Annual Ramdoggy

Hot dogs! Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs here!

Fresno City College held its traditional Ram Doggie Round-Up on April 14, an event that’s held every spring semester. This event consists of appreciation for Fresno City students and staff for purchasing an ID card.

In appreciation of purchasing an ID card, Associated Student Government (ASG) served a free meal to all spring 2010 student body ID cardholders. The menu for the free meal included a hot dog, chips, drink and a dessert. For students and faculty without an ID card, they could purchase the meal for $5.

Terry Sims, 19, thought the Ram Doggie Round-Up was a great idea. He heard about the event through Blackboard and ASG members.

“I came to get my free meal and this my second time coming to the Ram Doggie Round-Up,” said Sims, a business major. “I also came last semester, too. I like this event because it’s appreciation to the students.”

Many students went to this event to enjoy the nice weather and to hang out with friends.

Armando Cortez, 19, thought the event was great and that the college should offer the free meal every day.

“I heard about the event through a friend, and this my first time coming to get my free meal,” said Cortez, who is an undeclared major. “I usually buy my food, but I saved money today by showing my ID card and getting my free meal!”

The event caught a lot of students’ attention, Cortez said, “I stopped by to check it out.”

ASG president Sergey Saluschev, 22, an international relations major, said: “An average of a thousand students and staff come to the Ram Doggie for the free meal.”

Saluschev said the event has been around since the 1940s, a long-lasting tradition. Every fall semester, ASG serves hamburgers meals and every spring semester it’s hot dogs.

Political science major Rebecca Ashjian, 19, also an ASG member, encouraged students to purchase an ID card, so when the next event comes they could get a free meal.

Ashjian said, “The Ram Doggie Round-Up has been around since my father came to FCC.”
