"I THINK IT'S important for men to support women in their struggles as well as women supporting women," he said. Canadian Velvet has advertised on the billboard owned by Central Adver- tising of Jackson for 20 years, Kramer said. Since then, it has been the target of protesters at least 10 times, Kramer said. RISE, however, wants to put a stop to the protests. Group members have been collecting signatures protesting the billboard as sexist and will take them to Central Advertising in an effort to persuade the company to take the billboard down. THE SIGN was painted recently with the slogan "Objects never, women forever, Women RISE." Jennifer Akfirat, an LSA senior, and Mary Jane Emanoil, a city resident, were arrested and charged with malicious destruction of property in that incident. A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for April 9. RISE members said they will attend the hearing in support of the two women. They said they will also bring the signatures they have collected which protest the advertisement. "We want to submit the signatures as evidence in the trial," Kramer said. At one point during yesterday's protest, six of the picketers climbed on- to the rooftop billboard. Police arrived and read the demonstrators the trespassing act, after which the protesters climbed down off the adver- tisement. Daily Photo by DAN -' I Carolyn Henry, an LSA junior, offers pizza to her niece Michelle Simmons. But Michelle, like many of the li' siblings up this weekend, looks like she's holding out for soft serve ice cream. Students welco-me lii' siblings to fun-filled weekend on campus (Continued from Page 1) Have Fun. And I'm having fun," she proclaimed with a smile. "IT'S HARD to come up with things to do with your little brothers and sisters on yourown," Woronoff says. Mary Ann Winowiecke, a sophomore in Mary Markley, agrees. In the hour her six-year-old brother had been in town, they had completed "the junk food circuit - J.B. Chips, Steve's Ice Cream, McDonald'S." The full weekend schedule made it easier to entertain the young visitors, but some students and their siblings had more creative plans. EIGHTEEN-year-old Joe Tancreti, visiting his sister, a sophomore in West Quad, wanted to go to a bar and "meet some co-eds." But their 12-year-old brother, Mike, was too young for most bars. 'Three other people have come to me and asked me babysit their little sibs so they can go out," said Joe's sister. "But we're going out together, tonight." WEST QUAD freshman Steve Zimmer decided to "sit around in my room and play quarters" with his ninth grade sister. For many students, like sophomore Dave Berg, the weekend was a break from the usual routine. "It's a nice change from just seeing 20-year-olds," he said. "I wish I had a little sister or brother," said sophomore Gloria Cran, dell and watching the siblings. "It's goodto see kids around who aren't just college students. It's refreshing." Oldenburg said she hopes to expand the program to serve more people next year. 'It's a huge success," said Woronoff, who had been preparing the weekend since January. "We're all really pleased." 1 THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS - - r k 1 , WHITE MARKET Ark. teachers take tests (Continued from Page 1) education section, said after most of the teachers had completed two sessions of testing. VENTERS SAID earlier he thought 90 percent of the state's teachers 28,000 public school teachers would take the test despite the boycott. Last night, however, he siad the figure would top 90 percent. The Arkansas Educational Skills Assessment Test was mandated by the Legislature during a 1983 special session on education. The law was enacted at the behest of Gov. Bill Clin- ton and his wife, Hillary, who led development of better education stan- dards for Arkansas with a $150 million sales tax increase for education. The state will not renew a teaching certificate for any teacher who doesn't pass the test by June 1987. Teachers have four more chances to pass and can get remedial help in the meantime. Clinton said almost all teachers would pass. THE AEA conducted three large rallies against the test, printed material for a boycott committee, and predicted that 8,000 teachers would stay away. An hour after testing began, no boycotting teachers had showed up at AEA offices, and boxes of donuts went untouched. "I guess they're sleeping in," said AEA staff member Don Mur- phy. A Little Rock judge ruled Friday in an AEA suit that the test law was con- stitutional. Joking and laughter mixed with ner- vousness and anger as teachers gathered to take the test. AT OLE MAIN High School in North Little Rock, teachers went to their test at the same time students went to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test. "I'm glad I don't have to take the teacher test," a pupil told a teacher, who replied that the SAT would be harder. POLICE" NOTES Man stabbed In what Ann Arbor police called an "altercation between acquaintances," a 19-year-old man was stabbed in the back and chest late Friday evening at the Maynard House Apartments on 400 Maynard Street. The victim identified as Brian For- sythe by a hospital spokeswoman who asked not to be named was reported to be in good condition at 'U' hospital last -1-t. At Hot Springs, some teachers put the letters U and P beside their names as they registered - "under protest." John Polk, president of the Hot Springs Classroom Teachers Association, wore a "Testbuster" T-shirt. He said he was taking the test on the advice of AEA lawyers because his teaching cer- tificate expires in 90 days. Some Fayetteville teachers wore T- shirts that said "You'vebeen fooled!! This is a waste of my time and energy and your money." The testing was projected to cost $1.4 million. OCEAN FRESH CHUNK LIGHT TUNA PACKED IN WATER, 61/2 oz.
