My First Protest

Avy Malik, 15, at his first protest.
By Avy Mallik

“1- 2 - 3 - 4, WE DON’T WANT NO RACIST WAR!” These loud, forceful words of protest (the double negative didn’t seem to bother anyone) were followed by: “5 -6 -7 -8, STOP THE VIOLENCE, STOP THE HATE!”

I was in a rather unique position, marching amongst hundreds of people down Mission Street in San Francisco, many of them being fellow students. On any other Saturday morning, I would be lounging in bed and fending off my mom, who was under the severely warped notion that I should spend my weekend doing more productive things. But this Saturday wasn’t like any other Saturday.

Floss Talk: No More War

By Queena Lu

A huddle of people began to run away from the loud, hot, burning explosion, while a little girl was just standing in a corner crying. She was scared and it seemed she had lost her family. Suddenly, a big cluster of cloudy dust came rushing through the mass of people. They couldn’t see where they’re going, they tripped over bodies, falling on top of each other.

Don’t Repeat the Hate:
Yuriko Nagano thinks the racial violence occuring in this country are backed in part by stereotypes reinforced in American movies.

Emil Amok: The Role of His Life.
The uncle of the APIA/Beatnik arts community, the most prolific character actor Victor Wong passed away recently in Locke, Calif.

Lead Editorial:
War — Not the Answer.
Killing of the innocent is an abominable and inevitable part of war. Here in America, it is our youth who have the most to lose in the event of war.

Letters to the Editor:
Not One to Beg; Starting to Roll; Must Not Repeat History; Long Lost Friend.
