Read the excerpt from a document outlining the on-campus demands of the Latin American Student Organization of San Fransisco State University.We, as Latin American people are engaged in a struggle for our survival, both here on the campus and in the streets of our community. Up to this time we have repeatedly tried to work with the administrators and faculty of this college. We have requested that they assist us by providing resources and accessible avenues for the furthering of our work. We can no longer request; we must demand. This is not a matter of choice for us, but of necessity. For what we are demanding are not luxuries, but the bare necessities for our survival.The following are the demands of the Latin American Student Organization. No one of these demands has priority over any of the others. We will not consider that any demand is met until all are met.I.

The game "Mountain Trek” is a huge hit. Kids can choose to play as different avatars, such as Harold, a red-haired teenage boy; Lewis, a Black teenage boy; and Quinn, a Chinese American teenage boy. A group of girls, including Ciara, writes an email to the game’s developers, reminding them that girls like to play the game, too. The developers create the avatar of Justine, a blond teenage girl.
