| San Francisco FOGHORN THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO APRIL 18,2002 WWW.FOCHORNONLINE.COM VOLUME 98, ISSUE 17 ASUSF to Tree Palestine' Protest Shut Down AS Express

Jessica Robles FOGHORN STAFFWRITER Uninformed and misrepre­ sented, many students are sur­ prised that their opinions were not sought prior to a recent decision by the University of San Francisco Space Committee to shut-down AS" Express in favor of building new lounges. AS Express, which opened as a student-run store in the fall of 1993, will be removed this summer with the construction of new lounge space. A member of the Space Com­ mittee and ASUSF President Carlos Menchaca said that although Space Committee members are students, no other USF students were polled, surveyed, or otherwise contacted in any way that would assess to what extent the student body might agree or disagree with the decision to close AS Express. "Polling did come up [at meet­ ings]," Menchaca said,"but it never happened." The issue of whether or not to keep AS Express was shared with the ASUSF senate, "but not the student body," he said. The Space Committee, which SHADI RAKIMl/FOOHORN orchestrated the discussions that Over 200 people gathered in Harney Plaza for Justice in Exile's "Free Palestine" protest on Tuesday, April 16. A march followed the rally. lead to this decision, was created "We're doing this for solidarity with the Palestinian people," Paul Aranas, Justice in Exile president, said.

It's never easier to see than in the business establish­ ments in the separate districts of San Francisco. No matter where you go the diverse make-up of the city's inhabit­ ants is reflected in the Thai and Mexi­ can restaurants, English antique and Jamaican reggae stores, all subsisting one right next to the other.
