Vintage Days criticized for lack of diversity
Tim Haddock
Staff writer
The Vintage Days planning committee,
which is scheduling the annual celebration
for the week after spring break, has re¬
cently been criticized for not cooperating
with the wants of ethnic organizations on
campus. j
Walter Robinson, assistant director of
the University Student Union and student
activities office, defended Vintage Days
planning committee's efforts by saying,
"Vintage Days is one of those processes
that makes minorities get involved."
While having dinner with some mem¬
bers of .past Vintage Days planning com¬
mittee members , Robinson said when
Vintage Days originally started, there was
a strong effort to get minority groups in¬
volved.
As Vintage Days grew in popularity,
white fraternities and sororities took over
the celebration, said Robinson.
Maryann Drummond, president of the
African Student Union, said because of the
fraternities' and sororities' involvement,
Vintage Days has been historically non-
culturallv based'.
"My advice to people ragging on Vin¬
tage Days is to get involved," Drunfmond
said. A
According to Drummond, Alpha Phi
Alpha, a black fraternity on campus, has
sponsored a bowling tournament during
previous Vintage Days.
Some groups are complaining that the
ethnic diversity of some of the games, such
as tricycle races and water bucket relays,
doesn't adequately represent the ethnic
diversity on campus.
Drummond said she challenges those
groups criticizing Vintage Days to define
ethnic games.
"If they (the Vintage Days planning
committee] were to h -> ve a free-throw shoo t -
ing contest, it dbuld pobably cause prob¬
lems," Drummond said. .
"Aside from the food booths, Vintage
Days are not diversified enough. But, the
Vintage Days staff is very diversified,"
Drummond said. x^
Rosario Tobar, who is working on the
sub-committee for the crafts folks fair for
Vintage Days, said her consensus of Vin¬
tage Days is that it isn't geared toward
rninorirics.
Tobar, who is alscwa graduate student,
said she hopes she can lead by example.
"Maybe if I get involved, other students
will get involved," Tobar said.
She also offered a reason why Hispanic
students don't get involved in Vintage Days.

Sketches portray
Asian Americans
ByErinYasuda
Staff writer
It'snot easy being an Asian American
in modern society. -
That was the message of Lane
Nishikawa, who performed in his one-
man show "I'm on a Mission From
Buddha" last night in the Satellite
Student Union.
Nishikawa, who has a short
moustache and shoulder-length hair,
performed 18 .sketches that he wrote
himself dealing-mainly with what it is
like to be a Japanese American in the
90s.
The S-foot-2, a third-generation
Japanese-American, played a number
of characters during his show ranging
from a World War II veteran to a
businessman.
Appearing amidst a flood of lights
at the beginning of the show, Nishikawa
was clad in a black sports jacket, black
trousers and shiny silver-tipped black
boots.
