The Kaleidoscope is the official student newspaper of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. they are. Fraternity and sorority members may be familiar withthese terms, but for the ma|onty of UAB students the words are foreign. That is because only about 6 percent of UABstudents are members of a fraternity or sorority, according to Gina Willis, coordinator of university pro-grams/ Gretk affairs at UA13 Willis said that while the numbers are consid-erably lower than those ol traditional colleges, they are comparable to other nun-traditional col-leges.

Staff Writer By Kim Grissom The USGA Legislature approved Interfratemity Council President Scott McLeod's second request for funding to attend a conference in Atlanta at the Feb. 4 meeting Two weeks ago, McLecxi proposed an amendment to the winter quarter budget to attend the Southeastern Interfratemity Conference Leadership Academy Feb. 17- 20. He and Jason Cork, another IFC officer, were granted funds by the Legislature. Last week, President Bruce Taylor vetoed the action because it was against the USGA constitution, but said McLeod could submit another proposal. Friday, the legislature granted McLeod s new request, which didnot not include Cork. Taylor said the original problem withthe amendment was that it included someone else, not just McLeod. Being a USGA member qualified McLeod for funding through its constitution. Cork could not be included since he is not a legislator. McLeod said he plans to attend the conference as an individual, not as an IFC representative. He also said that Cork could not have applied for a travel grant because he did not know he would be going until after the November deadline. committee "Itmakes a difference that he is going as an individual, not as a representative of the IFC," said April England, finance committee chair "Itis against our constitution to fund Greek organiza-tions, " said Dangale Robinson, chair of the travel grant The total grant for McLeod was $362, which will include registration and accommodations for three days The upcoming USCA elections were also discussed during the meeting. "This year's election promotion willbe aggressive and harsh, " said Michelle Wallace, election commission man-ager. The USCA's stated goal is to have more than 6 percent of the student population vote. Inlast year's election, 697 out of approximately 10, 000 undergraduate students voted Legislator Henry Lovoy announced that a USGA-sponsored AIDS awareness seminar will be presented Feb. 10 in the HillUniversity Center Auditorium.

"Itjust started in November, so we've gone through one registration period so far," Putnam said. Jefferson State advisors work withtheir students to make them aware of the articulation pro-gram.

The problem is in setting The band represents UABin the same manner and should carry the same respect for the other team that other spirit groups do. The band is there to help cre-ate spirit, not to be cute for themselves. Our university is primarily made up of older-than-average college students. There is no need for our campus to come across to other schools as immature. It is simply not true. This type of comment may have been cute and acceptable in high school, but we are a university Our basketball team doesn't need the band telling the other team that they "suck." The team can prove that for themselves What if the Scoreboard flashed "Cincinnati Sucks" during the game? Many spectators would become would be outraged When such a statement Ls made from an individ-ual or even a small campus group, it can be over-looked, but when an large, organized group of stu-dents representing this university shows its immatu-ritythis way,it is unacceptable. What if the cheerleaders decided to perform a cheer intentionally degrading the other team? People a university, have no class "Yousuck." It's an offensive statement, but it occurs during every basketball game in the UAB Arena When the Blazers' competitors come out on the floor to be introduced, the band plays a cute little tune and spitefully tells the opposing team that they "suck." This behavior shows absolutely no sportsmanship The UAB Blazer Band represents the entire uni-versity. Such an uncouth statement shows that we, as The Alabama Statesman Band members need to clean up act at games America has gone downhill Racism not the problem By Wayne Morrissette AVecently,Ihave seen a very disturbing flyer (not again) that Ijust can't let go without at least a minor comment. ToMr Griswold, whom Iam pretty sure is the originator of the flyer in question, what in the world are you trying to prove? The flyer that you have been posting concerning "Racist censorship on UABCampus" was not only distasteful, but a perfect a example of whining cowardice. Who are you, Mr. Griswold, to claim that you represent African-Americans on this campus? You have noclue! You're just mad, disgruntled or whatever you want to call it because you were dismissed from the Kaleidoscope colum-nist staff. Grow up! Causing more divisiveness than is already pre-sent on this campus between the races is not only stupid, but careless. Howcan we have racial unity withpeople likeyou running around? You seem to be fighting for equal representation in the paper, which is fine, but telling bold-faced lies out of person-al bitterness is not the way to do it. It willonly cause an unnecessary uproar that willmake racial unity more impos-sible than ever before. "Any voice for the African American, Native American, Asian American, Arab American or Hispanic /Latino stu-dents has been stifled," is the most inaccurate arid ridiculous statement Ihave heard you deliver. Just because you can't write anymore doesn't mean that everyone else has been stifled. Once again, Isay grow up. Grow up and out of your "Iam the best assessment of your-self. Question: How many people from these groups have you known to apply for a columnist position at the Kaleidoscope? Iwas editor of Kaleidoscope summer and fall of 1993 and only three blacks applied for columnist, but zero Native Americans, zero Asian Americans, zero Arab Americans, and zero Hispanics/Latinos.Why weren't you complaining when you were on staff? The only thingthat has changed in the edi-torial section of the paper since you were a columnist is the fact that there is a new editor-in-chief and you are not here. Mr. Griswold, the next time you feel the need to go off half-cocked, gather at least one fact (preferably more) Before you do—itmakes you look smarter. By the way,Iam that one black columnist you spoke of in your flyer, and Iwrite about what Iwant to write about (Thank you very much). Ichoose not to write about politics because Ihate politics and not everybody wants to hear about that junk every time they pick up an editorial page. This is a college campus withdiverse needs. Some people want a break from politics and hear something they can relate to, something that willmake them laugh. If someone wants me to write about a particular social issue, they can surely write me a letter and ask me to. My abilityto read people's minds has temporarily leftme. However, Iwillbe happy to respond to any efforts to get my attention about certain issues Ineed to address. I'mhere for the people, not myself. It's a good policy to follow, Mr.Griswold. You*ought to try itsometime. ByKen Camp J /ike a fine wine that sweetens with age, so do our memories of the '60s ferment with effervescence. Without question, this period is one of the most embellished and roman-ticized in our nation's history. No one can doubt the positive accom-plishments of the era. Yet ironically, many of the attitudes which emerged in society have driven dreams of the '60s further from real-ity. The sexual revolution and its impact on attitudes towards women is agreat example of this. The desire for women to be thought of not as merely sexual crea-tures, but intelligent, competent individuals with much to contribute to society is one of the amiable goals of the '60s. Yet everyone knows what's happened to sexual attitudes The sexual revolution: Send letters to the editor to> Editor, M¦lalifciTirMia ¦ox 7« NIIC.

Warn cheers and stand en bloc to cheer, scream, dap, stomp and wave for the success of those hard-working and talented athletes we enjoy watching so much. So, coach, do you think you could use your influence withthe administration to finda way tu keep the UAB Arena staff from nipping UAB school spirit in the bud?

Imean, what does a girl think a guy isgoing to see in her, when on a date she wears a mid-thigh mini-skirt, pumps, a see-through blouse and a sports bra? Then at the beach she wears a bikiniwith a g-string! Guys do not need to be tola the effect this has on them. If only women knew. They think they're somehow exercising their sexual freedom. Yet their massive exposure of flesh and casual sex, combined withthe soft and hard porn of post-sexual revolution America is result-ing in men, especially teenagers, who think of women as, well, just body parts. Ifyou doubt women are less respected today, check out the latest stats on rape. Allforms of vio-lence against women have gone off the charts in the last 30 years. That's since this time. Casual sex has become the norm. Every date, every meeting on the dance floor now offers a potential sexual prize. The way feminists encourage and praise the new aggressive sexual attitudes of women baffles the mind. While instillinginto women the horrors of the masculine male sex drive, femi-nists push women to emulate these same attitudes and praise those who do as being "liberated." The only people liberated are the guys who want to get laid all the time. Women just have no idea the depth of deception guys can employ to make them think they're "differ-ent " All for the sexual prize. Women's new sexual aggressiveness has exactly the opposite effect on men's attitudes toward them. The impact of clothing, for example, has crumbled. It's so sad watching them at the clubs. They are dressed to kill,but deep down they just want love and companionship; to feel wanted for who they are, not for what look like. YetIsee the guys out there play their games; the only thing they want that night is to get laid. The restraints on the worst instincts of the male have been loosened by a society that has lost its sense ot right and wrong. This is the true sad legacy of the '60s. not the only thing off the charts. The rates of divorce, child abuse, teenage pregnancies, illegitimacy,AIDSand all kinds of other incurable sexually transmitted diseases have skyrocket-ed. I'm not saying these tragic facts are all because ofthe sexual revolu-tion, but they are indicative of a soci-ety whose moral foundation has gets itstarted. The Statesman deserves a chance to grow. It's founders didn't like what they read in the CW; and rather than sit around and complain about it, they funded and started a newspaper of their own. That is their right and burden. God help them. Itis impossible to present every perspective inone newspaper. No one paper should be expected to odds, though. The college newspaper business isn't easy. Several faculty members of the College of Communication at UAhave already gone on record (with the Crimson White) saying that the Statesman doesn't have a chance in hell of surviving. The first issue was rid-dled with spelling errors, and faculty say alternative newspapers usually come and go with the editor who Kaleidoscope wishes them luck. Not because we don't like the Crimson White—it's a fine, award-win-ning publication.

Much to the dismay of the Cincinnati Bearcats, it ended sooner than later. After making just 13-of-41 shots in his previous three out-ings, Shannon scored 21 points Saturday, making five three-pointers, as the 17th-ranked Blazers blasted 19th-ranked Cincinnati 83-67 in front of a standing-room only crowd of 8,907 inUABArena. It was the third-largest crowd in UAB Arena history and marked the first clash between two nationally-ranked teams in the building's six-year history. At one point, Shannon hit three three-pointers in a row, and turned to flash a smile at Cincy's fiery coach, Bob Huggins. Center Clarence Thrash outscored and outplayed ?

Hilyer saicf two of the state's best kickers, Vestavia Hills' Brian Wright and Berry's Jeremy Slimp, have announced their seasons. Banks, from West Jefferson High School, took the ACT test last Saturday and is considering offers fromUAB and Louisville, among others. Of UAB's 14 commitments so far, nine are offensive players. Defense willbe a priority in the Blazers' upcoming recruiting such schools as Mississippi State, Texas, Maryland and Georgia. The Blazers are in the running for tailback Thomas Banks, the state's "Mr. Football" for 1993 who broke most of Davis' state rushing records and became the first player in state history to record three-straight 2, 000-yard Blazers presented by: The Black Student Awareness Committee &Pan Hellenic Council ••Proceeds go to the Canille Armstrong Scholarship Fund- (JKEEK STEPSHOW COMPETITION Saturday, February 12, 1994 UAB Arena 7 p.m. (promptly) Hnp e r4 }MURDER MYSTERIES WIN -CASHPRIZES -T-SHIRTS -SQUIRT GUNS 100% AUDIENCE PAKnaPAnoN HILL UNIVERSITY CENTER GREAT HALL FEBRUARY 8 3 P.M. <*• A^ By Tim Stephens Sports Editor National signing day for DivisionIfootball was Feb. 2, but the recruiting season for the IJAB Blazers is far fromover.
