Chacon said that, Chicanos
identify with Native Americans
regarding this issue because their
ancestors are concentrated in
Mexico, and therefore are indige¬

Stacey Green, Academic Policy
and Planning Committee student
representative, said she is not in
favor of the policy change.
"There were some questions in
my mind about the hardships it
could create for students," Green
said.
Green said some students
would be especially affected by
the policy change, such as night
students, whoseclasses often meet
only once a week, making it diffi¬
cult to decide in two weeks
whether to drop or add a class.
Green said she believes it would
. also be difficult for international
students-to-decidein^wo weeks,
because they may not be familiar
with the system, and could find it

completely destroyed by the Eu¬
ropeans. Celebrating genocide is
what it comes down to, and the
oppression is still here."
Native American graduate stu¬
dent Lawrence Tovar said he is
opposed to celebrating the holi¬
day for personal, not political rea¬
sons. He said he holds Columbus
and the forces behind his expedi¬
tion responsible for introducing
European diseases into Native
American societies and for "using
Christianity as a guise" for exploi¬
tation and slavery.
. -' "A lot of his motives were based
on greed," he said. Columbus was
under pressure to bring gold back
to England, Tovar said, and had
made a deal with the Spanish king
and queen to be appointed Admi¬
ral and Viceroy upon his return.
Requiring Native Americans to
give him gifts and advocating slav¬
ery were ways in which he ex¬
ploited the native populations, he
said.
"Columbus advocated slavery
for Indians," Tovar said. "People
who helped build the American
empire are still being oppressed.
Nothing has changed—we're stilt
slaves to the economic system that
has been brought over.       J
"A lot of us as people of color
see this as something we should
act on personally."
Tovar said that the tone of the
PBS presentation "Age of Discov¬
ery," which aired last week and
chronicled Columbus's expedi¬
tions, was more revealing than
much of what is taught about him,
but that the program was still
slanted.
"His atrocities were still down
played," he said. "It was almost
romantic the way it was put on."
Montoya agreed that Ameri¬
can history paints a slanted pic¬
ture of Columbus's dealings with
Native Americans.
"He used to cut off the hands of
Indians," he said. To many of us,
(the celebration is) 500 years of
oppression."
Chacon said that several pro¬
tests are planned around the coun-
try.tA protest in San Francisco,
where a ship wiH dock after ^fl¬
ing a commemorative voyage
along Columbus's path, may in¬
volve an occupation of the ship.
Of the local protest, Chacon
said, "If there's any goal ifs to
raise awareness. In the^age of cul¬
tural diversity and political cor¬
rectness there's a lot of people who
go around celebrating certain pa¬
triotic holidays without knowing
what they are about"
He said he feels that celebrat¬
ing Columbus day is inappropri-

the Sena te to develop another add /
drop policy proposal, but she said
^s unlikely to be reviewed before
the current policy takes effect this
spring.
"Getting policies passed is a
two to three month process,"
Green sajd. She said at present it
would be physically impossible
for the adopted policy to undergo
any changes before it takes effect.
But President John Welty could
.suspend the policy. After discus¬
sions with the committee Welty is
not considering such a measure,
according to Green.
Green said thecommitteecould
be more sensitive to students',
needs.
"Just saying faculty and the
deans should be more sensitive
isn't going to be a guarantee that
they will be sensitive; it's purely a
recommendation."
When the committee reconve¬
nes this week, there will be further
discussion about student concerns
and faculty response.
