THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Monday, March 4,1996 L News News Editor: Heather Hartman Telephone: (209) 278-2486 Lin: Academy Award winning film maker receives political criticism Continued from page I. memorial design beat out over 1.400 other entries in 1981. Acthe time her design won. Lin was only 21 and still an undergradu¬ ate at Yale. Lin. who was born in Ohio to two college professors, entered the national Vietnam Memorial design contest hoping to stir the emotions of the American public. "It's a riveting story," Ng said. "Critics at the time cast aspersions on her design. They charged it was some kind of peacenik symbol." Lin's design, a black granite V- shaped wall that emerges from the ground with the. names of the 56,000 Americans who died in the war carved into it. created a fire storm of criticism. The Secretary of the Interior, James Watt, called the design "dis¬ graceful" and Pat Buchanan, who was working as a columnist, said the memorial was a "communist plot" to disgrace the memory of the soldiers who died in the conflict. Other critics attacked Lin's ethnicity and youth. Critics said that an Asian woman should not be al¬ lowed to design a memorial to American soldiers and that a per¬ son so young, with no direct ties to the war, was an inappropriate choice to design the monument. "The criticism got ugly at times. But, Maya Lin stood up to it." Ng said. "It's an inspiring story. The film shows how talent prevails over ignorance." Lin, now 36, weathered the storm of criticism and saw her de¬ sign become a symbol of national healing. She went on to design the Civil Rights Memorial in Alabama and the environmental make-over of Park Presidio in San Francisco.
