[Rainey]

Lindsay asked me to forward this link to the group. An article today
described a party at a local San Diego college celebrating racism and
sexism. School official are condemning it - but won't penalize the
students who organized it. Do you agree, or do you think the students
should be punished?

SAN DIEGO -- Administrators at the University of California, San Diego
are condemning a weekend ghetto-themed party thrown off-campus by
fraternity students to mock Black History Month, but they aren't
likely to discipline anyone, it was reported Wednesday.

The so-called "Compton Cookout" event urged all participants to wear
chains, don cheap clothes and speak very loudly, The San Diego Union-
Tribune reported. Female participants were encouraged to be "ghetto
chicks."

The invitation read, "For those of you who are unfamiliar with ghetto
chicks -- Ghetto chicks usually have gold teeth, start fights and
drama, and wear cheap clothes ...," the Union-Tribune reported.
