'Campus Times' examines college life
Campus Times is not a
newfangled “Glamour.” It
doesn’t try to be.
It is, however, a magazine
for women, launched by the
editors of “Ms.” magazine and
co-edited by the well-known
feminist founder of “Ms.,”
Gloria Steinem. This week, the
second annual edition of “Cam
pus Times" will be distributed
free on campus.
The magazine strives to
provide what the editors term
“alternative news specifically
addressed to college women."
It features articles on issues
such as campus activism,
careers, women’s programs and
sexual values. '
A report on the new right
wing student press publications
on campuses across the country
is also included, and '"•Jobs of
the ’90s: From Surefire Hits to
Impossible Dreams" gives an
overview of. the careers of the
future that show the most (or
least) promise.

Co-editors Martha Nelson
and Ruth Sullivan take a
pragmatic view of their
magazine: “We recognize that
college doesn't just prepare you
for real life — it is in fact, real
life.”
“During the last decade,
media reports on college life
have painted a dramatic, if
sometimes dreary picture:
students obsessed with 'making
it,’ oblivious to social issues,
enchanted only with tradition,”
they say. ‘‘This
(magazine), . .reexamines this
image and draws on student
voices to tell what is really hap
pening on campuses today.”
The articles, written by
students, professors, freelance
writers, critics and magazine
editors from across the country,
constitute a well-rounded
publication — one that ex
amines the intellectual,
physical and emotional aspects
of college life for women. The
issues are approached in a
sophisticated and mature man
ner, but not without a keen
sense of humor.
Although Campus Times is
aimed at women and deals
mainly with women’s and
feminist’s issues, it provides an
excellent forum for both male
and female points of view.
Whatever your gender, pick up
a copy. After all, it’s free.

"A powerful agent is the right
word. Whenever we come upon
one of those intensely right
words in a book or a newspaper
the resulting effect is physical
as well as spiritual, and elec
trically prompt,” once wrote
the venerable Mark Twain.
Often Writers, when sear

characteristically turn to their
ever-faithful Webster’s,
disregarding the more valuable
tool: a thesaurus.
'‘The Random House
Thesaurus — College Edition”
is a newcomer to th«i field, in
troducing a refreshing, helpful
format.
This thesaurus not only pro
vides the reader with an exam

also lists more than 200,000
synonyms and antonyms to
11,000 words in an
alphabetical, dictionary-like
format that’s easier to use than
traditional index formats
employed in many thesauruses.
