April 21,1993 Page 13 Noble, from page 12. that could affect their academic or athletic performance. SAAP offers educational and personal assistance with personal and relationship problems, emotional problems, family difficulties, alcohol and drug problems, health and physical problems and eating disorders. SAAP has four basic goals with concern to student athletes: • To educate student-athletes concerning unique problems they may encounter. • To help student-athletes develop coping strategies which can result in better effectiveness. • To identify and work with student-athletes who may be involved in substance abuse. • To provide prompt and professional treatment and counseling. SAAP Committee members are specially selected individuals who are trained and educated to identify, asses and refer students if necessary. These counselors can be utilized by student-athletes free of cost. Other features of the pro- announced and unannounced test, during individual sports seasons and throughout the academic year. The job of an athletic counselor is basically the same as the job of general counselors. Noble said, but the main difference is that athletic counseling involves a more therapeutic process. "The rate of graduation ^mong student-athletes has increased." -Doug Noble, Athletic Counselor gram include substance abuse and education and screening. The philosophy of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletes at FSU addresses the use of drugs as inconsistent with the purpose of intercollegiate athletics, according to SAAP literature. Because of this belief pertaining to drugs, SAAP conducts selective and random drug testing with bom Athletic counselors monitor students to determine who is struggling. This is done through faculty reported deficiencies which are updates on how students are doing academically. Noble said. After it's determined who is in need of help and the problem is identified, then counselors can intervene. Athletes also have at their disposal what is called a study table organized by Linda Gannaway, also an athletic counselor at FSU. Tutors are provided from 7- 9 p.m., Monday-Thursday. Some sports require their athletes to attend a certain number of study table hours and others can go on a voluntary basis, Noble said. One of the main purposes of an athletic counselor is to increase the graduation rate of student-athletes, Noble said. "The rate of graduation among student-athletes has increased based on the last assessment done in 1986 and we hope to keep increasing it," Noble said. Noble said one frustrating aspect of his job is communication between counselors, student-athletes and coaches. "One ofthe hardest things about being an athletic counselor is assisting the students in a consistent fashion," Noble said. Column, frontpage 12. are depressing, but of the 8,993 who showed up last season, 8,410 were season ticket holders. The University's athletic department cannot complain when they sell that many tickets to a mediocre team. Before you accept those numbers as gold, keep in mind that the numbers are for the amount of tickets sold, not the actual number of bodies in the scats. Of the 8,410 season ticket holders, only 315 of them were sold to students, talk about your campus support. If you should travel to Selland Arena on a night when the' Dogs are playing a less-than-perfect team, you will see an average of 6,500 loyal fans watching a team with a losing record. Many complain and put the blame on Head Coach Gary Colson or Athletic Director Gary Cunningham when the sole blame should fall on the 'Red Wave'. Attention 'Red Wave': Don't take the easy way out by supporting only the winning sports (football, baseball), take pride in rebuilding your school and support Bulldog Athletics. What the University needs is an on-campus arena. By the 1994 season, Fresno State will be the only school in the WAC without a basketball arena on- campus. Selland Arena is not a bad place to play or watch basketball, it just separates the community from the University. Until these problems are solved, I'm afraid Bulldog Basketball is going to continue to decline. Mt. San Antonio Relays: Where the world's greatest athletes compete By Fred Lee Sports Editor I'm not only everyone's favorite sports editor, I'm also a member of the FSU track team. Last weekend I had the pleasure of running in the 35th annual running of the Mt. Sac Relays. Among some of the great athletes that competed were: 100 m World Record holder Carl Lewis and his Santa Monica Teammates Floyd Heard, LeRoy Burrell and Mike Marsh. They ran the fastest time in die world this year, 38.00 in the 4 X 100 relay. 400 m Gold medalist, Quincy Watts ran the 200. High jumper, HollisConway, hurdler, Tony Li and sprinter Jeff Laynes also competed. Butch Reynolds (400 m) and Mike Powell (World Record holder, Long Jump), were present but did not compete. It was a great honor to be at the same meet as some ofthe greatest athletes in the world. It was even better competing in it. Track and Field has always been a part of my life and it still amazes mc when I see an outstanding performance. Track and Field is a challenge. It is one person (or a relay team) pitted against the clock, against the limits of their bodies, the only satisfaction coming from a good finishing time. The hours of dedication, unknown to the rest ofthe world, hanging in the balance of a. few seconds or minuets on the playing Field. A good role-model is very important for the youth of today. I was real happy to see Carl Lewis and Mike Marsh signing autographs and taking with the kids and the media. The importance of adrug-free society should be stressed by the heroes of today. I am proud to say I am a part of the world's oldest and strongest sport. Track and Field.
