Class teaches self-defense
By BRIAN VON BEVERN

Night classes are a pain, she thought as she hurried across campus, especially when the door was closed. Her others would leave without her. She decided to go out to Rutter Lake, to get back to the house sooner.
She never got there.
"I'm worried about the number of women who think long fingernails are an adequate defense against attacks," Tina Gardner, Lawyer against junior and martial arts injuries.
That's why she and her husband, Joe, plan to hold a self-defense course for women, nicknamed "MUG-A-THUG", 8 to 10 a.m.
Saturdays in the Robinson Gymnasium, starting in February.
THEY WILL give a demonstration one technique women can use to escape attackers at 4:30 tdonight the Audiotour Dilham, and they give a demonstration by the K11 Game Ft. Club.
But the course, they said, is not just for martial arts enthusiasts.
"It's not what you would do against a trained martial artist," she said, "but against choking, bearugs, knives, broken bottles or clubs.
Both Gardners are associated with the club. She is vice president and he is secretary. Both have been interested in the martial arts for several years.

"It's not a structured martial arts course. What we're dealing with is street fighting, and that's completely different."
"Nothing we do requires a great deal of strength. We teach students to handle attacks themselves, not themselves. Some of our students are five feet tall and weigh less than 100 pounds."

"They were not suited to be used by women or small people," he said.
He started it, he said, because he could find no other course that he considered effective.
"Don't be deceived by the title," he said. "It's open to anyone who is old enough to take it on yourself." The course is basically a self-defense course, and the techniques are applicable to

although some students became more motivated as their education progressed.
Tina said, "We teach people how to avoid dangerous situations, and how to escape dangerous situations if they're unavoidable.
He said any test had its drawbacks, but overemphasis of scores was the most serious problem.
Academic institutions using standard entrance examinations to predict scholastic success may be relying on an aerospace-based robot, or a random process, such as rolling dice.
Six said she had noticed that middle-aged persons who wanted to return to school seemed to do well on the entrance ramp because they required skills increase with are she said.
Such tests are culturally biased and predict no better than blind chance how a student will fare in future studies, access to information, or be trained by Rahib Nader, consumer advocate.
For example, Six, said, a white, middle class student often had learned many things that a poor, Spanish-speaking student had not.
"Test scores shouldn't be used to predetermine who will get an education from a school." Ms. McIntosh scored as a cut off point—saying, 'I'm sorry, you can't understand because you gave 1414 to me.'
MEYERS AGREED that the tests were probably culturally biased.
University of Kansas officials said that other criteria also were considered when a student applied for admittance to the University.
JOHN MEYERS, director of KU audits, said that the tests were used inappropriately, but that KU included other criteria in its evaluation of applicants.
Value of test scores questioned
"But then, college is culturally biased," he said.
"We don't use test scores mainly for admissions purposes at KU." Meyers said. "We're not religiously—if you don't have a certain score, an x number of points, you don't get
Students with any test score can be admitted to KU, Meyers said, and most people who apply are admitted.
The report criticized corporations such as the Educational Testing Service. ETS produces entrance examinations such as the SAT, LAST and other tests.
"Test scores are used as another tool in advising, counseling and placement more than in admissions." "Mewers said.
FOR EXAMPLE, a student with lower test scores would be advised to take a lighter class load, he said.
The report said tests accurately predict first-year grades only about 12 to 15 percent of the time, looking at both test scores and previous grades raised the level of accurate predictions.
Six said, "You can't compose a test that is fall-safe. Some things just can't be measured in a test—like creativity."
DOD Michal, associate professor of education, said the point of the tests was to get a general idea of the kind of academic performance to expect.
Lilian Sik, director of admissions for the School of Law, said KU considered not only test scores and grade point averages, but also the difficulty of the applicant's earlier education.
SIX SAID that how much motivation the students had, not just how well they did, also was important.
Did the students take hard or easy course? Did they pursue it? In what action were they involved? Did they hold any leadership positions? All these factors are concerned.
Michal and Meyers both said that generally students' performances did not improve throughout their school years,

"I went to all of my professors and I told that I would be enclosing late and that I would be sending them back to the assignments and homework to catch up and they said they would be glad to have no problems."
ACCORDING TO Todd Seymour,
president of the Endowment Association,
some Iranians with jobs have been given loans.
"It really has nothing to do with their being Iranians or anything else," Seymour said. "It really depends on their ability to repay the loans. That's all it amounts to."
