television executives, the box lets viewers pick which
video gets played next. Bv i ailing a lH)0 number and

Gerald Ramp, owner of Channel ret. likes this kind of
viewer participation
"This is the ultimate step you < an take in opening up
the programming." Ramp said.
On the first night of the new format. Ramp saw a C'eirth
Brooks video followed by a heavy metal one
"I'd be willing to l>et that then- was a person in his for
ties making the first call, followed by someone in bis
teens," kamp said.
The on-demand, free form fonn.it of the lx>\ allows such
radical shifts from video to video. A iside variety of artists
are represented on the plnv list, which is updates! ssia>k
Is The casual viewer will find more rap and alternative
music offered on the box than on mainstream outlets such
as MTV
"I like the idea that we can pins a lot of music that
doesn't get shosvn otherwise." kamp said

"1 am glad to see the effort
being made It's better than
being complacent." Pham said
Wall and fellow organizer
Derby Johnston agree there may
be omissions in this event. They
maintain that such problems
arise when trying to organize
any event of this nature.
"How can we know the prob
lems of the students unless they
step forward at an event like this
and let us know?" Wall said
"We just want people to come
so we can identify and disc uss
these problems," Johnston said
Wall said she believes bias, to
some degree, is inevitable in
present-day American society.
She said it is the personal
responsibility of individuals to
reduce their own bias.
Johnston also believes that
examples of prejudice and bias
can be seen on campus every
day. She said racial slurs and
gawking at homosexuals hap
pens too frequently on campus.
She also said that sexual assault
is something people cannot hide
from.
"It goes back to this riddle —
there are four women in a room
One is your mother. One is your
daughter. One is your sister.
One is your wife. Which one
will be raped in her lifetime7"
Johnston said.
Crimes stemming trom hate
may he on the rise locally.
Human rights organization lead
ers claim to have fallen victim to
vandalism and harassment by
white supremacists, according
to a Nov. 10 article in the Emer
ald.
Racial tensions in America
also seem to be taut with the
Rodney King and Reginald
Denny beatings. Recent allega
tions of racism were leveled
against the Emerald in posters
hung across campus.
Hate Free Week began last
year with a focus on violence
toward gay groups. This year,
the event encompasses a variety
of groups that feel vit timized.
The forums this year will also
address a wide range of issues
like safety on campus, sexual
harassment and sexual relations
among faculty members.
Hate Free Week is (wing sup
ported by the ASUO Safety
Affairs, the Standing Committee
for Lesbian. Gay and Bisexual
Concerns and the ASUO
Women's Center.
