Constitution Day to be
Commemorated
at Cal State Fullerton
September 16, 2005 :: No. 23
Cal State Fullerton will get an early
start on celebrating Constitution Day with activities beginning
Friday, Sept. 16 — one day ahead of the actual date
the U.S. Constitution was signed, back in 1787.
Two videotaped presentations by National Public
Radio will be aired Friday in the Titan Student Union’s
Ontiveros Room. “Debating Free Speech in the Digital
Age,” a program taped at the National Archives on censorship
— in libraries, of textbooks and on the Internet —
is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. NPR’s Margot Adler hosts
the one-hour program.
“Conversations With the Supreme Court
Justices” airs at noon, with Sandra Day O’Connor
and Stephen Breyer discussing the Constitution with students
at the Supreme Court.
Next week, a panel discussion featuring CSUF
students and faculty members is scheduled for noon Monday,
Sept. 19, in the Quad. Gordon Bakken, professor of history;
Don Matthewson, lecturer in political science; and Mona Mohammadi,
Associated Students Inc. president, will discuss the Supreme
Court confirmation hearings, the legitimacy of the Constitution
and federalism. The discussion will be moderated by Drew Wiley,
ASI executive vice president. Audience members will be invited
to join the dialogue.
At the forum, a limited supply of pocket-sized
copies of the Constitution will be available at a Constitution
Day table, where attendees also may register to vote.
