Graduate student representatives from the University of
California Student Association and the National Association for
Graduate and Professional Students continue to build support for
current legislation on making academic fellowships tax exempt.

After heated debate among Graduate Student Association members
about sharing a pub with undergraduates, a new resolution in
support of an on-campus pub was approved at their meeting Wednesday
night.

Graduate students said they continue to experience problems with
their university-issued medical insurance even after their student
government has brought the issue to campus health officials.

A resolution in support of an on-campus pub was withdrawn at the
Graduate Student Association Forum meeting Wednesday night.
The resolution was withdrawn because GSA members want the pub
space to be available for their social gatherings and events
without undergraduates being present.

Graduate students may not see relief anytime soon from high rent
in surrounding areas and delays in housing construction, which
affect their studies and even whether they choose to come to
UCLA.

A rally headlined by national gay rights activist Candace
Gingrich kicked off National Coming Out Week in Meyerhoff Park
Monday.
The week-long effort is designed to provide a welcoming
environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students to
reveal their sexual orientation to the public, and to increase
awareness of the LGBT community as a whole.

Construction ““ it’s what the dorms, Bruin Walk,
intermural field and The Anderson School at UCLA all have in
common.
Anderson students, staff and faculty trying to make it in the
competitive business world will have something else to think about
besides the plunging economy this year ““ three construction
projects currently underway in the area surrounding The Anderson
School will make their journey to work or school everyday a bit
more of a challenge.

More than 150 colleges across the nation searching for
prospective graduate student applicants will showcase their
programs today at the Graduate and Professional Schools Information
Fair.

Students can expect abundant obstacles on their way to class
because of construction projects underway at UCLA during the
2002-03 academic school year.
The Intramural Field Parking Structure, with a projected
completion date in August 2003, has blocked off a large portion of
the Bruin Walk area adjacent to Pauley Pavilion.

Though many high school faculty see standardized testing as a
necessity for college admission, many high school students feel
overwhelmed with the series of exams they must face.
