Santa Cruz students want slug as mascot
United Press International
- SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - Students at the Santa Cruz campus of the University of California are voting on a school nickname the Banana Shup
The last time the move was afoot, Chancellor Robert Sinheimer ignored overwhelming student sentiment for the slimy creature and decreed the Sea Lions as the school mascot.
The students have been slow to drop the idea, however, popularizing the cheers of "Go. Slugs" and "Slime em 'Slugs' at basketball games. A new campus referendum began this school mascot, began this week.
"The banana slug is sort of a symbol of Santa Cruz's uniqueness, rather than something more conventional like the
Fighting Tigers," student government leader Eric Satzman said.
The fat yellow slugs are common in the cool, wet coastal forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The chancellor was steadfast in his opposition to the university's adoption of the lowly gastro肠.
"As a symbol of our athletic ambitions," he pleaded in an April 10 letter to the school newspaper, "consider that the banana slug is; cowardly, sluggish (slow of foot) and slimy (enough said)."
But economics professor David Kaun sided with the students. He said it shows they want to keep their jobs and get money from fun compared to their studies.
"The University of Georgia would never think of calling its high-paid players the Banana Slugs," he said.
School leaders criticize racism on Iowa campus
United Press International
IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa administrators and campus leaders called for an end to harassment of Arab students after reports of verbal abuse and threats since the U.S. bombing of Libya last week.
'The Arab Students' Association and the General Union of Palestinian Students also said many members and their friends had been harassed and had received physical threats after the bombing raid April 14 and a protest rally at the university the next day.
Students with Arab features rather
The University Collegiate Associations Council issued a resolution this week stating that the April 15 rally spawned an outburst of racism and subtentiment against the roughly 20,000 Arabs attending the university.
The resolution called on students to avoid discrimination against any group and urged the university administration to take a strong stand on the issue.
than political activists were the most frequent targets of abuse, said Farshak Wail of the Arab Students' Association.

Hundreds of demonstrators blocked entrances to medical centers and research facilities across the country yesterday, demanding an end to the use of animals in what they called cruel, often outdated, sometimes useless and even absurd scientific experiments.
CHARISMA
About 150 demonstrators were arrested, most in California and all on minor charges such as disorderly conduct or blocking public passageways. There was no violence reported.
through downtown carrying a coffin and chanting anti-vivisection slots.
Officers arrested 10 of about 35 protestors who blocked the entrance into the New York University Medical Center in midtown Manhattan. They wore masks and gory photographs and urged "Stop the torture, close the lab!"
It was in Tampa on Wednesday that Zachariah P. Zachariah, president of the Florida affiliate of the American Heart Association, said animal research played a major role in the 28 percent decrease in death due to heart disease between 1972 and 1982.
His organization was one of 13 voicing support of animal research at the University of South Florida.
A Washington-based group called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans demonstrations next week.

Lori Gruen, research director for the group, said PETA was helping set up 'conscience camps', $^{10}$ the first space camps for animals, around the country.

They also demanded assurances that students opposed to the use of animals won't be forced into such orchids.
Jan Jasper of the Human Animal Liberation Front said some of the experiments are blatantly ridiculous — such as an instance in which male hormones were given to female animals whether they could sing like males.
Most demonstrations were organized by a g.pup called the April 24th Coalition, which is demanding the right to make unannounced inspections of research labs, the phasing out of animal research, and the immediate end of the use of abandoned pets for experiments.
In Tampa, Fla., 75 people carrying placards and chanting marched
"Some of the ridiculous experiments they are doing on cats," he said. "They test repeatedly to prove what has already been proven, that animals addictive, that maternal deprivation is detrimental to an infant."
Police arrested 33 people in protests at University of California campus in Berkeley and San Francisco. The officers arrested the at UC campus in San Diego.
"We are really trying to be responsive to the group," a UC administrator said at the Medical Center. "We do feel we have to be
