Overview gallery Celebrate Cesar Chavez

Thursday may be the last time Texans celebrate Cesar Chavez Day if state Republicans have their way. Cesar Chavez Day, celebrated in Texas on March 31, commemorates the famous Mexican-Amer- ican worker rights and civil rights activist. It is celebrated in 10 states, according to the Cesar E. Chavez Holiday organization, and is an optional holiday in Texas. Rep. Tryon Lewis, R-Odessa, filed a bill this ses- sion that would eliminate Cesar Chavez Day and replace it with Texas Hispanic Heritage Day, which would observe “the battle for independence from Spain in Mexico, including the area now known as Texas.” The proposed holiday would be celebrated on Sept. 16. Eliminating Cesar Chavez Day, a day that cele- brates one of the most prominent and influential Mexican-Americans, and instead creating a holi- day ultimately celebrating the great state of Texas, is hardly a replacement. Just what is Lewis’ justification? “[Cesar Chavez’] connection to Texas was ephemeral at best, and if you think of all the Texans of all ethnicities who have made significant impacts, who are not recog- nized, it’s just always odd to me that Cesar Chavez was,” he told The El Paso Times. Texas is hardly lacking in holidays that celebrate the state of Texas, and based on Lewis’ thoughts on the topic, he’s much less interested in celebrat- ing Hispanic culture than simply making a political power play by tying up the Legislature with a point- less bill. We hope legislators focus on the more per- tinent issues facing the Legislature this session and that Thursday will not be the state’s last celebration of Cesar Chavez.

Cybersafety at UT

Every day, we hear stories about people who have had their credit and investments destroyed within even just a few hours of a deviant individual stealing and manipulating their personal information. While you are online, even if you are operating under a user- name, a driven identity thief can find ways to access your full name and email, and from there they can find information about you online through popular social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook and even Myspace. With this information, an individual can build a profile of who you are and what you do, and use it to try and gain access to your private informa- tion and identity. Similarly, we hear from friends, and even friends of friends, about people who are denied a job, internship or scholarship due to information or pictures posted on their Facebook profiles. To ensure the cybersafety of the students at UT, the Student Organization Safety Board is hosting an event tonight to bring information to students about these rapidly-growing topics. The event will feature a panel of experts and an employee from Google, providing a vital learning experience for any college student in this age of instant information. The program will aim at empowering students with the tools and know-how to stay safe online while maximizing the utility of the Internet and social networks. Topics will range from networking in the workplace to having a hirable social network pro- file to maintaining your privacy and even preventing reCyCle sUBMiT a FiriNg liNe identity theft.
