Police
(Continued from front page)
Fresno is on a 24-beat system; from
3 a.m. until 7 a.m. it drops down to
a 13-beat system.
With progress also comes change
In 1910, city residents could not simply
pick up the phone and call for a cop it
there was an emergency. Because there
were no phones in 1910, hailing a police¬
man involved a trip to the nearest pre¬
cinct. Today the most common way to
reach a cop is by telephone.
The number of policemen we have is
based on the calls for service and travel
time," said Hanson.
Hanson said the police department re¬
ceives approximately 210,000 to 215,000
calls for service a year. This is roughly
• equal to one call to the police department
for every person living in the city.
The record number of calls the depart-
<nent has received is 1.016 in one day
Right now the department has on y
two dispatching radio channels to handle
all the calls it receives.
•We're at a breakpoint," said Han¬
son. 'We're needing a third channel."
Although that problem is not the least
of Hanson's worries as police chief, it is
not the biggest headache he's had
lately, either.
He particularly takes issue with a
Sept. 30 article in the Fresno Bee say¬
ing that Fresno had reported 'significant

increases in nearly all major crime cate¬
gories.'
In a memo to rVUyor Daniel K. White-
hurst, Hanson wrote, 'That article con¬
tained a number of factual Inaccuracies,
which provided an exaggerated picture
of the number of crimes reported to the
police."
Fresno may be ranked 16th among the ,
top 20 crime areas based on population i
but what Hanson prefers to emphasb* is
that in 1978, Fresno was the fifth high¬
est.
"We do have a crime problem,* Han¬
son said.   'But the statistics arc use in- I
correctly."
The problem with crime statistics, said   '
Hanson, is that they are based on re-.
ported crimes.
In the memo to Whitehurst, Hanson
said that the FBI uniform crime report
does not represent a crime rate. "They
are simply a count of the number of of¬
fenses of a certain kind that become
known to the police," he said.	
The number of crimes that become
known to the po,,ce. Hanson said, "is
almost wholly dependent on the willing¬
ness of victims and witnesses to report
crimes."
Hanson went on to say that 'dtuenS
tend to report crimes that they perceive
as serious, and not to report crimes they
believe that are trivial."
'Fresno,' he said, 'benefits from a
high rate of reporting of crime by citi¬
zens.'
He also said that comparison between
cities does not give a fair picture because
of wide variations in reporting rates and
in the demographic characteristics.
A case in point, said Hanson, involves
the reporting of larceny thefts, one area
where Fresno has shown an increase.
"One area we have gone up in is lar¬
ceny, but that includes someone saying
their garden hose has been stolen," said
Hanson. 'A lot of departments won't
even include that in their reporting of
larcenies."
Another category of crime that Han¬
son expects to Increase is rape. *< expect
it to keep going up until it stabilizes."
In the past he said, rapes were not re¬
ported because of the 'callousness of
police officers. The woman was put on
trial.* He said because of things like the
rape counselling service, people are
more willing to report rape.

Chinese marHalart
Tai Chi Chuan growing rapidly
By Tony
One of the fastest growing forms of.
exercise in America today isn't baseball.
But It could help burn off some of the
calories from mom's apple pie.
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese
martial art that has gained most of its re¬
cent popularity for its exercise poten¬
tial.
Now through the CSUF Union-versify
program, you can take one of two
six-week sessions in what the Chinese
use to strengthen the spine and Joints.
Mark Donahue has been studying the
excellent fitness exercise for six and a
half years and will teach the sessions.
Tai Chi Chuan was, until recently, un¬
known to America. It was usually
passed down in China from generation
to generation, mostly from father to son.
This form,* Donahue said, 'was
guarded as a family secret.*
Over the years, Tai Chi Chuan has
evolved into almost ritual form with
formalized schools sprouting up all over
China and Southeast Asia. It has been
taught for health purposes as well
as for exercise and serf defense.
Donahue said that Tai Chi Chuan is
two forces In opposition, yet at the
same time working together to be a
whole—the basic Chinese principle of
life: the strong and the weak; the dark
You would not be
agressive until they
used upytheir energy
and the light; the male and the female.
"If someone came at you aggres¬
sively, then you would not be aggressive
until they used up their energy/he said.
Donahue teaches the most predomi¬
nant form of Tai Chi Chuan called Yang
style. It consists of a series of move¬
ments of very defined sequences. It
would take Donahue 35 or 40 minutes
to go through the 108 movements slowly,
or eight minutes if he were to do' it fast.
- When the art is being practiced, the
body moves in ways that it does not
normally move during everyday activity
or during conventional exercises.
Donahue first came upon Tai Chi
Chuan at the beach in San Diego when a
person he met offered free lessons.
He had read a book a year or two be¬
fore on the subject but could not find
an Instructor.
After his lessons in San Diego, Dona¬
hue took his interest In Tai Chi Chuan
with him to Sonoma State University
where he received a  BA degree in
philosophy with an emphasis on eastern
religion. There he studied the art under
three instructors.
Donahue said that Tai Chi Chuan
brings a complete togetherness with
mind and body, something David Car-
radlne tried to show the world in the
television show about another Chinese
' martial art, Kung Fu.
But Donahue said there is a difference
between the two.
Donahue said there are two kinds
of martial arts—internal and external.
Kung Fu is external. It is a vigorous

Shuttle bus
proposed for
campus area
By Diane Eckblem
A free shuttle bus service for CSUF
students proposed last spring by the
Associated Students and several ad¬
ministrators may soon become a reality.
If approved, the bus service would be
the first of its kind in the 19<ampus
CSUC system.
Luis Sepulveda, student body presi¬
dent, said that the proposed system will
hopefully eliminate some of the parking
and traffic problems on campus, as well
See bus questionnaire
on page 2
as provide a useful service to students.
"We are presently negotiating a
contract with Abby Bus Rentals," said
Sepulveda, 'and once completed, the
only thing holding us back is the chan¬
cellor's approval.'
The bus service would provide two
Abby school buses (with one back-up),
which would pick up students living
within a one-mile radius of the campus.
The buses would travel In an "S* pat¬
tern, each covering a portion of the
area ranging from Herndon to Gettys¬
burg, and from First to Clovis.
Bus stops would be designated by
convenience and would be no farther
than one-fourth of a mile away from any
major apartment complex.
Students would be dropped off or
picked up in the faculty' parking lot
directly behind the old cafeteria at
20-mlnute Intervals.
Business Affairs Director John Rapp
said he's optimistic about the program,
one reason being that anyone with a val¬
id student or teacher Identification
card would ride the buses free.
The buses would be financed by
funds   from   the   parking   revenue,*
