AAA School to sponsor guest lecturer
By Sarah Skidmore
Oregon Daily Emerald
Native American cultures deal
ing with unresolved grief to create
healthier communities is one of
the issues author Dr. Maria Yel
lowhorse Braveheart will address
in her University speech.
Braveheart, director of the Taki
ni Institute, will present from her
work, “A Return to the Sacred
Path: Heal Historical Grief Among
tire Lakota" on Saturday, Oct. 31 at
2 p.m. in Room 115 Lawrence
Hall. The speech is co-sponsored
by the Native American Studer;*
Union and students from the
School of Architecture and Allied
Arts.
“The healing process is some
thing that all communities can
learn from,” said Tracey Althans, a
graduate student in the AAA school
who helped coordinate the event.
Issues concerning space, cultural
identity and their relationship are
the overall focus of Braveheart's
speech, NASU and AAA represen
tatives said. Specific issues to be
addressed include: increasing
awareness of the experience and
history of Native people in the
United States and throughout the
Western Hemisphere; the needs of
students of color on campus; and
the integration of issues related to
cultural and social values into cur
riculums across campus.
The students participating from
the AAA school felt that Brave
heart’s presentation was necessary
in a time of “intense hostility against
many ethnic groups.” Althan said.
NASU feels that Braveheart’s
presentation is an aide to the cam
pus because of her background and
the awareness she will develop.
“She is an example of someone
who has survived a lot of trauma
and come above the stereotypes,
preconceptions and ideas of what
Indians are,” said Kristin Parr a
NASU member.
Braveheart’s speech is one of
many presentations sponsored at
the AAA school that raise aware
ness and representation of people
of color, Althan said.
A panel presentation will fol
low Braveheart’s speech.

consultant, will challenge stu
dents to find and critique sublimi
nal messages.
Wurscher said one of his goals
is to demystify sex and help peo
ple start- the process of opening
their eyes.
"Reproduction and sex are used
to sell everything, and that’s kind
of sad," Wurscher said. “Metham
phetamine use looks similar to
sexual arousal but we shouldn’t
call them the same thing.”
Wurscher said he believes
many students who attend semi
nars like his are there for personal
reasons.
"A lot of people are working on
their own issues, and they're pret
ty thirsty to get more informa
tion,” he said. “Some people have
the media angle, some people
have the sex angle, some people
have the drugs angle and some
people just need the credits and
have the time.”
Wiant said Wurscher presents
information with a lot of humor so
it’s not controversial.
“I think sex in America is funny
enough as it is,” he said.
For students hoping for free
bies, “there will be no live acts
and no samples," Wurschersaid.
For more information about the
conferences contact Miki Mace or
Karen Wiant at 346-4136. Stu
dents can register for the confer
ences through the registrar. Stu
dents enrolled in the topical
seminars must complete assign

RECENTLY,
MORNINGSTAR CALLED
US CHEAP.
ITS NOT EVERY DAY
YOU GET A COMPLIMENT
LIKE THAT.
A II financial companies charge operating fees
A. and expenses — some more than others. Of
course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better.
That way, more ol your money goes where it
should—towards building a comfortable future.
We make low expenses a top priority.
As the largest retirement system in the
world' — a nonprofit company tocused exclu
sively on the financial needs of the educational
and research communities — our expenses are
among the lowest in the insurance and mutual
fund industries.2
In fact, TIAA-CREF's 0.31% average fund
expenses are less than half of the expense charges
of comparable funds.1 It’s why Morningstar—
one ol the nation ’s leading sources of annuity and
mutual fund information — says, "At that level
[TIAA-CREF] is cheaper than any other
[variable annuity] policy, and is even compet
itive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes,
though it oilers far more benefits. ”"1
“TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the
financial services industry.”
Ol course, expenses are only one factor to
consider when you make an investment decision.
Mormngstar also noted our commitment to
"consumer education, service” and "solid
investment performance." Because that can
make a difference in the long run, too.
At TIAA-CREF, we believe people would
like to spend more in retirement, not on their
retirement company. Today, over two million
people count on that approach to help them
build a comfortable and secure future. So
can you. To find out more, call us at
1 800 842-2776. We’d consider it a compliment.
