BELIEVE IT: PHILOSOPHER COMES TO UM
College students with inquiring minds want to know one thing: "What’s the meaning of it all?"
Philosopher Jim Sire, author of the provocative book Why Should Anyone Believe Anything at All? will help shed some light on the subject at 8 p.m. Oct. 16 in the UC International Lounge in a forum with the same title as his book.
The interactive discussion will feature Sire asking questions of students about the reasons for peoples’ beliefs and then uncovering the preconceptions that form the basis for those beliefs.
Sire will also tackle the philosophical problem of good and evil in his discussion “Why do GOOD things happen to BAD people?” at 8 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Wesley Center.
For more information on this philosophy lecture series, call 689-2626.

Don Ryce, father of missing Jimmy Ryce, spoke Tuesday in the Sigma Alpha Mu suite in the Panhellenic Building, where about 50 students attended the bi-weekly Interfratemity Council meeting.
“We have no one else to turn to,” Ryce said. “From the very beginning of our ordeal, it has been the people, the public, that have stepped forward and helped us. We’re going to have to do that again.”
Ryce asked the audience to pass on news of Jimmy’s disappearance, as well as flyers with the boy’s picture, to their fellow chapters across the nation.
Ryce said he wants to spread the word to other parts of the country, because the search for Jimmy has gone national.
“We aren’t asking you to post [these flyers] in South Florida anymore,” said Ryce. “For every day, the FBI tells us, a child is missing, you have to add 300 miles to the radius of where you have to look. Multiply that by a
month and you have some idea of where Jimmy might be right now.”
Ryce also expressed disgust toward the federal government. The United States does not have a program to help find missing children and their kidnappers.
“It’s harder to rob a 7-11 store and get away with it than it is to steal a kid,” Ryce said.
Ryce wants to change that.
“This is not going to happen to any other family the way it’s happened to us,” he said.
Ryce urged attendees to continue a fax campaign to the White House.
“It’s hard for me to imagine anyone that could disagree with the message we’re sending to the president," Ryce said.
Josh Cohen, Interfratemity Council president, invited Don Ryce to attend the meeting after receiving a call from a friend of the Ryce’s early Tuesday.
“My heart really went out to him and his family. It was really hard to run a meeting after he spoke," Cohen said.

Nursing
dean,
52, dies

Staff Writer
Tuesday, Judith Jezek-Anderson, the associate dean and an associate professor at the School on Nursing, passed away. She was 52.
Nursing School Dean Diane Horner said she knew Jezek-Anderson for about 15 years when both worked at the same university at Chicago. When Homer came to UM, she asked Jezek-Anderson to follow her.
“She was a faculty at a school that I was dean at in Chicago,” said Diane Homer, dean of the Nursing School.
Jezek-Anderson died of bone and liver cancer, a two-year condition that Horner described as "pretty widespead."
She was here in the office seeing students about three weeks ago. She coordinated our student registration.
Jezek-Anderson, like many associate deans and assistant deans at UM, found time to teach a course or two each semester.
“She thought leadership and management courses in nursing,” Homer added.
However, Horner said, Jezek-Anderson did not teach this semester.
“We at the last minute, changed that assignment," Homer said. “So, she didn't teach this semester."

Advertisements spark controversy
By LOUIS FLORES
Staff Writer
Women’s Resource Center Director Renee Dickens Callan wrote a letter to The Miami Hurricane Business Manager Robert Kerr letting him know she did not like an advertisement promoting a club on South Beach.
Callan wrote that the Oct. 3 ad promoted Club Madonna’s "simply sinful" dancers was stereotypical.
“In printing this ad, the newspa-
per is promoting the sales of pornographic material, and is reinforcing every negative stereotype our society holds about the objectification of women,” Callan wrote.
Kerr said that Club Madonna is free to advertise its services.
“Everybody has the right to advertise, and for Club Madonna, this is the type of audience it wants to reach,” Kerr said.
Kerr added that running Club Madonna's advertisements did not
violate the Hurricane’s guidelines.
"We are not selling pornography,” Kerr said.
Club Madonna General Manager Leo Mena said he does not think his establishment deserves any criticism.
“I don’t know why this particular women's group is condemning this particular situation,” Mena said, “because they should be defending it. Women have the right to dance

Vandals cut down NOW clotheslines

UM National Organization for Women member are reaching out to promote domestic violence awareness this week, and they are having their lines cut.
Jessica Garretson, a senior and co-president of UM NOW, said the string hung between palm trees on the UC Rock was cut the first two nights of the Clothesline Project.
“We have reason to believe they were vandalized,” Garretson said. “It could be because GLBC [Gay Lesbian Bisexual Community] wrote a letter to the editor about their ribbons being cut. There might be a connection.”
The ribbons and the clothesline were put up on the same night.
“I thought maybe that who ever was vandalizing it thought it was ' related,” Garretson said.
Students were outraged that someone would vandalize an awareness project about domestic violence.
“I think it is sad that someone would keep this form of expression, an opening of people’s minds, from occurring,” said Sam Eder, a freshman majoring in marine biology.
Junior Elizabeth Papasake reacted with surprise when she learned of the vandalism.
“I think they have no right. It’s not hurting anybody. If you don’t like it, go around,” Papasake said.
