and could not hold an election a
SchindleT quoted from the c
bylaws that say an election committee
appointed by the Senate must run all
elections.
However, the Senate does not have an
election committee established yet.
Paul Canales, A.S. president, was re
quired by the bylaws to nominate a chair
person to an election committee within
two weeks of the start of the semester,
Schindler said.
However, Canales has not nominated
anyone for that position so far this sem-
The bylaws also say that it is only after a
chair is selected and approved by the
Senate that other members could be ap
pointed to the five-member committee.
The Senate discussed the possiblity of
electing a chair and filling the committee
in time for a December election.
Some senators suggested that the
group overrule Canales, who was no:
present, and elect a chair for the commit
tee immediately.
Schindler questioned the feasability
and legality of such a move.
Schindler said that the Student Court
would have to decide if such a move
would be legal under the Constitution.
Schindler also said that the Student
Court itself had not yet been established
The Senate then abandoned the idea of
immediately filling the committee and put
forth a motion to hold an election in
December if a committee was set up by
Dec. 6. That motion failed to pass.
The Senate then decided to table the
motion indefinitely.

Wasser said that Rogers makes some

"They've let politicians and other peo¬
ple use them as a wedge in terms of say¬
ing, we're doing something but we're
doing it with women." said Williams.
"They seem comfortable with benefiting
at the expense of all other groups who are
making pleas to society for equity and
equality, and they lack ethics at that
Williams said he also objects to the
characterization of women as a minority
group, when in fact they are the majority
of the population.
He said that it makes it appear as
though women have experienced the
same problems and issues as the ethnic
minorities, and that it wasn't true. He said
women have experienced what he termed
opposed to the "exploitive and genocidal"
discrimination faced by the ethnic"minori-
ties, who are used economically.
"They understand it," said Williams.
"But they don't want to hear it," said'
"Change for them is going to be better if
they're independent of the more difficult
issues of blacks and browns and other
folks who are discriminated against by
society," said Williams.
One of the texts used in Wasser's
"Women and Media" class is entitled
"Take Back the Night — Women on Por¬
nography." In the text, Tracy Gardner, a
black feminist, addresses the problem of
racism in pornography and the women's
a doubly oppressed position in today's
society," said Gardner. "They are subject
to the racist prejudices of a predomi¬
nantly white society in power and, in addi¬
tion, they are oppressed as women," she
'Too often what has been between us
has not been a relationship, but usage.
The only times you remember women of
color are on the occasions when it would
be an emabarrassment to be without us.
And as women of color, when we're in
need we don't call on you. because half
the time you are part of our trouble, and
our association with you makes it more
difficult to bring the Issue of our rights to
communities of color," she said.

—or rather the possibility of contracting
herpes is. There-is no known cure for
herpes or even a practical medication to
alleviate the painful lesions that result.
Zovirax, a medication that ha* recently
been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration and released to the
market, is not the wonder drug that it has
been hailed as, according to Dr. John
Vandrick, CSUF Health Center director.
The medication, whose chemical name is
acyclovir, has been experimentally shown
to relieve certain symptom* of herpes
genitalis in patients with initial episode* of
"It (herpes genitalis) show* .itself as
small Master -like \eskr* occurring in clus¬
ters on a reddish base," Vanderick said in
a To Your Health article. "These gradu-
aDy form crusts which are eventually «hed
and the skin or mucous membrane
regains its normal appearance."
Zovirax helps alleviate some of the
symptoms in initial occurances, Vander¬
ick concedes.
"The first occurrence is generally the
most severe," Vandrick continued in his
articler "In those cases the drug hastened
the healing by about four days — from
two weeks to about 10 days as reported in
the Medical Letter, June 11, 1982. It also
reduced the viral shedding or contagious¬
ness from seven days to four. In recurrent
bouts the effects were minimal."
This medication is not available at the
CSUF Health Center although about 20
students a month come in to the Center
with herpes.
So what is the reason for not carrying
the drug?
"Most cases of herpes that we see are
recurrent types," Vandrick said. "Zor-
virax is recommended only in the initial
stages of herpes. In subsequent attacks
there is no significant help. There are a
couple of main reasons why we don't
carry the drug. First, there is evidence
that some resistant strains (of herpes)
emerge with wide use of this drug. If it is
widely used, then we will have a resistant
st rain and we will have no medicine to use
in the more severe coses.
"Second, it is expensive at $17 for a
. small tube. For students that is not a prac¬
tical expense. For the minima] advan¬
tages that it offers, is it worth theexpense
and is it worth the disadvantage of per¬
haps contributing to a i
strain?"
