Racism is a dirty word in the nineties. It gives some people a lot more latitude to do what they want when they want because other people are afraid of being labeled "racist." This year many committees and events were marred by the word racism. Mirthday, a relatively new tradi tion on campus, was boycotted by the Coalition of Black Student Organizations because it was declared a racist event. Why? Because there wasn't any blacks on the committee that organized Mirthday. Anybody can be a member of University Program Board. In stead of complaining about not getting an invitation to be a consultant, why didn't any of the Coalition walk down the hall and offer their services? A few months ago the Coalition tried to disban the University Center Expansion Committee because it ~~c~m~e~~tP~~~rese~~~-L~~ties.
