UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Newsstand ad offends faculty
Vivarin ad makes light of sexuality, professors say
By Novelda Sommers Kansan staff writer
A Vivarin advertisement in Fraser Hall was put to sleep this week after its controversial message started to generate complaints.
The ad said in large, bold lettering: "Stop sleeping with your professors."
Vivarin is an over-the-counter caffeine pill.
The ad, which was posted on a University Daily Kansan newsstand, went on to explain in smaller type that the pill could help tired students stay awake in class.
William Staples, associate professor of sociology, said he was offended by the ad.
Staples said he knew the ad was
supposed to be funny, but he did not see the humor.
"I don't think sexualizing the student-professor relationship is in anyone's best interest," he said.
Albrecht said the message exploited negative stereotypes.
"Anything that would make light of such a serious subject should have been banned from the University," said Sandra Albrecht, associate professor of sociology and director of women's studies.
"If you ask people what image they have, it is more common that people would envision that the student is female and the faculty member is male." she said.
Heather Barnes, Hutchinson senior and national ad manager for the Kansan , said that when she posted the ad, she didn't think it would offend anyone.
"I thought the smaller print explained the large print," she said. But Barnes said usually an ad that offended even a small number of people was not worth keeping.
She said the money the Kansan made from the ad was less than $8 a month.
