Mrs. Lawrence to my list of yard and husband as "old China hands" accompanying him on the journey. Why? The document written by james Maguire says, "to honor one of the University's most generous donors and long-time Bronco supporter." Was it not enough to honor her by naming an entire building after her? In attempts to follow this paper trail I learned that a complaint was filed by a community member who did not see a purpose to the renaming to Cesar Chavez Lane that was read by both the president of the university and by Morrison herself. Days later, Morrison filed a complaint directly with Kustra and tail-between-Iegs, he quickly asked that someone file a name change request. Cal!s to the Morrison Center have revealed that the name change has already been made official.

• M . Why was this kept so secret? I K . Why didn't the persons involved in~he,orig\nal name change get a chance to debate this renaming?' Why weren't we told? The answers to these questions reveal a much harsher truth: it's not the students of this university that matter, it's the money. It can be assumed with great confidence that Morrison threatened Kustra with monetary means so that the street name would be changed without opposition. Kustra then choose to involve only a few people in this process, hoping that we wouldn't catch wind, oftheir deceit. In Maguire's document requesting the name change he writes, "Dr, Kustra has asked that I expedite the formalization of the renaming to appropriately honor Ms. Morrison." If this renaming was truly about honoring Ms. Morrison, why was it kept secret? Why was there no unveiling ceremony? Why hasn't anyone even heard of this? Oddly enough, the paperwork filed to change the street' name was dated 3-23-07, the last day of Cesar Chavez week, coincidence? We know better. Calls and e-mails to the office of the president and to the Morrison Center have unfortunately been ignored. This situation is a clear demonstration oCthe classism that exists on this campus.

To match or coordinate- that is the question

BY SHEREE WHITELEY Culture Columnist

It's often said that-opposites attract. I believe this theory to be true _ or somewhat true.
