  • Munitz Says Presidents Can Boost Health Costs
    FRIDAY Spam it, basketball SPARTAN k LY narrowly beats Stanford in 56-52 upset. Vol 99, No. 67 Published for San Jose State University since 1934 Dew: 11114:r 4, 1992 Page 4 Munitz says presidents Wallowing with the pigskin can boost health costs free, said Robert Latta, associate director of health services. Basic services include such things as X- rays, lab work and visits with a nurse, Latta said. Students can purchase a Spartan Health Card for $20 that covers augmented services such as a full examination or referrals to specialists, Latta said. Latta said the academic side of the university is looking toward eliminating the student health bud- get. If that is the case, the only option would be to implement a health fee which would increase cur- rent costs, :.e said. "We're being told we have to look at ways to be self-sufficient?' Latta said. "However, it is too pre- mature to talk of how much health fees would cost in that situation. "Prior to 1985, student health services were funded only by student fees. So if we had to become self-sufficient, we would be going back to that same situation, which is still much less expensive than medical service outside of the university?' Janet Redding, director of university advance- ment, said it is too early to predict a request by KAREN C HANNER SPARTAN DAILY President Handel Evans to increase costs for health CSU Chancellor Barry Munitz services. BY NICOLE SIRI "All areas of the university will be looked at by Spartan Daily man WIlIer priority, and then recommendations will be made?'

  • Trademark Parody: Lessons from the Copyright Decision in Campbell V Acuff-Rose Music, Inc
    TRADEMARK PARODY: LESSONS FROM THE COPYRIGHT DECISION IN CAMPBELL V ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC. GARY MYERS* I INTRODUCTION Parodies have long provided many of us with amusement, entertainment, and sometimes even information. An effective parody can convey one or more messages with powerful effect. The message may be a political statement, social commentary, commercial speech, a bawdy joke, ridicule of a brand name, criticism of commercialism, or just plain humor for its own sake. Often someone's ox is being gored, or someone feels that a property right has been infringed. The party so injured often contemplates a lawsuit, and an array of legal theories are available to further that impulse. Perhaps copyright infringement is the claim, if some protectable expression has been used in the parody; or the right of publicity, if a person's name, likeness, or other identifying characteristic has arguably been usurped; or intentional infliction of emotional distress, if the parody is perceived as too biting.1 Copyright © 1996 by Law and Contemporary Problems * Associate Professor of Law, University of Mississippi. The author would like to thank the Lamar Order of the University of Mississippi for research support. 1. Judge Alex Kozinksi, in his eloquent dissent from the denial of en banc rehearing of the panel decision in White v. Samsung Elecs. America Corp., gave some illustrations of the expanding scope of intellectual property litigation and noted the dangers inherent in the trend: Saddam Hussein wants to keep advertisers from using his picture in unflattering contexts. Clint Eastwood doesn't want tabloids to write about him.
