JesseOfTheNews A showdown is set for Thursday where, after years of debate, Fresno’s City Council is expected to decide the fate of the Fulton Mall. The decision

-- whether or not to remodel and allow traffic to pass through, ending its 50-year history as a pedestrian mall.

At the 5 p.m. meeting, for which both sides promise to come out en masse, the council will decide whether to accept funding, revise the general plan and certify the environmental impact report for

the project.

The project would be funded through nearly $16 million in federal grants already awarded to Fresno. In addition, the city will apply for $1.8 million from Measure C funding.

Ukraine opposition gains power

By Jesse Franz

@JesseOfTheNews The most ardent foe of Ukraine's beleaguered president, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, was freed from prison Saturday and rushed to the capital, where she was greeted by tens of thousands of supporters chanting her name.

President Viktor Yanukovich fled Kiev, retreating to his eastern stronghold claiming to be the country’s leader and saying he would not resign.

But it seemed that no one was listening anymore.

Parliament voted to remove him from office and set a new presidential election for May 25.

OneCollege heartaches: Best Finger Friends For-Never Salute One of the downsides of pursuing a higher education is forgetting friendships

By Julian Paredes @highdefjulian

I’ve been a student at Fresno State for a long time – probably too long.

I’m a “super senior”, like a lot of people. In my time here I’ve jumped from several majors, took dozens of classes and met a very diverse swath of people. It hasn’t been a really bad experience meeting all those people; in fact it’s been one of the more positive ones.

But meeting all of those people has led to certain situations that I think are absurd.

Over the years, I’ve made many friends and kept very few of them.

It’s disappointing, but I understand. It’s part of the college experience that I’m sure we can all relate with to some degree.

We all have our own paths we have to take, and it often diverges from the people we meet from class to class.

But what shouldn’t be a part of the college experience are the awkward encounters that occur after taking separate paths.

Have you ever seen someone you had a class with in the past or were

friends with in previous semesters and have them walk right past you like a stranger?

I have. It’s stupid.

Why do people do that? And I know it’s not because those people didn’t see me either. In many cases we make direct eye contact, and it ends with the same result.

I’ve been here for long enough that this happens on an almost weekly occasion. Friendships apparently don’t mean much past a semester.

Sometimes there will be situations when a past classmate and I do see one another and neither of us are quite sure what do. It’s like Adam and Eve looking at one another for the first time, and neither of us are sure what to make of the other – like we’re two aliens.

Do they remember me?

Should I say hi?

What do I do?

These are some of the questions we probably ask when we see each other.

At least for me, the answers are: Yes, I do remember. Yes, you should say hi and maybe, just acknowledge the fact that we were friends at one point.

It’s not a difficult thing to do, and it’s certainly better than ignoring each other’s existence. I genuinely don’t understand that rationale some have.

I really doubt most people have memories bad enough to forget friends so quickly. I don’t, if nothing else.

I’m awful with names, but I never forget faces. And I’ll always be cordial enough to at least say hi, and to ask how a person has been. Even if I did forget, I’m certainly not going to attack you just for saying hi.

It’s one of the more ridiculous things I’ve encountered in college.

I really don’t think I’m alone in the way I feel.

Making lifelong friends is one of the best things people take away from their college life. It might be just as valuable as a college degree.

Most friendships won’t last for life, but I wish they would last longer than one semester. _______________________

THUMBS UP FRESNO STATE EQUESTRIAN: The Bulldogs pulled off a David versus Goliath-like upset this weekend when it beat the Baylor Bears, ranked second in the nation. At home. On Senior Day. There might not be a sweeter cherry that could be put on top of that.

THUMBS DOWN

SOCHI 2014: The final score: Russia 33, United States 28. There were some great and memorable events for the Americans -- such as Ted Ligety winning the gold in alpine skiing -- but, as Ricky Bobby once said: If you ain't first, you're last.

THUMBS UP

Spring is almost here!

BULLDOGS AT THE NFL COMBINE: Derek Carr ran a 4.69 40-yard dash -- just .01 seconds behind Johnny Football. Davante Adams was third among this year's wide receiver class in the vertical jump, posting a 39 1/2inch mark. Maybe two Bulldogs might be drafted in the first round come May.

Groups to battle for mall's future FULTON from Page 1 This comes after the Feb. 5 Planning Commission meeting unanimously endorsed the project.

The issue, a key part of Mayor Ashley Swearengin’s downtown revitalization efforts, has galvanized activists on both sides of the project to go into overdrive.

During a rally at the mall Saturday sixty people clad in green “Save the Fulton Mall” shirts voiced their opposition to the proposed plan.

Kiel Schmidt, an organizer of the event, said there are better things the city can do for the mall than opening it up to traffic.

“We’re here because we think the Fulton Mall as a pedestrian mall can contribute to downtown revitalization, and we want to see it restored and properly cared for,” Schmidt said.

“We don’t think that a street is the answer. There are bigger economic problems at play and we need to do some of the more simple, small steps to make revitalization to happen, and it is happening.”

During the two-hour event, speakers decried the plan saying that it would hurt the history, art and community in the Fulton Mall.

One speaker even went as far to vow that if the plan is approved she will chain herself to a tree blocking bulldozers from construction.

“I am going to tie myself to

that tree down there if they come down with those bulldozers, and I hope you will join me,” she said.

Another major concern of Fulton Mall preservationists is the possibility that once traffic is allowed rates might go up, forcing some renters out.

Steve Skibbie, Downtown Fresno Partnership business liaison and proponent of the plan, said that’s not always a bad thing. Rising property values, he said, will lead to a more competitive business market and greater diversity.

“There’s four botanicas, and two of them are named the same thing, there’s six cowboy boot stores, there’s these kind of things,” Skibbie said. “Diversity helps an area survive, and I think the rising value of the properties helps the properties survive.”

Fresno was the second city in the nation to have a pedestrian mall, and there was no precedent set that they were economically viable, he said.

“In 180 other cities they did the same thing to their pedestrian malls, and they saw great success in their downtowns after being in very depressed economic situations, like ours is currently,” Skibbie said.

Skibbies optimistic that the council will okay the project, “But then again, it’s the city council, and who knows what you’re going to get,” he said.

If passed, construction could begin as early as next February.

Freed opposition leader addresses protesters UKRAINE from Page 1 His opponents took control of the Council of Ministers building and the president's administrative offices. Protesters also seized the presidential residence, and by midday the road there was clogged with cars full of people who wanted to see how the president had lived.

Events in Kiev and around the country had the feel of a revolution nearing its culmination, and left Fresno State students from Ukraine watching from over 6,000 miles away.

For Yulia Gasio, a Fresno State history major who moved to the U.S. from Ukraine in 2004, there’s no getting used to seeing the violence.

“The way things happened really stirred a lot of feelings in me, because I was not prepared to see Ukrainians kill Ukrainians,” Gasio said.

Although, like most of the protesters in Kiev, she would like to see Ukraine have closer ties with the West she never thought that the protests would come to this.

“I didn’t think it would go that far,” Gasio said. “I hoped that they would have reached some healthy medium where the president wouldn’t just run away. But now it’s just too much.”

All of her family still lives in the Ukraine and their welfare is a major concern.

“I’m concerned about them because violence is still going on on the streets, in not only Kiev but in my hometown as well,” Gasio said.

In Kiev's Independence Square, the former prime minister appeared before more than 30,000 supporters after being freed from prison by parliament.

She had been serving a sevenyear term for abusing her power, a charge that supporters and Western governments considered political retribution.

The crowd chanted: "Yulia!

Yulia! Yulia!"

The charismatic Tymoshenko heaped praise on antigovernment protesters and urged them to remain in the square until a new president was elected.

"Today we have an open

road to the Ukraine you want," Tymoshenko said. "The policy of behind-the-scenes intrigues is over. By the blood you shed, by your heroism, by your patriotism you deserved the right to rule over your Ukraine."

Tymoshenko urged that "Yanukovich and his cronies" be caught and delivered to protesters in the square. The emotional pitch of her speech was so high that it was interrupted several times by calls for medical assistance in the dense crowd as some people, worn out by long days of violencemarked demonstrations, passed out.

Some found it hard to recognize the blond woman with a trademark braid wrapped around her head. The famous braid was in place, but her face was swollen and her small figure was pushed onto the square's stage in a wheelchair, a consequence of a spinal condition that worsened in jail.

Her words, however, retained their power.

"I want to apologize for all politicians and all officials who are unworthy of you," she said.

"From this moment there won't be a Ukraine different from what you want. I will be your guarantor for it."

Vadim Karasyov, head of the Institute of Global Strategies think tank in Kiev, said her speech indicated she was already campaigning to replace Yanukovich.

"I don't see who can challenge her for the presidency now.

"The crowd loves her again, she suits both the Kremlin and the West, she knows how to milk our oligarchs to make ordinary people

happy, and she suffered greatly at the hands of Yanukovich," he said.

Tymoshenko was sent to prison because of a natural-gas deal she signed with Russia that her critics said put Ukraine at a severe disadvantage. Analysts said, however, that her ability to negotiate the deal shows she can do business with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Close to the end of her speech somebody shouted: "A traitor in the crowd!" Tymoshenko's burly security guards immediately stood in front of her as dozens of young men in helmets with clubs began elbowing their way through the crowd in search of someone who was never found.

In the commotion, Tymoshenko was quietly rolled away from the stage.

More than 100 people have been killed across Ukraine in the worst political violence in its postSoviet history. Protests began in November when Yanukovich rejected association with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Moscow. Ukraine is sharply divided between western regions that look toward the rest of Europe and eastern areas that are closer to Russia. Russian officials have accused the West of trying to exploit the unrest.

Events gained a dizzying pace in the last week. On Friday, facing outrage after snipers cut down protesters in the streets of Kiev and a collapse of support from security forces, Yanukovich signed a broad agreement with opposition leaders. It included an amnesty for protesters and said that presidential elections, origi-

nally set for next March, would be held before December.

From his stronghold in Kharkiv, about 25 miles from the Russian border, Yanukovich begged international mediators to intervene. He said he fled to Kharkiv after protesters shot at his car.

"The opposition is trying to scare me all the time with ultimatums," Yanukovich said. "I am not going to resign. I am a legitimately elected president."

Yanukovich had been expected to attend a congress of his supporters and allies Saturday in Kharkiv but didn't appear.

Governors, lawmakers and bureaucrats who were present vowed "to preserve the unity of Ukraine."

Meanwhile, in Kiev, parliament appointed an acting police chief who immediately invited opposition activists to patrol the streets with regular police officers.

Despite funeral processions for protesters killed in the violence, a festive feeling pervaded the capital. For the first time in a week, protesters took off flak jackets and helmets and brought children to the main square. Shops also began to reopen.

Danil Nagorny, a 7-year-old boy carrying a toy machine gun and wearing his father's bright orange helmet, came with his parents to Independence Square to lay flowers. "Some heroes died and they need flowers now," he said. _________________

Historic bank robbery comes to life

‘Orpheus’ Plays To Charm The 36th season of the Orpheus concert series opened with guest artists Musica Viva

Clovis Dry Creek Museum reenacts 90-year-old bank heist

The 36th season of the Orpheus concert series opened Sunday evening with the string quartet Musica Viva, captivating an audience of all ages in Fresno State’s Wahlberg Recital Hall.

The group, comprised of two violins, a viola and a cello, performed classical pieces from three renowned composers Aaron Copland, Philip Glass and Felix Mendelssohn.

During the two-hour performance, the music created a mixture of emotions for the audi-

ence, each piece orchestrating a serene feeling before dramatically shifting in intensity.

Calm moments quickly turned into moments of frenzy or excitement.

For artistic director Jack Fortner, this diversity is what defines the “innovative” programming behind Orpheus.

Running the program for the last 35 years, Fortner aspires to bring something different to each season.

“One of the things about Orpheus, as far as a listener goes, is you never know what to expect,” Fortner said.

Beyond the essence of variety,

Fortner said the aim of the series is to “charm” audiences through its music, similar to the legendary musician and poet Orpheus of ancient Greek mythology.

The Greek myths about Orpheus convey an artist who had the ability to charm things both living and dead with his melodies.

The most notable myth is Orpheus’ rescue of Eurydice, the musician rescuing his wife from death by enchanting the hearts of Hades and Persephone, the God and Queen of the Underworld.

Inspired by such stories, Fortner chose Orpheus as the series title in the spirit of captivating

people with divine music.

“One of the greatest musicians of the world could charm the animals and the gods, and that’s our goal – to charm,” Fortner said.

Diane Majors, a retired Fresno State librarian and a regular to Fresno State’s musical events, said the performance’s appeal comes from listening to unfamiliar pieces, living up to Fortner’s ambition of delivering variety.

Majors was originally apprehensive of the American composer Philip Glass’ reputation, but her biggest surprise was listening to Glass’ “String Quarter No. 5.”

“I think his music’s kind of weird. That’s my impression,”

Majors said. “So I was pleasantly surprised that it was very traditional.”

Yet the performance didn’t just attract educated fans such as Majors. The recital also drew in newcomers.

Senior Ariana Garcia was attracted to the performance because of the violins, straying away from her preferred genre of Spanish music.

New to the world of classical composers, she was surprised that despite the intensity of the music it has an ability to “bring peace.”

“For some reason it relaxes me, even though it doesn’t seem like relaxing music,” Garcia said.

“It’s completely different.”

Musica Viva was the first performance of the four in the Orpheus series that will be held at Fresno State.

Scheduled throughout the spring, the remaining three events will continue with the theme of variety in musical classical performance.

Most notable is the world premiere of chamber opera ‘NOTHING and more’ which will feature the El Cimarrón Ensemble from Salzburg, Austria, collaborating with the Orpheus Chamber Music Ensemble.

Scheduled for March 15 in the Fresno State Concert Hall, the opera is directed and composed

by Fortner.

The final two performances will be a solo recital by pianist Michael Krikorian on April 6 and the series finale by Orpheus Chamber Music Ensemble on May 11.

Tickets cost $15 for public and $5 for students.

Two notorious criminals—Felix “The Lone Wolf” Sloper and Thomas “The Owl” Griffin robbed the Clovis First State Bank on Feb. 5, 1924.

For the past 10 years, the Clovis Dry Creek Museum has made it a tradition to reenact the infamous crime every February.

Museum President Peggy Bos, who wrote the 15-minute melodrama, said the reenactment has served as a great family experience over the years.

The melodrama performance chronicles the daring robbery and escape that garnered huge media attention.

“This building [Clovis Dry Creek Museum] was a bank in 1912,” Bos said. “In 1924, the Owl and the Lone Wolf came in and they robbed us of $31,800. No one was hurt, but they locked the cashier in the vault. They

ran out and threw tacks as they were pursued in their car out on Clovis Avenue.”

The museum still has the original vault from the bank robbery for audience members to go inside and see where cashier Thomas Howlson was tied up and thrown into by the two criminals.

The interactive performance on Feb. 22 allowed the audience to not only learn about the historical event, but also enjoy themselves in the process.

Bos encouraged the audience to cheer throughout the performance.

The Owl and the Lone Wolf were met with boos from the audience, but when it came to their capture, the audience roared in approval.

Jack Richie, a retired deputy sheriff, said that he and his wife were intrigued by the bank robbery story.

“We just like downtown Clovis and anything to do with it,” Richie said.

“The history of Clovis, we’re always

into history.

Charldene Cluff, a fan of melodrama performances, said she enjoyed the production and the history it told.

“The show is fun to watch,” Cluff said. “It’s fun to see the actors getting into their performance when they’re getting into the old 1924 type of entertainment and they put on a good job.”

The crime ultimately didn’t pay off in the end as both the Owl and the Lone Wolf were captured.

“They were traced. One was found in Oakland and they brought him back with his girlfriend and they sent him to Folsom Prison,” Bos said. “The other one was a bad dude. He went out and shot and killed a police officer. So crime doesn’t pay off in Clovis because one of them died of pneumonia and the other one was hanged.”

C

“Working in the New American Legal Clinic has been an extraordinary experience.

I see firsthand what a positive impact an attorney can have upon a person’s life.”

‘Dogs sweep weekend set on Senior Day Fresno State upsets No. 2 Baylor at home

Collegian staff report The Fresno State equestrian team swept its weekend tournament against the Southern Methodist University Mustangs and the Baylor Bears.

“This is huge for us,” Fresno State coach Eric Hubbard said. “Ecstatic is the best way to put it.”

Coming off of yesterday’s upset over No. 2 Baylor, Hubbard said the team was feeling confident for today’s competition.

“You can never be too confident, though,” he said. “We wanted to take the confidence we had from yesterday, but still ride smart and with focus.”

The Bulldogs beat the Mustangs in both the hunt seat (six points) and western (four points) categories.

The team also earned three of the four Most Outstanding Player awards. Macy Wilson earned the title for her ride in equitation on the flat with a score of 82.

Sydney Elliot took the award for horsemanship, and Taylor Brown earned her third MOP award of the season in reining.

“This is it,” Hubbard said. “This was our only home competition, so to have this happen is amazing.”

Before the competition, eight seniors were honored: Belle Calkin, Dayle Fischer, Hannah Flammang, Rio Haack, Whitney Kittle, Sonya Koch, Chelsie Stone and Shauna Woodward.

The `Dogs will hit the road to Brookings, S.D., for a non-conference tournament against South Dakota State University, University of Texas at Martin and Delaware State University.

Fresno State serves last-second magic against Utah State BULLDOGS from Page 8 eight assists and five steals.

“I honestly wasn’t even thinking,” Thompson said. “I just said I’m going to take the best shot that we can get, or I’m going to get it to someone who has the best shot for them.

“I prayed when the shot went up and it went in, so it was good for us.”

Utah State guard Jennifer Schlott exploded for a game-high 35 points while shooting 14 of 24 from the field. The 5-foot-6 senior led the way for the Aggies (11-15, 5-10 MW) as they shot 51.8 percent for the game.

Schlott’s shooting powered the Aggies offense for a majority of the afternoon.

She nailed a 3-pointer to tie the game 70-70 with seven seconds left in the game before Thompson’s game-winning floater.

“Utah State definitely is a tough team and Jennifer Schlott is outstanding,” Pebley said. “She is an outstanding player and you can tell that she is really the leader and the catalyst for that team in a lot of ways.”

Bree Farley led the team with 18 points and sunk a couple of critical free throws down the stretch to help the ‘Dogs come back and set up the win. Raven Fox tied her career high with 13 points off the bench in her 20 minutes on the court.

“I’m just so proud of our ‘Dogs, we needed a close win like that,” Pebley said.

“We’ve had some painful, close losses and to win a close game like that will really help us as we head into the tournament.”

The Fresno State women’s basketball team has now won 11 straight against the Aggies and remains in third place in the conference behind the Boise State Broncos and the first-place Colorado State Rams.

The Bulldogs have three games left on their schedule before they head to Las Vegas, for the 2014 Mountain West Tournament. Their next contest is against Boise State, the team that sits a half game in front of them in the conference standings.

The Bulldogs’ last home game of the year will take place March 7 when they host the San Jose Spartans on Senior Night.

Fresno State takes two of five games at Mary Nutter Classic over the weekend

By Christopher Livingston @senorlivingston

The Fresno State softball team won two out of five games at the Mary Nutter Classic in Cathedral City, Calif.

Sunday’s matchup against the Tennessee Lady Volunteers ended in a 1-run loss after Tennessee catcher Hannah Akamine reached on an error by third baseman Vonnie Martin, scoring Cheyanne Tarango to win the game in

the bottom of the seventh.

Fresno State pitcher Taylor Langdon started the game and threw three innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs. Hannah Harris pitched two innings in relief, then Kiley Shae Aldridge (0-1) threw 38 pitches in the seventh.

Tennessee and Fresno State each scored one run in the first inning before Brenna Moss tripled in a run, and Brooke Ortiz followed with a run-scoring single to give the Bulldogs two in the second stanza.

In the third inning, Martin powered a home run to center field to increase the ‘Dogs’ lead to 3-1.

But the Lady Volunteers bounced back.

Shortstop Madison Shipman homered to right-center field in the third, and Bulldog pitcher Hannah Harris allowed a bases-loaded walk to Shipman in the fourth to tie the contest at 3.

Tennessee scored the game-tying run in the fifth when Taylor Koenig batted in Haley Tobler with two outs left in the inning.

Fresno State senior guard Taylor Thompson hit the game-winner as time expired to lift the Bulldogs to a 72-70 victory past the Utah State Aggies, head coach Raegan Pebley’s former team, Saturday afternoon at the Save Mart Center.

The win marked Pebley’s 150th career win.

“What a great game for our team and a great game for an incredible crowd,” Pebley said. Our Red Wave was amazing tonight.

The Bulldogs (16-10, 10-5 Mountain West), who trailed by 10 with about five minutes left in the game, went on a 9-0 run to cut the Aggies’ lead to one.

The run paid off in the end as it helped the ‘Dogs climb back into the game and set up Thompson’s buzzer-beater.

Thompson, along with her 16 points, also had a game-high

BULLDOGS SWEEP PACK

Fresno State sweeps first conference opponent of season, hosts CSU Bakersfield Wednesday

By Christopher Livingston @senorlivingston

Going into the game against Nevada, the Fresno State baseball team had one thing on its mind: win.

And in the sixth inning of Sunday’s game, with the Wolf Pack threatening to prevent a Bulldogs sweep, Fresno State freshman Joe Prior stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded, seeking his first college hit.

Prior sprayed the ball in the outfield, getting his first hit and RBI. Then Nevada shortstop Kyle Hunt, trying to get the forceout

at third, threw the ball into the Fresno State dugout. That scored two more runs and tied the contest at 5-5.

Fresno State third baseman Chris Mariscal knocked in a run, a Jordan Luplow single scored two, and the Bulldogs led the contest 9-5.

Nevada added two runs in the eighth inning to come closer to the Bulldogs. In the bottom half of the frame, Fresno State designated hitter Taylor Ward doubled to left-center field, scoring Taylor Woodward.

The win capped off a Fresno State sweep of the Wolf Pack in a rematch of the 2013 Mountain

West Tournament matchup.

On Friday, Jordan Brink’s -hit performance in 8 1/3 innings led Fresno State to a 4-1 victory. Ward went 1 for 2 and had 2 RBIs. On Saturday, Jimmy Lambert started his second collegiate game and earned a no decision when he left the game tied in the fourth inning. Fresno State first baseman Kevin Viers broke the 3-3 tie in the seventh inning with a RBI single that scored Taylor Tempel.

The Bulldogs will remain at home and host the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners on Wednesday.
