Black Student Union protests campus paper

■ Photo stirs protest by BSU on the east side of Cavanaugh Hall.

A picture u y s a thousand words.

Last Thursday, approximately 150 people attended a rally organized by the Black Student Union in protest of a photograph that appeared in the M onday. O c t I I issue of The Sagamore. The cutline failed to report that no gun was found and no arrest was made.

The rally attracted students and faculty, local media and members of the Black Panther Militia.

“It gives the inclination or the implication that all these black students that are going to school here are criminals," said Mmoja Ajabu, Black PantherMilitia.

The photograph showed student Kevin (Kay Kay) Williams, a black student, being searched by an IU P D white officer, Alfred C . Paul.

"T h is is a rally for the African American student status here at I U P U I." said Joseph Bledsoe, president of the Black Student Union.

"When you look at media coverage- such as our campus paper- that is a

negative image," said Bledsoe.

‘T rent (McNeeley, editor-in-chief of The Sagamore) had the last word,"

said Bledsoe, meaning McNeeley was ultimately responsible for the photograph.

"W e want an explanation." added Bledsoe.

McNeeley admitted to an error in judgment. "1 agree with the concerns that have been brought forth to me, that the headline and cutline that accompanied the photograph were incomplete and did not tell the whole story/* said McNeeley.

The resignation of McNeeley was demanded by leaders at the rally.

"A s to calls for my resignation at

this time. I see no reason for this. I feel that I have learned from this experience to be more culturally sensitive. Now. with that knowledge.

I think The Sagamore can better address issues of concern to the African American community,"

stated McNeeley.

Though there is no intention to resign on behalf of McNeeley, the protest leaders made note that they will not rest until he is no longer editor of The Sagamore.

"Wc*re not basically asking you (M cNeeley), we're basically telling you. we're going to protest until you resign," said Bledsoe.

The sentiment was reiterated by

David Fredrick, who stood beside Williams throughout the rally. "On this particular day of Oci. 14. 1993, the sleeper of this university has awakened and the sleeper will become the noisemaker, the bcll- raiser, if something no less than the resignation of this man (McNeeley) is done "said Fredrick

It was further fueled by Ajabu. ’T h e editor needs to go." be said. "The policy where there is nobody of African heritage as an editor, position of power... until that happens there should be some way that the paper should not be able to print."

McNeeley reminded the student body that there is no policy barring

African American editors from the staff; there has simply been no one from the minority community who has become involved enough and put in the necessary time to become an editor.

Ajabu said "if the university did not come out and make it be known that they (the administration) do * not support that kind of behavior, they need to take the necessary steps for the university to be responsible."

The response from the administration was announced by Tim othy Langston, dean of student

■ Madame Walker Theater hosts dedication of science and engineering facilities.

B y T o m Free balm CMtnhtiq to Tht Sagamm

The celebration of IU P U I'* 25th anniversary will kick off with the dedication of the new science, engineering and technology buildings at 1 pro. on Nov. 2 in the Madame Walker Theater, 617 Indiana Avc,

The complex was completed this spring and the schools finished

moving from their former campus on 38th Street this fall.

The dedication will be the celebration of a new era for the university, according to David Slocum, dean of the School of Science.

"T h e greatest significance is the physical unification of the School of Science and the School of Engineering and Technology with the rest of the IU P U I campus," Slocum said.

"It already has had very positive consequences for the students, faculty and university as a whole." he explained.

The dedication ceremony will include remarks from I U President Thomas Ehrlich as well as administration, faculty and student representatives from the science, engineering and technology schools.

After the festivities at the Madame Walker, there will be the unveiling of dedication plaques for the new buildings followed by tours and demon-strations.

The buildings are located next to each other south of Michigan Street on Blackford Street.

The public is invited to attend these events to herald lU P U I's unified campus.

University among first to install system

■ Computer registration eased by new program.

The heartaches o f college registration may be eased some this semester by a new computerized registration system.

School officials announce a new on­

line computer system that will allow students to register for classes at one of the university's computer clusters or at home by way of a modem. This method promises to be easier and more efficient than current means of registration by providing up-to-date information on classes.

The system will be available to students in time for spring registration.

The new computer registration

system takes advantage of technologies developed from current computer systems. It is pan of lU 's two-step program for quicker, more efficient registration. The plan also includes an enhanced touch-lone system, which currently serves as the primary means of registration for most students.

The older system of scheduling included in-person registration and the touch-tone system. The in-person registration will continue for the present time but may be eliminated in the future, according to associate registrar of systems Russell Vainer.

The touch-tone method o f registration was introduced here about five years ago. At tha* time IU P U I was among the first universities in the country to install the plan, which allowed students to schedule classes at home by using a touch-tone phone instead of having

to register at the campus.

The on-line computer system was developed through thousands of hours of research. It was tested last summer in Bloomington with approximately 4,000 students and also here in Indianapolis with approximately 1,000 students.

The com p u la registration system is easy to operate. It uses a method of letters and numbers similar to programs on computers installed in the new library. The program automatically screens for scheduling coo facts that may occur.

Lab assistants in the computer clusters will be trained to assist all of the students during registration.

However, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the system ahead of time in one of the computer clusters.

The use of computers will allow students to see their schedule as they

make it. It also promises to be much quicker than touch-tone or in-person registration.

"Once you’re comfortable with the right schedule, created by the Personalized Schedule o4 Classes system, and it's your lime to regista.

you can be registered and be gone in five to ten minutes." said Vcrtncr.

IU P U I lias worked with Indiana Bell Telephone to help improve touch-tone registration by establishing

"dedicated" circuits to help eliminate possible overloads on the IU P U I telephones, and several other measures.

Touch-tone enhancements planned include being able to register for

multiple semesters and

accommodating alternative courses for dosed classes.

The new on-line computer system will be available to all students in time for spring scheduling.

Education Commission releases initial report

■ General education for undergraduates reviewed.

G reg B icke rs Tlu Sagamcrr

The Commission on General Education, created in 1991, at the behest of the Council on Undergraduate Learning and the Faculty Council Academic Affairs Committee, has released its initial report.

The Commission endeavored to develop a centrally coordinated approach to general education for IU P U I undergraduates, yeneral education has traditionally been addressed through each school.

Three approaches were considered by the commission: the distributive approach, which identifies specific course requirements within a given area; the core curriculum approach, which identifies a set of courses required for all majors; and the process approach, which focuses on student experiences and coordinating these experiences across all disciplines.

‘T h e process approach, howeva.

doesn’t intend to put in place a product, or set of courses. It puis into place a process that is ongoing and continuing." said Edwanl Robbins, School of Education chairman.

The program results arc not measured by traditional yardsticks which only indicate if a student completes a course at an accepted grade level. Course assessments will continue to incorporate standardized testing such as written and oral but will also encompass other criteria like community service and co-cunicular activity portfolios that certify the

quality of the students’ participation and contribution.

The final assessment will be based on a capstone experience of a major presentation before a panel of cross disciplines.

"One of the things we’re working on most diligently is to try and find ways to support faculty and units who are inclined and interested in doing that."

said Robbins..

"Process in general education, under this rubric, is an ongoing enterprise."

According to Robbins, the university can tak^ credit for process applications already occurring. In those cases the schools may wish to look at options and alternatives for doing more or examine what is not being done.

The commission hopes each academic committee will begin to look at options for implementing process principles in their units.

Robbins said eight working groups designed around each principle will consider interdisciplinary or

"interconstitueocy" perspectives and will have faculty, students, and staff from all units.

Self-awareness, according to the principles established by the commission, becomes pivotal in a student's maturation to interact within their community.

Process curriculum bridges the gap between classroom theory and reality.

"Bridging the Gap Between School and Real Life," School Science and Mathematics, Oct. 1992, describes the importance of students addressing real world problems.

Clarification of O ct 11 front page photograph

■ The Sagamore responds to controversy about negative images.

B y T re n t D . M cN e e le y TkiScgawure

In the Oct. 11 issue of The Sagamore, a photograph appeared that generated a great deal of controversy in the IU P U I community.

The photograph showed a black male being searched by a while IU P D officer.

The culline information accompanying the photograph was incomplete. It should have read as follows:

“ Kevin (Kay Kay) Williams was

searched last week in front of Cavanaugh Hall for suspicion of possessing a firearm by Alfred C.

Paul. IU P D officer. No weapon was found and Williams was neither charged nor arrested

However, in retrospect. The Sagamore editorial staff realizes that the photograph should not even have appeared as a newsfeature photograph, due to the tack of a complete story about the incident

The photograph was not intended to impugn the reputation of either Williams or Paul, or to portray the African American community in a bad light.

For a more complete response from The Sagamore, please see the editorial titled •’Ethics" on Page 5 of this issue.

■ Role of The Sagamore explained to IUPUI community

L

ast week, this new spaper w as besieged by students upset o ver a photograph that appeared on ou r front page.

In som e ways, that is good, but in others, it is bad.

Let m e outline the controversy.

W e showed a student being searched by an IU PD officer who suspected the student possessed a firearm. That is w hat the accom panying cutline stated. No m ention was m ade as to w hether or not the student was charged or arrested. In a society where a m an theoretically remains innocent until proven guilty, we thought the cutline was apdy descriptive.

According to many, we were wrong. W e can accept th a t W e agree that the cutline should have been m ore com plete. W hile we stand behind the photograph and original cutline as being both true and factual, elaboration might have averted som e o f the outrage.

W e also agree w ith m any that the accom panying photo headline,

“Spread ’em ," was far too light­

hearted for such a photograph.

Again, with hindsight, we could have been m ore sensitive.

However, that is as far as the clarification will go.

M any believe that we should go further and apologize to the entire African Am erican com m unity. You see, the student being searched was an African-Am erican and many feel that the reputation o f a

^ n jn y ity working hard to avoid stereotypical image's in society was damaged.

C ertainly, m y intent and that o f The Sagamore staff was not to im pugn the reputation o f African Am ericans in the com m unity. Far from it. W e simply attem pted to report the new s as it happened.

As I have said repeatedly this week, we are still learning. That is the benefit o f being a student newspaper. W e can learn from m istakes now, so we do not make them later in life. However, in a nation o f 250 m illion, no two people respond to a situation in exactly the sam e manner. It is this diversity that m akes o ur nation great, while making it difficult to gauge what som e consider

“offensive” and others do not.

As to charges that I am personally a racist seeking to impugn the African Am erican com m unity, I contend they are false. W hen we d ecided to use the photograph, the race o f the m an did not even enter my mind. The photographer even obtained verbal consent from the subject to use the photograph (even though this was not required, since the event occurred in a public area).

I have been called m any things in my life, but I have not been called a racist in m any years, and this is why.

I went to Basic Training in the sum m er o f 1986. There I had three drill sergeants assigned to m y

platoon. S g t Dawson was the youngest o f the three. This was the first such assignm ent for the soft- spoken African Am erican soldier.

A bout seven weeks into training, we were to perform a com bat simulation. Dawson called som e o f the recruits over to have a talk before the “battle." In one brief phrase, he changed m y life.

Dawson said, “This may not be real com bat today, but som eday it might be. And I know m any o f you harbor prejudices. Just rem em ber this: if you do n’t cover my ass out there simply because I ’m black, why should I cover y o u rs? '

I was knocked o ver with a sudden realization. I had been guilty in the past o f prejudice. Yet, on that day, I realized that we are really m ore alike than different. W e have different cultural experiences, but we are all hum an beings. If you cut me, do I not bleed?

So w hile The Sagamore m ade a mistake by not providing the com plete story, we are attempting to correct it. However, I hope people will think twice before

“playing the race card" and making m ore out o f a situation than it warrants.

After all. som e o f the responsibility must be shared by the African A m erican com m unity. In spite o f num erous attempts to recruit minorities, the calls have largely fallen on d eaf ears. W e have too few minorities on staff for a university o f this size. T o remedy this siriiaiion, fliers were placed in nearly every school this sem ester seeking staff members. To date, m ore than 30 individuals have inquired further. Only one was A frican American.

If we cannot achieve diversity in our new sroom , the chance o f another m istake occurring remains high.

Please take the time to let us know when som ething is going on in the com m unity that you feel deserves coverage. W e will d o our best with our limited resources to cover it. W e cannot cover every story, and our role is not to produce

“p u ff pieces" for the university.

However, when something positive exists, like the m entor program sponsored by a black fraternity, we will cover i t

Also, please note that if you have a problem with the new spaper, this office is where to turn. I have the ultimate responsibility for putting out this newspaper.

If you do not like my response, the next step up the chain is the Board o f Student Publications.

They can be contacted through the publisher. Patrick J. M cKeand. His telephone num ber is 274-2976.

Again, let me repeat that when we do m ake mistakes, we are morally and ethically bound to correct them. However, with your help, we w ould prefer to avoid them altogether._________________

Room for Improvement

■ Introductory science courses could be changed to adhere to non-majors’curriculum.

hang a large number o f facts and theories on a broad framework.

I w ill use an example from geology. Most of the broad processes of geology such as earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, etc. are now tied to the theory of plate tectonics. This , theory says that the processes mentioned above are products of the qpper, rigid layer of the Eanh being formed of a number of independent plates that move about over vast times and interact with each other.

The theory o f plate tectonics is itself built from a framework of nested theories and assumptions, some more compelling than others.

The problem with teaching freshman non-majors concepts made up o f theories and assumptions is the likelihood that a fair percentage of these will be outdated in five years. This can disillusion former students who worked their brains out to learn all the jargon and theories only to read a newspaper five years later and find that the knowledge they worked for is yesterday’ s news.

This would not be the case if the true nature of science was taught in a forthright and forceful manner. It is my observation and opinion this is not case in the majority o f the classes I have taken. I should stress that there are notable exceptions, such as the professor I graded for, but I think that such exceptions should be made the standard.

History shows us that science is a changeable field of knowledge.

Newton’s “ laws” o f gravity were once seen as the final word on the

subject until Einstein showed that they were only an approximation of reality. The idea that the Earth’ s crust moved was ridiculed until new technologies to explore the oceans' floors and date crustal material were invented after World War II.

The very essence of science is that new observations drive knowledge mercilessly forward and the best scientific models of what reality is change, sometimes with dizzying speed. If viewed and taught in the correct manner this guiding principle of science will show the true excitement and fascination of science to most non­

majors. A n interest in science lasts a lifetime because there is always something new to learn.

In many classes here at IU P U I the essence of science seems to be given short shrift and many theories and assumptions are taught as “ facts.” While, in fairness, most professors do allude to uncertainties in some theories, it is almost as an aside as they hammer out the “facts.”

It is my impression that most students are so intent on taking notes to get the “ facts” that they don’t even hear the asides. After all, they are going to be tested on the “ facts,” not the uncertainties.

I don't feel that there is evil intent on the part of science professors.

Rather, I think that these good people have moved up through the more advanced classes in their college days and joined the ranks of scientists where the essence of science is so ingrained it need not be given much thought.

These professors need to realize that many lay people sec the pronouncements of a science teacher as something akin to gospel.

Cures for this problem are fairly simple. G ive an hour lecture bn the essence of science at the start of every semester. Reword exam questions to reinforce uncertainty when it is warranted instead of testing for a “ fact” that may not be. Stop relying exclusively on multiple answer tests. Add a few essay questions to make people think about what they are learning.

These are small steps to take to promote an ongoing interest in science and serve the truth.

It should be stated first that teaching an introductory science course is an extraordinarily difficult task.

■ Guns do not kill, people do.

In response to the editorial, “ Bang, you’re dead,” I felt the urge to respond. For the benefit o f those who have not been exposed, 1 offer the following:

It is true that it can be called bumper- sticker logic but the statement is true:

“Guns do not kill people, people kill people.” I can take a handgun, chamber a round, pull the hammer back and set the weapon on the table. Said weapon will not harm anybody until someone picks it up.

It is not the gun that kills, it is the operator behind it. There are some good points:

“W ith rights come responsibilities.” This should address the issue of adults who leave firearms where minors can access them.

Safety. Safety. Safety.

M cK ay suggested “ mandatory death sentences for crimes involving guns.”

Bravo! C iv il libertarian concerns aside, this is one point where she seems to place the blame where it belongs. One would think it ludicrous to punish the gun. W hy is this?

Because the gun is not responsible for crime, it is the criminal.

Please think twice before suggesting

liberties be restricted because deviants deem it necessary to shoot common citizens.

M Professor outraged by photograph and caption.

I cannot imagine what The Sagamore editors were thinking of when they decided to run a photo of a young man being frisked by a police officer.

The photo was accompanied only by a caption naming the young man and indicating he was under suspicion of canying a gun.

Whatever suspicion the officer may have had. verified or not, is now superseded by the collective suspicion of your readers and directed at a clearly identified individual.

The consequences to him may be very grave indeed.

Beyond that, the image of a white officer frisking a young black man will be a profound inducement to racism on this campus.

A ny awards conferred on you for

journalistic excellence should be stripped away.

Patrick J. McGeever Professor/Political Science Editor's Note: Due to the number of responses to this photograph, more letter* on this subject will be printed in future issues.

■ Racism works both ways.

After reading the letter against the K K K , I want to say that I agree w ith most of it. I.

too. am against any racist organization that preaches superiority of their race basqd solely on the color of their skin.

I do not. however, agree with the idea of participating in a Black Panthers Militia meeting to protest against the Klan being here. Has he not read his history books about the Black Panthers? The name itself recks of racism. It bothers me that while the K K K is recognized for the racist group that it is. the Black Panthers are not. A ll these two groups represent is the same thing, just on opposite ends of the spectrum.
