Robert S. Martin, director of the Institute of Museum and Li- braryServices (IMLS), will present a lecture MondayFeb. 9, titled,"The Role of Museums and Libraries in Developing a Learning Society in the 21st Century." Appointed in 2001 by President Bush, Martin was the first librarian to lead the Institute. His main goal for the public is to provide them with resources and historical facts that only museums and libraries Martin can give. He believes they meet the heeds of different cultures and communities, and are vital to a successful society. They can be used to appreciate art, recreation, history, education, and heritage. While the IMLS offers a variety of programs to help with research and extended learning, the number one goal for the 21st century is to emphasize the availability of digital resources between libraries and museums.

Our Opinion » Nippplegate: putting your body parts where your mouths are

For years now, all sorts of primetime television programs have pushed the limits of what the FCC considers "decency." So why, when someone actually performs on the ideas presented, does the FCC and every television watchdog group get up in arms? Unless you've been watching only the History Channel since last Sunday night, you're probably privy to the stunt pulled during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. No, we're not talking about the P. Diddy and Nelly duet. During a duet performance that MTV had billed to promise "shocking moments," Justin Timberlake ripped off a piece of Janet Jackson's top, revealing her breast. Whether or not it was unintentional, as MTV continues to say (though it does seem strange that Timberlake's last sung before the incident were "gonna have you naked by the end of this "), is irrelevant. The real issue is the simple fact that various television shows including those produced by CBS have talked about sex, sexual acts, sexual parts of the body and other seemingly lewd topics. So when Janet Jackson fell out of the norm (excuse the pun) by exposing her breast on national television in front of millions, why are there so many people making a fuss over it? I suppose it's one thing to mention the "ugly naked guy" and a completely different hemisphere to actually show him in his nude glory. In all honesty, most if not all of those who might be considered too young War on drugs does more harm than good to see a little more of Janet than most will probably be looking at something much more raunchy in the next few years.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - She is talking a mile a minute, but no words tome out of her mouth. She's giving a report on Beethoven, yet the entire classroom is silent. Jessica House is a junior at South Plantation High in the midst pf earning 4n important grade for her American Sign Language class. Her hands turn, jflip, brush, slap and point as she makes her meaning known, eyebrows arch- ing.

Now 11 high schools in the area have ASL classes. Six public Jiigh schools offer ASL in Palm Beach County, where enrollment has more than doubled in the past six years. In Miami-Dade, 14 schools offer ASL to about 5,680 students, although only four of those schools cater to hearing pupils. Nationwide, ASL is also the fastest-growing foreign-language offering at U.S. colleges and universities. Since 1998,186 new institutions have started offering ASL - for a total of 234 higher-learning establishments serving 60,000 students, according to a 2002 survey by the Modern Language Association of America. Jennifer McGonigle-Collins, 31, was exposed to South Plantation High's program as a student, went on to study the language in college, and now is the school's only ASL teacher. To meet the high demand for classes, she teaches seven periods straight with no planning break.
