By misrepresenting issues or negating inconvenient facts, advo cacy journalists are "trying to enlist you in their crusade," Wiley said. "It was an eye-opener," music edu cation graduate student Karen Palmer said of the lecture. "It shows how powerful the media is." Wiley also charged that reporter bias during the Vietnam War led to a warped impression of the war and its soldiers. Wiley said relations between reporters and American soldiers de clined so drastically that the soldiers referred to reporters as people who watched a battle from a hill and then came down to "shoot the survivors." The bias was so permeating that "they couldn't report it straight," he said. According to Wiley, a common myth of the Vietnam War is that soldiers were not greeted with appre ciation when they returned home. Wi ley said this conception is "pure unadulterated bullshit" that resulted from reporters simply not covering the large parades and demonstrations that welcomed soldiers. "The biggest demonstrations dur ing the war in Vietnam were pro-GI demonstrations," Wiley said. He said journalists and American media consumers can "change it all," and if they don't, "the price is going to be perhaps the loss of our freedom." Sophomore political science major Anthony Warren, a member of the College Republicans, said he hoped for a larger audience but was pleased with the lecture. "You really can't argue with the guy," Warren said. Chris Potter is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. NEWS BRIEF 41st annual International Week begins today The International Student Associa tion will host its 41 st-annual Interna tional Week, entitled "Kaleidoscope: Seeing Cultures in a New Light," to day through Friday. According to the International Week Web site, http://gladstone.uore gon.edu/~asuoisa/inight2004.html, the purpose of International Week is to bring cultural awareness to the Uni versity community and general pub lic. The event kicks off today at 11 a.m. with a parade down East 13th Avenue, followed by an opening ceremony in the EMU Amphitheater. "(International Week is) not just a way for (students) to open their eyes to different cultures, but it also allows them to get involved and leam about the cultures," ISA President Matthew Yeowsaid. Cultural events — including dances, concerts and morning exercise hours — begin every day at 10 a.m. and run until 9 p.m. "International Week is very diverse, and it shows cultures from a different view," International Week Events Co ordinator Silvia Wang said. "There will be henna, a tea ceremony, origa mi and presentations." The week will also feature a presen tation on intercultural business com munication, foreign films, games, an art exhibition and poetry from around the world. The foreign films include a Singaporean movie entitled "I Not Stupid," a Swedish movie called "Together" and the Spanish movie "Talk to Her." "I would definitely go for Interna tional Week, just to have fun and learn something new," freshman Remi Naga ta said. "Also, I heard it is one of the largest multicultural events on campus, so I want to go and see it for myself." International Week will conclude with International Night on Sunday, which includes dinner at 5 p.m. and a show at 7 p.m. The complete schedule of events is available on line at the International Week Web site or at the International Lounge in the EMU. — Reese Lee CAMPUS Monday Art exhibit featuring Bachelor of Fine Arts painting by Meghan Calhoun and Miki'ala Souza, BFA sculpture by Lee Ann Peterson and BFA ceramics by Rosemary Raburn, today-April 15, LaVerne Krause Gallery, Lawrence Hall, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Opening reception 6-8 p.m. Duck Days 2004, a series of campus visit pro grams for prospective students and their families, EMU, noon-5 p.m. Portfolio Mentor Group, about ways to create a re sume or professional portfolio, led by Joyce Mc Cracken from the Career Center, Room 244, Hen dricks Hall, noon-1 p.m. Continues Mondays through June 7.
