Chrysostom Maginnis
November 23, 1982 - March 23, 2003
. . . While for many religion is a weekend hobby, for Kyle his faith was not only a definition of how to live life, it was life. Kyle was always so busy doing so many things, and on top of those things he always tried to make room for one more job, hobby, or friend. It was impossible to juggle everything perfectly, but Kyle was determined to try, even if the cycle lost its shape every so often. In a world that often highlights the worst elements in life, Kyle only paid attention to the best.

Pomona senior Leeshai Lemish is gathering signatures and holding
rallies at the Claremont Colleges and throughout the state of California
in an attempt to free U.S. citizen Charles Li from a Chinese prison.

Chinese spiritual movement banned by Chinese Premier Jiang Zemin
in 1999 and a target of persecution ever since, according to Amnesty
International and Human Rights Watch.
Budget Cutbacks at McAllister
Cause Layoff
By Kyle Warneck
Staff Writer
Despite Pomona's continued financial success, Pomona students can
expect to start seeing the signs of a weakened economy around campus.
While Pomona says they have no plans to cut back any programs, 5-C
programs may have to start cutting back immediately to conform to
their new budget constraints. One of the first cuts will be at McAllister's
volunteer center. After 16 years at McAllister's, volunteer coordinator
Rita Wodinsky knows that these will be her last few weeks. The Chaplains'
office will lay off Wodinsky at the end of the semester.

action in university admissions decisions since the landmark 1978
Bakke case. The court's decision could potentially bar the use of
race in considering applications - even at private universities
like Stanford University.
