His victories in Super Tuesday states accelerated his march toward the GOP nomination.

He’s not there yet, and Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio showed strength in small doses.

Rubio is not winning anywhere, so he really sacrifices his ability to be the anti-Trump leader of the Republican Party and unless something huge changes, I cannot see how he can stay in the race,” said Dr. Thomas Holyoke, professor of political science at Fresno State.

But the real estate mogul won Tuesday from New England to the South, in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Virginia.

He proved he can beat heavily funded, politically sophisticated opponents despite increasingly ugly, often disturbing, attacks and insults. And he has shown strength in blue-collar areas that could put onetime battlegrounds such as Pennsylvania back into play for the GOP. Taken together, “he’s a formidable candidate” in a still-hypothetical but increasingly likely fall matchup against Democrat Hillary Clinton, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll.

“Clinton has a lot of momentum right now and there are a lot of states having primaries in March, so it is hard to see how Sanders catches up with her,” Holyoke said.

Trump was already sounding like a November candidate Tuesday. “I’m a unifier,” he told sup-

He talked about how he could get people together in the Oval Office. He had praise for Planned Parenthood’s work for women’s health, vowing, “I’m going to be good for women’s health issues.”

Trump showed some humility; asked whether he felt as though he were the presumptive nominee, he said, “I feel awfully good.” He even praised rival Cruz, who won Texas and Oklahoma.

“So far the only kind-of surprise is Oklahoma, a conservative state where Sanders beat Clinton. Cruz beat Trump here, which is a little less surprising because there are lots of evangelical voters in Oklahoma and that is Cruz’s natural constituency,” said Holyoke.

None of that means Trump is a sure thing in the fall. And as he emerges as the presumptive Republican nominee, he faces a new series of challenges.

The national map features electorates far more ideologically and racially diverse than the Republican base Trump has so effectively wooed. He’d have to compete in states where African-American and Hispanic voters are influential blocs, and they’ve shown little inclination to back him.

Most daunting, Trump could face not a pair of first-term U.S. senators, a soft-spoken retired neurosurgeon or a nice-guy governor, but a former secretary of state with considerable experience in waging brutal campaigns. Clinton is expected to raise questions about the volatile Trump’s judgment and temperament, as well as provide vivid reminders of his broadsides against Mexicans, Muslims and women.

Trump would also face challenges such as those he’s begun to endure only in recent days, questions about his resume as well as his style. “The criticism now concerns whether he’s a con man, not an entertainer,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York.

Trump’s temperament has also made him vulnerable. After he appeared to fumble an interview question Sunday about the Ku Klux Klan, Clinton and Democratic rival Bernie Sanders branded him a “hatemonger.”

Trump’s rivals did offer some warning signs Tuesday. Though Trump won Virginia, Rubio, a senator from Florida, was leading among better-educated, higher-income and moderate voters as well as independents, according to network exit polls. In Vermont, Kasich was topping Trump among women, seniors, higher-income and better-educated voters.

Also, Trump still refuses to release his tax returns, even though there’s no legal reason he cannot. Critics are raising questions about the Trump Entrepreneur Institute, whose Better Business Bureau ratings fluctuated while it was open.

Honoring Philip Levine with reading room

By Justin Johnson @JustinJohnson

A national poet laureate’s legacy lives on and will give students a space to be inspired and explore their own creativity.

Philip Levine was a Pulitzer Prize winner who taught at Fresno State from 1958-92 and was the national poet laureate from 2011-12. Levine passed away Feb. 14, 2015.

The Levine family announced plans for the reading room to the public on Feb. 20.

The Philip Levine Reading Room will be on the second floor of the Henry Madden Library.

“The construction is a conversion on the second floor of the library overlooking the Peace Garden. We are envisioning this room that it will have minor changes to the existing room that we have right now,” said Dr. Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, dean of the College of Arts and Humanities.

“After these changes are made to the room we have right now,

then the second phase would be to decorate the room, put up shelves and book shelves,” Jiménez-Sandoval added.

When construction will begin on this project is still unknown.

“The construction is contingent on private support, so when we secure the private support then we will have a more definitive timeline,” said Moon-ja Yunouye, director of development for the College of Arts and Humanities.

“The books are Levine’s personal collection, and many of the books include his annotations, his notes and some of the books are signed by the authors, who he received them from, so this is definitely Levine’s personal collection,” said Jefferson Beavers, administrative staff member.

The family is donating over 2,000 books from Levine’s collection.

The reading room will be a place for students and people in the community to go and explore Levine’s talent and interests.

There will also be creative writing workshops, along with public

readings and visiting writers.

Many of Levine’s writings expressed concern for the average day-to-day people in society and the environment in which he lived.

“Phil wrote about the worker and the laborer. His most famous

book is the Pulitzer Prize-winning collection ‘What Work Is.’ It’s really what put him on the map in terms of national poetry,” Beavers said.

He also wrote about class and family.

“We are excited for the uni-

versity community as well as the Levine family to have this permanent space be a very tangible and living space for creative thought and writing commemorating Phil Levine’s career and his legacy,” said Yunouye.

Plant science professor honored at national conference

By Razi Syed @TheCollegian

Fresno State plant science professor Dr. Anil Shrestha was recently honored with the Science Society of America’s Outstanding Teacher Award at its national conference Feb. 9 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Before teaching, he spent years doing agricultural research.

“I think my experience with research gave me the skills for the applied, practical side of what this education means,” Shrestha said.

“I was able to bring that into the classroom.”

The professor has taken classes out to Fresno State’s farms, advised students on research and taken students along to conferences.

“It’s not just memorization of facts from a textbook — it helps them see something in the real world,” Shrestha said. “They can relate to things that makes the learning process easier for them and more interesting.”

Shrestha teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Elizabeth Mosqueda is one of Shrestha’s plant science graduate students in her final semester of her master’s degree and also took undergraduate classes with him.

“As an undergraduate, in his

weed science and pesticides class, he would always take his students out to different areas like the farm we have on campus.” Mosqueda said. “He’d show us the different projects his students were working on, what they meant and what they were going to possibly be entail for the entire ag region here in the Central Valley.”

“He not only told us — he showed us exactly how it worked and what the research we were doing was meant to do,” Mosqueda said.

Shrestha came to Fresno in 2002 as a researcher for the University of California at its Parlier ag-research facility and that experience, he said, was invaluable in his later work as a teacher.

“Agriculture is itself an applied science so when you teach these courses from an applied perspective students are able to relate more to what their learning actually means in the big picture, in the real world,” Shrestha said. “[Research experience] made it easier for me to show the connection between what their learning and what it means in the real world.”

In 2008, Shrestha came to Fresno State. “I haven’t had any teaching experience, prior to Fresno State,” she said.

Shrestha’s education and research has taken him around

the world — from high school in his native Nepal, undergraduate studies in India, graduate school at Cornell and Michigan State universities in the United States and post-doctoral work in Canada.

In summer 2015, he went back to Nepal to help set up a graduate weed science program at the Ag-

ricultural and Forestry University — an effort for which Shrestha was honored with Winrock International’s August 2015 Volunteer of the Month award.

“I designed their syllabus and I designed their curriculum for their graduate program in weed science,” Shrestha said. “I just got

word that they have started the program, so that is really good.”

During the spring 2015 semester, Shrestha was awarded Fresno State’s top faculty honor, the Provost’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, as well as an outstanding adviser award for the 2014 to 2015 school year.

Fresno State has kicked off its coaching search for the wrestling and women’s water polo teams, both of which will begin competing in the 2017-18 school year, the university announced Tuesday.

“We are really excited to add women’s water polo and wrestling, providing young men and women the opportunity right here in the heart of the Valley to continue playing the sport that they love while getting their education close to home,” Fresno State Director of Athletics Jim Bartko said in a statement. “Wrestling has such a rich tradition here in the Valley and water polo makes perfect sense in the footprint of our athletics structure and with our premiere aquatics venue. We look forward to incorporating these two sports into our university community while remaining focused on our continued commitment to gender equity and Title IX.” The wrestling program comes back after being cut in the summer of 2006 while water polo will be making its initial debut.

The duo will be the first sports added to the university since 2008-09 when women’s lacrosse made its debut and women’s swimming and diving made its return after being cut in 2004.

Wrestling will hold its competitions at the Save Mart Center while the North Gym will house the coaches’ offices and the team’s locker room and mat room.

Water polo, on the other hand, will compete at the Aquatics Center with player locker rooms in the North Gym Annex.

Conference affiliation for both programs has yet to be determined.

The initiative to bring back the wrestling program picked up momentum in fall 2013 when Fresno State president Dr. Joseph Castro and the athletic department initially started looking into the restoration.

“I am ecstatic that we are officially moving forward with reinstating wrestling and adding women’s water polo. We have taken the time to adequately prepare for the new programs and to do the fundraising necessary for them to succeed,” Castro said in a statement. “It’s a bold move to add two new sports, but they will provide great opportunities for student-athletes at Fresno State and tremendous enjoyment by Bulldog fans throughout the Valley and beyond. This is additional evidence that our academic and athletics programs are rising together."

The timeline for the sport additions is as follows: March 2016 – Head coaching positions posted April-June 2016 – Announce hirings of head coaches for both programs July 2016 – Hiring of assistant coaches Summer 2016 – Recruitment of student-athletes begins November 2016 – Early signing period; recruits can sign National Letters of Intent to join Bulldog programs August 2017 – Student-athletes of the two sports arrive on campus
