But you cannot turn, because the worst thing a person can do is not be able to live with himself.” The Rev. Jeff Schiffmayer of St. Francis Episcopal Church read sec tions of the White Patriot, a KKK publication distributed in parts of Bryan several weeks ago. Schif fmayer called the newspaper “abso lute utter trash.” He said he was surprised by the overt racism in the Klan publication. “I thought their paper would be subtle, but they’re not subtle at all,” he said. “If this is the best they have to offer it’s encouraging, because this is stupid.” Robin Bernstein attended the rally to encourage others to try to end racial intolerance through edu cation. tt The ideals you have may cause you to suffer.” Carey Cauley, NAACP “The KKK is out there, and they have a right to assemble and a right to speak,” he said. “But we also have a right to speak and should try to ed ucate people. We need to stop the need for groups like the KKK to meet.” Rally speaker Michael Villarreal spoke out against institutionalized racism, saying that forms of racism permeate America’s educational sys tem, the media and other areas of society. “The KKK is a product of our so ciety,” he said. “But racism is not al ways covered in a white gown. “What’s more threatening to hu manity than these clowns in white gowns is our bankers, our doctors, our professors and our politicians who share similar feelings and ide als.” Irwin Tang, with the Medicine Tribe, said he believed the group should do something “visual” to counter the KKK’s visual rally in Franklin. He asked ralliers to shut their eyes and hold hands with those around them, showing there are few meaningful differences separating people. Paul Kennedy of Students Against Apartheid said the anti-apartheid shack on the A&M campus rep resents more than a protest of South African apartheid. “As you walk past the Academic Building, take notice of the shanty that has been rebuilt yet again,” he said. “It symbolizes the oppression of people all around the world. It is the desire of Students Agains Apart heid to unite the campus against the evils of racism everywhere.” Cauley said ralliers were fighting for the right cause and urged them to continue to actively oppose all forms of racism. “There’s one thing about being right,” Cauley said. “You may have to try harder. You may have to work longer. You may have to make more sacrifices. “But the good thing is that right will win. Right always wins.” Continued from page 1 Advice offered from the included the following: • Utilize resources offered ai A&M’s Career Planning and Placement Center on the 10th ijMonda'y M The To im team floor of Rudder Tower. • find out what exams needed for acceptance to grad school. • Be cautious when taking student loans; they may prove cult to pay back. • Apply for assistantships ™ ekend in fellowships to help pay for gradu|| atatoriuni scho » 1 - , I The mer • Seek out mentors. jU w hile t • 1 ry to maintain a high gnsjy point ratio. ‘ Courtne; • Get involved with studentoru Der fori nizations.

But she said she hopes that has changed since the Americans With Disabilities Act was established last summer. “When I went out to job interviews, the interviewers were always more concerned about my disability than interested in learning my qualifications and ability to do the job,” Phillips, 40, who has worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Galveston for 11 years, said. “It was very frustrating,” she said. “They all had pre conceived notions about what I could and could not do.” President Bush signed the Americans With Disabili ties Act into law on July 26, for the first time making it illegal for employers to refuse to hire disabled individu als capable of performing the job duties. The ADA provides legal protection against job dis crimination to the nation’s estimated 43 million deaf, blind, and otherwise disabled people, and assures them access to transportation and other public facilities. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is conducting a series of public meetings aimed at refining details in the legislation. “We’re in the process of drafting regulations in Washington and gearing up to enforce this law.” Har riet Joan Ehrlich, district director of the Houston EEOC office, said at the hearing Thursday. “This is a very exciting time for all Americans. In July 1992 (when enforcement of the ADA begins), disabled per sons will finally have the same protection under the law as all other Americans.” The EEOC soon will issue regulations to carry out the provisions of the ADA. Among the 40 employers and disabled persons who addressed the EEOC in Houston, many expressed res ervations that the law is not specific enough. “It will serve neither the employers nor persons with disabilities well to remain left for resolution in liti gation,” T.J. Wray, a partner with Fulbright & Jaworski, said. “To what extent does an employer have to alter the fundamental nature of the job in order to provide a reasonable accommodation?” Michelle Hoogendam, an attorney with Bracewell & Patterson, said. “How does an employer who is a party to a collective bargaining agreement handle a situation where the agreement results in discrimination?” Hoogendam said. Odom said he is a strong s porter of graduate school. "A graduate degree can enhau career path,” he said. "The boiii' line is for students to look at wk they want to go.” Odom cautioned students aki attending graduate school just: cause they don’t know what else do with their undergraduate t grees. “Students should identify tk goals and make a time line for the selves,” he said. “Otherwise, we into a pattern of putting tasks until tomorrow. It’s up to you reach the finish line.” Johnson said many studentsh, the misconception that the pla ment center is only for gradual! seniors. “We have many resources an able that pertain to gradu; schools,” she said. “I encourage students to come by and findt; what we're all about.” Following the panel discuss* students divided into small c cussion groups led by A&M gn uate students.
