Administration shows disrespect for students
I am insulted by the actions the administration took while infringing
upon our civil rights. I am, of course, speaking of the unnecessary infiltration
of the event held by the Campus Peace and Civil Liberties Coalition on
November 10, 2004.
Look at Fresno State’s Mission Statement:
“It strives to develop a community founded upon mutual respect and
shared efforts, in which individuals can communicate openly and work together.”
This only proves the lack of respect the administration has for its students
and faculty. If there were any concerns that the administration may have
had, the most sensible and honest thing that could have been done is approach
the organization’s faculty adviser andthe organization itself.
Not only have the actions that have occurred caused my disrespect for
the administration, but they have also left me with a feeling of nausea.
Fresno State’s Vision Statement is to:
“Develop an engaged and diverse student learning community with
graduates who...are committed to the principles of tolerance and freedom.”
OK, so they want their graduates to commit to “the principles of
tolerance and freedom,” but won’t commit to those principles
themselves?
Its strikes me as hypocritical that Fresno State should strive to mold
its students under these philosophies and then violate the rights of a
student organization that peacefully strives to protect the civil liberties
of humans.
It’s sad to say that instead of graduating next May with a feeling
of having experienced freedom of expression and support from my future
alma mater, I will leave with resentment.

More pick-up lines for Pandora's box
Wow! Those were some horrible pick-up lines. I feel bad for every lady
who has heard any one of the lines from Monday’s “A Pandora’s
Box of worst case scenario pick-up lines.”
I'd like to give Nyrie and Jenna some pick-up lines that I know they can't
turn down. As for those men out there having a hard time picking up on
the ladies, here are some lines that will help you shine with the ladies:
• Excuse me, did you eat Lucky Charms this morning? (No) Well, you
look magically delicious.
• Did you get a ticket today? (No. why?) Because you have FINE written
all over you.
• If I could redo the alphabet I would put U and I together.
• So which is easier? Getting into those jeans or getting out of
them? (You deserves a smack across the face if you use this one).
• Does your dad work for Snapple? Because you are made from the
best stuff on earth.
• Can I check the tag of your shirt? (After looking at the tag)
Yup, Made in Heaven.
• Do you have 35 cents? My mom told me to call her when I find the
girl of my dreams.
• My friends over there bet I wouldn't be able to start a conversation
with the most beautiful girl at the party. Wanna buy some drinks with
their money?
• You look like the kinda girl that's heard every line there is,
so which ones will actually work on you?
