Confronting Campus Racism From Day One
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sidney Urquhart/Reported by Andrea Sachs

<p> Not every college orientation week includes a jolting
theatrical experience. But this summer CORNELL UNIVERSITY has
sent letters to its 3,000 incoming freshmen urging them to
attend campus performances of David Feldshuh's prizewinning 1989
drama Miss Evers' Boys. The play is a searing account of the
U.S. government's lethally misguided effort to study the
degenerative effects of syphilis on a group of rural black men
in Alabama. Opening the school year with the play "is an
institutional statement that we would like all of the diverse
people on our campus to understand," says Cornell law professor
Larry Palmer.
