Fresno State’s Student Health Center sent out an email to students and faculty on Wednesday, which urged precautions in order to prevent spreading the latest influenza virus.

“The Student Health Center is taking a proactive approach toward prevention by reminding students, staff and faculty that there are ways to avoid getting the flu,” said Catherine Felix, in the center’s director.

Prevention includes receiving the vaccination, hand washing and covering sneezes or coughs, she added.

One of the most accessible forms of prevention is hand washing, which, it is suggested, is effective if done for 20 or more seconds.

In the event that soap and water are inaccessible, use hand sanitizer.

Felix said that 1,700 doses of vaccination were adminSee FLU, Page 3

W EB-SPE@K NO PLACE FOR KIDS Movie-going, child-toting parents lack common sense



Culled each week from discussions on The Collegian’s website.

Opinion Editor Liana Whitehead

Imagine this: You are seated in a dimly lit movie theater with your best bud.

A ruby red slushy chills in one hand and a never-ending bucket of salty, buttered popcorn rests in your lap (or cinnamon pretzel in my case). A $30 value, easily.

As the previews play, laughter and bits of conversation are heard.

Someone is courageously guessing at cheesy film trivia as others shuffle for open seats in awkward aisles, slowed by rows of seated knees and sticky floors.

As the preshow promos come to an end, the lights fade to a relaxing level of darkness and the crowd simmers (with the exception of a few — you know the ones).

The big screen flashes two or three “shush” ads, and depending on the film’s production company, a roaring lion or majestic snowcapped mountain fades in and out.

The movie begins.

My guess is that most of us, if not all, have had a similar experi-

ence with slight changes in details.

Movie-going is a rare but comforting past time for myself — until last Saturday evening.

The word that best describes my experience at Tulare’s Galaxy theater is humiliating. If I were to choose a second word, it would be infuriating As we (my friend, her husband and myself) sat down to watch “A Haunted House” — the new satirical horror film starring Marlon Wayans — I was appalled at my surroundings.

Not only was this film rated R (it was more X-rated, if anything), but parents, grandparents and children were viewing this movie together.

As families. As if Grandma and Grandpa woke up that morning itching to shed the innocence of their 10-year-old grandson.

Every time Wayans pretended to have sexual intercourse with a stuffed animal, I heard the giggling of children — small children. Under the age of 13, I would guess.

The raunchiness only escalated.

Scene after sex scene, the giggling returned. I was mortified and I am a 25-year-old adult. I covered my eyes and ears for more than half of the film, missing half of what I paid for (keep in mind I hadn’t seen a single commercial for this film, leaving me completely clueless of its content).

In a scene that ran after the film’s end credits, Wayans, once again, engaged in some on-screen debauchery — with a “ghost” — while a set of grandparents allowed their young grandson to watch. At this point, I became disgusted and brash-

ly brushed them on my way out.

Maybe I am overreacting. And maybe parents and grandparents have every right to subject young minds to mature film content, even at 10 years old. And maybe I am oversensitive and was simply raised differently.

But I’m not, and they don’t and I am proud of my tact and taste. It is hard to believe that nobody beside myself and my friends felt embarrassed or ashamed of watching the film in the presence of young minds.

What were these adults thinking?

Did they truly believe that their adolescents and preteens were mentally and emotionally prepared for such raunchy sexual material? Were they hoping that Tulare’s Galaxy theater would take charge of raising their children? Or did they simply not think of their child’s at all?

Or worse — have their children already been subjected to such foul films and this was merely another family outing?

Response:

‘Did we lose a future president?’

Amanda: “Are you serious? Spoons are like guns? Spoons are designed to feed. Guns are designed to kill. One of these objects is nurturing and the other is violent. I’d call that a fundamental flaw in the analogy. Your reasoning is that people who want to kill people are still going to kill people so we should not try to stop them by taking away things that facilitate the killing of lots of people very quickly? What?

How does that even make sense?

“I would be willing to bet that the neurological system of the perpetrator was less than perfect.

Odds are he was developmentally challenged.”

Excuse me? You would be willing to bet?

Speculating on people’s mental health is probably not the most ethical practice. Besides, even if he was not neurotypical (which there is NO solid evidence of), so what? There are loads of “mentally ill” people who don’t go on killing sprees. How about let’s not treat people with mental disorders as criminals out of hand?

This is just an excuse to avoid the real issues at stake. It does absolutely nothing to address why this tragedy happened.

It doesn’t sound like you’ve done very much research. I don’t see any solid statistics. Sure, a few quasi-insightful quotes, but really? That’s it? I mean, what’s the point? You say you want to remind people how precious life is. I think most of us are aware. Most of us are not killers. You’re really using this tragedy to spew some trite anti-gun control b.s. and that’s just pathetic.”

Response: ‘Did we lose a future president?’

Sam: “That was a terrible tragedy. The fact is, if there were no guns, then there would be no shootings. Perpetrators would resolve to other weapons and they probably wouldn’t be as fatal as bullets. It may not be the solution to ban guns, but society is pure rotten when it breeds these crazy people, so something has to be done.”

Response: ‘Student sues Fresno State faculty’ Eric: “The Armstrong and Getty radio show interviewed Mr. O’Brien this morning (Jan. 9). I heard the quote from the school paper was “Americans are white savages” and the police were called as if Mr. O’Brien violated some law. He says he was just asking questions, but he failed to mention that he was interrupting another student conference. I think more of the details will need to be reviewed.”

FLU: Vaccines no longer available CONTINUED from page 1 istered this past fall semester.

While the Health Center has since run out of the vaccine, web links to Fresno County immunization clinics were included in the email.

It is not too late if you want to get vaccinated, Felix said along with the reminder that the human body takes approximately two weeks to develop an immune response after receiving the vaccine.

“Vitamins can help keep you healthy,” Felix said, but does not recommend it as the only way to prevent coming down with the common cold or flu.

Have you gotten your flu shot?

Let us know in our online poll: collegian.csufresno.edu able on the Health Center website, www.fresnostate.edu/ health. The link gives access to a chart that can help determine the illness and give advice on how to treat it. There is also a self-care station in the center’s lobby, where visitors can pick up information sheets on different ways to care for themselves in the event that they or a friend have a cold or flu.

In the email, Felix suggested that sick individuals stay home, stay in contact with

their employers and professors so they will not fall too far behind in classes. Also suggested is appointing a “flu buddy.”

This means asking a healthy friend to be available to check up on the ill person regularly and bring necessities such as food and medicines.

“For students, you can ask your flu buddy to pick up a free flu kit at the Student Health Center that contains an oral thermometer, cough drops and starter kit for over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen,” the email read.

Acetaminophen, found in over-the-counter medications, helps reduce fever and relieves pain, according to WebMD. com, the popular medical website that Felix referred to in the e-mail.

Intake of acetaminophen should be monitored, the website warns, as it is easy to accidentally overdose or cause severe liver injury.

The Student Health Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., with the exception of Wednesday, when the center opens at 9 a.m.

If the center is closed, an after hours advice nurse is available by calling 559-278-2734.

If you notice a worsening of cold or flu symptoms after three or four days, it is highly recommended to seek medical attention to avoid further health complications.

Peña, 57, is Parlier native who graduated from Fresno State with a bachelor of arts in political science in 1977. He graduated from UCLA School of Law in 1980.

Peña was appointed to serve on the Court of Appeal by Gov. Jerry Brown last month and begins his new appellate position immediately.

Judge Peña first worked with the Califor nia Fifth District Court of Appeals as an attorney from 1984 until his 2002 appointment to the Fresno County Superior Court by then-Gov. Gray Davis.

While at Fresno State Peña was actively involved in the campus community. He cofounded the Chicanos in Law student organization, danced with Los Danzantes de Aztlán, was a member of MEChA and volunteered with the United Farm Workers union.

Peña was a member of Pi Gamma Mu, the College of Social Sciences honor society, and was a participant in the first Chicano Commencement Celebration in 1977 held at the Fresno Fairgrounds.

The guest speaker at that first Chicano Commencement was the Hon. Armando Rodriguez who helped open the judicial doors for many other Latinos Rodriguez was among the supporters who attended the hearing to witness what he called a historic moment.

“I am obviously overjoyed

to see this historic moment happen today and with a fellow Fresno State alum," said Rodriguez, a 1959 graduate of Fresno State who practiced law in Fresno before becoming the first Latino elected to the Fresno County Board of Supervisors of Fresno County in 1972.

“It has been a long time coming with many people working very hard to get the opportunity for Latino justices in California. There is now at least one in all six appellate districts,” Judge Rodriguez added.

Justice Peña fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Associate Justice Betty L. Dawson. Also sworn-in as associate justices today were Judge Adrienne M. Grover, Sixth Appellate District (San Jose), and Mr. James M. Humes, First Appellate District, Division Four (San Francisco).

The newly appointed Associated Students, Inc. Senator for the College of Health and Human Services Emily Bosh has worked in other campus organizations such as Vintage Days.

PLANS: New senator looks forward to leadership role CONTINUED from page 1 campus involvement pushed her to join as many clubs and groups as possible when she came to Fresno. She quickly took on leadership roles and became president of the Recreation Association and a coordinator for Vintage Days.

After this she decided to apply for the senator position.

While her term is only for the length of this semester, Bosh said she looks forward to making a difference on campus, representing students and growing as a leader.

“She seems like a very outgoing, hard-working and ambitious young woman who loves to be involved on campus,” said Rebecca Rosengarten, ASI vice president of finances.

Along with event information and Bosh’s appointment,

the ASI budget was discussed.

There was a change made in the activity grant funding policies for club sports. The policy adjustment will include funding for athletic trainers and money provided every three years for new, non-personalized team uniforms.

ASI will vote on this specific matter at the next senate meeting, Rosengarten said.

The student government organization’s overall budget of $618,900 comes from student fees. This includes a line item of $15,000 dedicated to new programs. Due to the creation of three new programs, the line item budget has been reduced to $11,000.

“Officers and the senate are trying to give back to the student body in ways that they can take advantage of and benefit from,” Rosengarten added.

ELECT: Club plans to boost presence through fundraising CONTINUED from page 1 doing things on campus,” Hinkle said. “Hopefully just spreading the word of mouth.

That I think is the best way.”

Hinkle knows there are high standards for her first semester in charge, but she feels that she can help the club grow.

“I know last semester they had really low attendance,” she said, “so that’s one of my big things. I want to get people

coming to our meetings so they know that we’re doing stuff.”

The club’s calendar is a work in progress, but they have plans for a conservative book drive, debates, guest speakers, and a trip to Berkeley for a College Republicans convention.

T h e n e x t F re s n o S t at e College Republicans meeting is on Feb. 5 at 5:30 in room 309 of the University Student Union.

Jennifer Lombardi's Four Tips for Freshmen to Avoid an Eating Disorder Don't fret: There is plenty of evidence that “freshmen 15,” the belief that students gain 15 pounds after joining college, is a myth.

Focus on building a schedule that supports a health lifestyle.

When trying to lose weight, find an activity that you love and stick with it, and not an activity you have to do.

Social media sites do not replace real relationships. Don’t let social media become your only outlet to the outside world.

bingeing and purging in order to maintain a more desirable weight.

Lombardi believes that there should be a shift in education to offer instructional classes in high school that take a closer look at college readiness levels.

Another method is involving parents, and asking them to think about their child’s readiness level.

New college students are sometimes ill prepared for the immense life changes brought about by college. With their life in flux, some may latch onto anything stable, even if it’s harmful.

“They’re living away from the home for the first time,” Lombardi said. “They’re in a different environment with new people and struggling with trying to find structure with their schedule and feeling comfortable. An eating disorder, in some ways, can feel like the most constant thing that they have in their life.

“In some ways it can become the one thing they can fixate on.”

Untreated eating disorders can strengthen over time and, if left alone, there can be tragic consequences.

“Eating disorders unfortunately have the highest mortality rates of any mental illness,” Lombardi said. “Upwards of 10 percent of people die.”

The statistics of mortality rate of eating disorders varies among groups, due to the fact that the deaths are not reported as caused by malnutrition, Lombardi said.

In many cases, the cause of death from an eating disorder is due to heart or organ failure.

Tikesha Leslie-Jones, postdoctoral fellow at the Student Health Center at Fresno State, believes it is the students’ attitudes that can influence a mental disorder.

“Some students that go to universities have perfectionistic attitudes and that, together with the pressures of trying to achieve academically, can sometimes lead students that have compulsive addictive behavior that, those who suffer from this illness, use as a coping mechanism for that stress,” Leslie-Jones said.

Students leaving home will also be faced with having to provide for themselves. This freedom to eat can become dangerous if it isn’t controlled. Not shockingly, Ramen for three meals a day is not healthy.

“For college students, this is the first time they have control of what they eat and how much

they eat,” she said. “It doesn’t always start as an eating disorder, but it can start as disordered eating: eating bad food infrequently, eating bad food a lot, not eating, forgetting to eat.

Disordered eating can show up in a variety of ways.”

Recently, Leslie-Jones has noticed that some of her patients fell into an eating disorder after an illness, which should cause concern with the current uprising of the flu.

The flu can suppress appetites, and the student falls into that routine of eating less and less. Soon the student begins to lose weight, and it becomes a full-fledged eating disorder.

Facebook and other social

media sites are another factor in the way students perceive themselves and others, LeslieJones said.

“Social media does play a role in your perception of what is beautiful and what is acceptable, and it can feed into an eating disorder,” she said. “You get reinforced when you lose weight. Nobody says, ‘Oh, you gained 20 pounds.’ No one gets excited about that.”

Wi t h i n t h e m o n t h , t h e Student Health Center will begin a new group therapy session created by Leslie-Jones, tentatively titled the Eating Disorders Support Group.

Leslie-Jones said that though sessions haven’t begun, students who believe they are suffering from an eating disorder, or any other disorder, shouldn’t hesitate to visit the health center.

“Students are under a lot of distress when they walk in these doors for any disorder, but I don’t want people to wait too long,” she said. “There’s support here. There’s help here, even for those who are recovering and need assistance, and we’re here for that as well.”

Wine and grape symposium includes reunion of Fresno State alumni via University Communications Fresno State’s viticulture and enology programs will be represented at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium Jan. 29-31 in Sacramento.

Service fair broadens students’ horizons

By Jeff Smith The Collegian Community organizations have reached out to Fresno State students so they can reach out to the community.

Fresno State held a Community Service Oppor tunities Fair in the Satellite Student Union on Wednesday. About 58 community agencies from the Fresno area came to give students infor mation about possible inter nships and volunteer opportunities.

The community service fair is held once a semester to help students find organizations to broaden their horizons or complete class requirements as well as help the community.

Renee Delport, the special events and project coordinator for the event, feels the fair is “a nice catalyst to spur students along to internships and volunteering.”

More than 150 classes on campus require that students fulfill an amount of community service hours, Delport said.

Anya Goosev and Sandra Santiago-Pinheiro, representatives from the American Red Cross, were at the booth with information on what they were looking for.

Guest speaker shares Armenian culture research Via Barlow Der Mugrdechian Ronald Marchese will discuss his recent research in Constantinople/ Istanbul with a talk on “Treasures of Faith: Sacred Objects from the Armenian Churches of Constantinople a n d W h a t T h e y Te l l U s A b o u t Armenian Society and Culture” at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

The Leon S. Peters Foundation Lecture will be held in the University Business Center’s Alice Peters Auditorium, Room 191, at Fresno State.

It is part of the Ar menian Studies Program Spring 2013 Lecture Series.

The lecture is funded in part by the Associated Students Inc. at Fresno State.

Marchese is professor of ancient history and archaeology at the University of Minnesota Duluth and has spent the last several years documenting the cultural history of the Armenians in

Constantinople by studying the works of art of the Armenians. He will accompany his talk with slides of some of the artwork that he cataloged.

Over the course of hundreds of years, Armenian society and culture developed in Constantinople after the founding of the Armenian patriarchate in the city in 1461. Although a traditional date, a substantial number of Armenians from eastern Anatolia evidently established themselves in the city long before this date.

Most went unnoticed in the pages of history due to the fact that they were absorbed within Byzantine material and political culture. They became “Byzantine” in nature. After the mid15th century and the establishment of their own patriarchate and “patrik,” this “invisibility” disappears.

Encouraged to immigrate “to the city” (to istan-polis), the Armenian population increased substantially as wit-

nessed by the steady growth of neighborhoods and churches to match the population increase. From 1750-1850, approximately half of all Armenian churches in the city were founded.

Some were in close proximity to others in densely concentrated areas near the patriarchate, especially in Kumkapi, Yenikapi, Samataya, and Beyoglu.

Associated with this increase in population was the rise of an Armenian “aristocracy” –the “amira” class. Many of these individuals financed church construction and are well-known in both Ottoman and patriarchal records.

They worked hard, accumulated modest amounts of wealth and were faithful church-goers who participated in the affairs of their congregation and neighborhood—the emerging “petty bourgeois.” Their work has barely been recorded. It was their contributions to their respective churches that is brought to light in Marchese’s research

and is illustrated in his presentation.

Marchese received a doctorate from New York University and has a distinguished career in archaeology, having conducted research at the Plataiai Archaeological Excavation in Greece and at Tel Dor in Israel. He is the author of many articles and book chapters in the field. He is an alumnus of Fresno State.

He is co-author with Marlene Breu of “Splendor and Spectacle: The Armenian Orthodox Church Textile Collections of Istanbul. He has authored several other books on art and weaving.

The lecture is free and open to the public.

Parking rules have changed for the university. Parking is available in Lots A or J on campus, only if a free parking pass is obtained by using parking code 273305 in any of the campus kiosks.

when we get steals and attack their defense when they’re not ready.”

The second half was when Thompson said the “defense stepped it up.”

“We started executing our press a lot better,” Thonpson said. ”We played great man defense.”

Boise State (9-8, 2-2 MWC) held an early 4-0 lead in the first half off a jumper from Lauren Lenhardt, one of the primary reasons Fresno State chose to increase its pressure on defense.

L e n h a rd t , t h e B ro n c o s ’ leading scorer, averaging 15.2 points per game, finished the night with 12 points.

“They had such a great post player in Lauren Lenhardt that we felt that we couldn’t sit in the half court game with her all night and let her be able

to get touches whenever she wanted,” Pebley said.

On offense, the Bulldogs stretched the court through their guards.

Thompson, who for a slight second, drove the lane, then quickly passed the ball to an open Moult for a 3 in the second half after luring a defender inside.

And Moore, who gave the g o - a h e a d p a s s t o Ja c i n t a Vandenberg for the open basket in the paint, giving Fresno State a 53-36 lead with 10:22 to play.

On the Bulldogs’ following score, Moore, with Thompson posted on the outside, passed faked the ball and drove the lane for a layup.

Moore and Thompson each had five assists.

“I was getting a lot of open shots purely from the guards attacking,” said Moult, who in the first half shot 2-of-8 from

the field. “I liked the looks I was getting, they just weren’t dropping, unfortunately.”

A fast break layup off a halfcourt pass from Thompson to Moore gave Fresno State a 61-41 lead, its largest of the game,with 6:11 to play.

Notebook: men's basketball McDonald: local product losses have been close ones will coach Jets' secondary

By Ricardo Cano The Collegian The Fresno State men’s basketball team enters Saturday’s Mountain West Conference matchup against Colorado State at the Save Mart Center with a 1-4 conference record.

With the exception of New Mexico (a 72-45 road loss) their conference losses this season have been close.

The Bulldogs' other three conference losses have been by margins of seven points or fewer.

Their narrowest defeat coming at home against San Diego State (a 65-62 loss on Jan. 9) in a game that Fresno State could've have sent into overtime had its last-second 3-pointer made it in the basket.

The Bulldogs' nonconference losses have been close, for the most part, as well (see Southern Illinois, Colorado, UC Irvine, Texas and Long Beach State).

The Bulldogs continue conference play on Saturday at

home against Colorado State.

Women’s basketball meshing on offense, ‘sustaining effort’ The Fresno State women’s basketball team has gone 5-1 after ringing in the New Year.

The Bulldogs have won five of their last six games, including going 4-1 in the Mountain West Conference.

The Bulldogs’ sole loss this month was 78-71 on the road to Wyoming.

Fresno State remains undefeated at home for the season (8-0).

“I don’t feel that we’ve won games lately because we shot the ball well,” coach Raegan Pebley said after the Bulldogs’ 70-57 win at home over Boise State on Wednesday.

“I feel like we’ve won games lately because we’ve been able to sustain some effort. Our team is making great adjustments. They’re playing some pretty good concept basketball offensively and defensively.”

And, judging from their play at home, Fresno State has shown that it meshes well in coach Raegan Pebley’s new offense.

I n M o u n t a i n We s t Conference play, at least three Bulldogs have scored in double-digits and in four games.

Four players have scored in double digits in three of the Bulldogs’ five conference games – with players like Rosie Moult and Bree Farley taking their signature shots from the 3-point line, and guards Taylor Thompson and Ki-Ki Moore getting scores in the lane.

“We love versatility in our scoring,” Pebley said. “Shots and scores in the paint and good, open looks on the perimeter. When you have players like Bree, Rosie, and Robin (Draper) and even (Alex) Sheedy at times, that can stretch the defense out to the 3-point line, that will open the paint up. It’s really making defense decide if they’re going to guard the ball or guard the shooter. It’s fun basketball to watch.”

CONTINUED from page 8 XXIX. McDonald has steadily risen the coaching ranks, arriving at Fresno State in 2012 after coaching Edison High School to a CIF Central Section championship.

McDonald coached sons T.J. and Tevin at Edison.

Crazy timing! Congrats pops," T.J. tweeted on Tuesday.

The vacant position on the Bulldogs coaching will not be filled probably be filled until after National Signing Day on Feb. 6, DeRuyter said.

“As far as filling his spot, we’re probably not going to do anything until after Signing Day. There has been an unbelievable amount of interest in the position already, got a couple of guys in mind, but we’ll probably stay focused on recruiting right now and look to make the hire shortly after that.”

'Dogs deflate Broncos on D Women’s Basketball

By Ricardo Cano The Collegian

Against the Broncos, there was a moment where the play from the Fresno State women’s basketball reached a level that forced coach Raegan Pebley to break character during the game.

During a timeout at one point in the second half, Pebley told her huddled Bulldogs, who were leading all throughout the second half, “‘Gosh, you guys are fun to watch.’”

“They’re really fun to watch when they are playing hard defensively. You can feel this chemistry from them…

They know where (they’re) at and they know how to play to set each other up for success.”

Fresno State played fast on defense – pressuring Boise State to commit 20 turnovers – and balanced on offense – with three players in double figures – in its 70-57 win over Boise State in Mountain West Conference play Wednesday night at the Save Mart Center.

The win extended Fresno State’s home streak to 19 games. The Bulldogs (12-6, 4-1 MWC) are 8-0 at home this season.

Ki-Ki Moore made 8-of-12 shots from the field and finished with a gamehigh 20 points, five assists and seven steals. Rosie Moult scored 15 and Taylor Thompson added 12 in a game that saw Fresno State lead all throughout the second half.

After leading only 31-27 at the half, the Bulldogs’ defense went on a secondhalf surge. Fresno State forced 18 steals pressing the Broncos and playing uptempo defense.

Fresno State’s 18 steals almost matched their season-high 20 against Cal-Maritime on Nov. 12.

“We play well together with the up-tempo,” Thompson said. “It’s fun See BULLDOGS, Page 7

Seniors to be honored this weekend Saturday marks senior day for the Fresno State swimming and diving team as they take on UC Davis.

This will be the Bulldogs' first meet in their home pool since Oct. 27 when they took on Fresno Pacific and Nevada. Coach Jeanne Fleck is not concerned about any added jitters.

“They love being at home, so I don’t think there’s pressure at all,” Fleck said.

“They get excited. They’re used to our pool, they’re used to the walls.

They’re used to everything.”

Lucy Titchin, a sophomore sprint freestyler, is happy the team doesn't have to travel for Saturday’s meet.

“I like being at home,” Titchin said, “It’s nice because you don’t have to travel a lot or worry about sitting on a bus for hours. I like having some people come watch that I actually know. It should be fun.”

This dual meet will also mark the last home meet for six seniors on the roster.

For Fleck, emotions have been high this week.

“This group means a lot to this program because they were my first recruiting class, so it’s a big deal,” Fleck said. “They have built this program on their backs. They took a chance on me when I didn’t have a team. They all signed early, so they hadn’t seen

“Especially Dani [Yoho] for me, because we’re both freestylers,” Titchin said.

“I’ve had her to look up to, especially in terms of sprint, becauwse she’s pretty quick. It’s been nice to have someone to aspire to.”

It has not been an easy season for the Bulldogs to this point, but Fleck is hopeful that they can turn it around.

“We’ve had some ups and downs,” Fleck said. “I would say that I thought

our meet in November where we rested a little bit in Houston was awesome.

We’ve had great swims. I feel like we’re still trying to get to that point where we’re ready for the conference meet and we’re not quite there yet.”

Fleck said that hosting UC Davis is going to make for tough meet, though is optimistic that they will be able to hold their own in the pool.

“It’s going to be difficult,” Fleck said.

“UC Davis is a very, very tough team.

Tim McDonald has joined the coaching staff of the New York Jets after one year as a Fresno State assistant coach, Jets coach Rex Ryan officially announced Thursday in a press conference.

McDonald will serve as the Jets' defensive backs coach, the same position he held this season at Fresno State.

Dennis Thurman, the Jets' previous secondary coach, was promoted to defensive coordinator. Thurman and McDonald were teammates at USC. McDonald was part of a Fresno State defensive coaching staff that helped coach a defense that forced 35 turnovers on the season, a drastic turnaround from the nine total tur novers the Bulldogs forced in 2011 when the team went 4-9.

Safety Phillip Thomas was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award this season that honors the nation's top defensive back. Thomas, who led the nation with eight interceptions, and safety Derron Smith were All-Mountain West Conference first-team selections.

“I’m excited for T-Mac,” Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter said in a statement released by the athletics department.

“He did an outstanding job for us this past year as evident by our four all-conference players in the secondary. He and coach [Jordan] Peterson far exceeded expectations because they were phenomenal coaching our guys up, which led to a lot of interest in him. Tim now gets a chance to follow a dream and go coach in the NFL and I’m happy for him."

The local product played quarterback at Edison High School in Fresno and was a six-time Pro Bowl selection in 13 seasons in the NFL. McDonald played professionally for the San Francisco 49ers, where he was part of a team that won Super Bowl See MCDONALD, Page 7
