Students looking to sell books at the bookstore have a new
option when it comes to spending buyback money—a voucher for
2004 football season tickets. The voucher, which costs the same as
buying the ticket directly from the ticket office, will warrant a
coupon from Wendy’s
and KFC and an entry into a drawing for up to $300 in free books,
if redeemed before June 4. Christopher Malcolm, a history graduate
student said the offer was not attractive at all. A food coupon is
no incentive to buy the voucher from the bookstore, he said.More>>

Fresno police issued an arrest warrant for former Fresno State basketball
player Terry Pettis, saying he is the only suspect in the near-campus
murder of a Fresno City College student. Rene Shannon Abbot was sitting
in a car with her boyfriend Kent Wolf in a parking lot on 9th street
on April 27 when Pettis allegedly
approached and shot the two in an attempted robbery, police said.
The 18-year-old Abbott died. Wolf escaped with injuries. According
to published reports, Fresno Police chief Jerry Dyer said the episode
was not a random act of violence, but that it was
unclear whether Pettis knew the two victims. More>>

Grades for undergraduate students could potentially be withheld
if the California State University system refuses to recognize a
union being formed by academic student employees (ASEs). The United
Auto Workers and the California Alliance of Academic Students Employees
is a union representing a majority of the 6,000
teaching associates, graduate assistants, tutors and graders in the
CSU system. UAW/CAASE has approximately 710,000 active members and
has contracts with more than 3,200 employers. University of California
system ASEs
are represented by the union.More>>
