"He's very fun to work with at TGIF and can be caught doing balloon animals and magic tricks for us and the kids that come into the rcstau- Youpcl said hc started juggling when hc was 12 or 13 years old. "My dad owns a warehouse and about two years ago a man in the carnival business rented some space from him," Youpel said. "I told this man I could juggle and started doing work for him thereafter." Youpel slill works at carnivals as Juggles. Hc also clowns around at children's parties and business picnics. Hc performed at this year's Vintage Days. "My favorite type of gig is carnival work because it's really open." Youpel > 15 gigs ————— a month. "A day in the life of Juggles consists of getting ready two to three hours before a gig," Youpel said. "I go through my magic tricks, selecting ones appropriate for the age range that I will be working for." "Once I've set up my magic tricks and made sure everything works, I practice juggling." he said. "It takes me about an hour to put on my makeup and another one to lake it off after the gig is over." Youpel said. "I can really feel for some women." Youpel will graduate in May. As Juggles, he plans on always clowning around. Youpel said he would also like to teach English for a year in Germany, then come back to the United practice his juggling act.

"I got really drunk one night. My parents called and I couldn't talk to them. 1 was supposed to meet some friends and 1 stood them up. and ihen I made a fool out of myself wilh another friend." said Bowman, 23. "I woke up the next day with a hangover, embarrassed to talk to everybody, and I knew that was it. I was an alcoholic and I didn't want to drink anymore." Like many young people. Bowman started drinking alcohol in high school. She said since alcohol wasn't always available, when it was available she would drink as much as she could. "When I moved into the dorms at Fresno State my freshman year there were parties every night and so I could get alcohol whenever I wanted," Bowman said. "By the time I was 19.1 had a fake ID. and I was get- ling drunk every weekend night." Bowman said she drank mostly beer back then, bul she would consume al least eight drinks in one night. By Fall 1994, Bowman said her drinking took a turn for the worst. "1 met my now ex-boyfriend at school, and hc was also an alcoholic. We hit it off right away because we had the drinking in common." Bowman said. "My problem was 1 could never say no to drinking, and he was always drinking." "For the first time, here was someone that said my drinking was OK". said Bowman. "We drank almost every night during the week and on the weekends we went from morning until nighl." In a way.

Color photos require more memory than black and white photos. The only real disadvantage mentioned by everyone was people's un- familiarity with the new system. 'Teaching people to use the computer is probably easier" than teaching them the old paste-up method, Adams said. "Students seem to take to computers easier," he said. George Flynn, journalism professor, said, while he has "more praise than condemnation" for the process, he felt it had the potential for "doing more harm than good." This is because "it allows any fool to magnify typographical foolishness," he said. "With pagination, there's nothing you can't do but there's lots of things you should not do. "The speed and capability has gone up astronomically while the skill level has declined astronomically," he said. Flynn said typesetting used to be done by seasoned veterans who were paid three times what they're paid now (and that was 20 years ago), while with pagination, "anybody can do anything." "It allows people to set type who know nothing about convention, aesthetics or readability," Flynn said. He said that now, due to the expanded horizons allowed by pagination, people will see things in newspapers that "have no place except perhaps on circus posters." Flynn also said the new process has made more work for editorial staffs. Before, most of the fitting and layout was done in the "back shop," he said, but now editors end up doing it. "It's a wholesale transference of responsibility from the back shop to the editor's terminal," he said. Flynn also didn't feel pagination improves the quality much, if any, contrary to Pendley's or Beavers' assessment. Beavers agreed with Flynn about the increased work for editors but didn't seem to mind. Even though he might do more as an editor now, with the increased speed and efficiency of the new process, he ends up spending less time putting thc paper together anyway. "I can do the final draft in two hours on the last day, where before it took five other people all night to do the same job," Beavers said. "The man-power, difference is huge," he said. "We can put out a paper now with 10 people at the most. It used to take 15 to 18 people — or more. "And in the future, we'll need less and less people," he said. While that may be true on the newspaper end of the operation, the Enterprise's Pendley said they had to add another person in the graphics department after going to pagination. The Selma-based company prints about 30 local papers a week, including Insight. Of those. Pendley said, only a few have gone to pagination so far. Still, Pendley said, the new process is less costly due to less mistakes, in creased speed and efficiency and lower material costs. Beavers said less materials were used in the production of the newspaper as well. "We don't use half as much paper as we used to," he said. About the only thing that can be more expensive than doing things the old way, according to Lewis, would be the initial capital outlay for the equipment. But the savings down the road in man-hours, especially for commercial operations, would more than pay for the difference. Another plus, everyone said, was that there's less chance for mistakes. "We used to send the photo (size) specifications to the printer," Beavers said, "but it would come out wrong He said that could either be due to the paper's staff getting the measurements wrong or the printers getting it wrong. "But when it's done on the computer," he said, "it has to be perfect. "There's none of these little surprises," he said. Adams said. "We used to send down the photos and hard copy [printed text] separately, tell them [the printers] how to put the photos in, and they would get it wrong sometimes." Yet another positive, related to efficiency and time savings, is the flexibility and ease it allows when doing the graphics. Lewis said, "It used to be if you wanted to make a shadow-box around some text you had to take some black tape and carefully cut it in. "And there's much more flexibility if you want to change things or move them around or repeat them. Now, a quick stroke of the mouse and — boom — it's done," he said. Adams said the next step for Insight would be going to full color. While they have the ability to go to a full-color paper now, he said, "It's much more complicated. We have enough to do now just learning this." He said going to full color would also depend on whether or not advertisers would be willing to pay for it since it's more expensive to print in full color. Lewis said the next step for newspapers in general is having them available on Use Internet. • -•'•'•■ "The hottest thing now is being on the Internet," he said. "Lots of papers are doing it." He said about 35 large papers nationally are now available through the computer, and in some cases, are even interactive (where viewers can send information or comments back to the paper). "In my dreams I have this vision of the future where customers buy their own printer and paper, thc newspaper prints out in their home while they're sleeping at night and it's waiting for them to read at breakfast. They'll just pay for the service," Lewis said. He felt this would be desirable because the printed media's weakest link is in its delivery. That may be way down the line, however, since it requires that telephone lines be fiber optic. "But they're [the fiber optic lines] going in fast," he said.
