How do you recognize quality education at the post-secondary level? Even though we can easily see the difference of paychecks Street Wise by Dani~ Wolf between Ivy League and Boise State graduates it isn't necessarily indicative of brilliance Ivy League colleges embed in their students.

Boise State University vol- needed." untarily decided to participate in this survey. Questions focused on students' participation and involvement linked to academic and personal development, such as working with faculty, time spent on projects, the amount of reading and writing, and the type of mental activities they engaged in. This survey also constructed five benchmarks from survey items, These were, level of academic challenge, active and collaborative learning, student interactions with faculty, enriching edljcational experiences, and supportive campus environment. BSU places below _the median on each one of these benchmarks compared to all others included in the survey. The lowest benchmark of all five at BSU was Scott Wardle - freshmen supportive campus environment. This fell below the roth percentile "No it's not fair to pay for both freshmen and seniors. tuition to enhance my SUB What is most interesting about this report is its timing. ASBSU experience.

The response to BSU student radio's wants and needs is another example of a slow,disinterested administration. Tan Dmn, the oordinator of the Multiethnic center, explained their club's experience as finding the University wanting to be supportive and as taking positive actions of support, but needs are wide, varied and not completely being met. ' She adds that they'd also like to see "outright commitment" of the administration to be embedded in future campus life. Has the adminis- oK CLASS, tars tration read the findings of this survey? Maybe they would not be so I3EGlN OUR LESSON .... surprised and dismayed by Peterson's comments if they had. The survey also showed a mean rating of general satisfaction with educational experience, which is below the national average for both freshmen and sophomores. Is this finding related to the rating of supportive campus environment? Are students generally dissatisfied because of the lack of a supportive campus environment? BSU President Charles Ruch regards students at BSU as con- _sumers, as he clearly has stated. Students are offended by such regard. Not only on a personal level, but also by the lack-of regard toward our cultural ideology of education. This outlook most certainly has effected decisions by our administration in dealing with students and student opinions about their campus environment. I do not believe students want to buy an education, but earn one. Students do not believe they are consumers but pursuers of education, and obviously so do many varying financial supports of BSU. If the administration functioned under a different paradigm, campus and administration support would follow a different flute. When that happens, arts, diversity, a student radio station, grade replace- - ment and other evidence of a supportive Campus environment will follow. But students won't have to ask or petition for the room or the road; it'll already be made available. Until then, in the words of an Arbitn'editorial (Feb.H, 2001) a supportive campus environment "requires a call to actions (by the students) as specific as those, sought by the radio students in 1998" .

Sports may lead fans to domestic violence

by Tim Pappa

(U-WIRE) ATHENS, Ohio - On Jan. 26, 1993, just days before Super Bowl XXVII, Sheila Kuehl of the California Women's. Law center reported that Super Bowl Sunday was "the biggest day of the year for violence against women." . . . . Kuehl cited a 1990 study by Janet Katz of Old ~~I~n University saying that 4<) percent more women report domestic incidents on the, Guaranteed growth day of the Super Bowl than any other day of the year. . The report sent a media wave of feminist urgency across the c9un- try, all based on a misinterpretation of Katz's stud~ ",:,ashingt?p'Post writer Ken Ringle eventually directed an mvestlgation, calling for action against all potentially abusive husbands - viewers of/the Super never looked so good!

"That's not what we found at all," Katz said in a Jan. 31, 1993 Ringle article. 'l\.n increase in emergency-room admission was not associated with the occurrence of football games in general."
