Today we examine Jeff (father) and Reese (son) Mangray, the owner/managers of Studio 4. They were in agreement with two Asian organizations, the Chinese Student Association and the Filipino American Student Association, to host a fundraiser. The agreement was to split the money made on the cover charge at the front door on the night of the event. However, the owners of Studio 4 supposedly kept a tally of Asian looking people and when asked about their cut at the end of the night by the organizations’ presidents, Jeff Mangray was only planning on compensating them for “the 50 Asians they brought in”. Far be it from any one individual from two large Asian student organizations to have one friend of Caucasian descent.

In the argument that pursued outside, the son, Reese, allegedly spat on FASA president Ashley Manzano and, according to a source outside the daily, referred to them as “skanky little b*tches”. In addition, Mangray supposedly called and left threatening messages saying they don’t know who they’re dealing with, the power he has, and how he will get their organizations disbanded. Since the Mangrays are of Indian descent, they have also apparently used the “how can we be racist if we’re Asian” card. I suppose Hitler wouldn’t be considered racist if he had said “No you guys, I had a Jewish ancestor, it’s cool”.

The Mangrays have apparently also gotten in contact with MSA about the situation. MSA announced earlier its full support for the Asian organizations, so we’ll see how much student government *ss they’re willing to kiss to prevent a school-wide boycott of the immaculate club that is Studio 4.
