Family values has always been an issue, but because vi Liic ii.jAJ.caac u.1 tccu-agc pi cgilaiiuco, j u v cimc vj uuc ^ and other issues affecting people today, the concerns for family values and morals have risen. The rise of single-parent families and families where both parents work full time is caused by a changing economy. "Changes in society have shaken families up," Dill said. During her lecture, Dill discussed the issues concerning single-parent families and said they were created as a response to the economy rather than as a result of lower morals in today's society. When people think of family values, a majority think of the 1950s. Watching shows, such as "Leave it to Beaver," "Father Knows Best" and the "Ozzie and % Harriet Show," have given viewers the impression of Dr. Bonnie Thorton Dill, far right, spoke last night in the Gambrell Hail Auditorium on issues of gendor, race and family val. ues.

Compared to shows, such as "Grace under Fire" and "Roseanne," seen today; the shows of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s portrayed ideal families. Television shows of those times presented "model" families, that is prominent, white families, Today, television shows more diversified families and take on more issues, Dill said. Other issues Dill discussed concerned women, especially African-American and Hispanic women. "Single mothers today have been racialized," she said. She also talked about the assault on single mothers and how they were stereotyped. Dill also discussed the relationship between feminism and the family unit, and that a woman's traditional role in society has changed over the years. The lecture ended with questions from the audience. One of the questions asked was, "Why isn't there a feminist political party?" Dill said, "I think there have been some efforts." She also said because feminism has many different views, one political party would be difficult for feminists with different points of view. A reception was held after the lecture. 0t Jr*' 111 ' "j?

Bryan Menees continues to strive for what he sees as improvement within USC's library system. REGINNA GREEN Staff Writer At the senate meeting three weeks ago, sen. Bryan Menees introduced legislation that would keep South Caroliniana and Thomas Cooper libraries open 24 hours duAigthe week preceding final-exam week. At the senate meeting Wednesday evening, sen. Menees informed the student senators of an incident involving the South Caroliniana library. According to Menees, his request for information from a book held in the library was rejected by a member of the South Caroliniana staff because of time UJU&LI (Ullld. The South Caroliniana library closes at 5 p.m. on weekdays; Menees asked for a particular book at about 4:45 p.m. and was told his request could not be fulfilled because the library was closing. This attitude reflects the ideas the university administration has about the students, according to Menees. "Sometimes the administration forgets that we're the blood of the university," Menees said. "Sometimes they forget we are the university." In other business, sen. Matthew Richardson announced the undertaking of a campus beautification project: an effort to improve the appearance of the tunnel linking the Law School to the Coliseum. According to Richardson, chair of the senate sub-committee for the tunnel project, the committee has mailed information to student organizations regarding possible participation in the tunnel, as well as to the art department to solicit ideas for decorating the tunnel. SG treasurer Peter Siachos agreed to fund the project with funds from the Special Project Fund, according to Richardson. In addition, USC Law School thirdyear student Smokey Brown was * approved and installed as a senator. William Blitch, a second-year law student, was also approved and installed as Attorney General. i teaching ling is one of the great ohn D'Arcy, Bish op of Ft. Worth, TX. academics. They said they were in the pursuit of truth and should be able to say whatever they wanted to say and teach whatever they wanted to teach.. If you tried to stick to the traditional mission, suddenly you were called an extremist... Universities saw this and had to be confronted with it." He said the University of Dallas, which is 40 years old, would have no trouble dealing with the new document. About the only change it will prompt there is a new paragraph in its constitution spelling out the institution's mission to be in line with the traditions and teachings of the church. Bishop Grahmann, who is the grand chancellor of the University of Dallas, said professors there are not permitted to teach, for instance, that abortion, birth control and married priests are acceptable or that Jesus didn't physically rise from the dead. But professors may privately hold such views and may tell students that some theologians debate these points, even though the church does not. Grahmann said he would intervene if someone violated the rules "only rarely." \
