MEDIA BIAS
continued from page 1
journalists. 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.

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.
