Speaks out


What do you think about the effort to recall Governor Gray
Davis? Dan Norton

Fifth-year, microbiology

“I don’t really know what Davis has done (to help
California). Common sense says if he is doing a really bad job, he
needs to go out. Cutting the school budget helps the state budget,
but there is always someone who suffers, like us (as UCLA
students).” Andrew Hsu

First-year, undeclared

“(The recall) should definitely happen. Davis messed up
education ““ he misallocated funding. That’s the main
reason. California schools aren’t good to start with.
Tampering with schools is going to have a domino effect. It will
cause the degradation of everything else.” Jeannette
Castro

Fourth-year, philosophy and women’s studies

“I think it’s unnecessary. I think the referendum
thing in California gets out of control. I’m not happy with
how Davis handled the budget cuts, but getting rid of the governor
isn’t going to help.” Jeff Wilcox

Fourth-year, chemical engineering

“I’m not pro-Davis, but I’m not
pro-working-around- the-system-to-get- him-out-of-office. If you
start to revamp the system now, what does that mean later when we
get someone else we don’t like? I can fault Davis, but I can
fault a lot of other people too.”
