Willamette students rally
to protest campus racism
SALEM (Al‘| A rally to de
plore racism at Willamette Uni
versity drew hundreds of stu
dents and faculty.
Friday’s rally was part of a
day-long condemnation of rac
ism on campus. Most profes
sors discussed racism at the be
ginning of their classes Friday.
The events followed by a
week the posting of hate mes
sages on the door of a black stu
dent's dormitory room.
Vice President Frank Meyer
said Willamette officials had no
idea who posted tin- racial
slurs An investigation is con
tinuing. he said
"We come to condemn this
and all acts of bigotry and at
the same time contemplate our
own complicity in a societal
web of prejudice that permits
these acts," Charles Wallace,
Willamette's chaplain, said.
Some speakers at the rally
also mentioned another recent
racial incident at the universi
ty. in which two students posi
t'd racist signs as a joke.
Meyer said the students were
not suspended because officials
determined that they did not
understand that their actions
were racially insensitive
During the speeches. Lisa
Johnson, a Willamette senior,
handed out handwritten mes
sages urging faculty to do more
than denounce racism.
She urged the university to
hire minority faculty members
and to encourage more minor
ity students to enroll at the uni
versity.
Willamette has no black pro
lessors. )ohnson said She also
noted that the school offers no
courses in black history
