I refer to Ellen Lowe's letter"Wailing Wall anti-Semitic" in the Feb. 28, 1996 edition of The Echo.

I was surprised and dismayed at her reaction to my article, which reads, "The Jews are wailing, as we often see on CNN." In response, she wrote, "How dare such an anti-

Semitic statement be written," describing it as ethnocen- tric. Hypocritically, she ended her letter with "Please be careful with the words you use."

The term "Wailing Wall" is found in most literature, even on maps of Jerusalem. In my hurriedly written column I used terms that would be familiar to the reader to help create mental images of my descriptions. To anyone who was offended by this, I offer a sincere apology - 1 certainly did not mean to use the term in derogatory fashion.

While I appreciate the background provided on the origins of the term "Wailing Wall," it was unreasonable to build a whole case on one insignificant, albeit careless statement. I would ask that readers focus on the good things that were said, rather than build mountains out of mole-

hills.

is a mistake, but we think it's about time CLU cut the apron strings and let students learn some things on their own. A mistake can often be much more valuable than a

Perhaps it is time CLU's administrators learned from their mistakes.

We have a strange feeling that the professors will agree.

Scandinavian cultures were celebrated

at the 23rd Annual Velkommen Scandina- vian Festival on April 20th. The event was co-sponsored by CLU and the Scandina- vian American Cultural and Historical Foundation.

It was founded 23 years ago by John Nordberg, former director of development at CLU, and Armour Nelson, a former CLU librarian. They conceived the idea said Carol Keochekian, member of me Scandinavian Festival Committee.

CLU and the foundation took it over six

years ago, and have kept it alive and grow- ing. Keochekian said the event used to be held inside CLU's gymnasium.

"So you can see, it has grown consider- ably," she said.

This year, it consisted of booths for everything from traditional crafts to deli- cious Scandinavian foods in Kingsmen Park, as well as art and baking demonstra- tions. Scandanavlans dance a day In the park. Photo by Izuml Nomaguchi See FESTIVAL Page 4
