Montoya's recall election postponed
Scott A.'Carter
Staff writer
\
After three postponements, the
Associated Students Incorporated (ASI)
Election Committee has set March 17 and
18 as the dates for the recall election of ASI
President Andres Montoya.
The effort to recall Montoya began last
December when CSUF students Brooks
Reed and Craig Rose circulated a petition
and gathered thel,000 signatures required
to necessitate a special election.
-Rose's and Brooks' efforts grew out of
controversy generated by Montoya's
defense of a "Go home Whitey" sign
displayed in the Free Speech Area on
Columbus Day.
Kathy Nieto, Elections Committee Chair,
said the last decision to postpone the
election was to help Montoya prepare for
the recall.
Nieto said the original date was set for
late February but there was nobody to run
the election. i ' ' 4
"Historically the League of Women
Voters (LWV) has done the election," Nieto
said.
Nieto said after the first postponement,
Student Affairs offered to help with the
election, but was turned down by a
unanimous vote of the election committee.
"Members of the committee did not like
the idea of Student Affairs running the
election/ said Nieto.
Nieto said the date was then changed to
March 2 and 3 after the LWV agreed to
oversee the election.
However, Nieto said the election code
allows for a week of preparation on behalf
of the officer getting recalled.
The date was moved to March 17 and
18 to give everybody time," said Nieto.
The election will be run the same as a
general election.

Cultures

The Satellite Student Union was alive
with color and tradition last night in an
effort to bring all of the Southeast Asian
communities together and create an aware¬
ness of Southeast Asian culture on campus
as part of Amerasia Week.
Last night's program, entitled "South¬
east Asian Culture Night Many Faces of
Southeast Asia" consisted of traditional
dances and musk of the Cambodian,
Hmong, Laotian and Vietnamese cultures.
The Mien students were also scheduled
to perform, but they cancelled at the last
minute because of lack of participation in
their group. ^
Co-master of ceremonies Wendy Tran
said the evening is the result of each com¬
munity pulling together to create, more
awareness of Southeast Asian culture.
To an untrained eye we all look alike
and people lump us togetherasone group-
Southeast Asians; they don't realize tfiat
we are all different cultures," Tran said.
"On this stage you will see the many
cultures and the many faces that make up
Southeast Asia," she said.
Katsuyo Howard, coordinator of South¬
east Asian Student Services, said the stu¬
dents from each group worked hard to
make the event possible.
"It's really hard to get them to come
together," Howard said. "Thesecommuni¬
ties have been enemies since 1975 (because
of political strife in their countries).
"This is a beautiful thing that's happen¬
ing here," she said.

"The ru^es for a special election are ill-
defined," she said.
Instead of making their own rules for an
election, the committee decided to use the
general election format.
If Montoya is recalled, Legislative Vice
President Nicole Kasabian will move into
the office of president.
There has been some concern over
Kasabiafrt's role in the election.
"Originally I was supposed to set the
date for the recall," Kasabian said.

Sexual

Sir Kenneth Dover, Chancellor of'St.,
i-w.drews University inScotland,tooka full
house audience on a journey back in time
from 400 to 600 ^3.G to examine some
attitudes toward sex in his lecture, "Greek •
Attitudes to Sex; Sexuality and Popular
Morality in Ancient Greece" at the Alice
Peters Auditorium Friday night.
Dover said sexuality then was very
different from the way we think of it today.
During that time sexual arousal was caused
_by the beauty of an individual and not by
gender. If a male adult saw a pretty girl and
a handsomeboy, each one would be equally
stimulating, he said. j
Attitudes toward homosexuality and
bisexuality were also discussed. '
Around 600 B.C. homosexuality and
bisexuality among males and females
emerged in society. Male homosexuality
was revealed more openly than female
homosexuality, which began to revert into
secrecy, Dover said.
Homosexuality among males was
dominated by seniors.
The younger male was the sex object of
the older male," Dover said.
Dover said a bearded male could be
attracted to a beardless male. An adult
bearded male could desire a younger boy,
adult male or female. A younger bearded
male, however, could not desire a bearded
male or any other male—it was always the
older male who desired the younger, he
said.
Dover said that in Greek society the
older male represents a model for the
