have met its end because editorial
izing against the bond also could
have angered administrators mak
ing program cuts.
“They could have been cutting
their own throats,” Watkins said.
The Advocate is the second stu
dent organization to receive an
award in the four years of the
Payne Awards.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel,
the 2003 news organization winner,
faced similar pressures for a series
of stories revealing the cracks in
Florida’s child welfare system that
lost nearly 500 children. Using pub
lic records, they found nine missing
children — two in less than three
hours. They continued to pursue
the story despite threats of subpoe
nas from Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Sun-Sentinel reporter Megan O’
Matz said the staff refused to be in
timidated by the threats and strived
to be true to their readers.
“They’re not always easy choic
es to make, but you follow the facts
— they’ll lead you to the truth,”
O’Matz said.
The professional Payne Award went
to “News from Indian Country” editor
and publisher Paul DeMain. DeMain
spent years investigating the murders
of two federal agents, who were killed
nearly 30 years ago, and the unsolved
murder of Annie Mae Pictou-Aquash,
a possible witness to the murders. Af
ter years of advocating for suspect
Leonard Peltier, DeMain published a
definitive story concluding that he was
guilty. He has since faced a lawsuit
from Peltier and anonymous death
threats, but still feels truth is essential
to good journalism.
“As journalists, at the core of our
ethics is trust from the public,” De
Main said.
The Journal of the American Med
ical Association also received an hon
orable mention for an issue encour
aging ethics in medical reporting.
Journalism school Dean Tim
Gleason said this year’s awards
“sent up something of a red flag”
about the present climate of profes
sional journalism.
“We received a significant num
ber of nominations concerning situ
ations where journalists were fired
or resigned because they were being
asked to do things they believed to
be in conflict with their personal in
terests,” Gleason said.

Frohnmayer’s office in Johnson Hall.
“There is no visible hostility ex
cept that I think we both understand
that we wish the other one would
just go someplace else,” Stahl said.
“He waves from across the street,
and we \vave,” Foss s^id.
Frohnmayer was not available for
comment, but his special counsel,
Barbara West, said Stahl and Foss
have every right to express their
opinions and hand out materials.
“That’s what a university is for,”
West said. “It should be a free mar
ketplace for ideas.”
Stahl and Foss stand firm in the
hope that their activism will pro
mote greater political awareness
among students and faculty mem
bers. They are getting a spectrum of
reactions from passers-by.
“The great majority just walks by,
and it’s really rare to have someone
explicitly denouncing what we are
doing, but it happens,” Foss said.
Stahl added that most of the ex
pressed points of view are positive.
Graduate student Nigel Cottier,
who accepted an article, supports
the couple’s activism.
“The right of dissent is very demo
cratic and I happen to support their
position,” Cottier said. “I think it’s
very important that faculty involve
themselves in this kind of process.”
Unlike Cottier, non-admit student
Jeff Gau did not accept an article from
the couple because he said he is in fa
vor of the war. However, he has no
problem with Foss and Stahl’s actions.
“They’re holding a sign that’s not re
ally inflammatory, and they’re hold
ing out the pamphlets without push
ing anybody, so I don’t have a problem
with it,” he said. Despite the disinter
est of most passers-by, the activists are
not growing weary of their work.
“It’s a chance for us to be together
and watch people,” said Stahl.
Although they view the current
political climate as grim, activism
gives Stahl and Foss some comfort.
They said they hope to spur others
to become more politically vocal.
“We’re getting to be too poor and
too fearful as a people to stand up and
be sensible,” Foss said. “I think peo
ple aren’t going to do anything until
they realize ... that something dan
gerous is happening to America. ”

Is one of them yours? If you suffer from persistent mild to moderate
asthma, you know the frustrations of unexpected asthma attacks.
You know what if feels like to have difficulty breathing, to suffer
from shortness of breath and tightness in your chest, Maybe you ’ve
experienced wheezing, coughing or the impossibility of asthma free days
and nights. But right now, doctors are looking for new and
different ways to treat asthma.
A clinical research study is underway to test an investigational oral,
steroid-free, non-inhaler medication that may relieve asthma symptoms
and lung inflammation. If you are a non-smoker
between 18 and 70, and have any of these symptoms, you may be eligible
to participate. The study is not open to pregnant women.
