The- CSU, Fresno Daily Collegian Vol. LXIV, No. XXX Thursday, March 6,19S6 Editor ottbtLaVoi newspaper, Helen Rodriguez (far right), leads a protest march to The Daily Colleglmn yesterday. Students protest changes Demonstrators gathered in the Free Speech Area Tuesdaj to protest recent policy decisions made by The Daily Col¬ legian's Editor-in-Chief Eric Pappa. Representatives and supporters of the minority newspapers at CSUF demon¬ strated against Pappa's decision to cut their operating budget by over 80 percent. They also protested Pappa's decision to halt insertion of their publications into the Collegian. La Vox de Avian Editor Belen Rodri¬ guez addressed the crowd of protesters and on-lookers at noon. "We are here today because our free¬ dom of speech is being threatened by unjust policies dictated by The Daily Col¬ legian." she said. "Because of the Daily Collegian s inability to manage their bud¬ get, minority funds have been targeted to compensate them. Our very existence is being threatened by decisions in which we have no input." Rodriguez also said that inserting the minority newspapers La Vol, and Uhuru Na Umoja into the Collegian should be a right and no»a privilege. "Denying minor¬ ity newspapers into the Daily Collegian deprives students'access to information," she said. Hye Sharzhoom is not presently inserted into the Collegian. Pappa is fiscally responsible for the three minority newspapers as well as the Collegian. In a press release issued by Pappa, he said he recently examined the budget and realized it was running short of funds. "I chose to cut the pay of the minority edition* because they don't publish nearly as often as the Collegian does," Pappa said. "My staff works longer hours and they deserve to be paid." During Tuesday's protest, Uhuru Na Umoja representative Crystal Crowley said the existence of minority newspapers on campus is vital, but their existence is being threatened. "It is absurd to think we can exist on $100 for the rest of the year," she said. She added that insertion in the Col¬ legian increases their newspaper"» reader¬ ship and "upgrades the campus." Robert Castorena, Chicane-Latino Stu¬ dent Association president, said Pappa* policy decisions are a "political attempt to shut out the voice of the people." He said "This is anexample of the mentality which is permeating the university, the A.S. (Associated Students Senate) and now the editorship of The Dally Collegian." Albert Robles, president of the student chapter of Movimiento Estudiantil Chi- cano de Aztlan (M EChA), also spoke. He said La Vox "is being threatened because of the many issues which it reports on." Robles cited student aid cuts, the table grape boycott and foreign policy issues as "Many times such reporting runs coun¬ ter to the interest of big business," he said, "but La Voi is an indispenlible asset." A.S. Senator Greg Barfield urged stu¬ dents to support the protesters' cause, write letters to the senate and express their opinion. - After expressing their views in the Free Speech Area, the protesters proceeded to the Collegian's office where they con¬ fronted Pappa. "I support, endorse and encourage the existence of minority newspaper* on cam- pu»," Pappa told them.""I'm a journalist and would never bar the freedom of "1 was following the directive of the expression." media council," be said. "They said I "No matter how I planned it, someone could not discuss this situation with the would have said i was unfair," he said.
