Manager FROM PAGE 1 By Collin Binkley and Errin Haines Whack The Associated Press BOSTON Sheryce Hollo- way is tired of white peo- ple at Virginia Common- wealth University asking if they can touch her hair or if she knows the latest dance move. At Chicago's Loyola Uni- versity, student Dominick Hall says groups of white guys stop talking when he walks by, and sometimes people grip their bags a lit- tle tighter. The two black students chalk it up to the color of their skin. Both were among thou- sands of students across the country who took part in demonstrations at college campuses Thursday to show solidarity with protesters at the University of Missouri, and to shine a light on what they say are racial problems at their own schools. From Boston College to campuses at the Univer- sity of California, dozens of schools saw walkouts and rallies. While the protests that toppled the Missouri presi- dent were triggered in large part by complaints about slurs and other overt rac- ism on campus, some stu- dents at Thursday's rallies said it's a subtler brand of prejudice that motivated them to take a stand. Many said they face daily instances of casual racism and insensitivity. There's even a word on campuses these days for subtle slights against minorities: micro- aggression. "It's more the daily mi- croaggressions than the large situations," said Ako- sua Opokua-Achampong, a sophomore at Boston Col- lege. "Those also hurt." Katiana Roc said she will never forget the day two years ago when she sat down in class at West Virginia University and a white student a few seats away collected his things and moved across the room. "He looked uncomfort- able. I'm pretty sure he moved because of the color of my skin. It didn't hurt my feelings," said Roc, now a junior. "What disappointed me was his ignorance." She added that just being on campus can be a day-to- day struggle. "But instead of me say- ing that I'll transfer where I feel more comfortable, I'd rather stick it out here," she said. "I'm not here for how people look at me; I'm here for my education." Stories like that aren't new, students said. But many said the revolt at Mis- souri has driven them to talk about it and confront it. In recent days and weeks, students at some colleges have presented adminis- trators with their own de- mands, inspired by those of the protesters at Missouri. Often, the demands call for greater diversity on the faculty, more spending on scholarships for minorities, more instruction on toler- ance and sensitivity, and more resources such as cul- tural centers. Universities have re- sponded by hosting diver- sity forums in recent days, or meeting to hear de- mands. Students at some schools, such as the University of Michigan, said the Mis- souri case has embold- ened them to take a harder stance against administra- tors if they don't keep their promises. Holloway, from Virginia Commonwealth, said she has sometimes tried to ig- nore subtler instances of racism. But now, she said, she has decided not to keep quiet anymore. "It's hard when it's some- thing you see every day," she said. "It's exhausting. It's fatiguing and, you know, we're frustrated." DEMONSTRATIONS Bl ac k st ud en ts a ro un d th e co un tr y complain of casual, everyday racism NICK UT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS University California Los Angeles students stage a protest rally in a show of solidarity with protesters at the University of Missouri, on Thursday in Los Angeles. By Elliot Spagat The Associated Press SAN DIEGO U.S. Customs and Border Protection held off Thursday on deciding whether to equip agents and officers with body cam- eras, saying more study is needed after a yearlong re- view by the nation's largest law enforcement agency. Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske said his agency will use body cam- eras for training purposes sometime after January, but he was noncommit- tal on when, or even if, the devices will be distributed more widely. Hurdles in- clude cost, durability, tech- nological challenges and the need for labor union approval. The goal is to employ body cameras "where they would be most useful and helpful," said Kerlikowske, a former Seattle police chief. His words, however, lacked sufficient urgency for critics of the agency that has come under scru- tiny for use of force. The agency's review found that cameras used in field tests were unsuited to the rugged, remote condi- tions in which many Bor- der Patrol agents work. "These things have to work in an environment day after day after day, hour after hour after hour, and that was a big part of the difficulty," Kerlikowske told reporters. The commissioner asked staff for additional re- search by the end of Jan- uary on using body cam- eras at Border Patrol check- points and other locations. He also asked for a report by the end of March on the possibility of equipping agency vehicles with dash- board cameras. The use of police body cameras is still in its in- fancy, and it's unclear how many of the 18,000 state and local law departments in the nation have turned to the equipment. Dozens of agencies across the country are test- ing the cameras after un- rest in Ferguson, Missouri, led to criticism of police tactics. Many departments have plans to broadly em- ploy the technology. President Barack Obama supports the use of body cameras, and his admin- istration has pledged mil- lions of dollars to local de- partments. The Southern Border Communities Coalition, a group that has strongly criticized Customs and Border Protection over its use of force, said agents and officers have killed 40 people since January 2010. A 2013 report by the Po- lice Executive Research Fo- rum, a nonprofit group of law enforcement experts, was critical of the policies and tactics of the agency, which commissioned the report. Widespread deployment also hinges on union ap- proval. The National Border Pa- trolCouncil,whichrepresents Border Patrol agents, has ex- pressedconcernthatsupervi- sorsmightusevideostoretal- iate against agents they want to discipline or force from their jobs. BORDER Agency holds off on widespread use of body cameras By Scott Smith The Associated Press FRESNO Democratic U.S. Rep. Sam Farr of Califor- nia will retire at the end of his term in 2017, ending a career in Congress span- ning nearly a quarter-cen- tury, he announced Thurs- day in Salinas. Farr, 74, said he decided not to run next year because he has spent more than half his life in elected office and because his wife, Shary, wanted him home more. "It's a tough decision, but very exhilarating, be- cause it opens up all kinds of opportunities," said Farr, who looks forward to stay- ing engaged in political is- sues during retirement. Farr has represented the 20th Congressional District that includes California's Central Coast since 1993. He was first elected to fill the seat left empty by Leon Panetta, who resigned to become President Bill Clin- ton's budget director. Farr is the ranking member on the House Appropriations Sub- committee on Agriculture. Before serving in Con- gress, Farr spent 12 years in the California Assembly and six years on the Mon- terey County Board of Su- pervisors. Of his accomplishments, Farr said he is proud of helping establish the Pin- nacles National Park on the Central Coast, the only na- tional park founded during President Barack Obama's time in office. He noted his role in securing land and federal funding to build California State University, Monterey Bay. Farr also pointed to his votes for the Afford- able Care Act and against both the Iraq War and the Defense of Marriage Act, which barred federal rec- ognition of gay and les- bian marriages before it was overturned by the Su- preme Court. He helped bring the first White House Na- tional Oceans Conference to the Monterey Bay area and served as founder and co-chairman of the House Oceans Caucus. He was a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia in the 1960s. The congressman said he is confident that his seat will be filled by another Democrat, given the par- ty's stronghold on the Cen- tral Coast. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Farr was a champion for veterans, farmers, the environment and working families. "Congressman Farr has truly devoted his life build- ing a better future for his communities, our country and our world," Pelosi said in a statement. CONGRESS US Rep.

Gala FROM PAGE 1 MARIANELIZABETHCALBREATH November 13, 1923 ~ October 30, 2015 Marian Elizabeth Calbreath passed away in her sleep Fri- day, October 30, 2015, one week before her 92nd birth- day in Westlake Village, California. Marian is survived by her sister Dolores Van Veghel of Red Bluff, her seven children: Joseph & Catherine Calbreath of Eugene, OR; Jane Calbreath of Nevada City; Gloria & Ed Simeone of Westlake Village; Steven Calbreath of Fairfax; Cynthia & Paul Ott of Oakland; Mar- ie & Tom Hada of San Diego; Andrew & Liz Calbreath of Yucaipa; her twelve grandchildren, five great grandchil- dren, and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband Joseph H. Calbreath, her grand- daughter Amber Marian Calbreath, and seven of her siblings. Marian was born on November 13, 1923, in Red Bluff, to her parents Frank and Frances Rodriques. She graduated from Red Bluff High School. She was married to Joseph Calbreath of Corning, CA, for 56 years, and traveled the world with him for 23 years as he served in the US Air Force. Joseph retired from the Air Force in 1966 and they moved to Marin County, where they enjoyed bowling, golf, square dancing and traveling in their RV until his death in 2000. Marian also worked for the Bank of Ameri- ca in Novato as a teller for more than 15 years. Family was very important to Marian, and she spent most of her life caring for those she loved: her children, grandchildren, her mother, and any family member in need, without hesitation. Marian was a socially active woman who was deeply in- volved in SPRSI, a CA Portuguese woman's organization, where she served as one of the Grand Director's. She was a 25year member, and past president of Native Daughters of California and a member of the Sacred Heart Ladies Guild in Red Bluff. In her later years she enjoyed organizing and preparing food for large family gatherings, spending time at the beach and working crossword and jigsaw puzzles. She was an avid reader, followed politics and could beat ev- eryone at cards. Her family and friends will always re- member her as a kind and compassionate person. A memorial mass will be celebrated on Saturday Decem- ber 19, 2015, at 11:00am at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Red Bluff, CA. Father Sherwin Colaste will offi- ciate. A private internment of her ashes will be followed by a public reception at the parish hall. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Marian's life. Flowers can be sent to the church and donations can be made to your favorite charity in her name. A special thanks to Marian's daughter Gloria, son-in-law Ed, and granddaughter Elena Simeone of Westlake Vil- lage, for caring for her in their home for the past three and a half years and where she died peacefully.
