"The way to decrease racial tension is through
knowledge." Diar. said, "knowledge the Universi
ty is denying to students of color, but. most impor
tantly, to white students. If we are not educated
about each others' history, there will always In- a
gap between us. We cannot have such a gap in the
upcoming 21st century, when minorities will
become the majority."
The students said they were also concerned the
administration would use the cuts mandated by
1990's Measure 5 to justify cutting support ser
vices already stretched to the limit.
The administration responded to the charges
with a press conference of its own. where Office of
Multicultural Affairs Director Marshall Sauceda
and Loraine Davis, vice provost for academic
affairs, laid out steps the administration has tak
en to address student concerns.
"The students raised some of their perspec
tives." Sauceda said. "I think it's always healthy to
have the other side of the coin as well. To give a
bigger picture."
Sauceda said race issues have been a historical
problem in the state of Oregon.
"If you look a! student enrollment, you will see
(he numbers were quite lower just a few short
years ago." he said. "We have made progress,
albeit modest progress."
Sauceda said budget restraints make it difficult

for the University to recruit minority faculty.
Davis said despite those constraints. >he Univer
sity has made tenure-track offers to 10 ■under-rep
resented'' faculty and has so far received three
acceptances and one rejection.
"We feel that given our current recruiting sea
son. that is very positive from the perspective of
the potential to increase our numbers in relation to
minority faculty." she said.
Collins said the administration's response was
typical of how it has dealt with the issue.
"The administration has taken a few areas that
we discussed and has blown up those areas to act
like they really are fulfilling the needs of students
of color,” she said. "This is a matter of priorities.
Until this is a priority for (the administration),
we're not going to stop fighting for these issues to
lie brought to light."

from a different culture. She
said it is considered rude in
Asian cultures to say no to a
person.
Women are also safer in
Asian societies, said Shtgeoka,
who came to the University
from )apan in 1989.
"When I first came here
everyone said. 'What are you
doing walking by yourself at
night?"’ she said. "1 didn't
know any better. Back home.
you can walk alone at night."
Asian women do not under
stand they have to he more
careful and do not know what
to do when they are harassed,
Shigeoka said. In Asian cul
tures. sexual harassment is not
a common topic of conversa
tion. she said.
Shigeoka said Asian women
on campus should know they
can talk to people about
unwanted sexual behavior.
She said women don't have to
fill out official reports, but they
should talk to someone if they
believe they have been sexual
ly harassed.
The University offices of
affirmative action, internation
al education and exchange, the
ASUO, student advocacy, stu
dent counseling, public safety
and the dean of students will
talk to Asian women who
believe they have been
harassed.
If women fill out an official
report, the perpetrators who
are students can be punished
under the student conduct
code, Robertson said.

the dm# to leave her body, Jones said
The biggest concern for women is the irregular
menstruation the drug causes, Jones said. Several
studies show that up to 60 percent of women stop
having periods after their first year of using Dspo
Provera, Jones said. .
"Not having your period while on Depo-Provera
is normal medically, but if she's going to be nervous
about pregnancy the whole time, then it's not a good
method for her.“ Jones said.
Weight gain is another comrem, Jones said. Sev
eral studies show that up to 70 percent of women
gain three to five pounds after their first year of using
Depo-Provera. she said. However. Jones said, the
studies could not determine whether the drug
caused the weight gain, or if other factors, such as
aging, did.
Other side effects, such as headaches and cramps,
are less common. Jones said, but they should be
considered before using the drug.
Studies dispute whether Depo-Provera increases
the risk of cancer. Jones said
"The majority of studies find no increased risk of
breast cancer, though this continues to be discussed
among the experts," Jones said.
Some women, such as stroke victims or pregnant
women, can't use the drug. Jones said.
Women who want to become pregnant within the
next 18 months should not use Depo-Provera. Jones
said. because that's how long it taxes most women
to become fertile again after their last injection.
Nurse practitioners at the health center will talk
with students interested in using Depo-Provera.
Jones said. If the student seems to be a good can
didate for the drug, the health center will order it
for her. she said.
Depo-Provera works by keeping the egg tells from
ripening and being released from the ovaries. Sperm
entering a woman's body would find no egg to fer
tilize
The drug also thickens the cervical mucus so that
sperm have trouble getting through.
As final protection, the drug changes the lining
of the uterus so that an egg that has been released
and fertilized cannot stick to the uterus' walls and
develop into a fetus.
The Federal Drug Administration approved Depo
Provera for contraceptive use in October. It has been
available outside the country for almost 30 years.
Now. it is available in more than 90 countries.
Depo-Provera provides no protection against
HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.
