students in the state with the lowest
reading, writing and math skills from
the elementary to the high school
levels. Reading scores show that o f
the 59% o f Hispanic students that
met state standards in third grade,

show an appalling drop form 40% to
12% at the same grade levels.
Anthony Quinn Dead at 86
B y A ndy S eiler
The Mighty Quinn is dead. An
thony Rudolph Oaxaca Quinn, the
Oscar-winning star whose bravura
screen presence often was bigger
than the movies in which he acted,
died Sunday at a Boston hospital. He
was 86 and had been living in Bristol,
near Providence. Quinn died o f respi
ratory failure, Providence Mayor
Vincent “Buddy” Cianci, a friend o f
the actor, told the Associated Press.
Q uinn’s family had asked Cianci to
make the announcement. The actor
had been hospitalized for 17 days
with pneumonia and respiratory prob
lems . Quinn led a roguish life and was
as devoted to his many lovers as he
was to his acting, which included
varied title characters, from Zorba
the Greek to The H unchback o f
Notre Dame, and from the painter
fame with Federico Fellini’s unfor
gettable La Strada (1954), in which
he played a loutish strongman. He
then won supporting-actor Oscars
for Viva Zapata! (1953) and L ustfor
Life(\95b).
Q uinn's affairs were uncountable,
including such stars as Rita Hayworth

Next Fall 2001, over 4000 ELL/

38% increase over the last two years,
still only 5 million has been allocated

Over 44,000 ELL/ESL students
throughout Oregon will bring well-
over 100 million dollars to school
districts throughout the state ($2,500
per student).
At issue this June is the ongoing
lack o f fair funding distribution o f
ELL/ESL funds. Legislators are ex
pressing support for this issue be
cause the funding that the 1991 leg
islature passed, which provides an
extra 50% funds per ELL/ESL student
(aprox. $2500 each), is not being used
by the school districts the way it was
intended.
The Salem District march will fo
cus on the same issue, the lack o f fair
distribution o f the funds that each o f
the district’s 4000 ELL/ESL students
bring in each year. The trend for the
past ten years has been that only
about 30% o f the extra funds have
Anthony Quinn won an award for his contributions to the arts at the 14°'
annual Hispanic Heritage Awards at the Kennedy Center in Washington,
D.C., in September2000.

1968’s The Shoes o f the Fisherman.
Bom o f a half-Mexican, half-Irish
father and half-Mexican, half-Native
American mother, Quinn often said
he had no nationality — or every
nationality. Officially, though, he was
a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Quinn was conceived during the
Mexican Revolution, in which his
father fought. Dirt poor, he moved to
Los Angeles as a child, took acting
classes at architect Frank Lloyd

Mae West. Barrymore saw the imper
sonation, cursed Quinn to his face,
then brought him into his circle of
boozing womanizers.
In the 1940s, when Quinn first be
came a star, anyone remotely exotic
was simply termed “ethnic.” Quinn
was long typecast as a swarthy for
eign menace, though as early as The
Ox-Bow Incident (\ 943), it was clear
that with his hyper-masculine line
delivery and striking looks, he could
have become a latter-day Valentino.
W hat he became is something
greater, stepping up to international
and Maureen O ’Hara. (He said he
fought off advances by Mae West
and director George Cukor.)
On the other hand, Quinn pro
fessed to believe in monogamy, and
had outbursts o f rage when he real
ized his lovers had been with some
one before him.
Quinn ’ s rascally behavior was not
confined to off-screen antics.
“I could be a capricious bastard on
a motion picture set,” he said. For
years, director Elia Kazan liked to
recount that Quinn revealed obscure
details about Mexican life that en
riched K azan’s Viva Zapata! Quinn
told him that Mexican soldiers se
cretly communicated by banging
rocks or whistling. But Quinn admit
ted much later that he had made these
details up. “I have lived a joyous life,
but I am not a joyous man,” he once
confessed. Though his life was full of
joyous experiences, he said he de
rived little happiness from them.
“Below the high, always, was the
nagging reality that I was built on a |
cheat,” he wrote. “I have been a cheat
in my work, and in my life.”
But Anthony Quinn cheating is
more exciting than others playing fair. •
