Arizonans for Official English says govern- ifflents can regulate their employees’ speech while they are on duty. 'Making English our official language recognizes jthe unique role of a common language in society,” *aid Daphne Magnuson of U.S. English, an advocacy group supporting the Arizona amendment. But Stephen Montoya, lawyer for Arizonans Against Constitutional Tampering, which opposes the amendment, said, “If the First Amendment pro tects anything it protects someone’s right to choose the words in which they speak.” “English-only is about, I think, prejudice,” particularly against Hispanics and Asians, Mon toya said. His group noted in court papers that the nation’s motto, “e pluribus unum” — out of many, one — is in Latin, not English. The Arizona amendment says English is “the lan guage of the ballot, the public schools and all gov ernment functions and actions.” The amendment, which applies to all government officials and employees when they are on govern ment business, says the state “shall act in English no other language,” with some exceptions. Other languages can be used to help students learn English, teach foreign languages, comply with federal laws, protect public health or safety, or protect the rights of criminal defendants or crime victims. The amendment was challenged in federal court in 1988 by Maria-Kelly F. Yniguez, then a state em ployee who dealt with residents who filed medical malpractice claims against the state. Official English The Supreme court is studying whether states can make English their official language, requiring most government actions be taken in English. States that have some form of offictal-English laws: ^ I i /j r Associated Press Learning Continued from Page 1 efforts have been geared toward solving this problem, it still ex ists, and we’re not the only state that has this problem.” Matott said the center is im portant because it helps com munities and the state, as well as individuals. Raising an individual’s liter acy rate often helps them to live and fare better, he said. Dr. Don Seaman, center di rector, said the center publish es a newsletter four times a year, which is mailed to more than 8,000 literacy counselors, instructors and teachers across the state. Seaman said one of the cen ter’s main goals is to reduce the number of illiterate adults, not only in Texas, but in the country. According to a brochure pub lished by the center, Texas has one of the highest percentages of adults, age 18-64, who lack basic literacy skills, and in 1990, Texas ranked 46th among the 50 states in literacy skills for citi zens over the age of 20. In addition, Texas has one of the lowest state and local ex penditures for adult education in the country. Seaman said that at the time the center was being estab lished, a high number of stu dents were dropping out of school and a significantly lower number of students went on to get high school diplomas or an equivalent. In fact, according to the center’s publication, almost one-third of Texas youths do not have their diploma or an equivalent when entering the “adult-world.” CLASS OF '96 Last Chance T-shirt Sales Elephant Walk and Senior Shirts Tuesday 3/26 & Wednesday 3/27 10a.m.-3p.m. in MSC Thursday 3/28 10a.m.-3p.m. Wehner Building MSC Political Forum Presents: ARKIN Zone Sherry Wine and Kathie Mathis Associate Directors PITS A Discussion about current Parking Procedures and Expansion Wednesday, March 27,1996 12:30 -1:30 p.m. Koldus 111 MSC Political Forum is an open committee.
