Bo?us ads disruvt 5G elections
by Billy O’Keefe
College Press Exchange
Five classified ads offering free goods
ran in the March 31 edition of the Uni
versity of Florida’s student newspaper,
the Alligator, and had phones ringing off
the hooks.
That’s not too unusual, except that
the ads, placed anonymously, were fake,
I and the numbers — two per ad, 10 in all
— were those of Student Government
I
party members and candidates, none of
whom were giving away any free puppies.
The ads, which ran on the candidates’
election day, offered, among other things,
furniture, Rottweiler puppies and Persian
kittens, all for free. The outpouring of calls
made it hard for candidates to keep their
phones and answering machines plugged
in, let alone use them to communicate
with fellow party members.
Citadel
from page 1
Shadow,” describes the sometimes bru
tal hazing — including beatings and cig
arette bums — that has occurred at the
157-year-old institution. Its author,
Catherine S. Manegold, covered the
Faulkner case for The New York Times.
A few women currently at The
Citadel, who didn’t want to be identi
fied, said they’ve fell pressured to un
dergo lesser hazing, such as hanging
from their arms until they drop to the
ground. More said they’ve been singled
out for extra marching, and that re
sentful male cadets have made lewd
comments.
The women say they face a
dilemma when such hazing or harass
ment does occur. If they report it, they
say, they might be ostracized by fellow
cadets or get a fellow student kicked
out under the school’s tough “zero tol
erance” policies.
Faulkner, who was graduated from
Anderson College in her home slate,
now teaches high school in Greenville.
She didn’t respond to calls from the
Chicago Tribune seeking comment.
Citadel sophomore Sha Peterson
looks at Faulkner differently now than
she did when she was a 15-year-old back
in Chicago, watching the evening news.
At the time, Peterson thought
Faulkner was stirring up trouble for no
good reason.
With nearly two years at The
Citadel under her belt, Peterson said
she now appreciates what Faulkner did.
Despite her self-confidence, de
spite the gold stan of achievement on
her collar and the promise of a Citadel
diploma in 2002, Peterson doubts that
she could have done the same. Even
though Faulkner didn’t last long at the
military college, Peterson said, she was
the one who got women admitted, who
tried to go it alone.
