CalSERVE blows coffee corn
reports the Daily Cal.
CalSERVE senators backed a bill opposing Proposition 54, an October ballot initiative that would ban all public agencies from collecting information on race and ethnicity. The bill "strongly urges" UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Berdahl to send out an e-mail that encourages students to vote and to come out against Proposition 54. Berdahl has already come out in opposition to the initiative.
That's right! Encourage the Chancellor hijack the student information system to push a personal opinion! What a great idea! Why, I'm sure they agree just as much when it comes to his opinions on protests! !!! (By the way, if the Chancellor does go ahead and do such a thing, I'm going to kick him in the nuts, but only metaphorically, because I'm not entirely sure he has them)
Daily Californian Editor in Chief Eric Schewe implored the ASUC Senate to support the newspaper against the Store Operations Board current lease proposal. The proposed lease mandates the publication create a code of ethics for student review.
Free speech, with our approval. Go steal our newspaper! Despite all my complaining about the Daily Cal, I stand by them 100% on this issue. If the Daily Cal gets further despined by a code of ethics which will say, effectively, "We shall never say anything bad about a black person, ever, ever, ever," (which is already the policy, apparently) it'll be a sad day for "Independent Student Newspapers", at the very least. Tell those SOBs at the SOB to get bent.
