Professors and students at Fresno State are creating a dust tunnel device to research whether mist can reduce harmful particles in the air. Studies show the smaller the particle is, the more likely it is to enter the body and cause damage to the lungs or heart. Fresno State professors Athanasios Alexandrou , Diganta Adhikari and Patrick Barnes plan to test microscopic dust particles to see if mist will have any effect on how far these particles can travel. “Particulate matter is small par- ticles that are what we call dust,” Alexandrou said.

Stuff like this is why ASI is regarded by the greater mass of Fresno State students as a pathetic joke. Truth is, security drones are here, at least nationally. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fresno police don’t implement a program using military surplus equipment in the next few years. If so, they will fly them city-wide, including on campus. Fresno Police Department has always taken the position that its writ runs onto the Fresno State campus.
