Last Saturday marked the
opening of the local San Joaquin
Voter Registration Project office, located at 430 N. Teilman,
Fresno.
Elected officials and current
candidates for public office attended the ceremonies which
kicked off a drive to register
Spanish-speaking citizens in
Fresno County.
The San Joaquin Voter· Registration Project is being funded
by the Southwest VoterRegistration Educational Project headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
· It's motto is •su voto es su
voz."
Project Director Luis Ambriz
said the project is aimed at educating people on the political
process and informing them on
their right to vote.
"The voter registration project," said Ambriz, "is a step in
the right direction."
Ambriz added that for too long
Chicanos have not been active in
the political arena, either by not
registering or failing to vote,
thus cancelling their registration.
He said the project will have a
significant impact on the political
profile of Fresno County.
•The reason for the impact,•
said Ambriz, "is thatin any of the
17 Fre·sno County communities,
100 votes or more will change
the outcome of any local election."
Ambriz said they plan to organize community leaders to
register persons locally in their
own community, using a grassroot level approach •
., Another method of registering
the Spanish-speaking population
is through tardeadas, dances, and
door-to-door campaigns," Ambriz said.
•The -project headquarters
needs persons to volunteer their
time to help organize these communities,• he said.
For more information, contact
Ambriz at 442-0182 or 292-5312.

Editorial
Angie wo~ld .bring
unification to gov't.
- Again, the time has come (pr students to vote people into campus
political positions. These elections are taking place today and tomorrow. Students are urged, as usual, to exercise their voting
rights.
students must consider at least two things. First, how stfould
student affairs be-handled? And, second, how should they be accomplished?
·
While it may seem obvious to many people wnich candidates La
Voz w9uld endorse, consideration must be given to the basic philosophy behind this endorsement.
·
What ls needed in the presidency is an individual whose approach
consists of a desire to bring together the many varied ideas, beliefs,
and desires on camp~s.
Angie Rios, who has been actively involved both on and off campus
since she enrolled at CSUF four years ago, is a person who realizes
the priorities and challenges before her.
What Angie has going for her, besides the typical middle-of-theroad campaign promises other candidates always make but never
keep, is that she is indeed responsive to people.
What we need is a. . student government students can relate to ALL students.
There will be remarks to "ethnic lines" drawn in student campaigns. Hopefully, this won't result in racial fears for political
exploitation.
Angie's ideas and concerns stem from a more liberal perspectiv·e
than either the traditional or conservatt ve mentality of her opponents.
The Angie Rios for President approach is one geared towards
political re-evaluation, people, open minds, positive action, and follow-through .•• NOT some upper-class bourgeoisie-get-it-on-yourresume stunt.
We hope your concerns are similar to these and that. you will go to
the voting booths to show your support for a re-direction in student
- government - a vote for unity. VOTE TODAY!
UFW initiative for
farmwor_kers' rights
The following is Section I of the initiative the United Farm Workers
are petitioning to get on the June ballot.
SECTION 1. In enacting this legislation the people of the State of
California seek to ensure peace in the agricultural fields by guaranteeing justice for all agricultural workers and stability in labor
relations.
This enactment is intended to bri ng certainty ancl a sense of fair
play to a presently .unstable and potentially volatile condition in the
state. The people recognize that no la',_V in itself resolves social
injustice and economic di s locations,
' However, in the belie f the people affected_ desire a resolution to
this dispute and will make a sincere effort to work through the procedures established in this legislation, it is the hope of the people
that farm laborers, farmers, and the State of California will be
served by the provisions of this act.

Editor:
H~ participated in the first

higher utility rates being us·ed to
finance investments for the Atlantic Richfield Co. (ARCO).
He supported the United Farm
Workers effort to win justice.
This man is Tom Hayden,
Democrat running for U.S. Senat~.
Mr. Hayden helped launch the
student movement of the 60's.
Tom Hayden attended his first
Anti-War demonstration as a
student. He organized protests,
wrote books, taught classes,
made films.
He lobbied with politicians,
testified before congressional
committees, taught a class in the
House of Representatives.
Tom Hayden saw the war firsthand all over Indochina. He met
with officials of all sides, and
helped arrange the first release
of American pris~ners of war.
T~m Hayden was charged with
conspiracy for his anti-war actions. He went through a six
month trial and a three year review before being cleared of all
charges in the Chicago Seven
case.
Mr. Hayden's campaign is
receiving contributions mostly
from ·well known activists. John
Tunney, by contrast, 'is primarily
funded by corporated interests.
From March 1 through June 30,
1975, Tunney received $133,000
from 250 contributors. About 75%
of these were from large corporations.
Among the contributors was
Gallo Wines.
Tom Hayden's support rose in
the Field Poll from 13% to 16%
in August, while Senator Tunney's
support fell 10%.
Tom Hayden feels foreign policy must be fully open to the
public and not governed by the
CIA, Executive Branch elites,
and the multinational corporations they serve.
Employees should have a
greater say over working conditions, we should replace monotony with meaning, insure health
safety, and be protected :;i.gainst
arbitrary harassment or dismissal.
Political reform and grassroots controls of our political
parties must be accelerated.
All encroachment on ci vii
liberties by the CIA and the FBI
must be ended.

representahon ,n Senate topic for, EOP event
by Anna Noriega
"I was very unhappy with the
way they (Senate) were appropriating their money," said
Shelia Hiatt of her bid for the
Associated Students Senate position of Undeclared Majors.
Associated with the International Programs Committee, she
is the sole candidate for the position.
"International stude~ts are not
represented in the Senate," said
Ms. Hiatt. •They put in half a
million dollars in Fresno City
alone in one year."
This year the senate allocated
$1,900 to the International Programs Committee. ·
Ms. Hiatt is a sophomore International Relations major.
She became involved with
I.P.C. because "I feel that people
have stopped caring about each
other. America tends to be so
isolated, we get comfortable in
our own lives and we forget
about each other."
Ms. Hiatt is presently a T.A.
in an International Studies class
offered as an extension course:
The class deals with the "differences and similarities between
o_ther cultures, not just our own."
"Students who plan to study
abroad take this class," said Ms.
Hiatt. "They can find out what to
expect."
Her plans for the future include
studying abroad in France for a
year then touring Europe and the
Middle East.
"Hopeful-ly I will have a job
lined up with an embassy," she
said. She also plans to go to
George Washington University
and get her Master's degree • .
"I can't stress enough the importance of unity among the minorities_," said the 21-year-old
CSUF coed.
"We have fought separately
for so long. We have one baste
problem - we are all minorities, but if we unite we can become the majority.
•sure there are differences,"
Hiatt said, •but we are all human
beings with the same basic
needs."
Hiatt added that she had chosen
to run on the Angle Rios for
President slate because it consists of the minority.
She said she felt- they (Rios
slate) •were for. all people
equally down the line."

The conference, on Good Friday, will also coincide with La
Marcha de Unidad scheduled
April 17 in Fresno.
Last Saturday, the Central
Valley Region met to offer specifics to the statewide ~tatement.
Regional Chairperson, Pablo
Ramirez, of Fresno City College, said the major outcome
of the Regional Meeting hostea
by Reedley College was the establishing of May 1 as the next
areawide meeting.
He said CSU Stanislaus will
host the next meeting.
Because many of the Central
Valley MEChA's received notification of the April 3 meeting
late, only· five of the 19 member
colleges attended.
However, Ramirez said one

Last Saturday marked the
opening of the local San Joaquin
Voter Registration Project office, located at 430 N. Teilman,
Fresno.
Elected officials and current
candidates for public office attended the ceremonies which
kicked off a drive to register
Spanish-speaking citizens in
Fresno County.
The San Joaquin Voter· Registration Project is being funded
by the Southwest VoterRegistration Educational Project headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
· It's motto is •su voto es su
voz."
Project Director Luis Ambriz
said the project is aimed at educating people on the political
process and informing them on
their right to vote.
"The voter registration project," said Ambriz, "is a step in
the right direction."
Ambriz added that for too long
Chicanos have not been active in
the political arena, either by not
registering or failing to vote,
thus cancelling their registration.
He said the project will have a
significant impact on the political
profile of Fresno County.
•The reason for the impact,•
said Ambriz, "is thatin any of the
17 Fre·sno County communities,
100 votes or more will change
the outcome of any local election."
Ambriz said they plan to organize community leaders to
register persons locally in their
own community, using a grassroot level approach •
., Another method of registering
the Spanish-speaking population
is through tardeadas, dances, and
door-to-door campaigns," Ambriz said.
•The -project headquarters
needs persons to volunteer their
time to help organize these communities,• he said.

Editorial
Angie wo~ld .bring
unification to gov't.
- Again, the time has come (pr students to vote people into campus
political positions. These elections are taking place today and tomorrow. Students are urged, as usual, to exercise their voting
rights.
students must consider at least two things. First, how stfould
student affairs be-handled? And, second, how should they be accomplished?
·
While it may seem obvious to many people wnich candidates La
Voz w9uld endorse, consideration must be given to the basic philosophy behind this endorsement.
·
What ls needed in the presidency is an individual whose approach
consists of a desire to bring together the many varied ideas, beliefs,
and desires on camp~s.
Angie Rios, who has been actively involved both on and off campus
since she enrolled at CSUF four years ago, is a person who realizes
the priorities and challenges before her.
What Angie has going for her, besides the typical middle-of-theroad campaign promises other candidates always make but never
keep, is that she is indeed responsive to people.
What we need is a. . student government students can relate to ALL students.
There will be remarks to "ethnic lines" drawn in student campaigns. Hopefully, this won't result in racial fears for political
exploitation.
Angie's ideas and concerns stem from a more liberal perspectiv·e
than either the traditional or conservatt ve mentality of her opponents.
The Angie Rios for President approach is one geared towards
political re-evaluation, people, open minds, positive action, and follow-through .•• NOT some upper-class bourgeoisie-get-it-on-yourresume stunt.
We hope your concerns are similar to these and that. you will go to
the voting booths to show your support for a re-direction in student
- government - a vote for unity. VOTE TODAY!
UFW initiative for
farmwor_kers' rights
The following is Section I of the initiative the United Farm Workers
are petitioning to get on the June ballot.
SECTION 1. In enacting this legislation the people of the State of
California seek to ensure peace in the agricultural fields by guaranteeing justice for all agricultural workers and stability in labor
relations.
This enactment is intended to bri ng certainty ancl a sense of fair
play to a presently .unstable and potentially volatile condition in the
state. The people recognize that no la',_V in itself resolves social
injustice and economic di s locations,
' However, in the belie f the people affected_ desire a resolution to
this dispute and will make a sincere effort to work through the procedures established in this legislation, it is the hope of the people
that farm laborers, farmers, and the State of California will be
served by the provisions of this act.

He supported the United Farm
Workers effort to win justice.
This man is Tom Hayden,
Democrat running for U.S. Senat~.
Mr. Hayden helped launch the
student movement of the 60's.
Tom Hayden attended his first
Anti-War demonstration as a
student. He organized protests,
wrote books, taught classes,
made films.
He lobbied with politicians,
testified before congressional
committees, taught a class in the
House of Representatives.
Tom Hayden saw the war firsthand all over Indochina. He met
with officials of all sides, and
helped arrange the first release
of American pris~ners of war.
T~m Hayden was charged with
conspiracy for his anti-war actions. He went through a six
month trial and a three year review before being cleared of all
charges in the Chicago Seven
case.
Mr. Hayden's campaign is
receiving contributions mostly
from ·well known activists. John
Tunney, by contrast, 'is primarily
funded by corporated interests.
From March 1 through June 30,
1975, Tunney received $133,000
from 250 contributors. About 75%
of these were from large corporations.
Among the contributors was
Gallo Wines.
Tom Hayden's support rose in
the Field Poll from 13% to 16%
in August, while Senator Tunney's
support fell 10%.
Tom Hayden feels foreign policy must be fully open to the
public and not governed by the
CIA, Executive Branch elites,
and the multinational corporations they serve.
Employees should have a
greater say over working conditions, we should replace monotony with meaning, insure health
safety, and be protected :;i.gainst

Tom Hayden says, • A movement to make full employment

representahon ,n Senate topic for, EOP event
by Anna Noriega
"I was very unhappy with the
way they (Senate) were appropriating their money," said
Shelia Hiatt of her bid for the
Associated Students Senate position of Undeclared Majors.
Associated with the International Programs Committee, she
is the sole candidate for the position.
"International stude~ts are not
represented in the Senate," said
Ms. Hiatt. •They put in half a
million dollars in Fresno City
alone in one year."
This year the senate allocated
$1,900 to the International Programs Committee. ·
Ms. Hiatt is a sophomore International Relations major.
She became involved with
I.P.C. because "I feel that people
have stopped caring about each
other. America tends to be so
isolated, we get comfortable in
our own lives and we forget
about each other."
Ms. Hiatt is presently a T.A.
in an International Studies class
offered as an extension course:
The class deals with the "differences and similarities between
o_ther cultures, not just our own."
"Students who plan to study
abroad take this class," said Ms.
Hiatt. "They can find out what to
expect."
Her plans for the future include
studying abroad in France for a
year then touring Europe and the
Middle East.
"Hopeful-ly I will have a job
lined up with an embassy," she
said. She also plans to go to
George Washington University
and get her Master's degree • .
"I can't stress enough the importance of unity among the minorities_," said the 21-year-old
CSUF coed.
"We have fought separately
for so long. We have one baste
problem - we are all minorities, but if we unite we can become the majority.
•sure there are differences,"
Hiatt said, •but we are all human
beings with the same basic
needs."
Hiatt added that she had chosen
to run on the Angle Rios for
President slate because it consists of the minority.
She said she felt- they (Rios
slate) •were for. all people
equally down the line."

Last Saturday marked the

Voter Registration Project office, located at 430 N. Teilman,
Fresno.
Elected officials and current
candidates for public office attended the ceremonies which
kicked off a drive to register
Spanish-speaking citizens in
Fresno County.
The San Joaquin Voter· Registration Project is being funded
by the Southwest VoterRegistration Educational Project headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
· It's motto is •su voto es su
voz."
Project Director Luis Ambriz
said the project is aimed at educating people on the political
process and informing them on
their right to vote.
"The voter registration project," said Ambriz, "is a step in
the right direction."
Ambriz added that for too long
Chicanos have not been active in
the political arena, either by not
registering or failing to vote,
thus cancelling their registration.
He said the project will have a
significant impact on the political
profile of Fresno County.
•The reason for the impact,•
said Ambriz, "is thatin any of the
17 Fre·sno County communities,
100 votes or more will change
the outcome of any local election."
Ambriz said they plan to organize community leaders to
register persons locally in their
own community, using a grassroot level approach •
., Another method of registering
the Spanish-speaking population
is through tardeadas, dances, and
door-to-door campaigns," Ambriz said.
•The -project headquarters
needs persons to volunteer their
time to help organize these communities,• he said.
For more information, contact
Ambriz at 442-0182 or 292-5312.

Editorial
Angie wo~ld .bring
unification to gov't.
- Again, the time has come (pr students to vote people into campus
political positions. These elections are taking place today and tomorrow. Students are urged, as usual, to exercise their voting
rights.
students must consider at least two things. First, how stfould
student affairs be-handled? And, second, how should they be accomplished?
·
While it may seem obvious to many people wnich candidates La
Voz w9uld endorse, consideration must be given to the basic philosophy behind this endorsement.
·
What ls needed in the presidency is an individual whose approach
consists of a desire to bring together the many varied ideas, beliefs,
and desires on camp~s.
Angie Rios, who has been actively involved both on and off campus
since she enrolled at CSUF four years ago, is a person who realizes
the priorities and challenges before her.
What Angie has going for her, besides the typical middle-of-theroad campaign promises other candidates always make but never
keep, is that she is indeed responsive to people.
What we need is a. . student government students can relate to ALL students.
There will be remarks to "ethnic lines" drawn in student campaigns. Hopefully, this won't result in racial fears for political
exploitation.
Angie's ideas and concerns stem from a more liberal perspectiv·e
than either the traditional or conservatt ve mentality of her opponents.
The Angie Rios for President approach is one geared towards
political re-evaluation, people, open minds, positive action, and follow-through .•• NOT some upper-class bourgeoisie-get-it-on-yourresume stunt.
We hope your concerns are similar to these and that. you will go to
the voting booths to show your support for a re-direction in student
- government - a vote for unity. VOTE TODAY!
UFW initiative for
farmwor_kers' rights
The following is Section I of the initiative the United Farm Workers
are petitioning to get on the June ballot.
SECTION 1. In enacting this legislation the people of the State of
California seek to ensure peace in the agricultural fields by guaranteeing justice for all agricultural workers and stability in labor
relations.
This enactment is intended to bri ng certainty ancl a sense of fair
play to a presently .unstable and potentially volatile condition in the
state. The people recognize that no la',_V in itself resolves social
injustice and economic di s locations,
' However, in the belie f the people affected_ desire a resolution to
this dispute and will make a sincere effort to work through the procedures established in this legislation, it is the hope of the people
that farm laborers, farmers, and the State of California will be
served by the provisions of this act.

He supported the United Farm
Workers effort to win justice.
This man is Tom Hayden,
Democrat running for U.S. Senat~.
Mr. Hayden helped launch the
student movement of the 60's.
Tom Hayden attended his first
Anti-War demonstration as a
student. He organized protests,
wrote books, taught classes,
made films.
He lobbied with politicians,
testified before congressional
committees, taught a class in the
House of Representatives.
Tom Hayden saw the war firsthand all over Indochina. He met
with officials of all sides, and
helped arrange the first release
of American pris~ners of war.
T~m Hayden was charged with
conspiracy for his anti-war actions. He went through a six
month trial and a three year review before being cleared of all
charges in the Chicago Seven
case.
Mr. Hayden's campaign is
receiving contributions mostly
from ·well known activists. John
Tunney, by contrast, 'is primarily
funded by corporated interests.
From March 1 through June 30,
1975, Tunney received $133,000
from 250 contributors. About 75%
of these were from large corporations.
Among the contributors was
Gallo Wines.
Tom Hayden's support rose in
the Field Poll from 13% to 16%
in August, while Senator Tunney's
support fell 10%.
Tom Hayden feels foreign policy must be fully open to the
public and not governed by the

representahon ,n Senate topic for, EOP event
by Anna Noriega
"I was very unhappy with the
way they (Senate) were appropriating their money," said
Shelia Hiatt of her bid for the
Associated Students Senate position of Undeclared Majors.
Associated with the International Programs Committee, she
is the sole candidate for the position.
"International stude~ts are not
represented in the Senate," said
Ms. Hiatt. •They put in half a
million dollars in Fresno City
alone in one year."
This year the senate allocated
$1,900 to the International Programs Committee. ·
Ms. Hiatt is a sophomore International Relations major.
She became involved with
I.P.C. because "I feel that people
have stopped caring about each
other. America tends to be so
isolated, we get comfortable in
our own lives and we forget
about each other."
Ms. Hiatt is presently a T.A.
in an International Studies class
offered as an extension course:
The class deals with the "differences and similarities between
o_ther cultures, not just our own."
"Students who plan to study
abroad take this class," said Ms.
Hiatt. "They can find out what to
expect."
Her plans for the future include
studying abroad in France for a
year then touring Europe and the
Middle East.
"Hopeful-ly I will have a job
lined up with an embassy," she
said. She also plans to go to
George Washington University
and get her Master's degree • .
"I can't stress enough the importance of unity among the minorities_," said the 21-year-old
CSUF coed.
"We have fought separately
for so long. We have one baste
problem - we are all minorities, but if we unite we can become the majority.
•sure there are differences,"
Hiatt said, •but we are all human
beings with the same basic
needs."
Hiatt added that she had chosen
to run on the Angle Rios for
President slate because it consists of the minority.
She said she felt- they (Rios
slate) •were for. all people
equally down the line."

Voter Registration Project office, located at 430 N. Teilman,
Fresno.
Elected officials and current
candidates for public office attended the ceremonies which
kicked off a drive to register
Spanish-speaking citizens in
Fresno County.
The San Joaquin Voter· Registration Project is being funded
by the Southwest VoterRegistration Educational Project headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
· It's motto is •su voto es su
voz."
Project Director Luis Ambriz
said the project is aimed at educating people on the political
process and informing them on
their right to vote.
"The voter registration project," said Ambriz, "is a step in
the right direction."
Ambriz added that for too long
Chicanos have not been active in
the political arena, either by not
registering or failing to vote,
thus cancelling their registration.
He said the project will have a
significant impact on the political
profile of Fresno County.
•The reason for the impact,•
said Ambriz, "is thatin any of the
17 Fre·sno County communities,
100 votes or more will change
the outcome of any local election."
Ambriz said they plan to organize community leaders to
register persons locally in their
own community, using a grassroot level approach •
., Another method of registering
the Spanish-speaking population
is through tardeadas, dances, and
door-to-door campaigns," Ambriz said.
•The -project headquarters
needs persons to volunteer their
time to help organize these communities,• he said.
For more information, contact
Ambriz at 442-0182 or 292-5312.

Editorial
Angie wo~ld .bring
unification to gov't.
- Again, the time has come (pr students to vote people into campus
political positions. These elections are taking place today and tomorrow. Students are urged, as usual, to exercise their voting
rights.
students must consider at least two things. First, how stfould
student affairs be-handled? And, second, how should they be accomplished?
·
While it may seem obvious to many people wnich candidates La
Voz w9uld endorse, consideration must be given to the basic philosophy behind this endorsement.
·
What ls needed in the presidency is an individual whose approach
consists of a desire to bring together the many varied ideas, beliefs,
and desires on camp~s.
Angie Rios, who has been actively involved both on and off campus
since she enrolled at CSUF four years ago, is a person who realizes
the priorities and challenges before her.
What Angie has going for her, besides the typical middle-of-theroad campaign promises other candidates always make but never
keep, is that she is indeed responsive to people.
What we need is a. . student government students can relate to ALL students.
There will be remarks to "ethnic lines" drawn in student campaigns. Hopefully, this won't result in racial fears for political
exploitation.
Angie's ideas and concerns stem from a more liberal perspectiv·e
than either the traditional or conservatt ve mentality of her opponents.
The Angie Rios for President approach is one geared towards
political re-evaluation, people, open minds, positive action, and follow-through .•• NOT some upper-class bourgeoisie-get-it-on-yourresume stunt.
We hope your concerns are similar to these and that. you will go to
the voting booths to show your support for a re-direction in student
- government - a vote for unity. VOTE TODAY!
UFW initiative for

The following is Section I of the initiative the United Farm Workers
are petitioning to get on the June ballot.
SECTION 1. In enacting this legislation the people of the State of
California seek to ensure peace in the agricultural fields by guaranteeing justice for all agricultural workers and stability in labor
relations.
This enactment is intended to bri ng certainty ancl a sense of fair
play to a presently .unstable and potentially volatile condition in the
state. The people recognize that no la',_V in itself resolves social
injustice and economic di s locations,
' However, in the belie f the people affected_ desire a resolution to
this dispute and will make a sincere effort to work through the procedures established in this legislation, it is the hope of the people
that farm laborers, farmers, and the State of California will be
served by the provisions of this act.

He supported the United Farm

This man is Tom Hayden,
Democrat running for U.S. Senat~.
Mr. Hayden helped launch the
student movement of the 60's.
Tom Hayden attended his first
Anti-War demonstration as a
student. He organized protests,
wrote books, taught classes,
made films.
He lobbied with politicians,
testified before congressional
committees, taught a class in the
House of Representatives.
Tom Hayden saw the war firsthand all over Indochina. He met
with officials of all sides, and
helped arrange the first release
of American pris~ners of war.
T~m Hayden was charged with
conspiracy for his anti-war actions. He went through a six
month trial and a three year review before being cleared of all
charges in the Chicago Seven
case.
Mr. Hayden's campaign is
receiving contributions mostly
from ·well known activists. John
Tunney, by contrast, 'is primarily
funded by corporated interests.
From March 1 through June 30,
1975, Tunney received $133,000
from 250 contributors. About 75%
of these were from large corporations.
Among the contributors was
Gallo Wines.
Tom Hayden's support rose in
the Field Poll from 13% to 16%
in August, while Senator Tunney's
support fell 10%.
Tom Hayden feels foreign policy must be fully open to the

representahon ,n Senate topic for, EOP event
by Anna Noriega
"I was very unhappy with the
way they (Senate) were appropriating their money," said
Shelia Hiatt of her bid for the
Associated Students Senate position of Undeclared Majors.
Associated with the International Programs Committee, she
is the sole candidate for the position.
"International stude~ts are not
represented in the Senate," said
Ms. Hiatt. •They put in half a
million dollars in Fresno City
alone in one year."
This year the senate allocated
$1,900 to the International Programs Committee. ·
Ms. Hiatt is a sophomore International Relations major.
She became involved with
I.P.C. because "I feel that people
have stopped caring about each
other. America tends to be so
isolated, we get comfortable in
our own lives and we forget
about each other."
Ms. Hiatt is presently a T.A.
in an International Studies class
offered as an extension course:
The class deals with the "differences and similarities between
o_ther cultures, not just our own."
"Students who plan to study
abroad take this class," said Ms.
Hiatt. "They can find out what to
expect."
Her plans for the future include
studying abroad in France for a
year then touring Europe and the
Middle East.
"Hopeful-ly I will have a job
lined up with an embassy," she
said. She also plans to go to
George Washington University
and get her Master's degree • .
"I can't stress enough the importance of unity among the minorities_," said the 21-year-old
CSUF coed.
"We have fought separately
for so long. We have one baste
problem - we are all minorities, but if we unite we can become the majority.
•sure there are differences,"
Hiatt said, •but we are all human
beings with the same basic
needs."
Hiatt added that she had chosen
to run on the Angle Rios for
President slate because it consists of the minority.
She said she felt- they (Rios
slate) •were for. all people
equally down the line."
