There, the Senate gave the club wom- en’s lacrosse team funding to go to its national championship in Scottsdale, Ariz. While voting for the funding, Sen. Ben Fisher told members of the team to “bring your birth certificates,” a reference to Arizona’s recently passed immigration law, which critics have said will lead to racial profiling. “I believe that was highly disrespect- ful,” Castaneda said after the comment, at which many senators and audience members laughed. Fisher said the comment was intended as a joke criticizing the Arizona law, which he, like Castaneda, opposes. “The whole reason for me not going to tonight’s Senate meeting was not Fisher,” Castaneda said. “It was the climate that allows things like this to be said.” Fisher has since apologized to Cas- taneda, both senators said, but when Castaneda failed to appear at Wednesday night’s meeting, Fisher openly character- ized Castaneda’s reaction as “stupid,” and many other senators declared anger or frustration with his decision, attempting unsuccessfully to reach him by phone. ivar vong | photo editor When it became apparent Castane- Students wander down East 13th Avenue amid vendors on Wednesday during the ASUO Street Faire.
