sophomore, undeclared major.
Students often turn their energies to
alternative measures in hopes of relieving the stress associated with intensive
studies.
"Last year during finals week, my
roommate and I set aside time away
from the books. Usually we ended up at
the gym which is a great stress buster,"
said Lehman Miller, a sophomore and
agriculture major.
For Vivian Bell, a transfer student
from Los Angeles, a trip to the mall is a
way to teat the tension associated with
finals.
"During finals week, I go to Fashion
Fair and try to relax amongst all the
people.
"I actually reward myself with a new
outfit for all the long hours that I have
put into the books," said Bell.
Students that live in the dorms are
treated to mid-evening snacks compliments of CSUF Food Service.
During finals week, students that
■wc a inuu um nmy go io ine residence dining hall where an after-hour
snack is served ranging from cookies,
pizza, ice-cream to a nice warm cup of
hot chocolate.
"Finals are trying, but only for those
that have procrastinated all semester,"
Sanchez said.
"Even though I feel I am on top of
things, the last week of the semester
does put a little pressure on your study
habits."
Final exams and the need for some
stress-free time proves profitable for
one on-campus site, the Bucket.
The last two weeks of #e semester
are the busiest times in the Bucket as
students come in to relax and have a
beer.
"Of all the times I have been in the
Bucket, the end of the semester was the
best.
"A cold beer after your last final is a
great way to end the semester," said

that was going to be played within ihe
next few days so he could announce a
game.
Not having the greatest seats in ihe
stadium. Woodward turned on Lon
Simmons, who at the time was calling
the play-by-play for radio station
KSFO, and began to mimic whatever
Simmons was saying.
It got him the job.
Since then he has witnessed and
brought home ihc cxciiemcni of the
Fresno State basketball team winning
the National Invitational Tournament,
a football team going undefeated or
defeating the University of Southern
California, or the baseball team playing in the College World Series.
Woodward says that he's done so
many games and seasons, that they all
seem to blend into one.
But he still wears the ring from the
1982 Pacific Coast Athletic Association champion basketball team.
"They went 27-3. Rod Higgins'
senioryear. Second year in the NIT,"
Wood ward said.
But he said that probably his most
memorable moment was in 1984 when
the basketball team played Houston in
Hawaii at the Shamanade Classic
"They shut Hakeem Olajuwon
down. Never scored a point in the first
half," Bill said.
"Everyone
knows him
[Woodward].
He's sort of a
legend when it
comes to college
broadcasting."
— Dave Whitfield
sports reporter
At the time, Houston was ranked
second in the nation and went on to
only suffer three losses the entire season.
Olajuwon went on to be an NBA
All-Star with the Houston Rockets.
KMJ sportsreporter Dave Whitfield
said that while he was living in Texas,
he had heard of Bill Woodward.
"Everyone knows the guy. He's
son of a legend when it comes to
college broadcasting," Whitfield said.
"When was working for a station in
San Angelo and told a co-worker that
I was moving lo Fresno, he immediately mentioned Bill Woodward."
"Bill has a natural, God-given voice
that sounds great," John Broeske,
KMJ's current program director said.
"He has ihc ability to give excitement
to any given play, that's what makes
him good."
T ve never consciously tried to copy
anyoneclsc's style," Woodward said.
"I just try topainta picture forthe fan."
Covering Bulldog sports for over
22 years, some critics claim that
Woodward is too much of a fan. A
Bulldog fan.
"If I'm doing a national broadcast
it's okay to be neutral. But if I'm
doing an FSU broadcast, ihc fans want
to hear what's good for Fresno State.
The fans arc going to get a little bias (in
my announcing)," Woodward said.
Driving

litis limit at the time of a chemical test
within three hours after the driving.
"Personally, I have successfully defended more than 400 DUI clients over
the last two years," Sawl said
The cost of hiring Sawl for a DUI
varies from $500 to 1,500, "but as surgeons can not guarantee a successful
operation, we can not guarantee a successful defense," he said
Sawl's second most frequent defense
is proving no probable cause for the
police to pull someone over.
"Four to five people on their way
from Wiliker's on a late Saturday night
are more likely to get pulled over than
anybody else," Sawl said.
However, CSUF campus police and
Fresno PD officers claimed the chance
of gettingpulled over is equal for everybody.
"A probable cause can be anything
from running a stop sign to stopping far
behind the limit line," said Lt. Steven
King, of the CSUF police departmenL
suspect a problem, we have the legal
right to stop the car. We even have the
legal right to pull cars over to check for
seat belts," he said.
CSUF campus police normally has
two to three officers on duty at the time.
"We have to concentrate on protecting the students," King said."If assistance is needed somewhere on campus,
we don't have to control the traffic and
catch drunken drivers."
A new law, effective Jan. 1, 1994,
will reduce the legal blood alcohol level
for drivers under 21 from 0.05 percent
to any measurable amount of alcohol.
Drivers with valid license will get a
one-year license suspension and drivers without a license have to wait a year
to get one.
"From now on there is zero tolerance," said traffic analyst Fouts.
Fouts said the new law makes it
illegal for drivers under 21 to drive after
less lhan one beer.
The 20-year-old CSUF student who
was arrested for drunken driving contacted a lawyer soon after the incident
last September. "I had no idea what to
do," she said. "I was so afraid I would
have to go to jail."
She paid a local lawyer $500 to defend her in court
"I don't think it made any difference. A public defender would probably have done the same," she said,
"except I didn'thave to appear in court."
The hard-working student is still
struggling to pay her DUI expenses.
ShewasorrJeredtopaya$l,150fine,
serve four months DUI school, work
four days of community service and
have her driver's license suspended a
year.
She currenUy pays S35 a month on
her fine and attends DUI school two and
a half hours every week. "The expenses
seem never-ending." she said, "I
had to pay to do community service."
The DUI school costs $450 for
first-ofrenders. In addition to the meetings once a week, the school requires
the offenders to attend at least six
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings.
"It's time-consuming, but I have
actually learned a lot," she said.
A multiple-offender program lasts
for 18 months and costs $1,045.
"Despite the high costs of a DUI,
25 percent ofthe first-offenders come
back for the multiple-offender program," said DUI school receptionist
Tina Gonzales.
The majority of people attending
DUI school are evenly divided between Caucasians and Hispanics, but
Asians make up an increasingly larger
portion, said Gonzales.
"About 80 percent are men," she
said.
Hispanics make up the majority of
male DUI offenders, while female
offenders are mostly Caucasians, according to Fresno PD statistics.
"I know I'm not alone," said the
first-offender from CSUF. But I felt
night in jail."
"I felt like such a loser, I cried all
night," she said.
"The night in jail was the worst
experience in my entire life, and thai
night alone would prevent me from
ever drinking and driving again."
Out of the 41 traffic mortalities in
Fresno last year, 21 were drug and
alcohol related, according to FPD statistics. Drunk drivers between 15 and
24 years of age are responsible for the
majority of the traffic fatalities in
Fresno.
"I'm just thankful I didn't hurt anybody," said the CSUF student.

Lack of diversity in the Pit
By Nina Momjian
StaffWriter
While integration is supposed lo be
one of the primary goals for student life
on campus, reality reflects the opposite.
Students from different cultures
taking a break on campus, arc a part of
the segregation in the PiL
"There's a lack of appetite to leam
about the other cultures and a sense of
security among our own. We arc
doomed by our own insecurities." said
Arts P. Hadjipanay, a sports nutrition
student from Cyprus.
It is uncommon to find minority
students silting concurrently on ihe
same side of the Pit where the fraternity and sorority students arc sitting.
Ironically, it is also uncommon to
find certain minority students sitting
near other minority students on the
same side of the PiL For example,
where European and Middle Eastern
students sil out near the Kennel Copy
Center, it is rare to find a group Hispanic or African-American students.
"It's a mirror image of society, and
I think it's sad because it doesn't seem
like anybody wants lo do anything
about iL" said Aram Sarkissian, an
Armenian, business management stu-
denL
Ashley Newton, president of Kappa
Kappa Gamma, said, "I've definitely
noticed it and I think it's natural because as long as students are not equating quality or worth by assigning a
value to the place they're silting, then I
don't think it involves prejudices, it's
safe like this."
Hadjipanay said, "The ignorance
from all sides disallows intermingling
among all different cultures. An integrated campus would lead to an integrated country and subsequently an integrated world..something the majority of the peopleare not willing to spend
time in succeeding."
Mohammed Habib, an electric engineer student from Lebanon, said, "It
doesn't bother me at all."
"I prefer it like this." Khajag Zcitlian
said, an Armenian student majoring in
political science.
"I think our section of ihc Pit is the
best because we arc all from different
pans ofthe world and wc still get along.
It shows we're open minded aboul different cultures. Those who sit on the
other side make us feel un welcomed by
giving us looks and sending bad vibes,"
Zcitlian said.
