The corporate killing
of your Fresno State
The destruc¬
tion of our
campus is well
under way into
the new
miliaria.
Students are to
blame for
bringing big
business to a
growth-oriented
campus.
The problem
stems from lack
of understand¬
ing and appre¬
ciation of CSUF.
GEORGE CONSTANTIN0P0ULOS
Managing Editor
You are killing Fresno State University.
That four "fast-food" joints newly opened for
the Fall semester at CSU Fresno tells us about
our campus destruction.
Subway, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. and China Sta¬
tion have squatted on CSUF's Food Services
facilities, kicking out any identity with the
university and providing intersection/city
blight right here.
It was nice to come to school, located sur¬
prisingly enough right on huge Shaw Avenue,
and not be confronted with corporate America
boardroom hysterical visions paranoia. Con¬
gratulations, we now have real junk being
served up on the university, and it's not the
food.
The food that Food Services dispensed may
not have always been appealing. Supposedly,
students demanded that the new Fast Food
Four would be better than the existing Coun¬
try Store/Pit/Bucket/Cafeteria quadumviate.
One could argue that a pizza franchise was
already in operation here and we had a fran-
chised frozen yogurt
stand as well. We
should have expected
China Carl's Taco
Subway Station to
storm the beaches of
Moo U. We were
already selling Snick¬
ers bars and Sprite
sodas, so obviously
a double sweet and
sour roast beef and
turkey club served on
crisp tortillas with
soy ketchup.
This came about
because the 19,000
enrollment let it
happen.
In page 11 of the
CSUF "Plan for the
'90s" prepared for
the Office of the
President (Dr. John
Welty), three points
are offered under the
'university's areas for
improvement' that
point to student
apathy and derelic¬
tion in the demise of
our campus:
"Lack of student
involvement in uni¬
versity life beyond
the classroom," "stu¬
dents' perception
that some services
are of low quality"
and "insufficient
pride in the physical
appearance of the
campus."
The task force that
prepared the report
was on target. But
how did the students,
YOU, get more in¬
volved in the univer¬
sity? You brought
corporate America in,
destroying the little
autonomy you in
your youth can enjoy
before going out into
your bleak capitalist
mortality.
You were not satis¬
fied with a little
crammy food on
campus. You were
not satisfied that
these same fast food
operations litter the
Fresno community.
You were not satis¬
fied in keeping them
off. You lazy pigs
couldn't get in your
car to go to them and
eat to your bodily
decay.
You collaborated
with an arch-conser¬
vative hamburger
pusher who would
like you to lose your
personal freedom and
choice for women.
Not only did you let
him take over the
Cafeteria, you eagerly
hand over your
money like an idiot.
You don't have pride
in the CSUF campus
because you do not
have an beauty inside
you. Do you ever
notice the jays hop¬
ping py the Kennel
Bookstore? What

Huh? I'm talking to
you. There's a plaque
on the cafeteria in
remembrance of
Martin Luther King,
Jr. The beautiful Dr.
King, smeared. He's
been defiled with
Carl's Jr. selling
burgers on the other
side of the wall.

I see what's next.
We'll let Barnes &
Noble take over Ken¬
nel. Gallo can haye
our enology program.
You will let it happen.
You'll let them take
your teachers from ya
and give you a video
terminal. You'll let
them "soft" your
brain. Soft and soft
and soft.
Then, you'll let them
take over you. You'll
all be big, happy
corporate dumbots.
You won't be able to
notice a jay, or a four-
hundred-year-old
book or even your
face,
I'm goin' with ya.
I've eaten three Sub¬
way foot-long sand¬
wiches. I hear the
shackles of capital
boardrooms a'comin.
