The College of Journalism and Mass
Communications recently had four students
selected to receive honors.
Three students were selected for Dow
Jones Newspaper Fund editing internships
this summer.
"It's unusual for a program to have
one student participating," said journalism
Professor Henry Price, who teaches
the copy editing class and recommends
students for the internship. "It's rare for
a program to have two. Three puts us in
an elite that you could count on the fingers
of one hand and probably have one
or two fingers leftover."
More than 800 students from across
the nation competed for the editing internships,
Price said, and 60 were selected.

Officials at Pi Kappa Phi's national
headquarters were frustrated: The message
about AIDS just wasn't getting
through to young college men and
women who were putting their lives at
risk by having unprotected sex.
so tne rraternity decided to do something
to illustrate the danger in a more
graphic and humorous method, and the
result is an eye-catching wall poster designed
to startle students into action.
Subtle it ain't.
The 22-inch-by-28-inch color poster,
, taken from an ancient Indian painting
and first published in 1883 in the Kama
Sutra of Vatsyavana, shows an amorous
couple locked in a rather athletic sexual
position. A strategically placed warning
box says, "If you think this looks dangerous,
try doing it without a condom."
, Smaller print reads "No sexual act is
more death-defying than sex without
protection. Don't put yourself in that position."
Copies of the posters were mailed to
the fraternity's 140 chapters throughout
the nation. <

Trussell and Michelle Schohn will spend
10 weeks working at a newspaper copy
desk.
Additionally, the Direct Marketing Educational
Foundation selected advertising
senior Michelle Klingman as one of
32 U.S. students to attend the Direct
Marketing Collegiate Institute from Feb.
5-9 in Denver.
"I'm excited about being able to go,"
Klingman said. "I'm hoping to be able to
meet students from other universities
and network a little with them.
"You have to make the best of an opportunity
like this. Hopefully, if everything
goes well, the institution will even
help me get a job."
During the institute, leading experts
in the field of direct marketing will teach
sessions on direct marketing media, lists
and database marketing, direct marketing
applications and resume/career information.

cer of the national fraternity, said Pi Kappa
Phi officials knew they would catch
some heat for the poster, which he
frankly admitted "borders on pornography,"
but he said the importance of the
message ultimately outweighed questions
of taste.
"We had to get someone's attention,"

though I knew we would be on the edge
of criticism."
In a letter that accompanied the
posters, Owen wrote: "This is a poster
which will undoubtedly be controversial.
It is our sincere hope that it gets your attention.
If it does not... then it has been
for naught."
The letter further points out that "Sex
was never safe, and it is less safe now
than it has ever been. Sexual lovemaking
between humans is not, and cannot
be, the thoughdess instinctual coupling
of animals; it is not safe."
Before mailing the posters, many different
people, including feminist groups,
were consulted about its graphic message,
Owen said. About eight out of
every 10 people agreed with the decision
to distribute it.
