Editorial: Homecoming Potential
Last year, UC Berkeley reinstated Homecoming Week, seven days packed full of spirit-raising events for students, alumni and families. It is an effort to create memories of college that students won't forget and alumni will want to keep coming back to. Ideally, this will foster school spirit and alumni giving at UC Berkeley. In only its second year as a full-fledged week, the organizers have thus far been successfully mobilizing students and alumni for a common cause-UC Berkeley.

Solidarity Within the ASUC
As of this year, the population on campus is 54 percent female, yet its governing body, involved in almost all student activities on campus, is only 40 percent female. One questions the ideology behind a representative government when representation is limited to a certain demographic.

Letters to the Editor
I am writing in response to Tuesday's article on UCLA Chancellor Carnesale's proposal to more than double student fees at UC Berkeley and UCLA-effectively privatizing both institutions ("UCLA Chancellor Proposes Doubling Fees," Oct. 12).
