Page 2 Tuesday. Septembers. 1988 The Dotty Collegian J- Opinion Guard planes should buzz off Editorial The Air National Guard always makes; their presence known on and around the CSUF cam¬ pus. The roar of jet engines is the unwelcome wake-up call for area residents each morning. Walls and windows rattle disrupting business¬ es and classes throughout the day. And the noise continues Until well after sundown. On any given day, huge bombers can be seen cruising over the CSUF campus at alti¬ tudes that olten border on worrisome. Even as the population booms within the flight path of the airport, local politicians unwilling to take a strong stand against the Air National Guard. Last year, restrictions on flight patterns were placed on commercial flights at Fresno Air Ter¬ minal. No resrictions were placed on Air Na¬ tional Guard flights. But the planes labeled "United'" aren't the crux of the problem. Air National Guard is. Local leaders said that Air National Guard was not under their juristiction and could not be forced into compliance with any plan. They also expressed a fear of losing jobs the Guard brings to the city if they pressed the issue. So the Air National Guard, holders of a long- term lease, evidently also holds the insur¬ mountable right to annoy the citizens of East Fresno and Clovis. But more importantly than the noise, the situation is potentially life-threatening. As Fresno's population center moves eastward, die dangerous low-altitude flights place dense¬ ly populated areas in danger. As recent airshow tragedies have illustrated, even the most skilled pilots can make mis¬ takes. We shouldn't have to wait for a deadly accident to initiate change. The Air National Guard is an important em¬ ployer in Fresno, but is it so important as to put lives in danger? It is the responsibility of the Air National Guard to stop the selfish practice of flying with blatant disregard for the people of this city. Low-altitude flights directly over the CSUF campus are especially unconscionable. If the Air National Guard refuses to change their inconsiderate attitude toward the people of this area, then it may be time for the people of this area to reassess the current accom¬ modating attitude toward the Guard.

If he is so unhappy here, why does he stay? To tell us how miserable we are? When I was growing up, my father told me: "There are two kinds of people: those who build and those who tear down." There are those who "bitch and moan," and then there are those who see the possibilities. Thank goodness for the latter category. They are the ones out planting trees and flowers and striving to make a garden out of a desert. They are here because there is room to grow; because going to work is not a two-hour commute and there's no snow to be shoveled in the winter. They are here because the cost of bousing isn't $1,000 a month for a studio apartment. They are also here because most people here are friendly and have a gentleness of spirit not evident in many places. Granted, it is beautiful (and cool!) in the coastal villages and in secluded moun tain re treats. I hope I can retire there someday; I go there as often as I can, to "commune with nature," to rejuvenate my "soul." Meanwhile, I live in my (modest) Clovis home (with no vault!—those who know anything about the area know you hit tiardpan three feet down!) and spend what time I can planting trees and flowers and considering the possibilities. •' -. ■ MC.
