Students protest tenure denial
By
Jim
Monnctt
editor-in-chief
Over a hundred students have
signed a petition in support of
theatre professor Lois carder
who was denied tenure after
eight years at Hope College.
Theatre majors Maria
J.Vaver. a junior, and senior
Shelley Krause a r e leading the
s t u d e n t m o v e m e n t to h a v e
Carder's tenure decision reviewed.
"We're trying to get her tenure
decision overturned," Vaver
said, "because w e think that she
is an e x t r e m e l y e x c e l l e n t prof."
Krouse a g r e e d s a y i n g , "I think
she is too good a professor and
too important to the theatre
department to be let g o . "
Carder who had been at a
theatre convention two w e e k s
ago returned to school to n e w s of
V a v e r and K r a u s e ' s petition
drive.
"I did not hear about what they
were doing until last Monday
(April 16)," Carder said. "I w a s
shocked and humbled that the
students felt so strongly.
And
since then, I've been very proud
that they're standing up for
something that they feel so
strongly about...! h a v e no idea
about the full extent of what
they've been doing."
Krause and V a v e r are a l s o encouraging people to contact their
parents to put p r e s s u r e on the administration to r e v e r s e this decision.
Besides the 100 s i g n a t u r e s of
people who know Carder and support her in her appeal for tenure,
Krause and Vaver h a v e over 600
signatures of students who a g r e e
with the students' right to address the administration's decisions.
"We don't e v e n know if we
need to use it," K r a u s e said, but
they have it to support their right
for peaceful protest.
The chair of the Status Com-
mittee, which rejected Carder
for tenure. Provost J a c o b E.
Nyenhuis explained the tenure
process. For a professors to be
considered for tenure, they need
to be on a tenure track. Once on
the tenure track candidates a r e
evaluated y e a r l y for five y e a r s ,
and then are put on a three y e a r
review. The evaluations are done
by the d ep a rtmen t chair and the
Dean of that a c a d e m i c branch.
Their r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s are
given to the Status C o m m i t t e e
which c o n s i s t s of four tenured
faculty m e m b e r s and h i m s e l f ,
Nyenhuis said.
Speaking for the Status Committee, Nyenhuis said, "The College has established procedures
for tenure and promotion and
those procedures w e r e followed
for e l e v e n c a n d i d a t e s . " Of those
eleven, he said, eight w e r e approved and three were not.
Nyenhuis said the evaluation
for tenure is done a s a "comparative judgment with those
people who are already
tenured."
Richard Smith, theatre department chair, said he w a s confused
by the decision.
"Department colleagues gave
her u n a n i m o u s r e c o m m e n d a tions" for tenure approval. Smith
said. Smith a l s o said Dr. Bobby
Fong, Dean of the Arts and
Humanities, had givern her a
similar praising review. F o n g
refused to c o m m e n t b e c a u s e of
the confidential nature of the proceedings.
The c o n f i d e n t i a l i t y of the
Status C o m m i t t e e ' s work has
contributed to the p r e v a l e n c e of
rumors and confusion a m o n g
concerned students, thought
Smith, Vaver a n d Krause.
"It's hard to explain. They
won't a n s w e r any question,"
Krause said a s to the Status Committee's v i e w s . "Most of the
questions we have a s k e d h a v e
been d e n i e d , " s h e said.
Krause and Vaver h a v e been

m o v i n g through c o l l e g e c h a n n e l s
and s e e Nyenhuis h i m s e l f as "a
channel to g e t to (their) ultimate
g o a l " of a r e v e r s a l of Carder's
tenure rejection.
At Krause and Vaver's request
Nyenhuis a g r e e d to m e e t with a
s m a l l group of students about
their concerns. His s e c r e t a r y
w a s given a list of thirty-one
n a m e s and N y e n h u i s m e t with
eight to ten of them.
Nyenhuis found the student
support of Carder "unusual," but
he said it has happened before.
"Basically what is required is
one student w h o is c o n c e r n e d and
generates a response from
others," Nyenhuis said about the
student support.
Krause and Vaver a r e to m e e t
with Jacobson about Carder today.
Carder learned of her tenure
rejection in J a n u a r y . She said,
"All sorts of things w e n t through
m y mind at that time. I think
what is important is m y choice in
deciding how to handle those
reactions."
"I chose action," s h e said
about her decision to fight the
Status Committee's ruling.
Following c h a n n e l s , Carder
met with S m i t h and then F o n g
for clarification about the rejection.
"I believe I r e c e i v e d clarification to the best of their ability. I
think they did the best they
could...They too were c o n f u s e d
why I didn't g e t it," Carder said.
Smith said, "Lois h a s taken it
e x t r e m e l y well. Of course, no one
wants to be rejected. She has
been tremendously supportive of
the department. She hasn't let up
at all"' in her teaching.
' I'm upset about it," Smith
said, because after eight y e a r s
of e x e m p l a r y r e c o r d , s h e

as anyone I've worked with in
this d e p a r t m e n t . "

Student involvement
aids hunger week
(Holland) - Although most college students who visit southern
Florida during spring break hope

they helped with planting,

The involvement in ECHO'S
work w a s a r r a n g e d through
Hope for the World," a project
initiated at the college this year
as a way of involving students in
combatting hunger and meeting
other needs of the Third World.
"Hope for the World," funded
through a Venture Grant from
the Michigan Campus Compact,
has emphasized developing opportunities of which other student organizations can take advantage.
Some of the endeavors, such as
the work with ECHO represent
new directions; others involve
more traditional opportunities,
such as the Holland Zeeland
CROP WALK, held this year on
Saturday.
"I'm very pleased with the project." said Dr. Robin Klay, the
group's f a c u l t y a d v i s o r and
associate professor of e c o n o m i c s
and business administration at
Hope "The real test, however,
will be to what extent these
organizations that have been involved will carry through."
The current plan, for e x a m p l e ,
is for work with ECHO to continue under the a u s p i c e s of the
college's chapter of Tri-Beta, the
biology honors society. The relationship could be mutually benficial - ECHO has developed
research topic proposals that
could be of special interest to
biology students, and internships
for science majors a r e also
available at ECHO.
"Hope for the World's" work
with the CROP WALK has emphasized enhancing the college's
participation in the walk. An
"Awareness Dinner" held April
18 and coordinated by the Hope
College Republicans, for example. discussed the tragedy of
world hunger a s a w a y of
highlighting the walk's importance as a tool to c o m b a t it.
The idea for "Hope for the
World" was generated earlier
this y e a r in Klay's " E c o n o m i c
Development" course, which has
a specific focus on the key role
that private voluntary organizations • n t e y - n r -Third* W o r l d -

and Klay w e r e joined in the project by the college's chapter of
Mortar Hoard.
Additional efforts of "Hope for
the World" include e n g a g i n g the
a s s i s t a n c e of other groups on
c a m p u s that have an interest in
assisting the Third World.
The "Hope for the World" project is one of several volunteer
programs established at the college in the past year "Students
for Community Service," which
s e r v e s as a clearing house for
volunteer activities, was
established at the conclusion of
the 1988-89 a c a d e m i c y e a r .
Another, "The Environmental
I s s u e s G r o u p , " which coordinated tree plantings in conjunction with Earth Day 1990,
was founded this fall.
/v
More established groups at the
college h a v e also undertaken
volunteer projects. The college's
fraternities and sororities h a v e
held food and clothing drives.

Dr John H. Jacobson, president of Hope College, is also a
charter m e m b e r of the Michigan
Campus Compact, a group of 10
Michigan colleges and universities which have untied to promote civic and social responsibility on their c a m p u s e s . The
program at Hope College, under
the direction of community service consultant Susan Williams
since January, is creating a
registry of community s e r v i c e
needs and identifying student
volunteers who can be matched
to the needs
The Compact program provides "Venture Grants" to support the development or expansion of community s e r v i c e project Like the "Hope for the
World" project. "Students for
Communtiy Service" also received funding from Michigan Campus Compact.
With the approach of National
Youth Service Day, comm e m o r a t e d this year on Friday,
April 27, the most recent round of
Hope student volunteerism is
especially timely. The day is a
national celebration of the efforts
of young people to make meaningful. positive changes in their
c o m m u n i t i e s through service.
Williams is pleased with the
willingness of Hope students to
contribute their time and
resources meeting the n e e d s of
others.

Dinner illustrates differences
by Carrie Maples
news editor
The Hope College Republicans
sponsored a Hunger A w a r e n e s s
dinner in the Keltz to illustrate
the d i f f e r e n c e s b e t w e e n an
a v e r a g e meal in the first, second
and third worlds, and to give information about the probelm of
hunger last Wednesday.
When the p a r t i c i p a n t s
registered they selected a coin to
determine their placement. A
dime entitled the person to a first
world dinner, a nickel to a second
world dinner, and a penny to a
third world dinner. The percentages of each were based on
world food distribution.
The lucky few who picked
.dimes s a t a t tables with -candles
and flowers and enjoyed a meal
including salad, chicken, steak,
and a special dessert. They
received a very high percentage
of protein. Those who chose
nickels were treated at a table
with flowers and a nice dinner
with cookies for desert. All their
daily dietary requirements w e r e
met. The greatest percentage of
participants received third world
meals. They sat on the floor in
the Pit and were served water, a
roll, and white rice.
E a c h year 13-18 million people
die of hunger or hunger-related
diseases. More people will die of
hunger in 2 days than died in the
atomic attacks on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki.
Roland VanEst, a 1983 Hope
graduate, spoke about his personal experiences in the P e a c e
Corps and about the effort that
needs to be m a d e to do something
about hunger.
"I think it's important, that we
need to come here and talk about
hunger." he said. "It's just a
gesture at this point." VanEst
told the people to "lake the
lessons beyond this day and
beyond Hope I think we have to
go beyond just knowing about it
and thinking about it."
VanEst urged participation in
groups like ECHO and the CROP
Walk, but cautioned students to
check them out first, "if you
don't look into it. you don't
know."
He said it w a s time students
were involved because "you are
not middle class, you are upper
class, so do something. To whom
more has been given, more is ex-'
pected."

WIO gets involved with the
fight against domestic violence
by Jon O'Brien
staff writer
The number of a b u s e d w o m e n
in Allegan and O l t a w a s counties
is a lot higher than m a n y people
think It is e s t i m a t e d that one
third of the w o m e n in t h e s e a r e a s

domestic violence.
It i s
estimated that an act of d o m e s t i c
violence h a p p e n s e v e r y 18 second
in America. The W o m e n ' s Issues
Organization of Hope College is
aware of the problem and is trying to help in a n y w a y that they
can.
On Friday, March 30 they
began their ''Change to Change

orgaization c o l l e c t e d s p a r e
change from students and faculty. They also set up collection
boxes areound the c a m p u s to collect m a t e r i a l s , such as, m u s i c

These m a t e r i a l s a r e for the

w a s bought by the Center for
Women in Transition. The m o n e y
c a m e from local fundraising efforts and a $50,000 donation.
The idea of getting involved
with shelter w a s first proposed
by Fonda Green, advisor for
Women's Issues Organization.
"The group really loved the idea.
They j u m p e d right on it," said
Green. The project w a s h ea d ed
by Kathy Harger, Beth Lewallen
and R e b e c c a VanDerKolk.
"The goal of the fund raising
w a s two fold. First, it would
g e n e r a t e s o m e supplies for the
shelter. But more importantly,
the c a m p u s would b e c o m e m o r e
a w a r e of the problem of a b u s e , "
said Green.
Officially the fundraising w a s
to end on April 7. The Women's
Issues Organization had a raffle
at the showing of Parenthood.
According to Green, donations
w e r e still c o m i n g in this past Fri-
L!
day. The organization e s t i m a t e s
that they raised c l o s e to $1,000.00
for Ginny's Place.
Green e x c l a i m e d , "The drive
touched a lot of people. I h a v e
been pleased (touched( with the
response of the c a m p u s . It let5
me know that people understand
cruelty and want to help rectify
the situation as m u c h as possible."
There w a s not m u c h advertising for the drive. Yet, m a n y people on the c a m p u s participated.
Donations c a m e from faculty
and students. The entire project
c o s t w a s c o v e r e d by a r e a
businesses.

Professor will spend
fall in Soviet Union
(HOLLAND) - Dr. G.L. P e n r o s e ,
a s s o c i a t e professor of history at
Hope College, will spend the fall
s e m e s t e r of the 1990-91 a c a d e m i c
y e a r in the Soviet Union at
K u b a n S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y in
Krasnodar, a city on the e a s t e r n
shore of the Black Sea.
P e n r o s e will be E x c h a n g e Professor of A m e r i c a n Studies under
a program jointly a d m i n i s t e r e d
by the Great Lakes College
Association (GLCA) and the
A s s o c i a t e d C o l l e g e s of the
Midwest (ACM). The p r o g r a m

undergraduates to the USSR

l a n g u a g e and culture.
The a g r e e m e n t with Kuban
State University includes an exc h a n g e of p r o f e s s o r s a n d
students that last y e a r brought
f i v e Soviet students and a professor to ACM schools.
Penrose has been to the USSR
before. In 1973-74 he spent a year
in Moscow, Leningrad, Tashkent
and Ashkhabad completing the
research for his doctoral dissertation.
In 1980 the Soviet Ministry of
Higher Education refused permission to Penrose for another
research trip because of the
political sensitivity of his topic,
which dealt with the early RussoChinese trade and. diplomatic
reliations. '
*
v .-
P e n r o s e e x p l a i n s that the
d o c u m e n t s he needed contained
e x t e n s i v e geographical desscriptions of the border that w a s
developing between Imperial
Russia and China in the seventeenth century. Those descriptions might h a v e been an embarr a s s m e n t to the Soviets, who still
h a v e serious border disputes
with the Chinese.
P e n r o s e e m p h a s i z e s the importance of this upcoming trip
for both his teaching and his
research.
"Hope College takes very
seriously its c o m m i t m e n t to good
t e a c h i n g , " s a y s Penrose, "And
students should expect that the
people who instruct them h a v e
e x t e n s i v e personal e x p e r i e n c e
4
on t h e g r o u n d ' in t h e i r
s p e c i a l t i e s . It's hard to i m a g i n e
d o i n g an a c c e p t a b l e job of
t e a c h i n g about the Soviet Union
without getting m y own feel for
how the theories of 'perestroika'
a r e worked out in daily life."
Penrose is also confident that
the new conditions in the USSR
make it much more likely that he
will gain access to the materials
that he needs to complete his cur-,
rent research. At the end of the
GLCA-ACM program he plans a
trip to Leningrad, where he will
work in the archives of the Oriental I n s t i t u t e of h t e . S o v i e t
Academy of Sciirices.

They say I could h a v e learned
everything I n e e d e d to know in
kindergarden. T h a t ' s a great
plan if you're into the c u s t o m e r
in her M e r c e d e s a s you w a s h her
windshield and c h e c k her oil.
For the rest of u s w e need an
education. A C o l l e g e Education.
This week with the return of
warm weather, I've been contemplating ( a s a form of procrastination) what I h a v e learned in three y e a r s at Hope. H a v e I
learned a n y t h i n g 9 Of course.
Anything useful? Well, let's s e e :
In c l a s s e s I ' v e l e a r n e d a
wealth of stuff that hopefully has
combined to m a k e m e a liberally
educated g e n t l e p e r s o n .
First
year I learned h o w
ancient
Greece fell, that God and J e s u s
m i g h t be g a y
(thanks
D r . P a l m a ) , and that m y belief
that I hated j o g g i n g w a s the truth
and not s e l f - d e f e n s e .
Sophomore y e a r I d i s c o v e r e d
there is a correlation b e t w e e n the
number of storks in an a r e a and
the birth rate, why people like attractive people, and that you can
get an A- in s t a t s for stupid peo-
ple e v e n with open book, open
note test
This y e a r I've learned about
the Great Vowel Shift, how hard
it is to write a play, and about the
likelihood that in the next ten
y e a r s a pipeline will carry the
Great Lakes' water to T e x a s for
s h o w e r s and mixing drinks.
So m u c h for book learning. But
this is by no m e a n s (and ext r e m e s ) all of what I've learned
at Hope College.
I've d i s c o v e r e d the fine art of
labeling and stereotyping. As an
Ohioan, I've been labeled not only an Ohio State fan, but a U of M,
Tigers, Lions and Pistons hater.
This c a m e a s a shock since I've
a l w a y s liked the Tigers and the
Pistons ( e x c e p t L a i m b e e r ) . I've
never m u c h thought about the
Lions, U of M or Ohio State. I a m
a Cleveland Browns fan first, last
and a l w a y s .
Other labeling that s e e m s to go
on a lot at Hope c o n c e r n s the
greek s y s t e m . B e c a u s e I c h o s e to
r e m a i n independent, people h a v e
a s s u m e d that I hate the greeks.
P e r s o n a l l y , e v e n while living
with five independents and two
g r e e k s the topic of any greek
organization just doesn't c o m e
up in conversation m u c h . There
are m o r e important things to talk
about like baseball, football, and
the physics of w a t e r balloon propulsion.
Another important lesson I've
learned is how to play euchre. I
held out till m y s o p h o m o r e year,
but a m not a tried and true addict. Give m e a loner, a signal
and a s m i l e and I'll be your
friend for life.
I've learned about the Fantasia Frenzy when people c r a m
the Dow trying to g e t in better
s h a p e ; when people run around
asking e v e r y o n e who they are
taking; when poor s m u c k s like
m e m a k e lists of possibles and
then debate them with friends
over late night euchre; and when
people have to soft s h o e to find
out if they a r e going a s friends or
as " r e a l " dates.
Coming back to sports, I've
realized that Western Michigan
needs a crash c o u r s e in yelling at
football g a m e s .
Screaming,
as m a n y other people. The hurt
we felt from being e x c l u d e d from
their lives turned into the a n g e r
of rejection.
Many of us cried out things

enough for y o u ? " We w a n t e d
them to be happy and y e t the fact
that w e couldn't s h a r e in that
happiness m a d e it a t i m e w h e r e
our joy for t h e m w a s of resentment and thoughts of "Well, I
wonder how long it will l a s t . "
I'm afraid for their relationship b e c a u s e their relationships

Letters to the Editor
Key to learning fund needs help
Dear editor,
R e m e m b e r the Critical I s s u e s
S y m p o s i u m ? The s p e e c h
Rev.Boesak g a v e about the
heinous s y s t e m of Aparteid in
South Africa? T h e a n g e r you felt
toward the g o v e r n m e n t of South
Africa and the question that kept
popping up in your h e a d : "But
what c a n I, a m e r e c o l l e g e student, do to end i t ? "
One a n s w e r to this q u e s t i o n s
has finally r e a c h e d m e . This is
the fourth annual Key to Learning c a m p a i g n . T h o s e w h o h a v e
attended Hope in the p a s t three
y e a r s are, undoubtedly, a l r e a d y
familiar with the Key to Learning c a m p a i g n . I w o u l d like,
therefore to f a m i l i a r i z e those
who don't know about it with the
c a m p a i g n and r e m i n d those w h o
know about it that it's that t i m e
again.
The Key to Learning c a m p a i g n
w a s c o n c e i v e d in 1986, by a Hope
College South African Task
F o r c e in which w e students w e r e
represented by three of our
peers. The c a m p a i g n w a s designed to p r o v i d e Hope College
students with the opportunity to
particpate in the Open Society
Scholarship Fund ( O S S F ) , a fund
which g i v e South African black
students the opportunity to attend integrated universities in
their own country.
You're probably asking, "So
what is this Key to Learning
thing?" Do you r e m e m b e r that
deposit y o u placed on your k e v s
at the beginning of the school
y e a r ? Neither did i. Well, w h e n
w e g o to take our k e y s l ac k, all
w e h a v e to do is tell our R.D. or
R.A. that w e want our m o n e y to
g o to the Key to L e a r n i n g fund.
That m o n e y will be a d d e d to that
of our p e e r s which will then be
donated to the OSSF.
That's all w e h a v e to do to support the abolition of Aparteid.
It's that e a s y . The m o r e m o n e y
w e raise, the m o r e s t u d e n t s w e
can support, so w h e n you to take
your k e y s back, r e m e m b e r the
Key to Learning c a m p a i g n and
help put and end to Aparteid instead of spending it on video
games!

Curriculum change needed
Dear Editor
„
I a m writing in r e s p o n s e to the Editorial in the Anchor, Vol. 103,
issue 23.1 do feel that in order to h a v e a thorough background, one
must e x p e r i e n c e other cultures b e c a u s e there wasn't one superior
r a c e in history Hope College m u s t m o v e with the times. "In
g r a d u a t e schools a s well a s the business world, minorities are
e v e r y w h e r e . To not know s o m e t h i n g of their cultures is to be unprepared." The faculty, staff and administration and especially the
students should t a k e this s t a t e m e n t and do something about it. A
call for action should not be limited to a g u e s t speaker or two. It is
up to us.
Hope College h a s been m e e t i n g , debating, and waiting for a
c h a n g e to hit. But it is not going to happen unless 2,700 of us tell them
what w e really want. The different c o m m i t t e e s that have been
working on a m o r e " d i v e r s e " c a m p u s should be commended. But
why let a boistrous s p e a k e r s c a r e you into action? The few of us that
are a w a r e of the problem can talk till we a r e blue in the face. But it
will only happen if w e all open our e y e s
I WOULD LIKE TO S E E A C H A N G E IN T H E CURRICULUM TO
I N C L U D E T H E MANY O T H E R RACES THAT HAVE MADE A
CONTRIBUTION TO AMERICA.
As mentioned before, don't let t h e s e g u e s t speakers s c a r e you into
doing s o m e t h i n g ; do it b e c a u s e YOU feel there is a need.

For those of you who have yet to step foot off of Hope's
caropus, you ought to wander toward downtown Holland and
check out a little restaurant called Till Midnight. Don't
let the white linen scare you! This is a spot you can dine
in wearing shorts and a tee shirt or a tux, and feel
perfectly at home.
To coin a phrase, it is casually
elegant.
Crayons on all the table encourage you to let
your artistic side take over.
Till Midnight has become a
popular place for professors to hold meetings, for students
to take a special date, or to have mom and dad take you
when they come to town.
Till Midnight offers some of the
finest desserts in town, if you haven't heard by now. Till
Midnight also boasts a fine collection of non-alcoholic
wines and import and domestic beers.
Lunch prices range
from $3-$7 and dinners run $10-$20.
A late night menu is
served from 10 p.m. to midnight, making an ideal place for
a study break, as many who have found Till Midnight will
attest. Soups, salads, light pastas, cappucino or desserts
are available. Reservations are suggested on weekends, as
Till Midnight is a popular spot for theater goers and out
of towners alike. Take out is available. 208 College Ave.

which was aimed towards
e d u c a t i n g f i v e to 11 y e a r - o l d s
about the d a n g e r s of s u b s t a n c e
abuse.
T h e p r o g r a m tells the s t o r y of
M i c h a e l , a 14 y e a r - o l d boy w h o
h a s s t o l e n his s i s t e r Cory's p i g g y

S m u r f s and H u e y , D e w e y and
Louie c o m e to Cory's aid and
help Michael f a c e up to his pro-
blem.
T h e p r o g r a m e f f e c t i v e l y combines comedy
and the
s e r i o u s n e s s of the s i t u a t i o n .
Upon discovering Michael's
s t a s h under his bed, Alf o b s e r v e s
"Toto, s o m e t h i n g tells m e w e ' r e
not in c a r t o o n • t e r r i t o r y
anymore."
But the p r o g r a m isn't all
s m i l e s and s m u r f i n e s s either.
B u g s is one a n n o y e d bunny w h e n
he c a t c h e s M i c h a e l .
"What's this - a j o i n t ? " he

M i c h a e l t r i e s to c o n v i n c e the
c h a r a c t e r s that he s m o k e s pot
b e c a u s e he w a n t s to, a n d that he
is in c h a r g e of his o w n life. But
none of the c h a r a c t e r s fall for it.
T h e y take M i c h a e l to s e e " T h e
Man in C h a r g e " - t h e d r u g
m o n s t e r w h o tells h i m d r u g s
" m a k e you feel better - don't
they?
In addition the c h a r a c t e r s g i v e
Michael a g l i m p s e of h i s c o r p s e like future.
"Is that m e 9 "
" W e l l it a i n ' t F r e d d y
K r u e g e r , " though indeed it bears
a remarkable resemblance.
T h e p r o g r a m g i v e s many ins i g h t s to the d a r k n e s s of the drug
world. "The bigger the up, the
s t e e p e r the down. Pretty
soon...you gotta take drugs just
to feel n o r m a l , " Baby Kermit
tells Michael.
Another problem confronted in
the show is confronting the prob l e m of ot hers and to tell an adult
if children think their siblings or
friends m i g h t be having prob l e m s . In doing this, the cartoon
a l s o points out the importance of
p a r e n t s not to b r u s h off
c h i l d r e n ' s p r o b l e m s as
" s o m e t h i n g they'll grow out of."
T h e p r o g r a m f e a t u r e s one
m u s i c a l n u m b e r "Wonderful
W a y s to S a y No," that gives
children (and Michael) many different options for s a y i n g "No" to
drugs.
V i d e o c a s s e t t e s a n d educational m a t e r i a l s will be donated
to schools, libraries, community
groups and video stores for free

thought. They conduct scientific
research and c o n v e r s e in foreign
languages.
But now that spring is here,
students again are communicating with e a c h other a little more p r i m i t i v e l y : with their
T-shirts.
/ ' S t u d e n t s h a v e their identities
tied up with shirts to a very great
extent, and I b e l i e v e they do
c o m m u n i c a t e with one another
through their 'shirtspeak'
l a n g u a g e , " said P r o f e s s o r Shay
Sayre of San J o s e S t a t e University, who s u r v e y e d students at six
c a m p u s e s about their T-shirt
preferences.
'"T-shirts g i v e you a group
identity, it s h o w s your loyalty to
a particular t e a m or group," added M e m p h i s State U n i v e r s i t y ' s
Bettina Cornwell, who also has
conducted scholarly r e s e a r c h in'to why T-shirts, of all things, are
so popular on c a m p u s e s .
' " C o l l e g e s a r e wonderful a r e a s
to look at and study T-shirts
b e c a u s e so m a n y students w e a r
t h e m , " Cornwell noted.
Not e v e r y o n e is happy that
students w e a r T-shirts, or with
what they're s a y i n g .
In e a r l y March, University of
SiHJthwestern Louisiana D e a n of
Student Life Mary M c P h a u l told
a USL fraternity to stop selling Tshirts with m e s s a g e s that "could
be construed as n e g a t i v e when
the university is trying to put its
best foot forward."
USL business fraternity Pi
Sigma Epsilon had been selling
shirts e m b l a z o n e d with the "Top
Ten R e a s o n s I Chose To Attend
The University of Southwestern
Louisiana," including "Wanted a
foreign g r a d u a t e student to teach

" z o n e s . " which later w a s overturned on free s p e e c h grounds.
Such shirts s a y more about the
w e a r e r s than about the schools
they attend. S a y r e and Cornwell
contend.
Both professors said that shirts
sporting collegiate logos or the
Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts are
popular at nearly all c a m p u s e s
" T h e s e shirts say 'I'm welltraveled.'" Cornwell said.
S o m e are better-traveled than
others. When eight Soviet exc h a n g e students arrived at Grinnell College in Iowa earlier this
t e r m . Grinnellians c h o s e to greet
t h e m with a T-shirt reading,
"Not Your A v e r a g e C o m m u n i s t
Party."
Colleges are
wonderful areas to
look at and study Tshirts because so
many students wear
them.
"Students covet shirts from
p l a c e s furthest from their campus. Hard Rock Cafe shirts are
popular, but the m o r e s c a r c e the
