Page 2 EDITORIAL CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO September 21,1994 INSIGHT Guest Columnist Major Gary Masters What is the mission of Army ROTC? Army ROTC, in conjunction with the military academies, has the responsibility to commission 3.086 high quality, well educated individuals every year. The Army is looking for a diversity of technical and administrative skills to fill jobs that range from the physically demanding (Infantry, Armor, Field Artillery ahd-Air Defense) to technically demanding (Military Intelligence, Aviation, Signal Corps and Engineers) to administratively demanding (Finance, Military Police, Transportation Corps and Quartermaster). There are also the jobs that require specialty skills such as lawyers, nurses and doctors. In each case, the newly commissioned second lieutenant is taken into the service and given a mid- level management position. Currently, over 300 universities across the country have ROTC programs. What is the mission of the CSUF Army ROTC program? First, our mission is to support the overall Army ROTC mission. Our specific mission is to commission 15 second lieutenants every year, including a set number of nurses, who are in high demand. Second, our mission is to turn college students into top-quality Army officers. We do this through elective military science classes in which such basic skills as land navigation and survival techniques are taught. These serve as an introduction to the Army ROTC program. For the advanced courses, the skills required to be a competent leader of other men and women are examined. We train in groups and individually for situations that both military members and their civilian counterparts will be facing. Overall, ROTC classes normally occupy about four hours a week, leaving plenty of time for other classes and an active social life. The last mission is to hatPlun! Why take officers from universities instead of increasing the mission of military academies? The Army needs officers from a diverse background with the range of skills already mentioned. The Army is a microcosm of the larger U.S. society. We have people from all across the United Slates and many walks of life. Because of thai diversity, we need leaders wilh that same diverse background. In addition, the Army needs specific skills which can be best taught at the university level. Universities with highly respected academic departments, such as nursing, business and criminology, help to fill those needs. The Army is reducing its numbers. How does this affect new people coming into the service? Currently, there is a shortfall of 400-700 sec ond lieutenants. This shortfall is expected to continue for the next four years. The Army has started reducing its population and, in particular, has retired senior officers while still maintaining the requirement for junior officers. What good does having served in the Army provide to the individual? Whether the individual serves for three years or 20, the leadership skills that are gained and exercised make him or her much more competitive in the civilian market. A Forbes magazine poll showed that 76 percent of all chief executive officers in 1992 had served as commissioned officers in the military before entering ihe civilianjob market. Nationwide, Army ROTC programs and universities work hand- in-hand to provide the Army with top-qualily commissioned officers and provide students with skills lhat make them more marketable in the civilian world. Through this collaboration, not only docs the Army benefit, but the students and universities benefit, also. Major Gary Masters is the Professor of Military Science at California State University, Hold the veggies, please Celeste Cox Junk food is the cornerstone of my being. I can't imagine what life would be like without chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies and those runs for the border in the wee hours of the morning. Life would get really ugly, really quick. Everyone is always reminding me to watch what I eat. For instance, my best friend since the sixth grade is constantly reminding me of how much fat any food Of course, she tells me as I'm about to shove whatever is in my hand into my mouth. My answer is usually, "Oh really?" Munch, munch, munch. I can always work it off later. Or I could just watch Oprah instead. Last week my friend informed me that the popcorn at movie theatres has right around a gazillion calories and grams of fat per piece. Yeah, that's really going to keep me away from the snack bar. The latest craze in nutrition has really got my taste budsVrying. There are now nutrition labels\m every edible product in existance/\^^ No, I really don't care thaT><42 ounce can of Pepsi has 41 grams of sugar. Then, there are those foods that, rather than eating, I should just sit on them, because that's where they're going anyway. Those are my favorite kinds. This category would include cakes, candies and anything that says "Hostess." Spare me the sliced carrots and celery sticks as snacks. Carrots numb my tongue and celery has that weird texture that can't be described but is easily recognized when I chew it. As far as other veggie no-go's, tomatoes would have to be right behind carrots and celery as the most useless vegetable. At the very least, tomatoes do add color and make salad pretty. They also decorate the tables and windows of fast food restaurants well. When I say no mean it. Speaking of fast food restaurants, one of my friends recently introduced me to a wonderfully fattening and tasty treat ... the bacon cheeseburger. It has all the fat of the regular cheeseburger and some to spare. These, also known as cholesterol burgers, are especially tasty with a side order of greasy, salty french fries and a large chocolate milkshake. Last but not least, there is the ultimate sin... pizza. I don't mean cheese pizza, either. I like the meat-lovers, extra cheese and pepperoni style stuff. This, I'm certain, could replace gasoline as a source of energy. Without the simple pleasures in life, like food that tastes good but is horrible for the body, life would be too boring. Sure, being healthy is nice, but as my late father used to say, I would much rather die because of happy taste buds than live with bored ones. TOPTEN REASONS TO EAT JUNK FOOD 10. For the kooky side effects felt after downing four packages of Twinkies. 9. To feel the sensation of a rotting stomach after each tasty morsel. 8. Because there is no better way to start the day than a six-pack of Mountain Dew.' 7. Caffeine lessens the challenge of staying awake in those two hour classes. 6. There's nothing like crashing from a caffeine high. 5. For those attractive love handles. 4. It gives students a reason to hang out in The Pit. AtL*^a_iV^^£'!4 3. Junk food is cheaper than drugs and gives the same effect. 2. It gives students extra energy with which to annoy professors. 1. Because the taste now is worth the side effects later. Students oblivious to life Unwed couples deserve equal rights Shahada Abdul-Karim OPINION A group of 100 California State University, Fresno students were randomly selected and asked the question, "What is your opinion on the Population Control Summit, and whose view do you support?" Of the one hundred students, only 31 of them even knew what the Population Control Summit was. The most common response was "The what?" These stu- When your high school teacher encouraged you to write a report on current events, he/she was getting at something. dents represent the population of the CSUF campus. If this study holds true, then a little ■ more than a quarter of the student population is aware of current events. That's pathetic, considering the fact that the very reason schools of higher learning are established is to expand the horizons of those attending. If a student graduates from this institution without the skills needed to keep abreast of the events that could ultimately affect the future of their own generation, then it is inevitable that democracy will be compromised. If these same students decide that the events currently shaping their lives are not important, they will pass the already singed flag of America on to the next generation, who will have a difficult time trying to clean up the mess that their "unconcerned" parents left behind. Take, for instance, the issue of environmental preservation. Because our parents decided that taking care of their drug habit was more important than taking care of the environment (unless hemp fields were considered 'the environment'), we have inherited a wasteland that is on the verge of annihilation. Our generation is aimlessly groping in ihe dark for solutions to a problem that could have been prevented if the students of that time had taken responsibility for their actions. Are the students of this generation up for the challenge of following in the footsteps of the generation before them? Are the 'learned" members of this institution just as brain dead and oblivious to the rest of the world as those who came before them'.' When your high school teacher encouraged you to write a report on _—_—-—_———_—_—_. current events, he/she was getting at something. They were developing a skill that ==^^^^^=^^^^^======== could become a lifetime practice. They were not simply leaching you something that should be forgotten upon exit of the classroom. The results of the survey arc in: This campus is housing a bunch of apaihetic>oblivious kids under the falsely interpreted title 'student.' The heads of nations arc currently meeting to discuss the subject of population control. Abortion, infanticide and the elimination of unproductive members of society (i.e. homeless, prisoners, and welfare recipients) arc only some of ihc platforms being discussed, and the average student is oblivious. The fate of the entire world is being debated. Are wc going to allow the emergence of a Fourth Reich? The Nazi mentality was to rid society of its "parasitic members." The Serb mentality was to "cleanse" its society of an undesirable race. The heads of nations want to rid the world of the economically underprivileged. Someone else is debating whether or not you have the right to live. What are you going to do about it? Marlene Bryant OPINION Of the 10.4 million households in California, nearly 500,000 consist of unmarried couples, according to the 1990 census. Of those, more than 90 percent are heterosexual. A significant amount of California's population has been seriously affected by Wilson's latest decision to veto a bill that would register domestic partners. He said that most provisions in the bill arc already in state Why should those 500,000 unmarried couples want more when they already have hospital visitation, conservatorship, not to mention the privilege of being named beneficiary or receiving power of attorney? How can anyone want more than they already have? What do they think this is, the land of milk and honey where freedom can be found around every corner? Athletics overrated, overfunded KenKoller OPINION Ahh, Fresno Sports ... err State University. I don't know about you, but I love going to a school that puts the needs of 18 or so people, otherwise known as the softball team, ahead of the other 19-some-odd thousand other students. The softball program cries and whines that their facility isn't as glorious as it should be, while the physical education softball class has to contend with gopher holes and muddy outfields at what can only be loosely defined as a "field." Boy, wouldn't the alumni scream if Maureen Brady twisted her ankle in a gopher hole. I'm not picking on the softball team in particular. However, I fail to sec any oorrrmirnw working the conten ts of their athletic cops off to raise $2.7 million to help the mass communication and journalism department buy new computers. I know that sports are an important part of the university, but I always thought that the purpose of a college was getting an education, not to score touchdowns. Another thing that I really don't understand is the way people and law enforcement in Fresno treat Bulldog athletes as gods. The hordes of fanatical Red Wavers that turn out to gaze in awe at Fresno State athletes at "meet the Bulldogs" events boggles the mind. Also, it seems that sports gods can pretty much get away with anything they want. "Well, you know, Mr. football player, you really shouldn't have massacred that busload of nuns, just don't do it again. By the way, can I have your autograph?" I One thing that the university says in an attempt to justify the amount of money it spends on athletics is that athletic programs help promote the university outside of Fresno. I'm not arguing wilh the notion that national exposure of the unversity at events such as the Aloha and Freedom Bowls helps to lure potential athletes, err. students to CSUF. But I would like to see concrete numbers from the sports brain trust on the numbers of new pupils that choose to attend our glorious university after seeing Trent Dilfer throw a touchdown on national TV. So hey, lets just be fair here. IfX percent of students participate in athletics, give them the same percent of funds. If the adminstration can make a justifiable argument for spending gobs of money on sports, be my guest. Until then, start cutting some checks for my education. Unmarried heterosexual couples must conform to societal norms and be joined in wedded bliss in order to benefit from this bill. On the other hand, let's consider the lesbian or homosexual couples. They will never reap the benefits of a married couple now that the bill has been vetoed. They cannot conform to societal norms and still maintain their chosen lifestyle. Face it, they are being discriminated against because of their sexual preference. They should not be punished because of who they arc nor should they be expected to change. To do this would violate their right to happiness, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Let's wake up and smell the espresso, people. It's 1994. We openly discuss sex, condoms, virginity, abortion and AIDS. In this enlightened age, let's ac knowledge the rights of people who differ from traditional, Christian marital habits. People are people no matter who they have sex with. Their emotions arc still genuine and should still be acknowledged as such. Denying rights to unmarried, homosexual and lesbian couples is just as immoral as banning a woman from flying an aircraft carrier because she is female; banning homosexuals from the military because they might tarnish the strict, prestigious stature of the service; denying African-Americans the right to vote because of their skin color or denying those who didn't own property 200 years ago the right to vote because they didn't possess a distinguished social stature. Use discrimination against one group of people, and it will eventually get you back. Societal taboos should not be used as an excuse to deny freedoms to anyone. il:si fi^SSY Uatl CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO Department of Mass Communication and Journalism CSUF, 2225 E.
