Kent State University President Michael Schwartz said Sept. 11 he would destroy some 20,000 KSU catalogs featuring a photo of robed, hooded Ku Klux Klansmen over a headline noting the school is "celebrating 25 years of excellence." The photo is actually from a book about the Klan being published by KSU's University Press, which sends out the catalogs as sales tools to book buyers around the country. The photo "makes sense" as an illustration of the book, but "is totally inappropiate on the catalog cover," Schwartz said. "I apologize to anyone who was offended." Vermont university considers smoking ban * CD BURLINGTON, Vt. ? Vermont's State Department of Health ruled the University of Vermont, which is considering banning all tobacco smoking from campus by July 1991, does not comply with state smoking laws. State inspectors told the school it would have to install elaborate ventilation systems in several building to comply with the law, but the school does not have the money to install them, the Vermont Cynic, the campus paper, reported. On Sept. 10, University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Donna Shalala proposed banning smoking in all campus buildings by next year. Study shows more women earning doctorates WASHINTON, D.C. ? Some 35 percent of the doctoral degrees handed out each year now go to women, up from 27 percent in 1978, the American Council on Education reported. About four of 10 of the female doctorates in 1988 planned to go into teaching, down from 53 percent in 1978, ACE added. "As more women doctorates seek jobs outside of academia, it will be harder and harder for colleges to eradicate the disparities in the number of male and female faculty members," said Cecilia Ottinger, report coauthor. ? j %T 1 1 4 budget woes move to iNeorasKa s colleges LINCOLN, Neb. ? Nebraska public colleges would lose millions, have to defer maintaining their buildings and probably cut most student aid programs if voters approve a constitutional amendment Nov. 6 that would forbid the state government from increasing spending by more than 2 percent a year, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Martin Massengale warned. Police break up college parties across nation Police arrested 218 people ? mostly students - at two private parties off the Ball State University campus in Muncie, Ind., Sept. 16. Most of the charges involved illegal drinking. Police also had to break up student parties celebrating Middle Tennessee State University's football victory over Georgia Southern. The incidents were the most recent in a series of mass arrests of students at outdoor parties this season. Confrontations also have occurred at the universities of New Mexico, Southwestern Louisiana and Arizona, as well as at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Student 'Right to Know' bill nears passage WASHINGTON, D.C. ? The U.S. Senate passed its own version Sept 17 of a bill that would require campuses to make public how many of their students graduate, how many get jobs soon after graduation and how many are victimized by crime while at school. The Senate version, however, includes an amendment dealing with student loan defaults that is not in a version passed by the House earlier in the year. 1 What's the BIG DEj about Whaley1 Shuttlecock service aero Full fiirnitiirr. nark; Laundry facilitie Sleep/Study lofts Swimming pool Security OFFICE HOURS: _ _ . _ _ _ , M-F 9:30-5:30 S^A-iRCil 211 MAIN ST.

While the plan addresses USC's two-year campuses and the state's two medical and engineering schools, it is not expected to lead to a plan to eliminate or reduce the programs. Higher Education Commissioner Fred Sheheen said the two-year system will be studied annually. "We need to know what to do to get the most efficient use of the system," he said. The two medical schools, he said, are not training enough physicians to met the state's need. "We don't have too many physicians," he said. Duplication in the undergraduate engineering programs cannot be Theology c?, the fundamentalist aspects of almost every religion and culture. He added that fundamentalists believe "God works through a people" and that fundamentalism can be found in almost every culture, every country and every society. He also spoke of the different degrees of fundamentalism. "Some of the impulses that create fundamentalism are in all of Mid East G not in a position to take a strong foreign policy position due to their internal economic problems, nor do they want to deal with instability in the region." After the forum discussions, Nadia Naser, who moved from Palestine to Columbia one year ago and is presently seeking a master's degree in special education, said she believed "the Palestinian position is often misunderstood in America. "The United Way wo days a year, not just they take up the m * r A I s Mill? ss street ige s si. r & ASSOCIATES page 1 avoided, he said. "But we'll have those two (engineering) schools forever," he said. "Both schools together are not producing enough engineers. It is out of the question to dismantle anything that large." Former Clemson President Bill Atchley believes the state can better serve South Carolinians by reducing duplication in the higher education system. For example, he said the state should stop funding the USC School of Medicine and use that money to benefit the Medical University of South Carolina. "There is a much better opportunity for the state to really support at a less cost one good medical school and not try to fund two medical schools in a small populated state," said Atchley, president of the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. ntinued from page 1 us," he said. For example, he said, although the Amish do not allow automobiles on their roads or televisions in their homes, they do allow microwaves and food processors in their kitchens. Another example he cited was an experience he had at a fundamentalist church. "The pulpit looked like a cockpit," he said, ad Nitinued from page 1 We were against the invasion of Kuwait, but we are also against the U.S. intervention in Saudi Arabia. "I feel the problem should be resolved through an Arab resolution, hopefully peacefully," she said. "It is a question of egos, there needs to be direct negotiations between Iraq the U.S. and any other concerned country. It is important for everyone involved to save face." rks 365 , ' . ^ The United Way Is the day ii? The Way Of Love. ioney."

Responded Borkowski, "I'm well ary, as must be those who are if served by the (branch) campuses, v with this issue coming up again. In if the past 12 years, there has been nine studies" on USC's campuses, it he said. h Each concluded the South Carolina system is cost effective and d divorcing them from the Columbia s campus would limit access to expertise at the university, il "I don't think they (the camo puses) could be autonomous, said !S Borkowski, who was provost from ). 1978 to 1988.

He calls the medical school de bate "fruitless exercises. Both fa culties are good. Both are divers in what they do.

Atchley, Clemson's presiden from 1979 to 1985, said" Sout Carolina has too many state supported colleges. He questione whether the state can afford USC' eight-branch campus system.
