A minor knee injury became an eleven day May in the hospital and ha* now turnad around administrative vtee-president Michael
Esplno's plans for his Spring semester.
Administrative vice president set back by accident, low grades
By M. B. Alexander
Staff Writer
When Michael Espino took a spill on
the concrete last semester, he did not
know his injury would cost him his job
as administrative vice president of the
Associated Students.
"What was a small swelling turned
into a rare knee infection," Espino said.
The injury kepi him in the hospital for
11 days, and bedridden for many'more.
Consequently, Espino missed almost
three weeks of school, and failed to
achieve a 2.0 semester grade point average
needed to keep his senate position.
Espino said that his absence, "to no
one's surprise, set me back very far," and
that he was "doing very well considering
what happened. Unfortunately, at the very
end I didn't have the relevant infor¬
mation.
"I did not fail a class,'' he added. His
overall g.pa. is still above 2.5.

Tuesday by the AS as Espino's replace¬
ment, is considered a "natural selection"
by president Scott Vick.
"He's a real finance type." Vick said
of the new v.p., who is in charge of all
senate financial matters. "Bill was expert
at shuttling papers, and that's what it
comes down to."
White, who served as Espino's aide
last semester, was not surprised to be
selected by Vick. When it became
apparent that Espino might not finish
last semester, the three agreed White

Sweeney faces trial
By Mike Ktingbeil
Staff Writer
Things began innoccndy
enough for Jim Sweeney last
July 8, when he enjoyed a few
drinks with friends from Le
moore Air Force Base at a Ma¬
dera bar.
From there, the nine-year
CSUF football coach drove to
visit the in-laws of his son,
Kevin, the former record-
setting CSUF quarterback.
It was then that things went
awry. Sweeney was pulled over
by CHP officers on a country
road near Bass Lake.
While surprised, Sweeney
acknowledged that he had
"probably been exceeding the
speed limit."
Sweeney was brought into
Madera County Jail and charged
with driving under the influence.
"Next to the death of my
wife, it is the most upsetting
thing that has happened to me,"
he lamented. "It's an embar¬
rassment for me, my family and
my players," he added. "I'm
totally embarrassed by It"
According to police records,
the trouble began when CHP
officers had spotted his car
weaving on the road.
He was subsequently
administered a blood test
which showed his alcohol
level at .09, according to Dep¬
uty District Attorney Tim
Aspinwall, who will prosecute
the case in a jury trial that
begins March 23.
"The breath test was
incomplete," Aspinwall said.
"What we don't know is his
alcohol level at the time of his
anresL"
