group from Lions International."
Lwaki, 42, graduated from Kent State
in 1975. Afterspendinglhe past nine years
six months ago and is working on his mas¬
ters at CSUF. He mentioned that most
Americans are aware of Kenya because of
competition.
"We have good athletes in the steeple¬
chase and long distant events," he said.
Aside from athletics, Lwaki believes
that education plays a vital role in his
here—K to grade eight. Students who
wish to continue can go up to grade 12.
And if they're capable and past the exam,
they can continue their education at a uni¬
versity," he said. "With a college degree,
there's no problem getting a j ob in Kenya."
As a speaker, Lwaki is often asked
about the famine problem in neighboring
country, Ethiopia.
"There's a saying in my language; 'It's
better to train someone to fish than to give
him the fish.' If he doesn't know how to
fish, he won't be able to feed himself," he
said. "Food aid is only an overnight solu¬
tion. All the money they are sending
should go into agriculture and irrigation.
The land is fat and can be fanned. Modern
methods of farming will go a long way.
And along those lines, we should help
Ethiopia become a self-sufficient nation."
Another question he is frequently asked
is about apartheid in South Africa.
"It's a pain in the neck to all African
countries," he said. He said that most
South African blacks are composed of
various disintegrated groups. "They need
to work together as a group. That is, they
need help from the independent states and
superpower countries such as the United
States. Independently, working by them¬
selves, South Africa will not be saved.
They need backing from other nations,"

Fresno State wins fourth straight

Sports Editor
Fresno State center Scott Barnes scored
game-high 19 points and Jos Kuipers
dded 18 of his own to lead the Bulldogs
5 a 56-39 thrashing of the University of
Pacific Tigers last night at Sellend Arena.
"I really didn't look to have a big
game." said an obviously tired" Barnes
after the game. "The things I wanted to do
were hit the boards and  play good
Whether Barnes looked for it or not, he
had a big game regardless. Playing against
UOP freshman center Brent Counts for
most of the night, Barnes put on an
offensive show that dazzled the crowd of
9.973 people at Sellend Arena. Counts
looked confused and frustrated for most
of the night, allowing Barnes to also pull
down a game-high ten rebounds, and
block one shot as well.
The Fresno State defense, which is
ranked first in the nation with a 55 point-
a-game average, forced 13 UOP turnovers
on the night as well as grabbing 34
rebounds to the Tigers 25. All in all. FSU
dominated every offensive and defensive
aspect of the game, especially the second
of the first half,
before turning on the afterburners to blow
OP off the court.
The Bulldogs had problems with
ccuracy early in the first half, hitting only
2-percem of their field-goal-attempts(l-
) before taking an 8-4 lead with 13:21

-outscored UOP 12-6 in the next five
minutes of the game to make the score
44-27.
After freshman forward Domingo
Rosario, 13 points, cirtthe FSU lead to 17
witha 12-foot jumoshot from'theleft side,
the Bulldogs scored six unanswered points
to take a commanding 54-31 lead with a
little over a minute remaining. .
It was smooth sailing for the Bulldogs
at that point as coach Boyd Grant subs¬
tituted most of his reserves, including
forward Fred Emerson. The JC-transfer
came into the game amid cheers from the
crowd and scored only two points on the
night. But what a two.
Exhibiting the powerand grace that has
been a missing ingredient in Fresno State
basketball teams of the past few years,
Emerson took a long down-court pass
from Mitch Arnold and crammed it down
the basket to give the Bulldogs a 56-31
lead.
Arnold had another off night offensively,
scoring only four points. But the Fresno
State senior contributed a game-high six
assists, and also blocked a shot. Point-
guard Ron Strain added four points while
Salone contributed three.
James Ray Richardson led all Tiger
scorers with 13 points on the night while
Counts attributed for eight. Andy Franklin
and Kyle Pepple each scored two points.
It was the fifth consecutive conference
win for Fresno State, as they improved to
8-1 in PCAA play, still one game behind
UNLV. The Runnin Rebels still have to
play Fresno State Saturday, Feb. 9th at
Sellend Arena. The contest will most
likely decide who will be conference
champions this year.
Next up for the Bulldogs are the Titans
of Fullerton State. Head coach George
McQuarn has his club on a roll since
struggling early in PCAA play. Fullerton
has sole occupancy of third place with a
6-3 record. FSU will play Monday night
in Fullerton before coming home to face
UNLV.
