IU to face battle with anti-abortion group

■ U.S. District court will

against university.

(U-W IRE) BLOOM ING­
TON. Ind. - A U.S. District
Coun judge in Indianapolis will
hear arguments in a civil rights
lawsuit filed against Indiana
University by the Center for
Bio-Ethical Reform.
The suit was filed after the
University restricted the Center
from setting up the Genocide
Awareness Project, a display of
images depicting aborted fetus­
es, in the area behind Woodbum
Hall.
The Center, based in
Mission Hills, Calif., attempted
to bring GAP to IU last April.
Gregg Cunningham, director o f
the C enter for Bio-Ethical
Reform, said the visit was can­
celed when the University
denied a request to set up the
display in the field behind
Woodbum Hall. Instead, the
University asked that GAP use
Dunn Meadow for the two-day
presentation.
“ IU is the first school
where we could not come to an
agreement about where to set
up the display." Cunningham
said. “But the University will
not even negotiate with us.
They have taken the position of
go to Dunn Meadow or go to
- Cunningham
"Jan has been advising us
and it was just the luck of the
draw that it ended up in her hus­
band*! court** said Kipty Drew,
associate University counsel.
said the
rescheduling forced GAP to
again put off coming to IU,
which it had planned to do this
week.
I ’m not sure what the
University*! motive was but the
case was reassigned and
rescheduled.** he said. “Now it
is much more likely that we will
come for a much longer period
o f time than originally
announced. Depending cm the
outcome (of the suit) we may be
forced to reach the University
community using approaches
that would not have been our
first preference.**
At thbdgaring. IU and GAP
will have the chance to present
their cases. Drew said because
the Center for Bio-Ethical
Reform filed a preliminary
injunction, there was exchang­
ing of paper* or taking of depo­
sitions on (he pan of both sides
involved. The judge will then
make a ruling or take the case
under advisement.
Drew said she doesn't
expect the judge to make a rul­
ing in favor of one side tomor­
row. Both sides win have the
option of appealing any deci­
sion to the 7th Circuit Coun of
Appeals based in Chicago.
Cunningham called the
Woodbum Hal! area a place that
is “commonly used for First
Amendment activity** and said
th e( area Is also preferable
because it attracts two and a
half times the traffic of Dunn

■ Exit poll of secondary students at
Children's Museum debate reveal
they would vote for Andy Homing.
By W a rre n S o b a t
CONTtlMTING W in «
While Joseph Lieberman and Dick
Cheney were girding their loins for battle in the
Vice-Presidential debate last week, a debate of
a different sort was being conducted at the
Indianapolis Children’s Museum.
Gubernatorial candidates Andrew
Homing. Congressman David McIntosh, and
Governor Frank O'Bannon met in front o f 285
students and teachers from local elementary,
middle and high schools. Also included among
the questioners were four schools from
throughout the state linked to the auditorium
by satellite.
And what resulted may be one o f the most
informative debates that will be conducted for
this election season.
Students fired questions at the three can­
didates for one hour. Education was the order
of the day in opening statements as each candi­
date expressed his views on the current situa­
tion and the future o f Indiana's schools.
Apparently the students had other agendas.
The first question w as whether candidates
favored a moratorium on the death penalty.
O'Bannon. the Democratic incumbent, and
McIntosh, the Republican hopeful, did not
favor such a m oratorium, claiming some
crimes justified such a reprisal.
H oming, the Libertarian contender,
favored such a move and had in fact already
called for the cessation. While some chines
may justify capitol punishment. Homing said,
the poor are disadvantaged in such cases, and
under the current system, such punishment is
“based on vengeance.**
Students loved Homing's reply to the
question “why do you want to be governor?**
asked by a student at S t Patrick's School. The
Libertarian flatly stated, “I hate politics."
In an informal exit poll conducted by
teacher Christy Chappell of her Decatur
Central High School students. Homing won
with 37 percent, followed by O'Bannon with
29 percent. McIntosh brought up the rear with
22 percent. Six of the students didn't respood.

‘Titans’ presents a black and white world

■Bruckheimer goes for
a film with more social
meaning, but in the
process forgets why we
love him: Exploitation.
EvrmuMttxT Eonot
Remember the Tuans is the
third offering this year from
producer Jerry Bruckheim er It
follows Gone in Sixty
Seconds and Coyote Ugly,
each of which were
unashamedly promoted and
accepted as purely visceral eye-
candy. or popcorn movies.
The popcorn movie in a PG-
13 exploitation style, a style
defined by sanitized versions of
edgier fare of 1970s cinema, is
what Bruckheimer does best,
but with Rem em ber the
Titans it appears he may be
attempting a step in another
direction; but ts this move good
producer himself?
T iu n s would like to be
something monumental, impor­
tant. thought provoking and
maybe even a catalyst for dis­
cussions on racial tensions that
exist in America today.
At first glance Remember
the Titans ju st m ight have
what it takes to sp^rk discus­
sions about how far we vc
come in terms of race relations
since the days of segregated
schools, buses and water foun­

film is set in the Civil Rights
era. and features Oscar-caliber
leads. Upon closer examina­
tion. however, it is no more
than a huge, glossy compro-
with ignoring problems than it
is with challenging those issues
society.
The story concerns a Virginia
high school that is undergoing
desegregation in 1971. The
action comes when a black
man. Hermann Boone (Denzel
Washington), replaces white
head coach Bill Yoast (Will
Patton). The wealthy while
males of the city are against the
black man working in a position
above the white man. and the
kids who muft now integrate in
order to play ball are particular­
ly suspicious and resistant to
playing with one another.
In the hands of a more politi­
cally and socially challenging
director or producer
Remember the Titans may
have turned into a story o f what
needs to happen in order for
black and white American cul­
ture to come together. But in the
hands of Bruckheimer and
director Boaz Fresh Yakin.
Titans develops into a series
of pat answers as to why race
relations arent so bad in the
goodol U.S. after all.
While the film may be bean-
warming and a good movie for
the whole family, it lacks hon­
esty. The movie may be based
on a true story, but the way in
which the events are presented
can only be fabrication.
Several scenes in the film are
presented to elicit a response,
but seldom do these scenes pro­
vide a realistic resolution.
After football boot camp,
where most of the black and
white players become friends.
the team s black leader. Julius
Campbell (Wood Harris) intro­
duces him self and offers to
shake hands with Gerry (R yan.
Hurst) Bcnier s girlfriend. She
refuses, and all the audience
Sees is a dejected look on the
black boy s face and an apolo­
getic look on the white boys
face. The event is never dis­
cussed or addressed until the
end of the film when, after
Berber is put in the hospital due
to a car accident, his girlfriend
magically appears and offers
her hand to Julius. O f course.
Julius accepts this without
question. But should we?
In another instance, a brick is
thrown through Coach Boone s
window. Before the audience
gets to see the effect such an
event has on Boone and his
family we cut to another scene,
and when the film brings the
brick back, it is to demonstrate
that sticks and stones and what­
ever else cannot hurt Boone;
but is this true?
Rem em ber the Titans is
swiftly paced, offering engag­
ing performances, and a solid
director who is not afraid to use
pure cinema to tell a story. It is
very easy to get caught up in the
events because one wishes it
were so easy lo unite two cul­
tures that continue to grow fur­
ther and further apart in their
world views.
The Disney aspect of this
picture is clear make everyone
feel like everything is just fine.
Unfortunately, race relations in
the 1970s and race relations
today, are not that easy, and Mr.
Bruckheimer would do well to
keep his hands off o f the
important films and continue
to exploit planes, babes and
automobiles. After all, it s what
he does best.
