Supporters of the California proposition, which include the University of California Board of Regents and California Gov. Pete Wilson, contend the initiative is a return to the true concept of civil rights, which was enacted to prevent discrimination and preferential treatment based on any race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, according to the organization behind the CCRI. Among those who opposed the initiative and questioned its legality were civil rights activist Rosa Parks and retired General Colin Powell.

It was this commitment to helping those in need, coupled with his conservative approach, that made Dr. Lublin think his speech was every bit as "New Democrat" Clinton has claimed himself to be. "I was struck by the fact that his speech was really a New Democrat speech," Lublin said. 1 think his broader goal was outlining his place in the history books," he said, "and [to give] history the opportunity to look upon his presidency kindly," Lublin said about the overall goal of President Clinton's fifth State of the Union address. r GAMMA a r CUt OMEt MRAWLA7 NMStSTl ARP TARA IBER ERIK/ ALINI SUSANNE ARK CAROLS LOUGH KRISTE NNELL LIZ 1 ITCH CARRIE I >BEN ANNA GREER LENNA ERS ANGIE S< HAMER HELEN TE( hi ESS ALLISON ' HILL BRTTTON TSEOS JULIE T1S CORTNEY EDfTZ RICHELLI , discussion activist, rounds out the list of forum participants.
