Who are your real friends? Who do you go out with on the weekends?

Baha’i Club representative and in ternational studies junior Anisa Newman said: “Because people expressed their views, feelings and hearts, it [the Race Unity Forum] was a success. It showed that it means something to them [the au dience and panelists].” USC Academic Skills Director Jim Monroe came to the forum out of his own interest and said he was pleased with the faculty turnout. “Three or four of my colleagues are here tonight, which is a fairly decent rep resentation of the faculty,” Monroe said. Newman agreed that the turnout was greater than expected and that the qual ity of questions were important and well thought-out. “There was an honest exchange of opinion. As long as people are speaking honestly, it helps,” Aude Fisher said. Journalism senior Duke Taylor said he was pleased with the forum. “I have a more optimistic outlook [on die future of race relations],” he said. “We can make a change, whether as an individual or a group. We won’t be able to grow if we don’t,” Taylor said. Newman said the Baha’i Club will sponsor another forum next semester on the equality of women and men, anoth er principle of the Baha’i faith. 0 Practice from page 1 have been great; however, I feel sorry for them because we haven’t been able to pull through any wins this year.
