Mthough the t Diversity has
finally begun to emhrui >• the
issue of imiliKulturalism on tins
i nmpus multi-intellei tuaiism
has remained sadly forgotten
Ihe l Jniversity has propagated
a trend toward mom stringent
admission requirements. and it
lias been increasingly a« tive in
socking out new far ultv with
doctoral degrees and advam ed
research
The alarming path the leader
ship of our l ’mver-sin has under
taken has resulted in the oppres
stun of an oft ignored hut
extremely prevalent, segment of
our community We are the
oppressed We are the inappre
i Cited W e are the exploited We
are those who i onsistently spell
potato with an e We i annul
speak lor few ol us know how
and none will listen to pun ause
It is not only the f 'niversity
officials hot the students who
have discriminated against us
Kxi ept for the Insurgent, whir h
has been e\i eptioual m ret riot
mg from our nuniliers. we remain
underrepresented in nearly every
othet student organi/at ion on

Hut we will no longer take this
lying down.
