gain, they were knocking at the door. This time it was louder, Aclearer. It had a distinctly assured tone. The CSUSB men’s Roundball basketball team believed it belonged here. It was the third time in CSUSB history that the team had picked its way past the line Rumblings of sharpshooters to the national Elite Eight tournament in NCAA Division II play. But it was the very first time in school history that the team had broken into the Final Four. In 1999, the Coyotes went to Louisville. In 2002, it was Evansville. This March, it was Springfield, Mass., where James Naismith rigged up that first peach basket and tossed a soccer ball into it in 1891. In Springfield, the Coyotes were the pride of the West. All seven other teams com- peting in the Elite Eight were from parts Midwest, South and East. The first round of the tourney saw CSUSB thump Wingate, 100-73, setting the team up for a showdown with Barton College, last year’s Division II runner-up. So tight was the Barton-CSUSB battle that

In 23.5 seconds Barton would re-take the lead — for good, beat- ing the Coyotes, 80-79.

Ivan Johnson, CSUSB’s 6-foot, 8-inch center, was the Coyotes’ high scorer with 19 points and added three assists and three steals as well. Chet Johnson checks the scoreboard, but — at times — CSUSB trainer Laura Watkins could barely stand to watch during the last few minutes of a game tight from start to finish. the game’s lead changed 16 times. Barton had a point to prove this time around. Last year, it had lost in the tourney finale to Winona. This year, Winona was back and waiting to see if it would face Barton or Cal State San Bernardino in the final. With 1:06 left in the game, CSUSB center Ivan Johnson, who finished with a team high 19 points, put the Coyotes up 79-78 when he dropped in a layup and a free throw. Barton tied the game with a free throw of its own, and when CSUSB rebounded a missed second free throw with 25 seconds left, the Coyotes stood at the door knocking, again knock- ing until the team missed converting on a pick-and-roll. With 1.5 seconds left, Barton guard Anthony Atkinson sank the deciding free throw, draining CSUSB hopes. Still, some of the “swagger” the team had lost after playing .500 ball last year had been reclaimed. Winning was, again, as much an expectation as it was a goal.

Cynthia Flores

Citing her dedication to making higher education accessible to underserved commu- nities, Cynthia Flores, associate dean of Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus, was named “Woman of the Year” for the 80th Assembly District in ceremonies March 5 at the state capitol. Flores was Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia’s (R-Cathedral City) choice for the annual honor. Flores has dedicated her career to educa- tion. She has served at CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus since June 1999, and is now respon- sible for all academic and student support ser- vices at the 1,000-student campus. In 2004, the Mexican American Chamber of Commerce gave Flores its Educator of the Year award for her – at that time – 30 years of work in higher educa- tion. Her comment in a 2004 Desert Sun article was that teaching was “an amazing opportunity to challenge students and create discussion in the classroom.” Looking south on E Street, CEL’s Downtown Center office is located across from the historic Harris building and next to the Clarion Hotel.

12 CSUSB Spring/Summer Even the gods love a parade. On a block of sandstone (left) partially preserved, this procession of 12 deities was carved in sunk relief either on a shrine or a temple wall. The procession is led by Hepi, god of the Nile, followed by the fertility god Min. At 17 ¾ inches tall and 4 feet wide, the relief hails from the Ptolemaic Period, most likely from Upper Egypt. The Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum (below) wrapped up its 10th anniversary celebration at the end of the 2006‑07 year, and remains one of only two art museums in the 23-campus CSU system.

Yes, Piaget and Vygotsky. Now, kids ages 3-12 who come to the Children’s Center at CSUSB really couldn’t give an owl’s hoot about Piaget and Vygotsky. At this point in life they’re thinking more Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lego, Nabisco and Kraft. Nonetheless, Piaget and Vygotsky fit snugly into the center’s belief – supported by mounting evi- dence – that children develop best when they’re active, exploring and involved in the world around them. This is what children like and need, and this is why CSUSB’s Children’s Center is the happiest place on campus. The Children’s Center provides a comprehen- sive educational program for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old, and an after-school enrichment program for children ages 6-12.
