Racism 101 Covers Campus Prejudice
Aiuia Hammarskjold
News R e p o r t e r
Among the various workshops during Diversity Day was
"Racism 101." With over seventyfive people in attendance, the
event was momentarily delayed
due to technical difficulties. John
Rehkop introduced Janice D. M.
Mitchell of the Gennan Department as the presenter, and Melba
Goodwin of Records Management
as her assistant. Ms. Mitchell explained the content of the presentation, stating that it would consist of an hour long \ideotape on
racism on college campuses
across America, and an hoiu" long
discussion following the video
presentation. The videotape,
"Racism 101," was part of the
"Frontline" series on PBS. The
tape discussed racial prejudices
on college c a m p u s e s across
America Among the various campuses covered was the University
of Massachusetts. In October 26,
1986, the last day and game of the
World Series between the New
York Mets and the Boston Red
Sox came to an end. Unfortu-
nately, the Red Sox had lost. Some
white students at the University
got into a small skirmish with
some black students. Seven black
people and three whites sustained
ii\juries as a result of this.
The next day, at neighboring Smith College, "Niggers,
Chinks, and Spies, get out!" was
found spraypainted across the
wall of a building on the campus.
Another example was the
University of Michigan. It all
started with a small radio station
run by the school The radio station, WJLX, received a phone call
from a man that said that he would
Uke to teU some jokes. The radio
station person told him go ahead.
He proceeded to tell some racist
jokes aimed at black people. The
whole campus shook with anger
at this particular person. Some
small riots broke out on campus.
Black students at campus quickly
formed a union to protest the racism happening on campus. They
had a few demands. One of the
demands was that they wanted to
see black eiurollment increased.
The coalition met with the university president who, at first,
refused to give in to the demands.
Finally, the students called in Mr.
Jesse Jackson to help them o u t
Some demands were agreed to,
and the president agreed to increase black enrollment to 12% of
the total student body, plus pay
incentives for black faculty,
among other things. The person

gized for his actions.
The University of Michigan
addressed the issue of affirma­
tive action, which allows blacks
to get jobs or admissions in col­
leges based on quotas. It was
found that blacks were generally
perceived as "stupid." Fortu­
nately, things have begun to
lighten up for the University of
Michigan. In 1988, the enrollment
of black students went up to 5.7%
fi"om 5.6%. H owever, the black
student union at the university
was quick to point out that at that
rate, the university would not
reach its goal of 12% enrollment
of black students until the year
2050. In 1988, on February 15th,
several students at the school
decided to close the doors and
cancel classes to hold special
classes and workshops to teach
the community about racism, very
much like our Diversity Day. This
particular day was named "Unity
Day." The video continued with
other campuses and also covered
the Greek system. The Greeks do
not, for the most part, include
blacks. The University of Michi­
gan was one of the few higher
institutions to sign non­discrimi­
natory pledges. A few blacks
pledged, but most blacks hesi­
tated to do so, not because the all­
white Greek organizations were
against them, but rather because
their black friends were against
the idea of their friends joining an
all­white greek organization.
There are some all­black fraterni­
ties on campus. However, they do
not participate in Greek Week
because many of their rituals date
back to segregation days. The
black people feel that the white
greeks would not understand their
rituals. Attempts have been made
to integrate the black Greeks with
the white Greeks, but these at­
tempts have failed.
The video p r e s e n t a t i o n
ended with an alarming statement
that many racist flyers have
popped up at the University of
Michigan. They have all been sent
to the F.B.I, but, at the time of the
taping of the video, it still re­
mained unsolved where they
came from. Ms. Mitchell then
moderated the discussion that
followed the viewing of the tape,
and asked what the audience
thought when they saw or hesird
t h e word "racism." Various
thoughts on the word 'racism'
were mentioned, such as igno­
rance, oppression, insulting, pain,
segregation, fear, attitude, atti­
tude of action, hate, stupidity,
confrontation, intolerance, anger,
and power. Mitchell then made
her conclusion with the question,

swered in essay type, was doing
something that was viewed as
racism. The question was "What

Another question was "Is

everyone?" The conclusion was
that, indeed, it did not. Everyone
had different experiences and
definitions of the word racism
Mitchell defined institutionalized
racism as follows:
"The bigoted, prejudiced or
racist practice of hiring, paying,
and benefitting in corporations,
colleges, governments, etc. of
their employees. The misinterpre­
tation ofAffirmative Action policy
perpetuates a misunderstanding
of people of diverse backgrounds,
eg. not promoting diverse employ­
ers to highly visible positions of
authority." For example, here at
Gallaudet, the President's Coun­
cil consists of all whites, all but
one male. Mitchell also stated that,
in the last five years of her twenty­
five years here at Gallaudet, she
has only seen one course pertain­
ing to African­ American history,
and only one course involving
African­American literature. She
asked us all to remember the video
presentation's closing that insti­
tutions change faster than people.
Mitchell feels that whites have to
confront each other about this
particular issue. Closing com­
ments from Mitchell included the
statement that "college is where
you open your mind, not close
your mind," and that a commu­
nity means living together and
understanding each other.
curriculum?" Dr. Goldberg said
in the newspaper. On The Green,
that 91% of the teachers here are
white, including NWC as well as
Gallaudet. The other 9% is made
up of different races.
There was discussion about
foreigners coming to America and
being rejected by Americans. Is
that racism? Yes, because Ameri­
cans haven't recognized their cul­
ture and are more of avoiding the
idea of having to accept them.
Karl Ewan quoted a black
deaf advocate from Los Angeles,
California: "Gallaudet University
is truly a racist in its own form."

Election Committee
Responds to Allegations
News Staff
Speaker of the Student Congress, Karl Ewan, and Election
Week '93 Chairperson, Mark
Bellone, responded to charges
made by the Stephen Hardy/Barry
Solomon team of violations
against the SBG Election by-laws
by the election committee and
denied jiny wrongdoings.
Former Student Body Government President Stephen
Hardy and Buff and Blue Editorin-Chief Barry Solomon had
charged the Election Committee
with six violatioi\s; most of which
focused on technical aspects
listed in the SBG bylaws, and
some that raised concerns of
Speaker Ewan and Mr. Bellone's
neutrality in the election.
Among the charges filed
were concerns that a write-in
space should not have been
placed, to which Speaker Ewan
responded that any such move
would have severely restricted
"personal
civil
liberties
...and...the rights to free speech
and expression."
The Hardy/Solomon team
also charged that the Jonathan
Kovacs/David Eberwein team
had violated the bylaws by posting a letter of reprimand on the
Hardy/Solomon team from the
election committee "within a 25
foot radius of the voting booths."
Speaker Ewan responded that
there were in actuality, two letters sent, one which was sent to
the Hardy/Solomon team, and the
other which was sent as a notice
to the Kovacs/Eberwein team.
The notice sent to Hardy/
Solomon was intended as a formal notice of reprimand, whereas
Kovacs/Eberwein got an official
notice. Speaker Ewan went on to
say that, upon receiving the letter, they could have done anything they wanted with it.
The Hardy/Solomon team
also alleged that the voting area
was "inconvenient and voters felt
intimidated" in the Abbey.
Speaker Ewan and Mr. Bellone
replied to that by saying that they
received no other such complciints.
Ewan and Bellone had also
answered to other charges, and
ended the letter saying, "In closing, we demand a public apology
from you ABSOLVING us of these
libelous and slanderous accusations."
President Hardy responded
to the letter, saying that he has no
comment until the official investigation by the University is completed.
Vice-President-Elect David
Eberwein also refused to comment on the grounds of the impending investigation.
The Deaf Minority Experience
Melissa Boer
News Reporter
Getting a late start at 10:20
am in Elstad Auditorium, the first
Diversity Day workshop, moderated by I. King Jordan, was underway. A panel featuring Deaf minority leaders, Gleim Anderson
(an African-American on the Gallaudet Board of Trustees), Robert Davila (a Hispanic business
man in the National Captioning
Institute), Carolyn McCaskillEmerson (a former Miss Gallaudet winner and African-American), Rosie Sema (a Hispanic
woman working in the Texas desif
community) and John Yeh (an
Asian Pacific businessman)
brought together a discussion of
how racism has affected their
lives.
Audience reaction was positive overall, despite the predominately white matrix. As Carolyn
retold the experiences of her sister with discrimination in the
work place, one older man
spewedforth, "It wasTHEBRloss!"
The business incidently had been
fooled by McCaskill's last name,
which is of Irish ancestry, and so
when they met her in person and
found she was black they told her
the position was filled.
The call for action was
brought in by Robert Davila who
said, "Our words here mean noth-
ing unless we act!" Jordan then
questioned the panelists on what
steps they thought ought to be
taken. Concrete examples such
as Dr. Julianne Malveaux's call to
the president to put a person of
color on the Gallaudet Cabinet
were few but the general consensus agreed on the need to educate
and heighten awareness of prejudices. McCaskill and Davila both
raised the need for role models
and teachers of color for Deaf
children of all ages. Job selection
on the basis of a candidate's qualifications rather than skin color
was another idea resonated by
most of the panelists.
As audience members took
their turns on stage, many sported
their own symbols of diversity.
Pink ribbons pinned to the shirts
of many of the audience members revealed their support for
the inclusion of gays, lesbians and
bisexuals in Diversity Day awareness. Speaking on the issue of
Asian distinctions, one Asian man
spoke of the importance of the
term "Asian Pacific" rather than
"Oriental" to distinguish people
from a Southeast Asian background. "Asians believe being
Deaf is a curse. It means in your
former life you did horrible
things," said the speaker. "1 wonder if I should go back to Korea
and try and teach them otherwise."
Question of the Week :
Is there apathy on campus? If so, how would you change that?
Jeff Beardsley
Jeffrey Dean Gannon
Yes, there is much apathy
on campus. To change that, you
should be more involved because
you're socially responsible for the
campus. You should stand up for
the rights you believe in.
On the ball We need education allowing for more student responsibility and voice. Students
seem to be quite patronized here. It
would seem difficult to have students grow to assume responsibility if they are restricted and not
"allowed" to do so.

Credit 1i*ansfer Procedures at Gallaudet Questioned
Stephanie R. Chester
News Reporter
Rosa Mann, the Transfer
Credit Specialist at the Gallaudet
Adnussions Office, feels that there
are many misconceptions among
the students in regards to credit
transfers from other universities.
Because of these perceived mis­
conceptions, and because one­
third of the freshman class is
transfer students, Mann clarified
for the Buff and Blue what the
regulations and requirements are
for transfer students.
In order for students to
transfer to Gallaudet, they must
have a grade average of 'C or
higher. They must send an official
transcription and a catalog from
each college or university they
have previously attended. Stu­
dents who transfer to Gallaudet
from Co­op and independent
study must provide I.E. syllabi,
which demonstrates their perfor­
mance in those courses. H igh
school, Development, Prepara­
tory and Degrees are not transfer
courses. Ms. Mann is responsible
for evaluating each course on an
individual basis to determine if
the course is a transfer course or
not.
Transfer Foreign Students
also must provide an official tran­
script. But unlike American stu­
dents, foreign transfer students
must bring a course syllabi and an
explanation from the teachers at
their previous school of how the
grading system works in their
country. The reason for this ex­
planation is because the grading
system in other countries differs
from Gallaudet and other univer­
sities in America and their grades
must be converted to the Ameri­
can grading system. For instance,
if another country says that 85 is
an A grade average, that A would
be converted to a B since 85 is a B
grade average in America
Many transfer students of­
ten complain because Gallaudet
usually does not accept all of the
credits that they earned at other
schools. According to Ms. Mann,
there are two main reasons why
transfer students lose credits.
First, some of the schools that
transfer students attended have
quarter systems. Since Gallaudet
has a semester system, the quar­
ter system must be converted to
the semester system, and credits
are dropped during this process.
The formula used to make this
conversion is to multiply the quar­
ter hours by two and divide the
result by a three. So, following
this, five quarters equals three
semesters, four quarters equals
three semesters, three quarters
equals two semesters, two quar­
ters equals one semester, and one
quarter equjils one semester.
Another reason why trans­
fer students lose credits is that
many of these students tend to
change majors more than once
after studying a particular mzyor
for one or two years. The courses
that they took before changing
the m^or often do not apply to
their new mayor and some of the
credits that they earned in these
courses are often dropped. This
is to prevent studentsfromgradu­
ating with much more than the
normally required 124 credits.
Students who wish to at­
tend summer school at another
university, who are Academic
Dismissed (AD) from Gallaudet,
or students who are on a Leave Of
Absence (LOA) must receive per­
mission from Gallaudet to take
courses at another university.
Those on leave of absence, with
proof for their leave, may be per­
mitted to withdraw without pun­
ishment and can come back to
Gallaudet anytime they wish. But
those who are academically dis­
missed (AD) must provide proof
that they are serious about study­
ing if they wish to come back to
Gallaudet
Ms. Rosa Mann is currently
working with the committee CUE
to establish a process for non­
fransfer students with life experi­
ence for possible transfer credits.
She wants to award transfer cred­
its to those who have worked for
many years and decided to come
back to Gallaudet to get their de­
grees. She feels that these people
deserve credit for their work and
life experience.
Students can appeal or chal­
lenge their transfer credit evalua­
tions if they feel they should have
received credit for a specific Gal­
laudet equivalent or general edu­
cation credit for a course taken at
another college or university. The
appeal may be nnade to Mann,
who will then resubmit support­
ing documents to the appropriate
department chairs on the
student's behalf.
Ms. Mann can be reached at
the Admissions office, where she
has walk­in hours from 9 ­ 10am
and 2 ­ 3pm, Monday through Fri­
day. If these hours are in conflict
with anyone's schedule, he/she
can make an appointment to see
her. She can also be reached via
email to ADM MANN.

Gallaudet's Pea ce Corps
Partnership
Melissa Boer
News Reporter
The Peace Corps Partner­
ship program has targeted a group
of thirty Gallaudet students, led
by Judy Rosenthal, to work for
the benefit of the Centre for the
Deaf in Lesotho, South Africa.
This center, run by Catholic nuns,
relies on the meager funds of stu­
dent tuition of which, in many
cases, is waived for students un­
able to pay. The school plans to
try and raise money to fund a
collection of rabbits to raise and
feed to the children. The Gallau­
det group plans to assist with the
fundraising through their own
efforts, and plans were made
during the group's last meeting to
invite William Welch, an ex­Peace
Corps volunteer in Lesotho, to
come to Gallaudet and give a pre­
sentation on his experiences
there. A slide show and discus­
sion of the Peace Corps in Lesotho
will be the focus of an April 28ih
event in the Art Exhibit Room of
the Ely Center. Donations are
gladly accepted.
Joining for a variety of rea­
sons, the students of the Peace
Corps Partnership plan to con­
tinue their work on the behalf of
deaf citizens everywhere, notjust
at Lesotho. An enthusiastic Judy
Rosenthal "welcomes all other
Gallaudet students to get in­
volved." Anyone interested may
contact her through vax at
JFROSENTHAL.

Ok, the Election's Over...
Neil J. McDevitt, Jr.
Managing Editor
Ok, folksies, it's high time that we finally recognize
that this election is over; that Messers J. Kovacs and D.
Eberwein won; that Stephen Hardy and Barry Solomon
lost their bid. Plain and simple. Of course, we have our
charges that were filed, but on the face of it all, they seem
really superficial now.
Some of you may have read my editorial last week
right after the election. If you noticed that there were
negative vibes shooting out from it, you noticed right. I
was a tad (just a tad..) sore that the guys I voted for lost.
Let's get on with it. Drop the whole thing, and let it all
slide.
BUT NO!
We have people in the NOTES conferences who are
presentiy screaming about everyone else's fraternal affiliations.
SO WHAT if Kovacs/Eberwein are members of Kappa
Gamma? Will that impede them in their work for us, the
students of Gallaudet University? I, personally, don't think
so. It's not a factor in the race, and in the decision-making
process. Maybe they got some help from their fraternity
brothers. If so, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
If they do happen to do a bad job, then we can have
them impeached, same way we could have had Bush
impeached (which I really wish we did long ago). All it
would involve would be a simple message to your Student
Congress representative. That person will make the motion.
The bottom line here is this: That we, as students, are
not involved. We suck at getting involved. Some of us
would rather eat dog excrement before we get involved in
the SBG. A popular rallying cry was "Fight Apathy!"
Are we?
Apathy here on this campus astounds me. I asked
someone if he was going to the Rock Festival on April 25,
and what did I get back from him? "Well, because it isn't a
frat party, it'll be boring.."
Now, that, kids, is apathy. The guy won't go JUST
because it's thrown by the SBG.
We have three organizations that serve you, the student body. Buff and Blue is one of them. You are involved
right now, as you read this editorial. Your reaction will
count.
SBG is another: It decides where we go as a student
body with the administration and the world at large. We
put them there.
Tower Clock gives us the chance to look back at our
years here, after we've long gone, to remember the sweethearts, the people who should never have came, the jocks,
the nerds; all those wonderful people who make up GALLAUDET UNIVERSITY.
Get involved. FIGHT APATHY!
This is a quick letter to mform the campus
community of the happenings here in the
Buff and Blue regarding drculation and
printing of this paper. As some may know,
our origmal printing company, The Record
Printing Company has gone bankrupt, and
no longer is in operation. We, the management of the Buff and Blue were not aware of
this at the time.
We, have, at presstime,located another
printing company who will meet out printing needs for the rest of the semester. The
management of the Buff and Blue wishes to
thank the student body for their patience
and understanding in this mattei:
Don't Leave

opinion, or suggestion.

LET'S TALK
Dealing With Grief or Loss
Lisa WeUander, LGSW,
clinical social worker
Everyone at some time in
his/her life experiences a mzuor
change. Sometimes the change is
moving away from home for the
first time. Maybe it's getting married or divorced. Orachangecan
mean a mjyor loss of some kind;
like a pet, a job, a family member
or a friend. Loss can be a difficult
kind of change to deal with but,
like everything in life, it is something that happens and it is important to leam how to deed with
loss so that people can go on living full lives.
Grief is a natural, necessary
and healthy process. The more
we can understand grief and why
we experience it, the more we
can grow and recover from loss.
Each person deals with grief in a
different way. There are no right
or wrong behaviors when grieving. There is not a specific time
frame that a person has to grieve.
For example, some people are
able to deal with a loss within the
year. Others need more time to
recover firom the loss of a loved
one. However, putting off grieving or telling yourself that it
doesn't matter will only put off
the process of grieving and the
ability to move on with your life.
Some common reactions to
m ^ o r losses that people experience include shock and denial,
feelings of anger, guilt, depression and loneliness. These are
often thought of as phases some
people go through when they are
grieving. When a person first
learns of a loss, it can be difficult
to beUeve this has happened and
the tendency to think that it has
not happened is normal. After a

while, some people begin to feel
angry that the loss occurred; they
feel angry that they were left to
deal with the loss and the pain,
angry that this happened to them
andnottosomeoneelse. At times,
the anger can lead to feelings of
guilt. For example, some people
feel that if only they could have
done something to prevent the
accident or death or loss, then the
person would be alive today. Feelings of sadness and loss can develop into a depression and a loneliness that can feel pretty isolating. Sometimes, a person feels
that only he/she is the only one
feeling this way, and that the feelings won't ever go away. It is
important to keep in mind that
crying is a natural part of grieving
rather than a sign of weakness.
Crying helps to release tension
and stress and is a healthy way of
expressing feelings.
A very important part of the
grieving process is believing that
things will get better, havinghope.
Once acceptance of the loss has
occurred, people can feel that they
can go on to continuing their own
lives. This does not mean that the
pain of the loss goes away, or that
people will forget about their
loved ones who have passed on,
butthat the good times and memories can stay and be apart of their
lives.
Dealing with a loss means
taking care of yourself emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. It is important to talk about
yourfeelings, to express your grief
by reaching out to people you
trust. This may mean talking with
a friend, a coimselor, a teacher or
a priest/rabbi/minister. In addition, getting plenty of rest, eating
correctly, and allowing others to
assist with everyday chores are
all important beneficial ways of
coping in a healthy way with loss.
Sometimes physical symptoms
persist, like headaches, dizziness,
or inability to sleep or concentrate. All of this could be stress
related, and you should go to your
doctor to have this checked out.
As stated earlier, one of the best
thingsaperson can do when deal-
Operator I've got a collect call from Washington. Will you

The incident sparked a minor melee and emptied both

game for their entertainment. My
thought is that the league has always been clean and harsh in dealing with problems so the players
should leam to deal with the incidents better and be better role
models for their fans.
With just three weeks of
school left, there are still many
things to do and plenty of athletic
contests to be played so come and
