UCOSA meets to discuss fee increase bill by Michael Robertson Staff Writer Approximately 65 senators from various UCO student organizations met Nov. 29 in the Robert S. Kerr Room in the Nigh University Center to discuss a bill that, if passed, would increase student fees 18 cents per credit hour. If implemented, the bill would generate money to fund independent research projects by undergraduates. After about an hour and a half of discussion and debate, the Senate voted to put the resolution on hold until the first UCOSA Senate meeting of the spring 2005 semester. The purpose of the senate meeting was primarily to decide whether the bill goes to a vote of the student body, said Tandy Moore, Human Resources Society senator. If passed by the student body, the bill would have to be approved by the university president and the Oklahoma State Board of Regents before it could be implemented. It is unlikely that the bill will ever come to a student vote. The author, UCO student David McWhorter, said he graduates this month, making it unlikely that the proposal will have much support next semester. "It kind of stinks," McWhorter said. Public Relations Student Society of America Senator Jason Hines said historically, issues that have gone to a student vote usually pass.

Residence Hall Association Senator John Nazari confirmed this, and said the UCOSA leadership knew that, and deliberately stalled the bill to prevent a student vote. "They knew that if it didn't get settled in this meeting it wouldn't pass because (the author) is graduating," Nazari said. "It was their way of killing the bill without actually coming out and killing it. I think the overall reason they wanted to kill it was they didn't want to charge students more fees," Nazari said. While Nazari had no official involvement with the bill, he said he had a hand in it's planning. "I've talked to McWhorter about this bill since summer, so I was sort of like a consultant," Nazari said. During the debate portion of a meeting, a certain amount of time is apportioned to arguers both for and against the bill in question. Senators volunteer to argue for each side. In this particular meeting, Senators who were against the proposal volunteered to speak for it, and they waived their speaking time. When speaking time is waived, it automatically goes to the next speaker for the other side. As a result, the time they were allotted to speak on behalf of the bill was given to arguments against it. Dallas Strimple, president pro tempore, said this is a

"Breathe," David Thummel's copper and steel sculpture, is unveiled Dec. 8 at Evans Field.

ADP sculpture unveiled by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer An unveiling ceremony for David Thummel's sculpture "Breathe" took place at 11 a.m. Dec. 8 between Y Chapel of Song and Evans Hall. Thummel's sculpture won the first "Outdoor Sculpture

Competition," which was sponsored by the College of Arts, Media & Design's Dean's Office and the American Democracy Project. A reception took place in the Evans Hall Great Room prior to the unveiling ceremony. "David's piece asks us to

breathe deep, choose freedom and choose service," said Don Betz, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. The sculpture stands around 13 feet tall, is made of copper and steel, and is located in a garden near the Y Chapel of Song and Evans Field.

National organization seeks used textbooks ■ Students can donate their used textbooks to "Books for Africa" if they have been published since 1999. by Lauren Pulsinelli . Senior Staff Writer Textbooks collecting dust on a shelf or thrown in the trash because they can't be bought back at the bookstore are being sought after by Better World Books. A book drive outside the Nigh University Center bookstore will be hosted by BWB Dec. 13 through 17. The books will be donated to "Books for Africa," a non-profit organization committed to ending the book famine in Africa. "There is obviously a pretty large need or they wouldn't keep shipping 80 percent of the books that are donated," said Jimmy Witcosky, a junior public relations major. Witcosky has volunteered to

help with the book drive for the past three semesters. In that time Witcosky said two thousand books have been collected from campus. "This time we are hoping to get a thousand books," he said. BWB organizes book drives at colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. "A large number of the same books are needed for college classes or else they can't be used," Witcosky said. "It's easier to do that because the organization is operated all over the country." This year BWB is collecting books from 1999 or newer. "Last year two million books were sent to Africa," Witcosky said. The books not able to be used are sold for cash donations ,generated by BWB online book sales.

The First Amendment allows Americans to govern a nation and express free thought in an open marketplace of ideas. Each year universities all over the country try to take these rights away from their campus newspapers through censorship, violation of the Open Records Act, intimidation and threats to take funding away from the newspapers. When cases have gone to court, state and federal courts have repeatedly sided with university papers. OSU's campus newspaper, The Daily 0 'Collegian, dealt with these problems about a month ago. The university made it almost impossible for the paper to get information for a story. "I asked for the database of GPA distributions without student names," said Sean Hill, senior editor at the 0 'Collegian. "They first said it wasn't easily accessible then they forwarded me to another office." Once school administrators compile the information, they refused to give it to Hill in electronic format. Hill said they told him that it wasn't their policy. Instead, they handed him 400 pages of data, an impossible amount of information to sift through. Hill is currently trying to make contact with OSU's attorney, saying that the school is in violation of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. Arizona State University's student-run newspaper, State Press, has also had to deal with a similar problem. The paper published a

About 270 Edmond children participated in the 14th annual President's Club party Dec. 8. The party, which matches each child with two UCO sponsors, allows for each child to receive a new hat, mittens, gloves and under-

wear, courtesy of the "Cozy Kids" project, said Beverly Prosser, administrative assistant for Student Development. This is the second year for "Cozy Kids," she said. "What happens is when two people sponsor a child, they buy them a gift, an article of clothing and a stocking full of candy," Prosser said. "The President's Club is actually

who plans, executes and is in charge of the party." She said the organization has been working on this event since August. "UCO has just been phenomenal in donating all of this stuff because every child will get all of those things," Prosser said.

■ Donations are still needed for the "Orphans in the Ukraine" collection drive. Timber Massey, Ukraine Peace Corp volunteer and UCO graduate, will distribute the clothing and toys to children 3 to 8 years of age. The drop-off location is the Vista office, Rm. 107 of the Communications Building. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 17.

Have a safe and long holiday break, but remember to have fun eginning on Dec. 18, students will have 23 full days to do what they wish, without the worry about having to go to class. A lot of students will still have jobs to worry about over the break, but they should remember that this is a time of

togetherness and a time for fun. That means 23 full nights not having to worry about waking up early the next morning for class. k also means 23 full nights and days to get yourself into trouble. Students should remember to stay

responsible during the break, while at the same time they should have fun. Take the time to spend with family and friends. If the holidays aren't your thing, at least take the time to appreci-, ate being with friends and family.

THE BODY POLITICK

A Clinton by any other name wouldn't be the same Men run the field in most political matters, and historically this boys club doesn't seem very open to female invasion. But times are changing, and there are women waiting in the wings to take the biggest office in the world. I think we are about ready for a woman to hold the office of the President. And make no mistake; Hillary Clinton is going to make a go at it. Hillary has everything going for her. She is intelligent, articulate, concise and knows how to play the game. But Hillary has one huge disadvantage

CAMPUS QUOTES

JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST - her husband. Bill Clinton is a favorite with democrats everywhere. He can do no wrong in the minds of many Americans, and any time political mat-

ters come to a discussion, someone in the room fondly remembers good ol' Bill. During the presidential primaries, Bill Clinton was always examined for clues to democratic strategy. Who was Bill talking to? Bill said what to whom? The lore surrounding Bill Clinton easily rivals Alan Greenspan and Rasputin. So obviously Hillary is going to have the endorsement of her husband, and there will be many voters who will put a check-mark next to anything that says Clinton. However Hillary has one

major flaw: Bill Clinton is a charmer, and Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton has a style and finesse that no one can match, especially his wife. Hillary will never be able to escape comparison to her husband, because so much of her platform will be built on the democratic base of people who love Bill. And if she isn't careful, it could spell disaster for her presidential run. We need a woman in the Oval Office, because it is time. We need change, and I am a huge proponent of

stirring the anthill just for the sake of change. Women in politics represent progressive movement forward, and we could use some movement in high offices everywhere. Hillary has something to prove. And you can hear it in the way she speaks. She is representing Americans, democrats and women worldwide. And I will be the first to admit that having a Bill Clintonesque woman running things is pretty appealing. However, at this point I think all Hillary and Bill have in common is a last name.

Disgruntled troops complain to Rumsfeld CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait — Disgrunted U.S. soldiers complained to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Wednesday about the lack of armor for their vehicles and long deployments, drawing a blunt retort from the Pentagon chief. "You go to war with the Army you have," he said in a rare public, airing of rank-and-file concerns among the troops.

Israel, Palestinians reach election plan JERUSALEM — Israel and the Palestinians have agreed on the logistics of the upcoming election to replace Yasser Arafat, a senior Palestinian official said Wednesday, but he denied reports that the two sides had worked out a broader deal to end their decades-old conflict. The Palestinians had demanded that Israel cease military operations and withdraw from Palestinian cities and towns to allow candidates to campaign for the Jan. 9 presidential elections to replace Arafat, who died last month.

Ukraine's parliament OKs electoral reforms KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's parliament adopted electoral and constitutional changes Wednesday in a compromise intended to defuse the nation's political crisis — prompting opposition leaders to say they would lift a two-week blockade of government buildings. The vote came as a surprise after days of political maneuvering and massive street protests following the disputed Nov. 21 presidential runoff election. It suggested that opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko's camp had determined that the prolonged unrest could ultimately weaken the country and his own position ahead of a Dec. 26 rerun of that vote.

Parents plan to challenge drug suspension MUSTANG, Okla. — Nancy Smith and her fiance, Maxi Barber filed their appeal Monday with the Mustang school district. Chloe Smith, 14, who uses hormones to treat polycystic ovarian disease, was kicked out of school Friday when drug dogs "hit" on her locker. Administrators found the prescription hormones in her purse and enforced the school's zerotolerance drug policy, mother Nancy Smith said. Smith says she has asked for assistance from the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of their daughter. "I don't think it's fair for her or any other student to be treated like this," Nancy Smith said. "She's being treated like a drug addict when she has a medical condition she's going to have for the rest of her life."

common tactic in politics. "It allows people who have a lot to say more time," Strimple said. "It's a trick they use in the state Legislature all the time." In a copy of the bill obtained from the UCOSA office, McWhorter stated that UCO students are "quite often at a disadvantage when entering the highly competitive atmosphere of graduate schools, due mostly to the fact that undergraduate research and it's funding is lacking campus-wide." McWhorter contends that by creating their own independent research projects, students will gain an edge in the job market through establishing mentoring relationships with professors and creating a "solid body of work" to supplement résumés. He said that skills obtained through independent study are difficult to obtain for undergraduate students. "We've asked time after time after time... and now we demand more research funds," McWhorter said to the assembly. Dr. John Barthell, associate professor of biology, spoke on behalf of the proposed bill, giving an overview of what the bill would accomplish and answering the senator's questions about it.

Barthell said that this sort of bill is a trend at other universities and represents an attempt to encourage student/mentor relationships in the UCO undergraduate colleges. Barthell described the process as "practice-oriented education." "Not only do you get your liberal arts education, you get to see what the profession is really like," Barthell said. In response to questions about whom the research will benefit, Barthell said that it primarily benefits the student doing the research, but it benefits other students who are doing similar projects, because completed research would be available to everyone, allowing them to build on each other's work. When asked if the bill will set a precedent for other colleges to levy their own research fees on students, Barthell dismissed the notion, saying, "As I read this bill, the precedent it sets is that the money comes from students and is distributed back to the students by students." McWhorter said students would pick their own subjects to research, find an appropriate faculty member to mentor, then make a budget and apply for the funds. The proposal initially stipulated a

fee of 75 cents to every $1 per credit hour but was changed to 18 cents by the UCOSA Rules Committee, which is made up of Senate leadership. In the plan outlined in the bill, the research funds would be distributed by an "Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities Team," advised by the Jackson College of Graduate Studies and Research. The maximum amount a student could request would be $1,700. At 18 cents per credit hour, it is estimated that the fee would generate only enough money to fund fifteen projects, likely three from each college on campus. The majority of senators who argued against the bill criticized this point. However, McWhorter and Barthell said it is unlikely that all of the project applications would require the maximum amount, allowing funding for a greater number of projects. Strimple said he is not sure if they will definitely bring the bill before the UCOSA Senate next semester or not. "If we do go over it again, I'll probably put it right into debate again so people will remember what it was about," Strimple said. The UCOSA Senate has its first meeting of the spring semester on Jan. 10.

Students give back to area with 100 hours of service by UCO News Bureau Twenty-five UCO students enrolled in an Introduction to Community Health class have volunteered about 100 hours in various Edmond community events this fall, all while learning various aspects of health and wellbeing, and career options. Also during the spring semester, Dr. Diane Rudebock, assistant professor of kinesiology and health studies, said the class allows students to learn about various aspects of general health and the wellbeing of the community as a whole. "As members of the class, students participate as volunteers in a variety of community events, which also helps them give back to the community in which they are a part," Rudebock said. "Students in the class have the opportunity to seek out special events that raise money for health awareness or to locate and serve organizations that operate primarily with volunteers." Students volunteered about four hours each, totaling 100 hours, this semester for such events as the AIDS Walk, Diabetes Walk, Crop Walk and an Alzheimer's Walk. Eight students chose to donate blood as part of the class requirement to give back to the community, and some helped with Cozy Kids and the Harvest Food Drive.

Senior art students to display, sell works of art in final show by Michael Robertson Staff Writer A reception for the UCO senior art display "Exhibition 2004: The Works of 20 Emerging Artists," will be Dec. 10 from 8 to 11 p.m. at Tap Architecture in downtown Oklahoma City.

WHO: Seniors from the Department of Art WHAT: "Exhibition 2004: The Works of 20 Emerging Artists" WHEN: 8 to 11 p.m. Dec. 10 WHERE: Tap Architecture, Oklahoma City WHY: To exhibit the student works of 20 graduating seniors

The student works will

include paintings, ceramics, jewelry, photography and sculpture, art senior Christopher Maupin said. The display will satisfy a requirement for the Senior Exhibition class. Art Department chairman Joe Daun and instructor Barbara Broadwell teach the exhibit class, but leave most of the exhibit's preparatory work to the students. "Really all the students have put it together," Maupin said. The show has been held previously in the UCO Max Chambers Library at the end of each semester. Maupin and fellow exhibitor Kelsey Longanacre said they got the idea to approach the owners of TAP Architecture after seeing an art show held there in October. They also hoped to move the show off campus. Broadwell described the student's work as a "nice array of

different kinds of work." She also said most of the student artwork would be for sale. "The students will set their own prices," Broadwell said. "They keep 70 percent and pay a 30 percent commission to the school." "hi the past they've been for sale but no one really bought them," Longanacre said. "In the library, only students and faculty saw them." The art seniors hope to bring in a larger crowd by spreading the word through invitations, which Longanacre said have been "widely distributed." "From the feedback I'm getting, it's going to be a good turnout," she said. The artist reception is free and will be at Tap Architecture at 415 North Broadway Ave. in Oklahoma City on Dec. 10 from 8 to 11 p.m. The exhibit will stay up over the weekend from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Dec. 11 and 12.

Other activities students chose were the Safe Kids Coalition to properly install children's car seats, and working with the Salvation Army, Whiz Kids and Free to Live. Class members also volunteered to work at the Festival of Hope in the UCO Wellness Center earlier this year, and volunteered their time with UCO's International Festival, with clean up at the university, and they participated in UCO's Volunteer Day. Students in Rudebock's class conducted neighborhood surveys to identify the strengths and weaknesses of local neighborhoods to see why they exist and identified potential solutions for weaknesses. "The students' responses were very positive," Rudebock said. "And many students spent twice the amount of time at their agency of choice than was required. "It's fun to see the excitement experienced by the students when they realize what it is like to give back something to their community and to know that they can make a difference. Community organizations working toward improving health and health awareness that would be interested in student volunteers from Rudebock's Introduction to Community Health class should contact Rudebock at 9745216.

Organization seeks performers for "The Vagina Monologues" Submitted Report

New breast cancer drug shows better results at preventing return by Marilynn Marchione The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — A newer drug clearly outperforms tamoxifen at preventing breast cancer from returning and should become the first-choice treatment for most women who have had the disease, doctors are reporting. The drug, Arimidex, might be able to prevent 70 percent to 80 percent .of the most common type of tumors that occur in women after menopause, compared with the 50 percent that tamoxifen is credited with warding off, their research suggests. Women who took Arimidex for five years after they were treated for early-stage breast cancer were less likely to have cancer recur, develop in the other breast, or spread throughout their bodies than women who took tamoxifen. "Arimidex is a more effective treatment. This is a better drug," said Dr. Aman Buzdar, a

specialist at the University of Texas' M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. He headed the U.S. portion of the study, which involved nearly 2,000 American women and an additional 7,300 from 20 other countries. It was funded by Arimidex's maker, AstraZeneca PLC. Results were reported Wednesday at a meeting in Texas of breast cancer experts and were published online by the British medical journal The Lancet. Other research presented Wednesday shows that switching to Arimidex or a similar drug, Pfizer Inc.'s Aromasin, after two years of tamoxifen is better than sticking with tamoxifen for the standard five years. None of the studies change tamoxifen's status as the drug of choice for women who get breast cancer before menopause, because the newer drugs aren't thought to be effective then. Tamoxifen revolutionized breast cancer treatment when it

came into use some three decades ago. It blunts the effects of estrogen, a hormone that promotes the growth of about three-fourths of the tumors that occur in postmenopausal women. Arimidex, known generically as anastrozole, is one of three newer drugs called aromatase inhibitors, which prevent estrogen from being made in the first place instead of just keeping it from entering cells. Excitement for Arimidex grew three years ago, when early results from this same large international study suggested it was better at preventing recurrence. Many doctors were reluctant to recommend it instead of tried-and-true tamoxifen, which has long been available in cheap, generic form. Just last month, the world's largest group of cancer specialists, the American Society for Clinical Oncology, published new guidelines saying aromatase inhibitors were promising drugs that at some point should be part of most breast cancer

GI saves stepmother from burning house The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — A serviceman home on military leave saved his stepmother from a fire in their rural residence. Dusty Kitchko, 21, who was home from the Army, said he heard a "pop" as he was getting ready to go running Tuesday morning. "I'm guessing it was electrical,";he said. After learning that the home in far southeast Oklahoma City

was on fire, Kitchko tried to get upstairs to save his stepmother, Sandra. "Smoke was everywhere,". he said. "It was too much." Kitchko told his stepmother to go outside on the balcony. "She was upstairs screaming, scared," he said. • Kitchko told his stepmother to jump from the second floor and promised to catch her. Sandra Kitchko jumped to safety, and was treated for smokeinhalation at the scene of the fire at about 11 a.m. A muddy road kept firefight-

ers from getting all their equipment to the house. No fire hydrants were near the house, so firefighters had to truck water in, Fire Maj. Rocky Miller said. "We had to set a water shuttle system," Miller said. "The two-story house was fully involved when we got here." Firefighters had to use a chain saw to get upstairs. "This has been a very tough one," Miller said. The house was destroyed. The fire remains under investigation, Miller said.

Arimidex users, but the trend wasn't strong enough to say it couldn't have resulted from chance alone, Buzdar said. "I don't think you have to show a survival advantage to change practice habits," because of Arimidex's many other benefits, said Dr. Paul Goss, a Massachusetts General Hospital breast cancer expert who had no role in this study but has led others involving different aromatase inhibitors. They include fewer cases of endometrial cancer, blood clots, hot flashes and vaginal bleeding and discharge than among tamoxifen users. Women on Arimidex had more joint pain and bone fractures, though the latter can be treated with other drugs. Arimidex also proved superior when women were switched to it after two or three years on tamoxifen, tests on 3,224 women found. With about two years of followup information, women on Arimidex had a 40 percent lower risk of recurrence than

those who stuck with tamoxifen, said Dr. Raimund Jakesz of Vienna Medical School. A Pfizer-sponsored study of its aromatase inhibitor, Aromasin, found similar benefits to switching in a, study of nearly 5,000 women. Those who got Aromasin after two or three years on tamoxifen had 32 percent less risk of recurrence or new cancers than those who got tamoxifen for five years, said Dr. Charles Coombes of the Imperial College of Medicine in England. Osteoporosis, muscle and joint pain were slightly greater among Aromasin users, and more women on Aromasin had heart attacks — 20 versus eight on tamoxifen — though all had a previous cardiovascular risk factor, he said. A trend is emerging toward better survival — there were 152 deaths among Aromasin users and 187 in the tamoxifen group. "The idea of switching treatment, I believe, is here to stay," Coombes said.

Usage of the world 'dude' deciphered by linguists cially important to young men who are under social pressure to be close with other young men, but not enough to be suspected as gay. In other words: Close, dude, but not that close. "It's like man or buddy, there is often this male-male addressed term that says, `I'm your friend but not much more than your friend,'" said Kiesling, whose research focuses on language and masculinity. To decode the word's meaning, Kiesling listened to conversations with fraternity members he taped in 1993. He also had undergraduate students in sociolinguistics classes in 2001 and 2002 write down the first 20 times they heard "dude" and who said it during a three-day period. He found the word taps into nonconformity and a new American image of leisurely success. Anecdotally, men were the predominant users of the word, but women sometimes

by Mike Crissey The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Dude, you've got to read this. A linguist from the University of Pittsburgh has published a scholarly paper deconstructing and deciphering the word "dude," contending it is much more than a catchall for lazy, inarticulate surfers, skaters, slackers and teenagers. An admitted dude-user during his college years, Scott Kiesling said the fourletter word has many uses: in greetings ("What's up, dude?"); as an exclamation ("Whoa, Dude!"); commiseration ("Dude, I'm so sorry."); to one-up someone ("That's so lame, dude."); as well as agreement, surprise and disgust ("Dude."). Kiesling says in the fall edition of American Speech that the word derives its power from something he calls cool solidarity — an effortless kinship that's not too intimate. Cool solidarity is espe-

call each other dudes. Less frequently, men will call women dudes and vice versa. But that comes with some rules, according to self-reporting from students in a 2002 language and gender class included in the paper. "Men report that they use dude with women with whom they are close friends, but not with women with whom they are intimate," according to the study. His students also reported that they were least likely to use the word with parents, bosses and professors. Historically, dude originally meant "old rags" — a "dudesman" was a scarecrow. In the late 1800s, a "dude" was akin to a "dandy," a meticulously dressed man, especially out West. It became "cool" in the 1930s and 1940s, according to Kiesling. Dude began its rise in the teenage lexicon with the 1981 movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

patients' treatment, but not spelling out which drugs should be used for which women and when. The new five-year results on Arimidex are the most definitive, finding that the drug improved disease-free survival by 17 percent over tamoxifen in estrogen-sensitive tumors. Many doctors believe Arimidex will now become the standard treatment. "The benefit in the first five years justifies offering treatment as early as possible," said Dr. Anthony Howell of the Univesity of Manchester in England, who led the study. They fall short of meeting the toughest standard for proving a drug's value. Doctors in and outside the study say that women in the study had very early cancers and therefore the best possible prognosis, so seeing a difference between groups getting one or the other drug likely will take longer than five years. In fact, 13 percent fewer cancer deaths occurred among

STUDENT PRESS from page 1 photo on the cover of its Oct. 7, 2004, issue of its weekly supplement, State Press Magazine, which caused ASU President Michael Crow to threaten the removal of funding for the paper. The article was about body piercing and how some students believe it enhances their sex lives. The photo was of a woman's breast, and the nipple was pierced by a 10-gauge barbell.

The photograph didn't violate obscenity laws and is therefore protected by the First Amendment. However, Ira Fulton, one of the school's most generous donors, saw the photo and complained to Crow. In turn, Crow sent a subordinate, Juan Gonzalez, to speak to State Press Editor in Chief Cameron Eickmeyer. Gonzalez threatened to kick the paper off campus should they continue to print similar material.

"It's contrary to the values of American democracy and the principles of free inquiry on a college campus," Student Press Law Center director Mark Goodman told Phoenix New Times. "If I were a college administrator in this situation, I would be extremely embarrassed to take the position that `we have the right to dictate the content of a college newspaper.' That's not the way the press works in this country, for good

reason." The SPLC is a nonprofit organization that provides free legal advice to students and •is devoted to "educating high school and college journalists about the rights and responsibilities embodied in the First Amendment and supporting the student news media in their struggle to cover important issues free from censorship." They are one of many organizations trying to preserve First

Amendment rights in this country "The primary purp6se of journalism is to provide citizens with the information they need to be free and self-governing," says Press Freedom in Practice, a manual for student media advisers in responding to censorship. Newspapers provide a forum for public criticism and comment and helps students to become effective citizens.

Freedom of the press also "increases a belief in the relevancy of our constitutional freedoms and respect for more than 2000 years of American history," according to Press Freedom. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty not safety," Benjamin Franklin.
