didn't you publish what some

ing? I mean, if you published
ever/thing that made us look vil¬
lainous, why not say the whole
t nj th? We did not get violent We
wanted to be'heard, but from
what I see, we do hot have the
freedom bf speech orexpression
just because our skin color.
This land was created for ev¬
eryone. No, and this is not a fight
over land, it is a fight for human
rights. Yes, alllhaveseen ispeople
fighting among each other over
something that is not really Hie
issue. The real issue is that people
are being discriminated against,
especially our children, the fu- ^
ture generation of this country.
TSov.JWilson does not care how
those idds are feeling. For all we
know, these kids are gojjtg
through a racial trauma..Wilson
is probably still sitting at home,
saying "Look, this is what I
wanted tosee, everyone fighting
among each other." Let's not give
him that pleasure and fight him
with our minds, not our fists. We
all are smart and if we all work
together, I know we could defeat
Wilson. Como dijo Chavez "La
Raza Unida Jamas Sera Vencida" j
(Like Chavez said, "A united race
will never be defeated"). Let's
prove to Wilsprtthat together we
all could be more powerful than
him.and his politics.

so I will go ahead and say it:
Those who think the flag burning
was great, why don't you just
leave this cour^Jtryahd go back to
your own? Apparently, you want
to live in this country and receive
all the benefits available, but you
don't want to respect and thank
what this country, has done. The
flag burningis not the only tiling
hich upset me. Like many Cau-
iians, I found myself disgusted
'th what was taking place, and
en fearful of who the crowd
might have turned on next. After
the burning of Wilson^in effigy,
would they have turnefclon a
white student whetherthey)sup-
ported Prop. 187or not? Wrth the
protesters booing, spitting and
yelling at anyone who tried to
state an opposing view, one might
think that if they spoke up, they
might get'attacked. Who would
want to.say anything if they
thought their next word could be
their last? Not this columnist.
I must congratulate those who
oppose 187, who are Mexican,
and still willing to talk to me
about the issues even if they
didnt agree with my views. But
I still ask of them one thing: I
never did hear you, or anyone
else that opposes 187, propose a
different solution to the illegal
immigration problem. I ended
up voting against 187, but after

Senate opposes elimination of foreign students
By Phyllis Martin
Collegian Staff Writer
The Fresno State College Stu¬
dent Senate yesterday passed a
resolution opposing Chancellor
Glenn Dumke's proposal elimi¬
nating foreign students to Califor¬
nia state colleges next year and
hiking their tuition from $7.50 to
$18.
The tuition increase has already
been approved by the State Col¬
lege Board of Trustees, effective
in the fall of 1970.
Dumk^^proposal, which also
eliminates graduate students who
are pursuing a definite degree and
transfer students with less than 60
units, is in response to Governor
Ronald Reagan's 20 percent bud¬
get cut on the proposed state col- .
lege system. ,
The resolution urges the board
of trustees, the chancellor's office
and the F.S.C. administration "to
reconsider Chancellor Dumke's

LXXV/42 THUBSOAV,
The support given to the resolu¬
tion is overwhelming."
H e
added
that "in
these
times
when the
unifica¬
tion of the
world is
1970."
The proposal will probably be
presented at the trustees'nextmeet-
ing. The senate's resolution will
be sent to the trustees, the
chancellor's office and the F.S.C.
administration.
Ernesto Trejo, senator for the
School of Humanities and author
of the resolution, said, "I hope that
the chancelldr and the governor
won't ignore the action taken by
the Student Senate.
most necessary and pressing, to
stop the interaction of different cul¬
tures is in reality denying the uni¬
versal man."
In other action, President-pro
Tern Gil Acuna presented the sen¬
ate with an eight-page "Senate Pro¬
cedural and Legislative Proposals"
pamphlet in hopes that it will act as
an "impetus for the senate to get
down to some hard legislative work.
In essence, it's a legislative pro¬
gram coming from my office as
President Pro-Tern to lead the sen¬
ate off into real legislative work,"
Acuna said.
First Vice President Allen Ishida
issued a statement concerning a'
press conference supposedly called
by the Student Senate yesterday.
Ishida explained that Richard
Asarian, an F.S.C. student, met
October4, with Doug Broten, stu¬
dent body president, because he
(Asarian) was interested in setting
up an ad hoc committee toj>resent
the moderate stand on Folk's re¬
cent administrative decisions.
Due to a misunderstanding,
Asarian thought that he was an'ad    -
hoc committee of the senate and
called a press conference.
In reality he is an independent
ad hoc committee seeking tempo¬
rary recognition.
Asarian will now file for inde¬
pendent ad hoc standing through
the Student Activities Office.
