The recent Steven Spielberg
filnV'Schindlcr'sList"*has caused
tremendous emotion among many
people worldwide for its honest
and horrific portrayal of the Holocaust.
"Spielberg is doing a great service to humanity by creating this
film," said Dr. Eric Clinc. professor of history.
"Spielberg is educating the next
generation. People have an obli-
Nancy Greenspan of Hellcl, thc
Jewish organization at CSUF.
"I didn't want to go sec that
movie," said Greenspan. "I knew
I would be emotionally a wreck
when I left it,"
For the younger generation, the
atrocities of the Holocaust are often seen as a part of history that
happened in another life 50 years
ago and could never happen again.
Thus, said Clinc, the need for
films like "Schindlcr's List" are
essential to the education of thc
next generation.
"Spiemerg is aoing a great
service to humanity by
creating this film."

history professor
gation io sec it.'
"Schindlcr's List" is thc true
story of Oskir Schindler, an opportunist businessman during
World War II Germany.
Schindler collaborated with the
Nazi regime during thc war to
further his business ventures.
His business produced metal
products that involved many Jewish slave workers provided by the
Nazis.
Schindler gradually developed
an admiration and respect for
these workers through his constant contact with ihcm throughout thc war.
Hc eventually saved thc lives
of 1,100 from thc Nazis. Many of
them arc still alive today along
wilh ihcir dcsccndcnts who have
named themselves "The Schindler
Jews."
"Schindlcr's List is an important movie for people to see,
whether you like going to sec those
kinds of movies or not," said
"Spielberg brought it back for
this generation. My generation
grew up hearing Ihe stories of thc
war, this generation is growing up
not knowing," he said.
Neo-Nazis, skin heads and those
who do not believe that the Holocaust happened arc all apart of the
societal family of lhc younger gen-
"Because of [Neo-Nazis] and
people saying it didn'l happen,
something like that could happen
again, and noi jusl io Jews next
time," said Jackie Little of Hellcl.
There is the old saying, "those
ignorant of the pasi arc doomed io
repeat it."
"Schindler's List" is a marker
of lime that can lend an honest
account of thc past for next generations to learn from.
"Tonotsec'Schindler'sList' is
to deny that thc whole thing happened," said Greenspan. An estimated 6 million Jews died in thc
Holocaust.

From thc eclectic surroundings of lhe Tower Districts java joints to ihe
CSUF's Coffeehouse and Pub, sludents are discovering an attraction for this
internationally popular beverage.
Some students feci lhc aiiraciion lo lhc java cafes is the quiet atmosphere
without lhe loud, drunken behavior associated with bars.
"I feel comfortable bringing friends here for espresso without thc prices or
problems associated wiih the bar scene." said Robert Perry. 27. a freelance
writer.
With prices starting around 93 cents, studenls find going oul for a quick sip
of java is more affordable ihan swilling beer.
Thc atmosphere at some coffee houses is designed to please patrons
looking for a cafe which is reminiscent of their European counterparts.
"I feel special when my boyfriend lakes me to the Cafe Intermezzo down
in the Tower District,'' said Courtney Bagrogian, 21, a Fresno City College
student. "Thc cafe reminds mc of Europe with the dimmed lights and soft ja//
music."
Bagrogian's comments arc music to lhc ears of Robert L. Stephenson, a
former chairman of the Coffee Services Association.
"Sludents have at their disposal thc opportunity io savor the featured 111)
Cafe Espresso grown exclusively by lhe Italian family ol Francesco Illy since
1933," said Stephenson.
With the installation df thc new S3,100 Phoenix espresso makers and waier
purification systems CSUF moves forward into the market of young coffee
connoisseurs.
"We saw an opportunity to provide the students with a coffeehouse and the
univcrsiiy has been responsive to'thc new espresso bars on campus." said
Jim Prince, lhc patriarchal director behind Fresno State's food services.
As an alternative to a loud, beery bar. students and faculty have found the
new U.C.P. to be an enhancement to facilities available to the campus
community.
"I have been a coffee connoisseur for years and now ihc U.C.P offers great
coffee and service, which is something hard lo find al some local restaurants."
said Carole Ncpcrmi. a 34-year-old graduate student.
Local coffee houses feature amenities unavailable at many restaurants and
bars.
Java Cafe features a German Probat coffee roaster encircled by a bar at
which patrons every Thursday can experience an up-close view of the process
lhat gives coffee beans their nutly-roasied flavor.
With this roasting process, Java's owner Kelley Crosse flavors hcr beans
filling the air wilh lhe warm essence of java.
Cafe Intermezzo, named for cafe intermission, is named appropriately for
lhe crowds that converge at the counter during intermission al the famed Tower
Theater.
True jazz on Thursday nights and an alluring outdoor cafe setting is thc
catch thai co-owners Ed Escobar and Scott Peters, a Fresno dentist, hope will
attract an upscale, professional crowd.
"The bottom line is students are seeking refuge from bars and the coffee
house is the alternative." said Theresa Walls, a City Cafe employee and CSUF
student.
"Here, our customers arc well taken care of and they can concentrate on the
real matter at hand, enjoying great coffee," said Walls.

CSUF students mourn lhc end of
an cighi-ycar tradition with the closing of Thc Bucket by Food Services.
The carved wooden sign still hangs
on the outside wall. The white frosted
glass thai reads "Bucket" has not
been replaced, bul the Coors, Coors
Light and Budwciscr has.
"I miss thc loud music and ihc
cheap beer," senior Tony Azevcdo
said.
'The Bucket was a great place to
relax and get drunk after class," said
Mail Allen, a marketing major.
"I was planning on spending my
tweniy-first birthday in Thc Bucket
drinking and skipping class." said
Michelle Schrcibcr. a sophomore political science major.
The Bucket firsl opened in 1985 in
thc area that is today thc West Cafe
Studenls ate pizza at red picnic lablcs
surrounded by yellow walls. In October of lhat year Thc Bucket started
serving beer It was thc fir i lime a
campus restaurant had been licensed
to serve alcohol. A mini-bar was set
up, four keg laps were installed and
The Bucket's popularity grew.
"Live bands would play on Thursday nights and the crowd would become so big that we would have lo
open up the rest of lhe cafcicria." said
Jim Prince. Food Services Director.
Architects were brought in lo de-
signancw. bigger space for the Bucket
and in 1990 thc bar moved to its
current location.
Thc popularity of The Bucket began to wane as students became "alcohol aware and began drinking less,
according io Prince.
"Last year was our most successful
year, bul during the fall semester stu
dcni usage was on the dec line and The
Buckei was becoming a financial
drain." Prince said
Food Services decided il was lime
for a change Ihe lights were turned
up. The music was turned down The
domestic beer taps were disconnected.
Two espresso machines were bought
and The Bucket was renovated inlo

With ihe new restaurant, money is
the biggest concern of some students.
