Student s need to use his own interests as this representative to voice their well as the city’s. opinions. “I have more invested in it because I plan on staying around the Charleston area for awhile,” he said. This also could be an excellent way to improve Eastern students’ relations with the city because Schubert said he is optimistic of the future. “There’s more positive stuff going on that people don’t realize because it is not reported on as much,” he said. Communication is an important way to improve the relationship between Charleston and Eastern. Students need to take advantage of their City Council representative by voicing their opinions. There is no point in having a representative if the students do not give their input or if the City Council does not listen to the students. The City Council representative also has a responsibility to bring concerns back to campus as a way of reaching a solution.

Southeast Missouri is in the same situation Eastern was in last season – the Indians have already beaten their opponent twice, and are hosting a first-round home game. But things did not go as expect- ed last year, as No. 7 seed Tennessee State came in and upset No. 2 Eastern in Charleston to end the Panther season. Garner said Eastern’s experi- ence last year is just another example of how the home court is not a big advantage in the playoffs. “When you get to the playoffs, home court is not as big as in the Chad Merda / Staff photographer regular season because everybody Eastern’s Merve Joseph drives the lane against Middle Tennessee on Feb. 6.

MINORITY TODAY Tuesday, February 23, 1999 3B A taste of African culture on display Editorial A freshman perspective on diversity By Kenyatta Brookins Staff writer

Does Eastern’s campus have enough cultural diversity? After asking myself that question for three months, I would have to say no. To be perfectly honest, my high school of about 1,500 people was more diverse. My expectation of being on a diverse campus was shattered once I came to Eastern. I was under the impression college would be differ- ent, especially at a university. I don’t think I’ve seen more than 10 Hispanics or Asians in one place or at one time. One would have to admit it becomes a bit redundant looking at the same people all the time. The majority of people on this campus are white. Is something wrong with that? Yes. If the uni- versity's motivations are supposed to be equally fair, then that’s what they should strive for. More cultur- al diversity would be better because people learn from each other, and their differences can be shared.
