While munching on potato chips
and drinking soda, students living in
residence halls are openly discussing
sexuality, sex-roles, and relation-
ships with their peers.
The students are participating in
one of the University's "Sex and
Snacks" programs for residence hall
students. The programs are presented
annually by the staff in each resi-
dence hail.
"It's important that women and
men talk about themselves because
our culture perpetuates myths about
men and women in how they think
and act," said Mary Lou Antieau,
South Quad building director.
"The 'Sex and Snacks' program
is being done in response to resi-
dents' concerns about safe sex," said
LSA senior Kathy Park, a West
Quad resident director. She said
many first-year students attend these
meetings to learn how to deal with
the pressures related to finding rela-
tionships and making new friends.

tions to the facilitators anony-

the facilitators, but the students dis-
cuss them.

"Sex in this country is a very
privatized matter," said LSA senior
Daniel Hunter, an East Quad resident
fellow. "You will get a more honest
range of questions if they are sub-
mitted anonymously."

Democrats called for the University
to suspend deputization plans and
create committees to the explore the
issue.
Joe Neely, chair of the Wash-
tenaw County Republican Commit-
tee, said his party will not meet
until Nov. 26, but he does not
expect it will pass a resolution simi-
lar to the Democrats'.
"I don't see anything we can con-
tribute to one side or the other," he
said. No one from the Ann Arbor

Republican Party could be reached
for comment.
The Feminist Women's Union
created a committee called the
Feminist Women's Committee
Against Deputization (FWCAD) to
give support to the anti-deputization
movement.
"We do encompass what the
Student Rights (Commission) be-
lieves. We're working with them for
the same goals," said FWCAD
member Karen Karolle.
"If safety is really the issue, then
they're doing the wrong thing, said

female perceptions of sexuality to
homosexuality.
"Although 'Sex and Snacks' is a
fun thing to do, educational pro-

residents of the various options and
services available regarding human
sexuality," said LSA senior Tracy
Boyce; a Stockwell resident direct*
Future programs may include
workshops about contraceptive use
or safe sex and presentations pertain-

assault.
"I would like to see another 'Sex

first one built up trust needed to dis-
cuss the difficult topic of sex,"
Matthew Stevens, a LSA first-
student, said.st

that safe?"
FWCAD participated in the
protests last week and are now wait-
ing to see what the Students' Rig*
Commission plans to do, said
FWCAD member Anne Herlick.
"We really got more students out and
brought attention to the issue."
FWCAD would rather attain in-

Students attending the address
were impressed with the different
perspective Akins presented about
the crisis.
"He presented a different pictu0
than the media," said engineering
sophomore Kelly Carney.
"He brought up a lot of facts we
weren't aware of," said LSA senior
Kris Matey. "The information we
have been getting has been pretty
much censored."

"The Sunrunner is officially re-
tired, and that was its last race. It
will finish its little tour, then it will
be put away somewhere nice and
neat like a museum," said Mike
McAlear, a strategist/programmer.
The finish was also the end of a
one and a half year effort that in-

volved more than 110 students from
the School of Engineering, LSA, the
School of Natural Resources, and the
School of Business Administration.
Although most of the team
members are relieved, they are also
satisfied with the experience. "It was

"Saddam... must be allowed to

Akins' proposals for ending the

on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
He asserted that U.N.-sponsored
sanctions were the best route to re-
solving the crisis, and suggested that
further action be postponed for about
a year, the amount of time the sanc-
tions would need to be effective.
"The sanctions must be given
time," Akins said, "but we have un-
fortunately gone beyond sanctions."
If the U.S. does depose Saddam,
Akins expressed the fear that the new

Day O'Connor-agreed with that
assessment.
The Justice Department had
joined with Noriega's lawyers in op-
posing the request.
The court also turned down a
formal appeal the cable network
filed.
In a dissenting opinion for him-
self and O'Connor, Marshall said
"this case is of extraordinary conse-
quence for freedom of the press."
"Our precedence makes unmistak-
ably clear that any prior restraint of
expression comes to this court bear=
ing a heavy presumption against its
constitutional validity and that the
proponent of this drastic remedy car-
ries a heavy burden of showing justi-
fication for its imposition," Mar-

Mary Roth of Ann Arbor Draft, GI
and Vets' Counselling Center, and
Richard Cleaver of the American
Friends Service Committee, was
dominated by discussions of the Se-
lective Service System and how it
will administer the draft.
Roth and Cleaver discussed that
deferments would no longer be avail-
able. Cleaver made the point that
young adults shouldn't "wait 'til the
draft comes" and that they ought to
be "resisting war."
While Roth and Cleaver indicated
that young people are concerned
about being inducted into the mili-
tary - armed services currently have

If Congress reinstates a draft, as
commanded by the President, in-
ductees will have to show "religious
or moral objection to war," Cleaver
said.
In "War At Home and the War in
the Persian Gulf: A Black Perspec-
tive," students and community
members heard Liz Allen, a veteran
of the Vietnam War, say "War is n*
new to me."
