And, he says, he's become more knowledgeable about the issues the program was designed to address. "Originally, " Saari said, "I saw this as a film opportunity. Then I learned about the Jan Plan and took that as an opportunity to both create films and learn about and initiate tolerance." Th e Dream Lives On is about an Italian American growing up in a state-like Saari's native Montana-that doesn't observe Martin Luther King Jr. 's birthday. The protagonist, Tony, is ta ught about the significance of the King holiday by an Africa n-American employee at his father's garage. "Tony's been surrounded by blind racism, blind misunderstanding, all his life. That's all he knows, " Saari said. "To make this film I had to learn about the way people like Tony think. A lot of times I can't relate, but now I understand, because I've had to make them real people or the audience won't believe in them." Before he wrote his script for Seven Days ofJus tice, Alex Chin interviewed several alumni involved in the chapel sit-in. "That opened my eyes. " he said. "And I think my film will open other people's eyes ....[W) hen you learn about something like [the ta keover). the idea of tolerance does run through your mind. It's your main goal." Cooks, too, thinks the research involved in making movies has changed the student film makers. Chin, he said, "is not only conquering a level of understanding of what it was like to be black and in the chapel at that time, he's transcending himself. becoming a more empathetic individual." Mark Tappan, who co-directs Colby's program in education and human development, says it's no wonder the Tolerance program has had a profound impact on the stu- dents involved. "Tony's been surrounded by "Raising these issues from the students' perspective, blind racism, blind having the students take the lead in generating stories, is extremely powerful, espe misunderstanding, all his life, " cially in engendering dialogue, " Ta ppan said. "That's what I tell students in my classes who want to be teachers. It Saari said. "That's all he knows. is right in line with current theories about experiential learning." Associate Professor of Art To make this film I had to Abbott Meader serves as one of the project's faculty spon sors. He says that one of the learn about the way people like program's main strengths is its visibility. "Students have al ways written papers," Mead er said. "The papers have great To ny think. " strengths and great weak- nesses and professors com- ment on those, but students don't read them to the campus on loudspeakers. These films are full of boo-boos, too. but they get screened. Hundreds of people show up. You learn from that. It's great to have students' work seen." The screenings make the Tolerance project unique-it is intended to have an impact on the entire campus, not just on the few dozen students working on films. April's festival included a post-screening panel discussion among COLBY JUNE J994 18 Cooks (with camera) ac work on Per Saaii '97's film The Drc<1m Lives On. audience and film makers, and the movies are available for use in classes and in Miller Library. Cooks says the effect is potentially "tremendous." "This will hit them, " he said, referring to his movie, Th e Assimilator. The story revolves around Shade, played by Michael T. Miller '95, who has grown up in a large city surrounded exclusively by African America ns. As boys, Shade and his best friend, Marshall, make a pact to attend Morehouse College, a largely black institution and the alma mater of Martin Luther King Jr. Marshall opts for Colbyesque "Coldson College" instead, explaining that he wants to learn about majority culture so he can function in larger society. Shade follows him. kicking and screa ming all the way. Determined not to " sell out" the way he thinks other minority students have, Shade is at first lonely and bitter. But his white, maybe gay roommate teaches him something about stereotypes; a woman friend who has been raped tones down his machismo; and he is haunted by a mysterious character named Shadow, who wa ltzes him to a local cemetery to show him that he can bury some old attitudes while remaining faithful to his background and values. "If nothing else, people will look at this film and say, 'This is Michael T. Miller on screen. Does Michael T. Miller feel like Shade?"' Cooks said. "As far as the students' films are concerned, it comes down to the majority 's role in learning about the minority on the margin. Coming up with a story of what it's like to live a day in the life of that other person, that's tolerance. that's understanding . This is media that's doing the right thing, sending the right message." 19 JU E 1994 COL BY Cooks was reared in New York, Atlanta and Wash ington, D.C., and transferred to Colby from Howa rd University as a junior. He says life on Mayflower Hill taught him the va lue of diversity firsthand. "Non-majority individuals who come to Colby really have to be willing to learn about majority culture. " he said. "If they come here thinking every thing is going to be like it was back home. well, that's not going to happen. The message Shade delivers is that he made the right decision coming to Coldson. He changed. He learned about another culture. but he knows he can't let go of where he comes from. That's the message that needs to go out to every student in the country considering coming to a co llege like Colby. Every student, not just members of minorities. " Cooks has earned high pra ise for his oversight of Luwaun Curry '97 (left) , A. Hardin Gray '94 and Doug Morrione '93 work on the sound trackfor The A imilaror. the Tolerance progra m. Tappa n ca lls him "a remark- able young man with the ability to make Colby his home and make an impact, " and the students working on the project credit him with making it an exciting and thought-provoking experience. "The Jan Plan was one of the best courses I've had at Colby, " said Saari, describing the parade of topnotch guest lecturers Cooks "We're all learning about recruited from Colby's faculty to speak to the class. each other, " Cooks said Cooks says he hopes his films and the ones that come out of the Tolerance project-have life out of his ensemble.

"My films, " Cooks said, "are geared towa rd a collective understanding of where we are as a human race and where we want to go. And that's the point of the Tolerance project, too. The films aren't about making one group feel guilty, feel like the antagonists. It's more: what are we doing to ourselves?"

Annie Proulx '57 has won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The prestigious award, for her second novel,The Shipping News, was the latest in a remarkable string of honors for Proulx. Her first novel, Postcards, was nominated fora Pulitzer last year and won the PEN/Faulkner award. The Shipping News won the National Book Award, the Irish Times International Fiction Prize and the Heartland Prize from the Chicago Tribune, in addition to the Pulitzer. "It's too much," Proulx told the Associated Press when the prize was an nounced in April. "It's like frostingon a layer cake whose layer can't be counted." Pulitzer juries have been good to to Colbians in the nineties: three College alumni have won the award in four years. Before Proulx's award, Gregory White Smith '73 and co-author Steven Naifeh were awarded a Pulitzer in biography in 1991 forJackson Pollock: An American Saga.
