At 3 p.m. Monday, Jessica Catto, student vice president for academic affairs, and Student Body President Hugh O’Hara cut a ribbon of toilet paper with huge gold-bladed scissors. To celebrate the arrival of bath- rooms on the Student Recreation Center’s second floor, O’Hara and Catto hosted the ceremonial first flush at the grand opening. “That’s a nice touch,” O’Hara said of the ribbon material. “Very apro- pos.” After the sliced toilet paper flut- tered to the recreation center’s floor, the first batch of flushers filed into the lavatories and giant speakers pro- vided sound for the flush “heard ‘round the rec.” Sara Figiel / Photo editor The first 50 attendants received State Sen.

Most agreed that the voluntary segregation and soci- etal chasms that exist at Eastern need to be eliminated. However, not much of a concrete nature was done. Vague talk of newsletters and cross-cultural get-togethers floated around the room, but nothing was planned or put in action. Some participants asked that the Student Senate’s Diversity Affairs Committee, which sponsored the forum, put on more meetings regarding diversity, perhaps even monthly. This is a start, but a long way from the finish. Geology/geography department chair Alan Baharlou asked students for specific instances where they felt they were discriminated against, and then challenged the group to come up with advice to faculty members on how to handle such situations. This is what needs to be done. Diversity is a broad issue, much too general and complex to tackle in and of itself. The campus must start small, addressing individual complaints and concerns and building some sort of policy or program based on the information and experience gained from those complaints.
