Monday, 5/5/97 Letters
Campaign not about on-campus pub This letter is written in
response to Ms. Sohn’s April 30 Viewpoint article ("Government
faceless in eyes of students"). Ms. Sohn asked us to "take the time
to educate yourself about all these parties," although it was clear
that Ms. Sohn had not done so herself. She portrayed herself as
being informed in regards to our platform, when in fact, her own
ignorance prevailed. For the purpose of clarification, Ms. Sohn
stated the focus of our campaign is a pub on campus; this is
inaccurate at best, as our campaign actually focuses on such issues
as: restructuring of ASUCLA, the need for multi-cultural exchange,
and increased campus security. We also focus on the increased
support of pre-professional groups, and the establishment of a
health resource booth in the heart of Ackerman, although Ms. Sohn
neglected these issues as well. We feel that if Ms. Sohn is going
to represent herself as an informational source to the community,
that she at least take the time to inform herself in the future. If
you would like to acquaint yourself with what we really stand for,
we urge you to refer to our Web site at:

she would not have presented such inaccurate information in her
article. Christopher M. Hecht Presidential candidate, Bruin Vision
