Fresno State Colle ge of Arts and Humanities and the Department of Music hosted the annual Jazz-O-Ween Wednesday. The concert was performed in the concert hall at Fresno State and featured both the Fresno State Jazz Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble. Directed and hosted by Alan Durst since 2008, the concert included a mixture of inspirational vocal and instrumental jazz music. To keep with the Halloween spirit, the audience was encouraged to wear costumes to the performance as well as the band members. Some band members took full advantage of this and took a more laidback approach to an otherwise reserved atmosphere. Durst thinks everyone in the community could benefit from attending performances like this to expose themselves to a great genre of music. “I recommend these types of events to all of the greater Fresno community— students and non-students,” Durst said. “Jazz is one of America’s only true original art forms— bred and matured in the United States. It is a conglomeration of African rhythm and western— European harmony.” Durst also discussed the importance of these performances and jazz music that

On Wednesday night while local neighborhood kids traveled door-todoor in search of Halloween treats, Fresno State student organizations did the same, but for canned food items for the Bulldog Pantry. This is the third year that the Bulldog Pantry has coordinated and worked with student organizations to put on “Trick-or-Treating” for canned foods. With the help of volunteers and student organizations the Bulldog Pantry brings in more than 1,000 cans each year during the Halloween drive. Esmit Gamboa, Bulldog Pantry student coordinator, hoped that with outside help from student organizations this year would be just as successful. Though this year’s drive did not quite exceed that of previous years, the students were still able to bring in about 1,000 cans for the Bulldog Pantry. “It is great, I think this is an activity that takes a lot of time and effort and it is great that people are willing help, especially groups like ASI,” Gamboa said. Student organizations like Associated Students, Inc. participated this year by getting several other clubs and organizations on campus to help trick or treat.

The Collegian talks Prop. 30 with Welty By Ricardo Cano The Collegian

“It’s my intent – and I’ll be here until next summer – that by the time I finish up we will get to as stable a fiscal situation as we possibly can,” said Fresno State President John Welty. Roe Borunda / The Collegian

Fresno State president John Welty sat down and talked with The Collegian on Wednesday to discuss Proposition 30 – introduced on the Nov. 6 ballot by Gov. Jerry Brown. The tax initiative proposed would increase the state sales tax by a quarter of a cent and levy an income tax increase on wealthy taxpayers who make more than $250,000 annually in the hopes of

stabilizing future funds to public education. If the tax measure fails to pass, the California State University system stands to lose $250 million to budget cuts. For Fresno State, it would equate to about an $8 million base budget reduction, Welty said. The threat of another budget reduction would contribute to “what’s been almost a $1 billion See WELTY, Page 3

Suggested improvements from local community leaders By Haley Lambet The Collegian “Why are we so poor and what can we do about it?” That was the title question of the town hall meeting held Thursday evening at the Satellite Student Union. The answers given by the four speakers focused on the latter half of the question. The meeting was moderated by Bill McEwen, a columnist for The Fresno Bee. In his opening statement, he mentioned that Fresno’s current unemployment is 13.1 percent.

This helps establish Fresno as a place where business should invest. “High speed rail is going to create a lot of jobs… That’s a significant benefit to the Central Valley,” Villines said. Villines also spoke of the need for more technology companies. He suggested technology fir ms could piggy-back off of agriculture, developing improvements for water and solar energy.

Save local libraries, vote ‘yes’ on B WEB-SPE@K By Danielle Rapue Major in mass communication & journalism, public relations Do you really want your local library to close? You may have heard about voting “yes” on Measure B, but you know about Plan C? Plan C isn’t something voters will be voting on — it is a plan that Chief Librarian Lauren Prysiazny will put into place if Measure B is not passed by a 2/3 vote on the Nov. 6 election. Measure B, a Fresno County ballot initiative, if passed by voters, will continue to provide just over 50 percent of the Fresno County Public Library system’s budget. In the previous fiscal year, this tax provided the county library with $13 million, providing 54 percent of the $24 million dollar budget. As of March 2013, the initiative expires and it is up to Fresno County voters to decide if it will continue. The tax is a 1/8 of every cent of sales tax. That is $0.08 on a $100 purchase. The tax that is collected for Measure B will stay in Fresno County and will only be spent on the Fresno County Public Library system. Should Measure B fail to

pass, Prysiazny will be forced to apply Plan C. The exact details of which branches would close are unknown. However, of the 34 libraries in the Fresno County Public Library system it is speculated that 17 of the branches will close their doors to library patrons. It is foreseen that the branches in smaller towns like Parlier and Ker man would be closed and newer branches such as the Woodward park branch will remain open. In addition to the closing of the branches, 51 percent of the library staff would be laid off. Of the branches that do remain open, their hours of operation will also be reduced. Special programs for the blind, children and job-seekers will be also affected. T h e b o o k m o b i l e t h at delivers materials to library patrons at elder care facilities, day-care facilities and rural areas will also be cut. The affect that this measure not passing would have on our community will be vast. Especially for those who don’t have a voice in this election. Many of Fresno County’s ineligible voters are

growth of knowledge? What some residents may not realize is the actual extent of the library experience. If you are under the impression that books and computer access is all the library has to offer, you are mistaken! Fresno County patrons can check out books, CDs, DVDs, audio books and eBooks. Do you have a Kindle, iPad, computer or smart phone? With a free Amazon Kindle reading application you can check out free digital copies of books for up to three weeks. The digital copies are available in other eBook formats as well. The titles expire and are automatically retur ned to the library digitally, so this means no late fees for patrons who forget to return materials on time. The library has something Fresno County residents of any age can enjoy. Please join me in supporting the Fresno County Public Library system and vote yes for Measure B so that these resources will remain available to all.

COMMENT: The Collegian is a forum for student expression. http://collegian.csufresno.edu

Response: ‘Undocumented students: Now is the time...’ Ker: “I think this is a step forward and an opportunity in which all undocumented students should take advantage. The Dream Act keeps getting shut down by Congress, and I think by Obama doing this, it’s a step in the right direction. Because it is not easy out here (considering the fact that I’m also undocumented), I applied for it and recieved my EAD card. I filled out the application by myself, even though people were telling me to get a lawyer. Just make sure you read the application really careful and sign it. I’m currently waiting for my social security number. They said it might take four weeks. To all those applying, good luck and don’t listen to all the negative comments this process has caused. I think it was high time something like this occurred while everyone was trying to avoid it.”

Response: ‘Reflections on Penn State Scandal’ Caroline Redbrook: “We can help see that ‘this never happens again’ by helping the victims to come forward. Now there are Sandusky victims going back to the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. Penn State needs to open up a one-year window, as other states have done, to allow them to prosecute even though the statute of limitations has run out.”

active library patrons. Patrons under the age of 18 make up a good portion of the patrons that can be found inside the library on any given afternoon. These children depend on the library for resources they may not otherwise have access to, such as internet access, digital media, academic database subscriptions and a safe environment to access knowledge. Some patrons even seek refuge from troubled home circumstances at the library, knowing they have a safe, quiet, free environment to go and access knowledge and entertainment. In Fresno’s brutal 100+ summers, patrons without air conditioning also seek the library as a place to cool off and make use of the free materials to which they have access. Even if you never use the library, please think of those who do use the services and need you to speak out on their behalf.

WELTY: Fresno State president hopes for CSU stability CONTINUED from page 1 reduction to the Califor nia State University over the last several years,” Welty said. “We’re in the worst financial situation that we’ve ever been in since I’ve been here,” Welty said. “The consequences of the decision that’s made on Nov. 6 are probably as large as any time in the 22 years I’ve been here.“ Proposition 30’s passage would help prevent course reductions and the possibility of cutting back around 500 to 800 students on future enrollment, Welty said. Welty said plans have been made “to get us through the current fiscal year using our reserves.” But for the 2013-14 school year and beyond, no contingency plans have been finalized to help offset potential budget cuts. Recent polls suggest that support for the proposition has been on a steady decline.

A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll published on Oct. 25 showed that 46 percent of registered voters support Brown’s tax initiative. The poll’s margin of error was 2.9 percent. Brown has tried to encourage, final push to garner support of his tax initiative. He visited four major California cities in one day on Oct. 23, and conducting conference calls with student publications from both the CSU and UC systems in recent weeks. “I think, in the Central Valley, it will be a very close vote just because this valley tends to be a little more conservative,” Welty said. “I think, unfortunately, it doesn’t value education at the same value that education is valued in other parts of the state. “I think even if it were to break even in the Valley, there’s a good chance then that it’ll pass given the demographics of the rest of the state.” The CSU is not the only system facing budget cuts.

Califor nia Community Colleges stand to lose $338 million in budget cuts. Enrollment at Fresno City College has dropped by more than 4,000 students, said Tony Vang, the college’s president. Community colleges, required to accept all high school graduates, will face increasing cuts in classes without the proposition’s passage. Fresno City is part of the State Center Community College District that houses community college campuses closest to Fresno State and includes Reedley C o l l e g e , M a d e r a C e n t e r, Oakhurst Center and Willow International. Though transfer students who have completed two full years of community college will receive priority admission, incoming freshman will most likely receive the brunt of possible enrollment cuts, Welty said. Welty said that community colleges “can only offer so

many courses. So what happens is students may want to go to a community college but there’s no courses for them to take,” Welty said. “We’re going to be faced with the reality that thousands of students that want to go to college are going to have a hard time finding a place in a public college or university.” Brown has presented the passage of his tax initiative in the form of an ultimatum: “either yes, then the money flows into schools. Or no, and it flows out of schools by the billions. There’s no middle path here,” he told local Fresno media on Oct. 23. Welty announced his plans to retire in the summer of 2013 before the start of the fall semester. “I think in the last four years there’s been a year-after-year disinvestment in public higher education in the state,” Welty said. “ H o p e f u l ly i t wo n ’ t g e t worse. Hopefully we can reach

a period of stability so we can say to students the courses are there. “It’s my intent – and I’ll be here until next summer – that by the time I finish up we will get to as stable a fiscal situation as we possibly can. Depending upon the outcome of next week’s election, we’ll begin immediately toward taking steps to deal with whatever the reality is that we have to face.” For the full interview with President Welty on Proposition 30, visit The Collegian Online at collegian.csufresno.edu.

JAZZ: Musicians perform concert dressed in their Halloween best CONTINUED from page 1 has a long history in the United States. “Jazz is such a vital part of the United States’ culture that in 1987, a congressional resolution was passed to declare jazz ‘a rare and valuable national American treasure’ sanctioning it by the State Department. It is an enjoyable way to be a part of our great nations culture,” Durst said. Band members joined in the festivities by dressing in costume themselves. The ensemble include performances from students dressed as Mario,

Luigi, Waldo and of course the Phantom of the Opera. Wearing costumes, the performers were in good company as the director of the performance, Alan Durst, dressed as an angry bird. Barbara Shinaver, a senior music education major at Fresno State, perfor med at the event and plans to pursue a graduate degree in music. Shinaver has perfor med all four years during Jazz-O-Ween and strongly suppor ts the cause. “Jazz-O-Ween is a Fresno State tradition,” Shinaver said. “We try to do a concert around

Halloween and we got lucky this year that it actually was Halloween.” Shinaver thinks that Jazz-OWeen gives the performers a chance to have an audience to perform in front of, yet still have a good time. “We love to perform. That’s why we do these ensembles. We really love it. People come, show up and listen to our music. This one is especially fun for the people to attend,” Shinaver said. Attendance included friends and family of the performers but also covered a wide range of jazz supporters in the com-

munity including Fresno State students. Taylor Johnson, A freshman at Fresno State, has been attending the event for the last few years and continues to attend for entertainment and support. “I‘ve been coming to it (JazzO-Ween) since my sophomore year of high school and a lot of my friends are in it this year,” Johnson said. Johnson enjoys blues and jazz music and thinks that JazzO-Ween is a great way to hear some of that genre while still having the freedom to wear costumes and have fun. “It’s a really casual, fun music

experience. It’s not like a stuf fy concert. It’s really laid back and entertaining to watch people try and play their instruments in masks. I think this is the most welcoming concert,” Johnson said. The Jazz-O-Ween performance started at 8 p.m. and included 11 different songs, most of which involved solos by many of the performers. For any questions or information on upcoming jazz performances, contact Alan Durst in the music department at 559278-2537.

ed the need for infrastructure improvements as well as more food processing companies. These companies could work in conjunction with agriculture. While agriculture uses seasonal labor or has become automated, food processing would provide per manent work for residents of Fresno County. Eager also mentioned the need for skilled labor and technical education. “There also need to be a push for technical schools. If you

have people who shouldn’t and don’t want to go to college that there is an alternative for them that they don’t have to be ashamed of,” Eager said. Rounding of f the meeting was Mark Somma, professor of political science and economic development as part of the Master’s of Public Administration program at Fresno State. Somma focused on the need for improvements in parks and recreation. He spoke about the way in which parks, walking paths and safe river access all play a part in bringing people

to an area. “Build a community where people want to come to visit, to live. They will bring their skills, their businesses and their entrepreneurship with them,” Somma said. At the end of the meeting, seven students asked questions. These ranged from the streamlining of environmental regulations and business permits to healthcare funding. Over 200 students attended this town hall meeting put on by the Smittcamp Family Honors College weekly colloquium program.

Ashley Green is an intern of community relations for ASI and is in charge of organizing the event and getting student organizations to participate. “I think it is important, especially as Fresno State students, to get involved in the community we live in and give back to them so they can see us participating actively,” Green said. Each g roup was given a map and assigned to a specific neighborhood. On Sunday they passed out fliers to their assigned houses to notify them that they would be coming around on Halloween to pick up cans. On Halloween night

those same groups dressed up in costumes and collected cans to bring back to the Bulldog Pantry. The Bulldog Pantry is a student-run food bank that gives out groceries every Saturday morning to the surrounding community. With the holidays around the corner, the pantry wants to make sure they have enough to give out. The more they collect from outside sources, the less they have to purchase from the food bank. “It means a lot because coming down toward the end of the semester, we run low on funds, and so events like these help us out a lot,” Gamboa said. The Bulldog Pantry will also

put on several more events before the semester ends. It plans on hosting “Caroling for Cans” where volunteers will go to each department on campus and sing in exchange for canned food items and will also collect gloves to pass out to children for the cold wintery months. “It is kind of a little tradition and it is fun, and it helps us gather a lot of food for the community,” Gamboa said. If you are interested in donating or would like to volunteer for future events, contact the Bulldog Pantry at thebulldogpantry@gmail.com or 559-224-9052.

Sand, skill and fire: the art of glassblowing By Cameron Woolsey The Collegian On their own, sand, silica, sodium and calcium can’t accomplish much. But mixed together, with a little help from the ancient element of fire, these simple, natural materials melt into molten glass, which can then be formed into works of art. For several years, glassblowing instructor Joseph Morel has passed along 30 years worth of expertise to his students, demonstrating skills that only real-life experience can teach. “I introduced a lot of different techniques that were previously not introduced to the students, and it really took off,” Morel said. “It’s still broadening.” One of the major changes in the class, however, is not just how it’s taught. When the class dropped some pre-requisites, students from other majors quickly lined up to try their hands— and lungs—at the molten art. Senior Kohl Berry, who is majoring in family science, got interested in glassblowing while taking a few other classes nearby at the Conley Art Building. “It was out of curiosity,” Berry said. “I was taking some art classes at the time and I had seen people out here doing their thing and it was really intriguing. So I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll give it a shot.’” Berry said that his semester is her fourth with the class. She plans on taking it again in the spring. “I am in love with it,” she said. Berry said she was surprised at the challenge behind creating glass art.

Roe Borunda / The Collegian

Glassblowing instructor Joseph Morel shows his art class how to blend two different colored strands of glass together. Morel uses his 30 years of experience to teach the challenging art style.

“It kind of humbles you because there’s still so much you can do with it,” she said. “I feel like I still have a ton to learn.” The biggest challenge, she said, was learning how to be patient, and how to learn from her mistakes. But the experience has been worth it. “I wasn’t expecting to really fall in love with this art form, and really learn as much as I can,” Berry said. “It’s not something you can do every day,” she said. “It’s kind of a once-in-alifetime opportunity because you can

always pick up something, say draw or paint, but it’s not every day you’re going to run into a furnace and blow some glass.” To watch someone create art from glass is not something typically experienced. The movement of the crafter’s body and arms must remain delicate, especially when dealing with a dangerous medium. It is a 2,000-year-old art form, and an eye-catching experience to behold. “I saw it just from walking by—I saw people work with the glass and it

just intrigued me,” said junior Roger Heckel, who is majoring in art with an emphasis in studio. On the first day of instruction, Morel showed the glassblowing class how to make a penguin. Heckel said the students scoffed, confident in their belief that creating the glass bird would be an easy task. But they soon learned that it only looks easy when a master is at work. “As soon as you put your tools to the glass, it’s like a whole different ball game,” Heckel said. “The bigger you go, the more difficult it is and a lot more variables can go wrong.” The class has been working mostly on dishware such as plates and bowls. “Mostly stuff that can hold something or has a purpose,” Heckel said. Heckel said that he has learned a lot about shaping glass art, a talent he said would have been difficult without the careful guidance of Morel. “I wish a lot of professors on campus took his approach to (teaching) people,” he said. Morel uses a hands-on approach to instruction. His friendly demeanor deflates any stress that often comes from forming and shaping glass that can reach around 2,000 degrees. Heckel said he fell into the art—it was almost natural. “I like making stuff with my hands,” he said. “It’s glass; it’s a really difficult medium to come across, and so this was like an opportunity to try something new. So I just started doing it—I fell in love with it.”

Professor gives insight to Rosenberg story By Jeff Smith The Collegian History professor Lori Clune gave a presentation Wednesday about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed at the height of the Cold War for conspiracy to commit espionage during a time of war. The Rosenbergs were executed in June, 1953 under suspicion of passing information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. The lecture, in the Henry Madden Library, was put on by the Literature, Arts, and Cultures of the Americas program (LACA) at Fresno State as a part of The Culture of the Americas Colloquium. Led by director Alex Espinoza, the program organizes presentation with professors and guest speakers about the research they are doing outside of teaching their classes. “We want students to see that we don’t just teach,” Espinoza said. “That often times, there is this notion that professors just teach and that is all you do, but we actively engage in research around the things we are actually teaching. It provides an opportunity for students to see another side of their professor that isn’t just lecture.” Clune, who earned her doctorate in U.S. history from UC Davis, went into detail on the case involving the Rosenbergs from a different angle – Latin America’s perception of and response to the issue. “It is an interesting way to highlight this case, particularly how it was treated in Latin America because of the stance the Pope made and that kind of

thing makes things more complicated,” Clune said. As Clune was in the process of revising her doctoral thesis and looking for more information about the Rosenbergs in 2007, she hit a roadblock when documents about the couple in the National Archives seemed to have went missing, apparently removed by the State Department. Two years later, in the fall of 2009, Clune received word from the archivist she was working with at the National Archives in College Park, Md. that he had discovered two boxes of material

that could be related to her topic. The boxes contained more than 900 documents which no researcher had ever seen before. Among these were memos and letters from U.S. embassies and consulates around the world, which expressed the disapproval of the Rosenbergs’ executions from the governments and people of more than 45 countries. “I was very lucky to have such a committed archivist,” Clune said. “It took many months to go through each document and create a spreadsheet to chart the information.” These never-before-seen documents have allowed Clune to delve deeper into the international reaction to the Rosenberg case than any historian has before. The Rosenbergs, who were communists, were the only civilians to be executed during the “Red Scare” in the 1950s when most of America was worried about the spread of communism throughout the world and in America

through propaganda and spies. “The amount of fear from communism at this time, I don’t think can be overestimated,” Clune said. While many people in the United States agreed that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg should be sentenced to death by the electric chair, Pope Pius XII disagreed with the judge’s ruling causing protests to break out across Latin America, where many people were Catholic. Dalia Haitayan, a history graduate student, attended the talk. “Every time I get to see faculty present their subject, I always get excited,” Haitayan said. “I think she kept the audience engaged. The way she told the Rosenberg story in relation to Central America, it was a refreshing presentation.” Espinoza said LACA is designed to be an interdisciplinary faculty collaborative where professors can get together to share their research. LACA plans to make these presentations a regular event on campus with professors from many different departments. “Next semester, we are going to have a presentation by Brad Jones of the history department as well as a graduate student,” Espinoza said. “We want to give graduate students an opportunity to present their work, so they can start professionalizing themselves.” There are three presentations this semester, although the organization has been receiving requests from faculty around the university. In the future, there may be more. Later this month, Keith Jordan, of the art and design department, will be speaking on Toltec art. Espinoza said, “When students see their professors questioning things, why certain things are the way they are, and they then go out and pursue that knowledge to better their scholarship, I think it’s important so students can see their professors as more than lecturers.” Pr o f e s s o r L o r i C l u n e speaks to an audience member after her presentation on Wednesday, in which she shared her current history research with colleagues and students. Clune took questions after her lecture and spoke individually with curious attendees.

Bulldogs down Wolfpack in three sets By Collegian Staff

After concluding a first half of Mountain West Conference play with a four-set loss at home to UNLV, the Fresno State women’s volleyball is riding a three-game win streak into the

final portion of the season. Fresno State swept Nevada 3-0 on Tuesday night (25-23, 25-10, 25-16). Nevada, Fresno State coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell’s alma mater, is currently in dead last in Mountain West

The Wolf Pack dropped to 4-19 overall this season and has only won one game in the Mountain West (San Diego State, 3-2) In a competitive first set, the Bulldogs started off trailing by three. Wolf Pack middle blocker Tessa Lea’ea scored two kills to usher in a 4-1 lead. After competing in a first set that featured seven score ties, the Bulldogs managed to gain separation after a tie at 14. An attack error by Nevada middle blocker Janelle Batista gave the Bulldogs a 15-14 lead for the first time in the set. Fresno State scored the set point on a 25-23 first set win on a kill by junior right side blocker Megan Callahan. Callahan and middle blocker Lauren Albertson led the offense with 10 kills apiece. Outside hitter Korrin wild contributed nine kills and 13 digs, and senior setter Barbara Alcantara led the team with 34 assists. Overall, the team hit .345 of their attacks. The final two sets were dominated by Fresno State’s fast and early starts. The Bulldogs got off to a 12-4 lead in the second set through the hitting of Alberton and Callahan. The Bulldogs won 25-10 in a set that ended with an attack error by Nevada setter Taylor Rothfuss. Wild hit three of her four service aces in the final set, a

Giants celebrate World Series win with parade By Matt Kawahara McClatchy-Tribune

Were you a bit behind on sporting news, you might have thought those were witches’ brooms bobbing along the sidewalks Wednesday, not symbols of the Giants’ World Series sweep. Or that San Franciscans have a thing for pandas and giraffes, rather than the Kung Fu Panda and the Baby Giraffe. Amid the roar of their city and swirls of orange and black confetti, the Giants rolled down the middle of Market Street in a Halloween-day championship parade that drew hundreds of thousands of fans clamoring to fete the World Series winners. Fans crowd e d t h e s i d e walk 20 people deep in places, cl i m b e d n ew s p ap e r r a ck s and bus-stop structures, and craned their necks out of office windows to catch a glimpse of floats and cars carrying the Giants’ personnel and players. It was the second such celebration in the past three seasons for San Francisco, which

had waited more than 50 years for its first. “It’s a cherry on the sundae,” said Wendy Cook Wittmann, 39, of Alameda, sitting in a folding chair along the parade route. City and team dignitaries passed first, among them Hall of Famers Willie McCovey and Willie Mays. Manager Bruce Bochy held the Commissioner’s Trophy above his head as he rode by to cheers of “Bo-chy!” The players followed, riding with their families in open convertibles, waving to the crowd. The civic pride was infectious. Jim Harbaugh, the coach of the 49ers, was at the wheel of the car carrying Giants first baseman Brandon Belt, and quarterback Alex Smith drove pitcher Matt Cain. While police declined to give an estimate of the crowd size, citing department policy, Sgt. Michael Andraychak, a Police Department spokesman, did note that they made about 20 arrests on charges that included public intoxication and bat-

“T

hat one was surreal. This one feels more real.” — Ray Mirpuri, Giants fan tery. Andraychak said crowds were mostly cooperative. The Giants said the crowd numbered approximately a million people, akin to the throng that turned out for the team’s first championship parade in San Francisco in 2010. “That one was sur real,” said Ray Mirpuri, 43, of San Francisco. “This one feels more real.” Did that make it less meaningful? “Oh, no,” said Marshia Herring of Berkeley, in her 60s, wearing a jacket checkered with orange. “No way. We’re the best in the nation. And everybody had us as underdogs.” M a ny c rowd i n g M a rke t

Street took advantage of the parade falling on Halloween, mixing Giants gear with face paint and costumes. The Giants drifted by them to the Civic Center Plaza, where Mayor Ed Lee presented the team with a ceremonial key and broom to the city, the latter a nod to their sweep of the American League champion Detroit Tigers. Addressing the crowd alongside fellow pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, left-hander Barry Zito, a key member of the Giants’ title run after being left off their postseason rosters two years ago, said: “Me and him have kind of been through a couple different states of hell in this game, the lowest of the lows. We’re enjoying the highest of the highs right now.” The outrageousness of 2010, when Aubrey Huff produced his red “rally thong” on stage, was mostly missing. Players thanked the fans and reflected on a season marked by strong team chemistry. Bochy touted the team’s “never say die” attitude and thanked the fans for contributing to “one of the greatest moments of my life.” Toward the end of the program, players came together on stage for one of the exuberant huddles that became

a pregame ritual in the playoffs. Singer Tony Bennett then walked out for a performance of “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” as several players took video and closer Sergio Romo lifted the trophy behind Bennett. As the sun came up We d n e s d ay, p e o p l e w e r e already staking out their spots. Patrick Car ney, 40, said he and his son James left their Danville home about 6:30 a.m. to catch a BART train to the city that was “beyond packed.” “I could barely even move,” said James, 7, who bowed out of his school’s Halloween parade to attend a bigger one. “His teacher said, ‘Go for it,’” Carney said. “She’s a big Giants fan, too. “I’m a teacher,” Car ney added, “and I took the day off.” Will Wittmann, 72, said he drove from Anderson, near Redding, on Tuesday night to attend the parade with his son and daughter-in-law, who urged him to come after he skipped the celebration in 2010. “I don’t know if I’ll come to another one,” Wittmann said. “I don’t mean that to be derogatory, I just don’t know if there’ll be another one soon.” Then he added: “I said that last time.”

Roe Borunda / The Collegian

Ranking 14th in passing and 68th in rushing yards, the ’Dogs bring an electric offense into Saturday’s matchup against Hawaii. Playing its 200th game in Bulldog Stadium, Fresno State will look to continue to feed the energy of the Red Wave to beat the Warriors.

Breakdown: Bulldogs After coming off a solid road win against New Mexico, the Bulldogs will return home to face their rival, Hawaii. Playing its 200th game in Bulldog Stadium, Fresno State will try to continue its seasonlong success at home. Jim Sweeney Field has definitely been kind to the ’Dogs as they have averaged 50 points per game. The Bulldogs have also defeated their opponents by an average margin of 30.5 points. Solid in all three phases of the game, Fresno State brings a strong offense complemented by a ferocious defense. The special teams also adds a second dimension to the attacking scheme as it has scored on a 78-yard punt retur n in the game against Wyoming on Oct. 20. Fresno State will look to break the current series streak in which the visiting team has won the past four games. The Bulldogs have a strong chance at doing this if they have both their offense and defense rolling together. Quar terback Derek Car r, who is having a masterful season. leads all players in the

Hawaii’s passing attack is not much better as quarterback Sean Schroeder has passed for 1,284 yards on 126 completions and nine touchdowns. Schroeder’s quarterback rating is only 101.0 as he has played in only seven games.

1.) Continue the momentum Fresno State enters Saturday’s matcup with a three-game winning streak. In the past three games, the ’Dogs have scored at least 40 or more points. Fresno State needs to continue this offensive momentum at home to win against Hawaii.

2.) Draw energy from the Red Wave The Bulldogs average 50 points a game and they have defeated opponents by an average of 30.5. If Fresno State can attain 25 points by halftime, the ’Dogs should victorious.

Defensively, Hawaii allows a massive amount of points for opposing offenses. Ranking 121st overall, the Warriors give up an average of 42.3 points per game. This flaw could be a major factor in deciding the outcome of the game as the ’Dogs have been dominant at home. Hawaii’s defense is led by senior defensive lineman Paipal Falemalu. He has 20 solo tackles and 5.5 of them have been for a loss. Falemalu also has three sacks and two fumble recoveries. As a whole, the Warriors’ defense has 10 takeaways on the season. If Hawaii hopes to avoid another embarrassing loss, it will need to find a way to stretch the Bulldogs’ secondary with the run game. By punching holes in Fresno State’s defensive line, the War riors can open up their passing game. In addition, if Hawaii can limit the Bulldogs’ ability to create turnovers, the Warriors have a strong chance to claim their second win of the season.

3.) Break the series streak In the rivarly between the Bulldogs and Hawaii, the road team has won the past four games. At home, this season, Fresno State is unbeaten. Something’s got to give and the ’Dogs will look to break the streak by trying to bury Hawaii early on in the game. If they can do this, it should lead to another home win.
