(OCR) - OODDLES OF OOZE covered
Arizona State University students in
their annual volleyball-in-the-mud
tournament held during orientation
week. Getting covered with mud is the
whole point of oozeball: sticky, warm
mud squishes between theeir toes,
splashes into their faces and gives all
students something in common: They're
dirty. Cleanup consists of outdoor, co'ed
showers.
SHALL WE DANCE? The answer is a
resounding "Yes!" for college students.
And they're learning dances their parents
and grandparents would recognize -waltz,
cha-cha, rhumba, foxtrot, tango and
more. Last fall the U.S. Amateur
Ballroom Dance Association helped form
about 30 teams at universities„
including Notre Dame, Indiana, Illinois,
Catholic University and Berkeley.
Teams meet in competitions But not all
dance teams are new: Students at
Brigham Young University have been
cutting a rug for years.
RIDE SERVICE ISN'T JUST FOR
WOMEN ANYMORE. "Woman's
Wheels," the University of Illinois,
Champaign-Urbana, nighttime ride
service has begun to offer rides to men
too, following an increase of attacks
against males during the last academic
year. Organizers say the revammped
program, renamed "Niterides," also
insures that the service is not
discriminatory.

DEMAND FOR NURSES MAY BE
UP , BUT... their ability to get
through school quickly is down,
according to a report by the American
Association of Colleges of Nursing.
Nursing students are taking longer to
graduate because they're less likely to
receive financial aid- and maore lidely to
work while attending school.
GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS. The
good news" the surgin in college costs is
over after ten years. The bad news:
increases still outpace inflation. A
College Board survey reports that
average tuition this year at for-year
schools is sB737(private) and $1694
(public, in -state) while two year
comunity colleges cost and av'rage of
$842.
ANTI-BIAS RULES: SUSPENDED AT
the University of Michigan, ON
TRACK AT the University of
Wisconsin. In August the University of
Michigan suspended its andi-bias policy
after a federal judge ruled the measure
was unconstitutional. Meanwhile, a
similar University of Wisconsin policy
has gone into effect. It prohibits
"comments, epithets or other expressive
behavior directed at an individual" if it
demeans the person's race, sex, religion,
color, creed, disability, sexual
orientation, national origin or age, or it
creates a hostile environment on
campus. Meanwhile, the ACLU is
preparing a lawsuit.
