Mars, issued the same memo for that school.
Some on Marycrest's 1,400-student campus
in Davenport, 160 miles east of Des Moines,
are nodding their heads in approval. Others
say, "No Way!"
"I have a class from 1 to 1:50, so I don't take
10 minutes out then, but I take 10 minutes out
of my own schedule. I just kind of relax a lit
tle," said David Stedwell, an associate profes
sor of communications.
"It's a positive experience. I have to admit I
was not an experienced napper. I'm used to
coming in early and staying late. But I have
found the 10 minutes I take out of my sched
ule, I gain it back later on. I'm more re
freshed," Stedwell said last week.
Olander said it's OK to nap during class.
"I would like to encourage faculty who are
teaching during that hour to ask students sim
ply to lower their heads at their desks with
them and take a nap," he wrote.
Yeah, right, said Kim Brown, a junior from
St. Peters, Mo.
"Tm sure the professors are going to give up
10 minutes of their lecture for a nap," she said.
Does napping work for her?
"Absolutely not," Brown said. "I do the
bulk of my sleeping at night." As news editor
of the school paper, she is constantly on the
move. "I'm very busy, very stressed. For those
who have time for a nap, it's great, it's a good
refresher," Brown said. "But those who don't
have time, it's impossible."
Besides, she said, she doesn't dare close her
eyes during the day.
"I know if I would take a nap. I'd just be
sleeping the whole day," Brown said.
The school was founded in 1939 as
Marycrest College, a private women's institu
tion. Men were admitted in 1966.
More breast cancer research
needed, representative says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — U.S. Rep. Patricia
Schroeder and feminist Gloria
Steinem called Sunday for more
support for breast cancer research,
and Schroeder accused the Bush
administration of doing too little
to fight the disease.
"The reason we are losing is be
cause we are being too nice,"
Schroeder, D-Colo., told a rally of
about 4,000 people. She noted that
the federal government has OK'd
$1.9 billion for AIDS research.
Schroeder also blasted President
Bush for not supporting legisla
tion, eventually passed by Con
gress, to transfer $210 million in
defense spending for use in breast
cancer research. She said the mon
ey was to be used to set up "quali
ty mammograms" nationwide,
particularly for low-income
women.
The National Cancer Institute
estimates that women run a l-in-8
risk of developing breast cancer.
Schroeder and Steinem were the
featured speakers at the rally and
march, sponsored by the Massa
chusetts Breast Cancer Coalition.
On Saturday, Vice President Dan
Quayle's wife, Marilyn, was one
of the celebrity runners in a 5-kilo-
meter race in Dallas to raise mon
ey for the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation.

Town harasses homosexual man for planning private bed-and-breakfast
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ry. It's an O’
RUSSELLVILLE, Ky. - Jimmy
Cates, and the man he loves, have
become the scandal of his home
town.
For three years, residents were
content to gossip about Cates and
Jim Turner. But that all changed
when they learned of plans to
turn Cates' hilltop chateau into a
men-only bed-and-breakfast.
The homosexual couple have
become the subject of sermons,
harassment and death threats.
Now, Cates says he can never
go back — to his church, to
friends he grew up with or even
to his family.
"They're part of the persecution
against me now, everybody but
my real mother," the 39-year-old
Cates said of his estrangement
from his devout Methodist father,
his four brothers and two sisters.
Gay-bashing graffiti has been
spray-painted on the asphalt rib
bon snaking a quarter mile uphill
toward Cates' house.
Effigies have been hanged from
the oaks and maples along the pri
vate roadside.
"They've had their suspicions
all along about me," said Cates, a
cabinetmaker who was married
four times and has two daughters,
ages 11 and 18. He said he recon
ciled himself to his homosexuality
in 1989.
"It would have been OK if we'd
kept everything quiet, up here in
the trees and out of sight and not
brought in any more of 'our
kind,"' said Turner, 34, who met
Cates at a gay bar in Nashville,
Term., and moved in with him in
1989.
