Cartoon callous
One wonders if the gleeful couple por
trayed in your November 24th cartoon
("An American couple's reaction to Leon
id Brezhnev's death") also smiled when Pres
ident Kennedy and Anwar Sadat were
assassinated: although those two great
leaders died by violence, and Brezhnev o f
a heart attack, the fact remains that they
all died.
Brezhnev was a typical warm, open
Soviet, as several former presidents, and
secretaries of state have testfied, and as
country. At the same time', he was a
leader who kept his nation of 240 million
people together and on the path to the
future. What many people do not realize
is that, ideological difference aside, we
and the Soviets are very alike. We are
both ethnically diversified, both have the
same interest in technology and the de
velopment of it, and so on.
! dread the day when our nation be
comes callous and unfeeling enough to
laugh at the death of anyone, and yet it
seems, from your cartoon, that the day is
here. Next time, why don't you sit up.
open your eyes, and react to that death as
the loss of a human life, and not on the
basis of a differing ideology, as you have

The concern for safety that sprung up following Krista Hambrock's death has
subsided. Women are often seen walking alone at night
Safety after murder
still major concern
The concern for safety Ihat followed Krista Hambrock's murder two years ago
brought about the promise of greater security at CSUF.
Some of the changes made — inc reased lighting and more officers patrolling at
night — remain. Other security measures disappeared as quickly as the memory
of Hambrock's death.
On the whole, however, the CSUF Police Department has done its best to
make the campus safer, according to Investigator Mike O'Reilly, one of two
officers assigned to crime prevention.
"I would say it (the campus) is safe, but there's always the opportunity or
possibility that something will happen," O'Reilly said.
Increased lighting on campus has been a direct result of Hambrock's death.
About $300,000 has been spent installing new lighting in parking lots, "safe
routes" and other areas. Brighter and more efficient sodium vapor lamps have
replaced mercury vapor lights.
Other safety measures, such as keeping lighting on from dusk till dawn, are still
if effect. Some lights were on timers from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. before Hambrock's
death.
Beefed-up night police patrols, which have five or six of CSUF's 17 officers on
night duty instead of the former two or three, are still In effect.
Some safety measures, the result of student and faculty concerns in the days
following the murder, faded as those concerns quieted down.
"That's the thing I found out when it (the murder) first came down," O'Reilly
said. "Everybody was concerned, upset, worried. But as the thing died out
everybody relaxed."
A shuttle bus service between CSUF and the surrounding community failed
because of low student participation. A special escort service fizzled even before
it got started. And a hot line for students to call with safety concerns now yields
the response: "The number you have reached is not in service at this time, and
there is no referral..."
O'Reilly said that the possibility for future violence will be reduced if students
take proper precautions.
"1 don't "want to make students paranoid - f want them to be cautious,"
O'Reilly said. "There's a lot of activity out here. When students walk on campus
they should be cautious at all times."

Leads fizzled
Identity of killer
remains unsolved
Karla Hambrock has heard a number of theories on who killed her sister
Krista, ranging from a gang-initiation killing to an argument with close friend. Still,
the case remains a mystery.
Detective Danny Martin of the Fresno Police Department said his office has
not had a new lead m a year-and-a-hali, but the case is suU open.
"We never came close to anybody," Martin said. "It may have been someone
passing through — it seemed to be an isolated incident. All at this point is
speculation."
The few leads police had following the murdeT soon vanished. A note was
found taped to a chair in a campus classroom claiming the writer was responsible
for the killing, but Martin said the note turned out to be a prank.
A man was reported as visiting several car dealerships around Fresno shortly
after Krista'* death, trying to sell a car with stain* in the pa**enger »eat. That lead
disappeared when the stains were tested, and found not to be blood.
Karla said some people have theorued that Krista wa* kiBed a* part of an
initiation rite into a gang. A psychic proposed that someone who cared deeply for
Krista went crazy when she refused to do something he wanted her to do.
"Her death is hard to accept because there's no answer as to why, who, how
—we don't even know when or where," Karla said. "It's absolutely just a big
question mark. Maybe no one's meant to know. I quit trying to guess after a

. Karla slept alone the few nights before
and during finals after Krista's bed had
beerrremoved.
"I stayed down here and completed
finals, went to classes and got lots of
queter looks from people," Karla said. "It
was sort of a hush-hush —' That's the girl
whose sister was murdered."'
Karla finished finals and decided to
return to CSUF against the urgings of her
parents, especially her mother. She still
lives on the first floor of Baker Hall, but in
a different room than the one she shared
with Krista.
"A lot of people — my mom especially
— would have beeri very pleased if I would
have stayed home," Karla said. "She had
a tremendous worry, it's like, 'Don't go
back down there. I don't want what hap¬
pened to one daughter to happen to the
"I kept telling her, 'Mom, I have to keep
living and doing what I'm doing. I'm not
just going to stop my world because of
what happened.'
"One thing I've had a chance to think
about is why I'm still here. People ask me
if I wouldn't want to get away because of
the bad things that happened. But if
Knsta hadn't been kil'ed I would be here
anyway, so why go somewhere else?"
Karla eases her parents' concerns
about her safety at CSUF with frequent
visits home to Mariposa. .
"I go home a lot," she said. "To have my
parents see my face every week is a com¬
fort to them. To know that 'she's going
down there but she's still all right.'
"Every other week or weekend just to
see my face is enough to give them more
se.jrity or good feeling about being
here...if there could be a good feeling
about it."
