Klan cards found on parking lots of Fresno State
■ Klan recruitment
effort draws police
chiefs attention.
By Steve G. Echeverria Jr.
Unity Executive Editor
In a letter released Tuesday to the
campus community. Fresno State's
newly appointed police chief Lynn
Button stated that individuals have
been placing business cards with in¬
formation ftom the Ku KJux Klan on
cars parked on University property.
The cards, which display a Klan
member draped in traditional garb,
contains a P.O. Box and recorded
"Klan" message.
"The Knights of the Klu Klux
Klan White Victory" hotline gives
some disparaging statistics regarding
interracial crime, an introduction to
white supremacist philosophy and
information about the KKK web site.
According to Buttons statement,
the first card surfaced on Oct. 1.
Officers responded to parking lot
"C", located east of the Education
Building, to search for the distribu¬
tors, but found no one.
Next, the cards were placed on
cars during last Thursday's FSU foot¬
ball game.
Brian Clark found one of the
cards on the front window of his
1997 Kia Sportagc after leaving a
night class Thursday.

Denouncing racism
and promoting awareness, a
group of student activists ral¬
lied on the corner of Shaw and
Maple avenues, in front of the
Kappa Fraternity house — the
scene of the vicious Malcolm
Boyd assault.
Linda Orosco. a 20-ycat-
old Fresno City College stu¬
dent, said she attended the
Sept. 25 rally because
"nothing's changed."
"It's a disgrace that in
today's society some
Peckcrwood can attack a stu¬
dent like [Boyd]." said
Orosco, a member of
M.E.Ch.A dc laTicrra, a com¬
munity-based organization.
"This [rally] gives us a chance
to come together and support
each other."
Dewayne Thomas, orga¬
nizer of the rally, said that al¬
though the impromptu gath¬
ering has caught the attention
of those along the busy stretch
of Shaw avenue, it also caught
the watchful eye of the au¬
thorities.
Thornas said that a "very
misinformed leak" regarding
the rally reached the Fresno
Police department and cam¬
pus police department.
According toThonpas, a
"twisted version" of the purpose
of the demonstration reached

"No van ha calificar"— "You arc
not going to qualify," an INS officer
told Humbcrfo Rivera, 30. and Rosa
Rivera, 25. as they inquired about
getting an earlier naturalization
date.
Tuesday Sept. 28 was the dead¬
line for immigrants who have been
ilrc^aLin ijie US for more that 180
days, to leave the US. According
to the immigration law 245 (i). any¬
one who violates this regulation will
be inadmissible tor three years
A secondary principle to this law
states that immigrants may be un¬
able to return to the US if they leave
before they become permanent resi¬
dents.
Don Riding. 50, officcr-in-
chargc at the Fresno INS, said he
cannot advise people to stay in the
country after this law has been vio¬
lated, but it would be the best thing
immigrants can do.
"It's a catch 22." Riding said. "If
we catch them, they arc still deport¬
able, if they leave the country, they
arc inadmissible for three years."

■ Cancellation of
CLS 108 angers
Chicano students.
By Marlbelle Ramon
Unity staff writer
The cancellation ol CLS 108,
Chicano Theater, has Chicano stu¬
dents in an uproar For the past
three years. CLS 108 has been of¬
fered every Spring semester and has
been taught hy Dr. Juan Felipe
Herrcra. However, as ol right now
it will not be offered this spring.
"Cutting the class angers me."
said concerned student Rocio
Magana. Magana had taken the
class in the past and planned to take
it again in the spring. Students can
repeat the course up to 12 units of,
academic credit.
"I feel that they did not consider
the students in their decision and that
they are more worried about quan-
t i t y
rather
Luz Gonzalez
partment gets depends on
the amount of full time enrollment
(FTF) the courses in that department
generates. They arc more worried
about the number of students in a
class rather than the quality of the
education that wc receive."
