A concrete wall south of the CSUF
campus, stretching from Cedar to Maple
Avenues; was never a major" problem to
northbound pedestrians and bicyclists.
The reason it wasn't a problem is
because there was an opening near the
wall, and the "traffic," consisting mostly
of students, could make their trip much
shorter by using this opening.
Few of them probably didn't realize
they were trespassing until Karl Hagg.
half-owner ofthe vacant'lot south ofthe
wall hear the opening, put up.a chain link
fence last semester lo close the opeining.
Within iwo or three, weeks, the fence
had been cut, and a dispute was in the
making.
Keith Jones, a senior engineering stu¬
dent at CSUF, brought the matter to the
attention ofthe AS Senate last October,
proposing {hat the. wall, located between
Sierra Madre and Fkirmont streets, be
opened near barton Avenue to establish a
pathway.
Jones' proposal, backed by petitions
signed by 200 to 300 students, has received

"Women in Alcoholism" now taught at
CSUF.
Women tend to turn to drinking to cope
during a crisis, and can become an alco¬
holic in half the amount of time a man
may do so — seven years compared to
their counterparts 15 — because tbey will

lull support by the Senate, and will soon
be addressed by the Fresno City Council,
:i .cording to Tom Watson, chairman of
• ie AS Legal and Legislative Committee.
Watsom said that in California, under
the law of eminent domain, the city has
the right to annex the propertyrfor public
good, but only in the case of what Watson
called "non-violent, obvious trespassing."
He added that aerial photos have shown
that "there's an obvious beaten track
where people walk around this wall."
Hagg said he put up the fence partly
because residents of the Sun Garden
Acres communitycomplained of increased
parking and traffice problems that re¬
filled from the opening through the wall.
The wall itself had originally been built by
the city more than 10 years ago for the
same reasons: Residents were concerned
with north and southbound traffic.
In addition to the pathway, Watson
said, the Senate is asking the city/to estab¬
lish a parking by permit-only area within a
one-eighth mile radius ofthe wall, where it
crosses Barton Avenue. Watson believes it
is the best solution to meet tbe needs ofthe
community and the studenu, because
right now, as he stated, there is very tittle
parking in the area, and all that the resi¬
dents would need besides their permits
would be the phone numbers of the police
and a towing service.
"They're really not trying to be difficult,
they just want their kids protected, and I
can ceruimly understand that." Watson
stated. "It's a difficult situation because
on one side they want freedom of access
but they want to deny that «frecdom to
other people." /
Watson said the fence has caused many
people to walk or bike an extra mile
because their are no other openings in the
wall between Cedar and Maple avenues.
But he said his main concern lies with
safety.
"A bikeway was established up Barton
Avenue intentionally because it was a low
traffic area," said Watson. "In order for
all those bikers to come up from south,
they have to go all the way around in that
added congestion, causing trouble both
for the traffic and themselves."
But Bob Trout of the Fresno Public
Works Department stated that, in the
Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Plan, Maple
Avenue is part of the designated bikeway
plan, not Barton Avenue. "If any bikeway
money is expended." Trout said. "it would
be on Maple." .
Trout explained that because the prop¬
osal hasnt been heard by the city council.
a full research study hasn't been per¬
formed by his department on this matter.
However, be said he is aware of the prob¬
lem, and disagrees wfth tbe solution being
proposed by the Associated Students.
"If we open a bikeway (on Barton
Avenue) we'd have the same parking
