REMINDER FOR ALL REGISTERED/REGISTERING VOTERS: The deadline for
registering for the spring primary is Friday, Feb. 26. In addition
to voting in your selected party’s presidential nomination race,
various ballot initiatives will be put to the test.
Students must demonstrate their power by voting in large numbers
to show politicians that they must address students’ needs! If you
want to vote in the March 26 primary, be sure you are registered to
vote! Each registered voter receives a confirmation from the
registrar recorder’s office confirming their registration. If you
have registered in the past but have not received such a card,
please call the local registrar of voters’ office at (310) 462-2748
to confirm that you will be eligible to vote in the March
primary.
Also, the March primary is on the 26th. If you check your
calendar, you’ll see that it’s on the Tuesday of spring break. If
you will not be at the address you registered under at this time,
request an absentee ballot. Watch for it in the mail, or when you
make that call to the registrar’s office to confirm your
registration, ask how you can obtain an absentee ballot.
If you still want to register to vote, stop by the external vice
president’s office at Kerckhoff 404. Empower yourself to preserve
your right to an education!

Do you know who El Hajj Malik El Shabbazz (Malcolm X) is?
America lost one of the greatest human rights leaders on Feb. 21,
1965. Yes, El Hajj Malik El Shabbazz died 30 years ago, and I am
very upset that nobody from the Daily Bruin wrote anything about
the life of a real man, a great African American – brother Malcolm.
I wonder if he was purposely neglected.
America needs to know and recognize the self-respect,
self-reliance and economic empowerment that El Hajj Malik El
Shabbazz returned to his beautiful black sisters and brothers. "By
any means necessary," white America needs to know what El Hajj
Malik El Shabbazz’s struggle was about: JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR
BLACK PEOPLE AND ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR IN AMERICA.
