Slate Sen, Wifftam Craven {R-Oceanside} speaks at the dedication of Craven Baft last year, ;§

Dr. Bfll Stacy,
Cal State San Marcos president
I n wake of reported comments by s tate Sen. William Craven (R-Oceanside) saying
t hat Latinos should carry identification cards t o prove United States citizenship, t he
Academic S enate l ast week voted unanimously to support removal of t he h is n ame
f rom t he Cal S tate San Marcos administration building.
The decision did not win t he approval oft he Associated S tudents council, however,
which voted 4-3 Gat 28 against supporting t he Academic Senate's initiative.

T he Academic Senate's Oct. 26 vote calls for t he removal of Craven's name f rom
campus premises, including his b ust from t he lobby of Craven HaU and t he r enaming
of campus s treets t hat b ear h is name, according t o t he group's chairman, Dr. George
Biehr. T he 40-member s enate discussed Craven's remarks and their repercussions t o
t he community.
T he debate c enters around Craven's reported comments in t he Oct, 18 edition oft he
San Diego Union-Tribune, in which h e is quoted as saying, "I t hink basically, when
people t alk about it, t hey're t hinking of what I would have to say i n a sort of a n
encompassing sense (is about) Hispanics." T he article stated t hat Craven advocates
t he s tate Legislature's exploration of requiring all Latinos t o carry ZD cards to prove
citizenships While Craven h as denied t hat h e meant t hat only Latinos should carry I D
cards, t he Umon-Tribune h as s tated i t h as his comments on tape,
"No faculty member asserted t hat Craven is a racist,5* Biehr explained about t he
meeting* " That is n ot t he issue. T he problem is t hat h is statements going back several
y ears ( at least t o 1991 when h e called for public school personnel t o report children of
undocumented workers) have been very h urtful t o many people, especially Latinos,
His 'symbols' ~ h is name a nd b u s t a r e connected t o these statements. These
symbols a re reminders t o anyone who sees them of his statements. T hus, they create
a 'hostile workplace,"' I n Match 1903, Craven came under fire f or reportedly s tating
in t he San Diego Umon-Trfbune t hat migrant workers were on a lower scale of
h umanity.
Cid S tate San Marcos' Association of Latino Faculty a nd Staff (LAFS), headed by
B r, Stella Clark, urged university President Br, Bill Stacy t o t ake immediate action t o
rename campus s tructures a fter someone who t ruly reflects t he university's mission
t o promote cultural diversity.
At t he meeting, however, CSUSM Provost Dr. Richard Millman read a l etter
written b y Stacy, i n which h e stated, UI have decided against proposing or advocating
t he renaming ofCraven Hall. S en. Craven h as made enormous historical contributions
to t he founding of CSUSM." I n t he s tatement, Stacy explained t hat t he naming of
Craven Hall does n ot establish Craven a s a spokesman for t he university, nor does i t
imply t hat t he university agrees o r disagrees with h is views on t his o r any other issue,
T hat beliefserved a s t he focal point f or t he Associated S tudents' vote not t o support

T he scholarship will be awarded each y ear t o a r e-entry
woman 30 y ears of age or older who is in good academic s tanding

Becoming information literate...
I n t he last column, we talked
about an information-literate person as being someone who h as t he
ability to locate, retrieve, analyze
and evaluate information. This
know-how applies n ot only t o
knowing how t o do research in t he
library b ut in your everyday life as
well.
Did you know t hat t he number
one means by which people acquire information is by asking
someone they know — usually a
friend? While t his may be useful
for finding a good r estaurant in
t he neighborhood or directions to
t heir house, one can easily imagine s ituations w here a sking a
friend may be inappropriate or
e ven u nethical. F urther, t he
wrong information or "bad advice" could r uin a friendship.
Becoming information literate
is a multistage process. First, you
need to acquire t he ability t o know
when you have an information
need, t hat is when a situation in
your life r equires information.
Second, you need to know where
t o look for t hat information. Do I
need t o contact a government
agency, t alk t o my professor, talk
to a counselor, and/or go t o t he
library? Third is t he process of
retrieval. Today, especially in Cal
S tate San Marcos' library, you
need a modicum of computer lit-
Ut!veJ\U
eracy to retrieve information, or
you may need strong communication skills.
Once you have retrieved your
information, be it from a government official or from a computerized database, you are not done.
You need to analyze and evaluate
t hat information. This can be done
by asking yourself these following
questions: What is my focus? What
do I need t o know? How much
information do I need? Do I need
specialized information? Is t he
author or source qualified? Is t he
source biased? Was t he material
or information edited, censored
or changed in any way? Where
was t he information published or
who h as made i t available? When
was t he information published or
how c urrent is it? Do experts agree
on t he information?
The important thing to remember is to ask questions—ask questions of yourself and of others.
Remember t hat t he only stupid
question is t he one you do not ask!
Becoming information literate can
be a long process, b ut acquiring
t his abilitv can mean t he difference between staying afloat or
drowning in a sea of information.
So become a navigator ; be information literate and explore t he
world of information.

There is nothing worse t han a two-faced
conservative — and t here i sn't any b etter
example of t his t han Michael Huffington.
It was bad enough to see t his man r un
television ads during t he primaries spouting his belieft hat Americans need to r eturn
to "old-fashioned values" while holding
some sort of "book of virtues" in his hand.
J ust how "virtuous" a man is he? I found
out while looking t hrough my mail last
week. Mr. Huffington sent me a very slick,
full-color four-page pamphlet with a red
heading t hat read, "The Feinstein Family
Business. Greed and Special I nterest Politics." "The Feinstein Family Business is a
story of greed and special interest politics,"
it stated. " It shows how career politicians
m anipulate t he system t o place t heir
interests...ahead of yours." I t was full of
some of t he meanest, most h ateful, most
cynical attacks on an opposing candidate I
have ever seen in politics. This i sn't to deny
t hat Dianne Feinstein h as p ut f orth her
share of negative campaigning, b ut "Mr.
Virtues" Huffington h as used his personal
fortune to raise negative campaigning to
new heights.
About t hree weeks ago, "Saturday Night
Live" r an some of i ts own made-up campaign commercials based on some of t he
mudslinging going on around t he country.
One of those commercials was for Michael
Huffington. It showed t he face of Dianne
F einstein, a nd t he a nnouncer s tated,
"Dianne Feinstein doesn't support prayer
in school. Why? Because she's a Jew." After
receiving about five mailers from t his man,
and seeing his incredibly negative commercials, I can actually believe he would produce such a commercial in reality. But
t hat's not all.
Back during t he primaries, Huffington
also portrayed himself as a family man, yet
family seems to mean nothing to him when
it comes to politics. In its Oct. 26 edition,
the San Diego Union-Tribune reported t hat,
"US Senate candidate Michael Huffington,
a fter complaining bitterly t hat his wife has
been attacked unfairly, is airing scathing
new ads accusing Sen. Dianne Feinstein's
husband of profiting from h er votes for
student loans." T hat certainly stirred t he

pot of controversy. But it still didn't end
t here.
The final blow came last week. After
t outing his support for Proposition 187
(which calls for b arring illegal immigrants
from public education and health care services), t he Union-Tribune and other media
reported H uffington's own "nannygate."
"With his US Senate campaign suddenly
consumed in controversy, Rep. Michael
Huffington yesterday defended his sheltering of an illegal immigrant nanny as an act
of love a nd compassion," reported t he
Union-Tribune on Oct. 28. According to
t he article, "The revelation has proven a
major embarrassment to t he Republican
candidate, who h as made a crusade recently of cracking down on illegal immigration. His support of Proposition 187 ... has
become a key element of his campaign."
T he r eport went on to say t hat while
Huffington s tated t hat t he buck stopped
with him, he placed most of t he blame for
t he fowl-up on his wife.
Huffington h as made it a point to tell
people about how Sen. Dianne Feinstein
h as made a career out of politics, despite
t he fact she h as held h er senate seat for
only two years. Huffington himself has
only lived in California for j ust a little
longer t han F einstein's t erm of office.
T here a re definitely two sides to Michael
Huffington, and t hat fact was best summed
u p by a comment he made recently on CBS
Evening News. He said t hat if he is elected,
he will not legislate. He even went so far as
to say t hat " that's w hat congress has been
d oing f or 2 00 y ears." T hat's r ight.
Congress's job is to legislate. So if t hat's not
what he is going to do if h e's elected, why is
he r unning in t he f irst place?

As for t he illegal immigrant issue, California is a great job m arket for their services. This arises from t he fact t hat these

worker sends his children to our public
school or uses free health care, t he burden
is carried by t he taxpayer. In t hat sense, t he
burden is shifted from t he employer, who
pays t he low wage, to t he public taxpayer.
To correct t he imbalance of benefits and
costs, t he $2 gained by t he employer who
hires t he low-wage worker could be taxed
to support t he social costs. I t is proposed
t hat a surtax be levied upon t he employer
for t he difference in pay between the going
rate and lower amount paid. Funds from
the surtax could then support public education, health and welfare which benefit t he
worker.
The issue is not politics. It is economic
justice. To penalize t he worker was forbidden by law 1,500 years BC, and it should
apply today: "Thou shalt not oppress an
hired servant t hat is poor and needy,
whether he be of thy brethren or of thy
strangers t hat are in thy land within thy
gates" (Deuteronomy, 24:14).

The second-floor hallway has even-numbered rooms on both sides, with a few stray
odd-numbered rooms thrown in. However,

ter of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.
One elevator, a t t he north-east corner of
Craven, can only be entered from outside
t he building. On every floor, one steps off
this elevator and walks outside to t he stair
landing and t hen back in through doors
which lead to t he "east and north wings."
On t he fourth, f ifth and sixth floors t he
room numbers get smaller as you move
down t he hallway going east and west.
However, in t he east wing of t he sixth floor
all t he room numbers s tart high and gradually get smaller.
If we take another look at those plans,
we find t hat t he architect or draftsman/
woman must have started numberingrooms
from t he southeast corner of t he building.
If you s tart each floor by coming in a t t hat
entrance — taking t he stairs to each floor
because there is no elevator in this part of
Craven—there is more of a sense of method
r ather t han madness. But you can't get to
the first or second floors from here because
those floors don't have an east wing. In
addition, first-time visitors and new students are not likely to enter through this
"back door."
Again, you might take a front-entrance
elevator to the third floor in hopes of finding t he library on t hat floor since t hat is its
location. You step off t he elevator, step out
into t he hall, and find t hat t he two large
double doors there have signs saying, "Don't
Open, Alarm Will Sound." You can't get
there from here (or a t least you thought you
couldn't until someone p ut a sign up on t he
third, smaller door t hat leads out to t he
library courtyard).
Beverly Stearns, sociology student assistant, says t hat t he plan "makes no sense
whatsoever. The ladies' restroom is clear in
t he other wing. The office windows don't
open, so t here's no access t o cool air and our

The plans show t hat t he "toilets" are
only in t he n orth wing for t he sixth, second
and first floors. They are located in t he
north and east wings for t he f ifth, fourth
and third floors. I t's quicker to go to t he
bathroom by going downstairs from t he
sixth floor of t he east wing to t he f ifth floor
east wing toilets, t han to go from t he east
wing to t he n orth wing of t he sixth floor. If
this all sounds confusing — it is.
History major MarkCavender said t hat
the first time he had to meet with a professor, h e had to ask t hree or four people for
directions.
" It's like a maze," he described. "It was
something new and confusing and took
getting used to. Admissions and Records
opens to Founders Plaza, so it seems more
like t he f irst floor to me," Cavender said,
"though i t's actually on t he f ifth floor."
Founders' Plaza is t he locus onto which t he
other academic buildings open.
Form o ver f unction
"It looks like someone designed t he outside attractively, t hen sort of threw in t he
rooms," Dr. Therese Baker explained. There
is a lack of proper relationship between t he
outside of t he building and t he inside, she
said. "Actually, t here's a disjuncture between t he frame of t he building and its
interior." Everyone has trouble "finding
one's way around — finding rooms." The
real solution intra-departmentally, Baker
said, will be when groups of disciplines can
interact and work more closely together
a fter more buildings are built in t he f uture.
However, t hat won't solve t he problems
inherent in Craven's physical layout itself.
T he s tudents who have been w ith
CSUSM since i ts inception nught have benefited from another orientation with t he
opening of this new building. In t he meantime, visitors and newcomers need personal maps. The maps could s tart with
"you are here" to show visitors where they
entered t he building and include north,
south, east, west arrows. The maps could
show t he room-numbering plan, t he stairs,
all elevators and where t he visitors are on
any given floor in relation to other buildings nearby.
Renumbering t he rooms might also help,
or we could simply resign ourselves to "just
getting used to it." >
Cal State San Marcos was founded on the
principle t hat a respect for cultural and
ethnic diversity is an integral and necessary
part of a complete college education. This
was a somewhat risky chance for the founders
of our university to take. Situated in t he
middle of an extremely conservative region,
CSUSM has always stood out as a kind of
intellectual and cultural oasis in provincial,
reactionary North County. But the school
administration made a difficult choice early
on to weave issues of ethnicity and global
awareness into the core curriculum of the
university, and it has certainly paid off. I, for
one, feel t hat my educational experience
here a t CSUSM has been immeasurably
heightened by the emphasis on cultural diversity. Our campus has become almost a
perfect microcosm of the diverse world outside, only this time we get to start over and
do it all right.
But the outside world can only be shut
out for so long. State Senator William Craven, the man whose name graces our administration building, whose likeness illuminates the front entrance of our campus, the
man whose tireless political support made
the creation of this university possible, has
made another in a series of racist, ignorant
public statements. This is no offhanded comment or racist joke, though; what Craven
has done is no less than advocate the implementation of a pseudo-police state in which
Hispanics would be forced to c any ID cards
at all times.
Craven, whose support was invaluable in
the creation of this university, has taken a
clear public stance against everything this
university stands for. Craven's comments
show no respect for humanity, no respect for
the constitution of the United States, and
certainly not the healthy respect for diversity t hat CSUSM attempts to create in all
students. The fact that Craven is attempting
to use illegal immigration as a hot-button
campaign issue is not in itself surprising;
there is not a savvy politician in the state of
California who hasn't made grandiose statements playing on people's fears and resentments about immigration. But what Craven
has done goes far beyond the realm of mere
inflammatoiy political rhetoric. He has stated
t hat all Hispanics (or, indeed, anyone who
even appears not to have been born in this
country) do not have the right to retain the
civ3 liberties guaranteed them by the United
States constitution. This is racism, pure and
simple, and it has nothingtodo with the very
real problem of illegal immigration.
The Academic Senate recently voted
unanimously to advise t he removal of
Craven's name from t he administration
building. The administration should immediately followsuit. PresidentBill Stacy should
make a public statement deploring Craven's
statement and promising t hat we will accept
no f urther support, political or otherwise,
from a man whose principles are anathema
to our mission statement. CSUSM has so f ar
b een v ery s uccessful a t m aking
multiculturalism a living, viable principle;
this is no time to s tart treating it as empty
rhetoric.

T hat's what t he general public tends
to think when it comes to Sickle Cell
Anemia. I t is t rue t hat t he predominate
carriers are Africans and African Americans, but other ethnic groups are also
carriers.
Sickle cell anemia is a blood disease
which impairs blood circulation and it
currently effects50,000-60,000people in
t he United States. The debilitating nature of the disease can lead to damage to
vital organs such as t he brain, lungs and
kidneys or even death. The lack ofknowledge about sickle cell and/or t he misnomer t hat only blacks have sickle cell have
prevented many non-blacksfromreceiving t he proper medication to limit t he
amount of damage t he disease can cause.
Can I Catch S ickle Cell A nemia
From S omeone Who Has It?
No. Sickle cell disease is inherited. A
child has a 25% change of inheriting t he
disease if both parents have t he sickle
cell t rait. I t is possible t hat a person can
inherit t he sickle cell t rait and live a
healthy life without ever developing t he
disease.
Who Are The Primary Carriers of
S ickle Cell Anemia?
Africans, African Americans, South
a nd C entral Americans, Hispanics,
Greeks, Sicilians, Turks, East Indians,
and Arabians are t he primary carriers
Current statistical information states
t hat one out of three Africans, one out of
375 African Americans, and one out of
30,000 Hispanics, have t he t rait. Compared to one out of ten African American
babies born with t he trait, one out of 180
Hispanics, and one out of 660 Caucasians in t he United States.
What Are S ome Of T he Symptoms Of S ickle Cell Anemia?
Symptoms of sickle cell anemia include painful joints, jaundice, frequent
infections or slow growth patterns. There
can be other medical problems but they
vary with each person.
Is There A Test F or S ickle Cell
Anemia or I t's Trait?
Yes. A blood test called hemoglobin
electrophoresis can now identify people
who have either t he t rait or t he disease.
Currently in 40 states each newborn is
tested for sickle cell anemia (30 states
test all babies including California, and
ten states test only African American
babies).
I s T here A Cure F or S ickle Cell
Anemia?
Although there are many new ideas
which may lead to a cure, there is no
drug or therapy to correct t he disease.
Many of t he symptoms from the disease
can be controlled with medication and
good preventive health care.
Sickle cell anemia is a disease t hat
effects not j ust one group of people. I t is
a health problem t hat with education
and funding can be cured.

ZING WITH G INSENG-AN
ALTERNATIVE TO CAFFEINE
By Amy J. Cubbisott
Contributing Writer
Many people have heard about t he
popular Asian herb ginseng b ut, they
probably don't know about all of t he
magical powers it possesses.
There are several different types of
ginseng. The most widely distributed
and highly acclaimed is Korean cultivated ginseng. There are many inferior types such as Siberian. I t is best to
steer clear from these types because
they are a waste of time and money.
Ginseng is a unique herb which is
m ade u p of c ompounds c alled
ginsenosides. These ginsenosides act
a s hormones and strengthen t he endocrine glands. They a re what give ginseng its unique qualities.
Some reasons ginseng is so popular
is because of its capabilities to act as a
stimulant and a tonic; it can increase
mental alertness, reduce stress, regulate blood pressure, act as an antidiabetic, increase sex drive, and help to
age gracefully. Overall, ginseng's major strengths lie within its ability t o
detoxify and normalize t he body systems.
Ginseng aids in harmonizing t he
body and all of its functions. Unlike
other substances, ginseng is non-toxic and
remains in reserve until needed. I t adapts
to each persons body and is only utilized in
areas where a person is deficient. Ginseng
acts as a stimulant and increases energy.
As an alternative to caffeine, it will not
cause j itters or interfere with a person's
normal sleep.
The benefits of ginseng a re seen a fter
only one dosage b ut serious results don't
surface until a fter six m onths'use. Recommended dosages vary but are listed on t he
individual packages. I t is available in a
array of forms such as drops, raw root,
capsules or tea and can be found in most
health food stores. I t is not inexpensive so
it is best to t ry a sample before purchasing
a larger supply. This enables t he buyer to
decide if t he product benefits him or her
and is worth t he added expense.
The benefits of t his miraculous Asian
herb a re never ending. As f ar as negative
side effects, they are minimal. Ginseng is a
safe, n atural substance. In t he Orient, t he
old and wisefromcenturies past haye been
utilizing ginseng. Maybe t his is t he secret
t hat enables many people in t he Orient t o
become "old" and "wise."

Contributing Writer
On Wednesday a fternoon, Oct. 19, a
young Costa Rican dance g roup called
Merecumbe b rought F ounder's Plaza
t o life with t heir enticing r hythms and
foreign flavor. Merecumbe is a dance
which h as a s trong Afro-Caribbean influence, and t he element of seduction is
one of i ts most salient characteristics.
Sensual movements of t he waist a nd
hips a ccentuate t he dance.
T he event was sponsored by t he
Association ofLatin American S tudents
(ALAS). Claudia Vasquez, p resident of
ALAS, a rranged t he event. Prof. Lionel
Maldonado was acting m aster of ceremonies. When t he d ancers began to
p erform, s tudents a nd s taff alike got
caught u p in t he tropical r hythms of
Merecumbe. T he dancers created a n
a tmosphere all t heir own. With t heir
expressive movements a nd s triking costumes, t he dancers b rought a bout a
flowing m ixture of vivid colors and exotic tropical r hythms.
Over 100 s tudents gathered a round
t o watch t he dancers p erform. Even
s tudents inside Academic Hall looked
out ofwindows in search oft he r hythm's
source.
Although t he a rrangements w ere
m ade a t t he last m inute, Vasquez was
delighted t o b ring t his exotic dance sensation t o t he CSUSM campus. "This is
exactly w hat ALAS is all a bout," said
Vasquez, a nd hopes t o sponsor m any
more events like Merecumbe.

Frederico Fellini, Woody Allen, Robert

a n indelible i mprint on our collective cinematic consciousness.
I t may b e a b it p remature t o a dd
Q uentin T arantino t o t hat list, b ut is t rue
t hat T arantino is doing t he most exciting
a nd impressive cinematic work of t he
1990's.
T arantino's f irst film was Reservoir
Dogs, a h eist story a bout a b and of jewel
thieves unknowingly i nfiltrated by a n u ndercover cop. T he director played with
n arrative s tructure a nd audience sympathies in a n almost l iterary way. And while
t he film was very "cinematic'' in i t's approach, i t was t he juxtaposition of t he
witty, delightful dialogue w ith t he b rutal,
graphic violence t hat gave t he movie i t's
charge. T arantino was i nverting a nd paying homage t o t he crime g enre a t t he same
time, a nd in t he process h e created a
perversely likable film; despite t he fact
t hat t he film contained scenes showing
t he graphic t orture of a policeman, i t was
a very fun move. This may seem irresponsible on t he d irector's p art, b ut i t is n ot.
T arantino is challenging t he audience to
overcome t heir own experience a nd morality; h e is d aring u s t o enjoy ourselves,
a nd h e succeeds.
I n Pulp Fiction, T arantino's newest
film, t he director goes even f urther in
h umanizing t hat which h as traditionally
been dehumanized.
T he film consists of t hree r elated stories, b rought t ogether by circumstance
a nd chance. I n t his sense, t he s tructure of
t he film is very similar t o t he work of
Robert Altman, p articularly last y ear's
b rilliant Short Cuts. B ut while Altman
deals with c haracters on t he f ringes of
m ainstream society, T arantino dives
h eadfirst i nto a n underworld filled with
morally r epugnant people. He does n ot
?4t t&e
By Thomas Lee Huntington
a sk u s t o have sympathy f or t hese characters or t o excuse t heir actions; h e merely
t reats t hem a s r egular, flawed h uman beings a nd c rafts h is intricately plotted stories a round t hem. This may b e inexcusable t o some who see T arantino's r efusal
t o moralize a s a lack of social conscience.
Certainly, t here a re scenes of intensely
graphic violence i n Pulp Fiction t hat a re
t reated a s h umor, as we a re asked t o laugh
a t (among o ther scenes) t he accidental
m urder of young m an when a gun goes off
in a c ar.
B ut we do laugh. And i t is t he f act t hat
T arantino can show t he black h umor of a
b rutal s ituation w ithout forcing t he audience t o abdicate any sense of morality t hat
m akes h is work so b rilliant. Like Sam
Peckinpah or M artin Scorcese, T arantino
is a m aster a t p ortraying violence a s a kind
of cinematic poetry, b ut t hat does n ot
necessarily a mount t o glorification.
T here is certainly a morality t hat guides
t he actions of t he c haracters in h is films,
a nd t hose who defy t hat morality a re p unished or forced t o redeem themselves. T he
lessons a re n ot h anded t o u s; we m ust look
p ast t he sheer visual power of t he violent
images i nto t he deeper philosophical context of t he film t o see w hat T arantino is
doing. But t hat is a r ewarding j ourney.
P utting aside t he intellectual issues
accompanying t he p ortrayal of violence in
film, Pulp Fiction is a b rilliant cinematic
achievement. I t is a visceral and cerebral
p leasure f rom beginning t o end, t hanks in
large p art t o t he inventive n arrative structure, t he s tartling acting a nd t he r emarkable dialogue. J ohn T ravolta a nd Samuel
J ackson p articularly s tand out in a g reat
cast. I t is n ot a film everyone will appreciate, b ut i t is a film t hat anyone i nterested in t ruly inventive a nd original cinema should see.

�CRAVEN,
continued f rom f ront p age
Representative Neil Rombardo,
agreeing with Stacy's statement,
"So j ust remember, he (Craven)
did more for us than anybody else."
Those who support Craven have
credited his legislative work with
g etting Cal S tate San Marcos
started. The student council was
not in total agreement when it
came to supporting Craven, however.
"He did a lot for this campus
here. I'm not denying t hat," explained Bertha Walker, undergraduate representative. "But he
has to be held accountable for what
he says. We can't make t he (CSU)
trustees change t he name of t he
building, b ut we can stand for
something. This group has to stand
u p for what's right. If it pisses off
a few of our friends, then t hat's
t he way it has t o be."
Others attending t he meeting
s aid t hat C raven's w ork t o
j umpstart t he campus was not out
of t he ordinary.
"What a re his contributions
other t han bringing t he bill to t he
(California) senate?" asked audience member Elena. "He was
elected to do j ust t hat anyway, so
what are his great contributions?"
" He's o ffended m e a s a
C hicana," a dded S tephanie
Gonzalez, another member of t he
audience whose parents are p art
of CSUSM's faculty and staff. "No
matter how much he tries to revise what he says, h e said what he
said...Craven did not create t he
educational system."
Despite a rguments a gainst
Craven's reported comments, t he
Associated Students chose not to
support t he Academic Senate,
while approving 5-2 a t t he same
meeting to support t he possibility
of renaming t he Academic Hall to
Cesar E. Chavez Hall in memory
of the late farm workers' union
leader.
Students and faculty have used
several outlets to let their feelings
be known about t he Craven controversy since t he senator's comments were published.
J ust prior t o t he Academic
Senate's meeting Oct. 26, approximately 150 students, faculty and
staff led by CSUSM's MEChA
Latino organization organized a
rally to oppose Craven's remarks,
racism and Prop. 187. Students
from Palomar and Mira Costa colleges also joined t he rally.
"His remarks are dramatically
opposed to t he goals of t he mission
statement to build a supportive
environment for students ofcolor,"
said MEChA VP Gerardo Madera.
On Oct. 21, a group of CSUSM
students, faculty and community
members marched i n f ront of t he
senator's Carlsbad office in protest of his s tatements and to oppose his upcoming reelection.
Tutoring to winHow many times haveyou had
a test or a paper rushing down
t he proverbial pike toward you at
break-neck speed? That test is in
two days and YOU NEED HELP!
This situation calls for a TUTOR!
Knowing t hat time is scarce, you
apprehensively approach t he
doors to t he program t hat provides tutoring and request a tutor. If you are very lucky, you
will get "crash tutoring" t he day
before t he test; worst case, no
tutoring a t all.
T he A.S.P.I.R.E. P rogram
(previously Student Support Services) is seeking to break t he old
molds of "CRUNCH TUTORING" to reposition this helpful
and valuable service as an integral portion of a student's road
toward achieving academic excellence. The goal is to provide
tutoring to t he students in t he
A.S.P.I.R.E. Program throughout t he entirely of each semester. "Rather t han waiting until
t he last minute when stress levels are a t boiling point to utilize
t utoring, a s tudent will have
worked t he entire semester with
a t utor for a particular course,
heading off'crunch times' before
t hat stress sets in," says Heidi
Fisher, Learning Specialist and
t utor for t he A.S.P.I.R.E. program.
This new approach t o tutoring has i ts demands, however,
and quality t utors are key. "Our
program has a rigorous t utor interview process, t raining program and evaluation process as a
result of t his model of operation.
Heidi explains, "We look for students on campus who excel in
their field and are recommended
by faculty within t hat field."
"As a t utor, my grades improved because I was able to think
more critically about my own approach t o studying," says Heidi.
Each t utor is closely supervised
by an A.S.P.I.R.E. Learning Specialist. Any issues or concerns
t hat arise during a tutoring session will be addressed and rectified by t he student, t he t utor and
a Learning Specialist. The support within t he program is further grounded by t he Director,
Calvin One Deer Gavin, who offers hands-on insight and problem-solving skills t hroughout
every aspect of t he A.S.P.I.R.E.
Program. "The support ofothers
in t he program is key to t he success of this tutoring model. Ongoing training on personal interaction a nd p edagogical a pproaches is also necessary," Heidi
explains.
If you a re interested in tutoring for t he A.S.P.I.R.E. Program
on campus, please call Heidi
Fisher a t 752-4014 or stop by t he
A.S.P.I.R.E. Program Center at
CRA1258.
