FEBRUARY 22,1995

ball career with a total of 31 homers.
14 more than No. 2 on the career list.
Michelle Bolt. Bolt, meanwhile,
clubbed a single-season record 15
round-trippers last year, despite missing nine games with an injury.
The '95 Lady Bulldogs don't have
a Maher or Bolt-type caliber player
in the middle of the lineup. Sophomore Robyn Yorke, who became the
first CSUF player to ever cam first-
team All-American honors last year,
believes this year's team will find
other ways to put runs on the board.
"We'll definitely score as much as
last year," said the starting right
fielder. "We don't have the same
power, but we have more speed and
solid hitting."
"It's not that these kids don't have
any power," said Wright. "It took
Michelle [Bolt] and Kim [Maher]
three years to mature and become
consistent in the power hitting role. I
think a couple of these kids can step
up, too."
So far, Fresno State is 29 home runs
shy of their 1994 record of 30, but as
Wright predicted, the hitting hasn't
slacked off. The team's 334 batting
average and 5.5 runs per game are
both above last year's record pace.
The strongest facet of the Bulldogs'
game, though, should be the pitching.
Maureen Brady. Jennifer Clark and
Kelly Sparks return as starters in the
rotation, but there will be one major
difference between this year's staff
and last.
Brady led the NCAA in wins (36)
and appearances (52) in '94, earning
third-team All-American honors.
With two freshmen backing her up,
the 5-foot-6-inch junior was on the
mound for 73 percent of the staff's
innings pitched, 83 percent in WAC
games.
"I love having the ball," said Brady.
"But it will give our team a much bigger advantage to have three experienced pitchers."
Now Clark and Sparks are seasoned
sophomores and the difference shows.
In 14 games, the duo is a perfect 8-0
with a 0.58 ERA.
All the tools are there for the
program's first national title. But like
the team has found out in the past, it
takes more than just talent to win it all.
"I now know what we're in for." said
second-year player Yorke. "So in that
respect, I'm more ready this year."

for elevator maintenance at CSUF. It
calls for Keystone to spend two and a
half days on campus performing
preventitive maintenance on the el-
There is also a 30-minute clause in
the contract, which means that if a
person is trapped in an elevator or
stranded on an upper floor. Keystone
must respond within 30 minutes.
In these situations, the service technician is usually able to get the car
functional again within one hour.
According to Boyd, the university
has a five-year plan to implement the
changes mandated by the Americans
with Disabilities Act.
"As funds become available, we arc
implementing the ADA plan and arc
trying to make the campus more user-
friendly for the physically challenged
students," he said.
The elevators in the Peters Building,
despite being only 6 or 7 years old.
are a constant source of trouble.
The hydroelectric elevators installed
were meant for buildings with only two
or three floors. They operate by pumping fluid to each floor to move thc cars.
Step show, from page 4
huge, you could have 16 different fraternities and sororities from all over
the South competing," said Buford
Cook, a Kappa Alpha Psi, who use to
live and go to school there.
Brandy Revis, social concerns coordinator for USU and an Alpha
Kappa Alpha, was very excited about
the whole event. "The best thing of
all is that we arc coming together as
a unit, to have a good time and watch
each olher step."
Alpha Kappa Alpha, took first place
home for the sororities, and Delta
Sigma Theta took second.
"We did a lot better this year, there
was a lot more crowd support. It was
a good opportunity to show how
proud we are of what we are doing
and to promote something positive for
the black community," said Tiffany
Gibson, an Alpha Kappa Alpha.
Trina Tinzly, a Delia Sigma Theta.
was glad this show had come to
Fresno. "It is a good thing to bring an
event like this to Fresno State, we're
lacking in multi-cultural experiences
here."
"We had an excellent representation
of the black community here today,"
sociology major Derek Floyd said.
Special musical guests, the College
Boys, put on a terrific performance
that rocked the house. Baring body
parts seemed to be the trend of the
evening, and the College Boys were
no exception.
Omega Phi Psi was definitely well
represented on that day with three
different fraternities performing in the
event. One from Sacramento Stale,
one from U.O.R, and the other Fresno
State. Shedding shirts seemed to be
part of this fraternity's image.
"All the performers were hot and I
definitely had no problem with them
losing some of their clothing." Lori
Wiliams, a communicative disorders
major said. This was her second show
and she said she can't wait to see another one.
Traction elevators, the kind that run
on cables and are used in high-rises,
were actually needed.
It would cost an extra SI million,
however, to install traction elevators.
The problems with the Peters Building elevators arc being addressed. Dover Elevator Co. has the contract to
remodel them.
The remainder of the approximately
30 elevators on campus will be evaluated and repaired as necessary as part
of the university's five-year plan.
Cheating, from page 1
degree of the academic dishonesty.
Hc said that he gets uptighl when
there is premeditated cheating and
lhat those incidents merit suspension.
The dean also said that expulsion
from the university for cheating is
very rare and could only ihink of one
incident when a graduate student plagiarized a thesis.
Sometimes cheating isn't caught at
the university level, but is evident
once a student goes out to the work
force. Arnt told of one incident were
a Fresno Slate graduate was hired and
needed to do a particular task that
should have been known with the degree earned. Thc student didn't know
how to do the job and was fired.
The department chair of Ihe school
was called by the employer who
asked, "What kind of students are you
producing?" Arnt wouldn't say what
school this was. bul said the school
has taken steps to make sure it doesn't
happen again.
A change in student values may be
to blame for cheating. According to
Corcoran, lhc average student today
has a different set of values. And he
says he is not surprised because of the
example politicians, businessmen and
educators give.
Students say cheating is justified
because of a lack of time. Bill (last
name withheld) said hc had a friend
write a paper for him because he
didn't have enough time to do it and
he needed the grade for graduation,
He said he didn't have time to write
the paper because hc was working tixi
much.
According lo a brief written by
Shcilah Maramark and Mindi Barth
Maline of the Division of Higher Education and Adult Learning. Office of
Research. U.S. Department of Education, the two major factors for
cheating arc stress and competiiion.
Competition for admission into
graduate school, scholarships and
jobs. Students also cheat because of
ignorance, uncertainty or confusion
regarding collaboration, fair-use and
plagiarism, the brief said.
