That the problem has gone this far, in spite of such well-reasoned and written arguments, without an acknowledg ment of dubious teaching methods demonstrated is unacceptable. And since essays on poor teaching have not worked, maybe a simpler, also ques tionable response will. Here, then, is a quick multiple-choice exam to help anyone still not sure what the fuss COMMENTARY isa,b°u, Th _ 1) I he phrase "The (School of Journalism and Communi cation] will not encourage or condone any illegal or unethical behavior" most likely means: A) Students, this means you! No plagiarism or vandalizing school prop erty. B) All meaning is relative, so who can say what is meant by condone? C) If given evidence that anyone in the SOJC, be they student, adjunct or faculty, has encouraged illegal or uneth ical behavior in our students, the school will ensure that person does not represent the school in the future. D) We're going to get rid of that rot ten Delta House if it is the last thing we do. 2) Ethics Week (April 29-May 6) taught SOJC majors what? A) A week is seven days. After that, it's a free-for-all. B) The first ethical rule is: Do no harm to anyone. C) One's ethical duty is to their em ployer, first and foremost. D) As long as it's creative, it's ethical. 3) The SOJC's attempt to explain away student ethical concerns about the Wieden workshop rather than offer any idea how it will prevent such problems from occurring in the future best illus trates which communication theory? A) The Third Person Effect B) Agenda Setting C) Spiral of Silence D) Wow. You could make an argu ment for any of these. Maybe Comm Theory was useful after all. 4) The course, Journalism 619 - leaching and Professional Life, is note worthy because: A) There is no such course. It's a red herring that keeps SOJC GITs off the streets one afternoon a week. B) It is required only of Ph.D. stu dents in the school, not adjunct or vis iting faculty. C) It reminds us that it's okay for a person in*a position of power over a stu dent to exploit that as long as they hope the students will make the right choice. D) All of the above. 5) Which of the following is not true of Dan Wieden? A) He is president of the nationally renowned advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy B) He is responsible for the (in)fa mous "Just Do It" ad campaign for Nike C) He is an alumnus of and donor to the School of Journalism and Com munication D) He is a licensed counseling psy chologist, able to help you get over your fears. And for an additional $29.95, he can read your tea leaves. Answers will be posted outside 310 Allen Hall during Finals Week, ifyou're not sure of them already. And, by the way, more than a few of us in the SOJC are sorry this has hap pened and hope it never does again. Randy Nichols is a graduate student studying journalism. Streaker defends J-school As much as you would like to make Tim Gleason your scapegoat, he's actu ally on your side. He told me directly that he would in no way support illegal or unethical activity of any kind. It's hard for me to grasp how that reflects poorly on the School of Journalism and Communication. Gleason expressly warned me not to break the law. 1 broke the law. I'm the one who ought to take the heat. I'd be curious to see what proportion of the population has been offended by my illegal act versus those who actual ly saw some humor in it. Just picture it: A naked guy sprint ing across the grounds of one of SCHMIDT continued from page 2A Neil Goldschmidt, who was sup posed to save the state's higher-edu cation system. We were the only pa per in the country to cover a speech by Los Angeles Times Editor John Carroll, a talk in which he blasted Fox News. Because of our reporting, news of his speech soon made its way across the country. We exam ined what hindered the process be hind the renovation of the Universi ty's art museum. Toward the end of the month, we began our coverage of the controversial Dan Wieden workshop. This month, we did a four-part se ries on students working to educate themselves while dealing with vari ous disabilities. We kept with the Wieden story, a persistence that may have forced the issue to be ad r COMMENTARY American society's most mod __ est estab lishments. If you don't see the humor in that — and cannot justify why the law I broke is valid — 1 recommend you sign up for the Wieden Workshop next spring, and in the meantime rent the "Cad dyshack" series. Maybe there's something I missed, but it seemed to me your editorial was quick to assume that what I did is un equivocally wrong on the grounds that it was illegal. Let's not forget that the "crime" of public nudity stems from a dressed. And we told you what the University hadn't — that the diversi ty vice-provost position was a stipu lation of a lawsuit settlement. In the process of the year, staff members have earned more than 30 awards on the state, regional and national levels. The paper's re designed Web site earned national recognition. The Emerald was named the best daily newspaper in a five-state region. As you can see, we've done our best to keep you informed of not only what you needed to know, but also of what others didn't want you to. It's been our pleasure to serve you this year, and it's my hope that you've enjoyed reading the Emerald just as much as we've enjoyed bring ing it to you.

While I apolo gized to the golfers for having to wit ness a sight so horrendous as my nude body, the crime is for the most part vic timless. I'm confident that the many old men I "offended" last Tuesday didn't lose any sleep in the days following the ille gal act I've committed. At the very least, I think I gave a few crusty dudes some thing more exciting than their birdie putt on the 5th green to rant about back at the clubhouse over their Tangueray and tonics. Joe Leineweber is a senior majoring in journalism. JONES continued from page 3A The disconnection 1 had felt was finally beginning to disappear. It's been a long three weeks, and my view of the workshop still stands the same as it did in the beginning. At the same time, my impression of Dan Wieden's char acter has greatly changed because of the genuine concern he showed for me and all of the stu dents on Friday. In comparison to last year, students received more attention and respect on the sec ond day of the workshop, making it a truly worthwhile experience. Not everyone has to agree with my viewpoint, but the least we can do is extend respect to each other, talk about what has hap pened and acknowledge we both have valid viewpoints.
