Show Friday. January 18. 1991 The Daily Utah Chronicle - Page Three students need strong role models Minority college environment. The campus appears to be a "fairly sterile place." Also, higher education institutions Susan Williams Chronicle Staff Writer By should include more If improvements in education are going to occur for minorities in higher education, changes must first occur in grade school, panel members said Thursday at the University of Utah. Ronald Aramaki, of the University of Michigan Office of Minority Affairs, speaking at a Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration discussion, said preparing minorities for higher education must begin in middle school or before, and educators must also "demystify" college campuses for students. Vinetta Jones, Education and Urban Studies dean at Morgan State University, agreed that basic changes need to be made in education to prepare minority students to continue in school. Minority students report feeling a "sense of isolation, invisibility," and exclusion from the mainstream. "There is a climate within the campuses that is very demoralizing and acts to reduce the attention rate and minimize the level set for minority students," Jones said. Jesse Soriano, multicultural specialist at Weber State University, said from what he had seen at the U., no pictures or signs suggest that the U. campus has a multi-cultur- curricula, multi-cultur- Soriano al and said, professors should be sensitive to not only the needs of minorities, but to the needs of all students. "The arrogance of an instructor, a professor who says in the first day of class, 'At least 75 percent of you are going to fail this class'," is inappropriate. "This kind of thinking has to be changed," he added. Donna Deyhle, associate professor of educational studies, said statistics from the past decade show that white Americans receive more extensive educations than do African-American- s, and that Hispanics, Puerto Ricans, and American Indians do not go as far in the education do. system as face Aramaki said the education in American struggles system, though they are different from those of other minorities. African-America- Asian-America- make up less than two percent of the overall U.S. population, but have more representation at universities, he said.

Jones said other minority students lack role models in many fields. Universities can improve education for minorities by supporting minority faculty and Asian students also lack role professors, valuing pluralism and allowing personal experiences to enter the classroom. One of many myths that must be dispelled is that "educational success or failure is within the complete control of the individual, and, in America, anybody can make it," Jones added. reactions from page one corner of the world, can attack a free people not a democratic people, but a free people, and just take someone over like that, and fluctuate world economies, and hold the world in his hand like that...

Between 20 and 25 students and faculty members sang peace songs accompanied by the guitar of Father Thomas Kraft of the Newman Center. Later, members of several faiths prayed and repeated peace litanies, while some used a large sheet of paper attached to the wall to write the names of loved ones in the Persian Gulf so they could be remembered in prayers. "I don't know why we're going to war. But I do know one thing: I know we are called to be peaceful people. I know we are called to be peaceful ourselves. ..and somehow that peace has to make a difference," Kraft said, then prayed that peace and reconciliation would fall from God like "rain from heaven."
