News Briefs: Gubernatorial debate on campus in September
Hornet News StaffPublished September 2, 1998
This just in: Looks like CSUS will play host to the September 23 gubernatorial debate between Gray Davis and Dan Lungren. This isn't going to be announced until today, so keep it under your hat until then. (But remember you heard it here first!)
The Burger War, revisited. When we last saw the Perfect Burger, it was cornered by Burger King, fighting for its very existence. Did the Perfect Burger survive the summer and the battle against the Whopper? Alas, fans of good food will be sad to learn that no, our friend did not survive. After Burger King was invited into the University Union, the Perfect Burger was killed so the corporate behemoths at BK wouldn't have to worry about competition.
Starting with the next issue of the State Hornet, we'll be reporting the activities and whereabouts of the university president, Donald Gerth. The goal is to allow students access to the top dog on campus. Be it ribbon cuttings, speeches, globe trotting, committee meetings, we plan on telling you what Gerth is up to. Over the summer, he attended meetings for the International Association of University Presidents, of which he is President, in Central Europe and Brazil. If you see President Gerth on campus, let us know. Gerth sightings are rare but treasured moments that the Hornet would like to share with the rest of the campus.
Returning students -- feeling disoriented, confused? No, it's not the heat. Campus administration spent the summer changing the names on many buildings. Students, beware.
The new names are:
Education -- Eureka Hall, Engineering -- Santa Clara Hall, Engineering and Computer Science -- Riverside Hall, Business -- Tahoe Hall, English -- Calaveras Hall, Home Ecomonics -- Mariposa Hall, Math History -- Brighton Hall, Science -- Sequoia Hall, Nursing -- El Dorado Hall, Physical Education -- Yosemite Hall, Social Science -- Alpine Hall.
Though the names seem to reflect random county and city names, the Hornet has deciphered the reason behind the name assignments. For example: Calaveras County was the setting of the famous work of literature by Mark Twain, "The Famous Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," hence the name was assigned to the English building. Get it?
Hornet in new digs

After several years on the outskirts of campus, the State Hornet has relocated to the new University Union expansion.
Now housed in a large green point of an office facing the Library Quad, the State Hornet is closer to the center of campus, which will hopefully become a thriving center of expanded student activity. The offices are accessible via the outside staircase at the Union entrance facing the library just inside the double doors above the new student store.
Access is also available through the set of double doors adjacent to the Fireplace Lounge on the second floor.
The State Hornet staff would like to emphasize our status as a campus publication. Individuals or groups with story ideas, questions, concerns, information, or curiosity are invited to drop by the State Hornet during normal business hours and talk with one of the section editors, or Editor-In-Chief John Montgomery.
