Bill may require student drug tests
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE ? Even as sonic achlctcs began
suing to stop having to take drug tests, a Tennessee state legislator
has introduced a bill that would require anyone who wants to attend
one of the state's colleges to be tested for drug use.
"The law hasn't passed, and we'd certainly resist it if it did,"
said Don Eastman, assistant at UT's chancellor.
Hedy Wicnberg of the American Civil Liberties Union in
Nashville agreed. "Basically, it treats the innocent and guilty alike.
It's patently unconstitutional because it doesn't ask for 'probable
cause.'
Coors speech rekindles bovcott

HARVARD UNIVERSITY ? The generally dormant nationwide
campus boycott of Coors beer flared up again briefly last
week as William Coors, chairman of the Adolph Coors Brewing
Co., spoke at Harvard.
Demonstrators picketed Coors' Feb. 25 speech to Harvard's
Conservative Club, accusing the brewery's politically conservative
management of race and sex bias in hiring, union busting and funding
Nicaraguan contras.
Reagan's college support slipping
OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY ? The enormous support President
Reagan has enjoyed on American campuses may be slipping,
if recent events at Ohio State are any indication.
A conservative student group's effort to get Reagan to speak at
OSU's commencement this spring has generated controversy, complaints
the ceremony would be too political, and even a death
threat.

Houscr said USC and Clemson
rank third and fourth for the
highest tuition costs for state supported
or assisted schools in the
Southeast. Although USC President
James Holderman has said
tuition will not be raised next
year, Houser says a great threat
still exists for the future.
Many of the marchers reflected
this concern. Ryan Wieck, a
biology sophmorc said, "It's
critical that they completely fund
our budget.
"If they really want to drain
the student body then they can go
ahead and lower the funding
percentage," he said.
Rogers said the legislators arc
looking less toward aiding higher
education this year because of
major state revenue shortfalls.
He said most of the members
would vote for a proposition to
fight tuition fee increases if it
would not require higher state
taxes.
"You've got to be here, and if
you're not here and you're not
prepared to be here and you're
not prepared to come back and

Despite the predictions of SG
members, fewer USC-Columbia
students marched than on Feb.

Debbie Isak, an international
studies junior who attended both
marches, said she was disappointed
in the attendance at the
marches. "I think it's a shame
that out of 25,0(X) people only

towards the State House carrying
signs and chanting slogans such
as "You've gotta fight for your
right to study."
After the speeches, the marchers
convened in the House
gallery, where they were introduced
to the legislators and
applauded by the representatives.
Donald Wood, SG political
liaison, said the budget will be
debated until June. He said
students should continue to lobby
by meeting with their representatives
from both houses and
writing letters.

feminist 1
By CAL JOHNSON
News rcporlcr
Elaine Showalter, an author of
books dealing with feminist
criticism, spoke at Gambrell
auditorium Wednesday night
about gender and literary theory.
Showalter, an English professor
at Princeton University,
has written about the stance of
modern women in contemporary
literature. Her speech was sponsored
by the English Department
as part of Women's History
Month.
During the speech, she talked
about putting a new light on
feminist criticism, which traditionally
has involved the study of
.women writers and female
characterization in modern
literature. Showalter said she
wants to take feminist criticism
one step futher into what she calls
gender theory.
In gender theory, literature is

analyzed with respect to the way
gender changes perspectives of
people and society. Gender
theory not only involves the study
of women, but also masculinity
as a feminist subject, she said.
Sho waiter criticized the
predominantly male teaching
system. She attacked critic
Harold Bloom and the idea that
gender analysis is "writing of aggression"
or an expression of
resentment towards a maledominated
society.
Some male feminists are trying
to master the feminist perspective
on literature, but Showalter said
thov mav need to studv ihe
masculine aspects of gender
theory.
Gender theory is spreading
beyond literature to other fields,
she said. "We are on the route to ^
something very new, very
wonderful and very human," she
said.
