Liven up your
Valentine's Day
•Feb. 14 can
he fun for day
of love or lust
By Debbie Richards
Staff Writer of The Collegian
Call it one of the trashiest, crass¬
est, most banal of holidays. If you
like. Call it, if you like, romantic,
amorous, or (for the literarily
romantic types) quixotic.
Whatever the name you choose
to give Valentine's Day, the reality
is that it arrives year after year, in
recession or renewal, in war or
peace, in love or lust. And, dear
lads and ladies, it's here today.
For those who wish to favor their
beloved one with a gift or two,
Penny Candy (the last bastion of
truly   unusual
wishes together with a roll of pen¬
nies at the water fountain.
For thediletantes in the student
community, "All About Love: An
Evening of Short Plays" will run
tonight, tomorrow night, and Fri¬
day at 8 p.m. each evening at the
Unitarian Universalist Church. The
play will explore intimate adult re¬
lationships, and will be brought to
life by local directors, actors and
musicians.
Okay, Okay. It's understood.
You would rather curl up cozily in
your G-string and watch a good
movie or listen to some romantic
music. Two unique and inspiring
choices await you.
A clerk at Tower Records sug¬
gests "anything Billy Joel ever
wrote" as his choice for unusual or
weird love songs. For something
more normal, he suggests Perry
Como.

Valentine's Day
this year.
The store has
the usual sus¬
pects: cherry red candy pants, ed¬
ible bras, women's lingerie, heart
T-shirts, and anatomically-correct
suckers and candy.
But, for the wild at heart and
brave of body, Penny Candv offers
red condoms and red vibrators,

in the age of AIDS?
Once you have the accoutre¬
ments, all you need is the action.
David Olsen, the author of "2000+
Creative Dates", suggests a few
date ideas for poor students, in¬
cluding:
• Attack your date's belly but¬
ton with a vacuum hose.
• Make blow fishes to each other
on opposite sides of a window.
• Watch TV with the sound off
and make up your own dialogue
for the action on the screen.
• See who can make the funniest
faces or body movements.
• And, to give yet more money
to this institution of higher learn¬
ing, you and your date can make

Pulpit may be pulled
•Complaints against preacher gain attention
By Debbie Speer
Collegian News Editor
The Rev. Jim Gilles, the flamboy-
antpreacherwhomanaged to raise
the hackles of around 150 CSUF
students in the Free Speech area
Tuesday, is expected to give an
encore performance in the same
location today.
But he may have some audience
members that didn't catch his act
the first time: the University Po¬
lice.
Because of numerous com plaints
about the content of the fiery
minister's three-hour "sermon,"
the police have been asked to en¬
force a statewide policy restricting
speech that is "harmful to a person
or group, advocates violence
against a person or group, or in¬
cites other people to commit vio¬
lence," said CSUF Lt, Steven King.
Among other things, Cilles re¬
peatedly referred to lesbians and
gays in general, and individuals in
the audience as "queers." He also
suggested people write to Presi¬
dent Bush, Vice President Dan
Quayle,Gov. Pete Wilson and state
senators and assembly members
to  "demand  a  constitutional
amendment calling for the public
execution of all homosexuals."
He also suggested that CSUF
women "wanted to be raped,"
because "they dress immodestly."
Caren Thomas, an Associated
Students Inc. senator, was one of
the students who complained to
campus police.
'There was a woman in the Free
Speech area wearing rights and
[Cilles] called her a 'whore.'Thafs
degrading to women and that re¬
ally pissed me off," Thomas said.
Lt. King said many of Gilles'
statements Tuesday could fall
under theclassification of "verbal
hate crimes."
"You can't just goaround telling
people that they should stare at,
leer, or follow people around in
order to harrass them, or say 'I'm
going to kill you,'" King said.
Heemphasized thatGillescould
be removed from campus if he
persists with similar statements
today.
Cilles announced Tuesday he
would return to CSUF Wednesday
and today. He was stopped Wed¬
nesday by police when hemadean
attempt to speak in the FreeSpeech
area despite the fact that several
African-American fraternities had
set up an informational display at
the same site.
King said Gilles was stopped and
asked to go to the campus police
station, where Police Chief Wil¬
liam Anderson talked with him at
length about the nature and con¬
tent of Tuesday's speech.
King said Gilles informed An¬
derson that part of the purpose of
his sermons is to test free speech
Cilles told a student Tuesday that
he was invited on campus by "the
Constitudon."
Steve Mortensen, University
Student Union directoy, said while
no one is absolutely required to
obtain a permi t to speak in the Free
Speech area, someone without a
permi t must yield to any person or
group who has obtained a permit
to use the area at the same time.
Mortensen added thatGilles had
not obtained such a permit to speak
Wednesday, but has requested one
from the USU to speak today. He
said that as far as he knew, Gilles
acted on his own behalf and was
not invited by any CSUF organiza¬
tion.
Gilles is expected to speak from
noon until 5 p.m. today. He has
announced his topic will be "the
role of women in society."
Castelli: Power struggle over A VP aide continues
Continued from page 1
tionally the AVP has hired his own aide
and that, therefore, meant Castelli had the
power to hire an aide for himself.
"Daves is not following procedure," said
Castelli. "I hi ■ th AVP aide Thafs com¬
mon sense and precedence.
Since the controversy arose in October,
notmuchhaschangedintheASI offices. In
March thatmaychange,however,because
the money budgeted to pay the AVP aides
will run out
ASI accountant Patricia Work said the
budget allows for one AVP aide to be paid
$250 per month for eight to nine months.
Becausedouble that amount has been paid
outeach month, themoney is qutcklybeing
depleted .
Legislative Vice President Stacey Green
said one of the problems with the payment
of the aides is that Work is paying the stu¬
dent assistant vouchers for Majarian with
only one signature — even though two sig¬
natures are required for vouchers to be paid.
"There needs to be two executive signa¬
tures," Green said. "The vouchers aiu going
in with only one signature, but the account¬
ant is paying them [anyway]."
Because both of the aides have been get¬
ting paid, the budgef s "very tight" Green
said.
Castelli said Najarian works about 42
hours a month. Hesaid he is unsure of how
many hours Rodriguez works. Hesaid he re¬
fuses to sign Rodriguez' vouchers because
he doesn't recognize Rodriguez as his aide.
Daves and Green have asked President
Harold Haak to look into the procedures
Work is following to make sure she is fol¬
lowing ASI policy.
Green said she and Daves have been
meeting with ASI adviserJa mes Aldredge to
try and mete out a solution. She said they
had initially tried to get together and solve
the problem with Castelli.
"We've tried everything to resolve tnc
matter," Green said.
Castelli maintains that he has also tried to
get the matter resolved to everyone's satis¬
faction, but that was incompatible with the
politics of Daves and Green.
"The student population should be out¬
raged," he said. "]The student government]
is not doing what it says it does."
The university administration has consis¬
tently refused to get involved in the matter,
arguing that since the ASI is run exclusively
by students, it isa student ma iter only.
"There has been no interference by the
admnistration," said Castelli.
Green agreed, but says that Castelli has
approached university officials several
rimes asking for help.
"The administration says that this is a
student matter and that it should be dealt
with in-house," she said. "Castelli ap¬
proached the administration... [and] ulti¬
mately we're going to suffer from that."
Green said she is com milted to making
sure that procedures are followed correctly
and equitably.
"We have to make sure people are ac¬
countable to policy and procedure," Green
said. "We have no interest in attacking
Tony or Nishan. The issue is proper proce¬
dure and protocol. We're accountable to
that."
