That's exactly what these "color games" are about. The games are organized by the school's resident directors who are hoping to inspire a sense of camaraderie among on-campus residents. "They're in the halls all day so they get to their floor, in their wing very well. But the hope here is that they get to learn people from other buildings and have fun and be a little competitive," said Resident Director Michael Roehlk.
Across campus, other students stopped by the kennel bookstore looking for the textbooks needed for the upcoming semester. "I have to actually buy it now and spend money on it. Totally different from high school and now," said freshman Jason Lin.
Lin is new to the textbook buying experience and this year, there is another choice besides buying new or used.
The bookstore now has three titles available to rent at a savings of 60 to 65 percent.
While a record number of students are entering Fresno State this fall, the number of new faculty members is down this year. There are 43 new faculty members this fall, 20 fewer than last year. Administrators said that's because they're expecting reductions in state funding.
