cepts also found that 63 percent believed the current standoff eventually
will turn into a shooting war.
Meanwhile, demonstrations against the buildup unfolded at the universities
of Akron and Washington, as well as Cornell and Purdue universities,
among other campuses, in recent weeks.
But students at the College of Wooster in Ohio and Ball State University
in Indiana are organizing special school programs for service
people's children and an effort to send videotaped holiday messages to
soldiers.
Military homosexual ban leads to protest
Calling the military's ban on homosexuals unfair, student governments
at Indiana University and the State University of New York at
Stony Brook separately passed resolutions that effectively would ban
Reserve Officer Training Corps units at their schools.
Indiana's Student Association asked administrators to abolish IU's
ROTC program by 1995 if the U.S. military doesn't change its policy
of expelling homosexuals. Stony Brook's resolution, if adopted by
campus president John Marburger, would go into effect immediately.
Revised SAT to include essays, get new name

college entrance exam much maligned in recent years as an unfair
measure of women and minorities' school skills, will be revised to in_i

Board, which owns the SAT exam.
Students will start taking the new test, renamed the Scholastic Assessment
Test, in 1994, Stewart announced Nov. 1.
But critics said the increased emphasis on reading skills would probably
force verbal scores to drop, and that it might prove unfair to students
born outside of the United States.
The SAT "certainly never has been proven to be scientific," said
Neel Edwards of Horizons Education Programs, Inc., a company that
helps schools train students to take the SAT. "It's more of a disqualification
test than anything else."
Ladies' Nights at bars unfair, students claim
WASHINGTON, D. C. ? Campus bars that offer women free or discounted
drinks discriminate against men and promote images of females
as sexually promiscuous, helpless people in need of special benefits,
a team of three female George Washington University law students
charged.
Kelly Farrell, Sony a Moody and Amanda Gibson filed a formal
complaint Oct 29 charging 15 local bars with violating the District of
Columbia's Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the
basis of race and gender.
They filed the complaint as part of Prof. John Banzah's legal activism
class, which has previously filed legal complaints against all-male
clubs and even allegedly discriminatory dry cleaners.
