I have learned that doing all that I did last year is not that fun, but very necessary for anyone in college to go through. I am a Resident Advisor this year, and having a position in which I am there for all of my residents, I have had to look within myself to find strength and confidence.so that I can be there for others. I am grateful for this self search because I am a lot happier than I was at this same time last year. Now that I have this newfound happiness, it does not mean that I have not stayed clear of all the stress in my life. I am working as an RA, as well as having an off campus job. I also work at the housing office and here at the Fog horn. This does not even count my 12 units that I am taking this se mester, and my close friends. It is stressful trying to be everywhere at once, especially when knowing that there could be utter dissapointment ifyou do not keep on top of everything. We are coming up to the last is sue very soon, and I just want to take some time to thank eveyone for looking at the side bar every week to take a peek into my mind. I also wanted to thank everyone here at the Foghorn for being great and amazing. Thanks to my resi dents for being hysterical and won derful. Thanks to the GAP for my employment and for enslaving small children to capitalize on the American economy.

The reason forth e gath HAT IS RtBCB? ering was to celebrate the life of one of California's greatest heroes. Cesar Chavez was a man who spent his life seeking equality and justice for the working classes of California's Central Valley.Those who championed his cause and the reforms he made, have been pe titioning for years for a holiday to honor his life. After a long and hard-fought battle in the State Legislature they have finally achieved their goal. Friday, March 30 was the first-ever statewide holiday memorializing Cesar Chavez. Chavez's spirit for his cause was re flected in the festival and those who spoke and performed in it. From the chorus of South Af rican singers soothing the crowd with their harmonies to the hip-hop groups making noise for the cause, there was something for everyone. An eclectic mix of Green Party re cruiters, Socialists and Labor activists lined the parks edges punctuated by hot grills serving traditional Mexican fare. Donations were be ing taken to help make Chavez's birthday a na tional holiday and everyone was giving what they could to help. The spirit of Cesar was alive in these people and throughout the day chants could be heard above the music proclaiming his maxim "Si se Puede!" ("We can do it!
