We're not really sure. Perhaps Plan 9 is the administration's evil plan to crush the students. Perhaps Plan 9 is the student's evil plan to overthrow the administration. Whatever, Plan 9 is CSU San Marcos' first alternative paper, since it seems that after only two years we already needan alternative rag. Plan 9 will be whatever the university community (yes, f ol k s,\ that really does indude students, faculty, staff and admin- % istration) makes of it. Maybe Plan 9 will only last a few issues.
