Expulsion called 'racist'
DURHAM. N.H. - University of New
Hampshire student-basketball player
Antonio Steadman accused UNH offi¬
cials of racism Nov. 7 for expelling him
after finding him guilty of beating and
sexually assaulting a UNH woman stu¬
dent In his dorm room.   ,
John E. Lyons Jr., Steadman's attor¬
ney, said the assault never took place,
that UNH's Conduct Board Ignored
evidence, and that officials were prone
to punish Steadman because he is Afri¬
can American and the victim Is White.
"I find It extremely unfortunate that
the case Is being portrayed In that light,"
said Barbara Brueggmann, .UNH's as¬
sistant dean for student affairs.

Frequent achievement
testing wrong — ETS head
WASHINGTON. D.C. - Making stu¬
dents take achievement tests frequently
Is like' pu 11 in g u p a carrot to see how It's
growlr.g." said Gregory An rig. head of
Educational Testing Service (ETS) at a
speech before the National Press Club
Nov. 14.
Anrig said he opposed new school
reform proposals to make all fourth,
eighth and 12th graders take achieve¬
ment tests because the time spent pre¬
paring students to take the tests could
be better spent "in valuable Instruc¬
tion" in the classroom.
President George Bush's Education
Policy Advisory Committee has recom¬
mended testing of all U.S. students in
fourth, eighth and 12th grade as a way
of measuring how good their schools
are.
Anrig's ETS owns a wide range of
standardized exams Including the Scho¬
lastic Aptitude Test
Now about something else people
realized remains an open question.
