Neanderthals back on top
Manny Fernandez -
Staff writer
A compromise has been reached in the
on-going controversy surround ing the Jan.
31 Dodge-MTV Campus Bash.
The Neanderthals have been reinstated
as the winner of the competition after being
disqualified last week due to an eligibility
rule. Black Fry, who was declared the
winner after the disqualification of the
Neanderthals, has been awarded second
place.
However, both bands will advance to
the next level of the Bash competition. The
decision to allow both bands to advance
came late Friday evening from the National
Media Group, the public relations f i rm t ha t
handled the competition.
"The decision to disqualify the
Neanderthals was made by a rule that
doesn't even exist," Ben Medrano, guitarist
for the Neanderthals said. The
Neanderthals were disqualified when two
friends of the band jumped on stage without
the group's prior knowledge.
The old decision wasn't fair," Donny
Marvin, the Neanderthals' drummer, said.
"To get it taken away really sucked. We
just wanted to get it back to where it was."
„ ^Videotapes of the Neanderthals',and
Black Fry's concert performance are now
being sent to New York, where they will be
judged against other tapes from around the
western region.
Four bands will be jchosen from this

A plethora of students line up to add or drop classes by the 4 p.m. deadline on Friday afternoon. The add/
drop period, shortened last semester from fo ur weeks to two weeks by the Academic Senate, was met with
opposition. Some students thought that two weeks was not enough time to add or drop classes.
Administrators favored the change because It would minimize availability of classes. ^

■ conunuraty* service and to promote unity
and friend ship among college women.
» "It is important for women to face the
challenge of work in the year 2000,
especially minority women," Williams said.

History has sno wn a world full of wars
and atrocities and there are few signs of
progress. The reason, according to Walter
Ensslin, retired professor and director of
CSUFs Schweitzer Circle, is that the world
has traditionally been run by men.
The Circle, a group which convenes on
campusevery two months to discuss issues
of peace, met Sunday in the Music Building
to address the topic "Women and Peace."
"To warrant peace, preferably on the
international scene; we may have to rely
upon those time-honored qualities which
could be called typical female traits and
features as opposed to the typical male
faculties and skills," Ensslin wrote in a
memo to the campus community.
"History also teaches that the destinies
of all countries had been decided by male
rulers, male warriors, male map-drawers
and profit collectors.
"Even in cases where women exerted a
noticeble influence, it has been the male
hand which signed declarations of war;
orders to send millions to the battlefields.
''Women had, until in the most recent
history, not that 'equality with men' to
enable them to decide over war or peace,"
Ensslin said. • ,
Ensslin said the differences in male and
female behavior were obvious since the
beginning of man's existence.
He said early man, being a hunter and
gatherer, had to develop aggressive and
violent behavior in order to survive.
Women had to become care-takers of the
home and nurturers of the family.
"Woman had to become the life-
preserver, not the life-destroyer; violence is
not in their nature " Ensslin said.
Ensslin said that because of those
