conflicted with that given by O'Reilly.
Chris Reynolds, a reporter for Insight,
said that Insight pho*pgrapher Mark
Zahner reported the incident after
seeing the broken display case. Zahner
contacted campus police st 11:20 Mon¬
day night, which Is 35 minutes after
O'Reilly said the police were first con¬
tacted.
Zahner had gone for a cup of coffee
when he and a student passing through
the Business building saw the broken
display case.
According to Zahner, the other
student said he was going to call the
breakdown   of   calls   received   by   the
police dispatcher Monday night
According to Anderson, the official
police report states that the campus
police dispatcher received a call at
approximately 11:20 Monday night
from  someone   in   a  phone  booth  on
The caller said he had passed the
display booth in the Business building
and saw the broken 'glass and wanted
to report the incident to the police.
Anderson said that the police report
did not give the name of the caller.
Immediately following that phone call,
the dispatcher received a phone call
from an Insight staff member
After the Insight phone call, the
dispatcher received a third call from
Elbert Kelsey, a campus security
guard who was on duty Monday night.
Kelsey also reported the break-in
and asked that campus police be sent to
the scene.
All three call followed in such close
succession that they were all recorded
as being phoned in at 10:20, Anderson
However, Zahner said that Kelsey
did not reach the scene of the
burglary until 11:30, which is 10 minutes
after the dispatcher recorded a call
from Kelsey.
Sgt. Michael Leedom, who was
assigned to patrolling the dorms, could
not leave his post immediately, because
of a disturbance caused by what Ander¬
son called a 'drunk* who was roaming
the halls of two of the dorms.
Sat. Leedom did arrive at the broken
display  case   at   approximately   11:45
Anderson's account of what happened
Monday night now coincides with what
staff members of Insight *had origin¬
ally said.
Part of the problem for the discrep¬
ancies may have been caused by what
Anderson called the 'good Samaritan-
attitude of InvestigatorO'Rellly.
Anderson said that although the
burglary was reported Monday night,
it takes several hours for the campus
police to compile a complete and accur¬
ate report, after talking to all of the
available sources and taking Information
from all off leers Involved.
Because O'Reilly was still in the
process of finishing the official report"
Anderson said, he had given out inform¬
ation to the campus publications "off
the top of his head.'
Anderson believes that if O'Reilly
had waited, there would have been
total accuracy In the coverage of the
Anderson did say that O'Reilly
had done an excellent job in handling
the situation.
He also stressed that this Is not the
first instance where there has been a
strained relationship between the press
and the police on campus
Anderson specifically brought up
the coverage in both publications
last spring of the arrest of students
in the CSUF dorms who were accused
of selling drugs.
Anderson said that the continuous
coverage of the police handling of the
drug busts put a strain on the press
relations.
'For almost two weeks straight
they (the newspapers) hammered
away at that, * Anderson said. .
He believes that the subject was
overplayed by the press and caused
problems for the police In their ability
to handle the situation.
However, Anderson hopes that the
police can continue to have a good
working relationship with the school
publications, and that the police would
not hold back any information that
the press has a right to obtain.

offer for free dinners on the condition the
Bulldogs won the game, which appeared
questionable with their 0-2 record. They
won the game by the skin of their teeth,
coming from behind to hand the CaJunS a
mere 16-14 loss In the final seconds of
the game.
Butterfield said It was anticipated the
Bulldogs would win the game when the
coupon offer wss being planned In
March. The Old Spaghetti Factory man¬
agement agreed to the Sept. 20 game on
the advice of Bulldog football coach Jim
Sweeney, who told them the game would
be a likely win for his team and attract a
sell-out crowd, being the first home
Butterfield said the win condition was
sttached to the offer 'so people would
think not only the Bulldogs have some¬
thing to win, but they do too and gener¬
ate enthusiasm... * Without that element
of chance it    would have been  'like

A lot of companies will offer you an important sounding

But how many offer you a really important job?
In the Navy, you get one aa soon aa you earn your com-

and leadership. A job that's more than just a job, because
its also an adventure.

giving away money,* he said.
Butterfield said he will have no tdea
how much the scheme will cost until the
end of the offer, but that it will be well
worth it.
*We're hoping people will come down
and enjoy their dining like most people
do when they come here and come back
again,'he said.
A misunderstanding between the
Spaghetti Factory and CSUF officials re¬
sulted in some people not' receiving
coupons when they purchased their
tickets. However, those who did not re¬
ceive coupons can still receive a free
dinner as long as they bring their game
tickets, Butterfield said.
Old Spaghetti Factories in other cities
have provided coupons when their home
teams won games and 60 to 70 percent of
those In attendence have taken advan¬
tage of the offer, according tp Butter-
this year, Butterfield said, because it
takes so much planning. The opportunity
for free dinners may be made in the fu¬
ture, but the Spaghetti Factory has not
considered making it an annual affair, he
added.

learn because it is a reflection of
their heritage, and many others
learn for weddings or as a way to

She is an art student at CSUF tak¬

get her teaching credential In May,
after which she hopes to do her stu¬
dent teaching in Madera.
•Art is a tight market but I'm en¬
thusiastic about getting the people of
Madera excited about It, especially
those who might be uncomfortable
with It," McCinnis said.
Somewhere in the future she wan-
to start her own telegram service with
an emphasis on singing. She intends
to build up her costume repertoire
and work on perfecting "Polly Dart-

to Carol Bumette's characterization

In the meantime she is teaching the
belly dancing class and taking lessons

She smiles warmly, saying, 'Belly
dancing is good for you.' Then she
turns to her class-'Alright girls,

T.V. news controversy
Media .... behind the scenes
'Victor, you have
brought in for us a huge
minority audience, but
you're just not reaching
the white population/
'Good evening, the top story tonight- .
Mexicans were found smuggling...* says U.S. - Mei
the familiar expressionless face that is
seen every night with its perfect coiffeur
and flawless image. The colorful plastic
backdrop Illuminates the set where the
automated cameras carefully scan.
The scene behind the cameras and the
consecrated news personalities is differ¬
ent. Media politics, injustice, and racism
is prevalent and thriving within the walls
of Fresno' s television stations—and Chi-
cano's have been the hardest hit
Unwillingness to cooperate. Intimi¬
dation, and discrimination within the
local television broadcasting Industry
has resulted in the resigning and re¬
locating of our most successful Chi¬
canes In the television medium field.
Of the three major television stations
in Fresno, KJEO Channel 47 is the only
station that has not signed the Affirma¬
tive Action agreement or Chicano pro¬
gramming agreement. These accord¬
ances were the result of action taken
from protesting Black and Chicano
groups in the early 1970's.
Broadcast properties are licensed
through the Federal Communications
commission (FCC), and this license
must be renewed every three years,
these citizen groups petitioned the sta¬
tions' license renewal demanding pro¬
gramming and hiring be directed to
minorities.
The FCC requires that commercial
television stations adequately meet and
serve the needs of the community
through its broadcasting capabilities.
These petitioned stations did not want
the bad publicity (since bad publicity is
taboo for commercial television stations)
and met the agreements of the citizens'
group granted they drop the petition.
As a result, the Affirmative Action
agreement was bom. It was then that
similar actions were taken. KFSN Chan¬
nel 30 was once owned by Triangle Incor¬
porated and was to be sold to Capitol
Ci ty broadcasting with permission of the
FCC. Community groups found a loop¬
hole in which they could petition the sale
of the station until certain programming
and hiring agreements were met. Al
Reyes and Alicia Maldonado were then
hired. A few years later, Channel 24
signed a similar agreement, and most re¬
cently, Channel 18. Channel 47 seems to
be the only major station resisting com¬
munity pressure, however, Its reputation
is poor among television news profes¬
sionals according to one source.   .
A newsletter written by the Chicano
Media Association and El Concilio
stated: *...Of the three major stations In
Fresno, Channel 47 is the only one which
has yet to sign an Affirmative Action
agreement and Chicano programming
agreement... Community people have
complained about the stations news cov¬
erage of the Chicano community includ¬
ing playing up 'Illegal alien- and Mexi¬
can crime stories.*
Channel 47 station manager Bill
Sawyers said he felt positive about the
station's committment to minority pro¬
gramming. He stated that the Equal
Opportunity Employment policy took
care of fair minority hiring and named
several Chicanos employed at the sta¬
tion. He also stated, that 47's AM Fres¬
no and Spectrum series were good public
affairs programs that met the needs of
the minority community. As far as the
Affirmative Action agreement, Sawyers
felt that the station didn't need an offi¬
cial affirmative program working so
closely with El Concilio and other organ!-
Nava stresses communication
"In order for me to accomplish half
of my Job, I must not explain the United
States to Mexico, but to help Mexico
understand the United States" Julian
Nava, Ambassador to Mexico stated.
"We should stop pointing fingers to one
another. Instead, we should direct them
toward our problems."
Nava, Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of the United States
to Mexico, was in Fresno Saturday
for a luncheon sponsored by the MAPA
chapter of Fresno.
Nava stated that relations between
Mexico and the United States are better
than ever although a 'barrier* was still
present.
Nava felt a misconception by both
countries has always been a deferent In
relations between  both countries.
•We understand you are different, but
why are you different?* Nava asked.
Nava, recently appointed by President
Carter when Patrick Lucey resigned,
has confirmed the initial good impres¬
sions the United Slates government
had of him. With Neva's background,
both culturally and educational, he was
undoubtedly the most qualified.
An educator, a writer, an adminis¬
trator, and an authority on the history
of Americans of Mexican origin, Nava
is a nationally known leader among
Chicanos.
A graduate of Cal Poty Pomona
with a M.A. and Ph.D in History from
Harvard, Nava was previously a special
assistant to the President of California
State University, Northridge.
'Americans are ignorant' about
Mexico,' Nava said. "They know very
little of our culture and history. The
United States feels we are a backward
nation.* The S3 year old Ambassador
