Corrections
 
An error was introduced in the editing of the article “UCLA students rally for affirmative action” in last week’s issue. The article should have said that students of underrepresented nationalities—Black, Chicano, Latino, and Native American—make up 14.3 percent of this year’s freshman class at UCLA, not at the 10 University of California campuses.

The following paragraph should have also been included in the same article: “Asian Americans make up 38 percent of the UCLA student body and have recently come under attack in the student newspaper, the Daily Bruin. MEChA, the African Students Union, the Asian Pacific coalition, and the Pacific Islanders Student Association issued a joint response pointing out that the term Asian American encompasses many nationalities, a number of which are underrepresented at UCLA. They pointed as evidence to a total of 50 Pacific Island students and a total of 18 Hmong students among UCLA’s 34,000 students.”

The headline of the article on the teachers’ strike in Oaxaca, Mexico, in the October 30 issue mistakenly said, “Tentative accord ends five-month teachers’ strike in Mexico.” It should have said, “Five-month teachers’ strike in Mexico expands.”
