Med student speaks on Grenada
Says danger during coup was genuine
By Andrew Thomas
Staff Writer
A medical student evacuated from Grenada after- the American invasion in 1983 said Thursday that students on the island were in danger during a coup that was interrupted by the invasion.
"Two to three weeks before President Reagan decided to intercede, you could see what was going on," David Arant said. "Fifteen and 16-year-olds were walking the streets with AK-40 machine guns."
Arant said Reagan did not order the invasion simply to get students off the island. He speculated that under American control, Grenada would attract more "industrial money" than under Communist control, and
the economy would therefore improve.
"Grenadans will probably benefit from the invasion," he said, adding he didn't think the United States would withdraw until a sympathetic government is established in Grenada.
Arant spoke to a small group of students Thursday in Topping Student Center in what was billed as "National Student Liberation Day,” a program sponsored by the Trojan College Republicans.
He is one of 89 medical students evacuated from Grenada who are touring the country on behalf of the College Republican National Committee. But he insisted at the beginning of his speech that his tour of California universities was not paid for by the Reagan / Bush campaign.
Arant, who attended St. George's University School <of Medicine, chartered a boat the day before the invasion to return to the United States. The morning of the invasion, he
said, he got up early, commandeered a car by threatening its driver with a machete and drove to the dock, only to find no one there.
At that time, he saw American paratroopers. He climbed up a hill to a house where he staved for four days, observing the invasion.
Arant,	called the inva-
sion "impressive," said he was not in as much danger as some of the students who were still at the campus.
"You don't have to have a gun pointed at your head, cocked and readv to fire, to know you're in danger," he said, after being asked whether he was ever in any real danger.
Arant said, "The Grenadans weren't after us; they had too much to worry about with our troops.”
But he said he witnessed incidents that convinced him his life was threatened. Arant said he not only saw uniformed soldiers (Continued on page 6)

Violent images of women affect aggressive men, professor says
By Carol Ann Coates
Staff Writer
Men who have aggressive tendencies are easily influenced by the violent images of women that are presented in the media, a UCLA professor of communications told about 50 people in the Annenberg School of Communications Thursday.
"The same factors that cause men to rape also cause them to commit acts of aggression toward women in other dating situations," said Neil Malamuth,
who has studied violence in the media for 10 years.
Cultural factors have a great influence on aggression against women, he said. One such influencing factor is the mass media and its role as a form of public display.
However, Malamuth said his research found that there is not a simple, direct relationship between society and the media.
Malamuth said there are two classes of aggressive men. The first are men who are rapists.
and the second consists of men who would have a high likelihood to rape if they thought they would not be caught.
A study conducted on men found that when viewing a scene containing violence only
—	without any sex — a certain percentage of the men became sexually aroused by the violence, he said.
The study of aggression directed at women differs from the study of aggression in general because of the unique portrayal of women in the media.
Malamuth showed an example from a science fiction erotica magazine in which both a man and woman had been shot. In the picture the woman was portrayed partially naked, but not the man.
Hustler magazine featured another pictorial in which a woman was gang raped in a pool hall while a crowd of men cheered, he said.
Six months later a woman was similarly raped in a pool hall in New Bedford, Mass. He said that many feminists attributed the cause of this rape to the earlier pictorial in Hustler.
Malamuth, on the other hand, said he has not seen any evidence to support this theory other than the same factors that make rape pictured in magazines arousing to some men.
Pornography should not be treated as a minor issue in our society, Malamuth said. The pornography industry earns profits which are greater than the profits of the movie and record industries combined, he said.
Comparing issues of Playboy and Penthouse magazines, Malamuth said sexual violence in Penthouse has increased, while it has declined in Playboy. He said that in Penthouse 8 percent of the pictures and 15 percent of the (Continued on page 6)

Associate business dean tells students of management idea
By Steven Church

Fitting jobs to workers is more important than adapting workers to jobs, said Steven Kerr, associate dean of faculty for the School of Business, in a campus speech Thursday.
Speaking to about 20 students in Grace Ford Salvatori Hall, Kerr said this theory of management is called situational leadership, and is being used in various forms in many successful companies.
Kerr said that over the last four decades, three types of leadership theory have developed: the trait theory, where leaders exhibit specific traits that make them leaders; the behavioral theory, where leaders display certain behaviors that make them leaders; and the situational theorv, where the "fit” between the leader and the situation is the most important.
"People don't like boring jobs," he said. "According to the trait theory of the 1940s, we would find people who enjoyed doing boring jobs.
"In the 1950s, the behavior theory says that we convince someone the job is really not boring. Now they use job enrichment, which has as its basis, the thought that if people do not like a boring job, (they) make the job less boring," Ken-said.
Such job enrichment programs include flexible hours, where an employee is allowed to work according to his or her own schedule, and the cafeteria wage system which gives workers different options with regard to raises.
By adapting to whatever the situation demands and making the job fit the person doing it, Kerr said productivity can be increased.
'The whole notion of society (in the 1940s) was to find the right person for the right job,"
Kerr said, but added, "There are no specific traits which systematically appear in good leaders.
"In the 1950s, the trait theory had given rise to the behavioral theory," which, said Kerr, encouraged managers to look for people who exhibited leadership behavior.

The university computing services department is moving to the Frank I King Olympic Hall of Champions to expand its services and operate more efficiently, said Susan de la Vergne, manager of Personal Computing Services.
The move, which began almost a month ago, involves transfemng all the consulting, training, documentation and computer services to the second floor of the West Dining Hall.
The department, moving from its location on the comer of McClintock Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard, will occupy approximately one-third of the square footage on the second floor of the dining hall, and will utilize SI 00,000 worth of new equipment. The other two-thirds of the space is reserved for Student Life programs.
The present "PC Lab,'' a room with 15 International Business Machine Corp. Personal Computers for student use, has been expanded to include 15 more new machines and a new projection screen. The room can also be used as a classroom.
Another room has been set aside to accommodate 20 main-(Continued on page 2)
