Home ec college plans new name Administrators hope change will retire stereotype By Mindy L. Leiter Staff Reporter What’s in a name? Plenty, when a college wants to change its image, the dean of the College of Home Economics said. Sick of the college’s “cooking and sewing” stereotype, Karen Craig said the home economics college wanted to invest in a new name — “College of Human Resources and Family Sciences” — as a way to promote its programs and attract new students. “It would help change the old stereotype,” she said. “Many of our major courses arc heavily tech nical and deal with human rela tions.” Craig said the new name would reficctthc diversity of the college’s curriculum. “I am hopeful that it would make the college seem more attractive,” she said. Other students do not take the college seriously and think there is “no academic rigor” in programs the college offers, Craig said. Other home cconom ics col leges have changed their names to re flect the diversity of their curricu lums, she said. “A lot of colleges arc changing to human resources,” she said. “I hope the name will reflect the role that our programs play in con temporary society.” The name change must be ap proved by the Academic Planning Committee; the NU Board of Re gents; Stan Liberty, vice chancel lor for academic affairs; and Irv Omtvcdt, vice chancellor for the Institute of Agriculture and Natu ral Resources. Craig said the college was hold ing its publicity brochures unpl the name change was approved. Students have responded posi tively to the proposed name, she said. “Students really think the name change is to their advantage,” she said. Craig said there had been no re sponse “one way or the other from faculty,” but said neither vice chan cellor had disapproved of the name change. She estimated the college’s name would change in the fall semester, but said she was hoping for July 1.

University Program Council No books = No clothes in Michigan ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — More than 200 University of Michigan stu dents celebrated the last day of classes by jogg‘ng « mile Thursday. In the nude. Most of the students running in the seventh-annual nude mile shortly after midnight were campus athletes. One man made the course on crutches. “This is a good study break,” said 23-year-old law student Karen Lib ertiny, who watched the naked jaunt. “I have a choice of looking at these men or corporate tax.” Runners wore lacrosse helmets, swimming caps, cowboy hats, viking horns and ski masks. Members of the Michigan crew, who claim credit for starting the mile in 1986, carried their oars. “I’ve seen it before, in pictures,” said student Stephanie Simon, a spec tator. “Fourg uys I ’ vc dated have done it.” The runners streaked single file before gathering on the steps of the Art Museum, posing for a photo and singing “The Victors,” Michigan’s fight song, before covering up. Classes ended Wednesday and final exams run through next week.
