Welcome to Gostate.org

This is the archive of older Gostate.org webpages. GoState is the voice of the movement for a balanced state-city identity at "San Jose State", which was founded as the California State Normal School (1862-1921) and is the school from which the entire CSU system grew.

Gostate.org Newsletter - March 2005



California State University, San Jose (1972 - ) 
 -  Gostate.org has just published an online tribute to the California State University, San Jose (1972 - ), which was San Jose's original name as a full university.  See http://www.gostate.org/CSU_San_Jose.htm .  The new web page features an image of CSU San Jose's 1972-1974 catalog.  You can also view 4 pages of the catalog here:  http://www.gostate.org/csu%20san%20jose%20bulletin%201972-74.pdf   Additonal pages honoring San Jose's CSU identity will be added in the near future.

CSU Spartans on the Web & in the News -  The CSU Spartans group has been in the news lately, fighting for the rights of San Jose students and graduates to identity and market themselves as CSU students/graduates. Check out these Google search results for "CSU Spartans": http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-47,GGLD:en&q=CSU+Spartans . The top four links include two Spartan Daily stories mentioning the CSU Spartans. The CSU Spartans is a group dedicated to securing the rights of San Jose students and alumni to identify and market themselves effectively as California State University students/graduates.

CSU Spartans Fight for Freedom of Choice; We Need Your Help  -  CSU Spartans have recently been lobbying University and CSU officials for restoration of freedom of choice in San Jose.  Students and graduates at schools like Fresno and Long Beach can freely choose to market themselves under those school's state or city identities, but in San Jose you are stuck with the obscure, non-sensical "SJSU" city college identity whether you like it or not.  Support our campaign to achieve a CSU "alternate identity" similar to "Fresno State/CSU Fresno" under which the "San Jose State" name would be retained, but the University would also publicly recognize that it is the oldest California State University. This would give San Jose students and grads the freedom of choice to market themselves as CSU students/grads if they wish.

To make this happen we need your help lobbying student government, University, & CSU officials, writing letters, etc.  To support this effort, please join the CSU Spartans Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CSU_Spartans and/or email alumni@gostate.org .
