Researchers are impatient to score a grant at
the University of Florida, as are their subjects —
squirrel monkeys and pigeons
Federal grants amounting to $150,000 have
been held up by "red tape," Psychology Profes
sor Marc Branch will have to wait nearly 17
months for research funds from the National
Institute of Drug Abuse before he can begin tests
to measure cocaine s effect on learning in mon
keys and pigeons.
Branch refused to use the more than 200
human volunteers who signed petitions in June
offering themselves as subjects for the cocaine
research
Sniff save the monkeys and pigeons

Mickey Mouse courses are alive and well at
Northwestern University
Among the hundreds of courses listed in the
fall guide are Understandings of Death, Habits in
Conflict, Biological Clocks and Radiation Health
Although they sound like misnomers, these are
bona fide courses offered at Northwestern
Radiation Health?
The professors who teach the courses are
responsible for the listings in the guide Probably
the most curious, and the one most often cut, is a
seminar called Sleep and Insomnia But does the
sleep section preceed the insomnia section or the
insomnia come before the sleep?
The Daily Northwestern, Oct. 5
An opinion piece headlined, Students:
defend your school, buy a handgun is only the tip
of the proverbial iceberg as students at the
University of Southern California face a problem
with crime prevention on campus
The piece is darkly satirical, but indicative of
the widespread crime at USC The Student Sen
ate voted to augment the budget for campus
security and to reinstitute an anonymous tipster
program
The opinion piece advocates arming the
entire student population — which is about
26,000 "If we don't alleviate the crime problem,”
the writer states, “at least we ll make The Guin
ness Book of World Records for the largest
vigilante group ever formed ”

The sisters ain't safe in their houses at
Eastern Illinois University. During a three week
period the majority of sorority houses around the
Charleston campus have been involved in a series
of break-ins Food, clothing and house items were
the type of items taken in the break-ins
The dean of student activities is on the case
"We don't know who is doing this,” the dean said,
“but we assume the incidents are related ”
The sisters are steaming and a little un
nerved “It is not a pledge class doing something
for a joke or a bunch of fraternity guys doing
something like painting the rock in front of the
sorority house,” one said
The Daily Eastern News, Oct. 6
Yay, whence the first digit were writ on the
silicon chip more than just word processing
changed So did the nature of crime — as three
University of Washington students will attest
The three students are being prosecuted for
stealing more than $1,200 worth of computer time
by using an account number issued to another
student
For the most part the thieves used the com
puter time to finish assignments. Although, one of
the three students admitted using computer time
to play "Star Trek.”
The three students will have to repay the
University for the computer time and work 100
hours without pay.
Daily Evergreen, Oct. 5
Indiana University is in the midst of a drought
— and officials are hell-bent on keeping the
campus that way.
Officials will be conducting spot checks on
public areas in dormitories and fraternity houses
and warning students of potential charges
against those found drinking
These unannounced checks are part of a full
scale assault on alcohol abuse initiated this fall by
the dean of students The dean links student
drinking to problems of vandalism, academic
failures, sex-related assaults and suicidal
behavior. That's about everything except full
frontal nudity
According to D.J Bolinger, president of
Indiana University, students "are very angry at the
crackdown."
