Professor J. Donald Silva, of the University of New , CONGRESS Hampshire, was temporarily reinstated by Judge Shane Devine, who said that a classroom lecture considered "verbally outra / geous" cannot be automatically 1abeled as sexual harassment. For those of you who don't remember the "Jell-0 and vibra tor" lectures under scrutiny by Judge Devine, a brief recap is in order. In April of 1993, Silva was suspended from his teaching duties because of several complaints from female students in his classes. According to the students, Silva made various references to sex in comparison to writing, as well as compar ing belly dancing to "Jell-0 on a plate with a vibratorunder the plate." After his suspension, the university ordered him to attend counseling on sexual harassment. Silva, however, stood his ground and refused, suing the school. For the past year, the battle has raged in the courts, each group fighting for its own rights. Silva battled for freedom of speech and the right to teach his classes the way he felt appropriate, whi1e the students who felt his methods were bordering on offensive said he didn't promote a proper learn ing environment. Professor Silva ended up on top of the hill. A sigh of relief went up in urtiversities all over the United States, as teachers' rights were upheld by the federal court. .... ------~ The huge tidal wave of sexual harassment claims contin ues to crash against the court system, which finds itself Resistance is futile: You will be assimilated between the rock of constitutional freedom and the hard place Newt Gingrich.

Once again, I am compelled to respond to the opinion of a aid on the severed limb ofcollege teaching. Students require Mr. Brunner also points out that there is little correlation member of the Future staff. I am referring to the ridiculous more nowadays to keep their attention and interest in between the grades given by professors and the true aptitude of opinion voiced by Chad Brunner regarding mandatory final leam.ing. It's pretty much a given that students will do the the students. In many cases this is true. Students may not have exams. Mr. Brunner begins by saying that finals week is hell least amount ofwork necessary to get the job accomplished, the influence to change the types ofexams given in their classes, because students have to prove, in two or three hours, that they so it's no huge leap offaith to figure out why both attendance but they do have the responsibility to attend class and study, and have learned something in the 10 weeks of classes they may or and.finals are nowmandatory. only then will they attain the aptitude required to "he.ad out into may not have attended, depending on whether a instructor took H students will do the least amount of work to get the job their field ofexpertise."

The band is promoting its latest release, Scratch the Surface. The event was a genuine treat, as Sick of it All stayed true to its hardcore roots. And though they . have signed with East/West, a di vision of Atlantic, Scratch the Suiface is still full of powerful and grinding tunes that will make any punker jump with joy. Right from start, Sick of it All charges out with "No Cure" leading the way. This primes the synapses in your brain to prepare it for the full on attack of the ensuing songs. The whole album rips, and there is not a minute of wasted time with ballads and the like. Highlights include "Maladjusted" and "Farm Team." One song of real interest is "Goatless," about the nut who went to school with a gun and killed several of his classmates while wearing a Sick of it A11 T-shirt. Lou KolJer, the man on the mike, and his brother, Pete, combine their talents to head up the group. Arman Majidi, formerly of Straight Ahead, and Craig Satari, of Youth of Today and Agnostic Front, round out the line up.
