This year's forum is titled "Dreaming On," and it recalls Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous dream — the dream for a nation where "all men are created equal" — to better contextualize the struggles of justice and inequality that still exist in America today. Vargas, who moved to the U.S. from the Philippines as a 12-year-old boy in 1993, is not a documented citizen, and received national attention for disclosing so in a personal essay that was published by New York Times Magazine in June 2011. His essay "My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant" revealed the realities of undocumented life: no driver's license, no social security, no rights. Drawing from his own personal history, Vargas will speak to USF students about the importance of immigration reform and his campaign, "Define American," which seeks to elevate the immigration discourse and inspire action in all citizens.

Here, Moore and Leslie Guevara (right) celebrate with Vargas (center) on his gradua- tion from San Francisco State University. , University Members Respond to Foghorn Crime Report ALLISON FAZIO StaffWriter Last week, the Foghorn reported that students were not notified by official University email of a crime that occurred on campus. This week, the problem still remains for some students. Director of the Department of Public Safety Daniel Lawson stated that the oversight is currently being investigated. "It may have something to do with spam filters," he said. Lawson said the director of e- communications advised Public Safety that an email regarding the robbery on Anza St. was sent out to all undergraduate and graduate students on September 13 at 2:01 p.m. A student survey the Foghorn conducted for last week's article, however, indicated that only four out of 37 student participants received an email from the Public Safety Bulletin. Typically, all members of the university are notified about on-campus crimes via their USF Dons email accounts, in accordance with the Clery Act 20 U,S.C. § 1092(f) — a federal act which, according to its provisions, "requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses." "[The director of e-communica- tions] is currently researching why so many students did not receive the notice," said Lawson. He later added: "This is good that the issue came up. We will need to solve this problem." According to a more recent Foghorn survey (see page 3) a majority of students have not received an email notification to this day. Still, 23 out of 41 survey responders indicated that they were aware of the on-campus crime at the time ofthe survey. Of those 23, more than half indicated the Foghorn as their primary source for the information; nine responses indicated "friends," while one indicated the public safety email. Continued on page 2 Law School Professors Explore Constitutionality of NSA Surveillance Program RITA MCNEIL StaffWriter In celebration of Constitution Day, Professors at USF's Law School held a lecture Sept. 17 to hone in on the primary constitutional rights relevant to the National Security Agency (NSA) Surveillance program. Last January, Edward Snowden, previously an NSA employee, exposed the surveillance program by way of Laura Poitras, a freelance journalist and filmmaker, according to the New York Times. He leaked thousands of confidential government documents to Poitras following his initial contact with her via encrypted emails, the New York Times reports. Snowden uncovered two main ways the NSA is conducting surveillance in the United States: acquisition of a meta database (information about information) and acquisition of information about any telephone calls that was made or received in the United States, according to Susan Freiwald_a_. professor at USF Law School. Professors Daivd Greene, and Robert Elias joined Freiwald in discussing whether or not this new program is justified by the constitution. They came to the consensus that what the NSA is doing is likely unconstitutional. Students and faculty alike find the NSA Surveillance Program to be unjust. Taylor Jackson, senior religious studies major weighs in on the issue: "Personally, I agree with Snowden. I think the American people have basic civil liberties that were violated." Freiwald says, "The NSA is supposed to be engaged in fighting terrorism and naming surveillance of people abroad." She thinks they are justified in gathering information to prevent terrorism, but she expressed concern that the NSA is gathering so much domestic information. Freiwald explained the NSA is surveilling a number of communications content such as email, so- What's the USF's Cofltt Garden? cial networking, video, chat, photos, and any other stored information. Freiwald spoke to the issue of surveillance in terms of the 4th amendment, which says that "no person shall be subject to unreasonable search or seizure by the government." This translates into the NSA context because by having access to this information, they are intruding in on our privacy, according to Freiwald. She thinks "they really should only do this if they have good reason to believe that you are involved in criminal activity." David Greene, who teaches classes on the 1st Amendment, says that the government's position on the issue is "they aren't really doing anything wrong by collecting the information." The only case in which Greene thinks this type of surveillance is justified is "when they're trying to foil terrorist plots [because] it's good to be able to notice patterns of communication." Since the NSA has access to information about social media interactions, they have the ability to track anonymous posts, such as ones on the USF Confessions Facebook page. "It's not like there's anything on the USF Confessions page that would be valuable to the U.S. government, but just the fact that they can access anyone's personal information or private posts without their consent is outrageous," said Hadi Sherazi, junior Kinesiology major. Including his career as a professor, Greene works with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a non-profit organization "working to protect fundamental civil liberties, including privacy and freedom of expression," according to the organization's home page. Greene and his colleagues at EFF have filed a lawsuit against the NSA on behalf of numerous organizations such as the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, Green Peace, and ' multiple gun rights organizations. Greene states, "Disclosing or removing protection of anonymity can chill the practice of first amendment laws." 21 M) FULTON STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94117 NEWSROOM
