Power outage affects winter intersession

By Christina Napier The Collegian For 72 hours during the winter recess, the entire Fresno State campus, except for the Save Mart Center, was without power, which shut down the campus and disrupted winter intersession classes.

The power went out at 2 a.m. on December 30 when the main breaker for the campus burned and then broke when it was hit by a power surge.

“Something occurred from the provider of the equation, if you will. There was a surge empower, but it’s not really one thing that can be preventative or not,” said Bob Boyd, the associate vice president for facilities management. “In other words we had fluctuating voltage that caused damage to our very old distribution system.”

“This was a real potential disaster, and if this would’ve happened today, you could see the upset that would’ve caused,” Boyd said. “So if it had to happen on New Years’ Eve that was probably one of the better times to happen.”

Candice Skrapec, professor of criminology, said she was notified that Sunday, Dec. 30 about the outage and that winter intersession classes would not have power by the next day. However, limited facilities were made available in the Save Mart Center. By New Year’s Day classrooms were found for everyone.

“On the one hand, it was a bit unsettling, but I have to say how they managed to basically have things ready to go with what I needed was truly commendable,” Skrapec said.

“And I can be pretty critical, so this was very impressive.”

Welty’s final address focuses on future

By Haley Lambert The Collegian On Monday, Fresno State President John D. Welty gave a speech at the 2013 Faculty Assembly. Presumably, this was his last official speech, as he is slated to vacate the position by the end of this, the Spring 2013 semester.

Welty focused on the effects of Proposition 30, speaking specifically of Governor Brown’s ef for ts to expand priority for higher education within the state budget. Welty noted the fact that $ 125 million have been added to the Califor nia State University General Fund.

Welty, in his talk, also included Fresno State’s increasing appeal among prospective college students.

“It is clear that students want a higher education and they want to come to Fresno Sate,” Welty said.

Cal State Online expands education options

By Zack Edwards The Collegian Fresno State plans to add two online degree options to its catalog in the near future as part of the new Cal State Online program.

T he two new pro g rams will be a certificate in homeland security and a Master of Business Administration.

Access has become the mission and focus of the California State University system, said Lynnette Zelezny, associate

Instead of attending campus classes, students can now earn their Master of Business Administration degree online through the Cal State Online program.

provost and associate vice president of Continuing and Global Education. As a response to a recent push from Gov. Jerry Brown, this new direction has taken the form of more online degree programs.

S c o t t M o o re, a s s o c i at e dean of the Continuing and Global Education Division, said that Cal State Online is the California State University system’s attempt to get more students to think about staying in state when looking into online education and to inform them that online programs are available in California.

“Their purpose is to take a look at very successful online prog rams, such as Arizona State, Penn State and University of Maryland, College Park, that have these national and inter national online pro g rams that are attracting lots of California students,” Moore said.

While the purpose of Cal

State Online is to compete with the online programs of other universities, it is also an attempt to reach out to students who have had to drop out of the university for any number of reasons. This portion of Cal State Online is called the Reconnect Program, Zelezny said.

“This is to reach out to t h o s e s t u d e n t s wh o h ave entered the CSU or other public universities and accrued a certain number of units, but they were never able to complete their degree,” Zelezny said. “The Reconnect Program is supposed to be offering them degree options so that they can use those units to earn a bachelor’s degree in a generalized study area.”

Moore said that Cal State Online is not a new campus.

Former Fresno State professor leaves legacy

By Roe Borunda The Collegian

Behind a Filipino restaurant in Glendale exists a small guarded building. The area looks abandoned and not maintained.

A bedspring rests on a rusted chain-linked fence that leads the eye to a small building.

The building, after it was reconstructed into an art studio, now houses the studio of a modest artist who has made a career in both art and educating students about the impor-

tance of art.

C h a rl e s G a i n e s, 6 3 , a n instructor working at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), had once left his mark at Fresno State.

But before Gaines took the position at one of the leading art schools in the nation, he began in a place he never thought he would see himself.

Gaines attended the University of Rochester, and then taught at the campus of Mississippi Valley State for six months.

Gaines soon felt Mississippi

was not where he wanted to stay and decided to leave over the turmoil of the civil rights movement. “ I s aw m y s t u d e n t s i n Mississippi get shot at right in front of me,” Gaines said.

“I started to apply to other schools, and Fresno State was one of them.”

While sending applications, Fresno State offered Gaines the opportunity to teach art. It was at Fresno when he began to venture into new ideas that benefited from his approach that he takes in art.

“I started a course in the art department called, ‘Content and Form,’ for the undergraduate program,” Gaines said. “It was based on trying to put into play some of the things that I was doing in my own practice, but bringing them into the classroom.”

Content and For m was a class that was and currently is still taught in the undergraduate program in the art department.

The class is taught to inform students about theoretical approaches, in relation, to the

students’ artwork.

The class has been the only theory course in the department since Gaines implemented it during his teaching at Fresno State.

“I wanted them [students] to generate art from a new perspective,” Gaines said. “It was something that I designed out of my own interest, and, it was a class that was very experimental because there wasn’t anything like it.”

This, however satirical as it is, is not flawed reasoning. Many people think that outlawing guns will prevent crimes from happening.

My response is simple.

Since when has a criminal ever followed the law? Narcotics are illegal, yet they still endlessly impact our society.

Famed writer Louis L’Amour wrote, “When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns.”

These are profound words, even coming from a fiction novelist. So who is to blame for these horrible acts, both present and past?

I would be willing to bet that the neurological system of the perpetrator was less than perfect. Odds are he was developmentally challenged. It simply took the right environmental factor to set off this perfect storm.

Rather than jumping on the vengeance bandwagon or the anti-gun bandwagon, stop to get educated before making your decisions.

I have already stated that I am no expert in this realm. However, I have personally seen the research and publications.

I do not know if many people will read this, but if it can effect just one person, my purpose for writing this is achieved.

Just days ago, the Web was abuzz about the uniqueness of Dec. 14. This tragedy shows us that every day is a unique and special gift.

These children were gifts to the world who were taken from it too soon.

One of these children may have been a presiden and one a great military leader.

One of these children may have even found the cure for cancer or criminality. One child could have impacted thousands.

As the sun is setting on this tragic day, our hearts and prayers go out to those affected by this tragedy.

Remember how precious life is.

In his final official address, President John D. Welty notes the construction of the new Rue and Gwen Gibson Farm Market building as one of the many infrastructure improvements currently underway at Fresno State.

WELTY: Speech looks toward future CONTINUED from page 1 We l t y s p o k e f u r t h e r about Fresno State’s recently accrued reputation for furthering the education of underrepresented people. According to his speech, the university has prioritized recruiting for diversity. This includes faculty and staff recruitment, as well as student recruitment.

Though not in attendance at the faculty assembly, Associated Students Inc. president Arthur Montejano, is a member of the Advisory Committee for the Selection of the President. As a student government officer, Montejano worked with Welty throughout the last semester.

“Dr. Welty’s legacy here will be the impact that the university has had on first generation and underrepresented populations,” Montejano said.

“Fresno State has developed a reputation as the place for those people to go if they want to be successful.”

Welty thanked the Faculty Affairs Diversity Team for its efforts in extending job offers to ethnically diverse candidates.

These potential hires are part of the 55 new faculty positions slated to be filled by the fall 2013 semester.

Throughout his speech, Welty spoke of the various infrastructurew improvements on campus. Two such projects are nearing completion.

These are the 4,800 squarefoot Rue and Gwen Gibson Farm Market, and the Foster Farms Poultry Education and Research Facility.

Nearing the end of his speech, Welty spoke of pride in both the faculty and the students. He described his final months at Fresno State

as a time in which he will be focused on the positive effects of this university.

“As I move into my final months, I have a heightened appreciation for this university’s impact on students, as well as faculty and staff and our region,” Welty said.

Honora Chapman — professor of Classics and Humanities, and director of the Smittcamp Family Honors College — attended Monday’s assembly.

“At the president’s speech it felt like people could breathe deeply with hope for better things to come in the near future, and that we’ve really come through the worst of it,” Chapman said.

C

the theatre art department said the experience was rather fun.

“I got to see one of my students as he practiced with the basketball team,” Dion said.

“The SMC staff were at the door with a smile and helping us find our classrooms and all.

I walked in with some trepidation, but immediately felt like a lot of people were pulling together to get things on track.”

Power is distributed to campus by PG&E down Barstow Avenue from the Bullard substation. It brings 1,200 volts and goes into the distribution substation here on campus and then distributed from there.

The power at the Save Mart Center was not affected since it receives power from the Clovis substation.

“We found it was the main breaker, and they don’t sell these at Home Depot,” Boyd said. “They’re the size of half a Volkswagen. They weigh 2,000 pounds, and so we were then able to find one in Texas, and they were able to ship it out via jet, fly it out here and it actu-

ally fit.”

During the 72 hours the campus was down, plant operations had 40-plus people here on and off dealing with the outage, trying to accommodate instruments that needed constant power as well as the animals on campus.

Boyd has worked at Fresno State for more than 34 years and said he has never seen a main breaker or something like it go out.

“We’ve had outages before, but we’ve never lost the entire campus for 72 hours,” Boyd said. The problem is the age of the units and the availability of repair parts that are our biggest challenge. If we hadn’t found the one [breaker] in Texas, we’re down until you find one.”

A lot of the equipment has a lifespan of say 20 years and it’s been in there 40-plus years, said Jeff Prickett, plant operations electrician.

“It’s inevitable now we’re at the end of the life of this equipment and that’s the key thing, to try and replace it,” Body said.

Associated Student, Inc. petitions available for 2013 Petitions for candidates seeking officer or senator seats with the Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) are now available in the student involvement office located in the University Student Union, room 306.

Petitions must be completed and turned in by Feb. 13.

All ASI positions will be up for election, including the four executive officers -president, vice president for external affairs, vice presi-

dent of finance and executive vice president -- and 15 senatorial seats. Eight senators represent the eight colleges that make up Fresno State. The other seven senators serve at-large.

While the student body elects the at-large senators, the executive vice president assigns them to specific posts, including academic affairs; athletics and recreational affairs; clubs and organizations; Greek life; parking and safety; resident

affairs; and student affairs.

Rebecca Rosengarten, current vice president of finance, explained that those seeking nomination for ASI posts must collect 75 student signatures on their petitions. For candidates who wish to represent a specific college, the signatures must come from students majoring within that college. Students from any college may sign for at-large candidates.

GAINES: Class leaves impact on campus art curriculum CONTINUED from page 1 Fresno State dealt with his own interests that allowed him to experiment with new ideas.

“The class was more like a seminar class because we would work on ideas that really didn’t have a form or really didn’t have a tradition yet,” Gaines said.

Gaines said he was impressed, yet not surprised, that the students participated in this general experimentation of art production. “ D u r i n g t h o s e ye a r s at Fresno State, it was rather an exciting place to be,” Gaines said. “The art program had a very exciting faculty.”

Gaines described the course as typical to other courses being taught during the early 1970s, and that the course had no structured framework. “ Yo u c o u l d n ’ t m e a s u r e where you were going to be at

the end of the class,” Gaines said. “For that reason, it was a tough class to teach because it confused people and there was a lot of reading.”

Gaines’ idea of reading, in relation to an art practice, was new and was commonly misunderstood, he said.

“You had to convince student that it was hard to understand and that it was all worth it—to hope that they would be compelled by the ideas themselves,” Gaines said.

Gaines saw that many of his students were a bit older than incoming students from high school.

Some were veterans of the Vietnam War, many of whom just returned trying to find ways to avoid becoming reenlisted.

“The war mentality made people more sensitive, more aware of the political world around them and made the

environment on campus pretty interesting to work in,” Gaines said.

Gaines started his teaching career at Fresno State at 23, and experienced what he called a tumultuous time to enjoy.

Gaines recalled that Fresno State was going through changes during the early ’70s, and it made for a dynamic place to be.

“There were lots of demonstrations on campus,” Gaines said. “The FBI setup observational posts so that they could watch dissonant students.”

Gaines had witnessed what was transpiring on campus, and wanted to find ways to bring it all together, so it could be focused on in his classroom.

“When we talked about ideas in the class, it really was quite resident, because it was a time where people thought deeply about what was going on in the world politically,” Gaines said.

Not long after he implemented the underg raduate course for Fresno State students, Gaines was offered a job to teach at CalArts in Valencia.

“The framework of the art school was very close to the way I thought about art and the way I taught art,” Gaines said.

Gaines said there was a variety of content and form course at CalArts, whereas Fresno State only had one.

“It would be natural in the way that I approach art because it was such a natural

environment,” Gaines said.

“Many of the teachers who were there and who helped start the school were among the first generation of conceptual artists in the art world.”

Gaines said he noticed when he started at CalArts that the teaching strategies were very similar to how he taught his course and he saw how a class that taught ideas affected the entire curriculum.

“I always thought, way before I had any idea of moving to Fresno, that CalArts would probably be the ideal place for me to teach,” Gaines said.

Gaines continued to teach theory courses that related to

what was going on politically and socially in the world.

“There was a real need for the introduction of political discourse and race discourse,” Gaines said. “I like to make the course related to what is going on in the world.”

Gaines had helped create three courses at CalArts during the time the school was beginning to reconstruct, moving away from its liberal tendencies, and embracing a more disciplined approach for higher education.

ART: Encouraging students to explore new artistic fields CONTINUED from page 4 school that exists where there was just more of a competitive approach between students,” Gaines said.

Fresno State students have viewed Gaines as being among the first to introduce conceptual ideas into the Fresno State art department, said William Raines, an instructor at Fresno State and a former student of Gaines.

Gaines’ approach to teaching new courses was to work in an environment where students were able to speak about the art that they were making,” Raines said.

Aside from Gaines’ success as an instructor, he invites students to challenge what they know to learn more. He had his own art, which helped attribute to his success.

In later years, the popularity of Gaines’ artwork began to spread.

— Charles Gaines, Instructor at CalArts away in the ’80s suddenly is all gone and now sold.”

“Now, they are fighting each other for it,” Gaines said.

In the early 1980s, Gaines said there was a time when he continued to produce artwork, but within a 15-year span, not a single piece of his received notice.

Interest in Gaines’ artwork was revived in 2004. Suddenly, work he could not give away was in high demand.

“I tell students not to take the career part of art so seriously because if you try to chase a career you are going to drive yourself nuts,” Gaines said.

Gaines said he understands that taking on a theory course cannot impact an artist as much as if a student took multiple courses.

“It is important, in respects to the liberal arts side, to have a liberal education,” Gaines said. “One should study the history of ideas of the world.”

Gaines wanted students to experience and understand the ideas and relations to art

through new ideas in order to make art, Raines said.

Gaines said he realized that Fresno was not an art center, and in terms of an artist, he needed to move somewhere else.

While he was teaching at Fresno State, he said the environment of the college was what made some of his most memorable years.

“It was a terrific art department,” Gaines said. “It was an environment that encouraged experimentation and exploration.”

When Gaines left Fresno State, he said was ready for more to happen in his pursuit to become the international

artist he has now become.

“People have different ideas of how they want to live their lives with an art degree, and to get a degree in art doesn’t mean you have to become a famous artist,” Gaines said.

But, Gaines believes, aspiring artists, whether they live in Fresno or Los Angeles, can become a recognized artist if they stay persistent.

“It has to do with what a person wants to do,” Gaines said.

“In practice, Coach always tells me I need to grow up and I need to be more aggressive on offense. Today, I just had that in my mind all game long, so I feel

like that helped.”

At halftime, Fresno State led 26-16. The lead would peak as high as 41-21 with 8:59 to play.

And exactly how shuffled were the Bulldogs’ minutes against Wyoming?

Consider: •Kevin Olekaibe, who started in all of last year’s and this year’s games, played 11 minutes off the bench.

•Freshman center Robert Upshaw, who started the game before against New Mexico, did not play at all.

•F reshman Marvelle Harris made his second consecutive star t as a guard and Aaron Anderson made his fifth start at the point.

Against the Cowboys, just three players came off the bench, with Giddings leading the way with 23 minutes.

“We shortened the bench based on some guys’ maturity issues,” Terry said. “We’re going to go with guys that understand the urgency right now in this time of year. In conference play, you have to bring it everyday.

“You can’t just expect it on game day and think it’s just going to happen for you – it doesn’t happen that way.”

Leonard Washington, the Cowboys’ leading scorer heading into the game, was held to only six points. It also didn’t help that Wyoming was without Luke Martinez, its secondleading scorer, who was suspended from the team indefinitely on Monday.

Larry Nance Jr. and Riley Grabau led the Cowboys in scoring with 10 points apiece.

Fresno State finished the night 0-for-6 behind the arc – making it the first time since Dec. 2, 1995 (554 games) that Fresno State did not convert a 3-pointer.

Program ushers in 2013 as host to Daye’s alma mater For Coach Daye, Fresno State’s first home competition comes against a familiar face.

The Bulldogs host Georgia, where Daye rode collegiately, on Jan. 26 at the Student Horse Center.

As a (Georgia) Bulldog, Daye was part of a team that captured the overall team national championship in 2003. She was part of the Georgia coaching staff for two seasons, as well.

“They’re probably one of the best teams in the country. That’s going to be a really important one to have a good showing at,” Daye said.

“I’m super excited about it. I

adore Georgia, and I get along really well with the coaches – all of that sort of stuff. So it’ll be a lot of fun one way or the other. But I also know what kinds of riders come from there.

“We do well against Georgia; we do well against anybody, that’s for sure.”

Home field advantage?

In this part of the season, Fresno State will play host to other competition for the first time in the season – having traveled to Texas for shows against Southern Methodist, Baylor and Texas A & M. But with that “home-field advantage” comes extensive planning and preparation for a competition.

“It’s a lot easier to go visit (for a competition), because you just show up and get a list of horses and get on,” Daye

said.

“From a coaching standpoint, it’s a lot easier for me to go somewhere.”

Familiarity with the horses that riders practice with throughout the entire season, though, is the main advantage of staying at home.

“I think that’s probably the biggest piece,” Daye said. “We do know these horses. Having a little bit more familiarity can really make a difference.

“It’s going to be busy. Horse shows are hard to put on.

They’re a lot of work on the girls. But I think it’ll be nice to be at home. We’ve got some really tough competition coming here, so we’re going to have to bring our A-game for sure.”

Strides made during scrimmage First-year coach says team has balance in all four events

By Ricardo Cano The Collegian For the Fresno State equestrian team, 2012 was, arguably, only a small tease for 2013 – when the team will be competing through the end of March in preparation for the NCEA championships.

A n o t h e r s n e a k p rev i ew came during the Bulldogs’ Jan. 12 interscrimmage, their second of the season. Fresno State also held one on Oct. 27.

R i d e r s i n We s t e r n a n d English events have made equal improvements, first-year coach Collins Daye said.

“I think everybody’s doing pretty well across the board,” Daye said. “There’s not any one area where we’re a lot stronger

than the other. I think we’re pretty even across the board.

“I think the biggest difference is we know the horses a little bit more. This is my second time having a competition here. So (they’re) learning how I run my horse shows, which is a little different than they’ve done it in the past.

“We’ve definitely improved on the timing, the organization. I think all of the girls have gotten stronger and deeper in their riding. I’ve seen a big difference in (them) especially the freshmen.

Crivelli rising to top in horsemanship Junior western rider Lauren Crivelli established herself

among the best in the nation in horsemanship in the first part of the season.

Crivelli, a Visalia native, made it to the final round of the inaugural American Quarter Horse Association Collegiate Horsemanship Challenge.

The competition featured 16 of the top collegiate horsemanship riders in the country.

Crivelli finished in the top four.

Fresno State faced winner Carey Nowacek and Texas A&M on Nov. 12 in a 17-6 loss.

Crivelli earned both her points in reigning and horsemanship, scoring a competition-best 74.5 in the latter event.

In her sophomore year, Crivelli won 10 of her 13 horseSee SCRIMMAGE, Page 7

’Dogs enter 3-game home stretch to begin new spring season Fresno State, which competed in three invitational meets and par ticipated in the Intercolle giate Tennis Association Northwest Regional in the fall, will play in its first competition this weekend since early November when it hosts Saint Mary’s (Fri.), and Cal Poly and UC Riverside (Sun.) at the Spalding G. Wathen Tennis Center.

This three-game home stretch also marks the first time the Bulldogs will be competing at home this season under first-year coach Evan Austin.

“I’m just excited to be playing some matches,” Austin said. “The first few weeks we’re going to be trying some different doubles pairings, just kind of seeing where guys fit in the lineup. It’s a really exciting time of the year for us to see what guys did over the break and what our new guys are going to bring.”

Austin, heir to a three-man roster when he was hired by Fresno State in August, has gradually doubled the roster size heading into the spring season.

Sam MacNeil, a junior from Scotland, joined the Bulldogs during the fall season.

Nikolas Papic and Felipe Fritz, both from Santiago, Chile, joined the roster after the fall season.

“ O bv i o u s l y, t h e y b r i n g us some depth that we need because we were a little short on players in the fall,” Austin said.

“They’re both really experienced guys. They have a lot of international and junior experience and also some men’s circuit stuff, and they’ve had some good success in both singles and doubles.”

On Jan. 25, the Bulldogs travel to Los Angeles to compete in the ITA Kick Off, a weekendlong event.

Fresno State opens Mountain West Conference play on Feb. 8, when it hosts San Diego State.

“Our expectation is to come out and play hard this weekend, but we also know it’s a long process,” Austin said.

“It’s all about improving and really playing your best tennis come conference season later in the year.

“We’re patient. We know it’s a long season. We’re just looking to get better with each match.”

As the head coach of Drake University (Iowa), Austin’s teams compiled a 45-6 record in the two years prior to him coming to Fresno State.

Shuffled lineup trumps Wyoming for 1st MWC victory

Sophomore Reid deLaubenfels prepares for a serve during a team practice.

The different rotations and starting lineups (eight, to be exact) Fresno State has experimented with could indicate that the perfect formula has yet to be found.

Some of that has been due to injuries; Fresno State was missing two of its veteran starters at New Mexico. But the end result against Wyoming on Wednesday night at the Save Mart Center?

A winning formula.

Tyler Johnson retur ned from injury, Kevin Foster was back in the mix and key contributions from freshman Tanner Giddings – a four-game starter during non-conference play – off the bench helped launch the Bulldogs past Wyoming 46-39 for their first Mountain West Conference win.

“This win tonight is a byproduct of what we do every day,” coach Rodney Terry said.

“We pride ourselves on playing really hard, guarding hard.

It’s a byproduct of what we do every day and every single pos-

session.

Johnson scored a g amehigh 18, Giddings scored a career-best 10 and Jerry Brown contributed six points, three assists (all three passes were to Giddings), three blocks and four steals against a Wyoming (14-2, 1-2 MWC) squad that overall shot porously: 12-of-50, 24 percent, from the field.

Both Foster and Johnson were perfect from the free throw line (4-of-4 and 6-of-6, respectively).
