The article describes two incidents that occurred on campus Jan. 26 and 27. The first incident was described in an e-mail written by a female undergraduate student of Mexican descent. In the e-mail, which she distributed to a number of friends, she said that she and another student were victims of verbal harassment and menacing. She said that on Jan. 26 she was walking with the other student shortly after 9:30 p.m. on East Avenue between Tower Road and the Thurston Avenue bridge when a group of men in a pickup truck began to follow them and yell ethnic slurs. The student reported that at one point several men chased her and her friend. They were able to elude the pursuers, she said. (January 29, 2002)
