Fresno Slate's athletic director
Al Bohl welcomed home Mike Hill,
a former Bulldog football assistant
coach yesterday.
Hill was named as the new head
football coach Tuesday morning at
a press conference.
"I have worked very hard to get
to this day." Hill said. "My job is to
continue the tradition that Jim
(Sweeney) established."
Hill, 44. is an assistant coach for
tight ends and offensive line for the
NFL's Baltimore Ravens.
He takes over the coaching job
immediately.
"I just am very proud to be the
man that is following Jim
Sweeney." Hill said.
Bohl. who conducted three dif¬
ferent searches for a new head
coach at the schools he visited, said
he was pleased with the new coach.
"After a careful and thorough
search, we are confident that we
have the right person to lead Fresno
State football into a new era," Bohl
said.
Bohl called Hill a master
teacher, an enthusiastic football
coach, a great recruiter, a good
motivator, an experienced football
coach and someone who relates
well to his players.
"He is a perfect fit for the, uni¬
versity and this community." Bohl
said.
With Sweeney's departure,
questions are raised about the
coaching staff.
"I am not really ready to com¬
ment on that. 1 want to talk to ev¬
erybody on this foqtball staff' Hill
said.
He added he was going to meet
with the staff later on Tuesday.
"There are some decisions that
have to be made." Hill said.
Hill said he envisions a new and

"I really think we are going to
be a physical team. We're going to
throw the football. We are going to
be able to win football games in the
fourth quarter by running the foot¬
ball." Hill said.
In order to fulfill these goals Hill
is going to have to recruit the play¬
ers.
"The key to recruiting is: you got
to be on the right guys." Hill said.
"You got to find the right guys. And

At a time when environmental
consciousness makes daily head¬
lines. Fresno State is keeping pace
with the times.
The university's Office of Envi¬
ronmental Health and Safety
(EH&S) guards the campus ecol¬
ogy.
"Let's say California would pass
a new threshold value for pesticides
in water Let's also suppose that the
water at Fresno State would con¬
tain too much of these pesticides.
Then, our water specialist would
file complaints about that.*' Stephen
R. King, assistant director of pub¬
lic safety.fsaid.
The office is responsible for
tracking developments in environ¬
mental health and safety laws and
regulations and determining re¬
quirements that apply to the uni\ er-
sity

ists for uater quality and radiation."

Do something good for someone else today— donate blood
By Ee-Yen Phun
Special to The Daily Collegian
Donating blood saves lives.
Anyone over 17. weighing at
least 110 pounds with a social se¬
curity card, has the potential to save
a life.
On average, 200 pints of blood
are needed daily to be supplied to
32 hospitals around Fresno.
"Many people are probably un¬
aware of the importance of blood,"
Robert Frediani said.
Frediani. donor service manager,
of Central California Blood, is in
charge of registration and screen¬
ing procedure of donors.
Donating blood is simple
Donors fill out a 25-question
sheet on health history. Donors are
asked more of their health history.
Questions about sexual activity and
sexual history are asked.
Temperature, blood pressure,
and pulse are also measured.
If donors pass the screenings,
they are ready to give blood.
"We'll draw blood from which¬
ever arm that has the best vein, af¬
ter cleaning it with a couple of dif¬
ferent solutions so that it will be
sterile. Then we complete the ve¬
nial puncture." Frediani said. "The
actual needle is only in the arm for
10 minutes and it is pulled out after
one pint of blood is drawn. Our
body has about 10-12 pints of blood
and we can usually handle it with¬
out any problem."
Often, nurses ask donors to stay
for about 10-15 minutes wrblc hav -
ing a snack and something to drink.
"Depending on how busy we
are. the whole process should orrly
take around 45 minutes to an hour."
Frediani said.
