internalization of racism, sexism

She said, "teaching in an academic

not only provide a paycheck, but
that give fulfillment and joy. She

The rain stopped and the sun
peeked through the clouds for
CSUSM's 1st Annual Black History Month Breakfast. The catered
event, which included poetry, song,
and inspirational speeches, was
sponsored by Associated Students
Inc., outside at Forum Plaza at
8:00am, Feb. 28,2000.
CSUSM student Roger Frazier
started off the event by singing
the Black National Anthem, a song
about liberty and learning from the
past. Then ASI President Waleed
Delawari and CSUSM President
Alexander Gonzalez welcomed
students, faculty, staff and administrators in attendance.
Gonzalez stated that CSUSM
is a "campus of firsts" and hopefully the event would be a continual program. He also said that

CSUSM S tudent D rops out to C are f or F amily
Father Unjustly taken away by INS?
Izabel's father. The officers were
looking for a suspect who had no
relation to Mr. Solis. The officers
coerced Solis into letting them enter
the house. After the officers entered
the house, they proceeded to interrogate Solis and four of his young
children, asking, "Are you hiding
someone under the bed?" and "Is
this man your father, or are you
lying?" The children are 11, 6, 5,
and 2 years of age.
After confirming Solis's identity, the officers took Solis into custody to deport him on the grounds
of Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of
1996 (IIRAIRA). Mr. Solis has a
prior conviction and served 181 days
in jail and 90 days probation for
attempted arson—Solis had thrown
a bottle of perfume (combustable
material) on to the roof of a
neighbors home, and had called the
fire department himself. Solis was
allowed to remain in the US after
serving his sentence.The 1996 law,
however, requires the deportation of
immigrants with criminal convictions, even those who have already
served their sentence and were
allowed at the time of their release
law, at least 13 federal district courts
have ruled that INS! has greater flexibility in implementing the law's
mandatory detention requirements
than we had thought. As a result,
INS will conduct a case-by-case
review and exercise discretion on
those individuals who completed
their criminal sentences prior to Oct.
9, 1998, do not pose a danger to
the community, and demonstrate a
strong likelihood to appear for their
hearing."
According to Izabel Solis, it
has been extremely difficult to
acquire any information about her
father, either from the INS, or from
Mr. Solis's Immigration attorney,
Thomas A. Mix. On February 4th,
immigration officer Robles claimed
Solis's bail would be $7,500, and
later when a friend, Dan Leonard,
tried to pay the bail, he was informed
that there was no information about
Mr. Solis. Dan was not able to find
information until February 7th when
an INS judge informed him and the
Solis family that Mr. Solis could
not be allowed bail. Even the
attorney hired by the Solis family
proved ineffective at answering
questions. When Izabel's sister,
Patricia, requested Mix to explain
her father's case, he told her that she
would not be able to understand.
Since Mr. Solis is a residential
alien, not a citizen of the US, he was
not entitled to the same rights that
protect US citizens. Upon his arrest,
he was not entitled to an attorney
and had to find and pay for an attorney on his own in order not to be
deported without a trial. In addition
to this, Mr. Solis claims that he
and other INS detainees are under
immense pressure to choose to be
deported rather than go through the
lengthy and expensive trial process.
According to Ricardo Favela,
vice president of MEChA at
CSUSM, this problem facing the
Solis family is not an isolated case.
"It is only US policy towards Mexican and Latin American people. .
This type of Gestapo tactic is policy
towards Mexican and other Latin
American people here in the U.S.
It is a fact that Mexican and other
indigenous-looking Latin American
people are the only people in this
nation who have a special police
force specifically working to watch
over us."

Izabel Splis withdrew from her
classes at CSUSM in order to support her family in a time of need.
She is currently working three parttime jobs to pay for the family's rent,
utilities, and legal costs, because her
father has been incarcerated since
February 3. Felipe Solis Villaruel
is at Camp Barrett, a county jail
where Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) houses non-citizens awaiting deportation hearings.
Izabel was beginning her junior
year at California State University
San Marcos pursuing a BS in sociology with plans to continue college
for her MA in forensic psychology.
She had hoped to become a profiler
for the police department after she
completes her studies. Now Izabel,
the eldest Solis child at 20 years,
works at San Marcos Middle School
in the Gear-Up program, and as
a tutor at two North-County high
schools, to provide for the family of
eight.
On February 3rd, five INS officers arrested Felipe Solis Villaruel,
to stay in the country.
According to information on the
web site for the Law Offices of
Manulkin, Glaser & Bennett, Immigration Attorneys:
"Immigrants convicted of a
crime defined by immigration law
(not by criminal law) as an 'aggravated felony' are deportable. Under
IIRAIRA, crimes as minor as
shoplifting now constitute aggravated felonies. Furthermore, the new
expanded definition is retroactive.
Thus, legal immigrants today may
be placed into deportation proceedings for minor offenses they committed 25 years ago. This is true
even if the offense was not defined
at the time as an aggravated felony
(and therefore may not have been a
deportable offense), and the immigrant at that time was punished in
the criminal law system."
INS has apparently made an
amendment to the ruling in a press
release dated July 12, 1999, allowing some of those who have served
their sentence by October 9, 1998
to be eligible for release.
In the press release INS Commissioner, Doris Meissner, said, "In

Dear Fellow CSUSM Students:
I am writing in response to
ASI Executive Vice President,
Robert Radovich's letter where he
called my ideas "ignorant". My
opinion was correct and I will
show you why. ASI is now saying
that the Christmas bonuses that
ASI approved with our money last
semester is okay because no students received the bonuses, just
staff members. This makes it okright? NO! It was still our elected
ASI members who voted in favor of
the bonuses. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, ASI voted
for the bonuses behind closed doors
with no student access permitted. J
wonder why? What did ASI fear?
After having to request them two
different times and waiting over
three months, I finally obtained a
copy of the November 12, 1999
ASI Board of Director meeting
minutes. The minutes show that
the board went into closed session
to vote on this issue.
What is this! They lock out
their fellow students, discuss an
important issue and then open the
doors and say, we vote yes on
what we talked about while you
couldn't come in? This is wrong
and by NO definition FOR THE
STUDENTS. In addition, I feel
that Robert Radovich may not be
the best ASI member to address
this issue because according to the
minutes, Radovich failed to attend
this important meeting. The students needed Radovich's moneysaving "NO" vote but, he let us
down. In 1998, ASI asked the students to raise their fees so that they
could better promote campus life
activities. I reluctantly voted yes on
the raise as I thought it would help
better CSUSM. I did not vote to
raise my tuition so ASI could give
our money away to certain staff
members for Christmas bonuses.
Heck! We all work very hard all
year long and we don't expect
Christmas bonuses. I say to Robert

One thing that could be done to
help alleviate the problem would be
to place "wheelchair preferred" signs

OPINION
MEChA Statement
on Prop. 21
Proposition 21 is an initiative known as the
"anti-gang violence" initiative which w ill be on the
ballot on March 7. Many organizations throughout California, including churches, stand against
this inhumane proposition due to its cruel nature.
It will allow for 14 year old children to be tried as
adults for certain crimes and w ill mix children as
young as 14 years old into the adult penal system.
These children will be Mexican, African, or any
other brown youth that the police illegally label
as "gang members". We know that white children
will not be targeted as much by this law. If it goes
into effect, Proposition 21 w ill strip many black
and brown youth of their constitutional rights,
including their right to privacy. The initiative
will allow for wire-tapping of "gang members"
phones. This initiative is another great idea from
Pete Wilson. The following w ill put the Proposition into its historical context and what this law
represents to the Chicano/Mexicano Movement.
We must understand that Prop. 21 has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with
social and population control. In the "Voter Information Guide" which contains the complete text
of the initiative, the proposed law refers to the
prospective increase in the population of people
of color in California: "The problem o f youth and
gang violence w ill, without active intervention,
increase, because the juvenile population is projected to grow substantially by the next decade"
(119).
Legislation which incarcerates youth more
easily and for longer periods of time are the State o f
California's strategy in dealing with the increase
of black and brown people. We must understand
that the term "gang" and "gang member" are labels
put on Mexican/Chicano youth as an attempt to
divide our people, to criminalize and to dehumanize those of us who resist white North American
culture. This label also allows the state to take
away the constitutional rights of youth. The historical origin o f today's so called "gang members"
are rooted in our culture of resistance to white
supremacy. The first warriors who resisted U.S.
colonialism such as Joaquin Murrieta and the
"Pachucos" have always been outcast as bandits
and gangsters by the media and the court system
of California. Today, since we ate not taught our
history, most of us are ignorant of these facts, and
play the part of being "gang members" instead of
being warriors for our people. We say we are warriors, not gangsters.
We must understand that the legislation o f
Proposition 21 is used to expand the Prison Indus-
trial Complex. It goes hand in hand with Prop.
227, denying our youth the right to an adequate
education, and Prop. 209, which limits the number
of Chicano/Mexicano professionals who could
defend la Raza, and Prop. 184 which makes it
easier for the state of California to lock up as
many Mexicans and Africans as possible.
Prop. 21 is part of California's legacy of keeping brown and black people poor, uneducated,
incarcerated and powerless. Just as Prop. 187 created hysteria about "illegal aliens", Prop. 21 will
create more racism against Chicano/Mexicano
youth and further divide our people. For example,
the labeling of our brothers and sisters as "gang
members" separates them from the rest of our
gente and even the term itself connotes violence,
drug-dealing, and criminal activity. Thus many
of our own people will say that this is what these
"gang members" deserve.
This is an attempt by the state o f California
to weaken or destroy the strong sense of carnalismo that is a part of our culture. Carnalismo is
the idea that we are all brothers and sisters and
we all have a responsibility to take care of each
other. Thus Prop. 21 is also an attack on our culture. M.E.Ch.A. says Chale con Prop, 21, and an
attack on one is an attack on all. Prop. 21 is also
an attempt to blame the victim for his or her own
problems. It should be well known by now that
the C.I.A. and the U.S. Government are responsible for the majority of the drugs and guns in
our communities. Finally, there is an important
lesson to be learned from this proposition and
other racist/genocidal legislative attacks that have
been handed down to our people ever since we
were conquered and colonized by the U.S. 152
years ago.
Until we develop our organizations, there will
always be Prop. 21's, Prop. 187's, Prop. 209's,
and we will always be a powerless and exploited
people; even i f we become the majority in our
own land once again. We demand that
1. The full constitutional rights of youth to be
protected and guaranteed.
2. The media and court system to stop labeling and documenting our youth as "gang
members".
3. The C.I. A ./U.S. government to stop importing drugs and guns to our communities.
4. Full prosecutions of police who participate
in conspiracy, drug dealing, murder, and promotion of barrio violence.
We ask that Mexican/Chicano youth stop
calling themselves "gang members", and to
take on the responsibility of defending their
gente.
D ear E ditors:
D ear E ditors:
I was so pleased to read Mike Sanella's letter
in the Feb. 21 issue of The Pride. It is great that
students are speaking out about their experiences
with student government here at CSUSM.
The ICC meeting on Feb. 11 was indeed
a very frustrating experience. The rules guiding
the ICC budget ARE EXTREMELY vague and
unclear. It is a pity that our student government
maintains such a bureaucratic mess. At our last
BOD (ASI) meeting, we discussed the possibilities o f trying to simplify/clarify the mess. I sincerely hope that there will be action behind those
words. Student clubs should not have to waste
time and energy trying to fight the system.
I, too, was very shocked that HUNDREDS
o f dollars could be spent on flyers that will be
trashed, while not a single penny could be spent on
T-shirts (for Student Parent Alliance club events)
that were to be used over and over.
A s for the experiences I've had with our student government, I'd have to say that I probably
share a lot in the same feelings of frustration as
Mike. That is what motivated me to speak out
and write this letter. Our ASI is a bureacracy...a
BUSINESS, as it is often said, and it seems that
most decisions and policies are made with business sense in mind...not student needs. Students
can't always come first in a business and that is
what causes our ASI to be so lacking.
I know that there are only a couple months
left in this semester, but I really feel that changes
can be made. I got into ASI and on to the BOD
as the Post-Bacc. Representative. I have been in
office for about a month now. The reason I got
into ASI was because I was not happy with how
our government was serving us. The office was
vacant and so I put in my application.
There is room on the board for others who
want to try to change how things are done. A s o f
our last BOD meeting, there were at least 2 positions open. Please come and get an application
from the ASI office and start changing things for
the better.
If being on the BOD is not your thing, then
at least come to our meetings and tell us i f we
are doing things right, wrong, or whatever. Our
next meeting is Friday, March 10 and there will
be items on the agenda that affect ICC (inter club
council).
ASI is YOUR government. Our budget is
over 1,000,000 dollars!!! If you don't like something, come and tell us. Leave notes in our boxes
at the ASI office. Email us. Write it up and send
it to the Pride so your voice can be heard! Tell us
how you want that million bucks spent.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT UNION

The University Student Union Advisory Board
was created to provide advice from students,

construction and operation of a University
Student Union facility. The University Student
Union facility is being developed for the benefit
of students, faculty, stajff and alumni to promote
and assist the educational program of the

Phase One of the Union facility in conjunction
with the Clarke Field House. The Phase One
facility will be small but will provide the first
conference facilities on campus and will be
located adjacent to the first exercise and athletic
facilities on campus.
Several subcommittees of the University Student
Union Advisory Board are currently seeking
additional student members. If you would like
more information about the Finance, Facilities,
Programming and Relations, or Personnel
Committees, please contact the chair of the
Personnel Committee, Kara Kornher, at
750-4905 or kkomher@maiihostl xsusm.edu.
I am concerned about the shabby disrespect that the ASI and the ICC board have for
the Brown Act. To date, they have violated it
left and right. The ASI board, on November
12, 1999, violated it by going into closed session without 24 hour written notice prior to the
session. Under the Brown Act, what they discussed is not even one of the items of an agenda
that is permitted to be discussed in closed session. Both of these offenses are only misdemeanors, but do we want lawbreakers to govern
us? What other laws are they breaking? I do
not know what the rest o f my fellow students
feel, but I do not want criminals representing
me on the student government.
We need to elect some new and honest
blood to ASI. How many of you are aware that
the ICC chair is only an appointed official? In
my opinion, this needs to be raised to the level
o f an elected official, rather than being a puppet
o f ASI.
If more students were actively interested
in the actions o f the ASI, change would come
about more quickly in the interests of the students, rather than the ASI. If you don't feel
comfortable going to the meetings, write to the
paper and let your voice be heard! Don't forget
that those ASI elections for next year will be
held in April. This is a concrete way to let your
voice be heard.
Thank you for your time and patience,

152 y ears of U .S. C olonialism
Mexican and Latin American people's human rights are violated on a
daily basis. 152 years and two days
after the U.S. forced Mexico to sign
away almost half of her land, her gold,
her resources, and her people, the U.S.
continues to violate Mexican people's
human rights. On the night of February
4th, Felipe Solis respectfully allowed
five Border Gestapo agents to enter
his home. The agents were looking for
a man by the name of "Rodriguez",
an alleged "illegal" resident. Thinking
all Mexicans look alike and that all
Mexicans lie, the Border Pigs began to
accuse CSUSM student Izabel Solis'
father of being this man. These pigs
even accused the children in the home
of lying about their own father's identity. The Border Gestapo then kidnapped Izabel's father, and I say kidnapped because he was taken against
his will, with no warrant for his arrest.
Although he is a legal resident, he is
considered "deportable" due to a past
conviction. Thus, he and his family are
now being punished for a crime for
which-Felipe had already served time.
Can anyone tell me if these incidents
happen in a white neighborhood?
By Joni Miller
As many of you may know, February was
Black History Month. Our campus, as well as
many other organizations and institutions celebrated the contributions African-Americans
have made to the world through art, music,
and literature. One such event was scheduled
to take place at the "101 Artists Colony" in
Encinitas on Saturday, February 19.
The event, a superb night of music, poetry
and fellowship, and including wonderful local
talent, among them CSU San Marcos Professor Sharon Elise, was abruptly cancelled the
night before it was to take place.
On Friday, February 18th, an article
appeared in the "Preview" section of the North
County Slime (oops) Times. It hailed the event
as a celebration of Black History Month. The
article also included interviews with local artists Jihmye Collins, Professor Elise, and Artist's Colony board member Robert Walker.
The last paragraph of the article read: "This
month celebrates Black History, and we are
dedicating the event on Saturday to Mumia

police officer."

individuals in our community, which
further allows U.S. police and immigration forces to brutalize and terrorize Mexican people on a daily basis
with no repercussions. It should also
be noted that between 1998-1999, in a
period of 15 months, five males have
been shot and killed by police and
sheriffs throughout towns and cities
in North County. Four of these males
were Mexican and one was Natiye
American. Yet these killings have been
swept under the rug.
The recent uncovering of the
LAPD officers involved in drug-dealing, conspiracy, false incriminations,
and frame-ups only serve to affirm
African-American and Mexican people's mistrust of police in our communities. Instead of feeling protected by
the law, these cases give evidence to
the rumors in our communities about
the role of police in keeping our people
drugged-up, divided and living in fear
of the law. It should be clear that these
incidents are not isolated.
Much like the murders, beatings
and kidnappings, these criminal and
terrorist acts being carried out by the
state are only public policy towards
Africans, Mexicans, Latinos, and
Asians. The only purpose of the police
is to maintain the inequality between
the rich and the poor, and police will
do all that is necessary (or what they
are told to do) to make sure that we stay
in our places as poor, exploited and
powerless people. This is the reason
why the police and the FBI militarily
revised that directly influence Student
Life and Academics. The CSUSM student body, not just the ASI should
determine the need and validity of
CSUSM policies before being submitted to President Gonzalez and his
administrative staff for approval. In
addition, the same open forum format
regarding new university policies
should be provided for all CSUSM
Faculty and staff.
The way CSUSM administrators
are running this university needs to
change. However, it is up to us, the
students, to actively speak out to these
CSUSM administrators who consistently attempt to create policies that
are not beneficial to the academic success and personal growth of those who
pay good money to attend California
State University, San Marcos. It is very
unfortunate to witness a large group
of CSUSM students taking the time
to debate with a street preacher. Yet,
no one but myself can attend an ASI
open student forum occurring at the
same time to discuss concerns related
to unfair university policies involving
computer use, parking services, etc.
It is no wonder the CSUSM administration is less concerned with current student life issues and more concerned with the physical development
of campus buildings and the recruitment o f future students. Shame on
you, CSUSM students, for not taking
enough initiative to actively speak out
more on issues that have a direct negative impact on our academic and personal experiences at this university.
Sincerely,
Eddie Goan
attacked the Black Power and Chicano Power movements. These movements were aimed at eliminating the
gap between the rich and the poor,
which is a direct threat to the rich.
Thus, it should be clear that the
brutality, drug-dealing, kidnappings,
frame-ups and promotion of gang-violence on the part of the police and
I.N.S. is only policy towards Mexicans,
Latinos, and African-Americans, and
are not isolated incidents. On top of all
this, racist laws and legislation legalize and institutionalize these inhumane
policies. The case of Izabel's father is
a result of stricter immigration laws,
which only allows for the Border
Gestapo to enter into people's homes
and kidnap family members with no
justified reason at all. Also, 3-Strikes
and Prop. 21, which will be on your
ballot this week, allow for the state to
fill California's prisons with black and
brown people. The state of California
has reinstated slavery through the 13th
amendment by allowing for the privatization of California's prisons. This
literally means that private businesses
and corporations can literally buy or
build prisons, which will be used as
a source of cheap labor and massive
profits. This is California's response
to the projected increase of people of
color. Lock them up and throw away
the key.
is carried out in our public schools and
universities and is the teaching of individualistic and capitalistic ethics and
values. These principles teach us to
cafe more about our individual selves
and our bank accounts than our people,
our neighbors, our brothers, and sisters
here and across the world. They teach
us how to fit in this corrupt and rotten
society instead of teaching us how to
transform it.
Education should be more than
job skills. A true education will teach
people how to take control of their
own lives and how to create their own
destiny (Keep in mind, Manifest Destiny was once an idea in some white
supremacist's head). Colonialism has
stolen our people's dreams of creating
a just and equal society and has told us
to get-in where wefit-in.A true education will teach us how to have respect
for our people and ourselves. A true
education will instill a sense of dignity in our people so we know when to
say, "enough is enough." A true education will allow us to figure out how
to end poverty, how to end police brutality, and will teach us to respect each
other as human beings. A true education will take away all of our fears of
standing up for what is right, because
if you are afraid of dying, then you are
afraid of living. A true education will
liberate us once and for all.
