Now Cal State San Marcos will dedicate a statue in his honor. A fter his death in 1993, students and faculty at CSUSM began a signature campaign to recognize and honor Chavez by renaming the Academic Hall in his honor. San Fransisco State University's request to rename its student union building in Chavez's honor was granted first. The California State University system prevents two campuses from naming a building after the same person. The signature campaign was revived at Cal State San Marcos to dedicate another part of the campus to commemorate Chavez's contributions to-national and state life. After a competition, two local artists — T.J. Dixon and James Nelson — were selected and commissioned to design and create a bronze statue of Chavez. The statue will be unveiled and dedicated on March 31, 1997 from 11 a .m.to 1:30 p.m. Local dignitaries, university officials, and members of Chavez's family will be in attendance. A week-long festival of celebratory events has been planned beginning March 31 and ending April 4. The winner of a po- etry and essay contest will read his work during the dedication. Chavez's single-minded d edication t o t ransform t he l ives of C alifornia's migrant agricultural workers touched the hearts and minds of the nation as well as those of his home state, California. At the age of 10, a bank foreclosed on his family's farm, and his life as migrant farm worker began. When he reached the eighth grade, he had to leave school to help support his family. From 1945 to 1948, he served in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific. In 1952, he. began his work as a human rights crusader for social justice in the only S ee S tatue, pg. 7 Pay per print delayed until next semester Jedi bnngs in Jrilogy'sfiMe By Chrissy Wright Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Lisa VanVeen ) teachina credential oroaram learn a hands-on wav of teachina science to Mare racist flyers found across campus Page 2 See related story, pg 2 Campus to get first yearbook By Tina Leary Pride Staff Writer Diabled: facilities are good, but could be better Page 3: Mark Heinle, CSUSM student and owner of J&M Photography, will produce a campus yearbook in the Sping of '98, with the help of Associated Students.

So what happens when humans gain the power to clone other humans? On Feb. 23, Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist, announced his successful cloning of a Finn Dorset sheep. Once the news about the cloning of a m onkey b ecame p ublic, P resident Clinton addressed the nation on television, stating that the government would not fund further research on human cloning. The question now: Can we keep the human-cloning genie in the bottle? Some CSUSM professors don't believe that the United States government can resist the temptation to experiment. From the English Department, Pro- Pride staff writer Pamela Sivula asked students and staff around campus for their opinion on the ethics of cloning. Here are some of the responses. "I think cloning should be allowed. I w ould l ove t o b e cloned, especially if I would live forever — or if my clone would live forever. Cloning shouldn't be regulated [by the government]. I w ould w ant t o b e c loned a t my b est times, get rid of me, and keep the clone. I am not aware of how much it would cost to be cloned. But if there is any advantage, you have to make it available to everybody, regardless of what their economic status is."

Pride Staff Writer What does searching the grass f or red and green toothpicks have to d o with science? Students in the teaching credential program are designing activities that involve elementary s chool s tudents with s cience and f amiliarize themselves with materials b efore they discover how those objects relate to s cientific concepts. The activity allows students to be active first, to do somethiqg hands-on, without first having t o be passive and listen to the teacher explain concepts. A fter discovering on their own t hat the red toothpicks are easier to find, elementary school students learn about c amouflage in nature. Credential candidates in the Science Education in the Elementary School course design such activities t o get e lementary-school s tudents i nvolved in science and develop a curiosity about s cientific concepts. "The children a re given the hands-on material first so that they can play with it and f amiliarize themselves with it," student Lisa Bennet explained. " After they have a while to experiment and discover it f or themselves, the teacher then tells them what it is they are doing, and why they are doing i t." In this process, o r learning cycle, elementary-school children build a knowledge of the materials b efore the cpncepts are explained.

As way of an introduction, you should know that these patrol members share a common gummy bond. They are students and faculty who have been stuck on campus, not due to a transportation problem, but be cause they have stepped on a wad of d iscarded c hewing gum, leaving them hopelessly glued on a stair or sidewalk. After studying gum littered areas such as Craven Hall's stairs and the area in front of the men's and women's restrooms on the first floor of the ACD building, the patrol's finding suggests that most gum chewers tend to be social in nature, as evidenced by the many wads of colors discarded in the same vicinity. It is for this reason that some of the victims have been attacked by more than one wad at a time. For victims of multiple attacks, you can hear their mournful wailing echoing f rom the walls of Craven Hall as they struggle to unglue their shoe. Or you may notice people emerging from Craven Hall, w earing o nly o ne s hoe, c lipping and clopping along, eyes focused on the ground as they try to avoid any more of the fresh, juicy pink, gray or black blobs indiscriminately displayed oft the concrete. Observe carefully and you might see the gummed shoe held in the owner's hand displaying the same ugly art. I t's t acky—people s ticking to the ground, especially since two custodians devote almost 15 percent of their work day scraping gum remains, sweeping up cigarette butts, and wiping up coffee and soda spills . CSUSM also hires eight students from Sierra Vista School to help keep our campus as clean as possible. Supervisors need to cruise the campus searching for victims and wad zones. You can almost feel their frustration because it's a never-ending process. While students and faculty enjoy semester breaks, the Facilities Department breaks out the high pressure water equipment and power washes the offending areas as best they can. It's not a commercial— gum and stains don't all magically disappear—and scraping off old, soggy gum is yucky. The Gum Shoe Patrol participants acknowledge that not all gum chewers dispose of their gum improperly. For some, all it takes is a reminder that the laige, green containers dotting CSUSM sidewalks are for trash-—including gum. Sometimes people just need to realize that they are guests on CSUSM's campus and that they have a responsibility to the school, community and taxpayers to be good citizens. Be responsible and pick up after yourself. After all, it is your school, be proud of it. Pride Staff Writer The University provides support to 25 to 30 students certified with various learning disabilities (LD), accordong to Joh Segoria, director of Disabled Student Services. Unlike the physically handicapping conditions, LD is not visible, even to the effected person. Most of the students are served by Disabled Student Services. 4 The problem is getting Freshmen to come in," said Segoria. His office attempts to reach incoming students through various media including the Student Affairs Council, the Educational Opportunities Program and letters included in the campus orientation package. According to a pamphlet on the subject from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), students with LD often hear statements like "you seem so intelligent" and "you don't look handicapped." Such statements typify pervasive attitudes that make getting help for "hidden handicaps" so difficult LD leaves no disfigurement As such, it invites little understanding and few offers^of support.

And though many of us here may have expected a downhill slide to normality this semester, we have yet to be delivered such. I for one was ready for a semester of recovery from the blatant racist stuff. But the Fairs drama spilled over into this semester with racist leaflets strewn across the parking lot during the audit from the Chancellor's office, which was designed specifically to m easure the university's effectiveness in dealing with such things. It was a prefect opportunity for the administration to show its grit, with eyes from Long Beach alongside. More graffiti and swastika printed flyers have shown up here and there since then. I wonder if many even take the time to notice anymore. While such blatant acts should not be ignored, it is time that the campus began focusing on other topics. A large bronze statue of Cesar Chavez will be presented next week in its permanent standing ground atop the stairs from the new student parking lot. A week-long celebration will accompany its dedication — perhaps the campus can rejoice in what it has achieved for a little while. W hile r acist e vents of t he p ast f ew months may have tarnished Cal State San Marcos' image, such an event demonstrates this campus-community's solidity. Associated Students Inc. elections, coming off a horrid voter and candidate turnout from last year, are set for April 21 and 22. The Pride will be interviewing candidates and detailing a fee increase that will be on the ballot. The students' interest in improving this campus will be evident one election day. Free dialup internet access may soon be a thing of the past. Proposals have already been made to begin charging students for use, while further limiting access. Such things may be necessary to deal with an increasing student population. And an increased student population makes classrooms all the plumper. It is time that this campus puts the past months behind us. Remember what has happened and focus on this campus' future. West Coast Community Newspapers Letters to the editor are welcome.

Thuxsday, Munch 27, 1997 Group needs to drop the Aryan not, change your name; condemn the actions of the feebleminded in your group who will only continue to embarrass you and renounce your connections with the fascist traditions of Nazism. When you understand how glorious our history is, perhaps you will think twice before desecrating it by associating yourselves with such institutions. It is not Adolf Hitler and the Aryan Student Union that I look u p to, but Winston Churchill and the great traditions of the British Empire. I trust that the great majority of other whites here in the United States and around the world feel the same way. We will regard you with scorn and contempt for dishonoring and besmirching the reputation of this institution if you continue with your present course of action. "Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice ofjustice when it mattered most that made it possible for evil to triumph," said Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie before the United Nations General Assembly, 1963. Are you prepared to join the ranks of those cowardlyfiguresin history who just sat back while evil acts were committed against the weak and defenseless? Indeed the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who refuse to take sides. We who sit here today are the beneficiaries of the millions ofAmericans who have fought and died and lived to make this country what it is. The question today is: "Where are all of us students at this university and citizens of this country going to be when we are asked to step out and say what we stand for?" I am writing this letter in response to one published in 2/27 issue by the president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union. In it, they expressed concern that: "While nonAryan persons have been allowed to show pride and solidarity on issues affecting their race and culture, we are excluded from all forms of expression on our campus and were even smeared openly." The letter said that they were forced to "use illegal symbolisms to redress their grievances" due to their inhibited expression, though the group's leadership "did not condone the acts of those who might be connected to us." The president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union have missed the point entirely. While they are proud of their "white heritage," they congregate under a name which conjures the images ofAdolf Hitler and the Nazi Third Reich. Is it any wonder why they are not given the opportunity to participate in educated and professional discourse? Does the Asian Student Association identify with the imperialist Japanese government that slaughtered thousands of Americans at Pearl Harbor? Does the Mexican-American Student Alliance celebrate the Spanish conquerors who destroyed civilizations in Central-America? Of course not. They focus only on the positive contributions their groups have made in years since. And they should be recognized, as this is what diversity is all about. My family came to the United States more than 370 years a gofrom a small town in Wales known as Cardiff (the original Cardiff-by-the-Sea). I speak as aproud White Jeff Burleson" Anglo-Saxon Protestant who is furious that Senior you wouldrepresentyourselves as speaking Political Science for white students at this campus or anywhere in the world. Adolf Hitler swore not only to eliminate the Slavic and Jewish races, but also to destroy the British Empire and the United States as well. Is that something to celebrate? If you were truly proud of your heritage, I wholeheartedly agree with the Aryan you would celebrate all of the contributions student Union's argument that all ethnic that have been made by English-speaking peoples. T he oldest democracy in the world with a long and proud history of freedom: freedom of expression, freedom from fear, freedom from religious persecution. Indeed, the veryreasonwe are able to have this exchange today is because of the Anglo-Saxon traditions that were set forth when the British colonies were first founded. I am very proud of what the British peoples have done around the world and unlike you I am not afraid to sign my name to this letter and let everyone know who I am and what I stand for. Thereasonsyou have not been given anyrespecton this campus are because you refuse to let others know who you are, you meet "underground" in secrecy and you have chosen to identify yourselves with a regime that more than 250,000Americans gave their lives to destroy. Can you name another group of people who refuse to let others know who they are, meet in secrecy and swear allegiance to a figure or an idea in stark contrast to the American way of life?

Garcia also commented that she "can' t see any benefit to cloning humans at this point in time." On the opposite end of the spectrum is Professor Durig, a sociologist strongly opposed to the idea. "Who is in charge, who decides right from wrong?" Durig expressed his fear at the possibility of human cloning. "It is scary when people in power create the functions for everyone else in society." Durig asked "Why do it? Who is it going to serve?" Durig touched on the possibility of a creation of a dominant race. Who could stop those in power from creating more like them? The idea of cloning and its impact on humankind will not be fully understood until it becomes a part of histoiy. "I am against cloning. Animals should have a right to breed on their own and like they naturally would. If they do not breed [naturally], they could be artificially inseminated. Cloning would be taking away their individualism, and animals are individuals. [And if they pursue cloning humans,] doctors are going where they shouldn't be going They are playing God and will end up with everyone looking and acting the same. "As far as humans go, I don't think [cloning] is an ethical way to go because you run into all kinds of issues: Why would you want to clone humans? What do you do with the extra, or the second, person? What rights do they have?" I think cloning is kind of scary. It doesn't bother me with animals.

He organized CSO chapters throughout California and Arizona. His dream was to create an organization for farm workers. When he could not convince the CSO to organize farm workers, he gave up his first full-time paid job to devote all of his efforts to building a nucleus of farm workers. In 1962, he founded the National Farm Workers Association in Delano. His followers engaged a course of nonviolent protest following the teachings of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King to make its influence felt. In 1991, he received the AguilaAzteca, Mexico's highest award presented to people of Mexican heritage who have made major contributions outside of Mexico.
