Letters to the Chronicle
Redefining freedom I am an international student here at Columbia and am currently in my third semester at the sound departament. I came to this country in December 1999 and since then I have witnessed more than a fair share of ugly incidents that involved the local police. My most recent was on the evening of Friday the 13th—Good Friday. As me and friend of mine were walking along 111th Street near Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, we were stopped by the police. Our crime was as the officer put it “well its friday night and we wan’t to check that you didn’t kill anyone.” Two police cars arrived and we were told to put our hands on the hood of the car, and then we were searched. This was for me a very uncomfortable and degrading situation. When I attempted to question the officers actions I was told to shut up! If this is what you Americans call freedom, than I prefer to live in China! Sophmore/Sound Looking for two tongues Hi I went to look up the StaceyAnn Chin article on your web site...donde esta’ ? I’m surprised there was no mention of the performance poetry band “I was born with Two Tongues” who shared the evening with her. hmmmm. Julie Caffey Staff / Hokin Center So, what do YOU think?
