NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 12, 2005 - 7 RWANDA Continued from page 1 p.m., the Power Center reached capacity, and more than 600 people were redirected to the Michigan League Ballroom. By 7 p.m., the Ballroom was standing- room-only, and more than 100 students and community members, some coming from as far as an hour away, huddled around tele- visions in the basement and lobby of the League to watch the speech. Rusesbagina described "the real life behind the movie," sharing a brief history of Rwanda before detailing how he and his fam- ily found themselves and more than 1,000 refugees trapped in the midst of humanitar- ian crisis. Since Rusesabagina fled Rwanda under the michigan daily threat of death in 1996, he has lived in Brus- sels with his wife, four children and two nieces, who were orphaned in the genocide. After working with actor Don Cheadle to develop the film, he started the Hotel Rwan- da Rusesabagina Foundation, an effort to rehabilitate victims of genocide. Rusesabagina was chosen for the medal before the release of the film, said John God- frey, assistant dean at the Rackham School of Graduate Studies and chair of the Wal- lenberg Executive Committee, the group that awards the medal. The University's Wallenberg Endowment and Medal, established in 1985, is awarded to individuals who have "made decisive com- mitments to human rights at critical times," Godfrey said. The medal's namesake, Swedish diplo- mat and University alum Raoul Wallenberg, saved 100,000 Jews in Budapest during the Holocaust, only to be arrested by Soviet authorities in 1945. Wallenberg disappeared and has not been heard from since. Previous recipients of the award include many Holocaust heroes, such as Wallen- berg's half-sister Nina Lagergren and Miep Gies, who sheltered Anne Frank and her family. Other winners include South Afri- can apartheid activist Helen Suzman and the Dalai Lama. Stopping today's tragedies In a press conference preceding the event, Rusesabagina stressed that injustice is not over in Rwanda. "As long as people in Rwanda are intimi- dated, we can never talk about safety," he told reporters. "The current government is not clean," he said, adding that political dissenters often disappear and "after that their bones are found at the top of a hill." In his lecture, Rusesabagina accused the global community of continued indifference in the face of humanitarian crises, including the massacres in Darfur, an area in western Sudan he recently visited. "What I saw in Rwanda, what I saw in 1994, I saw in Darfur," he said. "More than 100,000 people have been killed, and nobody said nothing about it." He also encouraged the audience to pay attention to the ongoing civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. "Since 1996 up 'til now, that war has killed 4 million civilians, and the whole world stands back and does nothing," he said. While he is in the United States, Rusesaba- gina is speaking at universities, colleges and high schools across the country. In his closing remarks, he implored students to remember the events of the Rwandan genocide and act when they have the opportunity to stop human rights violations. "Ladies and gentlemen, men and women like Wallenberg are very few, but we need them," he said. "Among you, all of you, you might be the Raoul Wallenberg, and yet you do not know it. Many of you have a mis- sion, and yet you do not know it. Tonight I urge you, each and all of you, to be a Wal- lenberg."

She added that while Columbus brought Western Europe and the cultures of the Americas into con- tact, the encounter was exploitative, resulting in the deaths of millions of native peoples. "It wasn't like he came here, and the civilization was combined like a big happy family," Marino said. "He made slavery (and) rape happen, too." But John Salamone, the executive director of the National Italian Ameri- can Foundation, defended the holiday. "I want to emphasize that Colum- bus Day represents two worlds coming together. I believe that the majority of people feel that bringing these two worlds together is positive for man- kind," he said. Salamone added that although some Italian Americans take pride in the holi- day because Columbus was a Genoan sailor, the day should not belong to any specific ethnic group. Although most states still recognize Columbus Day, some lawmakers are working to also commemorate the con- tributions of native peoples by creating a national holiday for them. U.S. Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.) introduced legislation in February 2005 that would establish a Native American Day; the legislation is pending in the House of Represen- tatives, Baca spokesman Michael Levin said. But Marino said as long as the public continues to celebrate the holiday, the American people are tacitly condoning racism. "I think it's important to recognize that while so many people think that Columbus is amazing, in terms of how our nation is built, it's still based in rac- ism and hatred."

RC Prof. Richard Mann taught a class called "Intro to Peace Studies" in the late 1980s, and the history of nonviolence courses at the University goes even further back than that. But there has been a resistance to making nonviolence studies a major or even a minor. Political Science Prof. David Singer said he's given his full support to Trav- ers's idea, though he has opposed previ- ous attempts to establish a peace studies concentration. "My basic opposition is that I don't like majors that get too narrow of a focus," Singer said. "I want my students to get a broad education and then within that broad area, focus on something." He added that disciplines as focused as peace studies tend to attract students with similar beliefs. But he said the emergence of a political climate that condones using violence to resolve problems has led him to change his mind. "It's still not a great idea pedagogical- ly, but I think the political motivations outweigh that now," Singer said. Another concern professors raised at last week's meeting was that stu- dents who graduate with such a nar- row focus will not be able to find jobs. But prof. Michael Nagler, a Peace and Conflict Studies professor at Univer- sity of California at Berkeley, said the majority of his students go into nonprofit work, human rights orga- nizations or health care. Many of his students go overseas with organiza- tions such as the Peace Corps. "We're not going to survive unless we learn the arts of peace," Nagler said. Berkeley's well-established peace and conflict studies department has been in existence since 1985 and graduates 30 to 40 students each year. Nagler said he was excited to hear about the possibility of a program at the University, even if it was just a minor. "You take it one step at a time," Nagler said. "You build something, and once you find out that it doesn't bite and it doesn't cost 10 million dollars a year, you go from there." Fox said a minor is certainly fea- sible, and she is willing to put in the time it will take to complete the nec- essary administrative work. If the minor is sponsored by the Residential College - which RC Prof. Charlie Bright said is certainly a possibility - it needs to be approved by the RC curriculum planning committee. The sponsoring faculty members would then need permission from all of the departments that would offer classes in the new program. Departments with courses in non- violent studies would most likely include political science, religion, english, history and art history, among others. After gaining permis- sion from the departments, the poten-- tial minor would need to be taken to the LSA curriculum committee before being posted as a minor. Fox said she is not yet prepared for the additional work of creating a non- violence studies major. But Phil Hanlon, associate provost and chair of the Task- force on Multidisciplinary Studies, said that it might be the kind of program that could be sponsored by the taskforce. "It's a little hard to tell outside the context of a specific proposal," Hanlon said. "What we're looking to support are large courses and concentrations that pull from many different areas. Bright and Hanlon both estimated the whole process was at least a year away from completion, but Hanlon said that was standard for any new program.

VnCI JBON TODAv Vn r nersonnl EARTHQUAKE Continued from page 1 Yesterday's efforts were hampered by torrential rains and hail in the mountains of the Pakistani side of Kashmir, and crates of supplies sat on tarmacs waiting to be delivered. At least one U.S. supply helicopter had to turn around because of a rainstorm in the mountain passes, the military said. "The recovery efforts have been slowed by bad weather and large parts of the region are still inaccessible because landslides have destroyed the road net- work," a U.N. statement said. Bob McKerrow, coordinator of relief efforts for the International Federation of the Red Cross, said in Islamabad that 17 trucks left for affected areas with supplies, including blood. "Some of the roads are just being reopened and this rain is not going to help at all," McKerrow said. "And the possibility of further landslides block- ing roads is a threat every minute of the day." The Pakistani government's official death toll was about 23,000, but a senior army official involved in the rescue operations said that "according to our assessment, the death toll is between 35,000 to 40,000 people." Tens of thou- sands were injured. The official spoke on condition of ano- nymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media about the toll. The esti- mate matched that of local officials. Neighboring India said 1,300 people died in its part of Kashmir, the disput- ed province at the center of two wars between New Delhi and Islamabad. India planned to send a planeload of food, tents and medicine to its longtime rival in what was seen as a boost to the peace process between the two nuclear- armed neighbors. Islamabad, however, refused India's offer of helicopters. One of the places hardest-hit b) the quake was Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, where most homes and all government build- ings were destroyed.
