After Entrepreneur magazine’s May issue ranked Fresno State

Professor James Walton of the English department provided his memories
of the nation at war during his college days in Friday’s “Live

of the tragedy at Kent State in Ohio. Today is the 34th anniversary
of the event. “ At the time of the shooting, I was both puzzled

Fresno State enology students and Winemaster Ken Fugelsang presented
the university with 14 medals Friday during an awards ceremony
at the university Farm Market. Among wines from Australia, South
America, Mexico and Canada, Fresno State received four gold, five
silver and five bronze medals
at the 2004 New World International Wine Competition in Ontario
in February. Fugelsang spoke about the stiff competition. “This
competition was like the quarter-finals of the NCAA. We were competing
against 3,400 strong entries,” he
said. “Our
wines were judged according to a double blind-format which means
that the judges didn’t even see the wine labels, instead
they were judged according to smell and taste,” Fugelsang
said.More>>
