SHORT SUBJECTS
BITTER THAN TV
Advertisers know that students,
by and large, don't watch televi
sion. Consequently, companies
have developed innovative ways to
reach the college market One of the
most interesting is Kodak's touring
multimedia show, Rock n' Roll
Time runnel, from the Los Angeles
Museum of Rock Art It's scheduled
to visit 80 campuses this year.
HOME GROWN
On the other hand, even if stu
dents don’t watch television,
some of their classmates arc
putting themselves on the other side
of the screen. Students at the IJniver
sity of South Carolina have begun
what they claim is the first student
operated cable television channel.
They broadcast swimming meets,
body building contests and city
council meetings one night a week
through a local cable company.
ROCK AID
R<x:k Alike, a fund raising contest
developed by MTV for Students
Against MS (multiple sclerosis),
was used on 12 Midwestern campus
es last spring to raise- nearly $90,000
for MS programs Competitors lip
synched to their favorites discs, lop
fundraiser Noire Dame was reward
ed with an M'lV sponsored concert
on campus, while individual winners
appeared on an MTV s|x*cial
This year the effort will include
over ISO campuses nationwide, and
M IV promises to repeat its awards
To net on the bandwagon, contact

FOR ART S SAKE
Ohio Stan- University's Gallery is
the home of a very extensive
collection of line art, worth over
>10 million Now students and facul
ty can take a little hit of that treasure
into their own homes on a rental ha
sis, under the gallery's current policy
that art works "should he seen, anil
not locked away in a vault "
HIT THOSE ROOKS
One final word for those ol you
who are looking for yet another
excuse to close those books and
watch Dynasty The results of a ten
year study recently concluded at
IVnnsylvania State University were
that time spent studying hail very lit
tie correlation to high marks The
factor most closely related to good
grades was class attendance Take
notes on that
