By Cory Barker · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 9:21 p.m.

One of the most important moments of my childhood was when I saw “Terminator 2.” Many might have found it too graphic for someone my age to be watching, but I couldn’t have cared less.

The character, in all its bloody, half-man half-machine glory, was on my 5th birthday cake.

Black enrollment went into a sharp decline only reversed this year, and while Chinese students are the second largest population group at UC Berkeley, less than 2 percent of freshmen at UCLA last year were black. Clearly, the influx of diversity hasn’t been equal across the board.
