A victim of clinical
depression, Hanson
graduated in 199^
By Jennifer Shaw
Staffwriter
Clayton Garvin Hanson loved to
listen to Bach, and hard rock. He
was a "hay backer, truck driver,
biologist, researcher, artist and
^gourmet chef." In September,
1991, Hanson drove out to the
Mqjave Desert, filled his car with
noxious exhaust and took his life.
Hanson, a CSUF graduate, died
as a result of severe clinical de,-
pression. He was 28.
Hanson had just graduated from
CSUF in May, 1991. with a
bachelor's degree in biological
sciences and minor degrees in
chemistry and fine arts. His artis¬
tic medium was meticulous line)
drawings. Often, Hanson depicted
himself in his art in the form of a
mouse.
Hanson lived through-, ut his fife
in the San JoaquinVafley and was
raiserjiiflvlaa'eTaT
Whileastudentat CSUF, Hanson
worked for a year and a half as a
research assistant in the Animal
Laboratory.
The research team, under the
direction of Adjunct Professor of
Biology V.K. Murthy, conducted
experiments on rats to assess the
causes of diabetes. .
As a result of their findings,
Hanson co-authored a paper pub¬
lished in an international journal.
It is a rare instance for university
undergraduates to be included as
authors in a scientific publication.
"The story of this illness is for
everyone. Some people have their
first bout with this disorder in their
40s, but it's typical to have it in
your 20s," said Clayton's mother,
Mary Hanson, who thinks
Hanson's problems began in the
fourth grade, when he was diag¬
nosed with low blood sugar.
"He had described his life as
changing when he was in the fourth
grade," she said.
"We just thought Clay was very
eccentric and would just go on
forever," said Mary Hanson.
"Clay did not realize he had the
disorder and. maybe students at
[CSUFJ may be in the same posi¬
tion," she said.
"First of all, there is help. Go to
your mental health center. There
are procedures that can even get
the disorder under control and I am
living proof of that," said Mary
Hanson, who also suffers from
clinical depression. "So, take ac¬
tion. Fight back. Fight back."

CSSA

"We call it CSSA-by-mail,"
Demings said. "They send me all
the information on everything. We
do everything but attend the con¬
ferences."
Five of the 20 CSU campuses
are not part of the CSSA, including
CSUF, which dropped out two
years ago.
Two of the five non-participat¬
ing schools cannot afford the cost,
and the other three have dropped
oqt for political reasons, according
to Whitfield.

Experiment flies on shuttle
ondary pay load on Discovery's
ATLAS mission. The students are
affiliated with the Colorado Space
Grant Consortium.
The experiment is called the
Solar Ultra-Violet Experiment, or
STJVE. It recorded solar radiation
changes in the extreme ultraviolet
portion of the electromagnetic
spectrum. A 35-mm camera took
simultaneous pictures of the sun,
recording solar activity.
