See THEATRE page 5 Universities use neutral language :rom College Press Services Actor Edward Asner, known off-screen as an ardent supporter of liberal causes, committed a liberal sin during a mid-October speech at Rix>n College in Wisconsin. He defied, albeit inadvertently, the sporadic movement to make campuses nationwide "gender neutral." So far the effort has gotten some schools to begin calling freshmen "first-year students," and others to rewrite their alma mater ? a Greek phrase that literally means "our mother" ? songs to strip them of words that make women feel excluded. Yet during an Oct 17 speech about censorship, Asner continually used male pronouns. When a student in the audience questioned Asner about it, the actor declared all women should get behind the drive for gender neutral language if it isn't to fail just as the Equal Rights Amendment did. Yet another question from a student about Asner's use of language and his influence as a public speaker brought an apology. "I have been duly chastised and I will try ? no I will do ? a better job with gender neutral language," he said receiving a loud applause. A growing number of schools are trying, too. They're replacing the word "freshmen" with the longer but more descriptive phrase of "first year student. "It's a small tip of a larger issue," said Thomas Goldstein, executive director of the American Association of University Students, which represents 287 institutions around the country and is headquartered at the University of Pennsylvania campus. Some campuses already have abandoned the term in one way or another, including Trinity University in Texas and Miami University of Ohio. Student newspapers at some campuses, including Harvard and DePauw universities, also have stopped using the word.
