TO ALL THE STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF WHO ATTENDED THE EMERGENCY MEETING WITH PRESIDENT FAINSTEIN ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO THE LATEST - AND TO ALL - OF THE RECENT BIAS-RELATED INCIDENTS: Thank you for your interest, support, energy, and willingness to speak and listen. Please continue to spread this conversation. A list of demands that was written and discussed by the students was assertively presented the president. We feel that for the first time a critical mass of students began to communicate productively with the administration. It is important to realize that these incidents involve and affect EACH AND EVERY MEMBER of this college community. This momemtum must continue, not only this week, but in the long term. A special thanks to Miranda and Diana for organizing this meeting.

A message to gralynne@msn.com (and all other racist graffitists:) Multiculturalism includes everyone; your racism excludes you. I am one of the many whites proud to actively support diversity. I am not scared of you or your weak attempts to intimidate people on this campus or elsewhere with your anonymous actions. My beliefs are strong enough that I will sign my name to them, and I'm no coward so I will. -Maggie Gentz x4154.

Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack an article by Peggy MacIntosh (1988), says, "I was taught to see racism only in individual acts of meanness, not in invisible systems conferring dominance on my group." On a list of 26 privelages of whiteness that she lists, #7 "I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race."

KEYWORDS: antiamerican; bias; multiculturalism
I am sick and tired of this. Our administration has been officially hijacked by SOUL (gay group), I-Pride, and other multiculturalism groups so that the adminstration follows their programs and platforms and makes everyone at this school having to take part in this crap. They are basing it on some racist incidents, however, the fact they keep doing this is basically giving the person(s) who have been sending these racist things out more recogniztion. These groups don't understand that these people want them to do this stuff! And now, they are closing the school! I am annoyed at this and I have had it already!

Tell your peers that the leader of the "impeach Bush" movement was an attorney for one of the original WTC bombers and that Mr. Ramsey Clark, as attorney, did his jailed terrorist client the favor of allowing him to make a phone call...to Osama Bin Laden.
Janet Reno enacted new rules after that - no more phones for terrorists to contact fellow terrorists and plot to mass-murder innocent civilians.
Tell your peers to study, think for themselves and quit listening to the lies of Chomsky, Moore, Scheerer and Mr. Ramsey Clark. I'll tell them, too.

Lee Wallace (Women's Studies Program, University of Auckland)
What is the relationship between film style and homosexuality? This paper, part of a larger project, The Sexual Life of Apartments, considers two films in which sexuality is less character-based than assigned by the cinematic space in which it appears.
