Nearly two dozen members of the
Union community spoke on Wednesday at a “Stop the Hate Rally” in Reamer
Campus Center.

The rally, organized in response
to several reported incidents of  homophobia, anti-Semitism and racism, drew
about 200.

“This is a time for everyone on
campus to step up,” said Fred Alford, dean of students. “It's an opportunity to
raise our community to a higher plane and to develop our community through a
stronger set of bonds.”
