Margosian
succumbs
to cancer
By David Mirhadi
Dr. Arthur Margosian, a CSU,
Fresno professoremeritus of jour¬
nalism who died last week, was
remembered by colleagues as "a
man who could never say-no."
Margosian, 64, died Nov. 19
after a four-month battle with
"He was a kind, caring indi-
^*
vidual," said Jim Tucker, a pro¬
fessor of mass cqgununication
and journalism. Tucxer first met
Margosian at CSU, Fresno 26
years ago and the two shared an
office together during part of
Margosian's tenure at CSU,
Ffresno.
"He was the first person I met
when I came here," Tucker said.
"The thing that impressed me the
most about Art was that he just
kept on giving. No obituary and
noeulogy could eversay asmuch
as what he did," said Tucker,

Margosian gave most of his
time and effort to students and
colleagues durihg his lengthy
career as an instructor at CSU,
Fresno. That, according to
Tucker, was his greatest asset
"His office was always full of
students and the phone never
stopped ringing," he said. "It
seemed like everyone in town-
wanted Art's direction, his coun¬
sel. I think sometimes people took
advantage of that."
Tucker spoke to Margosian
shortly before his death, and said
'the man acted just like it was

Paraplegic reaches peak in life
By Leah Perich
He
When Wayne Willoughby gave his speech
Wednesday night in the upstairs library, he spoke
of success. A success of overcoming mountains of
physical disadvantages. >
"Sometimes the body may fail, but his spint
never does'/'said USU lecture coordinator Jonathan
Medina when introducing Willoughby as the lec¬
turer for USU Productions.
Willoughby, a 42-year-old paraplegic who has
gone through many physical setbacks, spoke about
his life and success as a mountain climber.
In our society it's hard to be a disabled person,
we're treated badly. We're pitied and scoffed at. V
feel what I am doing will help change that, and help
(society] to see what we're capable of/' he said.
As a climber, Willoughby halmade great strides.
has climbed El Capitain in Yosemite, a climb he
said 20 percent of climbers whd start don't finish.
Willoughby said Yosemite "startecj^ny dream
of doing big walls."
But in August, in a greater achievement of climb¬
ing walls, Willoughby became the first paraplegic
to climb the Diamond Route of Long's Peak in
Colorado. A wall that has erne of the highest peaks
and is considered one of the hardest in North
America.
Willoughby said this was a "surprising thing to
be able to be there with my past history."
The past history Willoughby referred to started
when he was diagnosed with polio at 9 months old
in 1953.   C
The disease affected him in such a way that he
had to have two inches of bone removed from his
femur. He also had to have a 18 inch rod placed in>
his hip that was removed a year and half later,
which caused him to have to "learn to walk all over
again" ^ ^
