Dia de los Muertos workshop on campus

By Kathy Ayala The Collegian Brightly colored “papel picado,” a Spanish phrase meaning cut paper, and papier-mache skulls – are two art for ms essential to the traditional ancestral celebration of Dia de los Muertos – Day of the Dead.

These art forms are used as decorations in altars, which will be displayed Nov. 1-2 to honor and remember the dead.

In preparation for the display, the Aztec Dance Club offered a Dia de los Muertos workshop to the public, where participants had the opportunity to get hands-on experience creating colorful cut tissue paper and papier-mache skulls. This event gave them the chance to participate and learn about a tradition that dates back thousands of years to the Aztec culture.

Pedro Garcia, a graduate student working toward his master’s in biology and a drummer for the Aztec Dance Club, led the skull-making portion of the workshop.

“We like to collaborate with Fresno State and bring our dance group here to Fresno to bring some culture,” Garcia said.

The club is a community See MUERTOS, Page 5

Theta Chi’s Fresno State chapter revoked Via University Communications T he T heta Chi National Fraternity, with the support of its local alumni leadership, has informed Fresno State that it has revoked the charter for its Fresno chapter.

On Sept. 2, Phillip Dhanens, an 18-year-old Fresno State freshman, died after drinking alcohol at the fraternity’s offcampus house two days before.

Frater nity national re presentatives and alumni of Fresno’s Beta Upsilon chapter informed Paul M. Oliaro, vice president for student affairs, and Carolyn Coon, the dean of students, of the charter revocation before announcing it to current members at a meeting Friday.

“Fresno State concurs with this action by the national organization of Theta Chi,”

Oliaro said. “Given the severity of this tragedy and the circumstances that are coming to light, it is the appropriate course of action.”

The Fresno County Coroner’s Office reported that Mr. Dhanens’ blood-alcohol level was 0.36 at the time of his death and that an autopsy determined he had swelling See THETA CHI, Page 3 Dalton Runberg / Collegian File Photo

Campus political party presidents to debate on crucial Proposition 30

By Collegian Staff

Sergio Robles/ The Collegian

Within the past six years, Theta Chi is the second fraternity at Fresno State to have its chapter revoked of its charter.

All active members are currently considered alumni of Theta Chi.

The presidents of two political party clubs at Fresno State will hold a debate on Thursday about Proposition 30, the proposal that will affect the future budget of the California State University system. The Collegian’s news editor Rogue Morales will moderate the debate, which will begin at 1 p.m.

The debate was organized so that students can get Republican and Democratic points of view and make the best informed decision on their own, said Daniel Harrison, the president of the Fresno State College Republicans.

Sean Kiernan, the president of the College Democrats, said

this is the first debate of its kind between the two clubs in recent years.

Students can submit questions to The Collegian via the comment section if they wish for them to be read during the question-answer portion of the debate.

IS 10 OCTOBER Talk About Prescriptions Month

OPINION EDITOR, LIANA WHITEHEAD • COLLEGIAN-OPINION@CSUFRESNO.EDU

MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2012

Take two, call me in the morning Opinion Editor Liana Whitehead

In recognition of “Talk About Prescriptions Month,” I wanted to share some newfound knowledge concerning America’s pill poppin’ trends.

Worldwide, the pharmaceutical industry has annual worth of $300 billion.

This number is sure to increase over the next decade – possibly even double, according to the World Health Organization.

The United States is home to six of the planet’s largest drug companies: Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Abbott Laboratories, Merck & Co., Eli Lilly and Bristol-Meyers Squibb.

The industry’s expansion is inevitable, according to a study conducted by the American Action Forum.

Pharmaceuticals will continue to boom. Allergan, Inc. and Merck, both U.S. pharmaceutical companies, ranked 448 and 57, respectively, in Fortune 500’s 2012 race.

And as years seem to stroll by, the medical field continues to advance.

This is the question: will this rapid progression benefit or harm Americans?

The advancement of medical

equipment and technology continues, which is much promising and much needed.

And our knowledge of diseases and potential treatments and cures is expanding.

A Nevada-based company recently released a heat signature bra that can possibly detect the presence of breast cancer years before it is seen on a mammogram or MRI, according to the Discovery Channel.

That’s progress.

Prescription drugs in the United States, however, are becoming heavily relied upon and by all ages – even us college students.

Prescriptions effortlessly fly into the hands of billions of people every year – over four billion in 2011, to be exact.

Americans should consider themselves spoiled because today, there is a pill for everything.

As 20-somethings, many of us face issues of depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, weight – the list goes on.

I can think of at least six people I know under 30 who are currently taking anti-anxiety and depression medications.

And that’s just my circle of friends. Image a campus of 20,000.

When did this rise in prescription drug use come about?

And which medications are prescribed most often in the United States?

Over the past two decades, the states have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of medical prescriptions.

In 2010, Americans spent more than $16 billion on antipsychotics, $11 billion on antidepressants and $7 billion for drugs to treat attention-deficit hyperactiv-

ity disorder (ADHD), according to the American Psychological Association.

Sounds scary, does it not? I was initially out to prove that prescription drugs were taking America by storm – the violent kind.

But that’s the glory of research.

Sometimes it feels great to be wrong.

I expected to find that doctors were prescribing more pain medication than anything else.

In reality, nine of the 10 mostprescribed medications in the United States in 2010, according to the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, were treatments for high cholesterol and blood pressure, over and underactive thyroid, angina, heartburn and acid reflux, diabetes and infections, such as strep throat.

All good causes, aside from Hydrocodone, a pain medication that was also on the list.

High volumes of pain killing prescriptions have become a trend in America – not a positive statistic.

And, it does not conceal the fact that many Americans are overmedicating and self-medicating habitually.

Overdosing on prescription painkillers takes 15,000 lives every year, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So, despite the pleasant fact that Americans are receiving proper medical attention for serious medical conditions, others are abusing the advantage.

We are becoming enslaved, addicted to something that was created to help.

It is my hope that the positive statistics continue to outweigh the unfortunate.

Hey, that’s

interesting Austrian skydiver takes a dangerous leap Professional daredevil Felix Baumgartner made a daring move Sunday as he leaped from a helium balloon more than 24 miles above the Earth.

Some are calling this a “leap from the edge of space.”

Baumgartner jumped into a “virtual vacuum with air pressure so low that a slight tear in his high-tech spacesuit could have instantly killed him,” according to the New York Daily News.

He landed safely in the desert floor of New Mexico.

O w n e r o f a n e w w o rl d r e c o r d , Baumgartner hit speeds of 729 mph, possibly breaking the sound barrier as he fell.

Some details are still unclear.

Baumgartner’s mentor, Joe Kittinger, an 85-year-old retired Air Force colonel, held a previous record for free-falling 19 miles above the Earth’s surface.

Kittinger was watching from the ground as Baumgartner broke his 1960 record.

His jump required a pressurized spacesuit designed to protect the diver from injury in case he did break the sound barrier.

Fresno State’s Theta Chi fraternity has charter revoked More than a month after 18-year-old Phillip Dhanens’ alcohol-related death, the National Theta Chi organization has revoked the charter for its Fresno chapter.

The Fresno County Coroner reported that Dhanens suffered from swelling of the brain due to an excessive amount of alcohol in his system – five times the legal limit. Police are still investigating in hopes of determining what happened.

“Given the severity of this tragedy and the circumstances that are coming to light, it is the appropriate course of action,” said Dr. Paul Oliaro, Fresno State’s vice president of student affairs.

Was this the appropriate course of action?

MUERTOS: Workshop prepares for Day of the Dead CONTINUED from page 1 dance group in Fresno and Clovis. Garcia had the idea to form a dance club and combine it with an existing community dance group four years ago.

“There was a lack of outreach to people my age, to students,” Garcia said. Many people have been in the group since its founding. He said he wanted to reach out to university students in particular.

“Starting this club was a way to first get college students initiated in all this kind of stuff, to relearn their culture, their past history through dance and through activities like this,” Garcia said.

People began to trickle into the Industrial Technolo g y building classroom around 10 a.m. Sunday and by noon the room was busy with guests creating unique pieces.

T h o s e wh o p a r t i c i p at e d were students, faculty and community members. Samuel Martinez, a senior majoring in public health administration, brought friends with him to the workshop. He recalled the time he lived in Mexico and how the Day of the Dead was not a time to be afraid; rather, it was a time to commemorate the dead and pay respect to them.

Elvis Nunez, 19, a social work major, joined Martinez and said the group of friends was trying to find a time to hang out since their busy school schedules would not allow much free time.

“It’s a Sunday,” Nunez said.

“We woke up early, but we’re all together and going to have fun.”

Nunez knows some of the tradition’s meanings, but doesn’t celebrate it.

“I had heard of the traditions,” Nune z said. “They make food and paint faces.

And when they make the food, it’s like a way they’re offering to the ‘muertos.’ It’s like a one whole day or two-day event, where we feel like they are still with us, honoring them and their memory.”

He said he would like to continue the tradition. Nunez added that while g rowing

up, kids are usually afraid of death, but if they are taught at a young age not to be afraid they will learn to celebrate and continue the tradition.

T h e wo rk s h o p w a s a warmup for the main event that the Aztec Dance club will hold Nov. 1-2 at 6 p.m. On these dates the altars will be assembled in the Free Speech Area where dancers, speakers and musicians will celebrate.

This will be free and open to the public. Ceremonial dances will also take place. These days commemorate the old and the young who have passed away, Garcia said.

Sylvia Sanchez, a senior at Fresno State majoring in child development, attended the workshop with her 10-year-old

son. She expressed how she knew little about the traditional celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

Traditions get lost from generation to generation, she said.

She hopes that by bringing her son to this workshop they can both walk away with a better connection to their roots.

Although Sanchez has never created an altar, she wishes to make one in honor of her father who passed away almost a year ago.

Perhaps that will help with the healing process, she said.

As altars go up and offerings are presented, the marigold flower has a powerful presence with its fragrance. The flower is a bright orange that helps light the path at night for the

dead, according to the tradition. Daniel Mejia, president of the Aztec Dance Club, said marigolds have a strong aroma.

“The belief is that on the day of Dia de los Muertos, the family members come searching for the altars, and so the smell of the marigolds helps them find where the altar is. It’s like a way back to this world to visit us,” Mejia said.

Willie Lopez, a former theater teacher at Fresno State, was one of the workshop participants. He invited his son and grandchildren to attend as well.

As he worked on his papiermache skull, he reminisced of the times he would celebrate Dia de los Muertos in Guadalajara, Mexico. In describing altars, he mentioned that family members would leave food and would even play the deceased’s favorite song.

Perhaps it was because the loved one had a personal connection to the song, Lopez said.

Altars were not only made in the homes, but were also constructed at cemetery sites.

For Lopez, it is a time to celebrate. Families would spend the entire day picnicking.

Someone would bring a guitar

and sing songs. He recalled spending the day at the cemetery celebrating and sharing memories of the dead.

“You start talking about memories, funny things they used to do. ‘Remember ‘abuelita se hechaba los pedos’ [remember grandma and the farts she would throw],’ and everyone has a memory of that.” He said, laughing. “ Yo u h ave t h e ‘ n i e t o s ’ [grandchildren], people that didn’t know who she was and you start to get a feeling of how special they were” Lopez said.

“Because otherwise you forget them.”

The workshop also was a way to get the community involved by creating crafts.

“This is part of our culture,” Lopez said. “This is something our ancestors did for hundreds of years, thousands of years, and even looking into it more you start to see the symbolism in making the skulls, the colors the decorations, the reasons why we cut up the paper — looking behind the stories of those. So hopefully some of the people will walk away with that and start talking about it soon.”

Remembering the dead is the theme that brings the living together, keeping their memory alive and celebrating their lives.

“In our ‘cultura’ we do that all the time,” said Lope z.

“The Mayans used to do it.

The Aztecas used to do it. The Incas used to do it. El Dia de los Muertos becomes their day, and you won’t forget them.”

BRONCOS: ’Dogs collect 322 yards of total offense in loss CONTINUED from page 8 momentum seemed to be in their favor.

Sloppy play was a critical factor in the game for the Bulldogs. Fresno State was flagged nine times resulting in 85 penalty yards.

“We hurt ourselves. We had delay-of-game penalties. We had false starts. Defensively we extended their drives,” DeRuyter said.

“The way you win games is not shoot yourself in the foot with stupid stuff like penalties and that stuff,” quarterback Derek Carr added.

The Bulldogs were able to get on the scoreboard toward the end of the third quarter.

Kicker Quentin Bresheares made a 39-yard field goal

“H

onestly, I wouldn’t call it a rough day.

When you play a good team, it’s not going to be 600 yards of offense.”

at t e m p t . T h i s s c o re g ave Fresno State some momentum going into the final quarter H o w e v e r, B o i s e S t a t e regained its 17-point lead with a field goal of its own, making the score 20-3.

“W

e hurt ourselves. We had delay-of-game penalties. We had false starts. Defensively we extended their drives.”

— Tim DeRuyter, Head coach

Seizing some momentum toward the end of the matchup, the ’Dogs were able to put together a solid drive with running back Robbie Rouse rushing the ball. On third and goal, Carr passed to wide receiver Davante Adams for a 3-yard touchdown.

“We just got to keep them off balance. We don’t want to be one-dimensional, otherwise they’ll just play the pass,” Rouse said.

This score put Fresno State within 10 points of the Broncos and momentum shifted to the ’Dogs. Yet, they were unable to get possession of the ball before the game ended and Boise State ran out the clock.

Carr ended the game with a modest 29 completions for 266 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He seemed to struggle to find his comfort zone as the Broncos consistently brought pressure on him.

“Honestly, I wouldn’t call it a rough day,” Carr said. “When you play a good team, it’s not going to be 600 yards of offense.

It’s not going to be like that.

It’s not necessarily a rough day

because you’ve got to fight for every yard. And as you could tell, they were, too.”

Rouse finished the game with 145 all-purpose yards, and defensive back Derron Smith also contributed to the takeaway battle for Fresno State.

The Bulldogs for the first time this season were unable to win the turnover margin.

“We just know that we could play better. And if we come out and execute our game plan from now on, we know we can win games,” safety Phillip Thomas said.

This loss to the Broncos marks the 10th time Fresno State has been defeated by its long-time rival as the Milk Can trophy remains with Boise State. What is also more concerning is that this loss for the ’Dogs drops them to 2-1 in the Mountain West Conference.

“This loss; it sucks, especially to these guys. I don’t like losing to them,” Carr said. “But you just got to keep swinging that ax and keep working hard.

That’s all I know how to do.

That’s all I can do.”

Women’s Volleyball The Fresno State volleyball team came from behind to win threestraight sets, earning its 12th victory of the season over Wyoming.

’Dogs fall to Boise State, 20-10 Fresno State starts off slow but outscore the Broncos 10-3 in the second half

By Luke Shaffer The Collegian Outmuscled by their longtime rivalry, the Bulldogs were defeated by Boise State 20-10 Saturday.

In a game that featured two different halves, Fresno State (4-3, 2-1 MWC) started off sluggish, but then outscored the Broncos 10-3 in the final two quarters.

“You got to give Boise State credit,” coach Tim DeRuyter said. “They outcoached us, outplayed us. They played smarter.

They’re more composed when it comes to coaching.”

The Bulldogs seemed to be out off rhythm on their first four possessions of the game.

Boise State was also out of sync, as it couldn’t score until its third possession.

On second and eight, B ro n c o s q u a r t e r b a ck Jo e Southwick fired a 10-yard strike to receiver Geraldo Boldewin for a touchdown.

Boise State was then able to widen its lead when late in the first half running back D.J. Harper dashed for a 28-yard touchdown. This score put the Broncos up 17-0 heading into halftime and much of the See BRONCOS, Page 7

In the Sep. 29 game against San Diego State, quarterback Derek Carr threw for a record setting 536 yards on 42 completions and five touchdowns. In Saturday’s loss against the Broncos, Carr threw for only 266 yards and one touchdown. Boise State’s defense was a major challenge that the ’Dogs couldn’t overcome.

Bulldogs lose 3-1 against the Aztecs

By RIcky Cano The Collegian The Fresno State soccer team lost 3-1 to San Diego State on Sunday – the team’s penultimate home game of the season.

The Aztecs (14-1-1, 4-0-0 MWC) came into the match ranked seventh in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll and on a six-game win streak.

The Bulldogs offense got off to an early start against the Mountain West Conferenceleading Aztecs.

Seven minutes into regula-

tion, defender Kayla Kret blasted the ball 35 yards through the air to senior forward Callie Hancock. With three Aztecs defenders orbiting the perimeter, Hancock broke through to kick the ball past goalkeeper Rachel Boaz for a goal.

The Bulldogs defense held the Aztecs scoreless in the first half. Four of sophomore goalkeeper Katie DeVault’s six saves were in the first 45 minutes – with a pivotal stop coming in the closing minute of the first half.

“I was very pleased with how we kept battling. We know

Foward Callie Hancock had 10 total shots and one goal in the Sep. 7 game against UC Riverside. Hancock scored the Bulldog’s lone goal Sunday against San Diego State.

we created chances,” coach Brian Zwaschka said.

The Aztecs took over in the second half behind senior forward Megan Jurado, who headbutted the ball into the net for a goal eight minutes into the second half.

Jurado and forward Sarah Halverson scored the Aztecs’ last two in the final 15 minutes of regulation. Jurado leads the Aztecs with 12 goals.

“San Die go is a very good team,” Zwaschka said.

“They’re playing very well and we knew it was going to be difficult in the second half.

“They had nothing to do but throw everything at us to make sure that they got back into the game. They did that. They’re a good enough team to find some openings.”

Down 2-1 with 10 minutes remaining, Hancock outran two Aztec defenders and kicked the ball straight towards San Diego State’s goal. The ball, however, barely missed the net and ricocheted off the cross beam.

Hancock, who on most occasions had to break through two or three defenders to get in scoring range, finished with a goal and six shots. The Bulldogs totaled 15 shots in the game. Hancock leads the team with 14 goals. “ We u n d e r s t a n d t h a t (Callie)’s going to be targeted and to be marked and doublemarked. But she’s capable of dealing with it and I think she showed that today,” Zwaschka said.

Running back Robbie Rouse dashes away from defensive players in the Sep. 29 game against San Diego State. Rouse had 145 all-purpose yards in the loss against Boise State Saturday.

“We need to keep working on variety and our attack. I thought we did better with the variety as the game wore on.”

Fresno State entered Sunday’s contest coming off a 1-1 tie at home against New Mexico in a game that went undecided after two overtime periods.

The Bulldogs (4-8-4, 2-1-1 MWC) had not lost a conference game at home prior to Sunday. The Bulldogs’ sole home loss of the season was 2-0 to UCLA, then-ranked fourth by the NSCAA. The Bulldogs have faced four ranked teams this season.

Fresno State has three conf e re n c e g a m e s re m a i n i n g before postseason play. The team begins its final road stand on Friday at Boise State.

“Every game is going to be a battle because even the teams that might not be looking nec-

essarily now at a conference championship are still going to be battling to get in the (Mountain West) tournament,” Zwaschka said.

The Bulldogs are in a threeway tie with University of Nevada, Las Vegas and New Mexico for second place in the Mountain West.

Fresno State’s final home game of the season is Oct. 27 against UNLV. “We feel really good about how we’re playing,” Zwaschka said. “We’ll take this loss in stride because San Diego State is a really good team, but we absolutely aren’t going to be giving up hope.”
