BiyanChan—THE COLLEGIAN
CSUF Journalism students cruise the info highway
By David Mlrhadl
As students and instructors
at CSU, Fresno are well aware,
the ad vent of computers, elec¬
tronic mail and the informa¬
tion superhighway have forced
many to make many new
changes in their lives.
The tools of the21st century
were used recently by a group
of CSLTF mass communica¬
tion/journalism students as
part of a photo workshop spon¬
sored by the National Press Pho¬
tographers Association.
Under the direction of MCJ
, professor Greg Lewis, students
' assembled a photo page depict¬
ing the lives of Southeast Asians
in a culture clash. The piece, titled
"A Community Within,* con¬
trasts the diverse communities
that comprise one of Central
California's largest minorities.
The photos depict their struggle
to preserve their past while as
similating into the .mainstream.
Lewis said the opportunity to
work with modem technology
was an added incentive to do the
project
"Using the Internet, you get to
compare your work and get a
better feeling and see how you
compare and leam by seeing the
work of others," he said.
Twenty-five schools from the
United States and around the
world participated, including the
University of Michigan, Univer¬
sify of Missouri, as well as univer¬
sities from South Africa, Canada
and New Zealand. ,
'It was a kick to me to see us
being able to work with other uni¬
versities," Lewis said.
The experience of transmitting
photographs through the Internet
exemplified how the romputer and
technology has crept into the world
of media publications, and partici¬
pants on this project had mixed
feelings about the role of media
technology in the future
"It's here and it's now, you are
already lagging if you don't change.

What, were you doing
these past Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings at 6:06
A.M.? More than likely,
youweren't watching the
early morning sky for the
NASASf^ce Shuttle Erateroor
to fry over Fresna' -
The space shuttle was tak¬
ing radar images of the Fresno
area (as well as many other
places throughout the world)
in the interest of mapping
vegetation, forests and wet¬
lands. CSUF Professor Dr.
Jack Paris, Director of
^ Geo Information Technology,
says the piactafaljppBral ions
of this radar mapping may
have included answers to
questions about global warm¬
ing and malaria transmission
in the tropical forest The in¬
formation could also be use¬
ful to crop growers here in
theSan Joaquin valjey, as they
pertain to effective usage of
land.
Dr Paris is also a NASA
Principal Investigator in the
project. He is responsible for
managing and interpreting
the information on ***********
in. th e tropical forests of Gua¬
temala and the Yucatan Dr.
Paris, approximately 20
CSUF students and nearly 500
Fresno-area K-12 students
have been taking ground
measurements of the crops in
Fresno which will be com¬
pared with data from the
shuttle. .
The Endeavor has already
completed a mission of this
sort earlier this year from
April 9-20. The purpose of
this recent mission was to
collect data to be compared
with live April findings and
monitor seasonal changes.
Fresno is a significant con¬
tributor to die study because
there were crops growing
here in April while most other
agricultural areas of the
United States were too cold.
The Endeavor 'is carrying
the Space Radar Laboratory,
Flight 2 (SRL-2) which has
two component systems
called the Space borne Imag¬
ing Radar, Model C (SIR-O
and the X-Band Synthetic
Aperture Radar (X-SAR). The
shuttle passed over the San
Joaquin Valley Wednesday
at 5:47 AM and Thursday at
5:28 AM. It could be seen as
