executive order to end affirma¬
tive action." The Republican state
ccaivention occurred last week¬
end in Sacramento. Johnson also
acknowledged that the wording
of the initiative has not been final¬
ized, and that no one has been
selected yet tohead up localCCRI
efforts.
Ed Varela, CSU, Fresno's Af¬
firmative Action officer, thinks
some people instantly associate
affirmative action with hiring
quotas. "The anti-affirmative ac¬
tion sentiment focuses on a no¬
tion that affirmative action con¬
flicts with the merit principle, but
they're really not incompatible.
Our job is to make qualified job
candidates known to people mak¬
ing hiring decisions, like depart¬
mental directors. But we can't
make those hiring decisions our¬
selves."
Varela also sought to dear up
any misconception about quotas.
"CSU Fresno has no set-asides
and no quotas. What we do have
'CSU, Fresno ftas no set-asides and no quo-
" tas. What \vedo have is an overall goal of
increasing the numbers of under-repre¬
sented and overlooked candidates.'
—Ed Varela
Affirmative Action Officer
is an overall goal of increasing the
numbers of under-represented
and overlooked candidates."
Arthur Wint, director of Hu¬
man Resources and executiifc as¬
sistant to the President, concurred
with much of this assessment.
"In terms of hiring, we'd con¬
tinue to urge committees to look
for people who have demon¬
strated the ability to teach in a
racially diverse atmosphere," he
said. "This wouldn't necessarily
mean hiring Latino people, Afri¬
can American people, or purple
people for that matter."
When asked to speculate
whether CCRI would spark 're¬
verse discrimination' lawsuits,
Wint replied. "We already get
sued because of hiring decisions.
Granted, a measure like this may
increase: the propensity^ of some
people to sue. Fresno State policy
states that we won't hire a faculty
member who is not tpp.urable. Our
system is already geared to a merit
basis. The initiative won't change
our practices that much."
„ Varela added, "There hasn't
been a whole lot of discussion'
about this around our offices yet,
and the campus mirrors much of
what's happening on the national
level. As long as people don't be¬
come isolated in their positions,
and continue to work together,
we can work haroW toward a -
truly color-blind society."

room, he intends to speak to the
school administration to allot
funds for this "much-needed ser¬
vice."
William Corcoran, dean of
students, supported the idea of
the room last year when it was
brought up before tine board of
directors. . v
"Ifs a worthwhile activity
because it deals with the problem
many parents have who don't
want to disturb others in the li¬
brary," Corcoran said.
In operation since March
1994, the room re-opened last
Tuesday for the spring semester
under the charge of coordinators
Jakia Woods and Barbie Cornell.
The coordinators take care of
the room, decorations,, supplies
and programs for the children,
and they also supervise student
volunteers. Woods said students
in certain classes can get credit
when they volunteer. Student
groups can also volunteer. Soror¬
ity sisters, for example, volun¬
teered their time last year. .
Woods said one of <he prob¬
lems with running the room is the
lack of publicity. She said she tells
parents when she sees them on
campus with their children.
Woods said she and Cornell
are planning to have puppet
shows and musicians to send the
message out that theVe *is a
children's activity room in the li~
L r try and to attract more people.
"A lot of parents still don't,
know about [the room]," she said.
"Most of the time last semester^
we had more volunteers than chil¬
dren."
The room is not a child care
center, but is there to assist stu¬
dents wheneed to use the library
as long as the room is opened for
the day, Woods sakL ,
"We are set up for parents
who are studying in the library.
They can't leave," said the 19-
year-old nursing major, ^hir
mam concern is that [the kids] are
potty-trained. We're not respon¬
sible for changing [diapers}. We're
just here to make it fun for [chil¬
dren].* j
If the volunteers are anything
like the coordinators, parents can
be sure their children an? learning
as well as having a good time
"I loye the kids playing
around with me. I get to teach
theifra lot/f Woods said. "Ifs fun
hecause-1 see that they're learning
and havirig fun a lot [The chil¬
dren] also learn to share. Some
don't like to share, and they learn
that if they don't share, they can't
play." * .
The room is open Monday to
Thursday from4pjn.to8:30pjrL,
Saturday from 10 ajn. to 3 pjn.
and Sunday from 3:30 p jn. to 8:30
pjn.
