I also would of loved to have written for the collegian, but again night students don't have those priveledges. oh and P.S I would of loved to have majored in journalism , but fresno state doesn’t offer all the classes at night so I would of never been able to graduate.

As a night student, I feel we are often not treated the same as day students. At night it is dark and there is little lighting on campus and no security ever seen. At F.C.C for example they have police officers on foot practically every where you turn at night, and they have police patroling like crazy in those parking lots. At state however it is a different story. Why can't state be set up more like Fresno City at night to help with the safety. Also off topic , but going back to what I said about night students not being treated the same as day students, an example of this would be having to pay a student health fee, when the health center closes before we are ever even on campus. Having a library we can't use because it is closed by the time we get out of class at night. Having to pay student union fees when we can't even use the student union because again it is closed. How about the fact that night classes if you look in the class schedule start at 4pm. That is not night time, and night students need more classes offered to them that start when they get off work. How about the fact that we can't go to games or activities because the are often held when we are in class. We are students to and should not be looked at as second class just because we are night students. It is time for night students to get together and demand fair treatment, and stop allowing fresno state to discriminate against us. We pay our fees just like anyone else, but yet we get the short end of the stick on safety , on classes, on everything. One thing I don’t like is night security on campus.

During the 1990s, the violence came on campus regularly. For instance, there was the running gunfight that started in the USU bowling alley. Two opposing street gang factions ran into one another in the USU, words were exchanged, and the guns came out. As campus police arrived, the gun battle was moving past the memorial fountain towards Lot D. And, this was not the first nor last incident at the USU. Eventually, the lower part of the building was closed to the public on the weekend--one had to show university ID to get in. Then, there was the drive-by shooting over at the dorms, targeting a member of the man's basketball team who reportedly hadn't paid his drug dealer. Speaking of the dorms, for awhile, some dormies were terrorizing other dormies. Turned out, these perps were gang members back home. And then there were the hip hop dances over at the SSU. One night, the campus cops took down a known drug dealer who had a MAC-9 in his car--fully automatic weapon. At another dance, members of a crowd tried to take a campus officer's handgun away from the officer to kill her. Other officers beat the crap out of the guy who actually had the pistol half-way out of the holster. The off-campus violence was even more intense. I was first on-scene to a triple murder over in Sin City. Three bodies in the middle of San Bruno Avenue, shot to pieces with automatic weapons. Keeping the violence OFF campus IS an improvement!
