Waiting for a ‘DREAM’ Immigration reform, DREAM Act still on hold By Ana Mendoza The Collegian The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM) Act, is currently attached to the Immigration Reform bill. If I passed, it will give thousands of illegal immis grants two options—join g the military or go to t school. s Once you have completed two years of pl e i t h e r, t h e U n i t e d States may change St your legal status to yo legal leg residency. To T qualify, students must be between the

“ages of 12 to 35 when the law is enacted.” Applicants must have arrived in the United States before they reach the age of 16 and live in the United States for five or more years consecutively. They must also have a U.S. high school diploma or General Education Diploma and have “good moral character.” The bill if passed as it is written, will not guarantee legalization of all students who meet the requirements. For those who qualify for the DREAM Act will receive a “Conditional Permanent Resident Status” for six years. After the six years they might receive their legal residency. If during these six years the “alien,” as the bill states,

becomes of a “public charge,” or “received a dishonorable or other than honorable discharge” from the military, they will lose their Conditional Per manent Resident Status and will likely be deported. This applies even if they become veterans of the Iraq or Afghanistan war, or if they have a degree. M a ny U. S . s o l d i e r s h ave retur ned home with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or other mental problems; they have retur ned without body parts and according to icasualties.org 4,734 in Iraq and 2,061 in Afghanistan have lost their lives. If soldiers under the DREAM Act are injured physically or mentally and they commit a “public charge”, they will be deported. If the student chooses to go to college to meet the two year or more requirements to

be eligible for the DREAM Act, the student cannot receive government aid to help them complete school. They will be eligible for work-study and private loans only. Even if the student has a spouse and kids or has limited means, no financial aid will be provided by the government. Currently the DREAM Act is attached to a much larger Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. The bill would give legal residency not only to students, but working families as well. Many politicians, however, believe that the DREAM Act should pass independently to have a greater opportunity of bipartisan support. “I think right now the fear and everything is strictly tied to the election this November,” said Rodney Anderson, an instructor in the political science See DREAM, Page 3

Students seek unpaid work in rough job market By Ana Mendoza The Collegian With the unemployment rate on the rise and an increasingly competitive job market, students are looking for a way to gain job experience while also helping their community. On Sept. 1 Fresno State brought students and volunteering options together during the Community Service Opportunities Fair. According to the United States Department of Labor, Fresno had a 16.2 percent unemployment rate during the month of July. Some students are looking somewhere else for work experience. For 14 years, the Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service-Lear ning have helped bring up to 74 different organizations on campus to inform students of not only volunteering opportunities, but job opportunities as well. “It’s one-stop shopping,” said Trisha Studt, “All the organizations are in one place.” Studt is a community partnership coordinator and has been involved with the Richter Center since 2002, working with students to give them

Many Fresno State students and fans are looking forward to the “game day experience” tomorrow when the Bulldogs host the Cincinnati Bearcats. Though students and fans are excited to cheer on the Bulldogs, they’re also prepared for a Saturday full of tailgating and barbequing. Football games aren’t always about the game itself—sometimes it’s about escaping from the banality of a college student’s rigorous schedule. Nursing major Dominique Carrejo said the football game is one way she relieves stress. “I like the fact that you can socialize with all your friends and get a breather from studying,” said 21-year-old Carrejo. She plans on tailgating tomorrow before sitting in the student section with her red rhinestone shirt on.

Service without cynicism WEB-SPE@K

The Annalog ANNA JACOBSEN

id anyone notice the Community Service Opportunities Fair in front of the bookstore on Wednesday? Dozens of nonprofit organizations set up camp under white canopies, attracting potential recruits with ice cream and eye-catching displays. For many students, volunteerism is an old hat. It’s hard to escape grade school without participating in some form of service, even if it’s as simple as a car wash fundraiser. Individual motives for volunteering are diverse, ranging from mandatory requirements of parents or school programs to the warm and fuzzy feeling you get while serving to the desire to feel needed. In the case of the volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters who attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., one motivation is a discount in tuition. These students get a 25 percent discount in fees when they volunteer with the mentoring program. While these reasons motivate many volunteers to action, it’s no secret that those who serve out of compulsion

and cynicism over the real impact of my work. I didn’t recognize these ugly patterns until recently. Does it really matter what the motives are as long as people volunteer? As long as the work gets done, the homeless are clothed and fed and the environment is cared for, shouldn’t that be enough? The answer to those questions is yes. Those outcomes can be, and very often are, enough. However, when volunteers serve from the heart, there is a hidden benefit, a change inside. The work becomes less about an individual goal, be it the pursuit of a career, friendship or recognition, and more about a broader vision of service. The shift can be subtle or dramatic, but when it occurs one ultimate goal es, I was offering him improved vision.

Too often those who engage in service shortchange themselves of the intangible benefits of volunteerism without even knowing it. The first warning sign is when service becomes more task-oriented than people-oriented. The task is often a great goal in and of itself, but when it becomes the end rather than the means, cynicism sets in. Keeping an others-focused motive is hard in volunteer positions that don’t offer a chance to see an impact on people’s lives. Many integral ser-

LETTERS To THE EDITOR Does anyone proofread?

Thumbs Up to Kennel Bookstore

I was embarrassed on Monday, Aug. 30th to see in your newspaper several spelling errors. In the “One-Finger Salute” section on page 2, villain was spelled incorrectly as “villan.” This would’ve been excusable, but... More significantly, in the chart on what affects students’ academic performance on page 4, in big bold letters in the title of the chart was “Acedemic”—I’m assuming this was supposed to be “Academic”? Even continuing at the bottom of the chart, the writer continues to spell survey as “servey” and randomly as “randonly.” Did no one decide to proofread this issue of The Collegian? It was pretty embarrassing as a student about to graduate from this university in Spring 2011 that even the school collegiate newspaper cannot spell ACADEMIC correctly. The irony is extremely prominent here. I understand everyone makes mistakes, but four in one issue—three in one chart? Please, take the time to recognize your flaws before you print them for the whole study body to see.

Thumbs up to the Kennel Bookstore management staff who work diligently with others on campus to find alternate ways to reduce the cost of textbooks. They are a business, but are one of the few CSU campus bookstores which have launched and encouraged the “rent-a-book” option for students. It is not a money-maker. They also sell e-books as an alternative and are key sponsors of the “Petting Zoo” scheduled for September 15-16, 10am—2pm on the second floor of the library. This is a great opportunity to see alternatives to the traditional textbook. Way to go Kennel! For more information on the Petting Zoo, contact Dean of Graduates Karen Carey. This hands-on tech event is a must-see.

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

Response: ‘Ask Pedro: Part 1’ ‘Recon XYZ’: “Pedro does not know what it means to work for the students. What makes him think he was the only one working hard (“I did this, I did that”) to stop student fees during the summer? He lacks the ability to mobilize and gather students for the cause. He should be recalled for failure to keep students informed of the issue and maintaining good relationships with his constituents. Recall Pedro, get him out of there.”

Response: ‘Fresno State and Nevada breach WAC contract’ ‘Christian’: “The contract is contingent on BYU joining the WAC. There is an out clause if BYU doesn’t join the WAC or joins another conference. Since they joined the WCC, Fresno and Nevada are off the hook regardless of the agreement or the backroom deal with BYU.” ‘Afortuna’: “It’s not a breach of contract if they pay the exit fee described in the contract. If they left the conference without paying the exit fee, then it would be a breach.”

Response: ‘Racism: An enduring problem’ ‘Melissa Mata’: “Unfortunately, pockets of racism still exist in America. However, this opinion piece does not give enough credit to the way in which race relations in America have improved. A clear example of this is our very own campus, which peacefully hosts a number of cultures every day. It is not prudent to say that we are all ignorant because of the decisions of a few radical extremists. In regards to Arizona’s SB 1070, both President Barack Obama and George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove agree that it is a poorly written law. Given that powerful figures on both sides of the political aisle have reservations when it comes to the law it is again rash to say that we live in a widely discriminatory nation. With all of these things in mind, I would venture to say that America has come a long way and will continue to make progress towards improving race relations.”

Response: ‘What’s in your makeup?’ ‘Sarah’: “I feel like when you say ‘animal waste from the slaughterhouse’ would make people think that you mean animal feces. Most people think don’t think of animal waste as the by-products (which is what you mean, I would imagine), and I think the words you used were misleading. Otherwise, a great article!!” ‘Aset9548’: “‘Animal waste’ can sound misleading, but they do say ‘animal waste from the slaughterhouse’ which sounds to me ‘animal waste as the by-products.’”

DREAM: ‘This is our only hope’ CONTINUED from page 1 department. Anderson said for this reason, politicians are discussing the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. “Dreamers are not here alone, they have brothers, sisters, parents that can’t be left in the shadows anymore,” said Adriana Sanchez, a senior at Fresno State, referring to the millions of families that are not acknowledged by the U.S. government because of their legal status. “They could at least g ive u s t h e D R E A M A c t ; this is our only hope,” said Juan Santia go, a Madera

Community College student and group advisor of Central Valley Youth Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform in Madera who will be benefited by the DREAM Act. “When baby boomers retire, there are going to be a lot of job opportunities. We will fill them, so they will benefit from our taxes,” Santiago said. “DREAM students would supply the demand of workers that this country needs,” Sanchez said about the benefit students will bring to the U.S. economy. “The U.S. has been hypocrit-

ical when it comes to immigration,” said Michael Becker, instructor from the political science department. “They tend to tur n the blind eye when the economy is booming, and as soon as the economy gets bad, immigrants become the scapegoats,” stressing why illegal immigration is such an important issue for many politicians. “If they give us this opportunity,” said Juan Santiago, “the United States would be sending the message that the American dream is still reachable here.”

GAME: Students prepare gameday strategies CONTINUED from page 1 “Eat, drink and party like there’s no tomorrow,” said Carrejo. Tailgating is a popular way for fans to get pumped up before the game. Many tailgaters bring their own goodies to avoid the overpriced food at concession stands inside the stadium. Criminology major Brandi Jacobs said she hasn't bought her ticket yet, but she plans on tailgating with either Kappa Sigma or Phi Delta Theta. “We eat before the game because it’s way too expensive inside the stadium,” said Jacobs. Business finance major Paul Duran, 22, plans on barbequing buffalo wings and hamburgers with his fraternity, Theta Chi, before the game. Some students take the first football game as an opportunity to let loose and to have a good time before the semester gets stressful. “The best thing in the fall is football,” said Duran. “I’ve been waiting for this.” Civil engineering major Edward Gomez, 20, enjoys hanging out with friends and cheering on the football team while snacking on sunflower seeds. While many fans are tuned into the game, some are captured by the sight and sounds of the Bulldo g Marching Band and the Spirit Squad. The Spirit Squad consists of a co-ed cheer team, an all-female

dance team and the mascot TimeOut. Duran and Gomez said they love to chant along with the marching band when they play “Powerdrive” because it gets them involved with the crowd. “The marching band is

always awesome,” said Duran. F a n s w h o h ave ye t t o buy their ticket can do so at the University Student Union (USU) Ticket Office, the Bulldog Ticket Office or online. Those attempting to buy their ticket on Saturday at the stadium can expect a long

line of eager and rambunctious people. Once fans have their ticket, they can expect another long line into the stadium gates. Duran said the best place to avoid long entrance lines is by entering at the back gate on Millbrook by the practice

field. “The front gate on Bulldog Lane is always long,” said Duran. Be sure to arrive at the game early to dodge traffic, find a decent parking spot and to avoid massive lines. But above all, have fun and be safe.

of old traditions that have come and gone.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the pictures now hanging in the library’s ellipse room could fill up a book the size of the last Harry Potter novel. The new photo exhibit called ‘100 years of Fresno State’ which went on display this week, features a collection of photos and school memorabilia dating back to 1911. The photos show Fresno State students through the years engaging in now-defunct school traditions. In honor of the Centennial year kickoff, here is a rewrite

Original: Know the Alma Mater. Update: Know the Alma Mater, and sing it at all school-related events. Why: Knowing the words to the Alma Mater isn’t very common on campus anymore, which puts a few students in a small, but knowledgeable, minority.

Now that the school doesn’t have an active battle between two classes, a Freshman-Sophomore boo-off where people of both classes boo each other until they’re hoarse will suffice.

1 . Jacquizz Ro gers, RB, Oregon State, Jr. The nation’s top all-around player, Rogers touched the ball 351 times last year, gaining more than 1,400 yards rushing and 500 yards receiving. With the Beavers breaking in a new quarterback, expect even more touches for Rogers. 2 . M a rk I n g r a m , R B , Alabama, Jr. Ingram’s unfortunate injury might derail his Heisman chances, but he’s still the returning Heisman winner. 3. Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State, Jr. Moore’s the top returning quarterback this season. If he played for a BCS school, he would be considered a Heisman frontrunner based on his stats alone. Last year Moore passed for 39 touchdowns and just three interceptions. 4 . Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas, Jr. With his blend of size and arm strength, Mallett is the most NFL-ready quarterback. The past four quarterbacks to win the Heisman have been drafted by NFL teams. Dark horse: Greg McElroy, QB, Alabama, Sr. McElroy plays on the No. 1 team in the nation. With opposing defenses keying in on Ingram and company, McElroy could have Heismanlike numbers.

1. Terrelle Pryor, QB, Ohio State, Jr. If Pryor and the Buckeyes can perform like they did in the Rose Bowl, he may just run away with it this year. After all, the Heisman is a team award. 2. Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Oregon State, Jr. The junior is a stat-producing machine, both running and receiving. If his team performs well, expect him to be invited to New York. 3 .

Those stats look pretty Faulkian to me.

winner deserves his spot in my top 4. 4. Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State, Jr. Moore is scary accurate. With a 39-to-3 touchdown-toincerception ratio in 2009, the Bronco leader has all the intangibles to hoist this year’s trophy. But above all, he is a winner. Dark horse: Rahim Moore, S, UCLA, Jr. Dear UCLA Opponents, please do me a favor and throw anywhere near this ball hawking safety and make me look smart. Moore picked off 10 passes in 2009, the most in the nation.

Dark horse: Matt Barkley, QB, USC, So. This pick is very unlikely, seeing as the Trojans can’t even play in a bowl game this year, but Barkley has the skills. Expect a big year out of him.

Keys to Victory 1. Contain the passing attack Bearcat wide receivers Armon Binns and D.J. Woods combined for 112 catches in 2009. The ‘Dogs don’t need to shut it down, just keep it reasonable.

2. Establish a run game A lot of eyes will be on the Bulldog backfield. A decent game from Robbie Rouse will take some heat of quarterback Ryan Colburn. 3. Be ‘special’ on special teams In what is expected to be a close game, field goals and extra points will be cruicial. New punter Andrew Shapiro will also need contribute to the field position battle

A win on Saturday could help the ‘Dogs erase the bad memory of last season’s heart-breaking eight-point loss at Cincinnati.

Breakdown: Bulldogs Pat Hill has won the last six season openers as head coach of the Fresno State football team. Hill will try to extend that streak when the ‘Dogs host Cincinnati on Saturday. Hill will rely heavily on the arm of senior quarterback Ryan Colbur n, especially after losing running backs Ryan Mathews and Lonyae Miller to the NFL. As a first-time starter last season, Colbur n finished the season ranked 22nd in the nation in passer rating throwing for 2,459 yards and 19 touchdowns. Sophomore running back Robbie Rouse will be expected to handle the bulk of the carries, with sophomores A.J. Ellis and Michael Harris backing him up.

On defense, a veteran-led squad is hoping to improve from last season after giving up more than 28 points per game. Defensive end Chris Carter will be asked to contain versatile Bearcats’ quarterback Zach Collaros. If the ‘Dogs can contain the Cincinati offense and make enough plays on the offensive side of the ball, look for the ‘Dogs to extend Hill’s season opener streak to seven.

Breakdown: Bearcats If Cincinnati has any hope of matching last season’s 13-1 record, it will most likely be in the form of shootouts. The Bearcts return multit h re at q u a r t e r b a ck Z a ch Collaros and a plethora of big targets for him to chose from. Armon Binns (6-foot-3-inches) will be Collaros’ main target after last year’s 1,191yard, 11-touchdown campaign. Junior D.J. Woods will also be a big threat downfield for the Bearcats. For mer Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly accepted the head coaching position at Notre Dame in the offseason, opening the doors for Butch Jones, who led Central Michigan for the past three seasons. Jones, who brings a similar spread offense to Cincinnati, should have no problem working with

his experienced group. “They had good athletes on those teams last year so whatever scheme they’re using there will be a lot of speed on the fiield,” Fresno State coach Pat Hill said. One suspect area for the Bearcats will be their defense, which finished in the bottom half of every defensive category in the Big East last year, including last in total defense after giving up an average of 374 yards per game.
