Citadel
cadets try
short cuts

COLLEGE PRESS EXCHANGE
CHARLESTON, S.C.-Three female
Citadel cadets decided their short
regulation hairdos weren't short enough
to blend in with the first-year male cadets,
whose shaved heads give them the
nickname "knobs."
So they took matters?and a pair of
scissors?into their own hands.
The female cadets, among the first
four in the military college's first-ever
co-ed class, emerged from their barracks
Nov. 7 with new hairdos resembling
a man's flattop. But the new look did
not go over well with Citadel
administrators, who expect students to
adhere to uniforms, codes of dress and
appearance.
"Obviously, you can't have a cadet
standing in front of the mirror, designing
[her] own haircut," said Judith Fluck,
deputy director of public affairs at the
Citadel. w
The cadets?Petra Lovetinska, Jeanie
Mentavlos and Kim Messer?will likely
be confined to campus or given demerits
The Carolina-Clemson Blood Battle
will kick off Nov. 18 at 12 p.m. in the w;
Russell House Ballroom. The bkxxl drive in
will continue through Nov. 21.
The avoid the long wait to donate tin
blood, students and faculty may sign up Re
for donation times. Sign-up sheets are Re

as punishment for breaking the rules.
The fourth female cadet, Nancy Mace,
did not participate in the make-over
because she is a Citadel band member
and wears a different uniform, Fluck
said.
Apparently, the women chose the
extreme haircuts as a way to show they
are as committed as the male cadets.
This is the first year of coeducation
for the Citadel. The state-supported
college accepted women into its corps
after the Supreme Court ruled in June
that the all-male policy at Virginia
Military Institute was unconstitutional.
Administrators spent a great deal of
time on the "painstaking" task of choosing
a suitable haircut for women, which was
to be short, but not as short as the men's,
Fluck said.
The Citadel's regulation cut for women
is off the shoulders, off the collar and
has ears showing.
The three cadets were sent back to
the Citadel barber, who "tried to repair
the damage," Fluck said.
VMI announced in September that
its first female cadets next year will sport
shaved heads like the men. That has
angered women's advocates and civilrights
groups, who contend shaving a
woman's head is a form of humiliation.
Although the Citadel women have
made up their own minds concerning
their hairstyle, that doesn't mean the
college is going to change its rules.
"That would be difficult to presume,"
Fluck said.

The Distilled Spirits Counsel o

In deciding to lift the ban, th<

Prior to the industry's decisioi
to repeal the ban, one company

broken the ban. Earlier this year

the station has a policy of reviewing
the impact of new advertising
campaigns before airing them. He
said the station would need to look
at the long term impact on young
people and the world before agreeing
to run hard liquor advertisement.
Experts and people working in
the advertising industry say there
are several broad issues that will
surface as a result of the industry's
decision lift the ban. One of the
issues is expected to be the influence
that running hard liquor
advertisements on television and
radio will have on young children.
Wardrip expects there to be a lot
of consumer outrage initially. He
said the outrage will come from
consumer activist groups. The outrage
is expected to be because of the fact
there hasn't been hard liquor
advertising in people's living rooms
for several years.
However, Wardrip said he's
"amused" that people are so upset
at the prospect of hard liquor ads on
television, when many of today's
programs deal with issues that are
just as controversial, if not more so.

"If you started examining careers

Hawkins, director of cooperative education
and career services at Drexel
University in Philadelphia.
"We advise our juniors to compile
names of companies, positions and
contacts, and then, when their senior
year rolls around, they're ready to roll."
Drexel has some 5,000 students and
almost all of them are in a cooperative
education program.
"We have a five-year cooperative ed
program, and it pays off in jobs,"
Hawkins said.
"By the time our students graduate,
they have real work experience to put
on their resumes. Usually, about 30
percent of them are hired by their former
co-op employers. And, of last June's
graduating class of 1,000, all have jobs."

"I'm interested in product and

Over the years, Triesenberg has
