enter into the tunnel and experience hate in the name of tolerance.
This is the fourth year the Multicultural Resource Center and the Diversity Peer Education team has provided the Tunnel of Oppression to students, faculty and staff and members of the community as an opportunity to understand the kinds of oppression that continue today. The tunnel is an interactive experience that visitors will be led through.
"Every student experiences oppression in some way," Rona Remmie, Monrovia, Liberia, sophomore, said.
Remmie said that she experienced oppression almost every day.
She said-sometimes she was labeled as uneducated because she was not from the United States.
"It is the labels that are put on be by society that I consider to be oppression," Remmie said.

She will be a tour guide for this year's program. She said that the first time walking through the tunnel was always the hardest because it was easy to be disgusted and shocked.
She also said it continued to be a
unique experience because people learned something new every time they walked through.
The tunnel goes from 5:30 to 9:30 tonight and will also run tomorrow and Thursday night on the second floor in Hashinger Hall.
The MRC still needs a venue for the program for next year because Hashinger is too small to host the event
Aida Garcia, graduate assistant in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said it was designed to create an awareness of different types of oppression and its effects within society and the campus community.
Participants will be exposed to video images, recorded voices and role-playing scenarios that face issues in society where hate is involved.
Counseling will be offered for participants at the end of the tunnel. Garcia said participants were made aware that this kind of oppression continued today.

Journalism dean takes post
Interim dean Ann Brill made permanent

kANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ann Brill, interim dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism, was appointed the school's permanent dean yesterday by Provost David Shulenburger. Brill has been the interim dean since July 1.
"The William Allen White School of Journalism has a strong national reputation and I expect Ann will lead the school to deepen the reputation and to make it a better resource nationally for the journalism community," Shulenburger said.
Rather than drastically change anything, Brill said she planned to focus on keeping the school's tradition in tact.
He initially asked Brill to take the position last Friday, but she asked to think about it over the weekend. At 7:10 a.m. yesterday, she finally accepted the offer, Shulenbur said.
The school is continually in the top 10 for some of the most competitive journalism awards and is considered one of the top journalism schools in the nation.
"We have an excellent reputation to maintain." she said.
Brill said she loved being a faculty member and the deanship was not something she had wanted right away. When serving as a dean's search committee member last year, though, Brill said she questioned how she could ask someone else to be dean if she was not willing to be dean herself.
Because of her interim status, Brill said she had the advantage of experiencing what it was like being the dean before the permanent position was offered to her.
"Not too many deans get to try it out first." she said.
As interim dean, Brill received good reviews and instilled confidence of her abilities to lead the school, Shulenburger

Bob Halinan, Med Center media relations coordinator, confirmed her status yesterday. Driessel is a freshman from Lenexa.
Driessel is conscious and was moved to a different floor at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City.
Driessel fell while she was on the third story roof of 1045 Tennessee St., Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence police, said in a previous interview.
Comments from the family were being relayed through their lawyer, Lee Harde of Hardee & Peterson, LLC in Overland Park, said Lori
Burns said the family had not given any recent comments. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said Driessel had been checked out of her room in Ellsworth Hall sometime in the

Bell ringers not at Target

KANSAN STAMP WRITEER
Salvation Army bell ringers began ringing for donations last Friday, but they won't be ringing in front of Target.
Shoppers won't be able to drop money in the red kettles on their way in and out of SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St., because the kettles aren't there. The store has revamped its no soliciting policy to include all organizations.
SALVATION ARMY DONATION LOCATIONS
Target has always had a no soliciting policy, but the Salvation Army was an exception, said Brie Heath, spokeswoman for the Target corporation. The Salvation Army is a good program because it is far reaching in communities, she said.
