"I'm really surprised, I can't
believe that e x i s t e d," and
"That's great, I'm really en-
thused" were among the com-
ments echoing through the An-
gela Davis lounge in Markley
as the final activities of Asian-
American Awareness W e e k
drew to a close.
The comments came from
non - Asians and Asian - Ameri-
cans alike, and referred to the
attitudes which have confronted
a 1 1 Asian - Americans through
U.S. history.
EASTWIND, the studentgAs-
ian-American awareness organ-
ization, sponsored a week of
movies, talks, and social events
designed to elucidate the differ-
ence between the myth and fact
about Asian-Americans.
According to Herb Sue, one
of the 20 core members of East-
Wind about 30 per cent of the
audiences were non-Asians.
"They were friends of Asian-
Americans, or came from the
dorm, and most of them rever
realized that just as many
stereotypes and discriminatory
actions have existed for Asian-
Americans as for other minor-
ity groups. But we want to show
people, both in our culture and
out, what-we have had to deal
with, from Fu Man Chu to
Charlie Chan."
ALTHOUGH EastWind is a
student group, member Made-
line Chang stressed: "We want
to reach all the community; we
want a general awareness. We
want to get established in the
community so that our group
will perpetuate and our prob-
lems will be dealt with not only
on the college level, but or, the
elementary a n d professional
levels as well."
"I grew up in Ann Arbo: and
I never realized there wqs an
Asian-American problem until I

got to college. I always won-
dered why I was Chinese,"
Chang added.
She said: "We are suffering
from a 'model-minority image'
-people think we have no prob-
lems."
ACTIVITIES ranged from a
children's workshop to a discus-
sion of Japanese-Amerikan con-
centration camps during World
War II through the five days.
EastWind hoped to touch up-
on the subjects of culture
(music, art and literature), dis-
crimination, s o c i a 1 activities,
consciousness-raising,t ndAhis-
tory as they affect the Asian-
American situation in Ann Ar-
bor.
Activities in the dorms in-
cluded poetry-reading and songs
at North Campus and discus-
sions with Asian-American play-
wright Momoko Iko in Markley.
They were aimed primarily at
students.
A CHILDREN'S worksnop and
discussions at the public library
were geared more towards the
general community population.
EastWind members were sur-
prised and pleased at the crowd
-larger and more varied than
expected-they were able to pull
in.
BUT MORE demanding than
the economic conditions are the
social problems EastWind must
confront: "Many Asian-Ameri-
cans shy away from being asso-
ciated with us," said Linda
Peng, an organizer of the week
and active member cf East-
Wind. "There is a fear among
the community to be stereo-
typed with other Asians."
According to Peng, no matter
whether a student has grown up
in an Asian - American ghetto,
or has grown up in an all-white
suburb, he or she comes to the
University and runs away from
others of similar background.
