Yeah so this thing is supposed to be about the helen thomas book. So I'll bore you with all the other goings on in my journalisms. I headed out to WSU vancouver for a forum on social justice. It was sponsored by the Center for Social and Environmental Justice Research Series
(CSEJRS).

I had difficulty finding the room where the forum was being hosted so I arrived late and only caught the last twenty minutes of the presentations. Fortunately I have done some research into the topics that were being covered. I was able to identify several people attending the conference as potential interveiws. The speaker was presenting an oral version of her dissertation of free medical clinics and social programs that provide free medical care for the poor and homeless.

More specifically the dissertation was a case study on the actual activists that pursued the civic discourse and proccess that aloud these programs to come into fruition. She highlighted their personal experiences that lead them to this particular course of action and asked the attendees to draw conclusions and relate those experiences to todays world.

There was a question answer period and then open format dialogue. I was able to conduct interviews with: Desiree Hellegers, she is the Chair for the CSEJRS, I also spoke with "" who is a professor of socialogy at WSU and a student who attended the forum Amy Burton.

Desiree Hellegers strikes me as someone who is very compassionette and driven to preserve social justice. she provided me with several quotes and relinquished information freely.

"" was more focused and calcualated in his response. He was willing to conduct interveiws but was looking to qualify his answers.

Amy Burton is a concerned citizen and is specific to our readership. she provided me with a very good interview from a student perspective.



Hellen Thomas...fuck the fuckin pulitzer prize.
