FRESNO STATE'S STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1922

FRESNOSTATE.EDU/COLLEGIAN

AN INTERVIEW WITH JIM BARTKO

A VISION FOR VICTORY

By Christopher Livingston | @senorlivingston Three months into his tenure, Fresno State’s new athletic director Jim Bartko has unveiled a five-point plan including the reinstatement of wrestling and addition of women’s water polo. He sat down with The Collegian sports editor Christopher Livingston for a one-on-one interview outlining highlights of his plan and his thoughts on the future of Fresno State athletics.

Q: When you got hired back in November, what did you see as the main priority coming in?

At first, I took time to evaluate our current budget, staffers and facilities and also look into program expansion. So my biggest priority for the first 30 days was to come in and get an idea of what was going on, get a feel for where we were and where we’re going.

Paul Schlesinger • The Collegian

In an interview with The Collegian on Wednesday, Fresno State AD Jim Bartko discussed his vision for the future. “We’re going to have 21 sports when it’s all said and done,” he said of plans to add wrestling and women’s water polo.

ANOTHER ROGUE FEST IN THE BOOKS

By Trentyn Pues @TheCollegian

Jonah Lehrer, a science writer who was caught fabricating quotes in one of his books, said plagiarism is “the worst mistake a journalist can make” at a forum discussion at Fresno State on Thursday.

Lehrer has written for Wired, Grantland, The New Yorker, The Boston Globe and The Wall Street Journal and has published three books. He resigned from The New Yorker in 2012 after admitting to making up Bob Dylan quotes in his book, “Imagine: How Creativity Works.”

“Writing for The New Yorker had been my dream job,” Lehrer said. “I lost it, and I deserved to lose it. You make those kinds of mistakes, and you deserve the ridicule; you deserve the criticism.”

Attendees filled Room 2206 of the Henry Madden Library as Lehrer shared his cautionary tale.

Lehrer described the struggles in the aftermath of his resignation, his career choice and lapses in journalistic ethics.

Lehrer, 33, graduated from Columbia University in 2003

Amerasia Week at Fresno State champions diversity with ‘kindness’

By Desiree Herroz @desireeherroz

In celebration of Amerasia Week, Fresno State guest lecturer Dr. Patrick Hayashi, former associate president of

the University of California system, spoke Wednesday on issues of racism and homophobia and gave an account of his life as a Japanese-American.

Reflecting on his life experiences and encounters with racism, Hayashi focused his

lecture on how he learned to work with non-accepting individuals and how his weaknesses helped him grow into the person he is today.

IN NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH TRY EATING A LITTLE LESS MEAT

By Karla Dumas

Registered Dietitian Balancing your schedule between classes, studying, friends, work and maybe even sleep, you may not give much thought to what your next meal will be.

But before you grab that cheeseburger or pepperoni pizza, remember: what you put into your body today can set the stage for the rest of your life.

With March being National Nutrition Month, now is a good time to focus on making informed food choices.

Recently, the nation’s top health and nutrition experts made recommendations for the country’s upcoming 2015 dietary guidelines.

That advisory committee’s recommendations highlighted our country’s “suboptimal” dietary patterns. Our eating behaviors have contributed to more than two-thirds of adults and one-third of children becoming overweight or obese.

Diet recommendations can be misrepresented to the public thanks to the work of certain food interest groups that are more focused on selling their product than furthering public health.

We’ve been told to follow low-fat diets, high-protein diets and everything in between.

Despite the flood of products catering to these types of diets in the grocery store aisles and restaurants, research indicates more Americans are becoming overweight or obese and getting sicker each year.

However, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines

Bill Hogan • Chicago Tribune/TNS

A stew of black-eyed peas and sautéed vegetables is topped with pan-fried corn cakes, a recipe from “Vegetarian Dinner Parties.” Food styling by Corrine Kozlak.

Advisory Committee made strong, clear recommendations that show the least amount of political influence than we’ve seen in decades. Their advice? Adopt a plant-strong diet, meaning more fruits and veggies and fewer animal products.

We need to put the emphasis back on whole, minimally processed foods, the best type of fuel to look and feel great now, while protecting you for years to come.

And you can start making small, impactful changes right now.

While the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages us to “bite into a healthy

lifestyle,” the first bite could be to join the global Meatless Monday movement. Choosing to take a weekly holiday from meat is an easy way to enjoy more plant-strong meals.

As college dining services are offering more meatless options every day, some are dedicating entire dining halls to meatless meals.

The University of North Texas, for example, was the first in the nation to offer a meat-free dining hall with the majority of diners not vegetarian or vegan, but simply wanting delicious, satisfying, healthier meals.

Choosing meatless meals is easy on our time and wallets. At home, these meals can be prepared using a microwave, can opener, blender and stove or hot plate.

Fill up on protein-rich foods like a zesty bean and rice bowl, Mediterranean flatbread with hummus and olives, potato and chickpea curry, white bean chili or vegetable lo mein.

The benefits of a plant-strong diet reach even beyond our own personal health. The dietary committee reported that a diet higher in animal-based foods leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use and energy use.

That’s right, choosing more meatless meals helps protect the environment as well as your own health.

Reducing meat consumption also reduces the number of animals exposed to inhumane factory farm practices.

This is why the Humane Society of the United States embraces the Three R’s of eating: “reducing” or “replacing” consumption of animal products and “refining” our diets by choosing products from sources that adhere to higher animal welfare standards.

Improving our own health – and the health of the planet – can be overwhelming. But in this case, we have the potential to make a significant difference, one bite at a time.

Former president of UC system gives talk on diversity, kindness AMERASIA from Page 1 ry of Amerasia Week, and I’m really impressed with what the students have done,” Hayashi said.

“With terrible things happening in the world, I think it’s extremely important to talk to people you don’t know much about.”

Amerasia Week is a celebration of Asian-American culture through events, lectures and other activities offered on campus through various Fresno State clubs and organizations.

Hayashi’s audience included students, faculty and staff of different Asian cultures as well as Fresno State President Joseph Castro, a friend of Hayashi.

“He is an amazing leader and mentor,” Castro said while introducing Hayashi to the audience.

“He taught me so much about higher education.”

Hayashi said that he was honored to be a part of Amerasia Week, promoting equality and highlighting the importance of getting to know other people.

“I think this is a great university,” Hayashi said. “It’s very cultural and very accepting of diversity.”

Growing up as a Japa-

nese-American, Hayashi recalled the first time he experienced discrimination.

At the age of 6, one of Hayashi’s classmates, asked Hayashi not to play with her anymore, because her mother said Hayashi had yellow skin.

“I put my arm up to her dress and I said, ‘Your dress is yellow.

I’m not yellow,’” Hayashi said. “I felt rejected, ashamed and completely alone. Only kindness could pierce my loneliness. Kindness is the most precious of human qualities.”

Looking back on that day, Hayashi said, his first exposure to discrimination was when racism both damaged and helped him.

“It helped me grow intellectually, emotionally and spiritually — it’s strange but true,” Hayashi said. “Because of racism, I feel a deep kinship with anyone else who has been hurt by prejudice.”

Fresno State sociology major Korio Masumoto said it was his first time attending an Amerasia lecture.

“I can relate to Patrick, because I’m Japanese too,” Masumoto said. “Being a mixed race, I’ve also experience discrimination.

Former University of California System President Doctor Patrick Hayashi gave a talk Wednesday night. Hayashi, right, said he was impressed with Amerasia week on the Fresno State campus.

come together to perform dances and other activities that happened throughout the week.

The event will run from 7-9 p.m. at the Satellite Student Union.

Associated Students Inc. is proposing a plan that would push departments to create five-year schedules of the courses they offer and upload course syllabuses online — a system senators said would give students more guidance when registering for classes.

Most departments at Fresno State offer certain courses one semester per year. While the Fresno State online catalog indicates which semester courses are usually offered, the actual course lineups for the following semesters aren’t made available until the registration period opens.

The proposal ASI sent to the Academic Senate calls for departments to have course lineups set five years in advance, a model it said will emulate the department of mathematics which has a list of course offerings through 2019 available online.

Senators at the meeting said students often have to wait until the registration period to get a good handle on whether the classes they need will be available the following semester.

"It's a way to make sure students are graduating on time, because they can know where they are, and they will be able to plan their graduation path,” said ASI senator Kaitlyn Sims.

"It would be so simple to implement and incredibly effective."

The proposal also calls for instructors to upload their

course syllabuses to their department websites.

Sims said it would be beneficial for students to go on the department website and look at the syllabus before registering for classes; adding the planned course offerings would still be subject to change due to enrollment or budget constraints.

Provost Zelezny: Need for impaction a result of increase in applications Fresno State Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Lynnette Zelezny updated the ASI on the current proposal of impaction which aims to decrease the number of students accepted to Fresno State in 2016 due to a lack of funding.

Zelezny said impaction is a result of a success story for Fresno State.

“We are becoming a destination campus,” Zelezny said.

“Students want to come to Fresno State because of its academics.”

She added that the problem is due to the fact that Fresno State does not get enough funding from the state to support the number of students.

“The state gives a specified funding which equates to admission number,” she said.

“That number is typically not a problem, but in this day and age, with an increasing amount of applications, we face a challenge.”

Sims announced that the Craig School of Business will continue with its honors program next year after briefly considering the possibility of cutting the program.

Photographs explore ‘New India’

By Yvette Mancilla @yvette_mancilla

Fresno State photography professor Neil Chowdhury showcased a solo exhibition at local gallery Corridor 2122 as a part of ArtHop. ArtHop takes place twice a month at various venues in Downtown Fresno and Tower District.

Chowdhury’s exhibition takes on his exploration of India. Chowdhury’s personal experiences of being Indian, British and American are shown through “Burdens and

Desires,” a variety of subjects that cross class lines from the middle class to the homeless in India.

His photography “investigates the complex collision of traditional lifestyles with conspicuous consumption and capitalist aspirations, chronicling the ways in which this social and economic upheaval is shaping a new India as it plays out in the drama of everyday lives on the streets of India’s biggest cities,” according to Corridor 2122.

“Burdens and Desires” will run through March 22 on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.

REVIEW

By Troy Pope @darktroy



Craft beer is everywhere. These days it’s easier to track down the fancy beer in a store than it is to find your everyday domestic beer that is sold for less than a dollar a can.

The good news is, you shouldn’t be throwing your money away on those cans of glorified water anyhow. At a miniscule 4.2 percent alcohol by volume, Bud Light is slightly more alcoholic than what’s given to babies in Russia.

Why bother, when for a dollar or two more you can get beer that is almost twice the alcohol content and is also extremely delicious?

Anheuser-Busch, the makers of Budweiser, even have a smear campaign in the form of television advertisements going around attacking the craft beer industry and trying to promote their product as “beer for people who like to drink beer.”

Next week, we’ll take a look at the best of the worst beers available to college students like the Anheuser-Busch products, but today we’ll talk about a brewing company newly available in Fresno. Its beer is 10 times better than Budweiser and boasts

a price that is nearly identical.

Based in the Miramar area of San Diego, Saint Archer Brewing has brought its awesome line up of beers to the Central Valley.

One uncommon trait is that it’s available in both cans and bottles. Only a few craft brewers are known to do this; most brewers pick one or the other.

The packaging it comes in is remarkably plain. It doesn’t necessarily stand out on a shelf; the boxes that the cans come in are simply solid colors like red, white, blue and yellow. The beers don’t have fancy names.

The pale ple is simply called Pale Ale. Saint Archer IPA pours a nice bright gold. The aroma consists merely of light hops.

The taste begins with the sharp flavor of hops you’d expect in a big IPA -- nice and citrusy. The surprising thing is that the flavor doesn’t last. The hop flavor ends in an incredibly smooth finish that you would expect from a session beer that’s low in alcohol.

However, Saint Archer IPA is anything but a session beer. While session beers generally range from 4 percent ABV down to a tiny 2.7 percent like Evil Twin Brewing’s Bikini Beer, Saint Archer IPA is a solid 6.8 percent.

While this IPA may be the perfect beer, it also runs the risk of being forgettable.

Beer enthusiasts tend to remember many of

His large workload, Lehrer said, helped create pressure that led to his mistakes.

“I got really, really busy,” Lehrer said. “I tried doing too much, and my work got sloppy, and I made some very serious mistakes. I was taking on more projects than I could do well.”

Lehrer said he reused work two to three years old in order to give his new articles context. He said he didn’t realize it was wrong at the time.

“It sounds very, very, very naïve,” Lehrer said. “To me, these were my words. I had written them. I didn’t understand the problem. But it was a problem. The fact that I felt the need to cut and paste words from the past should have been a sign that something was wrong.”

As for the Dylan quotes, Lehrer said it was mostly a mistake made in haste.

He said he was on deadline to finish the book proposal for “Imagine.” The proposal included a sample chapter, and that chapter was on how Dylan came up with “Like a Rolling Stone.”

“In my race to finish the proposal,” Lehrer said, “I thought I was too busy — too lazy is probably more honest —to really go to the library and look up these actual quotes.”

INFRASTRUCTURE

Electrical upgrade continues

By The Collegian @TheCollegian

Paul Schlesinger • The Collegian

Former New Yorker reporter Jonah Lehrer delivers a talk Thursday on his struggles with plagiarism as a journalist in the Henry Madden Library Room 2206.

In February of 2013, just six months after the incident came to light, Lehrer was invited to speak at a lunch for the Knight Foundation.

The speech was not well-received and both Lehrer and the Knight Foundation were criticized for a $20,000 honorarium given to Lehrer to speak.

Though it was not reported, Lehrer said he donated the money.

Fresno State senior Phillip Benotti said he questioned some of the information Lehrer shared in his talk.

“You have that perception of once a liar, always a liar,” Benotti said. “It’s hard to trust somebody after they’ve lied for their career in some major publications. I mean, you’d like to take his word on it, but sometimes you

can’t.”

Lehrer no longer accepts honorariums to speak and said he has participated in eight other forum discussions similar to Thursday’s in the past year. He is currently writing books and said he isn’t quite ready to return to journalism yet, adding he’s enjoying writing now more than ever.

Lehrer told the audience about his new policy on quotes. He sends his interview subjects the quotes he plans to use to ensure that there are no issues or discrepancies. He also records all his interviews for reference.

Lehrer’s next book, “The Digital Mind: How We Think and Behave Differently on Screens,” is co-written with UCLA professor Shlomo Benartzi and will be released in May.

Fresno State Facilities Management will continue electrical infrastructure upgrades this month as part of the school’s long-term infrastructure improvement plans.

Two installation dates are scheduled for March. On Wednesday, several trees along Barstow Avenue between Cedar and Jackson avenues will be removed to replace aged electrical lines along the north side of Barstow Avenue and make room for a bike lane.

Underground electrical line upgrades along Barstow Avenue are also scheduled March 15.

The school said in a news release it plans to continue underground electrical infrastructure upgrades through September 2016.

The Bulldog Bulletin MWC STANDINGS Professional Bull Riders heads to Fresno

One of the greatest bucking bulls in PBR history will be on display today at 5 p.m. at Cool Hand Luke’s Steakhouse in Clovis.

Bushwacker, a 1,700-pound bull, retired after the PBR World Finals in October 2014 with a perfect record of 14-0 on the Built Ford Tough Series and 17-0 overall.

Named one of the “baddest bodies in

sports” by ESPN the Magazine in 2013, he has also been featured in national news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Newsweek, CBS this Morning and ESPN’s E:60, to name a few.

Bushwacker’s handler/owner Julio Moreno and PBR participants Cody Nance and Alexandre Cardozo will be on site.

The PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series brings the extreme sport of professional bull riding to the Save Mart Center this weekend with events taking place on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

‘Dogs survive scare in home finale

By Daniel Leon @DanLeon25

March Madness has officially begun for head coach Rodney Terry and the Fresno State men’s basketball team, and Wednesday proved that.

Down by one point with 10 seconds left in Wednesday’s contest, Air Force forward Hayden Graham fired a shot from behind the arc. But it bounced off the rim, and his teammate Marek Olesinski grabbed the rebound and attempted a layup -- only to be denied by the ‘Dogs’ Julien Lewis.

Bulldogs forward Paul Watson would come away with the loose ball, and guard Marvelle Harris sunk one of two free throws with a few seconds remaining, and that was it. In front of its final home crowd of the season, the Bulldogs held on for the 68-66 conference win over the Falcons (13-16, 6-12 MW).

With the win, the ‘Dogs have clinched a first-round bye for the Mountain West Championship Tournament next week in Las Vegas.

“I give our guys a lot of credit because they hung tough,” Terry said. “They could’ve folded, but they stayed together and trusted one another. This one wasn’t easy. Our league this year has been really good from top to bottom, and we knew tonight it was going to be a 40-minute game.”

The Bulldogs (15-15, 10-7 MW) built a 15-point lead but saw it nearly wiped out as Air Force would go on a 17-3 run to cut Fresno State’s lead to 43-42 near the halfway point of the second period to set up

the dramatic ending.

Fresno State forward Alex Davis was honored before Wednesday’s game as part of Senior Night festivities. Davis, a 2015 All State Good Works nominee for his involvement in the community, scored six points and posted eight rebounds in his final game at the Save Mart Center.

“I just wanted to come out and leave it all on the floor for the guys,” Davis said.

“With it being Senior Night, I had a lot of emotions built up, but I just wanted to stay focused because we had a task at hand that we needed to accomplish and that was win this game.”

Point guard Cezar Guerrero’s 18 points and Lewis’ 17 led the way for the Bulldogs.

Paul Watson and Marvelle Harris had 10 points each and combined for nine boards.

Fresno State closed out the home season with an 11-3 record at home this year, and after the game, Terry went to the middle of the court and thanked the fanbase for its continuous support this season.

“Double-digit wins in this league is pretty good,” Terry said. “We had great support here at home all year long. It’s a major deal because we don’t get that done without the Red Wave being out here and supporting us. I thought we did what we needed to do at home this year in conference play.

“In this league, you have to have a home court, and our home crowd really willed our guys to victories, including tonight.

They’ve meant a lot to us, and they’ve been the difference for us this year.”

The Bulldogs close out the regular season Saturday on the road at conference-leader Boise State (23-7, 13-4 MW).

The Fresno State lacrosse team christened its new Soccer and Lacrosse Field with its second win of the season Wednesday night, 13-11, over the Campbell University Camels.

Sophomore midfielder Kyleigh Westgarth was perfect on the night, going 5-for5 in shot attempts. Caroline Dineen-Carlson tallied four scores of her own, bringing her season goal total to a team-high 12.

“It was a great game all around,” said Fresno State head coach Jessica Giglio.

“Westgarth had the best game she’s ever had. Caroline was fantastic on both the draw control and on the offensive end.”

Fresno State paced its play on the field and picked up 24 ground balls, compared with only six for Campbell.

Freshman goalkeeper Natalie Chaffin saved seven shots on the night against strong offense from the Camels.

Even though it was a high-scoring match, the game had a quiet start. Neither team scored in the first 10 minutes, until Dineen-Carlson threw in her first goal of the match. Campbell responded quickly to tie the score.

The ‘Dogs then pulled away, scoring the next three goals, two of them from Dineen-Carlson. The Camels would not go down in the first half without a fight, and they rallied to take the lead at 5-4 with 8:36 left in the first half.

However, the lead was not for long. Logan Eisinger tied the score with less than five minutes left until halftime, and Westgarth’s goal gave the ‘Dogs the lead heading into the break.

Campbell scored the first goal of the second stanza, and the Bulldogs responded with three straight to take a 9-6 lead.

The Camels and ‘Dogs traded goals, before Campbell shortened its deficit to 10-9.

Fresno State then went on 2-0 run to extend its lead and held on for the win.

Fresno State women’s tennis scored another impressive victory on the heels of their best win of the season, dominating UC Santa Barbara 6-1 at the Wathen Tennis Center on Thursday afternoon.

“This team [UCSB] is a very good team,” Fresno State head coach Ryan Stotland said. “And we didn’t give them a shot to beat us today. I feel very good about every match from here on out and I think we’re playing the level we want to see at this time.”

Indeed, the Gauchos came in with some heavy momentum after wins at

home against Loyola Marymount and Santa Clara to get to a winning record at 5-4.

UCSB came out firing and jumped up in two of the three sets early, but the Bulldogs were able to stay poised and take the first two doubles sets.

The team of Sofya Malysheva and Tanya Murtagh was the first to win their set at 6-4. Murtagh found her confidence at the net and at one point took five shots in a row at net on a single point.

“I think that’s when it changed,” Murtagh said. “I think it was four all, it was a close game and so we got that point and just carried momentum on from there. I like being at the net and I think I’ve got good hands so, it’s a good part of

my game.”

The team of Maiar and Rana Sherif Ahmed secured the doubles point with a 6-2 victory that featured their aggressive play style consistently.

The Gauchos drew first blood in singles play, as Sofya Malysheva didn’t fare as well in singles, losing 1-6, 3-6. That, however, was the last point they’d earn in the match.

Not a single match went to three sets, as the Bulldogs quickly built their lead with wins by Anneka Watts on Court 5 and Maiar Sherif Ahmed on Court 2.

Senior Anne Susdorf looked poised to capture the clinching point for Fresno State’s win, as she won an apparent 40-30 point up five sets to two.

FRESNO STATE AD DISCUSSES GOALS, IDEAS OVER FIVE-YEAR SPAN BARTKO from Page 1 It’s always hard to get an idea when you first get hired as to what needs to change and what needs to happen. But I just wanted to give myself a little bit of time to look at everything and evaluate everything and look at where we’re headed in the future.

Q: What are some of the things that attracted you to the job opening here at Fresno State?

You never look to leave. I had a great job at Oregon. I had my family there. I settled well, and we were on our way to the national championship game. Things were going pretty good.

But when the job opened, I knew it had potential. I know what the Valley means to people and what the school means to people. So if I were to leave Oregon, it would need to be some place that I think has a chance to be great.

Q: What kind of changes do you see Fresno State going through under your tenure?

We need to take care of our current sports before we do anything. There’s a few tweaks that we have to make on track and tennis [facilities], and we’re going to look at Bulldog Stadium. We’re going to get some architects in there to see what will need to be done. We need to re-engage our donor base, and we have to get our fans to grow our budget to be in the upper level of the upper Mountain West Conference.

So when I look back five years from now, I’m hoping we can have some changes to Bulldog Stadium that our fans can be proud of. It’s a great facility, but it’s getting a little tired in some areas.

We want to get our stadium full, and we want to get our scholarship cost paid for.

Those are the things we need to do.

Q: Lately we’ve seen a lot of promotions that Fresno State Athletics has been throwing in order to get more fans to attend games. Do you see that as the first step to get more fans to attend games?

You have to get a buzz going, and our marketing staff has done a great job.

We’ve also had some donors who have helped out with some resources. It’s just a way to build a buzz around basketball. Both teams have had their ups and downs this year, but they’re having some success heading into the tournament next week.

In football, we have to find ways to get fans there. We hope that they can just come no matter what. But in football, obviously when we’re having success they show up. We have to make sure that atmosphere is electric, because that’s what it’s all about. We have to find a way to make sure the fans are taken care of, enjoy their time and have fun while they’re there.”

Q: How did Fresno State (and the community) tell you about the importance of bringing back wrestling?

This is a huge wrestling population.

It’s hard to drop a sport, but it’s harder to bring one back, especially nowadays with cost. There’s no doubt that the passion for bringing back wrestling is huge. But the donors also know that it is a process.

It’s not going to happen overnight. The president has been very committed to it.

We needed to find the right timeline and the right plan to put in place, including what women’s sport we can add to offset it.

It’s not going to be a one-year plan. It takes about two to three years to fundraise for a coach, get the facilities figured out, recruit and get the kids on campus.

It’s going to be a little bit of time, but we’re going to get it done.

Q: Where do you see Fresno State Athletics 10 years from now.

Well, I’ll do five years since I have a five-year contract. What I told our coaches is there’s lot of NCAA landscapes changing. I want to have our programs competing for championships in the Mountain West Conference in every sport in five years. We’re right there now, and there’s no reason this community cannot support a program when we’re the best in this conference. We’re gonna strive to be the best.

In five years from now, if we could have our budget up where it’s upper-level in the conference, our student-athletes still graduating at a high level, Bulldog Stadium with a little improvement and have wrestling and water polo up to speed, that’s where I want to be.
