WORCESTER, Mass. ? Students
who pursue four-year degrees at Clark
University will be eligible for a fifth
year of free tuition to complete a master's
degree under a new program designed
to combat the rising cost of ed
ucation.
, Essentially, the program allows eli;
gible students who maintain grade
point averages of 3.25 or higher to receive
a master's in business administration,
health administration or othc
er fields for the price of a bachelor's
degree.
Clark Provost Roger Kasperson said
there are three advantages for students
who opt for the five-year, combined
degree programs.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. ? A group
calling itself "Pissed Off Wimmin"
claimed responsibility for destroying
10,000 pro-life newspaper inserts that
were supposed to be distributed April
5 by the Miami Hurricane.
However, the student newspaper
at the University of Miami has vowed
to deliver reprinted advertising supplements
as scheduled.
"The bottom line is that we're not
going to let this get in the way of get
ting information out there," said Julio
Fernandez, the Hurricane's business
manager.
Fernandez said staff intended to
distribute the newspapers the morning
of April 5 rather than the night before
to prevent anyone from confiscating
or destroying issues at distribution
points.
A groi\p ^at identified itself as
"Pissed Off Wimmin," or P.O.W., faxed
a press release to the newspaper
March 28, claiming responsibility for
trashing the supplements. Police believe
the inserts from Human Life of
Minnesota Inc., a pro-life organization,
were destroyed between 2:30
a.m. and 5 a.m. March 28.
The 12-page tabloids were strewn
across the floor of a stairwell in the
Whitten University Center, and red
paint was poured on them. Paint also
was poured into boxes of supplements.
Boxes containing another supplement,
U: The National College
Magazine, were not touched.
A flier glued to the wall depicted a
coat hanger and the words, "The alternative
to legal abortion," with

he said. "Second, while they are doing
that, they can accelerate their
studies through well-designed and
strong academic programs. Third,
they can make themselves more competitive
in the job market without incurring
substantially more debt."
Clark has offered the accelerated
five-year degree programs for more
than 20 years. Students who opt for
the programs are accepted into the
master's oroerams in their junior
years, begin meeting requirements in
their senior years and fulfill the requirements
in the fifth year.
Combined bachelor's and master's
programs are available in biology,
chemistry, education, environment,
technology and society, international

"P.O.W. has stopped inaccurate anti-choice
propaganda from being distributed
to students by the school
newspaper, The Hurricane," the fixed
release said. "We will not allow any
person or any group to usurp or restria
our right to abortion. Instead we
will unmask the 'right to life' hate
mongers and reveal their agenda of
misogyny. Tabloids such as this are

One odd aspect was that the header
on the faxed press release indicated
it either had been sent from a prolife
group's Miami office or from a facsimile
machine that had been
reprogrammed to make it appear that
the release had come from Respect
Life of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese
of Miami.

Joan Crown, associate director of
Respect Life, said P.O.W. had given
Respect Life's telephone number in
another incident in which the group
claimed responsibility for spray-painting
a coat hanger and the form of a
dying woman's body on the sidewalk
outside the Miami City Hall.
Officials could not immediately explain
how the vandals knew where
the supplements were stored in the

The waiving of the fifth-year tuition,
believed to be the first program of its
kind in the nation, recognizes student
and parent concerns about tne escalating
costs of a bachelor's degree. It
also recognizes that a bachelor's
doesn't necessarily ensure professional
career opportunities anymore,
the university said in a news release.
The cost savings are substantial,
particularly for expensive programs
such as MBA degrees. MBA students
at Clark can expect to save about
$22,000 in tuition, room and board
for the sixth year they won't need,
plus the $17,500 in tuition that the
university will waive for the fifth year.

ficked except by those working in the
center.
Human Life of Minnesota has been
targeting college newspapers with the
advertising supplements for the past
few years, and the inserts have caused
controversy on other campuses. The
Miami incident appears to have been
the first time the inserts were destroyed
prior to publication.
"This has never happened before,"
said Virginia Colonel, president of the
Broward County Right to life Foundation.
The pre-printed supplements are
distributed inside newspapers for a
fee. Ten pages of the inserts, which
feature photos of developing fetuses
and first-person accounts about why
young women should not have abortions,
are provided by the Minnesota
group, while local pro-life groups include
customized local information
on the other two pages.
Fernandez said the cost of running
the supplement was $600. However, I?
he said it appeared the Hurricane
would have to pay at least $300 of the 121
$2,000 it would take to reprint and
ship new supplements to replace the
ruined ones. i
Lynette Malinger, editor of the
newspaper, said she thought the issue

"This is censorship," she said. "I
don't care if it's Rush Limbaugh propaganda
or a letter from People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The
