Indigenous art
Jeremy Forrest Emerald
Amy Whittingham, an undeclared sophomore, looks over one of Annelia Norris'exhibits in front of the pioneer man statue
Tuesday. Norris is a BFA student at the University of Oregon. The purpose surrounding her art is "to initiate conversation
concerning the effect of American colonization and the philosophy of manifest destiny upon the indigenous people. This
piece is meant to be educational, and will benefit all people by expanding and diversifying their intellectual experience."

Teach-in
continued from page 1
PATRIOT Act.
“It makes perfect sense to some
one, but not to me,” local political
activist Hope Marston said of the
act, which grants government agen
cies widespread authority to carry
out searches and surveillance on
people thought to be involved in
suspicious activities.
“What we are doing now with the
PATRIOT Act is accomplishing
nothing but the repression of all
Americans,” Marston said.
Marston also touched on the se
cretive government detainment of
thousands of American Muslims
following the 2001 World Trade
Center bombings as an example of
this new “repression.” Garcia also
spoke of these detainments and
other examples of racial profiling in
the United States.
Garcia said Americans have his
torically persecuted people because
of their ethnicity during times of
war. This “movable feast,” Garcia
said, can be traced back as far as
1848, when Mexican Americans ex
perienced racism and hate crimes
while the United States was at war
with Mexico.
This trend continued with the
treatment of Japanese Americans
during World War II and Korean
Americans during the Korean War.
Garcia said the racism aimed today
at Muslims in America is merely an
extension of this pattern.
Another issue covered was the
migration of political power to the
conservative side during the past
decade, leading to what English Pro
fessor Linda Kintz called a “resur
gence of effective racism.”
Kintz, a native of Texas, said
many prominent Southern politi
cians, such as Mississippi native and
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott,
have been tied to historically racist
organizations and have helped pass
what she said were fundamentally
racist policies.
Students shared many of the sen
timents expressed by the speakers.
“This conservative trend is tak
ing away resources from things
such as education and health care
and prioritizing military spending,”
senior sociology major Crystal Mid
dlestadt said.
The need for a common commu
nity goal was also emphasized by
one graduate student.
“White and non-white students
need to stand up for each other and
protect their human rights,” Javier
Ayala said.

Diversity

cruitment and retention of Native
American students.
“The pool of students is so small
that she gets the chance to make
personal contacts with everyone,
which is really helpful,” Hulick
Baiza said.
But reaction is mixed.
MEChA member Gerardo Ochoa
said he doesn’t think the University
has been doing an adequate job of
recruitment and retention of stu
dents of color.
“I think there is more to be done
before the University can claim to
be a diverse place,” he said. “The
University takes some pictures of
students of color for brochures and
posters and paints the picture of
color, ’Oh, welcome to this diverse
place,’ when it’s not.”
Ochoa said he thinks part of the
problem is the lack of multicultural
recruiters; the admissions office has
only one.
Many students of color do not
want to stay at the University be
cause it is predominately populat
ed by white students, Ochoa
added. And if the University had a
greater number of ethnic instruc
tors, many students might be
more inclined to attend the Uni

“We can’t just have faculty of col

Ochoa said. “All the departments
need to be diversified.”
Meanwhile, Admissions Director
Martha Pitts said she was pleased
to see the overall number of ethnic
minorities rise. Although the
number only grew by 122 stu
dents, Pitts said it is something
to celebrate.
“It continues (taking) us down
the road to success,” Pitts said. “I’m
happy with the increase, but we
can’t stall our efforts, and we need to
continue working on recruitment
and retention.”
