Fight against racism is focus of greek event
Ribbons to foster awareness
For a few days, multicolored ribbons that represent the diversity of the rainbow also will symbolize peace and solidarity.
By Ashlee Roll Kansan staff writer
The second annual Ribbons Against Racism began yesterday and will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in front of Wescoe Hall and in the Kansas Union.
"We just want to get out there and make people aware that racism still exists," said April Broussard, vice president for educational programs.
Ribbons Against Racism is presented by Greeks Responsible for Education Enhancing Cultural Sensitivity and the Office of Minority Affairs.
Rachel Bussell, GREECS president, said that the organization was the main minority affairs auxiliary group of the greek system and that it was designed to advocate cultural sensitivity.
This year, GREECS hopes to hand out 10,000 ribbons to students on campus.
Although GREECS has been established for five years, membership has
"It is specifically designed for the greek system," said Bussell, Overland Park junior.
"Things have been going better," said Broussard, Denver senior. "We have had a lot of organizations get involved with the program."
remained small.
Other campus organizations sponsoring the event are the Multicultural Resource Center, the Asian-American Student Union, Black Men of Today, InterFraternity Council, Panhellenic, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, Black Student Union, Black Panhellenic and the Study Abroad club.
Gloria Flores, associate director of Minority Affairs, said that handing out ribbons was a creative way to communicate with students.
"It is a nonthreatening activity that is an important effort to educate about diversity and diverse perspectives," she said.
Flores also said that wearing ribbons was a way for students to express how they felt about issues of peace and solidarity.
"It is a silent way of communicating against racism," Flores said. "It's not always easy to voice it."
GREECS continues its educational program yearround, with general meetings twice a month in which speakers talk about other cultures.
Each fraternity and sorority chapter is required to have at least two members attend the meetings.
The second annual Ribbons Against Racism began yesterday and will continue through today. The ribbons represent peace and solidarity.
In addition to the two days of peace and solidarity, last

"The ribbons will encourage discussion among students," Flores said.
"Through discussion in small groups, students will find allies for peace and harmony at KU."
Polls show Clinton is leading race
By Neal Shulenburger
Kansan staff writer
President Clinton has a 16 to 21 percent lead above Republican challenger Bob Dole. Whether Dole can come back is open for debate.
ABC's news tracking poll showed Clinton leading with 54 percent to Dole's 38 percent among 848 likely voters, with a sampling margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. CBS has Clinton at 56, Dole at 35 and Perot at 5, with 972 registered voters and an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Both polls were taken before the vice-presidential debate. But polls taken afterward don't provide much encouragement for the Dole/Kemp campaign, either. In an ABC poll conducted after the Gore-Kemp debate in St. Petersburg, Fla., 50 percent said Gore won the debate, 27 percent viewed Kemp as the winner and 21 percent called it a draw.
With the size of the deficit, Jeffrey Cohen, associate professor of political science, said he doubted Dole could win.
"This is all just speculation, and I've been wrong before," Cohen said. "But I don't think he can."
He said research indicated campaigns on presidential elections played little role in the outcome.
"The public already had its own ideas of who the candidates are, what the issues are and their own party bias," Cohen said. "These things are very difficult to change."
similar to Watergate were to come out of the Whitewater investigation, it might not stop Clinton from winning.
"The public knew about the Watergate burglary during the 1972 campaign, and it didn't affect Nixon for 18 months." he said.
Nancy Hardman, a volunteer at the Douglas County Republican Headquarters, disagreed with Cohen's view. She said Dole would come back and win the election.
"In a private ballot when Dole resigned from the Senate, it showed that in a race against Bill Clinton, he would win," she said.
In order for Dole to be able to pull off the comeback, Hardman said the public needed to become more aware of the issues.
what they are doing and why they are voting for Clinton/Gore," she said. "Once they take a close look at the issues and the people, they just won't be able to vote for Clinton."
With only 26 days remaining before the election, one thing is certain: If Dole wants to try to make a move, he has to do it soon.
"Dole has to do something very big, very dramatic and very risky," he said. "It will probably be at the last presidential debate. That will be his last chance to speak to a large national audience."
Dole and Clinton will debate on national television for the last time before the election on Oct. 16 in San Diego, Calif.
