News. The CoUegian • March 6, 1991 Z SRG: Members dispute over ideologies Continued from page 1 months that the voices of the communities have been stifled. and in order to progress and pro¬ ceed Unity-SRC needed to go back to the communities. So we had a meeting, and one of the primary objectives of the meeting was to reaffirm the commitment of the communities to the coalition," senator Cyndi McCollister said "One of the things that hap¬ pened was Karen Cogley and Jose Lopez showed up at this meeting and it was felt by a number of members of the coalition thatthey do not represent the community, and they only represent their own ideology and work counter to the coalition," McCollister said. According to Lopez, "If this was truly a Unity-SRG mecbng, no people who came would ha ve been excluded. It was not a real meet¬ ing. By excluding us, they ex¬ cluded the entire Chicano, Afri¬ can-American, gay, lesbian, Na¬ tive American and women's communities." Avitia e xplained that al¬ though Daves, Creenand Thomas wereasked to leave the meetingas well, only Cogley and Lopez were targeted for expulsion from the party. "1 personally didn't mind Don and Stacey being there. My reser¬ vation lies with Karen and Jose," A vida said. 'They came as a group, and it was obvious they had planned to come as a group. I only thoughtit right that I ask them to leave as a group." According to A vi ba and McCol¬ lister, wh# said they wereasked to speakonbehalfof Unity-SRG, the coalition believed thatCogleyand Lopez were too often acting uni¬ laterally on issues in the name of Unity-SRC. "Other people were being left out of the decision-making proc¬ ess. Karen and Jose were making decisions for the entire group," Tax: student help available Continued from page 1 The table will be staffed by two students at a time, each of whom underwent 24 hours ot IRS training in January. Rochelle Hopper, anaccount- ing major and member of Beta Alpha Psi, is one of about a dozen people whoa ttended the training sessions. The IRS gave out manuals which included pertinent information and shared previous experiences "The book is more thcorv," she said. "They (the IRS train¬ ers) gave us more practical advice." They were not trained to do the more complicated things, said Hopper, "because we would probably do [them] wrong." Some things were empha¬ sized because questions would likely come up. For example, renterstredit was discussed at length because most CSUF stu¬ dents live in apartments. The students arc trained to handle thc three federal 1040 forms and the California 540A form primarily. Although those with schedules A and C forms can also be assisted, if they are very simple. "We don't want people com¬ ing to them with complicated things," Crane said. "You have to understand that they're not trained to do that." The students have access to an IRS phone number that the general public does not have, so if questions arise they can be an¬ swered. "They are going to take the information at face value. Thev are not responsible to audit," said Crane.'They can't do that." 'This gives the students a good opportunity to put into practice what they've been learning and provide a valu¬ able service to thecommunity." she said. "For us (the accounting stu¬ dents) the benefit is learning to work with people and learning more abou t income tax forms. 11 iskind oflikeworkexperience," Hopper said. "That's really good." A lot oi people have been using thc service so far, she added. "1 think the library is a good place to have it. It is con¬ venient." McCollister said. One of those decisions ap¬ parently included a controversial anti-war resolution rejected Feb 26bv the ASI Senate. "We at Unity-SRC were not even informedas members that Jose was going to present that resolution. We were not even in¬ formed it was Jose's resolution. Some of us who didn't support it, didn't support it for our own rea¬ sons. "One thing is we weren't even told about it. If supposedly we're all working together, and we're going to stick our necks out for this resolution, we should at least know about it," Avitia said. Lopez insists they did. "That resolution wasdiscu&sed for three hours at the I ASI Senate] meeting. It was in all the mail¬ boxes long before that. I was not the only one who wrote that reso- lution; several others from SRC. worked on it as well," Lopez said. He added the resolution was Hours.
