Brown recalled ”We have to go

Brown perceives that darkness

march he liked to finish it He
vowed he’d come bark "
Dr King did, of course, return

march by an assassin's bullet. f)r.

New class examines race, media and the law

Some professors pist teach,
but some professors can make
the curriculum come alive
Good professor* i an set fire to

make them want to devour as
much information as they can
about the subject
If Dennis Greene's interview
is any indi« ation. he is definite
ly a good professor
Greene, who is teaching a
course at the law school titled
Mass Media. Law, and the Dia
logue of Race, came to the Uni
versity via a very strange route.
Dennis Greene is « founding
member of the mush al group
Sha Na N'a. a former vie e presi
dent of Columbia Pictures, the
president of l.onov'Greene
Films and a playwright.
So what would bring a man
who traveled the world for ts
years with Shn Na Na and
played the original Woodstix k
to the University campus to
leach law? Well, according to
Greene, that was the plan all
along
"I had planned on going to
law si hool at an early age. but
-—--rrrr.
Dennis Greene, a professor at the law school, discusses race relations
as portrayed in the media and as they exist in the legal system
them I sort of put it off lx* ause of
othor activities like music i had
decided to go into motion pic
ture work and I felt that the best
kind of education I could get to
protect myself would lx* a legal

of racial issues in law and in the
mass media. The class is struc
tured as an open forum Readings
are assigned, and students are
then expected to participate in
discussions of the readings in
(lass
In developing the curriculum
for the class it was Greene's
hop# that students would come
away from the ( lass with a better
understanding of rat e relations
in general and of themselves in
particular
"Groups who have been his
torically victimised by mass
media and stereotypical depic
tions have to think in terms of
self-definition.
“Self-definition along with
cultural terms and using that as
a vehicle to sort of empower
themselves."
However. Greene said that
oven though the ( lass is about
race relations, no one needs to
feel that their lack of exposure to
other rates and cultures is a
handicap to them In that wav,
Greene said his ( lass truly is a
dialogue.
Before coming to the Univer
sity this winter Greene was
teaching at the City College of
New York His ( lasses included
the Social History of the Enter
tainment Industry, which he
taught previously at Yale, and
Mass Media and the Conflict of
Power, Having just finished
teaching in Now York. Oregon's
debate over multiculturalism is
rather foreign to Greene
“One goes to school and pacs
good money to be exposed to now
ideas and new people. It enables
them to become smarter, and to
get a job that will utilize the
knowledge they have at i) aired I
think there is great value to expo
sure to a broad range of cultural
issues and identities "
He also said that all classes
that fall under the multicultural
curriculum title should he of
value and not just token class
es. “Those ( lassos should speak
to people and educate them"
Greene also said that multi
cultural curriculum, like civil
rights legislation. ”... can’t be
given (tie back-handed treat
ment so that at a certain point it
(.an be pulled off the menu
because it didn't work. That
would be a crime. Because once
you pay the dues just like we've
paid the dues for civil rights it is
important for people to live by
those laws . So the people who
lived and died to create positive
social change were not dis
graced"
