Black faces and
noose spark protest
(API — A group ofO regon State University
students and staff joined community members
outside ReserStadiumjust before a game against
Washington on Saturday night to protest con­
cerns about racism on campus.
About 50 protesters marched in front of the
stadium.
Roshawn Davis, an Oregon State senior in
liberal studies, said she and others felt com ­
pelled to speak out after a "Black Out Reser”
event to show school spirit at a previous foot­
ball game included some students wearing black
face paint and Afro wigs.
Some students were also angered by a noose
hanging on the front lawn of a fraternity house.
While it was later discovered that the noose
was left over from a Halloween fundraiser at the
fraternity, students were still bothered by what
they considered a symbol of lynching.
Joakina Mode, a senior in communications,
said she was attending the protest because "I
feel like I don’t have any other outlet to voice
my feelings."
Mode said she feels she is constantly having
to educate white students about issues of race on
campus. "I don't feel like I’m just a student." she
said. "I feel like I have to be a teacher.”
The controversy started when Oregon State
junior Casey Grogan encouraged students to
wear all-black clothes to a football game to
show school spirit. Orange and black are the
school's colors.
A photo appeared of a white student in
blackface promoting the idea, and the Hallow­
een noose left outside a fraternity house fed
concerns among some of the university’s 297
black students.
The white editors of the student newspaper.
The Daily Barometer, said they didn’t think the
photo would offend.
But many back students tied it to an insen­
sitivity they feel they often face at a mostly
white campus in a mostly white state.
Some say they face isolation and hostility
and are weary of dealing with what they call
white ignorance of their history and culture.
"It’s very difficult to be part of such a small
community on this campus,” said Shannon
Warren, 23, one of about 25 mostly black stu­
dents who met Thursday with university Presi­
dent Edward J. Ray and other school officials.
“You’re always on guard because you never
know what’s going to happen.”

hasn’t been punished enough.
"My father forgave him and my fam­

with God’s law,” George Wallace Jr.
said in Montgomery, Ala. "Then there
is m an's law. I doubt the punishment
has fit the crime."
The Alabama governor made his fa­

in 1963, decrying the enrollment of two
black students at the all-white Univer­

Justice Department and the National
Guard.
Wallace recanted his segregationist
stand later in his career and won his final
term with the help of black votes.
