The cops did a little illegal search and seizure in that case. They knew they couldn’t get a search warrant from the court, so they had the Poli Sci department secretary go into Franc’s office while he wasn’t there on a pretext to rummage around. She found a .38 pistol in a desk drawer. For those who might be horrified that a professor kept a gun in his office desk, this all happened in the early 1980s, when people weren’t so frightened about folks going postal.

Max Franc died in prison of a heart attack nine or 10 years ago.

As for the IT men’s room. Fresno State has been, over the years, a popular cruising spot for sex (both heterosexual and same-sex). The racquetball courts, as well as certain bathrooms have been used for sexual gymnastics for many, many years. Other popular spots have included the men’s room on the third floor of Family Sciences.

I have to mention that Fresno State hasn’t been “out in the country” since the 1960s. Everything that surrounds campus (except University Village) has been there since the 1960s, 70s or 80s.

The campus cops historically don’t take enforcement action. They’ll work through the campus community to get the message out to knock it off. IT locks the restrooms up more to stop people from blowing them up or setting them on fire, than for any other reason.

Back in the late 80′s and early 90′s the Barstow was a major street like shaw. Since the university was basically located out in farmlands this was a stop for truckers. They use to fornicate in the restroom of the IT building because it was right next to the street. In the late 90′s there were posting on the internet by some people about it. The news and police caught on and started investigating. So they lock the building up at night. That is when it stopped. Sicko’s.

The UHS student is true, she hung herself and some music student or something found her in the morning. They never followed up on it though so I am still wondering why she did it.

The pyscho political science professor happened not to long ago. I never heard anything about it again either.

Fresno state has a rich history you just have to dig deep to find out more.

Did he die in prison? If not, when was he released?
