Letters to the Editor
~'V~f
• Thanks for support
. Editor.
On. Nov. 2 and 3 the United
Black Students of Central
California, a high school
organization, held their annual
regional conference here in Fresno
at the Holiday Inn. CSUF was asked
to participate In a portion of the
conference dealing "with college
organizations and ) Outreach
services. /!
I would like to thank - all my
brothers and sisters who took time
out of their busy schedules to come
and participate in such a worthy
project: the education of the next
generation. The African American
organisations at CSUF were richly
represented by Intelligent and
articulate members.
Together we showed a united
front and reinforced the need for
education at all levels. Special
thanks to Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity
(for showing them how to do it
right), Mr. Sam Boyd (for conceiving
the idea), and Mr. Angulus Wilson
>—" (forgetting the message across in a
way they really could relate to).
• Remember, it is our time. It's our
.' - .- turn, and it/s everbody*s future.

Human March
Editor.
This letter is written to Inform the
campus community of the "Human
March" that will take place Nov. 7
on our campus.
The march will begin at 11 a.m. in
the Free Speech Area. We will march
throughout the campus and return
to the Free Speech Area by noon.
The purpose of the march Is to
demonstrate that we. as a
community, are sick of the
dlscrtrnlnatlon that is taking place
in our society.
It Is to show that we are sick of the
racism, sexism, homophobia and
facto that is all too apparent on
our campus and our society asweD.
We are marching to show that such
sickness will no longer be tolerated
amongst ourselves. It will also be an
opportunity for people to peacefully
express themselves while sending a
powerful message to our university
administration that we are saving
no to discrimination.
I feel that if we students get the
ball rolling and start saying no to
racial intolerance then the
administration will have no choice
but to follow suit as well Perhaps
we can put an end to that Ignorance
called racism.

S.R. Caudle
The Nov. 1 open forum,
sponsored by The President's Task
Force on Racism, Sexism and
Homophobia, was standing room
only and representatives from
Greek societies and other campus
organizations had comments. -
Those who spoke were generally
from two groups — those whol.had
to deal with prejudice and .
discrimination on campus and.
those who previously had been
unaware of the prejudice and
discrimination that other students
face. /
At the forum, students
expressed their frustration with
trying to identify those who are
behind the circulation of hate
'literature. Others were advocating
a school policy which would '
sanction people responsible for
defamatory material. The Task
Force is seeking legal advice about
avenues that could be used to
restrict certain types of speech:
however, the prior restraint of
speech issue is a difficult one.
A person's speech can be
stopped if{hetrspeech'constitutes
a "clear and present danger." Or if
one person's speech slanders
another, the-other can sue for
damages. But generally a person
cannot be stopped before they
speak in an open forum because
of a fear that their speech may not
be acceptable.
I say we need to go further than
demanding action from the
administration. We must look
beyond the Institution in dealing
with this threat to the emotional
and physical well-being of our
brother and sister students. Why
should we wait passively for
"those in charge* to do
something?
We do have power. In my
opinion, the overwhelming
majority of CSUF students
support the right of all students to
feel safe and secure and respected
on this campus. We arc all
members of this university — a
place where differences are aired
to intellectual debate and not by
way of personal attacks or
unsolicited hate mall.
In most cases, the parties that
are responsible for defamatory
material such as this are acting
out of feelings of fear and
inferiority. In order to make
themselves feel more powerful,
they must dehumanize another
person, or group of persons, who
are different from themselves,
We. the overwhelming majority
of the student body and faculty
who are mature, intelligent/,
sensitive, educated and
undcrstandinr^human beings.
rieed td present a urdled-lrbnt '
against the ugly bigotry of those
who would threaten.the emotional
or physical well-being of other
* CSUF students with anonymous
attacks based on race, sex or
sexual orientation.
We, each, individually, have the
power to state our position. Join
me in wearing a green ribbon to
signify the fact that we stand
together on this campus against
prejudice and discrimination —
CSUF says no! to prejudice and
discrimination.
