three-hour charge or the two quick charge stalls for a full charge in 20 to 30 minutes.

The project was launched a year ago when the school received a grant of $397,000 from the California Energy Commission.

“The university is moving toward renewable energy, towards managing waste.

That’s been going on for several years,” said Dr. Criss Wilhite, professor and founder of the Applied Behavior Analysis Programs on campus. “This project is important because there’s a real dearth of charging stations in the Central Valley.”

Joseph Bohigian’s life could have ended long before it started.

Instead, the Fresno State senior thrives today as a 21-yearold music composer.

Bohigian thanks his great-grandmother who survived the Armenian Genocide in 1915.

Unlike most of her family and the millions of Armenians who became casualties, Bohigian’s great-grandmother escaped the attack by the Ottoman government.

In 1920, she fled to Fresno with her mother, and they helped build the foundation for a community that would host many generations of Armenians.

All this became clear for Bohigian as he was doing research to prepare for the Fresno State New Music Ensemble concert which would commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

“With writing my piece specifically, I did a lot of research into the genocide,“ Bohigian said. “I read a lot of books about recognition of the genocide and denial. I also looked into my own family history. Most, if not all of my great-grandparents, were genocide survivors.”

Bohigian was one of seven Armenian composers featured at the Fresno State New Music Ensemble Concert.

His piece, “In the Shadow of Ararat,” was written specifically for the concert.

“The piece was written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, and I used influences from Armenian folk and sacred music in the piece,” Bohigian said.

The title of the work is a reference to Mount Ararat, a national symbol for the Armenian people.

The contour of the music is modeled after Mount Ararat’s two peaks and the Holy Trinity, used structurally throughout the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

SECURING A BETTER FUTURE

By Charity Jackson & Sean Savett AFL-CIO

When we talk about the economy with people our age, we hear a lot of frustration.

A lot of Millennials wonder, why is our generation forced to take on a mountain of student debt to get a quality education?

Why do many of us leave college struggling to transition to the workforce and find good-paying jobs?

Because Millennials aren’t politically organized, but we can be.

The two of us are union members who are proud to be part of a movement that is fighting every day to give working people a collective voice and make sure the American Dream isn’t a thing of the past.

Throughout the country, unions are at the forefront advocating for issues that are important to young workers.

Whether it’s ending abusive labor practices, establishing protections against workplace discrimination, expanding quality apprenticeship and skills training programs or advocating for free public higher education, labor is there for us. And that’s a good thing because one look at the economy confirms we need unions more than ever.

For most Millennials like us, the economy isn’t a set of abstract numbers and concepts. It’s our lives. Most of you reading this have student debt. We bet many of you worry about how you will pay back your loans.

Many students are also scared about what comes next. They don’t know how they’ll pay off their debt because wages have stagnated and a path to the middle

SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS

Denim Day event spotlights sexual assault awareness

By Desiree Herroz @desireeherroz

To raise awareness for sexual assault victims, the Fresno State Women’s Resource Center teamed up with the campus community for Denim Day, a national day helping to share the story of a rape victim who was assaulted while wearing tight jeans.

Concluding Sexual Assault Awareness Month on April 29, Denim Day is a nationally recognized observance in response to a 1992 Italian Supreme Court ruling.

The Italian court ruled in favor of a male driving instructor, overturning a guilty verdict of rape by a lower court and finding the man not guilty. The basis for the decision was that the 18-year-old victim wore tight jeans, and that because they were tight-fitting, even though she may have been forcibly coerced into removing the jeans, she had agreed to engage in consensual sex.

In 2008, the decision was overturned once again, but Denim Day was born as a protest, with women from the Italian Parliament holding placards reading “jeans, an alibi for rape.”

Ana Cisneros, a member of the Women’s Resource Center, said that Denim Day is a great way for students to help spread the word on sexual assault awareness.

“We’re here to educate students on the reason behind Denim Day and why April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month,” Cisner-

Discover the Difference

os said. “Students can come and show their support by writing on the jeans with messages or their names in support of the victims.”

Lying on the table next to Cisneros was an array of jeans with stories and signatures of campus supporters.

Handing out small paper printouts of the story behind Denim Day, Cisneros said what you wear does not give someone consent to be sexually assaulted.

“This semester, we also have buttons,” Cisneros said pointing to a pin on her shirt that read, “Ask me why I’m wearing jeans.”

She said that numerous offices on campus have reached out to the center to show their support, including Fresno State President Dr. Joseph Castro.

Fresno State psychology major Courtney Mukai said she enjoyed the solidarity and symbolism of the event.

“If you know what this cause is about, then you might as well stand up for it,” Mukai said. “We need to stand up for it, showing Fresno State that that situation was unacceptable.”

Mukai said that Denim Day is an easy cause to support because most people wear jeans and can understand that anyone can be attacked -- anyone can be a victim.

But she said they shouldn’t have to be scared to go outside or walk around at night because of any article of clothing.

“We need to do something about it,” Mukai said. “We need to stand up for women and against sexual assault.”

Gay marriage foe’s argument seems to leave Supreme Court justices puzzled

By David G. Savage

Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- Many people think they know what marriage is about: love, fidelity and the forming of stable families to raise children.

But to hear the legal opponents of same-sex marriage, that represents flawed thinking.

As the Supreme Court justices listened this week, at times with noticeable puzzlement, the attorney defending Michigan's ban on gay marriages said that although people may say "that marriage is all about love and commitment," in truth "the state doesn't have any interest in that."

"What the state cares about is biological reality," John J. Bursch, a special state attorney, told the court.

The underlying rationale for state marriage laws is not about adults pledging a lasting commitment to each other or fostering a stable household, he said. It is only about "binding children to their biological mom and dad."

On Friday, the justices meet behind closed doors to discuss the marriage cases and to vote on whether to uphold or strike down the remaining state laws denying marriage to same-sex couples.

During Tuesday's arguments, some key members of the court, particularly Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, expressed qualms about a ruling that would declare a constitutional right for same-sex marriage.

But when the justices go around the conference table and state their views, many analysts expect the majority, including Kennedy, will set aside those doubts. If that happens, the chief reason probably will be that they could not accept the state's narrow -- and, to some, surprising -- explanation for what marriage is all about.

In constitutional law, states may usually enforce legal distinctions among their citizens,

so long as they have a "rational basis" for doing so. A state may legally say, for example, that people over a certain age must be retested to prove they can still safely drive.

Finding a rational basis for a law is usually not hard. But in case after case over the last few years, lawyers for states have turned in circles trying to give a rationale for denying marriage licenses to committed gay couples.

Their problem is that the Supreme Court, led by Kennedy, has backed them into a corner.

In 2003, Kennedy wrote a landmark opinion for the court that struck down the last state laws that made gay sex a crime.

In doing so, he wrote that moral disapproval is not a valid justification for discriminatory laws that "demean" gay couples. Previous court decisions had ruled out another possible justification: that a law or practice has been customary for many years.

When the 2003 decision was announced, Justice Antonin Scalia, in his dissent, predicted that eliminating moral disapproval as a rightful basis for a law would open the door to same-sex marriage. And, indeed, a few months later the highest court of Massachusetts became the first to declare gay couples had a right to marry.

That set in motion state-bystate challenges to laws limiting marriage to a man and woman.

As the laws were steadily struck down, lawyers defending them scrambled to come up with a rational basis they could assert that did not rely on tradition alone or on the state's view of homosexuality as sinful.

They settled on procreation: Opposite-sex couples need to marry because they can have children by accident, the argument goes. The state wants to encourage them to wed, so it can legally limit marriage to them alone.

In the current case, Michigan has denied a marriage

license to two women, Jayne Rowse and April DeBoer, who are raising four foster children who had been abandoned by their mothers. The women, both nurses, were permitted to adopt the children, but only as individuals, not as a couple.

When asked why the state would exclude these women from marrying, Bursch insisted the decision had nothing to do with disapproval of their relationship. The fact the women were gay was not the problem, he said.

"Oh, gosh, no. The state doesn't care about your sexual orientation," Bursch told Justice Elena Kagan. "We're not drawing distinctions based on the identity, the orientation or the choices of anyone. It's not meant to exclude."

The state's concern, he said, is that allowing the women to marry would have an effect on the rest of society. It would "delink the idea that we're binding children with their biological mom and dad."

But what about adopted children, asked Justice Stephen G. Breyer. Shouldn't their parents also be allowed to marry?

"We love adoptions. Adopted parents are heroic," Bursch said, but "that's an entirely different social issue."

If opposite-sex adoptive parents marry, the state doesn't see a problem with de-linking marriage and procreation in people's minds, but same-sex couples marrying would pose that problem, he explained.

The more Bursch spoke, the less convinced several of the justices sounded.

At one point, Kennedy said he was waiting to hear "some kind of rational or important distinction." When Bursch tried, Kennedy politely disagreed.

The premise "that only opposite-sex couples can have a bonding with the child," Kennedy said, "that's very interesting, but it's just a wrong premise."

“I originally decided to write a piece commemorating the centennial, but also using Armenian music. And that grew into organizing the concert,” Bohigian said.

Fresno State student Nathaniel Musso performed with Bohigian as a pianist.

“It was really neat working

with him,” Musso said. “I think he has done a good job of getting the ensemble going. We were performing this to commemorate a major event. It’s something that’s really important to a lot of people in Fresno, because Fresno has a really strong Armenian community.”

In addition to helping with construction and design, the students developed the EVC station website, brochures and

signage.

Fresno State student Akin Abode helped with advertising and promoting the project.

Abode said the project is important for Fresno State and the Central Valley.

“Hopefully Fresno can get more charging stations, and that will influence dealers,” Abode said. “If they don’t have

electric cars at their dealerships, they might transfer, and we will be more green. Because in Fresno the air quality is bad, and that would help that.”

The cost for charging at the station at Fresno State will be $1 per hour.

Drivers will be required to move their car as soon as it is charged.

Artists shine with senior art show

By Desiree Herroz @desireeherroz

Fresno State’s Conley Art Gallery hosted their last art exhibit of the semester showcasing graduating students of the art department for the Young Masters 2015 Senior Art Show, hosted by the Art Gallery Techniques class at Fresno State.

A plethora of different art mediums and designs will be on display now through May 6 to commemorate and send off the seniors in their last hurrah as Fresno State students.

Emily Small, a studio art major with an emphasis in sculpture design said she will take away much from her experience at the Fresno State art department.

Small said she was excited to hear that her painting made it into the gallery because she normally works with sculpting.

Professors like Chris Morgan and Jeff Hunter are just a few people she was inspired by while working on her degree.

Small’s hand in the art world ranges from gallery art, including sculpting and painting to theatre design.

Emily will be attending San Diego State’s scenic design graduate program in the fall working in theatre art.

“I am so excited about graduate school,” Small said. “I do theatre for fun because it’s very applicable and theatre is exciting.”

Erin Foster, printmaking major and member of the Print and Glory club, a club dedicated to graphic prints and relief printing with wood, said she was really excited to get into the gallery show.

“It’s nice that’s it’s up there — it’s kind

of like a starting point,” Foster said of her piece displayed in the gallery. “This piece helped me to start and figure out my direction which I didn’t know before.”

Using old printmaking techniques, Foster and the Print and Glory club created and sold graphic t-shirts at the gallery show on-the-spot with other cool and unique merchandise made by club members.

“We carve out wood blocks with carving tools, ink them up and print them on t-shirts live,” Foster said. “We’re continuing the process of old printmaking techniques with fine art.”

Foster plans to get into the credential program to teach art to eager young students and individuals in the classroom.

“They don’t ever teach this in high school,” Foster said. “It’s inspiring because we have people who have never seen this done before and anyone can join the club.”

Javier Lopez, another student in Fresno State’s art department, had a six-foot charcoal drawing of the Mexican president in memory of the 43 students who disappeared and were killed in Mexico.

“They haven’t found the students, and I wanted to do this to point out the face of fear in society,” Lopez said. “It’s something I like depicting in my work and something I want to deal with more.”

Lopez’s piece was darkly represented with a pop of color coming off of bullets falling from the Mexican president’s hand and a sash of the Mexico flag wrapped around his chest.

“I wanted to make this piece life-size,” Lopez said. “I titled it the Mexican Corruption and the idea behind it was everything that was going on in Mexico.”

REVIEW

By Troy Pope @darktroy

  Sometimes you feel like having a hoppy IPA, other times you want a dark, malty stout. But a lot of people just want to drink a more casual beer like Coors or Budweiser.

If you’d like to buy a beer that doesn’t have such an overwhelming flavor profile, but still try something new and different from the norm, Lucky Buddha is for you.

The first thing you’ll notice isn’t the color of the beer, but the beer bottle itself. The solid green bottle features no large label, but instead is in itself in the shape of the Laughing Buddha.

The beer’s popularity probably stems from the unique bottle, but it keeps people coming back because it’s incredibly easy to drink.

This Asian-style lager pours a very transparent gold with the mild aroma of an American lager.

SAN FRANCISCO,

Lucky Buddha Beer satisfies the belly

When you take your first sip, you’ll be surprised by how smooth it is.

It’s incredibly bubbly -- more so than most beers. It almost has the level of carbonation you’d expect from club soda.

In fact, its incredible smoothness is one of its pitfalls. The beer is so smooth that it almost tastes like nothing at all. If the aroma were any lighter, you would forget you’re drinking beer at all.

You instantly forget what the beer tastes like after you finish.

At least Lucky Buddha is refreshing, and it’s a good choice for someone wanting to get his or her feet wet with craft beer. Its alcohol volume is only 4.8 percent; it makes a nice session beer.

The beer is produced in the Thousand Island Lake in China.

The beer’s maker, Lucky Drinkco, says, “If one rubs the Laughing Buddha’s great belly, it brings forth wealth, good luck and prosperity.”

You can find the beer in stores around town, generally in 6-packs. It isn’t the greatest beer in the world, but it’s definitely worth trying it.

Hub doubles as tech classroom HUB from Page 1 that if they wanted to learn an app they are most likely going to download it and use it themselves, rather than go to a one-hour training on it,” said Christopher Vieira, the DISCOVERe Hub’s manager.

So, Vieira said, the Hub decided to revamp its approach and change the material it was teaching. Now the DISCOVERe Hub not only gives students and faculty the opportunity to learn about app and tablet use, but also has implemented in-depth software and technology use to its program.

Bryant Allen, an assistant administrative project coordinator for Fresno State President Joseph Castro’s office, attended an Adobe InDesign workshop and left the training with a grasp on how to use the new software.

“That’s very unusual for me, and I was able to go back and

recreate it with ease,” Allen said.

“There was an emphasis on quality of the training and not speed.”

Vieira explained that if students want to become graphic designers, they need to learn Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign, but sometimes professors don’t have enough time to spend more than 20 minutes introducing new programs in class before giving the students assignments.

“The trainings are outside help that they don’t have to pay for,” said Cristian Juarez, a freshman information systems major. “It’s good for them to learn more, and the trainings are really in-depth, so they will get the practice they need.”

The DISCOVERe Hub’s goal is to help undergraduate and graduate students become proficient in the software used in their careers in order to become more prepared for the career market and to heighten their chances of

landing a career after college.

The workshops are now broken down by majors, including graphic design, mass communications, music, business and computer science.

The DISCOVERe Hub also plans to group apps with similar usage into one training in order for students to see the benefits of some apps over others. This way, Vieira said, students can get the most out of the technology available to them.

Vieira said that he hopes to hire new students next semester who are proficient in software to continue to train and expand the program.

“We have never seen anything to the scale that we are doing it at, which is committing day-in, day-out to doing trainings every single day,” Vieira said. “We are pioneers in that area, and I think we are definitely breaking some new ground.”

2015 NFL DRAFT

A NEW CL

ASS UNVE

ILED Stephen M. Dowell • Orlando Sentinel/TNS

Former Florida State quarterback, national champion and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston was selected first overall in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thursday night at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.

Questions answered as Winston, Mariota selected in NFL Draft

By Collegian Staff @TheCollegian

For the first time since 2012, a quarterback was drafted No. 1 overall in the NFL, when Florida State’s Jameis Winston -- a 2013 Heisman Trophy winner -- earned the honor after being selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2015 NFL Draft on Thursday.

The event, which took place in Chicago for the first time since 1964, saw every team get an incoming draftee except the Buffalo Bills (who traded their pick in 2014 to eventually get Sammy Watkins) and the Seattle Seahawks (who traded their first-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for tight end Jimmy Graham).

The Tennessee Titans also nabbed their franchise quarterback by selecting former Oregon Duck and 2014 Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, who led his team to the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship game this past season.

A surprise came when USC product Leonard Williams fell to first-year head coach Todd Bowles and the New York Jets at pick No. 6. Williams was the No. 1 prospect on ESPN

NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.’s Big Board and was expected to be gone after the first couple of picks.

Defensive end standouts Randy Gregory from Nebraska and Shane Ray of Missouri fell after being projected as Top-10 picks after drug-related incidents prior to the draft.

Ray was drafted No. 23 by the Denver Broncos, who traded up from their original spot at No. 28, and Gregory completely fell out of the first round.

The running back position made its presence felt Thursday night, as two backs were drafted in the Top 20. Georgia’s Todd Gurley, who is still rehabbing an ACL injury suffered last season, was selected 10th overall by the St. Louis Rams. Gurley is known for his physical running style and blend of power and speed.

Also, with former starting running back Ryan Mathews now gone, the San Diego Chargers needed to find a replacement. They did so by trading up from No. 17 to No. 15 to land explosive Wisconsin Badgers’ running back Melvin Gordon III. San Diego gave up their No. 17 overall pick along with their fourth round pick and next year’s fifth round pick in exchange for Gordon.

The Oakland Raiders added an option for quarterback,

and former Fresno State Bulldog, Derek Carr. They drafted Alabama’s Amari Cooper with the fourth pick of the draft.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Miami native put up 1,736 yards and 15 touchdowns in 26 career games for the Crimson Tide.

The New England Patriots closed the draft by picking defensive tackle Malcom Brown, who was projected to be in the top 15 throughout the week. The 21-year-old Texas native attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he became the first defensive tackle to lead the team in tackles for loss and sacks since 1984. Brown will likely be an attempt to fill in the void left when longtime Patriot Vince Wilfork signed with the Houston Texans last March.

Like 2014, Fresno State went without a draft pick in the first round. The Mountain West Conference was zeroed in the opening 32, as no school from the league had a draftee.

The Atlantic Coast and Pac-12 conferences had the most players drafted with nine apiece.

Former Bulldogs Derron Smith, Josh Harper and Tyeler Davison are all expected to be drafted in the coming days.

The draft will continue with Rounds 2 and 3 taking place tonight at 4 p.m., and Rounds 4-7 on Saturday.

The Bulldog Bulletin Madchen Ly earns First-Team All-MW selection

Three days after she secured a spot in the 2015 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Regionals for the second year in a row, the Mountain West picked Fresno State senior Madchen Ly as a First-Team All-Conference selection.

This marks Ly’s fourth-straight all-conference selection. She was named sec-

ond-team All-Mountain West in her sophomore and junior seasons, and was named the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year and a first-teamer in Fresno State’s final season in the WAC in 2011.

The Clovis native, who placed sixth at the Mountain West Championships last week, is one of just five golfers in the league to earn the honor.
