Kelly is a journalism major with an option in news-editorial. This is his last semester at Chico State University, which makes him happy and sad. He's happy to get the hell out of school but sad because of the many fond memories he will be leaving behind. Kelly was born the son of a poor refugee in the streets of Berlin. His parents sold him into the black market as a child laborer, which is what he did until the age of twelve. At that time he was recruited by the German State Police to expose one of the largest rings of international terrorism in the world. He did such a good job, they offered to pay him to go to the university of his choice in America. He chose Chico State. Kelly's favorite Web site is www.harmony-central.com. It has all of your guitar-playing needs, he said, including an extensive bank of guitar tabs, online shopping and guitar news. To contact him, please e-mail brk@mail.csuchico.edu. |

McBain is a journalism major with a minor in sociology. McBain realized the potential
the Internet holds for journalism and jumped onto the bandwagon
at the beginning of the fall 2000 semester. He figured taking a
class on Internet media, with an opportunity to learn HTML and assist
in publishing this fine electronic magazine was not a bad move,
so he signed up. Along with print media, McBain also does side work in broadcasting. Since the fall of 1999 he has had an internship with KRCR News Channel 7, an ABC affiliate, where he has reported on Sacramento Kings games, spring training and various high school and college sports.

Yatman is a journalism major with an option in public relations, although he said he really doesn't like people that much. He thinks he might graduate by December 2001. Yatman was born in Staten Island, N.Y. in 1975 to two loving parents who wanted a girl. This would be the first of several disappointments for him. Eventually Yatman said, his family moved, for some ungodly reason, to Yuba City where he spent his childhood listening to country music and daydreaming of a happy place. He was able to attend both high schools in Yuba City during his teens: the continuation high school and the one for "regular" kids. He quickly learned that higher education was his only way out of that place. After spending nearly two years in San Diego having a great time he decided that he should attend Chico State. It turned out to be a good decision. He has found his happy place. As a "newshound," Yatman's favorite web site is cnn.com. Reach him at gy1@mail.csuchico.edu. |

The fall 2000 Cat Bytes editor is a journalism major with a news-editorial option and a creative writing minor. He has inflicted additional scholastic torture upon himself in pursuit of a Technical Writing Certificate: a pursuit that piles yet another year onto his heap of schooling. He will graduate in May of 2002 if he can stand to attend classes for that long. (Just kidding, Mom. I'll be there.) Chagoya said that he believes the present American corporate media has designed the most ingenious propaganda model in history. This model, designed to obfuscate and distract, allows corporations and governments to act in a way that most people would be outraged about if they knew the whole truth, he said. "Outrage is important," he said, "but action is vital." He hopes that an exploration of the links in his article, "InterActivism," will help people begin to realize their own power. More than anything else, Chagoya likes climbing mountains, swimming in the ocean, and murmuring "sweet somethings" to his fiancee, Ceileth Drucker. His favorite Web site is www.dieoff.com, though he suggests that this site is not for the weak at heart. He can be reached at anarquisto@yahoo.com. |

As a political science minor, she is one of the United States' foremost experts on recounts and has been featured as a calculating guest on CNN. A wiser person once told Spiess, "Wherever you go, there you are," and it tended to simplify things.

She may be contacted for comments and complaints at juliaspiess@hotmail.com. |

Grace is a journalism major with a news-editorial option and a creative writing minor. He will graduate in the spring of 2001. Grace rides the fine line between sober rationality and planned insanity: bush diving, back seat car moshing, creatively derogating and iconoclastically charging through life. He might have been a bull in a China shop if he wasn't so stylish. His poetry is contrasted by his adherence to the brutal truth and reality of matters. Grace's tools of choice will always be sarcasm and mockery, riddled by the occasional bit of the profound and insightful. In short, he is like a potent and volatile mixture of George Gordon, Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Noam Chomsky. His favorite web site can be found at http://web.csuchico.edu/~dkgrace. |
