Incorrect images of African slaves perpetuated by white historians of the early 1900s also strongly in fluenced the public image of the “uncultured and childish negro,” Dulaney said. “When a group of leading white historians depicted African ex-slaves as ignorant Sambos near the turn of the 1900s, they warped a nation’s mentality,” he said. However, during this period, a few African-American historians be gan to point out the errors in pre vious evaluations of U.S. history, Dulaney said. “With W.E.B. DuBois, Carter G. Woodson and several others, Afri can-American history began to chal lenge and then correct what had been white American history,” he said. “By telling the true history, we can clarify our nation’s past and pre sent a clearer and more understand able view of our country.” Dulaney said efforts like African- American Heritage Month continue to be important because many peo ple still do not know enough Afri can-American history. Dulaney said he works with schools in the Dallas area to teach educators about African-Americans. “Presently, teachers still don’t teach this because they themselves don’t know it,” Dulaney said. “What we are trying to do is go back to day one and educate them.” He said he understands how peo ple might have difficulty with Afri can-American history. However, he said it is important to continue these educational efforts. “It’s easy to intergrate these histo ries because they are so interrelated. They are one-in-the-same,” Dulaney said. “If we see them otherwise, we will lose ourselves and the correct identity of our country.” CAROLINE, TWO LOCAL GUYS WANT TO TALK TO THE. STATION mWAGEK.

He says people often have abso lute faith in medical studies and treatments that come from large medical institutions, but he says that may not always be the best thing to do. While not wanting to discredit medical institutions, Heimlich says often big institutions get so “wrapped up in what they are doing” they overstep ethical bounda ries. “Real discoveries have to be made by real people,” he says. While Heimlich says he did some testing of his discoveries on dogs, he says the majority of testing was done with “real patients.” For example, he says he first tested the Heimlich Chest Drainage Valve on a man with severe emphy sema and a crushed chest who needed his chest drained. He says after putting in the valve. Racism. Continued from page 1 Sigma Theta, says she has enoun- tered several racial incidents since coming to A&M. “One of my professors, who is ten ured, constantly made derogatory remarks about blacks,” she says. “He would say, ‘you people,’ and other racist remarks in front of the whole class.” Isabell says she thought about tak ing legal action, but she wasn’t ready to deal with the hostility she thought she’d encounter. “In the end, he had to take on ex tra duties that tenured professors don’t normally have to do,” she says. “He’s also had to attend multicultu ral programs.” Isabell doubts the programs will help the professor. “He’s set in his ways,” she says. “He’s a racist.” Jeff Simpson, an A&M psycholo gist, says racism can’t be contributed to one single factor. “Most racists don’t base their be liefs on first-hand experience,” he says. “Their beliefs are based on hearsay (from) their parents and This is what I call indirect ex peers, posure.” Simpson says it is often difficult to change a racist’s viewpoint. “No matter what the other group does to dispel the myths against them, a racist will usually keep the SHOP DILLARD’S POST OAK MALL.

Kevin Carreathers, director of the Department of Multicultural Serv ices, says the A&M administration has been forced to deal with racial incidents. “Racism definitely exists on A&M’s campus,” he says. “A&M is a microcosm of society. Whatever so cietal ills we have, we’ll find at A&M too. If racism is a problem in society, A&M will have problems with it al so.” The Department of Multicultural Services was formed in 1987 to serve as a liaison between students and the University administration.

It’s tough.” Carreathers says the multicuh office offers minority students place to go for support. “Students don’t want to report cial attacks,” he says. “The map] tude of our University intimidat many students. With 41,000 stf dents and over 2,000 professoi many students don’t think anythi can be done. Our department help them.” He says most of the reported cial incidents happen in resideri halls. Gloria Flores, coordinator of it dent development and mulitcult* programs, says many racial incidei do take place in residence halls i A&M’s campus. “A lot of the problems our offi deals with are roommate coni stemming from racism,” she says. Flores says students need to kn( that A&M doesn’t tolerate racism “Saying T’m sorry’ to victims is enough,” she says. “A student lapses af Uy attacked is vflfl w [ n - victory Des A yell fire’s thi ing to symboli/ “beat th< Senio: _ Saudi A tional sy overseas fire, Sg) the 5 th 1 The f when r< Howeve ter being Accor bonfire outcome * I of Texa hurt.
