187 promotes pride in America
Immigrants should not expect to receive the benefits of being an American while swearing their allegiance elsewhere. Prop 187 will simply set the record straight.

L.A. students stage protest of Prop. 187
By Kim Smith
City Editor
Students from more than 30 middle and secondary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, including local Manual Arts High School, walked out of classes Wednesday morning to protest Proposition 187.
Approximately 500 students from Manual Arts, waving signs and Mexican flags and chanting, "No 187," marched from their school to USC, then on to Jefferson High School, where they joined other protestors for a rally.
"People were trying to organize this before," said Agustin Velazquez, a student at Manual Arts. "They thought people weren't into it, but I guess they were wrong."
The students walked out to protest the proposed legislation, which would deny health care and public schooling to the children of illegal immigrants.
"Everyone harasses us, they think we don't want to do nothing," said Yolanda Sanchez, another Manual Arts student. "But it's not true, we want to study. We're like everyone, we want to be educated. We just want the chance."
"We're trying to stick together, to help the people without papers," said Sandra Diaz. "All of the Latino (students) did it."
According to the students, Prop. 187 has been discussed at their school for several weeks.
"There was an assembly before at Manual Arts,
• but 1 guess people weren't happy with it," Velazquez said. "A lot of the teachers . . . were talking about how they wouldn't turn in illegal immigrants in their classrooms.
"They've been talking at school about walkouts, telling us to be calm," he said. "But I guess they got tired of waiting and spoke out today."

Senate praises DPS for efficiency
Senators look to end disputes and refocus objectives with new mandates
By Laura Lanchester
Staff Writer
At the same time it rewarded the acts of others, the Student Senate reprimanded itself at last night's meeting and proposed a new policy enforcing accountablity.
Department of Public Safety Chief Steve Ward and Deputy Chief Bob Taylor were the recipients of the Senate administrative awards for the month of October. They were praised for
working well with the senate, particularly in helping with the security service quality and suggestion forms.
"We're happy to support your efforts and activities this year," Ward said. "I think it's great. And I don't look at it as just for me because I rely on everybody else to get the job done. So, it is appreciated and I will pass it along to all the members of the department,"
Security affairs chair Imaad
Zuberi worked closely with Taylor on the suggestion forms and gave him a great deal of the credit.
"If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be any forms," Zuberi said.
"I know I can call on DPS and they won't give me a run around. (Taylor and Ward) have been so good — they cut the bureaucratic garbage, and every department should be like DPS," he said.
''Working with Imaad has been a pleasure," Taylor said. "I do what I do not because I want to receive any awards, I do what I do because of a basic sense of service. It's nice to know that that's appreciated, and I don't see this award as a stopping point."
After the awards presentation, President Jimmy Moye remarked on the problems that have faced the senate this year.
