terry warns China about weapons sales NATION/WORLD The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, December 10, 1996 - 7 Racially motivated incidents still occur WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary William Perry told China's defense minister yesterday that weapons saps to Iran could backfire on the Asian giant. Gen. Chi Haotian said he would "censider the point". but maintained reports of the sales had been exaggerated. .The Chinese also consented in prin- ciple to allowing U.S. warships to con- tinue making port visits in Hong Kong after July 1997, when China regains sovereignty over the colony, according to a senior defense official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity. Perry's warning on Iranian relations came as Perry and Chi, as part of a series , f increased U.S.-China contacts, agreed to continue high level military meetings. The Chinese general met briefly at the White House with President Clinton at the start of a U.S. visit that will include trips to U.S. Pacific Command headquarters in Hawaii and other mili- tary installations. Clinton told the defense minister "he views our engagement with China as a way to further our cooperation where we can ... and to address our differ- ences were they exist, such as human rights," White House spokesperson David Johnson said. He said there was no substantive dis- cussion of human rights or other con- tentious matters such as Taiwan or the reported weapons sales to Pakistan or Iran. Perry's remarks on Iran came during a discussion of weapons proliferation. The defense secretary told his visitor "even legal arms sales to Iran threaten U.S. interests, but could also threaten China's because of China's increased dependence on oil from the Gulf. ... It could backfire on China" should con- flict erupt in the Persian Gulf area, the senior defense official said. The Chinese general said he "would consider this point" the official added. The talks roused some harsh criti- cism on Capitol Hill, with Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) dubbing the Chinese general "the butcher of Beijing" for his role in quelling the Tiananmen Square student uprising of 1989. Smith, chair of the House International Relations human rights subcommittee, also lambasted Clinton, saying, "The future of his policy toward China is quite clear - torture your peo- ple, imprison the peaceful voices of AP PHOTO China's Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian meets with President Clinton yesterday. Chi Is in Washington for a series of talks with Clinton officials. freedom and human rights, kill inno- cent men, women and children, and the U.S. will look the other way." Queried about such comments, Perry said the talks were "very good" and necessary because they focused on con- fidence-building measures between the nations' two military forces. "China is one of the great powers of the world. It is critically important for the United States to ... engage China and deal with them on issues that are important not only to the security of the United States and China, but also to the whole Asia-Pacific region," Perry said. Pentagon officials also presented the Chinese with a draft of a military mar- itime agreement, and the Chinese agreed to work on it. The pact would establish rules for reporting problems at sea, and is similar to a 1972 agreement reached with the Russians, the senior official said. The Chinese general, who had lunch with several of the military's top offi- cers, invited Gen. John Shalikashvili, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to visit China. The four-star Army general responded there was "no doubt he would go." I wJR FIRM is looking for individuals who ant to gain hands on management exp. next summer. Earn $6,000 to $10,000 per summer.

"We're just a university - there hap- pens to be racial tension every day (and everywhere)," said Glen Eden, African American coordinator at the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs. "It's unfortunate that we have the same type of incidents that may be racially moti- vated that happened 30 years ago." "This is the ugly side of Michigan, basically," Eden said. There are many resources available to students who feel they have been dis- criminated against because of their race. "There are a number of places they can go," said Frank Cianciola, associate dean of students, citing the Dean of Students' office, the Ombudsman's office, the Department of Public Safety and residence hall staff as some of the options. Ivory went to the NAACP, the Black Student Union, the Dean of Students' office and Eden at the MESA office to report what happened to her. Mary Lou Antieau, resolution coor- dinator in the Office of Conflict Resolution, said the reports the office receives of racially motivated incidents often do not pin- point another stu- dent. "Very rarely I'm n do we get one where there is I hi another student named," she said. thatthin "Most of them are (anonymous), blatant N which means we can't act on one them." "If I do get a complaint to this office, the first thing I do is inves- tigate it Antieau said. She said that if the report is accu- rate, she then calls the student who made the complaint into her office. Increased awareness Ivory said the man who spit on her had an audacity that took her by sur- prise. "I'm not naive, (but) I had no idea that things this blatant were going on" she said. Students say the University commu- nity needs to be more aware that racial- ly motivated incidents are occurring. LSA senior Paolo Aquino said that certain racially motivated incidents are not reported because victims feel the community will not back up their claim. "Maybe in their own mind they feel like (it sounds like) a racial incident but it's not serious enough to support;' said Aquino, external communications chair for the United Asian American Organization, an umbrella group of 18 Asian Pacific American groups on campus. "In the eyes of many students, the administration doesn't take the initia- tive to do things to bridge the differ- ences between the ethnic community, and that more needs to be done" Aquino said. Cianciola said he is aware that con- flicts are sometimes marked by racial undertones, but said he does not know how often. "I think that these incidents occur," he said. "I have no personal knowledge of the frequency of these types of inci- dents." Tactless classroom approaches Racial issues can surface in the class- room as well. John Matlock, director of the Office of Academic and Multicultural Initiatives, said he has heard of times when students felt some- thing inappropriate or tasteless was said during a class. "Some students bring it to the atten- tion of the faculty member and let them know they did or said something inap- dents," Hall said.

Matlock said students may not be willing to come forward when they have a bad experience in the classroom. "I think sometimes students are con- cerned about, will there be some reper- cussions in terms of (importance) in their grade ... . Yes, I do think there may be some reluctance," he said. LSA sophomore Kevin Jones said he has heard other students make inappro- priate comments while discussing. racial groups in the classroom. He said that stereotypes sometimes surface when students make comments about: Latinos, Asian Americans and Africarq Americans. Jones said he finds the comments inappropriate, but often the: people making the comments do not. know they are unwelcome. "It's because they don't know any better," he said. "They were brought up like that." Hate crimes Department of Public Safety spokesperson Elizabeth Hall said the number of hate crimes reported to DPS has fluctuated over recent years.

"crimes that manifest evidence of prej- udice based on race, religion, sexual,. orientation or ethnicity." Hall said students should not hesi- tate to tell authorities if they feet they have been the victim of a hate crime. "We certainly would encourage peo- ple to make a report if they do feel something has happened," she said. "It's important to report that type of thing so that we can take action." Struggles and solutions Zahr said minority groups should. communicate more with each other to facilitate discussion of the issues. "I think we need a strong minority alliance of all the groups" he said. McGhee said the University has started making strides in the right direc-- tion, but more needs to be done. "I think the race and ethnicity requirement is a good thing," she said. Antieau said incoming students should be taught more about diversity: "Many of them come from racially segregated high schools," she said. "And so our first-year students have not had a lot of opportunities to learn about people who are different from themselves." "It creates problems when we don't work with students to expand their understanding of other races,' Antieau said. Harris re-emphasized the serious- ness that is sometimes overlooked when racially motivated incidents occur. "It's not to be taken lightly by anyone at this University," she said. "To treat it as a joke (or) prank ... minimalizes the person's experi- ence," she said. Students wishing to report incidents to DPS can call their general informa- tion line at 763-3434.
