The Salem/Keizer School District
has the largest population o f Latino
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,
only 24% could meet reading stan­
dards in high school. Math scores
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/
ESL students will bring 30 million

education. This next year, after a
38% increase over the last two years,
still only 5 million has been allocated
for the programs necessary for their
success.

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

annual Hispanic Heritage Awards at the Kennedy Center in Washington,
D.C., in September2000.

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
W right’s urging to erase a speech
impediment, and made his stage de­
but in 1936 spoofing John Barrymore
in Clean Beds, a play by sensation
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. •
