Introducing. . . AA/PIRC’s New Administrative Assistant! Angie Chen is a recent graduate from UC Santa Cruz as an Asian and Asian American Studies major. “ I worked for almost two years at the Women’s Center which opened my eyes to what an important influence resource centers on this campus can have on the lives of students. Whether the day includes sharing information or checking in on how their day is going, it’s great to get a chance to make connections with students that come in to the center. I’m honored and excited about working with Nancy and her fabulous four student assistants, and I’m looking forward to being a part of the growth of this much needed and long awaited Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center.” 2

Staff Spotlight: Victor Kimura by Angie Chen
A A / P I R E S O U R C E C E N T E R
What you don’t know won’t hurt you. For some, those words act as a mantra easing them through the ins and outs of each day. For others, seeking out truth is the key to knowledge. I had the privilege of interviewing Victor Kimura, first Asian American staff member at UCSC, about his career before he retires this year. For him, the truth is the only way to go. His career demonstrates his convictions and his example is one that has been celebrated by students, faculty, and staff. What proves to be vital in sharing his story is his courage in speaking out against racially insensitive acts. Victor was born in Tooele, Utah , around the time when the American government incarcerated over 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans in internment camps during WWII. He explains, “My father said that no son of his would be born in an internment camp, so they moved from an internment camp in Poston, Arizona to a work camp in Tooele, Utah.” He recalls his father’s words to him and the pervading sentiment of Japanese Americans at the time: “I was deeply affected Victor by a lot of things that my father Kimura said to me as I was growing up, when he for instance, don’t create waves, started don’t create any problems, be a working model citizen.” His father, no for UCSC doubt driven by the political climate at the time, told him to respect authority, to withhold feelings, to not complain, and certainly to not speak out. Amidst this unique time did Victor grow up.
Still, he faithfully performed his duties as Campus Budget Director for the next thirteen years. Up to that point, Victor had been the most reclassified, most promoted staff member at UCSC. He fulfilled his post and true to his father’s wishes, “kept his nose clean”, until one day an incident occurred that changed his life forever. In December 1988, Crown College planned a Filipino College Night that happened to fall on the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. After realizing this, Crown staff canceled Filipino College Night, rationalizing that a celebration of Asian food and culture on that night may anger those with family members who fought in the war. Many students at the time believed the act indicative of the racism that pervaded the campus. In a gesture of solidarity with the students and in an effort to follow his convictions, Victor composed a letter voicing his criticism of Crown’s decision and subsequent justifications. “I remember the day I wrote the letter,” he recalls in that fateful moment, “I toned it down quite a bit. I remember standing above the ‘out’ basket in my office. I remember putting it in and taking it out, putting it in and taking it out. I did that about four or five times. I decided I’m just going to put it in; it seemed like the right thing to do.” The letter turned out to have a very profound effect on his career. He was subsequently blasted for his statement against racism. From that moment on, there was no going back. Trust in the University’s encouragement of speech against racism miserably crumbled when, later, a Crown administrator sued Victor, the former Chancellor, and the Regents of University of California for “defamation of character and intentional infliction of emotional distress.” The University denied Victor legal representation concluding that he expressed a personal belief not associated with the University in any way - after the former chancellor had formally implored the UCSC community to speak out against racist acts. A difficult and laborious three-year court battle ensued. The case went all the way to the US Supreme Court where it was finally dismissed. Following the lawsuit, the former chancellor decided that Victor was no longer qualified to be the Campus Budget Director and demoted him. Presently, he is Management Consultant for Planning and Budget. In the thick of the “Asian Food Affair,” AA/PI students passionately supported Victor and mobilized
While attending Cabrillo College, he fell in love and soon after, started a family. In order to make money, he worked on a certificate of completion in accounting while holding down three jobs, one of which was for the UCSC Library that was temporarily housed at Cabrillo College. He moved the entire UCSC Library collection from Cabrillo to UCSC with a pick-up truck. On February 1st, 1965, Victor formally received his first job on campus making 372 dollars per month, starting two positions below clerk level. Thirteen years later, Victor emerged as Assistant Accounting Officer and went on to becoming Campus Budget Director, in the wake of massive state budget reductions that translated into painful cuts for the campus as well.

API Month Keynote Speaker
A A / P I R E S O U R C E
ANGELA OH, a civil rights attorney and former member of President Clinton’s Initiative on Race advisory panel, will give a free public talk about race and politics in the new century on Thursday, April 27, at 8 p.m. in the Stevenson Dining Hall at UC Santa Cruz. Her talk is entitled, “The Politics of Possibilities: Race and Politics in the New Century.” Oh, a former criminal defense attorney, is a leading figure in the public discussion of issues related to race, diversity, and the future of American society. Serving on the president’s advisory panel, which has submitted its report to Clinton, changed Oh’s life. “There aren’t any silver bullets when it comes to race relations,” she has said, but continued discussion is critical, particularly as voters in states like California deal with changing demographics by attacking affirmative action and bilingual education. Oh, a self-described beneficiary of affirmative action, is a defender of affirmative action in higher education and other arenas. Oh is an instructor at UC Irvine, where she is currently teaching a course on race, politics, and policy. She is also a member of the Los Angeles City Human Relations Commission and works with the Asian Pacific American Women’s Leadership Institute, the California Commission on Access to Justice, and the Western Justice Center Foundation. Angela Oh is the keynote speaker for UCSC’s Asian and Pacific Islander Month 2000. Her talk begins four weeks of educational, cultural and social events. “FIRED UP!: COMMUNITY RESURGENCE” is this year’s theme and celebrates a resurgence of community, energy and motivation at UCSC. *Reception 6:30 pm at Stevenson Provost House Sponsored by the UCSC Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center, Women’s Center, Services to STudents Of Color (SSTOC), Educational Opportunity Programs, Stevenson College, Women’s Studies Department, Community Studies Department, Asian Pacific Islanders for Community Awareness, and Asian Pacific Islander Student Alliance.

Restuarant Reviews by Aram Collier
What the PHO?! Santa Cruz Diner Serves Vietnamese Noodles Santa Cruz Diner on Ocean Street now offers pho (as well as adobo). They give the option of chicken or beef fixin’s with the soup, and on the side, cornbread or garlic toast. I should have gotten an idea about what to expect—not that I didn’t already have one. Actually, on appearance, SC Diner does a decent job on the pho: it’s about the right color and it almost has the right noodles—at least they aren’t spaghetti noodles, right? They even give you a side dish with bean sprouts, lemon, jalapeños, and basil, accompanied by Sriracha and hoisin sauce. And it’s a good thing too, because you’ll need all of them! The biggest problem with SC Diner’s pho is the broth doesn’t taste like anything, they seem to have forgotten the fish sauce—amongst Aram Collier other things, I’m sure. In adoutside SC Diner dition, SC Diner’s pho is $5.49! Its price ranks as its second biggest problem. For that price, you can pay a friend for gas and a ride to get pho in San Jose. Unfortunately, for now, that remains the best option for pho-starved UCSC students (outside of making it yourself). BUT, you don’t have to take my word for it. Try it yourself, experiment, and keep the faith that there is good food in Santa Cruz.
I Want Some SUSHI NOW! Good, Fast Sushi in the heart of Downtown Santa Cruz On the corner of Pacific and Soquel is a small kiosk that looks like a newspaper stand. But upon further inspection, it’s Sushi Now! a good, fast place to get seafood, vegetarian and specialty sushi. Sushi Now! offers 12 different kinds of sushi rolls varying in price from $3-4 comparable to Shogun across the street without the restaurant atmosphere-if that’s what you want to avoid. Sushi Now! also offers edamame, miso soup and seaweed salad as accompaniments. They also have my favorite, Botan Rice Candy, which included a really cool bear and truck sticker! I ordered the California Roll (crab, cucumber, avocado, tobiko) and the Hawaiian Roll (unagi, avocado, macadamia nuts, teriyaki sauce). The unagi was fresh, the sushi rice was just about right, and the service was friendly and fast—about 45 minutes. So if you’re downtown Santa Cruz and in need of a quick sushi fix, try out Sushi Now! 5

A Step Forward
A A / P I R E S O U R C E C E N T E R
The Ethnic Student Organizing Council delivered the following letter in response to the attack on the Filipino Student Association “A Step Forward” recruitment program participants. April 14, 2000 Dear Chancellor Greenwood, Following the disturbing incident at Stevenson College, the Ethnic Student Organizing Council (ESOC) has met, and discussed the ways in which the community of Color at UCSC can best seek appropriate action. Comprised of members from the various ethnic organizations on campus, the ESOC serves as a vital form of communication and coalition building. During our last meeting, members of the Filipino Student Association (FSA) described the violent occurrences that interrupted their outreach program, A Step Forward. We have come to understand that a Stevenson student hurled five to seven beer bottles at visiting high school students because their activities disrupted his sleep. Students and a parent were hit by shattering glass, but thankfully, no one was hurt. Particularly disturbing is how dialogue surrounding this incident has become fixated on whether or not the action was racially motivated. Regardless of what this individual was thinking, his actions have had a jarring and extremely painful effect on students of Color. Arguing that this is not a racially motivated incident overwhelmingly hides the severity of this crime, overlooking, and overshadowing the very real, harshly present, and intolerant racial dynamic at UCSC. Student safety has been jeopardized. While racial epithets were not voiced, the effects of what happened are indeed racialized. Students of Color continue to be pushed to the margins of student life, and our events and attempts to create a community have consistently been under attack. Our publicity fliers continue to be torn down from bus stops, and there has been no public follow up with the Kresge incident, where foreign exchange students were shot at with water guns and told to “speak English”. “We should have shot you” was found written on one of the Japanese American Student Association’s fliers publicizing Day of Remembrance, a program that commemorates the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Thus, this is not the first action of violence directed towards students of Color. Rather, this incident offers an example of what students of Color face on a daily basis, and how this University does not present itself as being supportive of ethnic students. Another aspect of this incident that is particularly appalling is how this one student has potentially tainted recruitment of Pilipino students. According to University statistics, enrolled Pilipino frosh account for 3.7% of the 1999-2000 freshmen class. Because these numbers are so low, FSA has taken the initiative in increasing Pilipino enrollment. The occurrence at Stevenson completely undermined all of the effort and dedication FSA put into this crucial recruiting program, as UCSC was presented as a space where students of Color are unwelcome, and unsafe. Organizations such as the African/Black Student Alliance, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, the Asian Pacific Islander Student Alliance and FSA all organize outreach efforts to both accepted UCSC students, and students who are freshmen and sophomores in high school. The students dedicated to these various recruitment projects do the University’s job for free, and bring students of Color to this campus. Yet, we have to fight over funds to make sure that more people that look like us begin to enroll. Administration needs to support these events and the students who spend hours in meetings to actively diversify this campus. Funding needs to be set aside specifically for these events, and tolerance needs to be pushed even more strongly throughout the colleges— specifically within those colleges that are comprised of predominantly White students—by the administration. It is not the job of students of Color to teach diversity, or defend the events they are organizing. Where do we go from here? The ESOC requests a meeting with you to further discuss these issues. One of our representatives will contact you, and let you know when and where we meet. However, in the meantime, it is imperative that you, Chancellor Greenwood publicly denounce this crime, and state that this type of behavior is unacceptable. You need to take a visible stance on this situation, and actively aid in the process of healing and resolution. The community of Color is in a state of crisis. It is the administration’s job to expel the student, and then deal with the larger process. Prove that you are dedicated to diversity by educating areas of campus that are not diverse. Provost Stovall and Alma Sifuentes are to be commended for their strong progressive stance on this issue, but the fight is not theirs alone. White members of administration need to go in and talk with students—it is not enough, or fair to dump issues dealing with race upon faculty and staff of Color. In the face of controversy, White faculty and staff are nowhere to be found. This is deplorable, and needs to change. Ultimately, it is not the job of the students to defend diversity, or explain the reasons for outreach. Rather, it is entirely in the hands of administration to do what they get paid to do. A petition is circulating in defense of the Stevenson student who threw the bottles. Comments such as “he didn’t mean to hit anyone” and “if it were White students who were attacked, the University wouldn’t be doing anything” have consistently been made by Stevenson students, demonstrating that there is no conception of community or understanding that people were hurt. It is your responsibility as Chancellor to lead this University, and step in. Dialogue is needed with Stevenson students, and you. This is your chance to begin to make students of Color feel welcome, and supported on campus. Letting this situation slide and fade will only strengthen and encourage feelings of alienation, frustration, and anger felt by students of Color. It is time to alter the pattern of administrative passivity and adamantly demand diversity and tolerance. Step up to the plate—the spotlight is all yours. In Solidarity, and with Hopes for Change, The Ethnic Student Organizing Council

“Romeo Must Die” Movie Review by Aram Collier Following Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li is the latest Asian film superstar to appear in a Hollywood leading role in the recent release “Romeo Must Die” (Li played a supporting role in 1999’s Lethal Weapon 4). This mainstream exposure of Asian film superstars is important to many Asian Americans. For instance, the opening night audience in San Francisco’s Coronet Theatre was almost exclusively Asian American. Despite this, I feel extremely torn about the films that are being produced. I want to see success for the movie stars that I’ve seen in so many good— and not so good—Hong Kong films, but I’m growing increasingly frustrated with being disappointed and offended by their Hollywood productions. Interestingly (and perhaps to it’s credit?), like Jackie Chan’s “Rush Hour” before it, “Romeo Must Die” contains no white protagonists, instead pairing Asians with African Americans. And like “Rush Hour,” “Romeo Must Die” relies on longlived Hollywood stereotypes when attempting to portray these groups—especially Asian women and families. With the Asian stars in their films, Holly-
wood feels license to continue the story lines and stereotypes of past films. The first five minutes of “Romeo Must Die” features a couple of scantly-clad, hypersexual Asian women kissing and undressing each other. This is the only time you see an Asian woman in the film (with the exception of a growling kung fu cyclist). Overly sexualized Asian women are nothing new in Hollywood films: 1999’s “The Corruptor” starring Chow Yun Fat featured a host of Asian women prostitutes and massage parlor workers. Like “The Corruptor,” “Romeo Must Die” also features Asian gangsters, a patriarch mob boss, and the requisite bamboo flutes and gongs in the musical score, all of which can be found in any number of Hollywood films dealing with an Asian subject. I’m sure that those who are new to Jet Li will be impressed with his abilities after viewing “Romeo Must Die” and Li, Chow, Yeoh and Chan have been able to showcase some of their talents in their Hollywood films. It is refreshing to see Asian actors in leading roles, but it is difficult to enjoy their talents when they are placed in hackneyed and demeaning Hollywood films.
(“Kimura” continued from page 3) their efforts through forums, rallies, and letters of support. Victor’s action demonstrated a method of resistance against racist institutions to the AA/PI student community. His bravery empowered students in their own journeys as they navigated through UCSC life and beyond. Christina Salvin, former UCSC student remembers Victor’s bravery: “As a student, we feel like we’re invincible. We can say anything, write anything, and no one can touch us. But as a staff person, the implications are much greater. Now as a faculty member myself, I can more appreciate what a big deal it was for him to write that letter against other staff members.” Julie Noh, alumni and former APISA member also recalls Victor’s lasting impact: “His situation launched a whole campaign for things like Ethnic Studies, affirmative action, scholarship programs, and the need for an AA/PI Resource Center. He reminded us that not only can you be a radical activist when you’re young, but also later in life.” Although the knowledge that Victor has gained from the experience is in many ways painful, he concedes that he would do the same again: “I used to be very careeroriented. Issues of diversity were not terribly im-
portant to me, which I’m ashamed to say now. So the letter that I wrote did a lot of things. I got to know a lot of AA/PI students here. They asked me to speak at their graduation ceremony [API Grad 1991] which was quite an honor. And it opened my eyes to how the university is really run. What I learned is terrible, but it’s better that I opened my eyes than to keep them closed and have my head in the sand for my entire career.” He continues to share his story at conferences, forums, and with anyone who is interested in learning about a part of campus history. As Victor approaches retirement, he still remains active in community organizations such as the ACLU of Northern California, Santa Cruz Community Credit Union, and Asian Pacific Islanders for Community Awareness (APICA). He continues to pursue his passions such as motorcycle riding, and perhaps most importantly, spends time with his family and nine month old son, Carter. For Victor, life is definitely better seeking out the truth.
