arrested

Nine members of the Latin }
American Solidarity Committee
(LASC) were arrested Thursday
afternoon for trespassing inside thei
Federal Building. The LASC mem-
bers were protesting United States
intervention in Central America.
According to Sgt. King of the1
Ann Arbor Police Department, "the
POLICE
NOTES
three females and six males decided
they would rather be arrested for
their cause than leave the building."
: The police gave the protesters a
referred arrest, which means they
were released without bond. None
of the protesters were formally
charged, but King said charges will
be pressed after a city prosecutor
and detective examine the case
sometime this week.
"Next time, federal officials will
probably arrest the protesters. They #
will be given a ticket and a court
date for a few weeks (later) at federal
court in Detroit," King added.
The LASC protests have been
held weekly since Jan. 9. The local1
National Guard armory and naval
recruiting center have also been
targets.l

Speaker urges Asian Americans
to become politically active

By EUGENE PAK
The president of the National
Women's Political Caucus urged
Asian American students to become
actively involved in politics, a field
in which that group's participation
has been limited.
Irene Natividad, one of the
highest ranking Asian females in
national politics, spoke Friday
night to about 50 people in the
Michigan Union. Her speech was
the highlight of the University's
celebration of Asian American
month in January.
Peppering her message with
statistics and pleas, Natividad said
Asian Americans need to be
involved in all levels of gov-
ernment.
"Unless we convert our econ-
omic and educational achievements
into political power, we will re-
main an invisible minority," she
said.
According to a survey done by
the National Women's Political
Caucus, only 123 Asian Americans
held elected offices in national and
city levels in 1982. Forty seven of

these were women, discounting
judges.
Natividad said that despite their
apparent academic and economic
success, Asian Americans face
many racially-oriented problems
while they have few political
spokespeople to fight for their
rights.
"The media image of Asians as
successful, highly educated, hard-
working, overachievers who don't
make waves is an image that angers
me but installs pride in me at the
same time,"Natividad said.
Natividad said the median
income of Asian American families
is $23,000, as compared to $20,800
for white families. But, "the model
minority stereotype of Asians
glosses over the fact that we too are
discriminated against," Natividad
said.
She said this racial discrim-
ination can be overt or it can be
subtle, as in cases of Asian
Americans being denied upper level
management positions and salaries
equivalent to their education level.
But she said part of the problem

lies among those Asian Americans
who do not actively demand equal
treatment, in the office or in
politics.
"Many Asian Americans are not
even involved in the most minimal
level of politics - voting,"
Natividad said. "There are people
who die in our home countries... in
order to vote; and here we take it for
granted."
This situation is partially a
result of old exclusionary acts
which have created the sense in
Asian Americans of not being a
part of the country. Natividad said
that before 1950, Asian residents
born outside the United States were
not allowed to become U.S.
citizens.
Natividad urged Asian Americans
not only to vote, but to become
legislators and executives themsel-
ves.
"What we don't want to be doing
is eternally lobbying on the
outside; what I want to see in the
future is us in the political center,"
she said.

Law School conside

By ANDY MILLS
The Law School Student Senate
(LSSS) will vote at their regular
meeting tonight on proposals to
regulate the use of typewriters dur-
ing exams.
Law School students currently
have the option of typing their in-
class exams if they provide their
own typewriters, but they are
prohibited from using any personal
computers, word processors, or
memory typewriters during exam-
inations.
Associate Dean for Student
Affairs Susan Eklund said in a letter
to the senate that "this policy runs

counter to technology as each year
better and cheaper memory type-
writers are becoming available to
our students."
But in the same letter, Eklund
expressed concern over possible
cheating on closed book exams.
With existing technology, students
could conceivably bring prohibited
material stored in a memory bank
to an exam
Law School Prof. James White
encourages his students to use type-
writers during exams. Typed res-
ponses are easier to read, he said:
"The only problem I see is a prob-
lem of cheating."
