Article starts sit-in, shut-down CHICAGO (AP) — The use of “M-B,” police talk for “male black,” in a story about a fight at a campus party has led to a sit-in that is shutting down the student newspaper at DePaul University. Last week, dozens of DePaul stu dents, most of them black, stormed the office of the weekly DePaulia, ordering staff members to leave. About 20 students have been holed up ever since, with no resolution in sight. DePaul’s president, the Rev. John Minogue, asked newspaper staffers and protesters to reach an agreement, then suspended publication of Friday’s edition. University spokeswoman Denise Mattson said officials saw the situa tion as a learning experience for the students and had no plans to end the protest. The protesters demand the ouster of DePaulia’s editor in chief, 21 year-old Zack Martin, who is white. They also demand that the paper pub lish weekly articles on minority con cerns and that the school do more to curtail racism and punish offenders. The takeover came after weeks of bickering over the Feb. 17 front-page article about a brawl at a campus party. The story quoted a police re port describing “several M-B’s throw ing chairs and trash into the crowd.” Black students complained that the excerpt from the police report, the only mention of race in the story, was irrelevant and perpetuated nega tive stereotypes about blacks. Following the complaints, the newspaper published an editorial say ing the two reporters who covered the fight did not intend to write an unbal anced or insensitive article. Martin was unsure when the news paper would resume publication but said it wouldn’t be this week. Racial tensions had been simmer ing at the Catholic school on Chicago’s North Side before the pro test broke open the issue. Just under 10 percent of the nearly 16,800 stu dents are black. Seventy percent are white. “The DePaulia is representative of a bigger evil that DePaul Univer sity possesses and that’s institution alized racism,” said Eric Wright, a 20-year-old sophomore among those occupying the newspaper’s basement office. The editor in chief, who has re sisted demands to print an apology, said he didn’t initially see a problem with the story because it quoted di rectly from a police report. What are you going to wear?
