Calif. University Investigates Off-Campus Party That Allegedly Mocked Hispanics

SANTA CLARA, Calif. Feb 17, 2007 (AP)— A "South of the Border" theme party has stirred outrage at a Silicon Valley university after students showed up dressed as Hispanic janitors, gardeners, gangbangers and pregnant teens.
Photographs from the private, off-campus party organized by Santa Clara University students in late January appeared on the Internet soon afterward, prompting an outcry on campus.
One image shows a partygoer with a balloon stuffed under her shirt, making her appear pregnant. In another, a woman wears pink rubber cleaning gloves and carries a feather duster.
Paul Locatelli, president of the nearly 8,400-student university, has condemned the party. No students have been disciplined, but a campus spokeswoman said the school is investigating.
