For tne 103 new Tokyo International Uni University versity of America students (42 women and 61 men), the experi experience ence is real and will take a lot of getting used to. Yuki Takahashi and Mari Ogawa, two of the new female resi residents dents in Doney Hall, said much to shed light on. their situations. Takahashi first noticed the differ difference ence in American food servings. "American medium coke is the smallest size in Japan." Pizza seems to be different, too.

Clothes are also much more expensive in Japan, which gave Takahashi and Ogawa an excuse to go out on a shopping extravaganza. One of Takahashi' s friends came back with a pair of $24 Converse shoes.

"The last season (I believe it was all season long), there were inserts in the programs and many or all of the pieces played in the past ten years were listed on the insert. The audience was asked to mark which were their favorites and from that list a list of favorites was made up," said Scott Bueffcl, oboe player.

Reading a five-page statement Monday, Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali admitted to every crime he'd been accused of in the federal court trial of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and 1 1 alleged followers. He also appeared to boost the government's case against the blind Egyptian cleric when he said Abdel Abdel-Rahman Rahman had inspired and approved his plans.

Wilson's comeback for a land landslide slide re-election last November re revived vived speculation about his presi presidential dential ambitions. His recent hedg hedging ing of once-unequivocal answers has encouraged even more speculation. Last January, Wilson told po political litical writers to take his name off their list of potential 1 996 Republi Republican can candidates for president. Six months later, when report reporters ers at a California Broadcasters Association convention asked him if there was any possibility he might run for president in 1996, Wilson had a one-word reply: "No." But discussing in December the selection of his home town of San Diego for the Republican National Convention, Wilson for the first time became indirect in responding to questions about running forpresi forpresi-dent. dent.

"The advantage (of a favorite son candidacy) could be if you're in a situation where the two leading contenders are essentially dead deadlocked locked and you have the ability to break the deadlock - (it) gives you a little bargaining power," Wilson said. He went even further last week, when political commentator Robert Novak asked during a television interview if there was any possibil possibility ity he could be the GOP nominee for president in 1996.

Two days later, at a political reporters' round table in Washing Washington, ton, Wilson fanned the presidential speculation even more, responding cryptically to questions about his presidential ambitions that "I have no new ground to break." Wilson said he has no plans to campaign in New Hampshire, but then added playfully, "My college roommate lives in New Hampshire. I might visit him." In the coded language of the political world, Wilson is hinting he is available and is testing the waters. Wilson also continues to take high-profile positions challenging President Clinton on immigration funds and other issues and is ap appearing pearing more than ever before in the national media.

Clinton's $1.61 trillion bud budget get plan includes modest in increases creases in financing for the Na National tional Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. In addition, the president proposed a six percent cut for 1998 for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which Republicans have been talking about eliminating altogether. Other cultural institutions would receive modest increases. Despite friendly sentiments from the White House, embattled supporters of the arts know their biggest battles are yet to come. Nancy Neubauer, spokes spokeswoman woman for the Association of America's Public TV Stations, said Republican threats to "zero out" the Corporation for Public Broadcasting have to take prece ing to campaign, and the campaign for governor has concluded," says Field Poll director MarkDiCamillo. "There's no question in my mind he is running," Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, D-San Francisco, told reporters in Sacramento last week. "I think Pete Wilson has always wanted to be president.

"If he decides to come east as a presidential candidate, he will in instantly stantly be in the first rank. He would be a very formidable candidate," the Georgia Republican told Wash Washington ington reporters as Wilson stood silently at his side during a joint news conference.

Sheldon Hackney, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, welcomed a pro proposed posed $5 million increase for the endowment in 1996, primarily to provide more computer ac access cess to humanities materials. The amounts at issue are small by Washington standards. The arts endowment's budget would rise $5.1 million to $172 million; humanities' budget would go up by a similar amount to $182.8 million. But Republican congres congressional sional leaders are intent on mul multiplying tiplying cuts in Clinton's bud budget, get, and the arts agencies have come under particular fire. Rep. Newt Gingrich, speaker of the House of Representatives, has said he wants to eliminate all funding for the public broadcast broadcasting ing corporation, which receives and distributes money to public stations and groups. Wilson and charismatic Reagan may be hard to take seriously today. But when he was governor, Reagan was often dismissed as a political light- weight, and the stature of the governor's office is even greater today than when Reagan used it as a stepping stone to the White House.

Editorial The Collegian February 10, 1995 r t i r r t i Racism seen with TIUA roommate problems Dear Editor, Once again I've opened up the Collegian and been annoyed and appalled. Generally speaking, it isn' t the spelling errors, or lack of ad advisement visement on journalistic responsi responsibility bility that annoys and appalls me, it is the personal columns, opinions and reflectionsbelly-aching that pervades the newsprint. It has never prompted me to respond until now. The outcry and criticism about the "TIUA student situation" has demonstrated how racism, igno ignorance rance and intolerance are prevalent throughout Willamette University. Civil rights discussion and protests of the 1960s centered around issues of race. Today many associate it with sexual orientation or "gay rights." However, racism is alive and well in these United States and I don't just mean for those of African descent. Specifically, we can see examples of that here at Willamette University. Imagine a university president responding to a white par parent ent who called to say that they don't want their sondaughter living with a black student. My bet is that the university president would find such a request racist and bigoted, and probably wouldn't honor the re request quest for change. I can imagine that situation happening back in the 1960s, but not in 1995. Most people would be appalled at the open rac racism ism which that parent was display displaying. ing. Yet, change the situation to a parent calling because they don't want their child living with a Japa Japanese nese student, and a university presi president dent finding the complaint valid enough to reverse the decision isn't so difficult to find. Look at the pref preference erence cards that the Office of Resi Residence dence Life uses and you'll find a line to list preferences. Can you imagine reading a student's card that says "No black people"? Again, most would recognize the blatant racism. And for the most part, even people who have those kinds of racist beliefs would recognize their minority opinion and guard where and to whom they expressed it. Yet, here at Willamette Univer University sity we can find preference cards that say that an incoming student would like to have a foreign ex exchange change roommate so long as it's from a European country, not an Asian one. We read editorials in the student newspaper which say, "Plac "Placing ing TIUA roommates where they are not wanted takes for granted the THE WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY UJLiULVui The official student Vol. 105 No. 18 The Collegian is the official publication of the Associated Students of Willamette Univer University, sity, published weekly except during holidays and exam weeks.

Can you imagine that statement applied to blacks? "Placing black students where they are not wanted." read the edi editorial torial and replace "TIUA student roommate" with "black student" and the overt racism becomes much more apparent. Read the comment from Kristi Osborn, "I don ' t think TIUA should be a priority. ..they come for one year, and we're here for four," and the "us versus them," we're more important than they are, mentality demonstrates intolerance and a su superiority periority complex. And the racist acts, comments, and attitudes go on.

And for those of you who cannot see beyond the country TIUA students are arriving from, you're what I call racist. Anita Stacey Coordinator of Greek Affairs TIUA Residence Life coverage questionable Dear Editor, This letter is in response to the editorial printed in last week's edi edition tion of the Collegian regarding your impressions of how Residence Life handled the TIUA roommate situa situation. tion. We find it very troubling to see that such material could be printed. We are more concerned with the manner in which you refer to the TIUA students than with your opin opinion ion of Residence Life. It is hard to know how to re respond spond to such articles as were put out by the Collegian. Even more troubling is the apparent support that the Collegian gave to such an article. Woven into the apparent frus frustration tration towards Residence Life's policies was a very evident under undercurrent current of hate, prejudice, and even racism. To quote from last week's editorial, "Placing TIUA roommates where they are not wanted takes for granted the rights of both parties." By singling out TIUA roommates over roommates in general you are labeling them and displaying clear clear-cut cut prejudicial attitudes. These past few weeks we have newspaper since 1889 k M made special note of two things concerning this exchange program. Both of these observations we saw in last week's Collegian: one, the exchange program is in need of growth and change. The other, more striking observation, is how so much of Willamette cries out that it is in no way ready to receive these stu students. dents. You also stated in the edito editorial rial that frustration with the ex exchange change program is an "administra "administrative tive problem." We agree that the program itself needs administrative attention, but only the students can change their attitudes towards each other. Obviously, this kind of attitude is unacceptable at Willamette. Rac Racism ism is against Willamette's Stan Standards dards of Conduct. Hate does noth nothing ing but tear the University, and all of its parts, down. If these are our values, we have no business even being here. Scott M. Bueffel Student Office Assistant Lenore I. Freeman Student Office Assistant Thomas M. Butler Operations Assistant Cheryl A. Todd Assistant Director, Operations Office of Residence Life TIUA roommate living difficult for all involved Dear Editor, I was a TIUA student in 1993. 1 was very excited to have my new kouhai younger students here at Willamette until I read an article about the TIUA roommate program. I think this school is a very good school for my kouhai to study and have excellent experiences. It is not only because of the roommate pro program, gram, but this is one of our big concerns. It is not an easy job to live with someone who has a different culture and language. It is a very hard experience for us too. Most students have never been to America or a foreign coun country, try, and they may have never left their home either. Of course, we are very nervous and we might depend on American students. Our different characteristics may cause a lot of problems, espe especially cially in communication. We can cannot not say things like "no" directly even when we are not comfortable. We are not trained to live with American students, so we also have problems with our roommates. We also try to solve these cul cultural tural gaps as best we can. Please imagine the situation that you can cannot not talk or understand what people are saying to you and you do not know what is allowed and what is not allowed. Please imagine that you don't have a family and every everything thing you see is new and weird. It is the other side of the world from your perspective. Erik Holm Editor in Chief Gabrielle Byrd Managing Editor Ryan Teague Beckwith News Editor Jennifer Lynn Miller Sports Editor Sarah RoseZollner Features Editor Joe Findling Copy Editor Dan Metz Copy Editor Christopher Ames Advertising Manager Mark Friel Darkroom Manager Andrew Bernhard Campus Events Editor I want my kouhai to have good experiences here like I had before. I want my kouhai to see positive things in America like I did before. I am lucky that I have had good roommates and came to like America. But I was sorry for my friend who did not have a good roommate and came to dislike it here. Whether to make us think good or bad is on your shoulders. If you think that this responsi responsibility bility is hard, I don't want you to live with us. Personally speaking, I like it here very much and I am very glad that I have had good roommates and that I am surrounded by good people. This changed my life because I did not know I would come back here to study more. The TIUA program had a big impact on my life. You guys are representative of Americans for us. It is up to you whether we will have good experi experiences ences or bad experiences. So I want Residence Life to choose our room roommates mates carefully. This may be our only chance to live with Americans in our whole life. Akinori Yoshida Junior Former TIUA student Willamette not truly caring environment Dear Editor, I am utterly disgusted at the response by some of the Willamette students in regards to living with TIUA students. I was under the false impression that this was a caring environment, yet I am ashamed to find out the truth of the racism which seems to have prevailed here. I live with a foreign student, albeit not of Japanese origin, but I am extremely happy with her. I couldn't have asked for a bet better ter roommate during my college career. I live in WISH and living with foreigners is a part of my life. It has made a huge impact in my life and if given the chance to change that, I wouldn't. Acceptance is a major part of my life, and I thought that people at college would be will willing ing to try new things and not be so closed minded about new experi experiences. ences. Although I do realize that people can have bad times with roommates, one should not lump a race of people together just because of one not-so-pleasant situation. This is racism, "stereotyping" at its worst. If people here would not be so self-centered and allowed their perspective to widen to include other cultures maybe things would be better. Col College lege is a place for experimentation, so try something new and open your mind. Beatrice Murch Junior Students need to inform representatives O Dear Editor, I am writing in response to a letter written last week by Mac Rinehart. First I'd like to say that Mr. Rinehart, and any other student who has a concern about ASWU, should talk to one of the officers about these concerns and get their facts straight before they write let letters ters to the editor or newspaper ar articles. ticles. Mr. Rinehart, if you had come to ASWU and talked to me, I could f have clarified for you students who live on campus did NOT vote in the off-campus senator election. Last semester was the first time in a very long time that all five off off-campus campus senator positions have been full. I would like to ask Mr. Rinehart, f , "What would you like us to do about student apathy in off-campus sena senator tor elections?" I can't drag students to the vot voting ing booth. I doubt people would come to a candidates forum for off off-campus campus senators. Should I drag them there as well? I can' t enfranchise students, Mr. Rinehart. Students have to stand up and vote for themselves. The voting booths are there for them to vote in; Senate meets every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. - all are welcome; and the ASWU door is open for anyone to express their concern or question. If you want the ASWU officers to be your voice, then come talk to us. If students want a voice, they have to take it. Mr. Rinehart, in the future, please verify your details before you write about them. BrioneBerneche ASWU Secretary Word choice incorrect in headline, quote Dear Editor, I would like to bring your atten attention tion to the article in the Feb. 3 edi- O tion entitled "Willamette ranks high in student retainment." To my knowledge, "retainment" is not a word, specifically it is not the word I used. I said "retention" and am misquoted a number of times. I would appreciate a correction. I have been asked for information twice now since I've joined the uni university versity and have been misquoted both times. Perhaps I am overly sensitive to the issue, but my father was a faculty advisor at an award winning state college for far too many years for me not to under understand stand how a college newspaper should be run.

Please recycle. i Opinion February 10, 1995 The Collegian Looking past the writing Watching the TIUA students wander around campus with slightly disconcerted looks on their faces - mixtures of culture shock arid jet lag - I was re reminded minded of myself two years ago. Having just said goodbye to my parents, I faced the daunting pros prospect pect of, among other things, meeting and getting to know my first TIUA roommate. Over the course of the next two years and four Japanese roommates later, I came to sev several eral conclusions about the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship between Willamette and TIUA. However, it took the racist graffiti on the walls of two resi residence dence halls on campus to jolt me out of my silent complacency toward the other, less overt as aspects pects of bigotry on campus. The graffiti reminded me that even at an institution like Willamette, there are still an un unenlightened enlightened and intolerant few with the gall to spread their venom in the form of racist slo slogans. gans. But it is the words we all use without thinking that betray our deeper prejudices and ste stereotypes. reotypes. When students speak of having a TIUA roommate as a "responsibility," they reveal more than just indifference. They also reveal a critical flaw in the approach that the administrations of both colleges have taken to the program. By treating the roommate exchange program as though one student is a host and the other a guest, the Office of Residence Life has re reinforced inforced the false idea that the relationship between a Willamette student and a TIUA roommate is an unequal one. Coupled with the tendencies of some Americans to view the TTUA students as "children" who will have to be looked after, the lack of interest from the Willamette community should not be surprising. No one wants Law students treated Classes have been in session for a month and I am settling back into the old school routine. I am always watching for interesting speakers, like ASWU's canceled presenta presentation tion of MTV's Real World heartthrob Judd Winick a couple of months ago. So, I was happy to see that Dennis Miller of Saturday Night Live fame was coming to Willamette in March. Miller has always been & terribly funny in a politically caus caustic tic way, so I knew I wanted to get tickets for this show. My enthusi enthusiasm asm was only heightened when I discovered that discounted tickets would be offered to Willamette stu students. dents. Great, I get to see the show and save $10 on a pair of tickets! That is when my friend Mary and I got a surprise. We have been paying for and attending classes at Willamette Law School for six months now, but the official word from the Putnam Center informa informa-tion tion desk is that we are simply not Willamette students. Despite the fact that it is in the best interest of the school to sell as many tickets as possible, graduate students are waived aside and told to spend their .p money elsewhere. the "responsibility." The reality of having a TIUA roommateis much different Living with my four Japanese roommates From the Editorial Board By an Teague Beckwith has been exciting, educational and at times even frustrating, but I have never once thought of it as a respon respon-sibility. sibility. My roommates and I have dis discussed cussed Japanese and American poli politics, tics, traveled together, made sushi on Thanksgiving and done every everything thing that my friends have done with their roommates. Despite the close relationships I' ve had with my roommates, I never felt entirely welcomed by TIUA. In the two years that I have partici participated pated in the exchange, I was invited only once to a TIUA function and never asked to join my roommate in an activity with his International Peer Counselor group. That's not to say that I haven't participated in events and activities at TIUA. Several times I attended events as my roommate's friend. There were no events, however, designed to bring me to TIUA as his roommate. Similarly, Willamette never sponsored a function explicitly for my roommate and I to attend to together. gether. The only time that the two universities even acknowledged that I had a Japanese roommate was during the roommate training. Although I found the session somewhat helpful, it was nothing more than a brief introduction to Japanese cultural habits. But the International Peer Counselors who led the session are not at faulL I have nothing but respect and admiration for those students who have devoted their time and energy to being IPCs for TIUA students. The administrations of TIUA and Willamette assume that it is the duty of the IPCs to bridge the cul cultural tural and psychological gaps be When I learned of this it re reminded minded me of my first day at Willamette back in late August. President Hudson begged the law The Law-bbyist Lars E. Toftemark students to become part of the Willamette University community, to cross Winter street and discover all the great things Willamette has to offer. It is too bad that when I crossed Winter street I was instead told, to paraphrase George Orwell, some students are more equal than others. It is not that the extra $5 per ticket bothers me financially; it is the principle that graduate students can be penalized for their school spirit. Speaking of money, the law school was gracious enough to in inform form all of the students that we could expect a hefty $600 tuition increase next year. This coming on the heels of a full page advertise advertisement ment in the Wednesday, Feb. 1 is is-sue sue of the Oregonian proclaiming Willamette's receipt of $62 million in gifts. on the wall tween the two universities. With Without out support from the Willamette and TIUA administrations, the IPCs can only continue in their role as individual counselors. Even more disturbing than the administrative indifference is the lack of action by the ad administration ministration on the blatantly rac racist ist acts of some of the student body. When a bicycle is stolen,' mailboxes are flooded within 24 hours by a note from Campus Safety explaining thedanger. Yet President Jerry Hudson, Vice President For Student Affairs Stuart Tennant and other mem members bers of the administration have had over a week to respond to the racist graffiti on campus, and so far they have remained silent Despite the disagreement over the roommate exchange pro program, gram, it should be a matter of no dispute that racial slurs have no place at Willamette. I am also troubled by the apparent belief of the university that simply placing a TIUA and a Willamette student in the same room is enough. Although the positiveaspects of the roommate exchange far outweigh any frustrations en encountered countered because of cultural differences, no student should be forced to take part in the pro program. gram. To do so would be social engineering of the worst sort. It breeds a kind of resent resentment ment on the part of unwilling Willamette students, who blame their roommates for restricting their housing choices. Con Conversely, versely, putting a TIUA student in a room with someone who is openly hostile towards them can ruin their experience here, caus causing ing even more antagonism. TIUA is one of the aspects of Willamette that separates it from other universities in our region and in the country. We must not let it be destroyed by bigotry and administrative indifference. unequally Now let me get this straight: this year, enrollment of the law school ' s first-year class increased 33 - from 150 - 200 students, giving students larger classes and a lower student-to-teacher ratio. And we learn that Willamette is not exactly struggling for money. So now they need $600 more per student per year? For those of you familiar with the turbulent political history of our country, you will recognize this as tuition with without out representation. This topic may seem remote to most students at Willamette, be because cause most are not enrolled in the law school. But do not be lulled into believing that this has nothing to do with the undergraduate students. Considering that Willamette would wage war on the wallets of 500 future lawyers, what can stop them from doing this io other students? In a time of ever tightening budgets, it is even more important that we make sure we are getting what we pay for. Do you feel sure? Well, enough of this pessimism.

Do you recall the fervor with which the revised curriculum for the teaching of American history in public schools was received? You heard the arguments of those favor favoring ing the new guidelines and the com complaints plaints of those who missed the point altogether and favored main maintaining taining the old. What the media kept from you, however, was the dissenting opinion of one Professor Sagacio Chaff, who recognized that whatever events and individuals were stressed by history teachers everywhere would determine how school children viewed the world around them. If the controversy surrounding the assassination of Presidents Kennedy or McKinley or Lincoln or Garfield, among others, were presented to students, Dr. Chaff felt that their faith in their government would be greatly weakened. Simi Similarly, larly, Chaff predicted that changing the focus from political to social history would result in fewer stu What makes special man ideal We are now in the second har harrowing rowing month of 1995. These are times of turmoil and triumph, days of impending doom and potential glories. In the words of one overquoted author, "It is the best of times, it is the worst of times."

Markham Furman number of hunchbacks enrolling at Notre Dame. Professor Chaff, recognizing the power of pedagogy , proposed a view of history tailored to the needs of America's future. For example, under Chaff s plan, President Nixon would be replaced in the history books by the good natured, crime solving President Matlock, played by Andy Griffith, and Bill Cosby would become the founder of the Nation of Islam. Instead of simply ignoring the genocide associated with the westward expansion of the United States, children would learn about Manifest Destiny and how the indigenous North American population was relocated to Disneyland to make room for white settlers. Few of Professor Chaffs col colleagues leagues could find fault with his proposal and it seemed assured of becoming part and parcel the new standard for history lessons coast to coast.

News 6 The Collegian February 10, 1995 Professor Long discusses definition, history, connotation of 'native' by Mac Rinehart Contributor Carol Long, professor of En English, glish, put an interesting twist on searching for the meaning of the word "native." Her resulting pre presentation, sentation, The Naturalist and the Native, captured the imaginations of audience members. While developing this presenta presentation, tion, Long explored the linguistic definitions of her chosen words and compiled an extensive reading list on the writings of naturalists, anthro- " " pological works and native voices. Like her evolv evolving ing study of the distinctions be between tween naturalists and natives, her presentation began with the framing of two loosely con connected nected perspec perspectives tives of the world. In front of an attentive audience these perspectives took on distinctive attributes which delineated the natu naturalist ralist from the native. Long began her presentation by describing her view of a native as continuously inhabiting a place and having a sense of belonging. She was struck with the alter alternate nate perspective that the Oxford English Dictionary offered in its definition of the term "native." The dictionary used descriptions such as "left in a natural state, simple, unaf fected, unpolished" and "naive." The distinctions between the way "native" is used to describe a home versus the way it is used to describe others became an essential issue for Long. The definitions for the term "naturalist" were also surprising, said Long. Those definitions em emphasized phasized the traits of people more interested in the natural world than the spiritual and observers of nature. Not satisfied with these defini definitions, tions, Long told of her exploration of books by nineteenth -and early twentieth cen cen-' ' tury naturalists. She was fas fascinated cinated by how these authors not only undertook the description of the plant-life and creatures in the habitats they explored, but also found it nec necessary essary to de describe scribe the native people that called these habitats home. Quoting a variety of sources, Long said that many of these naturalists did not view native populations in a favor favorable able light. Some of their written de descriptions scriptions included labeling of the natives as simple, boring, lacking civilization and as lacking advanced cognitive abilities. Long went on to illustrate how the same naturalists were unable to step outside of the world view they learned in their native countries. These views included the desire to read about their homes and the need for shoes, clothing, and money. Natu Naturalists ralists also described the world they were viewing based upon the famil familiar iar images and values of their own "native" societies. Long concluded her presenta presentation tion by reading a fictional story by Jorge Borges of a young student who set off the study the secret ritu rituals als of a native southwestern Indian culture. The student was to learn these rituals, and then return to the univer university sity and write a thesis on them. However, upon learning these rituals, the student became aware that the process of learni ng was more important than the rituals them themselves, selves, and he chose not to write the thesis. In a way, the naturalist had become the native, according to Long. When asked what essential chal lenges the interested student should explore in this topic, Long said, "One of the challenges is. . . to be able to live in the world with some sort of balance between reason and nature. "The second challenge is to be able to articulate that experience in such a way that it tells about both ( you and the world." Copies of Long's reading list can be found in her office which is located at Eaton 213. One of the challenges is.. .to be able to live in the world with some sort of balance between reason and nature."

Campus Events 7 February 10, 1995 The Collegian Film discovers meaning of Islam ionvocmwoii TT MJU A small group joined Ronald Eyre in learning about Islam in Cone Chapel Wednesday. During the pre presentation, sentation, "Islam and the New World Views" the movie "The long Search," a 1970s documentary of world religions, was shown. The movie began with Eyre in Cairo at a bus station watching bus employees take a break to say one of their five daily prayers. Eyre ex explained plained that the movie would chronicle his quest to learn about Islam, the religion of submission to the will of Allah. Islam is, by one estimate, the religion of one sev seventh enth of the world. Everwhere Eyre asked to learn - about Islam he was told that unless he became a Muslim he would never understand the meaning of the reli religion. gion. Since Eyre did not plan on becoming a Muslim, he felt like he had come to a dead end, but fortu- nately an Egyptian professor de de-"""cided """cided to help him. The firstplace the professor took him was a mosque that was built over 1 100 years ago. At the door, he had his shoes covered and watched Muslims do ritual cleansings to sym sym-rbolically rbolically purify themselves before prayer. He entered the mosque to ASWU Senate Report r wmm Guest speaker of the week was Mike Stanley, an International Peer Counselor for TIUA. Stanley ad- dressed racial incidents that IPCs feel need serious consideration by the Willamette community. He said that the racist acts occurring on this campus, be they obvious or covert, should not be tolerated by any lib liberal eral arts college. Stressing patience and and acceptance of Willamette's minorities, Stanley said he hoped a more liberated atmosphere will be emerge here. He reminded Senate that six percent of ASWU funds come from TIUA students and that they should be considered part of Safety Watch Public Indecency January 30, 12:08 a.m. (Capitol Mall)- Two students reported that while walking near the Capitol a male subject approached them and exposed himself to them.

He dis discovered covered the most important part of the mosque was a giant doorway which pointed to a kabba Mecca toward which all Muslims pray. The next thing Eyre learned about was the five pillars of Islam. One of them was the unity of God. This is the heart of Islam, that "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is messenger." Eyre also discovered that all of Islam is "grounded on a single rock." That rock is the Koran, which Muslims consider to be the word of Allah. Muslims do not like to have it compared to the Hebrew scrip scriptures tures or Christian Bible because they feel that the Koran is unique and infallible. Muslims also believe that Al Allah lah communicated with men like Adam, Noah, Abraham and Jesus Christ, although they do not recog recognize nize him as the divine son of God. They simply believe the truths re repealed pealed to the Jews and Christians have, through time, been misinterpretted and that they no longer have the truth. The truth was, according to Muslims, restored by the infallible prophet, Muhammad by an angel. The Koran is the most perfect book on earth and written without error. Muhammad, however, was the last prophet and none shall ever add to the Koran. The Muslims Eyre met claimed that the interpretation of the Koran could be challenged, but its author the student body because, legiti legitimately, mately, they are. Senators were concerned that Residence Life and the TIUA pro program gram are being negatively linked, mainly due to Residence Life's treatment of students in relation to the Japanese roommate program. Students were upset that they were not informed they were getting roommates; one student found out because a friend saw his name on a list and told him about it. Students are angry about this, but it must be recognized that racism is not the cause of their fury; it is Residence Life that is the culprit. A task force is being created to investigate possible improvements in Residence Life policies. Students interested are encouraged to get in touch with Laila Cook (x6837).

When they arrived they found a male subject with a bloody nose. When asked what had happened he replied that it was a result of playing, "dog pile." The subject ity could not. At Cario University, Eyre met with a shiek who try to help him understand the meaning of Islam. The shiek told him he believed ev everyone eryone was born Muslim, but simply has the truth distorted by their lives. When questioned how a foreigner could understand the Koran, since it was written in Arabic, and Muslims do not think any translation is good enough, the shiek replied, "Islam moves through the heart, it does not need a language." Eyre also visited other places in Egypt to learn about the religion. He sat through a four hour prayer meet meeting ing where men sat in one place and women sat behind a curtain. He vis visited ited a hospital and learned how Mus Muslims lims believe they need to have love for their fellow human beings. He also learned about the con concept cept of the deadliest sin in Islam. Muslims believe the deadliest sin is to give Allah anything less than what is due to him. They believe Muslims can com commit mit this sin by being too interested in wordly affairs, or by having idols, physical or mental. Eyre's long search ended as he watched Muslims make their pil pilgrimage grimage to Mecca, a journey which all capable Muslims are supposed to make. The Muslims making the pil pilgrimage grimage were silent. They were dressed in two white sheets, symboliz symbolizing ing purity before God and the brother brotherhood hood of all mankind.

A heart-healthy lifestyle When you're young and none of your friends are dropping dead, you have a tendency to feel you're immortal. This is our problem. If you aren't leading a heart-healthy life-style, at least find out and stop fooling yourself. Dr. William Castelli, M.D. cardiologist and director of the Framingham Heart Study wants every American man to know these three risk factors: high levels of cholesterol, smoking and high blood pressure. Those three factors increase risk of heart attack more than 500. But in Dr. Castelli 's opinion the greatest cardiac threat seems to be cholesterol. Do you have a basic knowledge of cholesterol? What about stress? Stress appears to be a contributing factor in cholesterol levels, particularly in the form of hostility experienced by some hard hard-driving driving Type-A men. If you carry around a lot of cynicism, sport a short-fuse and have a hard time trusting people, these could be danger signals. Are you the slow-burn, mutter-under-your-breath, in-the-express-lane variety? There is evidence now that large amounts of hormones are produced, stimulating the release of fat from tissues, and then actually converting it to cholesterol. So what in the world should you ao about all this stuff? And Bishop Memorial Health Center is here to help! Information is available about diet, stress-reduction, and cholesterol. Bishop Health Center can help you stop smoking. Appointments can be made to evaluate your cardiac situation and if necessary, blood drawn to check cholesterol levels. Referrals to cardiologists can be made if necessary, blood pressures can be monitored. Bishop Health Center is ready to help prevent your becoming a statistic.

February 10, 1995 Ttie Collegian Boys on the Kara McAnulty ,: .; v- S.w :: :::: 'Z: ::: ;' :: : : In light of my current view toward the male gen der, as well as my awareness &3 of the impending dreaded Valentine's Day, the film I have chosen to review is the newly released Boys on the Side. Now, before all of you men freak out and label this a "chick flick," hear me out. This was a very good film. I laughed, I cried, blah, blah, blah. But seriously, this film really af affected fected me. It is the story of three women who come together under jf unlikely circumstances, and find themselves in rather interesting situ situations. ations. Along the way, they find that through all of their glaring differ differences, ences, they are remarkably similar. That is probably the message I 'iikcu iiiusi auuui me mm. ou uilcii, we are too quick to point out the differences between ourselves and other people; we are anxious to create a gap between "us" and "them." The Kry adds new dimension to Christian music Heather C, Anderson It's about time that Christian music takes on the same style that has, in my opinion, the widest audience. The Kry, a hot new Southern California band, takes a suc successful cessful step forward with a Christian twist to alternative music. Their live performance was hot, but that doesn't mean you should run right out and buy their latest release; like most other groups, The Kry's latest CD doesn't do justice to its superior live performance. The first thing I noticed when I walked into Smith Auditorium at 7: 1 5 last Sunday night was that it was packed. I mean packed. I have never seen that many people in Smith at one time, and that includes World Views Convocations (when I decided to go). People were sitting on the floor in the balcony , as well as standing in the aisles on the main floor because there weren't any seats left. The Kry is an up-and-coming Christian band whose roots are all over the place. It formed in Albuquer Albuquerque, que, New Mexico after Jean-Luc and Yves Lajoie, two French-Canadian brothers, met Pete Nelson, the youth pastor at a local church. According to Jean-Luc, he and his brother accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior at that church. "We spent a year just playing worship and church music there," said Jean-Luc. "We didn ' t e ven spend any time playing our music. It was just church stuff." After that, the three decided to kick it for the Lord, rock n' roll style. And they ' ve been doing it ever since, relocating themselves to Southern Cal . Jean-Luc is the frontman, play playing ing bass and singing lead vocals. Yves plays the drums and performs back backup up vocals, while Nelson plays guitar 1-1 and sings back-up. TheKry'ssophomoreeffort, You, is a mixture of heart-felt ballads and a sprinkling of medium-to-fast feel feelgood good songs. Although You is a valiant effort on the band's part, The Kry is far-and-away a better band live. Side is more This film poignantly shows that it is the differences between people that makes friendships so great. These three women are like night and day with each other, but become lifelong friends. The three actresses in the film seem like an unlikely bunch, but that is kind of the beauty to their on onscreen screen chemistry. I admit that I have not always been the world's biggest Whoopi Goldberg fan. She pretty much an annoys noys me. But she was remarkable in this film. Her character, Jane, calls for a lot of sarcasm, toughness and wit, and she delivers exactly that. But she is also very sensitive and emotionally in touch. Drew Barrymore, as well, has had a lot to be desired in my book. Her roles have been immature, as well as her portrayal of them. And her character in the film (Holly) is immature, but she does a lot of growing up. It was the spiritual and emotional growth of her charac character ter that made her charming. I have enjoyed Mary-Louise Parker's work in the past, and she The group possess a tremendous amount of crowd appeal . For example, they encouraged the audience to clap along to their upbeat tunes (which were more peppy live than on the CD) while they discouraged stage diving (which actually did occur). At one point in the concert, the sound for Jean-Luc's microphone went out. The band proceeded to "air-band" it, much to the crowd's delight. Jean-Luc mentioned that the crowd might have to start singing the old stand-by, Kumbaya, if the sound didn't come back on. So, we did. The entire auditorium was sing singing ing Kumbaya in unison, and almost without missing a beat, Yves accom accompanied panied on drums and Pete joined in on guitar. Even when Jean-Luc's micro microphone phone came back on in full force, we continued singing the song until none of us could remember the words any anymore. more. It was an extremely meaningful impromptu moment in music history. Okay, it was cool, and that's it. I was wary of attending yet an another other Christian rock concert, because V Li than weepy surpassed herself here, playing the role of Robin. In short, the women all did amazing jobs on their own, as well as worked very well together. A very interesting film to view in terms of gender communication, Boys on the Side explores the bond which inextricably links all women together. If this were a film with three men, I'm sure it would look at the bond be between tween them. It doesn't really matter if men or women are the focus of this film; what matters is the fact that the prob problems lems of communication between the genders (and within them, as well) is explored. The frustration of miscommuni miscommuni-cation cation between people is really played up in the film, especially in the rela relationships tionships each of the characters had in the past. Each of the women in the film comes from a completely different arena when it comes to relationships. Holly is a glutton forpunishment, staying in abusive relationships until some rather interesting events drive them apart. Jane is a lesbian, and seems to communicate and deal with men better than anyone else in the 5T ur it's been my experience that a lot of these bands sound the same. I was pleasantly surprised with The Kry's departure from conformity in their music, to say the least.

Robin has some serious prob problems lems all her own, but summarizes her experiences with the line, "I'm the one who spent three years at happy hour and never went home with any anyone one but the bartender." This film's strongest quality is the script. It is funny, moving, strong and not trendy. There are some great one-liners in this film, mostly about the above mentioned gap be between tween the sexes. My personal favorite is one that I can relate to rather well, and pretty much sums up how I feel: "I don't know. I don't know about men. Ijust don't get it." What a classic. Anyway, this story is very well told. This could have very easily been a cheesy -type weepy film, but it isn't. It is mature, and so are the issues. Maybe I have been a film opti optimist mist as of late, but this one gets two thumbs up from me. (I really need to come up with my own rating sys system!) tem!) Oh, and check out the soundtrack - it is a very strong accompaniment to the film. Williams, Smith stage manager, was rocking out in his booth. My friend and I commented to each other that they had a very fresh, alternative-sound appeal. At a couple of times in the concert, they tended to sound like Toad the Wet Sprocket plugged-in and looking up. My friend isn ' t very big on Chris Christian tian bands in general, but I managed to drag him along. Even he was really impressed, especially when Yves threw in a kick-butt drum solo for a good two minutes. Lead singer Jean-Luc has a voice that sounds familiar even though you can't quite place it. The best I can do is to say that his voice sounds like a cross between John Mellencamp and Richard Marx. I don't necessarily care for these particular singers, but I really liked his voice, especially in concert. Since English isn't Jean-Luc's first lan language, guage, I was impressed with his mas mastery tery of the language. You can't live up to The Kry's Sunday night performance, to be sure, but if you're interested in a Christ Christ-inspired, inspired, upbeat "alternative" to the secular mainstream, this band is defi definitely nitely worth a listen.

So, when he tries to kissyou after taking you home, you have a responsibility to follow through, right? Wrong! That was the message delivered last night as part of Rape Awareness Week Program Programming. ming. Organized by student leaders from Students Against Rape, Together (StART), last night's presentation on sexual self-esteem offered messages for both women and men on how to respect their gut feelings when dat dating. ing. Event organizer Senior Tanya Sutter arranged to have two local Psychotherapists, Alicia Bone and Melody Shapiro, present a round table discussion about how women could break through sexual stereotype roles compelling them 'to appease their partners. The event was attended by ten students. "I am constantly amazed about how women set themselves up to be victims in unconscious ways," said Shapiro. Some of these behaviors include allowing men to invade their per personal sonal space, trying to appease their partners, and denying their gut feel feelings ings when uncomfortable. Shapiro defined appeasing be behavior havior as any attempt to accommo accommodate date another person when we really do not want to. Bone and Shapiro said that ap appeasing peasing and self-denying behaviors lower people's sense of self-worth and often lead to feelings of resent resentment ment toward their partners. They also make it difficult for partners to know what their compan companions ions want, and interfere with the de development velopment of healthy relationships. How do we know when we are allowing ourselves to be victims? Shapiro explained that whenever a situation feels uncomfortable, we Red Flag Behaviors When dating, women should watch for men who: A. get easily angered or aggressive when they set limits B. don't respect their "no" C. try to talk them out of what they want D. try to exercise a high level of control E. tell them how to think, feel, dress, or appear F. argue with their preferences G. behave in a pushy or intrusive manner J U 1885 Lancaster Dr. N.E.

Indicators of these behaviors in include clude Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, eating disorders and a lower self self-esteem. esteem. Shapiro recommended that women count the number of times that they accommodate others over the period of a day and use that as a measure of how often they attempt to appease others. Otherrecommendationsincluded asking whether or not we are agree agreeing ing to a request out of guilt or fear and staying in tune with feelings of dis discomfort comfort when interacting with oth others. ers. Shapiro stated that her clients are often surprised at the number of times they give in to others' requests when theydon't want to. Bone told attendees that before engaging in any activity which felt uncomfortable they should ask them themselves, selves, "Who am I doing this for?" "Know that you can stop any anything thing at any time," said Bone. Both Bone and Shapiro delivered the mes message sage that stepping back and taking time to think about a request was a healthy response to uncomfortable situations. They said that women also have the right to act aggressive, angry and to leave when in personally threat threatening ening situations. Bone and Shapiro explained that most rapists test potential victims to determine how they respond to ad advances vances and invasions of personal space before committing sexual crimes. Responding to potential rapists in an assertive, self-confident man manner ner often deters them from attempt attempting ing to commit sexual crimes. Sutter said she gained "the ability to think about things beforel do them" from the workshop. The message was an important one for people who feel compelled to do things that they don' t want to do. The overall message of the round table discussion was that respecting our feelings and acting in our own interest are acceptable behaviors. "I believe you can only give to others...to the degree that you can give to yourself," said Shapiro. nnr CisQA 3 J-UJOH i J .. fa 'Our young by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer Our Young Black Men A re Dying and Nobody Seems to Care is a play born from the frustrations of a home homeless, less, suicidal author. It is no small feat that among the stories of lost lives and dreams the play's actors have managed to impart the ideas of caring and self-love. Young Black Men began as a sui suicide cide note written by James Chapman when he was living on the streets of Houston. It is a play about the situa situations tions and emotions of America's young, black men. Thursday night Willamette's Educational Programs Committee brought the play to the Cat Cavern. According to Cesie Delve Delve-Scheuermann, Scheuermann, "The committee thought a play would be more inter interesting esting than a straight lecture." Three actors, R. Lawrence Jenkins, Noel Rogers, and D. "Jeffro" Johnson performed the entire pro program, gram, which ran about two hours. It was divided into several vignettes portraying different internal and ex external ternal issues facing young black men today. Most of them read like poetry and were accented by the actors' rich HELL s - ",rrv W ell, I put those cookies r s 5 I NEEP TO TAUC REMEMBER.

The title phrase became a theme through throughout out the play as did the sentiment, "No matter what this world does to me I will not let it take away the essence of me. Most vignettes dealt with either current issues in the lives of young black men or with emotions the group felt needed to be addressed. In the first vignette, the actors each claim a different form of death. One has died from drunk driving, and another from the effects of the AIDS virus. Both characters dealt with feelings their deaths brought out, and reflected on the people they had left behind. Other sections were monologues of a character' s thoughts and emotions and resembled a stream of consciousness. Noel Rogers said that many people respond to the title of their program by insisting that they do care. Rogers responds with, "The title of the play doesn't mean you don 't care, but that it doesn't seem like you do. The word 'care' needs to become an active word." he said. In his critique of the play, Patrick Turner of the Cincinnati Herald de- "No matter what this world does to me I will not let it take away the essence of me" Three actors performed a two hour dramatic presentation last night in the Cat Cavern. are dying scribed the characters as "men who want love and yet have lost all sense of what love is." Their hope, Johnson believes, is self love. "It's hard to love someone you don't know, you have to love yourself first," he said. 5 During intermission, audience members were invited to write the names of any young black men who had been killed that they knew into notebooks the group left on the stage. During the last vignette the names were read so, as Jenkins explained, "We can honor them." Jenkins appreciated the quality of the audience at the program. "The audience wasn't as responsive as oth others, ers, but people weren't afraid to ask questions and be honest," he said. According to the play's actors, James Chapman's explanation for committing suicide became his sal salvation. vation. Chapman soon found work as an AIDS counselor and set up a non nonprofit profit theatrical organization called Living the Dream Through Living the Dream Chapman can oversee the production of Young Black Men. According to Pamela Sommers of the Washington Post, he does this to "maintain strict control of the mes message sage and of the rough, raw quality that keeps it alive and real." gy MATT Now Only $25 Per Month 11 February 10 ,1995 The Collegian Dahl works on planks in campaign platform by Tiffany Derville Contributor Like her previous year in office, Heather Dahl's third semester as ASWU president has been a busy one. She has worked on tuition reform, the sexual assault policy and increas ing student involvement in ASWU. Some less visible changes have occurred while Dahl has been in office. Some of these issues became important once she was in office, while others have been on her agenda from the start. The Collegian reviewed Dahl's platform, as stated in her speech at the pre-election campaign forum, and compared it to her per performance formance while in office thus far. With a little less than a semester left, she seems to have achieved several of her goals, and says she has good reasons fornot ; y completing others. Platform: Revise sexual assault policy The Student Affairs Committee drafted and revised a sexual assault policy which includes a CLA student among the adminis administrators trators that a victim can report an assault to. 5 "Students didn't feel the complaint recipients were people that students wanted to complain to," said Dahl. Dahl also helped in the selec selection tion of Amy Olrey as the student representa representative, tive, and attended the trustees meeting where the policy was approved. Platform: More lighting There will be more lighting in certain places around campus soon, such as behind Eaton Hall. This was prompted by a senate resolution last semester. Dahl said she and other students will continue to work on the problem this semester. Platform: Renovate Sparks Dahl said she lobbied Vice President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant and President Hudson to let them know that students wanted the renovations to Sparks to move forward. The plans for expanding the athletic center have been approved. Platform: Attend hall council meetings "Attending hall council meetings was an idea that I threw out as a way to increase communication," said Dahl. "However, the si hall council meetings that I have gone to and tried out, I was reaching a small group of students, and I was out in maybe two or three minutes. It was very rare that a hall council had anything that they really wanted to dis cuss. And often times, they usually would call me our come by (to visit my office)." Instead, Dahl said that she has made an effort to spend more time in public places, whether this means studying in the library, rewarding in the Bistro or eating dinner in Goudy. "Every time I've gone to eat, a student has come up to me at my table or in the salad bar line and asked me a question about ASWU." Platform: Presidential round tables Dahl originally designed this medium to discuss hot issues with students. However, she decided last semester to axe the medium due to poor attendance. "Only three or four people attended on a good night," said Dahl. Many freshman Senators think it is a great idea; however, those Senators who have been around the track are glad that Dahl is investing her time in other areas. Platform: Hold open forums Once again, Dahl said she has found a better way for students to voice their con concerns. cerns. Last year, very few students attended the open forum. Instead, she has organized a dinner system that allows her to eat dinner with each Senator at least once a semester. Although many fall Senators had not met with Dahl for dinner last semester, many who had said that they enjoyed the opportunity. Platform: Coffee dates at Bistro As in years past, Dahl has shared this respon responsibility sibility with former Speaker of the Senate Josh Norman. Senators who have attended them, such as freshman Allison Kato, said that it was a good idea to give some of the responsibility to Norman, since Senators may have concerns concerns-about about the ASWU officers, including Dahl. Still, few Senators have attended any coffee dates. Platform: Class registration Dahl theorizes that since more professors have been hired and more sections have been added, registration is not a problem anymore. Assistant Registrar for Institutional Re Research search Todd Massa, on the other hand, at attested tested to the contrary, saying that "the ratio (of students to the faculty) has not changed much in the past two and half years." Platform: Health Center Dahl states that the issue, "is on its way." Dahl and Deb Lores, the head of the health center, have just began to meet.

They will attempt to model the new pro program gram after those at Linfield, Western Oregon State, Southern Oregon State and Eastern Oregon State, who all operate with a com computer puter system that Dahl wants to use at Wil Willamette. lamette. Platform: Freeze tuition Hudson has said repeatedly that the peti petition tion by the Willamette Student Lobby (of which Dahl is not a member) did not influence the new tuition policy, but the effects of mak making ing the tuition issue public can not be judged impartially. However, to her credit, Dahl had been working with the trustees and the administra administration tion since last February on setting up the tuition policy that will be implemented for incoming students next fall. She also met with the WSL a few times. She also said she lobbied President Hudson and the chair of the financial affairs commit committee tee for the Board of Trustees after the initial meeting in February. Dahl said the university budget showed it would have been impossible to freeze tuition for current students, but "this will give a lot of ASWU presidents a lot of time to worry about other issues in the future." She also noted that this year's tuition increase for returning students was the small smallest est increase in at least a decade, and that it barely kept up with the rate of inflation. Platform: Long lines in Goudy A food service committee changed the brunch hour and is looking into changing the regular hours; this may lead to shorter lines. Dahl sat on the committee that approved the hours. (Ground JZe Voice Vision to hit the virtual marketplace o i 1 V I To annual coimrnofrf 7 by Amy Schlegel 'Staff Writer SUDDENDLY, ROGER'S WORST NIGHTMARE COME TRUE . A trip to San Jose. Competition. Applied learning. Little more could be desired from a class. Students participating in the Economic Simulation class this spring do not need much more. Of course they would like to return from San Jose with good marks and ac according cording to David Snyder, president of the team, the prospects of that wish look good. But that all takes place down the road. Right now six seniors, Mark Bauer, Hope Cameron, Keith Carrato, Snyder and Kelly Weaver are in the process of running a business which they created. The hypothetical business called EZRA Ente;prises markets a prod product uct called VoiceVision, a device which fits on a television set and converts voice messages intoprinted words. The only requirement: it must be a $ 1 0 durable good. There are a few requirements in the class. Professor Donald Negri, an economics professor and the ad administrator ministrator of the class, requires little. In fact the only assignment he dves is to fix dinner for himself and his son at his house. The assignment also indirectly generated the name of the company. Negri's son is named Ezra and the students enjoyed playing with him during dinner. They all agreed he was a "great kid" and they liked his name so when they couldn't think of a company name they decided to use his. Although Negri does not directly make requirements of the class, run running ning the company creates a great deal of work. Twice a week the students meet to make decisions about production, finances, sales and marketing. Each member of the team is in charge of a certain area. Bauer is the Vice-President of Sales and Forecasting, Cameron is Vice-President of Mar Marketing, keting, Carrato is Vice-President of Production and Weaver Vice-President of Finance. The students mutually agreed on positions according to skill and what each participant wanted to foam on. They also meet at various inadvert inadvertent ent times each week in order to ex exchange change information and keep them selves aware of various business dealings. The actual competition is dis distributed tributed to various colleges and uni universities versities through a software program titled, "The Business Policy Game." It simulates conditions in an indus industry try and students make decisions as if running a full-fledged corporation. The decisions are submitted to the administrator of the program in San Jose throughout the semester. The team then receives a list of all the participating companies net incomes so they know where they lie in comparison to their competitors. Snyder speculates that Willamette is "second in the simulation right now" and feels very good about the team's level of participation. The competition takes place from April 5 to April 10 this year. The team w ill be judged based on criterion such as whether or not the company is a good investment from a stockholders point of view, the quality of the business plan and the pre cntaiion itself. Willamette has been participat participating ing in this competition for about 25 years.

A day after a sit-in at center court stopped a basketball game, a mixture of minority and white stu students dents gathered at the state university's main campus to listen to speakers and shout slogans such as "All Power to the Students." "If you're putting a basketball in a hoop you are OK with this university," said one speaker, se senior nior Rodney Jackson. "If you are a person of color doing anything be besides sides that you have no respect at this university." Rally organizers had called on students to walk out of classes to join the rally, but many students chose to stay in class. President Francis Lawrence has repeatedly said his remark was a mistake and not what he meant. But some students and faculty insist he must resign to end a racial crisis at the state's flagship univer university. sity. At an afternoon news confer conference, ence, Lawrence blamed the contro controversy versy on a misunderstanding. "They've made theirstatements, and now no further disruptions will be appropriate," Lawrence said of the protesters. Asked if campus police would do anything to prevent further dem demonstrations, onstrations, he said only: "I'm not going to theorize on it." During his news conference, 200 or more students filled a hallway outside, clamoring to get in. Armed campus police stood outside the door, limiting access to the media. Three students made it inside, with one standing to speak in sup support port of Lawrence and a second de demanding manding that he meet with a student coalition. University officials have said Lawrence's record shows a com commitment mitment to diversity and to minor minority ity recruitment and hiring. The cause of the protest was Lawrence's remark to faculty mem members bers last fall that "disadvantaged" students do not have "that genetic hereditary background to have a higher average" in standardized tests. About 32 percent of the state university's 47,700 students are minorities; just under 10 percent are black.

He defended Lawrence's record, saying he "seems to be the kind of person who is the exact opposite of what everybody seems to think he is." Black sophomore April Johnson said the basketball sit-in was worth worthwhile. while. "It got them the recognition that they wanted," she said. Lawrence "as a university president should not make an unfounded remark like that. ... I don't accept his apology." Walton A. Johnson, a professor of Africana Studies at the univer university, sity, said the incident had touched a raw nerve. "President Lawrence's remark occurred at a time when people of color are feeling under attack," Johnson said. "His comments fell into that environment and ignited that anxi anxiety, ety, and that's why this won't go away." From transcript of New Jersey Rutgers 9 President Francis Lawrences November remarks to faculty members: "Do we assess in the same way at Rutgers that we would in an open admissions county college? Do we assess - let's look at the SATs. The average SAT for African -Americans is 750. Do we set standards in the future so that we don't admit any body with the national test? Or do we deal with a disadvan disadvantaged taged population that doesn't have that genetic hereditary background to have a higher average?" From a January 31 statement by Lawrence: "One of the hazards of public life is the need for constant vigilance in the completeness of the thoughts one expresses, and for the precision of language accompanying those thoughts. Let me be unequivocally clear that I believe that the view that genetic and hereditary factors determine ability and achieve achievement ment is dead wrong. ... What I intended to say was that standardized tests should not be used to exclude disadvantaged students on the trumped trumped-up up grounds that such tests measure inherent ability, because I believe that they do not. ... It is an absolute contradiction of everything I believe, of everything I stand for, and of everything that I have done throughout my life." From a February 1 statement by Lawrence: "I want to issue a public apology for the damage and the pain that I know that my widely published remarks have caused Rutgers' students, faculty and staff as well as the entire minority population of New Jersey. I could not be more sorry about it. ... "The idea that intelligence levels differ based on ethnicity and that minorities are genetically inferior are monstrously perverse, demonstrably false, and completely unacceptable. I cannot explain a remark that said precisely the opposite of my deeply held beliefs."

Much of fall practice was de devoted voted to orienting the team - which consists primarily of freshmen and sophomores - to the game and teaching fundamentals. "Lacrosse is a hard thing to learn for someone who hasn't played before," lacrosse coach Keith McDonald said. McDonald played lacrosse at rChico State University and now lives in Salem and helps out with the Willamette team. Practice has paid off for the team. "People are looking real good," observed McDonald. "The athletic abilities of the Z incoming freshmen are better than last year's freshmen," said Junior Mike Heald. This year's team consist of 23 players, but "only about 16 who show up regularly," according to McDonald. Most of the players are freshmen. Lacrosse is an unique game that . is the "culmination of hockey, bas basketball ketball and soccer" according to Heald. It involves the use of both finesse with the stick and brutality t in hitting.

V Co-ed Rugby Team suffers bitter loss in season opener by Dan Metz Editor The Willamette men's Rugby team opened the Spring season by suffering a disappointing loss. The first game of the season was pre preceded ceded by only four practices and it showed in the team's performance at University of Portland last Satur Saturday. day. The game remained close through the first half. University of Portland scored the first points of the game off a penalty kick early on to make the score 3-0. Then Willamette came back to tie the match up with a field goal kicked by Senior Nate Gatten. By the end of the first half, Portland had scored another field goal to make it 6-3. After the half, Portland played with renewed drive, according to Mark Furman, President of the Willamette Ruggers. "They had a big bench with lots of players and were able to sub in players often," Furman said. Portland scored a try early in the second half and completed the two-point conversion to make the score 13-3. Portland came back and scored another try, and missed the conversion, which made the score 18-3. After another try and conver conversion sion by Portland, the final score was 25-3. "I think our biggest weakness was not getting the ball out to the backs where they could run up up-field," field," Furman commented. "We weren't protecting our scrum and experience will carry them through." As for the men, they will com compete pete at the varsity level with a four man boat. The men have been slowed by the injuries of two of their members. When the team re returns turns to full strength, they should be very competitive.

Furman said, however, that the forwards played extremely well under the leadership of Gatten, which was supplemented by out outstanding standing performances of a few key new-comers and returning players, among them Lucas Hill and Scott Jones. Junior scrum half Matt Jefferis also put out an excellent effort, according to Furman. Jefferis re recalls calls the match: "I'll say the for forwards wards really played hard and domi dominated nated much of the game. The new guys have caught on to the sport incredibly well and when the backs have a bit more experience under their belt, our team will be a force to reckon with."

STATE ZIP SS . : Sports 14 The Collegian February 10, 1995 V Women's Basketball Women earn first national NAIA ranking in school history by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer Willamette's women's basket basketball ball team entered uncharted terri territory tory this week, as they entered the NAIA Division II Top 25 for the first time in school history, at No. 23. The ranking came after the Bearcats won three of their last four games, staying atop the Northwest Conference by a half game, with a record of 8-2 in the conference and 19-5 overall. In earning their first national ranking, the Bearcats won one of two games over the weekend. Their first match up was with Whit worth in Spokane, Washington. Whit worth, who had given the Bearcats their only conference loss of the season earlier in the season, entered the game trailing Willamette by only one game in the Conference standings. The games winner would have the inside track to winning the conference and hosting the confer conference ence tournament. Whitworth's physical inside defense held the Bearcats to just 35 shooting, and earned them a 61-53 victory over the Bearcats. Head Coach Paula Petrie felt that her team wasn't shooting poorly, but that their was constant contact in the key that went uncalled by the officials. Willamette's top performers included seniorpoint guard Carolyn Leary, who scored a team high 16 points to go along with five assists. Sophomore center Jenny Joseph chipped in 14 points, while junior center Saran Patillo pulled down nine rebounds. As they have all season long, the Bearcats quickly rebounded from their second conference loss by dominating Whitman in Walla Walla, Washington. "We did a good job of coming back from a tough loss the night before," said Petrie of her team's victory over Whitman. Junior forward Margaret We Weber ber led the way for the Bearcats, scoring 15 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. Leary, who is averaging almost five assists per game, dished out eight assists to go along with her eight points. V Women's Basketball NAIA Top 25 (as of Monday, Feb. 6) W L 1. Findlay, Ohio 22 1 2.

The Bearcats had already beaten West Western ern 78-69 earlier in the season, but the Wolves had been on a roll of late, winning 10 of their last 13 games. Junior forward Sandie Graves, a recent transfer from Oregon St., had improved Western's team im immensely, mensely, so much so that they were ranked 22nd in the nation coming into the game with the Bearcats. The Bearcats, playing as a na nationally tionally ranked team for the first time in history, built a small lead early in the game, but could not pull away from the Wolves until late in the first half. Leary knocked down a three pointer, and then sophomore guard Traci Shepard threw in four straight points. The 7-0 run gave the Bearcats a 32-27 half-time lead. "It helped give us momentum going into half-time," said Petrie of the quick surge in the Bearcat offense. Willamette came out an built a double digit lead early in the sec second ond half, but Western would not give in. They trimmed the Bearcat lead to five, but two consecutive steals by sophomore guard Jaime Welter, lead to two straight Willamette baskets. The Bearcat's lead never dropped below seven "It is an honor for our program." Head Coach Paula Petrie points from that point, as they came away with a 78-64 victory. Although Graves scored 25 points in the game, 14 coming in the first half, the Bearcats were able to shut down the rest of the Western offense.

After an up and down first half, the Bearcat offensive attack was running on all cylinders in the sec second ond 20 minutes. Junior guard Amy Ulrey drained four three pointers on her way to a team high 23 points. Ulrey also had 10 rebounds in the game. Willamette had three other players in double figures, as Weber scored 15 points while grabbing 16 rebounds. Joseph added 13 points, while Shepard had 10. One key to the Bearcat's suc success cess this season has been their abil ability ity to put points on the scoreboard. Entering the Western game, Willamette was 15th in the nation in scoring, at 77 points per game. In last night's home contest, Willamette faced Pacific for the second time this season, with the Bearcats havung won the first game at Pacific. Pacific entered the game minus their top scorer along with two other players. Nevertheless, they had two plaers scoring over 14 points a game, the conference's top rebounder, and the conference's leader in assists still in their starting lineup. Willamette devoured Pacific's half court trapping defense in the first half, jumping out to a 42-36 half-time lead. The second half turned out to be no different, as the Bearcats were able to control the tempo and come away with a 91-79 victory. Patillo lead the Willamette scor scoring ing attack, with 23 points, many coming off of offensive rebounds. Ulrey continued her shooting streak, bombing in three three pointers, in scoring 20points.

News 16 The Collegian February 10, 1995 TJXJA: Graffiti mars students' arrival at Willamette Continued from page 1 and I saw it. I brought it to another IPC's attention and we brought it to Mike's (Stanley, Senior IPC) atten attention tion and he handled it from there. I guess other people saw it too be because cause one of the RAs (Cameron) had seen it." Stanley confirmed Dorsey' sac sac-count count regarding the graffiti, which was comprised of the letters 'w' and 'u', each followed by periods with the words 'whites unite' writ written ten underneath. The phrase 'get di diversity' versity' was written next to the origi original nal graffiti, in an apparent rebuttal. "It was written in some sort of per permanent manent marker pen. It wasn't very big, but it was pretty prominent (because) it was in a stairwell," said Stanley. According to TIUA Director of Affairs Marty White, "It was appar apparent ent that (the graffiti) was intended to look like the Willamette Univer University sity symbol." Campus Safety officer Stacy Jepson responded to a call from Stanley. "We just went over and took a picture and put a log in to mainte maintenance nance so that they could take car of it. We told (Stanley) to cover it up just until maintenance could take care of it so that no one would have to look at it," she said White said that the graffiti was painted over by maintenance soon after the incident was reported. A separate incident suifaced Sunday night in Kaneko when a banner was reportedly stolen from TIUA. According to IPC Stan Brittain, "Someone took it to their room, but I don't know why." Brittain said that there were flyers in Kaneko Hall which he noticed on Wednesday that said that if the ban banner ner was not returned that the whole building would be fined $500, the value of the banner. It is unclear whether TIUA administration or Kaneko Residence Life staff put up the flyers. The banner, which read, "Welcome to TIUA," was hanging on the far end of the "pit" which faced the front entrance of Kaneko Hall, according to Brittain. It was his understanding that the banner was returned last night by an un unknown known source. Alleged graffiti in Doney Hall could neither be confirmed or dis disproved proved as merely a rumor. During Senate last night, Stanley, Senate's special guest, reported that the graf graffiti fiti stated, "Japs go home." Earlier, Stanley said that the "main reason that (the Doney graffiti) wasn't in the Campus Safety report was be because cause they thought it was an iso isolated lated incident. They were going to deal with it internally." Jepson said that she was unsure of what Stanley meant by 'inter 'internally,' nally,' since there would need to be a campus safety report filed regard regardless. less. There was no such report filed. "As far as I know, no one here knows anything about an incident in Doney," said Jepson. Neither of the two Resident As Assistants sistants contacted in Doney had heard anything about the situation and referred the Collegian to Resi Resident dent Director Samantha Murphy. Murphy in turn suggested that the Collegian contact Marilyn Derby, as it was "a situation that should be addressed by her." Derby reported that she had only heard of the Doney incident through a student contact. "I really don't know. I talked with the RD at Doney and she asked her entire staff and none of them had heard anything about it," she said. However, at Senate last night, Stanley stated that he had heard about the Doney graffiti "from Doney residents and from RAs as well." When contacted later last night, Stanley couldn'tconfirm who had originally informed him of the situation in Doney. "I've heard it from so many people now that I've lost track of where I originally heard it," he said. "I have less knowledge about that (graffiti in Done,y) than (that in Kaneko), because right now it' s un unclear clear as to what was there, if any anything," thing," said Derby. "I don' t know if (the student contact) saw (the graf graffiti fiti in Doney) or heard (about) it. It can be quite a changed story that I heard... the first time I heard about (graffiti in Kaneko) I thought there was much more written." Investigations of possible cul culprits prits in the Kaneko Hall graffiti incident are in progress, according to White. "We are in the process of inves investigating tigating the situation. We are check checking ing with the RD (Kelly Harrington) and the RAs in Kaneko. We are also working with the administration from Willamette," she said Thurs Thursday. day. Derby added, "This is going to be hard to pin down. Primarily we're asking around, asking questions like, 'Did anybody see anything suspicious; does anyone know any anything?' thing?' My understanding is that no one has a clue. I asked my staff and they didn't know anything. It wasn't like a gang of people were j ust stand standing ing around; it's just something that appeared on a wall. No one really knows where it came from. Noth Nothing ing has developed unless Campus Safety knows something that I don't know. I haven' t heard anything from them." Derby stated that the situation with graffiti in Kaneko is "a Cam Campus pus Safety issue primarily." However, Officer Jepson said that there was nothing that could be done about it. r "If nobody saw anybody doing anything, they can't do anything about it. For all we know, it could' ve been somebody from another part of campus or from off-campus." Kaneko Hall is open to the pub public lic during the work week, but ac according cording to RD Harrington, the "card locks are on all weekend." This means that only Kaneko residents can get in on a weekend. That doesn't mean that another Willamette student or even a non-Willamette-student could not have entered with a Kaneko resident. Suspected perpetrators would face an administrative hearing as out outlined lined in the Willamette Student Hand Handbook, book, according to Derby. "I'm sure that there are a range of sanctions the administration can apply to this situ situation." ation." Derby, whojoined the Residence Life staff in September, said, "I'm not really aware of any policies re regarding garding this kind of situation. I don't adjudicate those; (Dean of Residence Life) Rich Shintaku does. I'm sure that there is a policy on damaging property. In terms of racial (graffiti) I'm not sure there's a policy relating specifically to that problem... A lot of these things I'm learning as they come up." "As far as we are concerned I'm still trying to get all the facts because I have been so swamped. Basically, I have been working twelve hours a day and this is only on of the things on my plate this week. It's only one of many cases that I am working with right now," said Derby. Both Dean Shintaku and Direc Director tor of Campus Safety Ross Stout were unavailable for comment as both were away at a conference.

"(The graffiti) may have a correlation with the TIUA students arriving, but it is my belief that it is the fact the Residence Life screwed up that is causing the ten- sion," said Smith. "In my opinion, an estimated 80 of the people who are complaining about hav having ing a TIUA roommate are not an angry gry because they ' re getting a TIUA student, they're angry because the system messed up. There was no attempt to make it a experience positive. They (Residence Life) didn'tsay, 'You're having aTIUA student.

I don't think that these people are mad at the TIUA students; they're frustrated with Residence Life. Graffiti is intolerable no matter 1 what.

" "(TIUA students) may not be able to communicate all that well yet, but they have big hearts. That' s the important thing, but no one is willing to see that, though. They only see the communication bar- riers and the color of (the TIUA students') skin, which is a sad comment on American society," he said.
