We don’t want to lose out on anybody’s views in deciding what to do. We really would like to see this take off in the right direction and [be] decided on as quickly and efficiently as possible.” Adrienne Ballare, president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a ju nior journalism major, said the issue of get ting a tribute to diversity as a whole has been a slow process. “Personally, 1 haven’t seen anything be ing accomplished,” Bellare said. “The process to recognize diversity has been go ing on for three or four years and it is drag ging along.” Bellare said decision makers are not giv ing the idea of a statue honoring former Sen ator Matthew Gaines enough serious con templation. “1 think it is sad because they don’t want to recognize Matthew Gaines because he is a minority,” she said. “It seems like they are thinking of their image and what alumni might think. While we should be drifting to wards celebrating diversity, it seems like we are drifting away from truly recognizing it to save face. ” NEWS IN BRIEF Astronaut to di Challenger traged) Former astronaut RobertC| I will discuss the Challengerspj shuttle accident tonightat5ii der Theater.
