 Students Threatened With Expulsion Over 'Grand Wizard' Drawing -- 10/15/2004
After elections for Student Government Association (SGA) President in March, Patrick Higgins, who was defeated, was at a post-election party with fellow students where a caricature of one of them as the "Grand Wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan was drawn on a dry erase board.
The caricature was drawn to mock the claim that Higgins was a "racist" because he opposed a plan that would have allotted a certain number of seats in the Student Senate for members of ALANA, which represents "African, Latino/a, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American" students at the university.
The drawing depicts the "Grand Wizard" wearing a pointed hat and a cape, holding a burning cross.

 Scratch Tour, Featuring Grand Wizard Theodore, the Original Jazzy Jay, Z-Trip, Mixmaster Mike, Dilated Peoples - ...
Enter Scratch the Experience, as I like to call it: a hip-hop sensorium consisting of a Doug Pray-directed film, a scratch-and-jam-packed CD, and an once-in-a-lifetime concert featuring some of the most innovative and influential figures in turntable history that may be making its head-bobbing way to your respective towns, if you're lucky.
In fact, after Dilated had effortlessly jammed through their finale, "Worst Comes to Worst", it was the Beat Junkies and Mixmaster Mike -- behind the MCing of Grand Wizard Theodore -- that shut down the Palace with an impromptu jam session.
Like most DJ shows, the party doesn't officially stop until security kicks out the band as well as the fans, who hang around hungrily for autographs, swag, or just to share tricks of the trade with some of the most esteemed figures in turntable history.
