Young's off-court trpubles continue to mount
By David Childers
The Daily Collegian
Fresno State basketball player,
Dominick Young, in the midst of a
rumored investigation of alleged
point-shaving, is scheduled to ap¬
pear in Fresno County Court on
March 18 for several traffic viola¬
tions committed on campus last
September.
Young was driving on campus
when Officer Jeremy Grimes pulled
him over for an expired registration.
Grimes also found that Young's li¬
cense was suspended.
The court date comes on the
heels of a conviction in October of
last year for similar charges - driv¬
ing on campus with a suspended li¬
cense and with an expired registra¬
tion.
Young was fined over $900 for
the first set of violations, but was
given a conditional sentence allow¬
ing the fine to be reduced if he ob¬
tained a valid California Driver's li¬
cense in the stated amount of time.
Records show that Young's li¬
cense was originally suspended in
April of 1993 for failing to appear
in court to face traffic violations.
DMV records show that the license
was most recently suspended in
December of 1995, and remains
expired.
The original charges will also be
reviewed on March 18 along with
the charges from last semester.
"It appears that he was given a
conditional sentence (on the first
charges), and may have violated
that sentence." said Court Clerk
Melvin Kevorkian.
Young's legal troubles also ex¬
tend to civil cases.
Fresno County records show
that three different apartment com¬
plexes in the Fresno State area have
used the legal system to evict
Young.
The most recent case, filed on
behalf of Cedar Tree Apartments
early last year, sought eviction for
Young and roommates William
Miller and Elliot Murray for past-
due rent. Young and Miller were
also sued for eviction by Sandal¬
wood Gardens.
The Scottsmen Too apartment
complex took Young to court for
failure to abide by his rental agree¬
ment. According to court docu¬
ments "the plaintiff has received
numerous complaints of loud noises
and boisterous activities."
A former friend of Young, Mel¬
issa Squeo. also won a judgment in

Food science
creates exotic
ice cream
By Rosanne Tolosa
The Daily Collegian
Tahitian Vanilla is the flavor of the month
for four students in the food science program.
Janice Cady, Karla Carlsen, Rebecca Lang
and Jill Mulcahy are developing a new ice
cream flavor as part of the Institute of Food
Technologists Product Development compe¬
tition.
John Budin, a lecturer in enology, food
science and nutrition and adviser tp the group,
said that the objective of the competition is
to develop a product which would be com¬
petitive in the food market.
'The overall theme is, "Why should a
company buy into this idea ?'" Budin said.
"Why invest a tremendous^mount of re¬
sources into this product T *
The group has attempted to answer those
questions in a preliminary report which will
determine whether they will be selected to
be among the six finalists competing in the
National Meeting in Orlando, Fla.
The team has received some extra help in
the form of a $7,000 competitive grant fora
proposal submitted to the California Egg
Commission (CEC).
"$2,000 will go to the costs of develop¬
ing this product and the other $5,000 will pay
for the group's travel expenses if chosen to

classes in front of
Fresno State researcher developing new food-processing technique
By Jennifer Brodie
The Daily Collegian '
Carter Clary, a scientist for the
Viticulture and Enology Research
Center at Fresno State, is experi¬
menting with a microwave and
vacuum dehydration facility
(MIVAC) that produces dried food
products.
The MIVAC process offers the
food-processing industry an oppor¬
tunity to create new dried food
products. This process is unique be¬
cause the food products retain their
normal appearance and nutrients.
"The taste is more like fresh
fruit, because it's not cooked,"
Clary said. "All the vitamins and
nutrients are unchanged- they're
just concentrated. It's still a raw
product."
This process integrates micro¬
wave dehyration into a vacuum to
dry food rapidly at low tempera¬
tures. Lightweight dried products
that retain their color, flavor, shape
and nutritional value are produced
without additives.
Microwave dehydration occurs
inside a stainless steel vessel in a
vacuum. Three drying modules are
contained in the vessel; a liquid
medium pre-dner. a microwave unit
and a radiant heat source.
Dehydration in a vacuum low¬
ers the boiling point o\ water, mak¬
ing it feasible to dry foods rapidly
at temperatures belovs, I 30 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The modules each apply differ¬
ent technologies to the drying pro¬
cess. The liquid medium pre-drier,
