A ‘latte’ learning at Coffee Hour International Coffee Hour provides insight on culture

By Esra Hashem The Collegian The International Coffee Hour, a weekly event in the Henry Madden Library that takes you around the globe, starts Tuesday.

Coordinated by the International Student Service Program, the event is a series of presentations on countries and their diverse cultural heritages.

Organizer Paul Yunouye, a foreign student advisor at Fresno State, said Coffee Hour is celebrating its 20th anniversary on campus this year.

“We began in spring of 1993,” Yunouye said. “Many campuses have tried something like this, but it’s really unique how we’ve gained popularity. Just in fall 2012, we had 360 total participants. By spring 2013, we had 845. So we’re growing.”

Coffee Hour is a way for the presenters to inform their audience about the countries they represent. Speakers are usually international students, but faculty and anyone interested in international affairs can present as well.

This fall’s presentations are on Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, Iran, China, South Korea, Mexico, Japan, Eritrea and Malaysia.

There will also be an International Education Week event in See INTERNATIONAL, Page 3

New charge stations a tech oasis

USU, other campus locations get charging stations for phones

By Hailey Mayo The Collegian The University Student Union and other locations at Fresno State received small but powerful new accessories this summer.

The newest additions to the

USU are cell phone charging stations mounted on the walls.

“The Student Union Board is always looking for new ways to help the students,” said USU associate director, Mehrzad Zarrin.

“Last semester it was the hydration stations where you can refill

your water bottles with filtered water. This semester it’s new furniture in the lounge and charging stations.”

The cell phone charging stations were purchased through a company called KwikBoost. It has supplied similar stations to other

universities including Cal Poly, CSU Northridge, UC Davis and CSU San Francisco.

There are a total of 11 charging stations on campus, three of which are in the USU. One is located in the lounge, the other two in the area of the bowling alley and eating area. Additional locations include the Kennel Bookstore, the Student Recreation Center, the dorms, and the resident dining hall.

Each facility paid for its own charging stations. The three charging stations cost the USU a total of $1,037 and were paid for with student fees.

The charging stations can be used for iPhone 4S and prior editions, an iPhone 5 charger, or “lightning charger” as KwikBoost calls it, a micro USB and a miniUSB charger.

“The chargers should accommodate for the majority of phones made after the year 2000. It even can charge the Razr cell phones,” Zarrin said.

Freshman Chuy Valarde was excited to see the chargers after his phone died.

“This is my first time using the phone chargers in the USU,” Valarde said. “I’m glad they’re here or I would have to have had to wait until I got home to have See CHARGERS, Page 3

OP-ED

The National Security Agency: Out of Sight, and/or Out of Mind?

By Toini Hiipakka It is difficult at times to be upset about things that we cannot visually see or experience.

Without tangible physical, sensory experiences the human mind tends to forget, or not even care at all.

For the past fifty plus years the National Security Agency (NSA) has been doing a pretty good job at being “out of sight, out of mind.” The NSA remained a little ambiguous to ordinary citizens, and kept its international communications spying quiet.

Since 9/11, however, the NSA has had a slightly more visible profile, as they have become a little-tiny-bit more important.

In May of 2013, a computer specialist by the name of Edward Snowden came forward to let American citizens know the NSA had expanded its operations.

The NSA, Snowden said, is no longer concerned only with international communication, but had all of us, American citizens, under surveillance as well.

According to Snowden, the NSA wiretaps phone calls, collects phone bills, spies on our internet browsing, and can essentially observe, record, and save any electronic form of communication they wish, on anybody, anywhere, and at anytime.

Snowden was later charged with espionage, but many have come forward to support him,

including former president Jimmy Carter.

Although Snowden’s revelation was not entirely shocking, it did create widespread national alarm about what our federal government is really up to.

The main justification for this heightened and overwhelming amount of surveillance is the prevention of terror attacks.

Many believe the United States is most vulnerable to terrorist attacks that will be planned and executed within our own country, from individuals living here, working here, and utilizing our communication resources.

The only way to truly prevent another 9/11 is to be vigilant about monitoring as much communication within the country as possible.

No doubt, there have been many times throughout American history in which our leaders have suspended, if not outright eliminated, certain rights and liberties during times of war.

For instance, Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War. Citizens were thrown into jail and held there without any trial, rhyme or reason.

During World War I, Woodrow Wilson signed into law the Sedition Act in 1918, which made it illegal to speak out against the United States or any of its policies. Citizens who protested the war were arrested, thrown in jail, and sometimes held there for

lengthy amounts of time without explanation.

Clearly, our rights and freedoms as Americans are not always as guaranteed as most of us would hope. Although they are written down in an important document, they are not necessarily really what we experience on the streets, or in our daily lives, and (aside from the examples given above) this might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Most would agree there are certain times we need to give up certain freedoms so we are safer and can benefit from the protections afforded to us by law and order.

Despite this, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, our domestic monitoring increased dramatically.

Agents at the NSA began to take their surveillance to a whole new level, demanding records and documents from major communication companies, like AT&T. Was it legal for the NSA to request hundreds upon thousands of phone call records from AT&T? No. But they did it anyway, and the surveillance increased so much that William Binney, who had been in charge of the NSA for nearly 30 years, decided to resign and speak out against it.

Interestingly, Binney’s exit didn’t seem to exactly excite anybody in the mainstream news media.

Since 2001, our world has

changed dramatically. The use of the Internet in our daily life has grown tremendously. We do not merely use the email for work or school purposes; we are all connected to the Internet almost 24/7.

We have iPhones, iMacs, Blackberries and a whole host of other smart phones and devices that keep us connected to the Internet and to each other almost constantly.

The problem with this new level of surveillance is that although it might protect us from terrorist attacks at home, and we might be safer, it also makes ordinary citizens more vulnerable in the long run, especially considering the extent to which we are all connected by the World Wide Web. Another very real problem is the lack of checks and balances on the government’s newly increased authority of surveillance.

Anyone can be monitored, anywhere, at any time, and for any reason, and if it happens to be you, you will not know about it.

For the ordinary American, this may not seem very significant, especially since most of our daily lives are probably somewhat routine, ordinary, and normal.

Regardless, should it be legal for the government to spy on you, and save files of information on you and your daily life (without even your own knowledge)?

Although these issues are some practical reasons for us to

be truly concerned, there are also larger ones at stake.

What is really at stake is not just our privacy, but also our democracy. Isn’t our government responsible for representing our best interests? The Constitution, and our Bill of Rights are meant to protect particular freedoms and rights identified by our government as being significant, important and humane.

The NSA’s actions and illegal policies have called into question how protected our rights and liberties truly are in today’s time.

We are so lucky to have been born in a country in which our rights and liberties are visible and known to all of us. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not idle notions.

Regardless, the promise of a democracy is never quite a promise. It is the responsibility of us, as citizens, to stay informed, vocal, and active, and to keep those principles real and valid for us in today’s time.

Without us, our democratic ideals are only as good as historical documents can be: interesting, poetic, and thoughtful notions, but reflective only of the past.

November featuring unique presentations on California and students’ study abroad experiences.

Yunouye said the event is an arena where the community can learn about other parts of the world in a relaxed environment with refreshments provided. All students and faculty from Fresno State, as well as community members, are welcome to attend.

“It’s a good mix of people,” Yunouye said. “It’s only an hour, but it’s amazing what kind of connections you can make.”

Anthony Nwangwu is the student coordinator of the event this year. He said Coffee Hour is an essential event on campus because it is the one program where students across the globe meet, socialize and learn to appreciate cultural differences.

“They can hang out with old

friends, make new friends, and enjoy a free cup of coffee and snacks for lunch,” Nwangwu said.

“At the same time, students get first-hand information about different countries.”

While the promise of coffee and snacks may reel people in, Yunouye said students are often surprised at what they get out of the experience.

“It’s a new perspective on who you have around you,” he said.

“Oftentimes in class, you might be sitting next to someone but you’ll never know where they’re from or what their background is. Coming to Coffee Hour, you get to find that those students might be from half a world away. You get to learn about them.”

Coffee Hour will be held every Tuesday beginning Sept. 10 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in room 2206 of the Henry Madden Library.

Of all the places where there are charging stations on campus, the Henry Madden Library is not one of them.

Alumnus donates $5 million to create new scholarships Collegian Staff More than 20 Fresno State students will be chosen to receive full-tuition scholarships beginning with the 2014-2015 academic year.

Steve Spriggs, director of Planned Giving, said in a press release that the money was given to the university by alumnus John W. Long. He said Long notified the school of his wishes in 2012.

He asked Long if he understood the significance of the scholarships for so many students in the long run.

“He simply said, ‘I just wanted to help,’” Spriggs said.

Spriggs said that while Long had long ago made his decision to leave his estate to the campus he loved so much, he did not notify Fresno State of his plans to do so until last year.

“Mr. Long will never know the thousands of students to be touched by his generosity, but his legacy will transform countless lives,” Spriggs said. “It gives me goosebumps to think of the pure altruism in his heart.”

The scholarships will cover full tuition and will be available every year for the foreseeable future.

Spriggs said that Long asked to remain anonymous for his gift until after his death and did not want special recognition or acknowledgement.

Long passed away in Southern

California on Jan. 26 at the age of 89. Long was described as passionate about Fresno State and helping others achieve success.

He never married and had no children.

Long told the university he wanted the scholarships to be named for his mother, Miriam Long.

He said his mother played a major role in his devotion to the school and helping others.

Miriam Long earned her teaching credential in 1919 when Fresno State was known as Fresno State Normal School.

She spent her career teaching elementary school students and helped her son through his college career while he studied commerce, now known as business.

Long’s college career was interrupted when he enlisted in the Army to serve on a medical ship during World War II. After his service, he returned to Fresno State to continue his education and realized he had a passion for retail when he started working at the Fresno State bookstore.

After he graduated with his bachelor’s degree, Long started building his savings in the 1970s through investments and real estate while he worked in men’s retail in Los Angeles. He chose to live privately and simply, which Spriggs said allowed him to invest in apartment complexes near the UCLA campus.

ASHE: The Sankofa Black Film Festival Africana studies department puts on festival showcasing civil rights issues

By Megan Rupe The Collegian Throughout the month of September the “ASHE: The Sankofa Black Film Festival,” is showcasing films that bring the history of the civil rights movement to the present.

Dr. Meta Schettler, associate professor of Africana studies, said the purpose of the festival is found in its title.

Schettler said the words “ashe” and “sankofa” both have symbolic meanings. Schettler said the word ashe means “flash of spirit,” and the word Sankofa means to look into the past, something she said the Africana studies department puts great emphasis on.

“It’s really about historical consciousness, to go back and retrieve,” Schettler said. “It’s a symbol that we use in the department a lot for Photo courtesy of the Africana studies department representing learnThe "Sankofa" bird turns to look over its ing from our history shoulder, symbolizing remembering the past. to move forward into the future.”

Schettler said the conference was also named for the first film it showed on Sept. 3. The festival screened the 1993 movie “Sankofa,” which Schettler said told the story of a late 20th century African-American model who travels back in time and experiences the traumas of slavery.

Verhalen also said her and her friends enjoy frozen yogurt, but that there are no yogurt shops close to campus.

“We go to one called Chosen [Frozen Yogurt] a lot,” Verhalen said. “But it’s on Shepherd [Avenue], so it’s far away.”

The Fresno State women’s volleyball team took one out of three games over the weekend in the Portland Nike Invitational.

Despite the losses, the tournament was still a record-setting moment for right-side hitter Holly Franks. During Saturday’s game against the Wichita State Shockers, Franks served seven service aces, a school record.

“I definitely kept my focus,” Franks said. “I just stuck with the game plan and went for the passers who were weak.”

Freshman libero Maggie Eppright started a game for the first time in her career, and led the team with 14 digs.

After dropping the first set, 25-19, Wichita State kept their leads in the second and third sets.

The fourth set saw lead changes early, but the Shockers quickly took control and won the set 25-11.

The Bulldogs entered Portland strong, sweeping the hometown Portland Pilots in the first game 25-21, 25-20, 25-19. Senior Korrin Wild led the team with 10 kills and Marissa Brand led in total attacks with 23.

In the second game of the tournament, the Bulldogs faced the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars, who were in the NCAA Regional semifinal last season.

The Bulldogs kept up with the Cougars in the first set, changing the lead of the set eight times.

Four of those changes happened in the final points of the set.

The Cougars dominated the second set. They took eight out of

not let the game get too far out of hand, as a couple of blocks and service aces brought the Bulldogs within six. But the Cougars would score three more times to win the set and the match, 25-16.

That total still trailed the Mustangs, who finished with 172 rushing yards in the game.

“At the beginning of the game, we ran the ball better,” said DeRuyter. “But we have to be able to get the hard yards — the third-down-and-one and the goal line.”

“We have to do a much better job of getting some movement and getting those critical yards.”

The Mustangs had more juice in the second half of the game, scoring all of their points after halftime. The production increased with backup quarterback Chris Brown, who entered the game after Vince Moraga left with an injury in the third quarter.

Moraga went 6 of 12 for 60 yards while Brown went 9 of 15 with 184 yards and one touchdown.

“It’s a win,” said Carr, who went in for backup Brian Burrell with four minutes left in the game after being relieved in the third quarter.

“I’ve been on the 4-9 side of things. I don’t take any win for granted after that. It wasn’t the prettiest win, but like we always say, ‘If it’s by one or 100, a win is a win.’”

Fresno State next plays on the road against Colorado – seemingly improved under first-year coach Mike MacIntyre and 2-0 headining into the matchup. The Bulldogs face Boise State (1-1), winner of seven straight in the rivalry, at home on Sept. 20.

The forecast for Fresno State reserves receiving in-game experience in the near-

future does not seem as bright as it did on Saturday in the third quarter, when the Bulldogs were up by 38.

“Any time you get an opportunity for your second or third units to play, it’s good for your team development. It’s good for morale,” said DeRuyter, who improved to 8-0 at Bulldog Stadium. “Guys typically have a different pep in their step because they played as opposed to just watching.

“But you’ve got to earn your reps. We’ll take a critical look at that film tomorrow. I don’t think it was a lack of effort, but I don’t think they had the proper intensity sometimes.

“They didn’t realize we were playing a really good team. They see our ones have a lot of success, and they maybe just assume they were going to [as well]. And that’s never the case.”

Fresno State shines early as reserves struggle in final minutes

By Ricardo Cano The Collegian

A hook-and-ladder pass and two punt returns for touchdowns. A firm defense that surrendered only 44 total yards in the first half.

That was Fresno State (2-0) in its 41-25 win over Cal Poly Saturday night at Bulldog Stadium during the first 40-something minutes or so of the game.

The Bulldogs, sitting comfortably with a 41-3 lead midway through the third quarter, were in the midst of a rout, limiting the ground game of a triple-option offense that relies on it as its bread and butter. They found inventive ways to score against the Mustangs, who, like Rutgers, mainly lined up their safeties deep, focused on Derek Carr and the Bulldogs’ passing game.

During the final minutes of play, Fresno State was on the other end of things, trying to contain the Mustangs – of the Football Championship Subdivision – who were one touchdown score and a field goal away from realistically being within fighting chance of pulling off an upset.

The status quo remained intact, though.

Fresno State, a Football Bowl Subdivision team, did what conventional wisdom said it would do: win against an FCS team that was road blocked on offense and toyed with on special teams through most of the third quarter in a game that was not as competi-

tive as the final score indicated.

But if the first 40-something minutes seemed entirely different from the rest of the game, it was probably because different players – the second and third-team units – were on the field.

“We should’ve finished the game much better than we did,” Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter said. “You have to give Cal Poly a lot of credit.”

“We have to do a much better job of developing our depth so that our twos and threes in there perform much better than they did tonight. Having said that, the goal every week is to go 1-0. And we did that.”

Isaiah Burse scurried 61 yards for a touchdown on a punt return, running left and right before finding an open lane toward the end zone in the first quarter. He scored on another punt return, a 58-yarder, 30 seconds before the end of the first half.

Offensive lineman Austin Wentworth scored his first career touchdown — a 7-yard score that electrified the home crowd of 33,260 — off a pitch from Davante Adams after catching a pass from Carr five minutes before Burse’s second touchdown return.

In the third quarter, the Bulldogs relieved most of their starters as backups were gradually subbed in the game.

Cal Poly ended the night with 416 yards on offense – 372 yards came after the half – and scored 22 unanswered points on a streak that started with 1:38 remaining before the fourth quarter.

The Bulldogs offense totaled 370 yards – 334 of them came in the first three quarSee FINAL, Page 7
