No fight in student government
Dear Editor, „
In your Feb. 1 issue of
the Dairy Collegian, you ran
, a story on the ASI gearing
upTJor a "fight" over the,
upcoming tuition hikes. As a
second year transfer student
from F.CG, I'd like to see
you or the ASI officers tell
\ me and the rest of the CSUF
student population what
exactly was meant by
"fight"
In the time that I have
been on this campus, I have
yet to,see any large-scale
campaign for or against
anything except getting into
your cushy little offices. At
the same time, Pete [Wilson]
has maintained a position in
favor of building expensive
new prisons anci"iighting"
crime, whik cutting funding
to education to pay for his
campaign promises. We now
have our very own "three
strikes and you're out of
college" policy to protect our
streets, and yef things
continue to worsen. I don't
know about the rest of you,
but the free education, job
trainingand three square
meals ad ay offered in ■
prisons are starting to lOok
tempting. However, I can
hold out a while if there is
some kind of reaction from
our student advocates.,
Susan Gonzales-Shweiki
offers one small token to her
students, stating that ^ttk^'
possible that we (the AS^ \
might even start another
letter writing campaign."
Her "Reality" opposition,
Sen. Joel Eanes and A.V.P.
