The tents of protesters have vacated the lawn of Johnson Hall, leaving behind patches of yellow grass.

ty committees and increasing the
number of students on the Univer
sity Senate.
Those involved said that they
will continue to push for these
changes, just not from their tents on
the Johnson Hall lawn. ASUO Pres
ident-elect Jay Breslow, who has
been involved with the protest
since it began, said meetings to de
cide what to do next should begin
this week.
“The protest was purposefully
done on a horizontal leadership
plain with no final leader,” he said.
“It takes a little longer, but every
one has a say.”
With the protest done, many stu
dents have been left wondering
what it actually accomplished. The
LCCC and senate met at their
planned, scheduled times and
Frohnmayer signed a one year
membership after the senate recom
mended him to do so, a promise he
made in a March 31 e-mail to the
LCCC.
“I don’t understand what the
protest accomplished,” freshman
pre-business major Giovanni Crotti
said. “I don’t think the whole thing
was justified.”
But Breslow and ASUO Vice
President Mitra Anoushiravani dis
agreed and said the protest was the
start for student voice and empow
erment at the University.
“The University Senate wasn’t
even involved until [Studentl Sen
ator Jereme Grzybowski brought it
in,” Anoushiravani said.
Grzybowski is one of the student
senators who also sits on the Uni
versity Senate.
Breslow, who, as president of the
student body, will be working ex
tensively with Frohnmayer, said
the protest definitely raised aware
ness about the WRC and labor is
sues.
“We’ve got the faculty rallying
behind us now. It’s not going to go
away,” Breslow said of the protest
ers’ issues.
Breslow and Anoushiravani
were part of a total of 14 students
arrested for trespassing during the
protest. Police arrested protesters
during a period of three days and

issued them citations when they re

by at 5 p.m. when the building
closed.
Although the protesters didn’t
?et exactly what they wanted,
Anoushiravani added that what
happened at Johnson Hall focused
frustrations students have been har
Doring for years now.
“The end result is semi-OK.
Things haven’t improved as of yet.
But I think they’re going to,” she
said. “I hope they do.”
On Friday morning the process
of repairing the Johnson Hall
’rounds began. Only a few rem
nants of the protest, which had be
come a sign of campus solidarity or
a campus eyesore depending on
who you ask, remained on the
steps. One of the building’s pillars
still displayed a “fight the power”
statement in sidewalk chalk and a
small yellow heart was still visible
on the ground near it.
“They did a good job of cleaning
up,” said Connie Kentta, a secretary
in University Vice President Dan
Williams’ office.
The Johnson Hall lawn did not
fare-as well as the concrete, howev
er. On Friday morning mainte
nance crews began reseeding the
dead patches of grass that were
turned yellow, almost white, by the
protesters’ tents.
“[The protestersl don’t have the
capacity to fix the lawn,” Kentta
said. “It’s depressing that the build
ing has to be damaged to make a
point.”
Kentta and Wendy Ruffner,
Williams’ other secretary, work at
desks right next to a window that
faces the Johnson Hall steps. They
noth described Friday as much
calmer than the days of protest and
Kentta simply called it, “wonder
ful.”
“It’s very nice to go back to busi
ness ... [The past week] was hard to
concentrate and hard to work,”
Kentta said.

need for people of all different back
grounds to work together to fight
discrimination,” ASUO Multicul
tural Advocate Hong Tran said.
“He provides a lot of examples
that make sense,” she said, “and it
makes you think about the in
equalities [in our country].”
For several years, Wise has been
making his way around the coun
try, speaking to everyone from
high school and college students
to labor union members to corpo
rate officials. In his crusade, he
confronts issues from institutional
racism to assaults on poor and
working class people from all eth
nic backgrounds.
This is not to mention his exten
sive work in other groups that
fight racism. He recently founded
an organization that is meant to
show white Americans that con
tinuing the institution and biases
of racism are not only destructive
to people of color, but destructive
to themselves as well. The group
is called the Association for White
Anti-Racist Education (AWARE).
One thing that makes Wise
stand out from other speakers who
fight for racial equality is that Wise
himself is Caucasian.
“There’s many people of color
who can talk from their experi
ences,” said Felicia Gustin, co-di
rector of Speak Out Speakers and
Artists Agency, which arranges
Wise’s visits to various locations.
“It’s not as often that you have a
white person, that is European
American, talking about why
whites need to get involved.”
Wise also possesses another
quality that makes him a dynamic
and skilled orator: honesty.
“He’s more like an in-your-face
kind of guy,” said Katy Ho, a senior
journalism major who is helping
organize Wise’s visit. “He tells the
truth. He says what’s on his mind.”
Wise’s visit is one that the
ASUO has been working hard to
organize ever since he spoke on
campus last year during the Edu
cation 2000 conference.
As the second keynote speaker at
the event, Tran said that Wise’s
speech was overshadowed by the
presence of the first speaker, bell
hooks, an African American author,
poet and professor who speaks out
on issues including racism and
feminism. Tran said she was disap
pointed about that because she was
really impressed with his speaking
style and what he had to say.
“It’s not boring stuff,” Tran said.
“He’s a really engaging speaker. ”
From this upcoming visit, the
ASUO hopes to create an annual
event in which a speaker comes to
discuss a specific topic on cam

pus. This year, diversity is the is
sue; next year, Tran said, it could
be something else.
While at the University, Wise will
be conducting or participating in
several different events. From 12:30
p.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, a
“Lunch with Tim Wise” will be
held in the Multicultural Center. All
students are invited to attend and
get the chance to speak with Wise.
In addition, he will be giving a
keynote address in the EMU Tues
day evening, during which he is
tentatively set to provide a speech
titled “Beyond Diversity: Challeng
ing Racism in an Age of Backlash.”
He will also be present Wednesday
night at a town hall meeting in the
EMU Ben Linder Room.
