New advocate seeks reform

New Multicultural Affairs Advocate Emily ler
ma has dreams of a “multlculturnlized" Universi
ty,
The ambitious fnwhman said that finding ways
to integrate multiculturalism into the University's
curriculum is her big prop* t for the term She will
start where former Multu ultural advwate, Yohan
na kinberg. left off by organising a Multii ultural
Reform Conference, and scheduling meeting* for a
Multicultural Currie ulum Task Force. sht> said
Kinberg. who left the University when her fam
ily moved to New York last term, was in the process
of organizing a ((inference which would inform far
uIt v and students about how to integrate multi
cultursilsm into everyday t urriculum
Besides < onlinuing this project. larrma said that
she will hold Multicultural ('urriculum Task Force
meetings, which will Involve faculty, admimstra
tors and students interested in curriculum reform
Derma, who w.n appointed multicultural odvo
<this term, smd that integrating student opin
ion is the key to multicultural curriculum reform
Several student group representatives at a meet
ing Monday night in (lie Multicultural Center said
they felt the host way to include muticultural issues
into the curru ulum is to develop an Ethnic: Stud
ies department and possibly a major.
According to Lerma. most other PAC-tO schools
already have such departments If the University
wants to compete with these schools we have to
offer an ethnic studies major, she* said.
Students at the meeting said it is an unrealistic
goal to expect every faculty member to integrate
multicultural issues into their courses in an effi
cient way because they do not have the training
to do so
"It's hard to integrate multiculturalism into the
whole curriculum when we don't have an ethnic,
studies program," said Multicultural Center Co
Director Daniels Diaz.

We wanted to dispel any had images people
have about Thailand and show a sample of how
the Thai people live," Suphaphong said.
The evening began with dinner of native cui
sine, such as sain ha i chicken, nasi lemak (coconut
rice), pad-thai (spiced noodles), fried tofu and
green curry c hicken gravy. Soon after, the chanti
