At the beginning of the year there were few attendees at these meetings, but as the year progressed more and more people came until a liaison from every greek house was present each week. Twenty new peer advocates joined SHARPP in the fall, and between 12 and 55 are in training now to become advocates in the spring. iJHE NEW HAMPSHIRE Every day advocates for the Sexual Harassment and Rape Preven- tion Program (SHARPP) at the University of New Hampshire are on call to help victims of sexual assault. When the office cannot be open, student advocates carry beepers and an information packet to answer whatever questions a sur- vivor might have. They also carry a sweat suit for the victim to wear, should he or she need to be taken to the hospital and their clothes used as evidence. SHARPP was established in 1982 as an organization to provide for the needs of assault survivors and to educate the general public on the prevention of sexual harassment and assault. Today SHARPP provides crisis intervention, education and awareness programs, as well as confidenand consulttial advocacy-trainin- g ing, among various other programs.

They said a university is a "marketplace of ideas" that should be free from government limits on speech. "I imagine we'll be criticized by some and lauded by others," Calvert said.

UND saw what could potentially be just the tip of the iceberg as far as protests over the Fighting Sioux name are concerned. American Indian activist and actor Russell Means marched along with University of Colorado professor and leader of Colorado's American Indian Movement (AIM) Glenn Morris, and many of UND's sup- porters at a "Day of Mourning" peaceful march Friday, Feb. 23, to protest the mascot name, which they say is racist. More protests are being planned, one for the upcoming spring graduation ceremonies. Means said he intends to bring an "AIM caravan" of supporters from Minneapolis, Denver and the Lakota Indian reservations in South Dakota for the protest. "I'm contemplating, and the American Indian Movement is contemplating, disrupting the graduation ceremonies," Means said, "and we will use any means necessary." Means faced a multitude of cameras and microphones as he spoke about some of the potential - GEE is an independent student newspaper published daily Monday through Friday during Fall and Spring semesters (excluding test weeks and holidays) and weekly during Summer Term.

"We have boycott weapons and we have influence in certain places in Congress. We can hurt this university economically." Means said he will be contacting U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Thomas Daschle to them to the transfer urge federally funded program Indians Into Medicine to the University of South Dakota and stop any other federal funding to UND. He also said American Indian students from South Dakota are being urged to drop out of UND and attend school elsewhere. When asked about American Indians who have shown support for the Fighting Siou' 'nickname, Means responded by calling them idiots. "It's always been since the War of 1812 that the U.S. Government, or any other missionaries, can find their favorite Indians to support their causes," Means said.

President Defends Students9 Eights To Free Speech Fol lowing Sex Fair With a sexual showdown looming at Tuesday's state House Appropriations Committee hearing, battle lines formed in Harrisburg, Perm., Monday. Responding to controversy over feminist events that two student-ru- n dealt explicitly with sex, Gov. Tom Ridge called Monday for Pennsylvania State University to apply more "common-sens- e restrictions" to student speech Sex became the sideshow to Penn State's budget process after Rep, John who sits on Lawless, the House Appropriations Committee, said Penn State should suffer financially for allowing such events. The first event to draw Lawless' ire was advertised in November with a banner featuring a profanity. Lawless and Ridge both said the word was inappropriate. Penn State President Graham Spanier, who appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee, kept his relatively diplomatic stance. He apologized for the offensive programs but defended the students' rights to free speech "I would only ask that we keep this in the best perspective we can," Spanier said. "I have the ability to control those 100,000 people students and employees of the university about as thoroughly as the governor has the ability to control the behavior of members of the legislature."
