said she thought Lee's speech focused
too much on his own life.
"I didn't like the topics he covered,"
^ she said. "I mean, all he did was talk
about himself. It was all in the pron

Media arts sophomore Logan Cooper

Student organizations will be sell- ti

p.m. today and Thursday to raise mon- ci
ey for Hopelights. d
S.H.A.R.E. (Sexual Health Aware- p
ness and Rape Educators) and Sexu- K
al Assault Services is sponsoring the tl
fund-raiser. w
"Hopelights is a campus awareness
and fund-raising campaign de- n
signed to help support survivors of sex- G
ual assault," said Rosalie Carpenter, V
sexual assault graduate assistant, tl
Students can get white ribbons, ti
for a donation of $1 each, to show sup- &
port for survivors of sexual assault. C
The color white was chosen to sym- n
bolize hope and courage. Students o:
should plan to wear the ribbon during s<
the week.

However, Townes isn't sure he
agrees with the University's policy
towards athletes. "They should have
to be placed on the same ... lists with
the rest of us," he said.
Philosophy junior Dan Edge also
agrees with the credit hours factor.
"The freshmen have a broader range
of classes they can take," he said.
Neither Edge nor Townes believes
the students necessarily need to
know the registration policy, but
Townes believes it might provide some
students with incentive.
"If you release the information,
you're only going to be appealing to a
small amount of people at best," he
said.
Edge doesn't believe the university
should have to release the information,
"because the people who set it
up know more about running a uni
versity than the students do."
Bayer noted that, in a school with
15,153 undergraduates, there will be
some complaints.
He said there is no attempt to hide
anything from the students by not releasing
the policy.
"It's never been out there," he said.
"If a student has a problem... they can
call our office."
