family housing, In it, ho wroto
that Xlangui had contributed
much to thu complo* and de
snrvod a fair chanoo at an ox
tonsion. Noot Indicated In tho
lottor that ho boltnvos family
housing Is Inconsistent in such
docisions.
Although Driggs has no say
on housing docisions, Noot sent
a copy of the lottor to him.
Noot expressed concern that
"Chinese students aro often at a
disadvantage In our system be
cause thoy aro too polite to bo
abrasive and wouldn't considei
threats and retribution as ap
proprlato."
IUiggs responded with a lot
tor to Tendick that was eventu
ally shown to Xiangui.
In tho lettor, Briggs writes “I
rospoct tho ruins you havo and
thn difficulty in enforcing
thenv My experience with the
Chinese (as ono example used
in your letter) tolls mo that they
may bn polite, but thoy also
know how to work a system to
thoir advantage
"I’m told by my Chinese
friends that wo should bo strict
with them because they will
run all over you if you lot
thorn."
Xtangui and a friend.
Hlayang Yuan, director of the
Chinese Student Association,
decided to take action. Both
said they were outraged when
they saw the lottor
”1 was shocked," Xlangut
said "I told Darrell, 'This Is a
rat 1st letter.1 I can't stand for
this I can't believe that some
one In his position could say
this."
Xiangul said his interactions
with Briggs had been cordial in
the past, but ho "didn't get a
good feeling" from him.
Briggs said ho was simply
giving Tendlck advice on the

situation by telling him that
"rules are rule*" and should
apply equally for everyone
Briggs said ho was indicating to
Tendlck that the Chinese are
polite, but have ways of ensur
ing that they gel a fair shake, so
Tendlck need not worry about
the issue.
Over the years. Briggs said,
he has become acutely aware of
cultural differences and has
asked Chinese students for ad
vice on dealing with other Chi
nese peoplo.
"I’ve asked thorn to help
guide me,” Briggs said. “One of
the things some of them have
said is that if you give them a
chance, they'll take advantage
of It."
Briggs said he is anxious to
talk to Xiangui about the situa
tion.
”1 regret very much that Wu
saw (the letter) and was upset."
Briggs said.
ASUO President Bobby Loo
was also shocked by the letter
and said he would push for
Briggs' dismissal.
"IPs stereotypes like this that
we're trying to work against at
this University." Leo said. "In
our own administration, a man
working with students from BO
different countr'es says this. It's
totally unacceptable. The Uni
versity is not going to get away
with this."
Lee. who is Koroan-Amorl
can. said he takes the issue per
sonally.
"I've had to deal with this for
a long time, and to see our ad
ministration conducting busi
ness based on stereotypes is
just appalling," ho said.
Xiangui was given the exten
sion after ho enrolled for 3
credits fall term.
Tendick said that is tho stan
dard minimum requirement for
an extension, although some
exceptions arc made. Extension
requests are generally dealt
with by himself. Shari Donahoe
and Frank Gaddini. housing di
rectors at Westmoreland and
Amazon housing, respectively.
Tendick said he does not be
lieve the process of granting ex
tensions is discriminatory. Ho
added that he did not see
Briggs' letter as racist but sim
ply an advisement that "we
don't need to he overly con
cerned about (the Chinese) as
serting themselves."
