people of color have moved forward considerably in these areas. Therefore, this [inequality] is due to ongoing discrimination despite
laws banning it.
Question:
Some critics argue that the Civil Rights Act Initiative is
an attack on women's rights. Would you
agree ? How do you explain that a great
number of white women support CCRI?
It is clearly an attack
on the women's struggle for equality in our
society. It is also one of the curious features of
gender oppression that its victims are so unaware of their low status thereby so uncommitted to their own struggle. It has also been
a historic ploy to call upon the racism of white
women for the purpose of maintaining a white
male power system. Nevertheless, white
women have been the primary beneficiaries of
affirmative action and therefore stand to lose
the most by the passage of something mistakenly referred to as the "color blind initiative".
White women should realize that there is a
potentially strong ally among people of color
in the struggle for equality. For example, the
major male leader present at the First Women's
Rights convention in this country was
Frederick Douglas an ex-slave, Black man.
Therefore, I urge white women to come together with us to fight this initiative.
Question:
What exactly does
this initiative represents politically?
Answer:
This initiative is part of
a broader agenda that in California has included: de-funding education, huge build up
of the present system, passage of proposition
187, three strikes you're out . 'An agenda
which clearly says to people of color you don't
belong'. If people want to be so a historical as
to believe that we have ever had a meritocracy,
I urge them to consider why do we repeatedly
enact legislation banning race and gender
discrimination? We continue to live in a segregated society some would call it apartheid.
SHOULD THE CCRI PASS?
Some students on campus responded to the question.
Andrew Dasinger
Business Major
"I Think CCRI should pass.
People are being hired just
because they are Black, Hispanic orfitthe quota. The job
should go to the best qualified
applicant."
Michael Todd
Business Major
Eileen Whyte
Liberal Studies
I don't think this initiative if
passed would be beneficial to
anyone. I believein diversification. Minorities are not giving a chance."
"I don't believe the elimination of quotas is the answer.
Perhaps, there is a need to redefine its purpose".
Alejandra Amatulli
Liberal Studies
1 believe this initiative goes
beyond racism; its an attack
on women. It is a desperate
effort on the part of men to
undermine women. Men have
realized the power women can
potentially have, and feel
threatened by it".

Social Science Major
"I believe putting this initiative on
the ballot would only send us back
to the 1950's. We have made a lot of
progress thanks to affirmative action; without it not only minorities
would be affected but women as
well".

Accounting Major

I fully support the CCRI because affirmative action has
served its purpose. People
should be measured on their
individual merits".

College Students Needed
by Aimee LePore
I decided in my first year of
college t hat I was going to be find
out what I enjoyed doing and somehow turn it into a career. I knew
t hat I liked helping people and I
also liked working under challenging conditions, so one day I called
the Red Cross and scheduled an
interview to become a diaster volunteer. The first thing I was asked
to do was to sign up for a free
"Introduction to Diaster Services"
class so I could learn about all the
different djobs that people volunteer to work during diasters. The
Red Cross has over 22 volunteer
positions that people can specialize
in from surveying damage, feeding
people, setting up shelters, tto answering phones and working in a
supply warehouse—all part of the
overall relief effort during disasters.
When I arrived at Class, the
Disaster Director told us that our
instructor would be a little late because she was up all night helping
out on a fire and that she had not
had a chance to eat yet. As the
Director went on to explain how the
Red Cross responds to fires and
helps with the emergency needs of
the fire victims, I was instantly
fascinated. All through the class I
was so excited about finding my
nitch that during the break, I asked
the instructor if I could sign up to
be an intern in the disaster services department.
So began my volunteer career at
the Red Cross. In the coming
months I took free training classes
in almost everything the Red Cross
hasd to Offer. During my first
month in disaster services, the
Guejito brush fires struck the North
County and the Red Cross opened
its Emergency Operations Center.
I was asked if I was willing to go to
a Temporary Evacuation Point in
Romona to relieve some of the disaster volunteers who had worked
long hours feeding, sheltering and
caring for area residents who were
evacuated due to the fire. Off I
went to Ramona where I spent the
night.
I began Going to the disaster
department on adaily basis after
school. I became heavily involved
in working on a handbook for new
disaster volunteers coming into the
system and I soon 1 moved into a
set volunteer staff position in volunteer development. I assisted with
recruiting, maintaining, training,
and counseling volunteers through
their training. I also became an
instructor of disaster classes and
attended a Southern California
Disaster Institute in the Summer
of 1994.
In addition to helping with the
fires that occur on a daily basis in
San Diego County, I have been
there to help the Red Cross with
staffing and mass feeding whenever there has been a large disaster in our area. I am also qualified
to work on national d isasters
throughout the U. S. and nearly
went to Georgia this past summer
to help with the flood relief effort in
the Southeastern states.
Anyone interested in learning
more about the Red Cross disaster
services program can contact Leona
Bielefeld at the Red Cross at 2912620x606. For all other volunteer
opportunities contact the Human
Resources Department at x211.
A long w ith p roviding a
spanish-oly setting, t he program
offers an element of community
t hat transcends age, race and
language. This community atmosphere was a catalyst for a
comfortable l earning
enviroment. After arriving on Friday, t he
group enjoyed a potluck dinner followed by
workshops in Spanish
music and grammar.
Saturday, a fter breakfast and more workshops, t he group a te
l unch a nd p layed
games a t t he beach. Ater r eturning, t he group learned to dance
salsa style from a professional
dance instructor. The participants t hen had their choice
of many activities including, a ttending a spanish
catholic mass, wathching
movies in spanish, ofcourse,
and creating material for
t he impromptu t heatre presentations, creating a f un
time. Saturday closed with
a game of spanish charades.

we'll forgo the commentary on current events. But to give you an idea

government. The electorate clearly
embraced conservatism while rejecting the misguided values of liberals,

McGoverniksl - N.G. of Atlanta
Nice try N.G., but isn't there a
little irony in your attempt at making liberals look evil by evoking the
name of a man who lost the 1972 bid
for the presidency to an individual
who is remembered for his complicity in nearly throwing our nation
into a bigger constitutional crisis than
any scheming counter-culturalist
could have dreamed of?
Had the counter-culture yielded
in the 60s, we might still be stuck in
the quagmire of Southeast Asia convinced that a technowar victory was
imminent; had it not decided to make
waves in the 702s, we may have witnessed the suspension of the constitution to protect a corrupt president;
and its idleness in the 80s may have
granted defacto authorization for any
two-bit military officer tb set foreign
policy!
We may not be as fortunate in the
future. Whatever the outcome, all
we can hope is that counter-cultural

the radio; the phone; or the obnoxious, pompous, overweight program
host providing an endless
pontification of the virtues of the new
trend towards conservatism that was
manifested by November's election
results. We've replaced the radio
with this publication; the phone with
e-mail (or letters); and the host with
an equally obnoxious, pompous, but
rather scrawny columnist who is in
search of disagreement and not "dit-.

Beginning with our next issue,
the format will remain consistent.
The column will begin with a brief
(but opinionated) commentary on
current events involving ideas, policies, or remarks made by national,
state, or local politicians from either
side of the political spectrum. The
remainder of the column will consist
of choice tidbits from letters or e-mail
POTSHOTS addressed to this columnist along with a return volley at
the originator.

�Health In Cyber Space
by Dr. Joel Grinolds
Although I have not logged on, the nation's on-line computer services
are apparently now beingfloodedby user groups and bulletin boards
providing an abundance of health information. According to a recent
study by the Tufts University Diet and Nutrition Letter Staff, much of
the advice in the health bulletin boards is a "veritable minefield of
misstatements, half-truths and downright falsehoods."
Some say it is as it has been in the past "the consumer beware." At
this time there is no agency responsible for the scientific accuracy of the
content. A number of the bulletin boards were established by reputable
organizations such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and provide
qualified professionals to supervise them. No one would doubt the value
of
some of these types of services, especially for people who may have
limited mobility or circumstances that limit their ability to access
information outside their home.
However, in an another study by Dr. John H. Renner, the Director of
the Consumer Health Information Research Institute which monitors
health fraud, multiple situations were found with scientifically unproven products and misinformation. This scenario was most often seen
with bulletin boards set up for people with HIV disease, cancer and
obesity. He states "it now takes a few seconds to spread misinformation
faster and farther than we ever knew."
There is no doubt some useful information and support occur with he online health bulletin boards but I would argue it should not substitute for
health advice offered by ones own trusted medical professionals including physicians, nurse practitioners, nutritionists etc.
At Student Health Services we feel a well informed patient/consumer
is essential in the environment of providing quality primary and
preventive health care. We have a vast array of health information
available. All you have to do is ask. We are located at Craven Hall 1300

to April 14. H ie exhibit, entitled Birthing
the Crone: Menopause and Aging through
an Artist's Eyes, is a series of self portraits which explore t he deeply personal
process of aging. As she addresses t he
negativity and f ear of our c ulture toward
menopause, aging, and d eath, she reclaims t he role of t he a rtist a s s haman,
healer, and educator. The "Crone" she is

woman, mother, and grandmother with
t he collective wisdom of women in word
and image. Through informed literary,
h ealth and feminist references, coupled
with energetic color and p enetrating image, Ms. Redman r eframes "The Change"
a s a n immensely creative and s piritual
time. A reception for t he a rtist will follow
a t 1 p.m.
Ms. Redman h as h ad over 30 oneperson shows a s well a s numerous j uried
and invitational shows throughout t he
United S tates and abroad. Her work h as

"Latin Film Festival"
by Claudia M. Acosta-Vasquez
The Association ofLatin American Students (A.L. A.S.) is holding its First annual
Festival which began on February 9th and runs thru April 30, 1995. The three
months' festival includes weekly evenihg screenings with introduction and post film
discussions on Latin films.
'The purpose ofthe festival is to educate the public about Latin American culture",
explains Joan Schoenleber, vice-president of A. L. A. S.
Faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences lecture on the setting,
social or political aspect of the films. Professors from the Departments of Literature
, Foreign Language, Ethnic Studies, Performing Arts and Social Sciences collaborate in the festival producing an educational and cultural event that transcends the
classroom setting. Dean Victor Rocha welcomed the film festival during its first
screening, Belle Epoque (Spain), introduced Dr. Francisco Martin. Dr. Martin is
professor of Spanish Literature, and a native of Spain is the faculty advisor to A. L.
A. S.
The Association of Latin American Students founded last semester by three
female students form Nicaragua, Panama and Chile. They began sponsoring
cultural activities last October, when a Merecumbe dance form Costa Rica swung
tropical rhythms on Fonder* s Plaza. The Association is currently Planning a "Latin
Night" on campus which would include a show and a salsa music dance. Their goal
is to promote and preserve the Latin American culture through the Arts.

University Honors is Distinct

unique honors program. Students
agree to do work above and beyond t he regular coursework in
an honors project in five classes,
enroll in t he honors seminars
course (Honors 400), maintain a
GPA of 3.2 in coursework a t
CSUSM and fulfill t he community service requirement. As t he
policies and procedures for t he
Honors Program s tates, "Students who accumulate 12 or more
Honors credits, who complete t he
University Honors Seminar, and
who document meaningful community service may then qualify
for University Honors a t graduation. Completion of t he University Honors P rogram will be
explicityly noted on t he Student's
diploma and transcript." This
Recognition is distinct from t he
common commencement honors
recognition based soley on GPA
(summa cum laude, magna cum
laude, and cum laude; with highest honors, with high honors and
with honors, respectively). For
example, a student may graduate with summa cum laude and
with University Honors, if he/
she completed t he Honors Program a s well as earned a high
GPA.
