While we are very pleased at the recent announcement to replace the current, unusable courts with : new lighted ones, we are disappointed that this change will not happen for another year (See Story, Page 1). The communication between administration officials and students during the decision process makes this a model more administrators would be wise to consider.

    EN SORORIDAD A UNA MUJER EN LA LUCHA, MELIDA ANAYA MONTES, PRESENTEl October z, 133Th7 e UWEstablished M1956 Posvolumte 4Z, Number 5 By Rochelle Deborah Bernard A"\nother "silent witness" has been added to the list. University of Michigan student Tamara Williams was stabbed to death by her boyfriend recently. He had a violent history, having beenjailed and put on proba­ tion for previous attacks on Tamara. Even though she had a no-contact order against him, the Michigan courts did nothing when he continued to harass her. Consequently, Tamara leaves behind a 21 /2-year-old daugh­ ter: another victim in the never-ending struggle against domestic violence. Hundreds gathered at Marquette Univer­ sity last Thursday evening for the annual Take Back the Night rally, which acknowl­ edges victims of violent crimes like rape and battery, and mourns those who, like Tamara, lost their lives as a result of such crimes. In the past year there have been over 5,500 court cases involving domestic violence in Milwaukee. Wisconsin's mandatory arrest law requires police to make an arrest in any complaint of domestic violence. Once con­ victed, offenders are also subject to manda­ tory perpetrator counseling. One of the speakers at the event, Milwau­ kee Police Department Deputy Inspector Monica Ray, recalled the days when police officers had virtually no training in dealing with domestic violence. She told of one case in which several officers spent an hour and a half talking a woman out of pressing charges against her abusive husband, saying she would "only anger him" if she pursued charges.

On Oct. 9, at about midnight, an unidentified woman said a man she knew sexually assaulted her in Thomas Hall, a police report said. Though the report was filed, no charges will be filed, said Adam Due, chief public safety officer. He said the woman wanted to make police aware of the situation, but did not want to take the case any further. Due said the victim knew the offender, did not seek medical attention and police were not aware of any alcohol use. Tom Edwards, president of the board for Sexual Assault Crisis and Information Center, said going to police is one option sexual assault victims have, but victims who feel they need help should call professional help lines in their area after an assault.

  • Understanding St. Louis' Love for Hoosier Department of Linguistics
    This is a pre-publication draft; the article has been accepted for publication in Names: A Journal of Onomastics. Understanding St. Louis’ Love for Hoosier DANIEL DUNCAN Department of Linguistics, New York University, New York, USA While the American English demonym hoosier refers to Indiana residents, it means ‘poor, rural, white trash’ in St. Louis, Missouri (Murray, 1987). This paper uses discourse analysis of several texts across a range of registers and formalities to explore why its use persists despite less- localized alternatives (redneck, etc.) and why it has become enregistered (Agha, 2003) as a feature of the local dialect. Findings show hoosier is used to police the behavior of the target. Unlike similar slurs, its use requires knowledge of St. Louis’ social geography. Hoosier allows speakers to demonstrate localness while positioning themselves and St. Louis as cosmopolitan compared to the derided target. As such, hoosier asserts positive values for St. Louisans who use it. Keywords slurs, enregisterment, localness, demonyms, St. Louis Introduction In General American English, a common demonym for residents of Indiana is Hoosier. Indiana is known as the Hoosier State (Metcalf, 2017), and the Indiana University athletic teams are known as the Hoosiers. It is unclear what the exact etymology of the demonym is, although Graf (2000) summarizes several theories—among them, that the term derives from the phrase ‘Who’s here?’ or a regional dialect term meaning ‘rustic, country bumpkin.’ The latter possibility appears, however, to be derived from the demonym, rather than providing a source. As will be discussed in this paper, hoosier is commonly used in the local dialect of St.
