Occasion aims to unite minorities
I Weaving New Beginnings
celebrates diversity and
provides the opportunity
to meet fellow minorities
i --—__
By Jared Paben
News Reporter
For members of minority commu
nities on campus, tonight's ninth an
nual Weaving New Beginnings cele
bration is going to be like "a big
welcoming party," said Kimi Mojica,
director of diversity education and
support for the Office of Student Life.
'"Ihat's why it's Weaving New Begin
nings because we want faculty, staff and
students to get hooked up in this com
munity fast," she said. "That doesn't
mean you're all going to be best friends,
or you're all going to get this cosmic
connection with people; but the fact is
that you can be in a place where there
isn't the pressure of a classroom or so
cial pressures. The only thing is to meet
people and have a good night."
Weaving New' Beginnings will start at
6:30 p.m. tonight in the LMU Ballroom.
Lyllye Parker, program coordinator
for the Office of Multicultural Affairs,
said the celebration is primarily geared
toward new minority students at the
University, such as freshmen and
transfer students. It offers them the op
portunity to meet fellow minority stu
dents and professors and feel connect
ed, but faculty and staff also benefit
from the celebration as well.
"It's an opportunity for us profes
sionals to see each other," she said.
"You kind of get locked into your little
cubicle in your department and come
and go without anybody knowing
that you're here."
Parker added that the event also
gives instructors the chance to interact
with students in a less formal situation.
Event organizers said they don't
want people to think that Weaving
New Beginnings is only about provid
ing refuge for minorities.
'This celebration isn't to tell people
This place is a really hard place to be,"'
Mojica said. "We want the celebration
to tell people that people are here and
they're going to be here and there's
more people coming, so enjoy it and
take pan in it."
To facilitate the process of network
ing and socializing, Mojica developed
the "black books." The black books,
which debuted last year, are son of like
a treasure hunt for people. One page
says to find "someone who has had 'In
and Out' or 'Krispy Kremes,"' and below
that is a space for the person's name,
year or major and their signature.
The event always has some form of
entertainment as well. Previous years
have featured speakers, awards cere
monies and presentations from stu
dent groups. This year, event organiz
ers are planning to make it more of an
"intimate club atmosphere, trans
forming the ballroom to a city club at
mosphere," Mojica said. University
President Dave Frohnmayer is sched
uled to speak, and KWVA 88.1 FM has
volunteered to arrange the music. Free
food will also be available.
While the event is primarily for
minorities, everyone who is support
ive of their cause is invited to attend,
Mojica said.
She added that they expect a large
turnout at this year's event. In past
years the event has drawn anywhere
from 200 to 400 people. Last year's
celebration took place in the winter
and coincided with multiple campus
events but still drew 250 people.
"Last year people were here 'till
about 10:30 p.m.," Mojica said. "We
had to tell them OK, we re going to
clean everything up now.'"

DPS
continued from page 1
"They didn't seem like they liked stu
dents, but 1 don't think that holds
true for all of them."
I le added that there were some of
ficers who were very kind.
DPS Operations Lieutenant Herb
Horner said most of his relations
with students have been positive,
adding that students' reactions to
DPS may depend on the nature of
DPS-student interaction.
"It depends on the time of the day
and how much they've had to drink or
smoke or whether they're sober," he
said, adding that he knows the officers
are not always popular.
Homer said he feels the Bonertz in
cident will not permanently affect
DPS' image because every department
has "personnel issues."
Despite the varying opinions on
how students feel about DPS, some
students have ideas about how to im
prove the department's relationship
with campus.
Florendo said meetings between of
ficers and the student body might help
to revamp the DPS image adding that
officers should be more personable
and not act superior to students.
Kimes said she thinks a lot of DPS
services are unclear to students, and
people place emphasis on the negative
aspects of the department. She said if
there was more focus on the positive
services that the department offers, it
might improve the relationship be
tween officers and the student body.
Some of the current concerns
about the DPS-student relationship
will be discussed at ASUO's annual
Public Safety forum on Oct. 30,
Tarvin said. She added that DPS offi
cers' ability to issue citations, which
was authorized in the summer, may
be another potential source of ten
sion between students and officers.
"This is something of concern be
cause we students should not have to
feel threatened within our own
space, "she said.
Homer said DPS is trying to have
more officers patrol on bicycles, hop
ing that this will make it easier for stu
dents to interact with them.
"Just being out there and ap
proachable," he said. "I'm hoping
that it will give students a more re
laxed feeling about approaching our
officers. They don't bite."
