October 18, 1996 Page 4 Viewpoints Wooster Insight Shorter would be sweeter "Sweet Daddy's World" was an educational program held last night discussing racism on campus. This event was scheduled at 7:30 p.m. according to the flyers that were distributed around campus. To the chagrin of many students in attendance, there was a half an hour of entertainment, including singing and dancing, before the discussion began. True, it was enjoyable to listen to and hear our fellow students express their respective talents, it was at the same time irritating to be continually checking watches and becoming anxious about when the discussion was actually going to start.. Sure, the purpose of the entertainment could have been to relax the auJience for a highly intense discussion. It would have been much more rjj an' himfvi-r- . if the entertainment provoked thinking of racism in the world a- - well a on our college campus. Or. it simply could have been at the end ot the program. Misinformation is not cool, especially when ten to fif teen people leave before the a.-tua- 1 "talk show" began. Maybe if on the informational flv'er. we had some -- clue that we were going to be watching a talent show for a half an hour, some ot us w ould have gotten some more work done, and come at 8:00. for the real discussion.

We at the Voice are embarrassed by the actions of some ofour peers who have decided that the sign that was once outside their dorm would look much better in their room. These fools have put a blight upon the campus. The bear white posts not only ugly, but also remind us that some of the people we go to college with are actually quite stupid. While we are unhappy about the vandalism of the signs, we cannot say that we are surprised. The signs almost scream "vandalize me." They clash Letters with the buildings they are marking.

I don't think anyone expected that event to change For those of you who neither attended nor knew about "Welcome to the attitudes about race relations on campus overnight, but instead the focus of the evening was one of awareness; Sweet Daddy's World," it was something different.

There was much discussion about individuals who don't believe that am concerned that we didn't need more space to hold a panel discussion on DeidrJi HoygOOd racism exists here at Wooster. People cited examples of this attitude, noting in the problem of racism. particular individuals who say that funding for certain groups (or lack of it) has This is a campus full of good, active, concerned people. I will not deny nothing to do with racism, people who talk about the fact that the majority of black students sit together yet do that. But we are at times too complacent. I think we, as a body, have decided not want to acknowledge the fact that international students, Greeks, and certain athletic teams sit together as well, that if we talk once or twice about racism, it'll go away, we'll have solved and who, when given the chore to talk about how comfortable students feel while sitting in Lowry or class choose it. We want to move on to another issue. to remain silent and not confront the issues. Some of the material they passed out listed things to be aware of before Things need to change as far as race relations are concerned here at Wooster. People need to acknowledge the "talk show" began here's one I think was made for Wooster: "Don't that there are problems here and discussion can help solve them. Students and faculty need to take it upon allow yourself to be bored." We cannot be bored with racism. It is too big themselves to go to events such as Sweet Daddy's World, not just because they are required for a class that and ugly and present for us to ignore it. discusses race relations here on campus, but because they recognize that racism on campus is a real, close to home The facilitator also shared a quote from James Baldwin. He said, "Note issue that effects us all in many ways. A discussion arose last night that will hopefully continue, and lead students this, 'everything now, we must assume, is in our hands. . ."
