LETTER, from page 3
onto campus! I started college at a
large northwestern university and
the freshman parking lot (yes, the
lots there were assigned according
to your class standing and how much
you're willingtopay) was theequiva-
lent of parking at Chestnut and
Barstow and having to walk to classes
at the dormitories. And it was a
much larger university than Fresno
State, too.
Life is tough, then you die'.Let's
sec some editorializing on President
Clinton's health-care reform pack¬
age or on the gun bills now before
Congress* Is this the best we can do
for university news?
Let's graduate to real news sto¬
ries! The world is looking for re¬
sults, not excuses.      ..    ...   .

thought, he has fought for America as a world
economic superpower.
He served in the House of Representatives, from
1970-1989. His illustrious career in congress
followed a 13-year career as one of the best quarter¬
backs in the National Football League. He co-
founded the American Football League Players
Association and was elected president of the

COOK, from page
and developed a style of cooking.''
But his cooking repertoire was
really expanded when he became a
single parent having to put food on
the table.
It seems that cooking for chil¬
dren can be the biggest challenge a
chef can face. As Mikell said, "If
you can get your children to like
your food, I tnink you can get any¬
one to'.*" "v  .
Part of what he loves most about -
cooking seems to be the response
he receives from others. He said
"bringing satisfaction and'enjoy¬
ment to someone else," through
cooking something, 'That's a great
thing." *
What he also loves about cook¬
ing is the "creativity, being able to'
relax and to focus in on what I am
preparing. And hopefully the de¬
light and satisfaction that someone
is going to get from eating this."
But because of his love of cook¬
ing, it seems MikaH is alsb trying to
share the joy of cooking with oth¬
ers. Three years ago he started a
one-unit class here on campus that
meets two Saturdays before Thanks¬
giving, a "big food holiday."
The class is called African
American Cuisine. Mikell said the
class usually has 30 to 35 students
1
who, by the end ofthe classes, "get
a full packet of recipes that I've
developed over the years."
The class gives' a background
about Africa and African-Ameri¬
can food and culture. Two other
professors also give demonstrations
to the class about African and Ja¬
maica* cooking. And members of
die class get to cook some mote
soul-food style of food.,.     .    jJ^
Mikell said it's a "fun class but
also a learning experience. It's not
just a cooking class per se, it's a
cultural meaning of food."
One faculty member who took
the class agreed. Caroline Will-
lams, assistant director of career
development said it was a "down
home class, and cooking atmo¬
sphere."
She said she tried a couple ofthe
recipes in the class and they "went*
over well with family and friends."
She said she can't wait to try more
of Mikell's recipes.
Through the class, Mikell seems
to be spreading his love of cooking
the enjoyment of it He said another
important thing about cooking is
the presentation. "When something
is presented right, it heightens the
emotion and appetite and adds to
the enjoyment of the food."
The Muslim Student Association (MS A) is
proudly hosting a special event that, it hopes,
will help foster a better understanding of Is¬
lam. The lecture will be delivered by Mi*.
Muzammal Siddiqui, a distinguished scholar
and a Harvard graduate who has a degree in
comparative religion.
