ley road conditions from
freezing rain which swept
over much of Michigan Sun
day are being blamed for US
traffic accidents in the Mount
Pleasant area.
The Isabella County
Sheriffs Department was
kept busy answering 13 traf
fie accident calls in the 90
minute period between \0:110
a.m. and noon Sunday, said
Deputy Dan Denslow.
"Most of the injuries suf
fercd were minor." he said.
Three of the reported ac
cidents  were caused  by  slick
highway    overpasses    across  __ _
U.S. 27."
The bridges become slicker w hen enld air hits the hot Inm o|
the overpass and produces a layer of ice from moisture on (up
of the bridge.
"The flow of air underneath t hi- freeway passes makes the
roads that much colder." he said.
Area wrecker services were busy wilh the e\tra activity
generated by the weather.

Saving the Women's Stuoies minor from the administ r.cl iv e a\.
the Academic- Senate voted last Tuesday against I'rmvmst John
Cant clou's recommend at ion to eliminate the- program.
The proposed program delet ions, of w huh one of t he I f> slated lor
deletion has actually   been deleted so f.ir. are part of a  I'niversity
wide effort to eliminate low  priority programs in order to allocate
more money to high priority programs.
Speaking in favor of retaining the program. Martha l.ogsdon.
assistant professor of political science, said the- four year old pro
gram has had high enrollment and doesn't cost the I'niversity any
money .
"This program costs not hirn; but the six inches of copy in the
Hulletin." l.ogsdon said.
l.ogsdon added the minor is important "symbolically." especially
since "the Affirmative Action Program on the national level has
fallen out.
"We've been talking like we're committed to equality, to affirmative action,
yet we're talking about eliminating this
(women studies) minor." — Martha
Logsdon, assistant professor of political
science
"We've been talking Irke we're committed to ei|ualilv. in affirmative action, yet we're talking aboul eliminating this minor." she
said, adding, "to slop backing this women's minor is to give the
wrong message loCMC students."
Saying he had "heard some students have been lold not  to take
the   minor"   by   advisors   in   the   Women's   Studies   minor.   .J.,hn
Monahan.  associate  professor  of  psychology, .piest ion.-d   Logsdon
about the issue.
