Fresno State played host to the 66th anniversary of India's independence

This will be the last year Fresno State will be printing hard copies of the General Catalog. The university plans on switching to a completely online version for the 2013- 2014 school year.

Dennis Nef, dean of under-graduate studies, said there were many factors that led to the decision to move the cata-log online. One factor is that the number of catalog sales has been steadily decreasing over the years. In addition to this, many other colleges in the CSU system plan switching to an online catalog as well.

“Given the change in tech-nology in the last couple of years, this looks to be both a more effective and efficient method for delivering informa-tion to students,” Nef said.

Currently, the catalog is set up in a linear fashion, listing courses and course descrip-tions by subject. The online catalog will provide a roadmap of courses for students to take, Nef said. This will allow stu-dents to quickly find courses in different subjects by simply clicking on the link provided instead of flipping through pages and looking up the cours-es.

Currently, the students who purchase the catalogs pay for the cost of printing them, but

The Smittcamp Family Honors College at Fresno State has admitted its 14th class of high-achieving high school graduates for the 2012-13 aca-demic year.

Honors College students receive an annual President’s Honors Scholarship for their undergraduate degree pro-gram up to a maximum of eight semesters. Scholarships cover in-state registration and fees and an optional credit for university housing.

The Smittcamp Family Honors College is unique in the California State University system because President’s Scholars are admitted as a group, take a series of special-ly designed honors courses and interact in educational and social activities. Applicants must score 1,800 or above on the SAT, be in the upper 10 per-cent of their graduating class or have a minimum 3.8 GPA in college-preparation classes.

The Smittcamp Family Honors College began in 1998 with a $1 million gift from Earl and Muriel Smittcamp and family, a prominent agribusi-ness family and longtime sup-porters of Fresno State.

The 2012-13 President’s Scholars, hometowns and high schools are:• Kylie Anderson of ArroyoGrande (Arroyo Grande)• Nicholas Ball of Fresno (San Joaquin Memorial)• Johnathan Benson of Tulare (Tulare Western)• Pamela Bobadilla of Fresno (Edison)• Madeline Byers of Fresno (Bullard)• James Cameron of Fresno (San Joaquin Memorial)• Connor Chase of Valencia (Valencia)• Timothy Compton of Grover Beach (Arroyo Grande)• Samuel Dawson of Kingsburg (Hallmark Charter School)• Ryan Ditchfield of Fresno (Clovis)• Sierra Downey of Petaluma(Casa Grande)• Brennen Fagan of Fresno (University)• Anthony Farnesi of Fresno (Bullard)• Whitney Ferdinandsen of Fresno (Clovis West)• Jennifer Garner of North Fork (Yosemite)• Kyle Garrison of Madera (Madera)• Megan Ginise of Firebaugh (Firebaugh)• Juan Guzman of Fresno

A group of Fresno State marketing students are the new record holders for the world’s largest fruit salad after Guinness World Records con-firmed their entry this week.

The salad, which weighed 10,440 pounds, was made by a group of 97 students and com-munity volunteers on Nov. 3, 2011. It took them just over 11 hours to cut all the fresh peach-es, nectarines, plums, Asian pears and apples that com-prised the dish.

Add in 1,120 ounces of lemon juice and a modified water tank as a bowl and the record-breaking salad, over 1,500 pounds heavier than the previ-ous record of 8,866 pounds, was complete.

Documentation was taken by Axel Reyes, a California Highway Patrol officer, and Frank Alvarez, a forestry tech-nician to independently ver-ify the record. The salad was donated to the Povorello House of Fresno and the Fresno Rescue Mission.

The group of volunteers was organized by students of the Strategic Planning in Marketing (Marketing 188) class, including: Nicolas Morales, Francisco Rodriguez, Michael Leal, Scott MacKellar, Alfredo Escalante, Colin Hough, Sam Mabanta, Tyler Guthrie, Ryan Sherwood, and Gabby Gutierrez.

OpinionOPINION EDITOR, LIANA WHITEHEAD • COLLEGIAN-OPINION@CSUFRESNO.EDUPAGE 2 MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 2012

As technology’s limitless progres-sion occurs before our eyes, students are offered easy alternatives for every day circumstances. With the invention of smart phones and tablets, we are able to carry a world of convenience in our pockets and book bags. Some of these amenities include email, social network-ing, Blackboard, daily e-newspapers, music, games — I can go on for days.

One not-so-new development in par-ticular is taking the college nation by storm. Relationships whether platonic or romantic — are budding and blos-soming over computer monitors all over the world, and more students are joining the online dating revolution.

I’ve always been wary of online dat-ing after experiencing some not-so-happily-ever-afters of my own. But as 2013 grows closer, so have student

relationships powered by the Internet. T h e o n l i n e d a t i n g f r e n z y i s

now worth a whopping $1.9 bil-lion — a massive increase since its $900 million worth in 2007, accord-ing to the Infog raphic Jour nal.

So, needless to say, the virtual dat-ing scene is making waves — tsunamis, rather — and it’s important for stu-dents and other young adults to under-stand the pros and cons of Internet intimacy.

The biggest mis-take we can make is going into this without educating ourselves first. Our safety is on the line, after all.

An article on her-campus.com states that the “number one fear of male online d at e r s i s t h at t h e person they connect with online will look different in person. The number one fear of females is that they will meet a serial killer.” The site also stated that men tend to lie about their age, height and income, whereas women are dishonest about their weight, physical build and age.

Are you nodding in agreement? I think I speak on behalf of most col-lege-aged women when I say yes, I am afraid of marrying an ax murderer. I cannot speak for the men out there, but I imagine women lying on their profiles is irritating, to say the least.

So how can we, as women and men, pro-tect ourselves from Internet predators?

An important thing to look for on any dating website is its security fea-tures. For one, people should not be able to search for specific dating pro-files using Google or other search engines. These sites do exist — you just have to look carefully. Viewers should also be required to become members, which is the case on most dating websites today, but not all.

A n o t h e r w ay t o ensure your safety is editing “page view” options. This means you can block specific users and pick-and-choose who is allowed to view your profile. Lastly, if you do cre-ate a dating profile, don’t provide specif-ics and keep personal details to a minimum. It is smarter to pres-ent your likes and dis-likes or preferences in a mate rather than posting your home

a d d r e s s a n d b l o o d t y p e .To ensure you are visiting decent,

legitimate dating sites, look for important attributes such as person-alized questionnaires — these give you the option to narrow your search for love and focus on the most vital characteristics in a potential mate.

If you are into mountain climbing and mile runs, you probably will not hit it off with a full-time couch potato. Websites that offer personality ques-tionnaires are likely to be more effec-tive than those simply requiring a

username and favorite pickup line placed above a tasteless profile picture.

In an article published on info-graphicjournal.com, it suggests that 64 percent of online daters believe that common interests are the most vital factors in finding love online. It also states that 49 percent of dat-ers base their online dating experi-ence on the physical characteristics

Reading questionnaires and com-pleting one of your own allows you to vicariously pick a person’s brain and lessen your chances of connecting with a polar opposite.

If college students are hoping to solely connect with other students, it would be smart to join a student-only dating or friendship site. This may not be a foolproof way of avoiding a bad match, but at least you can be sure they are within your age preference and share similar educational goals.

Even though the Internet will never be a completely safe place to meet the future Mr. or Mrs., there are ways you can protect yourself in the process. As long as we, as students, take safety precautions and stay skeptical and aware, it is very possible to make genu-ine, long-lasting connections online.

Over 17 percent of today’s married couples met online and one in five “singles” are in a long-term relation-ship with a partner they met on a dat-ing site. As time goes on, these numbers are sure to rise as technology continues to bridge the gap between people and machines, or in this case, the space between two people searching for love.

Response:‘ICCF awards ethics center director’

Michael: “If muslim and other central val-ley religious communities want to honestly support and promote harmony amongst and between religious faiths and cultures, they can start by admonishing the bel-ligerent texts in their holy books, which requires rejecting the central premises of their faiths–that these texts are tran-scendent in nature. Nobody within these communities is willing to do this. The ethics center fails at illustrating that these faiths do not co-exist in harmony because they are objectively incompatible with each other. In an effort to promote civil-ity amongst different faiths and cultures — which is an admirable and worthwhile goal — it is intellectually and morally dishonest by glossing over not only how flagrantly untrue all these mythologies and theologies are but also the way in which we are obligated to acquiesce the glorified insanities of the religious masses. We have very smart people with benign, half-baked versions of western monotheism who are part of the problem because they are pro-tected from intellectual and moral embar-rassment by mass cutlure, which includes the ethics center at Fresno State.”

Response:‘All aboard: undocumented immigrants tour the U.S’

Rachel R. “You say “there is no reason why a person from any cultural and ethnic background cannot become a U.S. citi-zen.” What your article leaves out is that there are plenty of barriers to obtaining legal residency and citizenship: lacking specialized upper-echelon job skills neces-sary to apply for an employment-based visa, lacking the proper family relation-ships to citizens or lawful permanent residents to apply for a family-based visa, escaping a difficult homeland environment that is not yet recognized as a humanitar-ian crisis eligible for refugee or asylee sta-tus… not to mention that immigrants face waits of up to 15 and 20 years to be found eligible for legal status. Imagine having to wait a generation to be with family mem-bers or pursue life, liberty, and happiness. Our immigration system is inhumane and we should strive to make the U.S. a wel-coming, humane place for all.”

make is going into this without educating ourselves first. Our safety is on the line, after all.”

We salute you, Neil Armstrong. Here’s to the first man on the moon, renowned astronaut and professor, and recipient of honors from 17 different countries. For someone who contributed so much to humanity, it’s best to remember him for his life, not his death. Thankfully he lived long enough to see the Curiosity landing on Mars. Rest in peace.

Twitter and fellow social networking sites failed to mourn the death of the correct Armstrong. It wasn’t Tour de France Lance or Green Day’s Billie Joe. Try the first man to walk on our moon.

Thumbs upThe Oatmeal

Online cartoon blog known as “The Oatmeal” raised over $1.1 million to build a museum dedicated to scientist Nikola Tesla at the site of his original laboratory, exceeding the original goal of $850,000. The Oatmeal wrote a comic describing how Tesla was “The greatest geek who ever lived,” and how Thomas Edison paled in comparison.

Thumbs downNorwegian justice system

Anders Behring Breivik, the man who killed 77 people in a mass shooting in Norway last year, was only sentenced to 21 years in prison. That’s not even close to being one year per victim. Not to mention Norway’s prison cells are some of the cushiest on the planet, probably better than your freshman dorm.

sible for the attempt at the world’s largest water balloon fight in April of last year.

The fruit salad was the latest in a series of record attempts for the class, including a suc-cessful effort verified in July by Guinness World Records for world’s largest fruit smoothie.

“This was attempt number 29,” said Dr. William Rice, the professor of the class.

R i c e s a i d t h e r e c o r d attempts helped students learn about thinking of the big pic-ture when approaching a proj-ect.

“These kinds of projects get our students on the world stage,” Rice said, “and provide them with the hands-on expe-rience that propels them into thinking globally and working more efficiently.”

While the world records are notable, Morales said that

although they were an option, they weren’t mandatory.

“This is an optional assign-ment,” Morales said. “There is a lot of required material besides attempting the record itself.”

Rice said his class would be preparing for more world record tries in the future and students should be on the look-out for them.

the new online catalog will be free for students to access, sav-ing them the $25 cost.

The online design will be different from the current online version. The cost to start the online program will be roughly $25,000, Nef said. Those who write the content and design the catalog at this time will then be in charge of the online version as well.

“I think it will be more user-

friendly to students,” Nef said.Though there are still many

decisions on the design of the website, the program will be similar to other univer-sities that currently use an online catalog. One of these universities is Stony Brook University.

T h e L y l e s C o l l e g e o f Engineering at Fresno State and State Center Community College District are sharing a $100,000 grant to increase recruitment, retention and matriculation of underrepre-sented students preparing for engineering and construction management careers.

The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) grant is also designed to strengthen relationships between Fresno-area public higher education institutions. It is part of the association’s national initiative to increase and improve access and suc-cess for underrepresented stu-dents in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

“The Lyles College at Fresno State and the State Center

Community College District are honored to be part of this national initiative,” said Dr. Ram Nunna, dean of the Lyles College of Engineering. “This partnership with APLU will result in new research, men-toring and professional devel-opment opportunities for our students.”

The grant will be used to develop a student peer-mentor network, provide research and project opportunities for stu-dents, bring industry leaders to the region for lectures and develop multi-lingual outreach programs for prospective stu-dents and their families.

Robert Fox, interim associ-ate vice chancellor for the State Center Community College District, said the grant will expand ties with Fresno State. “Our common goal is to ensure that the diverse students in

our region have an articulat-ed and supported pathway to earn degrees in these growing fields,” Fox said.

Funding for this initiative was provided to the APLU by the Kresge Foundation. A d d i t i o n a l g r a n t s w e r e awarded to Alabama A&M, the University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Minnesota and partnering community colleges.

The APLU grant enhances the university’s Campaign for Fresno State, an initiative to raise $200 million in support of scholarships, faculty, programs and facilities. Through July 2012, the campaign had raised more than $191.4 million. It is the university’s inaugural comprehensive campaign and among the largest in the CSU system.

T h e L y l e s C e n t e r f o r I n n o v a t i o n a n d Entrepreneurship at Fresno State has announced that four faculty members have been named “e-baristas” by the Coleman Foundation.

E-baristas are leaders of microcommunities of Coleman Fellows Program participants across the nation building col-laborative educational efforts around entrepreneurship. There are over 200 Coleman fel-lows representing virtually all academic disciplines.

Fresno State faculty e-baris-tas are:

Dr. Andrew Hansz, a profes-sor of finance and business law and director of the Gazarian

Real Estate Center in the Craig School of Business.

Betsy Hays, an associ-ate professor of mass com-munication and journalism in the College of Arts and Humanities.

Dr. Klaus Tenbergen, an assistant professor of food sciences and nutrition and director of the Culinology® program, and Dr. Lizhu Davis, an assistant professor of fashion merchandising, both within the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology.

The four are among 18 Coleman fellows at Fresno State – the largest number on any university campus in the United States.

Hansz, Tenbergen and Davis also received finan-cial support to attend the Experiential Classroom Clinic Sept. 20-23 at Oklahoma State University campuses in Tulsa and Stillwater so they can share their experiences in the Coleman Fellows Program with others.

The Coleman pro g ram expands sel f -employment education as faculty fellows, guided by an entrepreneurship educator, develop courses with entrepreneurial components in their academic discipline. After their fellows year, fac-ulty members join a cohort of colleagues who spread entre-preneurship education across campus and throughout their discipline.

T h e C o l e m a n Fe l l ow s Program was created by the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entre preneurship at Fresno State in 2005. In 2010, the Coleman Foundation adopted the program nation-ally with over 50 colleges and universities participating.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Student Health Center is taking a new approach to edu-cating Fresno State students on alcohol safety—and it's called D.A.A.W.G.

D.A.A.W.G., short for Drug & Alcohol Awareness & Wellness Guide, is a new program by the Health Promotion & Wellness Services Department at the Student Health Center.

The previous program, called The Alcohol Safety Council Student Sub-Committee, was absorbed by D.A.A.W.G. earlier this year.

The old program had numer-ous problems, such as poor structure management and inconsistent membership, said grad student Rosendo Iñiguez, D.A.A.W.G. program coordina-tor.

“I wanted to continue what we were doing with the Safety Council but make it more structured and more of a com-mitment and hopefully make a bigger impact on campus,” Iñiguez said.

The goal of the program is to promote awareness of alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse, and to prevent alcohol- and drug-related incidents among Fresno State students, Iñiguez said.

Though the prog ram is designed to cover all types of substance abuse, Iñiguez and the other members of D.A.A.W.G. are currently work-ing on ways to spread alcohol abuse awareness.

“We don’t discourage drink-ing,” Iñiguez said. “We sim-ply want to give students the tools and skills, so that if they decide to drink they do it in a way that doesn’t harm them-selves or harm others.”

Iñiguez said the program is designed to prevent alcohol

poisoning, drunk driving and other alcohol-related situa-tions derived from its abuse.

D.A.A.W.G. has partnered w i t h p r o f e s s o r Re b e c c a Barnes’ Graphic Design 174 class, which has created many of the colorful posters located around the Fresno State cam-pus, Iñiguez said.

Iñiguez said the posters are designed to clear the misper-ceptions students may have on the amount of alcohol that their peers consume.

“It’s really to let them know what’s going on around cam-pus,” Iñiguez said.

The program is designed to focus on all students, how-ever one of its primary tar-gets are incoming freshmen, said senior Elizabeth Lopez, D.A.A.W.G. member.

“It’s the first time being away from home, so they have more freedom and they’re more peer pressured into drinking,” Lopez said.

The program reaches out to students, such as those in the dormitory community, Lopez said.

Lopez said D.A.A.W.G. mem-bers went to dorm halls to edu-cate students on alcohol aware-

ness. Program members also involved students in a “Pour Me a Drink” game, where stu-dents were asked to pour one drink of alcohol.

Lopez said that some stu-dents were pouring what they believed to be one drink, but were actually pouring four times the established amount as classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“It’s not what you drink,” Iñiguez said. “It’s how much you drink that counts.”

Partnering with University Student Union Productions, program coordinators hosted a free movie night in February at the Student Satellite Union, said senior Crystal Macias, D.A.A.W.G. member.

Before moviegoers watched a screening of “Puss in Boots,” D.A.A.W.G.s handed out bags with facts and safety tips, and the students were shown a slide show where they were asked to fill out a question-naire to hand in at the end of the film, Macias said.

Those who handed in the filled-out questionnaire were given a raffle ticket, which gave them the chance to win gift cards to Starbucks and Target.

Iñiguez said that he wants D.A.A.W.G. to be a place where students suffering from sub-stance abuse or addiction can reach out to for help.

“We don’t necessarily treat them, but we do want to refer them to different services or to facilities on or off campus,” he said.

Kathleen Yarmo, health pro-motion and wellness services coordinator, said one of the services D.A.A.W.G. will refer students to the psychological services at the Student Health Center, where students suffer-ing from substance abuse can

begin treatment.Iñiguez said D.A.A.W.G. is

working on a designated driv-er program. The finer points of the program are still get-ting figured out, he said, but if implemented it will give desig-nated drivers a bonus for stay-ing sober.

Students who sign up will be given a card that they carry around in their wallet. Iñiguez said he wants to partner with local bars and restaurants, which will offer free non-alco-holic drinks or discounted food to the card-carrying designat-ed driver.

“Our goal is to hopefully encourage the use of a desig-nated driver and to prevent drunk driving, DUIs (and) car

accidents,” he said. “We want to keep our students safe.”

Currently there are six mem-bers of D.A.A.W.G., but Iñiguez hopes to recruit more in time.

Being a D.A.A.W.G. member is a one-semester commitment, and Iñiguez encourages any-one who would like to enlist to go to the Health Promotion & Wellness Services Department at the Student Health Center.

“The D.A.A.W.G. program is a good opportunity for stu-dents to get not only experi-enced in health education but also make a difference on cam-pus,” Iñiguez said. “It’s a good opportunity to reach out to stu-dents who want to make a posi-tive change in students’ lives.”

D.A.A.W.G. program to spread alcohol abuse awareness

Fresno State librarian emer-itus Michael Gorman will be among the 10 inaugural induct-ees to the California Library Hall of Fame during ceremo-nies at the California Library Association conference Nov. 2-4 in San Jose.

Gorman joined the Fresno State faculty in 1988 and retired in 2007. As the leader of the campus’ Henry Madden Library, he expanded its use by the community as a research resource and also as a meeting place.

He introduced the library’s first automated catalog in 1992 and developed several special collections, including the Arne Nixon Center for the Study of Children’s Literature, consid-ered the premier facility of its kind in the Western United States.

His greatest achievement in the library world, says the Hall of Fame citation, was editing the “Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules” in 1978 and its 1998 revision.

Gorman oversaw the design and early construction phases

of the Madden Library’s 21st century makeover.

The outdated north structure (erected in the 1950s) structure was razed and a state-of-the-art, much-bigger, architectur-ally striking four-story build-ing rose in its footprint. The south annex of the Madden Library, which opened in 1980, was extensively renovated dur-ing the construction project.

The new Madden Library opened in early 2009. It has won awards for its Native American-inspired design and ecofriendly construction and furnishings. It is used for open-to-the-community exhibitions, meetings, awards ceremo-nies and receptions and has received increasing visitation each year.

Gorman lives in Chicago where he continues to be a prolific author of articles and books. In 2011, he published his memoir “Broken Pieces: A Library Life 1941-1978” (ALA Editions/$35). He is halfway through writing a novel set in his native Britain during early World War II.

“It is great to be in a big city again,” said Gorman, who grew up in London, “and to be

near my younger daughter and her family and, in particular, to see our two ‘American’ grand-sons frequently.” (Two other grandchildren live in London.)

“I am very gratified to be an inaugural member of this

Hall of Fame, especially when I consider the company I am in,” said Gorman. “I particu-larly admire the work and writ-ings of the late [UCLA Library School founder] Lawrence Clark Powell, whom I had the

honor of meeting when he was in his mid-90s and we were attending the 100th birthday celebrations of another library luminary.”

D.A.A.W.G. Safety Facts & Tips

• One drink is equal to: 12 oz. of beer, 5 oz. of wine and 1.5 oz. of liquor (80 proof).

• It takes approximately 1 hour for the body to eliminate one drink of alcohol. To maintain a low blood alcohol content, pace your drinks to approximately 1-2 drinks per hour.

• Eat food before and while you drink. Food in the stomach will slow down the absorp-tion process.

• Alcohol will have a greater effect than if you are dehydrated. Alternate alcoholic beverages with water to keep your body hydrated.

• Women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood because women tend to have higher percentages of body fat.

Members of the Indian com-munity celebrated its indepen-dence Saturday in the Satellite Student Union at Fresno State.

The event marked the 66th anniversary of India gaining its independence to become the world’s largest democracy.

“We are here this after-noon to reflect upon the importance of the relation-ship of India with each and every one of us — of all that has been accomplished,”said Cong ressman Jim Costa. “Today, American-Indian rela-tionships are better than they have been in many years,” The celebration began with a flag ceremony. People marched with both the Indian and the U.S. flags being marched down an aisle to the beat of a dohl, a traditional Indian drum.

The children of the Fresno Indo American Community sang the national anthems of both countries. Then, a Sikh prayer, the “Deh Siva Var Mohe” was recited while a video played in the background for the Indian community.

After the prayer, there was a moment of silence for two recent national tragedies – the shootings in Aurora, Colo. and in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis.

Costa was the main speaker at the event, speaking about American-Indian relations.

“It is fitting and appropri-ate that we recognize the com-mon bonds that India and the United States share,” Costa said. “As two democracies, that first and foremost, [they] hold

human rights and religious freedoms most dear.”

Costa ended his speech by awarding a certificate of special recognition to Dr. Sudarshan Kapoor, a former Fresno State professor of social work, who was recog-nized for his work for racial harmony and civil rights.

Kapoor was nominated as chairman of the Peace Garden Advisory Committee after lead-ing the movement to establish the garden.

“It is very important for all of us to use the tradition of our culture from our country,” Kapoor said.

T he fest ivi t ies contin-ued with a dance, Ganesha Dhimahi, performed by four girls from the Natyamritam School. The dance movements told the story of the one-tusked, elephant-headed god-Ganesha. The dancers wore colorful, silky outfits adorned with gemstones and bells to ring to a beat.

Shri Par thasarathi the consul general of India in San Francisco presented the Recognition Award to the Indo American Heritage Forum, Fresno, and Indo U.S. Heritage Association of Fresno for their patriotic work.

Dance performances took over for the rest of the presen-tation as Kiran Mehmi danced to “Des Rangila.”

Si tanjal i Chandra and Nileen Clark performed a clas-sical dance to show the grace and beauty of India’s dance. Bharatanatyam originated in Southern India.

The dance group, Dhiyaan Raniyan, put on a show danc-ing the Giddha. Over 20 girls

danced the very popular folk dance, spinning their scarves and jingling their bells while shaking their hips as the audi-ence clapped along.

The night ended with one final dance, the Bhangra, with young boys. All the children wore bright colors and danced in a synchronized and loud manner — like the finale at a fireworks show.

Samosa was served with chutney on the side to compli-ment all the traditional danc-ing and cultural videos shown during the night and to spice things up.

C o s t a s a i d I n d i a ’ s Independence Day is impor-tant for not just India, but for the every nation.

Kapoor said, “Indian culture is one of the oldest cultures on this planet that is still alive and dynamic.”

Parents prepared children who participated in the Bhangra Folk Dance.

The Fresno State volleyball team got off to a running start this season, going 2-1 in the El Paso Sports Commission Invitational on Aug. 24-25 — the Bulldogs first tournament of the season.

T h e B u l l d o g s d e f e a t e d h o s t University of Texas-El Paso in five sets on Friday, and swept Idaho State 3-0 Saturday after losing in three sets to tournament champion Arizona State.

Junior outside hitters Marissa Brand and Korrin Wild led the offense, netting 42 and 35 kills, respectfully, in the two-day tournament. Both were all-tournament selections.

“Right now our offense is pretty strong. As long as we’re passing balls we are pretty unstoppable after the net,” Bulldogs’ coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell said.

“It was a much tougher tournament than we expected, the teams were pretty evenly matched,” she said. “We definitely had the capability to beat any of the teams in that tournament, but we’re happy with our results.”

Fresno State’s demonstrated solid attacking. In their first two wins of the season, the offense out-killed the opposition 105-94 and hit a combined .292 on 234 attempts.

Defensively, however, the Bulldogs played with less blocking efficiency than the other teams in the tournament. All three opponents out-blocked the Bulldogs in their matchups, 30-22 overall. For the Bulldogs, the 25-11 loss in the second set against Arizona State was their most lopsided set loss in the tournament.

“Defensively, that’s where we are struggling and we’re trying to work out the kinks,” Netherby-Sewell said. “We’ll be hitting that pretty hard this week. We’ve got to become a better team defensively. If we do, we are going to be tough to beat all the way around.”

Compared to the last four seasons, this year’s campaign started an unusual

fashion. The last time the team began its season on the road was in 2007 at a University of Washington tournament in Seattle.

Fresno State does not open at home until Sept. 7, when they host Sacramento State, UC Davis, and Utah Valley in the Fresno State Classic.

Netherby-Sewell said that going on the road is a more ideal way to start the season.

“Actually, I’ve been trying to get the team on the road for the first week for a while now,” she said. “It finally worked out this year, and it’s great because we get to work out the bugs and know each other a little bit better as we’re traveling together and be without distractions.

“ I think it was a really positive thing and I’m happy that this is the first year we got to do it. Another road trip next week will really enhance our team experience and by the time we get to the Save Mart Center we should be looking pretty good.”

Fresno State was tabbed in the preseason coaches’ polls to place fourth in the Mountain West this year. The Bulldogs open conference play Sept. 20 at Boise State.

“I think it’s respectable,” Netherby-Sewell said. “They don’t know us, they just know where we’ve come from and the progress we’ve made over the past two years.

“We fully expect to be competing for a championship at the end of the year.”

Fresno State will go on the road again this Friday to compete in the Omni Hotels Colorado Tournament in Boulder, Colo.

Friday the 31st...This season’s special sports insert edition of The Collegian

comes out!

Since suffering a season-ending injury last year in a non-contact drill during practice, senior strong safety Phillip Thomas has been anticipating his return to the field.

With the initiation of Tim DeRuyter as head coach of the Bulldogs last spring, the team’s mantra of being “fast, physical, and fanatical” has resonated with everyone, especially Thomas.

“Turnovers is the key for us and being able to strip the ball. The ball is the issue, so we just need to get it, and that’s how we’re coached,” Thomas said.

Bor n and raised in Bakersfield, Thomas’ love for the game gives him satisfaction. It also allows him to be on course to someday be drafted and help him provide for his mother and siblings. During the Valley championship, Thomas distinctly remembers beating out Fresno’s Bullard High to give the Drillers the win.

“Football gives me the opportunity to get an education and it also gives the opportunity to take care of my family in the long run,” Thomas said. “A memorable moment was when we came down here and beat Bullard for the Valley championship. Just getting the ring in high school was a very memorable moment for me.”

Originally recruited to Fresno State by former coach Pat Hill, Thomas really liked the staff and the football team as they radiated a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. With DeRuyter at the helm now, Thomas feels confident that he can grasp the defensive playbook.

“What got me to Fresno State was the staff. Coach Hill recruited me and I just went to a place that I was comfortable with,” Thomas said. “I respected and appreciated coach Hill and so that’s why I came here. I feel like I know the playbook well enough to be able to help others and teach others if they’re struggling.”

With the new defensive scheme of 3-4 replacing last year’s traditional model of 4-3, Defensive Coordinator Nick Toth will look to Thomas to be an even bigger playmaker. His ability to make a physical play or drop back in coverage is a prime factor in why Toth counts on Thomas to be one of his defensive leaders.

“Phillips is an explosive football player,” Toth said. “When I say explosive, he’s explosive on contact. He finishes physical plays, tackles, but he’s explosive in pass coverage, too.”

F i n i s h i n g i n 2 0 1 0 w i t h t h r e e interceptions, which led the team in that category, Thomas showcased elite speed at the strong safety position. Toth tremendously applauds Thomas’ uncanny ability to not only finish a play with physicality, but also drop back and cover speedy wide receivers.

“He can get in coverage and he has a burst,” Toth said. “Not many guys that you say in college football are physical tacklers, down-hill tacklers that can knock the ball back but also can cover people anywhere on the field.”

During the spring and summer training camps, Thomas has demonstrated his football intelligence by taking what Toth has preached to a greater level. With less than a week before the season starts, the Bulldogs are gearing up and Thomas looks to lead the defense by setting an aggressive tone.

“My expectations for myself are to be a leader,” Thomas said. “To be a sound player, and go out there and help everybody by getting some wins in order to win the Mountain West Conference.”

“Phillip Thomas has great football I.Q., which means he understands the play book. But when he doesn’t have the play book, he sees plays out in front of him that he can digest without having to be told,” Toth said. “He’s right where I want him to be!”
