By Debbie Richards
CoUegian Staff Writer
• Evidence presented at hearing,
not guilty plea entered
CSUF student Geng Tong "John" Jang
will be tried for the murder of his room¬
mate, a judge ruled Friday.
At a preliminary hearing in municipal
court, coroner's reports revealed that Kuei-
Chen "Amber" Su, Jang's roommate, was
strangled. A detective testified that Jang
confessed tothe murder and told detectives
how he killed Su.
Jang, a 23-year-old graduate student from
Taiwan, was arrested March 11 after Su's
body was discovered in the foothills north¬
east of Clovis. Su, alsoa graduate student at
CSUF, had been missing for two weeks.
Jang has pleaded innocent.
Pathologist Jerry Nelson testified thatthe
cause of death was "manual strangulation."
Fresno County Sheriffs Detective Chris¬
tian Lee Curtice testified that Jang turned
himsel f in the day after Su's body was found,
and then confessed to the murder.
"He stated he squeezed her throat until
she wasn't moving anymore. Afterwards
he tried to shake her to wake her up," Cur¬
tice said. "He tied a cloth around her face
because he said he didn't want to see her
face."
Curtice testified that Jang told detectives
he and Su had been fighting when they
returned home from school on the night of
Feb. 26. Jang said they were fighting about
her plans to move out. Jang said had been
reading her diary in which Su expressed a
desire tomoveaway from him. He told her
she was using him and "other boys" and she
pulled a kitchen knife on him.
"She said,' If you say something like that
again, I'll kill you,'" Curtice testified. "She
stood opposite him with the knife."

tural community which was hit
hard by the continuing drought
and December freeze with basic
necessities.
A state of disaster has been
declared in the San Joaquin Valley
agriculturalcommunityduetothe
December freeze and the sustained
drought. This has left thousands
of farm workersand their families
in need of money, food and cloth¬
ing. Many are facing unemploy¬
ment and eviction.
"I t struck m y hea rt to see people
who want to work and make a
dignified living, but are unable to
work. These people are unaccus¬
tomed to asking for help," said
Sergio Aguilar, whoorganized the
food drive on campus.
The students, faculty and staff
of CSUF are being asked to give
their support by participating in
the emergency food drive from
