3 May _O _ e_r_r_e_am P_ag_e 3 Forma change o pans OPNON Reviaizing campus ie The Oer Ream as a oo or encouraging paricipaion By Tracy Anne Burke magine a ype o journaism ha inspired ciizens o paricipae in heir communiies in a deepy persona and highy civic manner. magine he media as a iaison beween he Peope and hose in power and a oo wih which o encourage and make possibe com. muniy ineres compassion and paricipaion. magine communiy parnerships ha unie o discuss and proec communiy ineress and he good o he peope. magine reporers and communiy eaders wiing o mee ace-o-ace and one-on-one wih he Peope coming ogeher o creae souions. magine giving a voice o he ciizens o his counry. magine a hese hings happening righ here on he CSUMB campus wih he hep o he Oer Ream. sounds ike a near impossibe ea doesn i? Bu here is hope: civic journaism aims Q do a he beore menioned and more. So wha is civic journaism and how can he Oer Ream use i? Over he as cenury he media has grown in eaps and bounds. nundaed no ony by he sheer size o he mass media bu aso by he advancing probems o a consany growing sociey i has oen been repored ha many ciizens have rereaed rom pubic ie. Driven by marke orces and sensaionaisic approaches o mass ener/ eduainmen journaiss began noicing a decining rend in journaism in he eary 990s. Journaiss began observing ha he pubic oen disrused he media ooked o media or enerainmen raher han acs or useu inormaion cared ie abou wha was going on in heir civic ives and he overa ee o he pubic was ha o a disineresed dishearened and disrusing ciizenry. The concep o civic journaism was hen born. Civic pubic or communiy journaism is a somewha oosey deined concep ha has much o do wih journaism serving he pubic in order o increase civic paricipaion. is abou he poenia or making he cra o journaism an avenue or democraic service. Civic journaism is a movemen by journaiss o reconnec he Peope o he uncions and purposes o is governmen. Civic journaism is abou inking he ree press o democracy and uiizing he reedom o he press in order o hep creae a sociey o civic paricipans. Civic journaism has a pace here a CSUMB. Civic journaism is he pracice o geing he pubic re-invoved in he communiy a a civic eve. Civic journaiss aim o engage heir audiences in discussions abou communiy concerns and repor on souions raher han he usuay one-sided reporing o probems. n civic journaism i is he peope and no he expers who are given a voice and a chance a ixing whaever is wrong. This kind o journaism is abou orming communiy parnerships and encouraging civic paricipaion. CSUMB is a perec pace o pracice his new orm o journaism. is a ogica concusion ha communiy journaism woud have a pace a a schoo whos Vision Saemen demands ha he schoo "be disincive in serv- ing he diverse peope o Caiornia especiay he working cass and hisoricay undereducaed and ow-income popuaions." Civic journaism is a aboi geing back ino he communiy and earning o evenuay be a universa ciizen in his rapidy growing and changing goba viage. Acive paricipaion has o sar somewhere sma-scae and ied wih growing pains a irs bu he movemen has rea poenia. Geing peope reconneced o sar deaing wih he ruh o he way hings reay are seems ike a reay grea idea. is absouey necessary o he surviva o sociey and he CSUMB campus as a whoe o earn o see each oher eye-o-eye and repor on he ruh in order o igure ou wha is wrong and ix i. The Oer Ream c an and shoud be used as a oo by a members o he universiy- ha is is inended purpose. is via or a communiy o uiize a heir resources and CSUMB is no dieren. This campus and is popuaion are acing some serious chaenges rom mainaining is commimen o a shared Vision o ehica uses o Open Forum and everyhing ese rom housing crunches o ack o casses. n civic journaism i is he aim o begin coming up wih souions insead o jus highighing he probems. The Oer Ream can be a oo or reviaizing our campus paricipaion and a campus communiy members are encouraged o uiize every resource necessary in order o make he CSUMB campus he mos eecive i can be. Pracicing civic journaism in he Oer Ream means coninued commimen o reporing on he ruh o wha is happening on campus; he issues and evens and concerns ha are imporan o he peope who make up he campus communiy. The reporers and ediors o he paper woud coninue and increase heir commimen o eing he unod sories and conribuing o he we-being and produciviy o he communiy by re-connecing he peope wih he communiy. The ask ahead o he campus communiy is a chaenging one especiay i hey wan o keep heir newspaper. The Oer Ream is he abor o ove o a handu o sudens ha changes every ew years. The Oer Ream is burdened wih ie suppor rom he campus communiy as i is righ now. The schoo has a journaism emphasis bu no Journaism acuy o advise he paper nor educae hose ineresed in journaisic pracices inadequae room or newspaper members o mee and/ or produce he paper and a consany changing ineup o wriers and ediors. The paper has survived despie his bu i is imporan or he communiy o igh o keep heir newspaper aive and imporan and hepu o he communiy members i aims o serve. The Oer Ream and he CSUMB campus need one anoher and i is imporan or he paper o coninue o grow and adap wih he imes in order o be he mos eecive i can be. Civic journaism is reay jus a concep reminding communiies ha he ime has come o sove probems and no jus ak abou hem. Wha ime is i a CSUMB? By James Thomas Green CSUMB s Suden Voice Work Group wi hos he "200 Spring Fing" on Saurday May rom.8:00 p.m. o Midnigh a he CSUMB Universiy Cener. The charge wi be $2.00.

The even wi eaure a ive band proessiona DJ and dress is eiher orma or casua. An angry conroversy eruped on May 8 when a pos made o Open Forum annouieed"graduaes Ba has been CANCELLED." This resued in an immediae angry oucry among many sudens. Suden Voice Evens The Workgroup headed by he Suden Voice Evens Senaor has usuay organized he semi-ormas which have been hed a he end o each semeser or he pas ew years. The ougoing evens senaor is Cenan Pirani and he incoming evens senaor is Renee neise. Neiher responded o an emaied reques or commen on he issue o he changes in he 200 Spring Forma even. Sudens Aisa Parsons and Rika Yamasaki oiciay ook over he paning o he even on Apri Whie Parsons and Yamasaki are boh members o he Residen Ha Associaion (RHA) RHA did no have any oicia roe in panning he even. According o Parsons "Aer hearing he even was no being panned Rika approached a member o Suden Voice Work Group o inquire abou pariioning he even o someone ese in hopes o saving he even." Parsons wen on o say "Unorunaey we did no have enough ime o pu ogeher he orma so we ried o give sudens somehing un jus o end he year wih." According o Ma Krischer CSUMB s Suden Aciviies and Career Deveopmen Direcor here is ie dierence beween he "Spring Fing" and wha was panned as he "Spring Forma" oher han he ie and he ac ha he even wi be hed on campus raher han o campus. Parsons echoed Krischer by saying o he dierences beween a "Spring Fing" and a "Spring Forma" "There is no rea dierence beween he wo evens excep he ie and he ocaion have changed. nsead o hosing he even o campus we were orced o bring he even o campus in order o savage i. Acuay mos o he same enerainmen wi be presen his year ha was presen as year. The Spring Fing wi have a DJ casino gaming and a ive band." Parsons wen on o assure he ashion conscious "As or he Spring Fing aire you can wear whaever you wan. You can come comorabe or orma. So a o you who are dying o ge dressed up in orma aire heres your chance. Bu i you wan o remain ow key has good oo." According o Krischer CSUMB has never had a sric "Forma" even. Theyve aways been semi-orma evens where peope who wan o dress up in gowns and uxedos can do so and hose who wan o come in casua aire can do so as we. This is no he ony ime his ype o even has been hed a he Universiy Cener. According o Krischer mos o-campus ocaions demanded ees which exceeded he enire $5000 budge or he even. The mos reasonabe pace o hos he even o-campus he Nava Pos Graduae Schoo (NPGS) which hosed as years Spring Forma waned $2000 simpy o hos he even. n addiion due o some CSUMB suden misconduc as year NPGS required CSUMB o provide a eas hiry acuy/ sa chaperones. Aer Krischer pu ou a ca or vouneers ony eigh acuy/ sa sepped orward or chaperone duy. Thus here was no choice bu o hod he even on campus i i was o be hed a a. Regarding he percepion conroversy Parsons saed "We undersand he rusraions caused by he ag ine on Open Forum which read Graduaes Ba has been CANCELED bu his was no an accurae porraya o wha occurred.

He od he audience ha Mexico is he answer o heir issues and heir own probems and said ha he Zapaisas are ony a sma par o making changes in he word. ". No he igh bu ony he icker.
