remains a concern
By Mike Palmer
Staff writer
Quiet and cahn at Tuesday's Associated
Students, Inc. Senate meeting provided a
stark contrast to the previous week's meet¬
ing as Chris Volkerts, a senior sociology
major, was appointed to the CSUF Aca¬
demic Senate with only one objection.
Absent from yesterday' s meeti ng was one
of last week's protagonists. ASI President
Marci C. Demings.
Sen. Larry K. Houghtby still questioned
why Volkerts had kept'important educa¬
tional materials for three and one-half
months, prompting a terse letter from CSUF
Vice President for Academic Affairs J.
Leonard Salazar, but other senators were
satisfied with Volkerts' explanation.
Volkerts was the only student applicant
-•tor the^o-ye^ppsjtieiv There were no
applicants forthe three-year post, which
remains unfilled

still undecided over whether or not to have
a homecoming celebration next fall.
Legislative Vice President Me I i ssa A. Der
Manouel suggested that he investigate the
use of the sky boxes during homecoming.
Hines said some students have suggested
just having special alumni events for the
weekend.

Daily Collegian seeking student sugges¬
tions on how the ASI could better represent
students.

Documentary tracks plight
of black pilots in World War II
^j'>
CPS — World War II has started, an
aviation fighter squadron leads Americans
on mission over enemy territory from North-
Africa to Sicily. The only catch is that the
pilots are black, and are forced to complete
each mission without the aid of artillery, '
That's the story of the Tuskegee Airmen,
an all-black fighter squadron, told through
a video documentary^ and traveling exhi¬
bits that kicks off a national four at
the Smithsonian National Air and Space
Museum in Washington, D.C., as part of
Februaryv? Black History Month. x
The documentary and exhibits were spon¬
sored by McDonald's restaurants and Coca-
Cola, USA.
"We feel it is long overdue and very
important to educate young people about
these talented black pilots who fought for
their country, and unfortunately, are not
even mentioned in history books," said
Stephanie Skurdy, director of education for
McDonald's Corp.
The documentary features interviews with
several airmen, including a flier who was
taken as prisoner of war by the Germans.
