We artists have been bested by kawika Holbrook again [ODE, Dee :))! His original attack was di rected against members of the marching band I have used the word "artists" in reference to them and myself. Some people don't consider marching band as art. I maintain that it is suffi ciently art-like for my pur poses. As a jazz musician and a painter. I'm no less offended just because the attack was against the marching band. First he hoots at the perform ers for their incompetence, then chastises them for not making the most of the pre cious gift he has made of his in tellect. He is truly the better man. Well . enough irony Hol brook said. "In your attempt to find some truth in me you can begin to find the truth within yourself." Well, thanks for the offer, but we would rather spend our time searching within our mu sic. our painting, our writing, our dancing, ourselves You aren't worthy of the same re spect As for his remarks to the ef fe« t that we are doing ourselves an intellectual ' disservice" in calling him names and doing other nasty things to him. I should say this my sense ol logic is equaled only by my willingness to he* illogical That's what it means to be an artist. Holbrook. Therefore. I'm free to slap him. call him a mongrel dog. and beat him like a mule in print without sacrificing my in tellectual honesty. Hoy. 1 hope he comes to my recital next month I'd get a real kick out of hearing his "criticism" of that Todd Bidhop Music Humbled I want to personally and for mally thank each and every stu dent who signed the wonderful letter of recognition of my work [ODE. Dec. 4). I speak from the heart when I say that at no time during my 25-year teaching career have I received an honor that I consid er greater than the letter by the Native American students. It is an honor to work with Indian students and all stu dents of color on this c ampus You are the reason that I come to work each day Your strength of survival, in telligence and humor keep me going and constantly remind me that as an Indian woman I am never alone. There are many others who also deserve recognition With out the help and support of the Indian community and tribal leaders, I could not do my |oh Dr Robert Proudfoot as the only Native American tear long faculty on campus, has been an island ol strength not only for Native American students but for me as well My family and elders have taught me to lie the liesl person I can be. and 1 have a long path to travel yet I am humbled by your recognition and caring Thank you Dianna Kale Chodiw/Quapiw Faculty All we can be What can we conclude from the editorial (O/JK. Nov .10) "Guardsman's refusal a noble concept?" That Operation Desert Shield is a cynical, self-serving stupid piece of foreign adventurism? Certainly. That we should commend those few soldiers who have re fused to deploy to Saudi Arabia for constitutional or moral rea sons’' Maybe (The legality of the build-up is questionable, but so is the sincerity of "con scientious objectors" in a vol unteer army) Thai the editors of the Knwr aid are naive, arrogant and hypocritical bigots7 Absolute ly. How dare they characterize those of us in the military as subservient, apolitical sheep incapable of thinking for our selves I know it is expecting too much for the editors to actually talk with some of us stu dent reservists about how we balance our rights as i itizens with our duly as soldiers, hut you would think a group so publick committed to sensi tivilv" would pause before en gaging in such vicious stereo typing Matthew P McCallv.
