Onthe north side of the fourth
floor of the Henry Madden Library,
she grew tired of studying and lay
her head on the table in front of her
to rest for awhile. r~~
She was alone. She closed her
eyes and dozed off for a few mo¬
ments, oblivious Jo-any danger.
Suddenly, she felt the roughness of
i's hand rubbing her leg and
the inside of her right thigh.
She awoke with a start and turned
to see the ugly face of a stranger.
"Why did you touch me?" she
asked him while shaking with fright
It is every woman's nightmare
— the sex offender.
Though most women, if not all,
are cognizant of sueh people, most
probably don't expect to see them
lurking at Fresno State University.
However, reports of sexual of¬
fenses and unwanted touching in
the Madden Library are not un-
They average about one every
several weeks. v

A call for diversity in the nation's
news rooms resounded during
Monday's noontime speech given
by Lisa Chung, executive director
»of die Asian American Journalist's
Association.
"There has to be some kind of
reality-based reporting nowadays
and I think the industry is very
much in danger of not realizing
that," Chung said.
Speaking to a group of 20 stu¬
dents, Chung stressed the need for
diverse media coverage. Diversity,
she said, has become a buzz word
for the 1990s.
"The bottom line is that it's a
business decision because if any
business is going to remain viable,
it has to become more attuned to
society," Chung said. "News orga¬
nizations have to realize how to
serve new audiences."
Editors who decide what goes
into the news have a broader view
of what will sell, she said.
"The media are woefully
underrepresented in different mi¬
nority groups," Chung said.
Continued underrepresentation
has lead to misunderstanding and a
lack of sensitivity^by others in the
media profession, she said.
Chung recently ended a J 0-year
association with the San Francisco
Chronicle, where she covered
Alameda County government, po¬
lice and fire departments, San Fran¬
cisco City Hall and Asian Ameri¬
can affairs.
As the executive director of
AAJA, Chung administers, creates
and raises funds for programs that
support journalists of Asian heri-

The cost of attending college is
increasing but there is aid out there
if you look for it
According to the American
Council on Education, the cost of
attending a public university in¬
creased more than 70 percent over
the last 10 years and now averages
$8,096 per year.
Over- the same period, the cost
of attending a private institution
more than doubled to $17,530 a
year.
At Fresno State University, the
financial aid office estimates the
yearly cost for a full-time student
to be around $8,800, or 10 percent
higher than the national average.
At the same time, the amount of
financial aid that is available to
students has increased significantly,
but there has been a change in the
kind of aid.
"Since the beginning of the '80s,
there has been a shift in federal aid.
It used to be two-thirds grants and
•
one-third loans. Now the situation
is reversed," said Joseph Heuston,
director of the financial aid office.
Currently, 8,959 students at FSU
receive some, kind of financial aid,
half of which is in the form of
loans, die rest, grants or scholar¬
ships.
Although the number of students
that apply for aid has increased —
last year more than 15,000 stu¬
dents applied — the financial aid
