Gen: Magazine articles of interest

[edward nizalowski <enizalowski@NVCS.STIER.ORG>]

Hello folks,
        I wanted to share several magazine articles that could be of use to
many of you.

"Higher Education" by Gary Smith  Sports Illustrated.  March 5, 2001
        This is about Perry Reese, Jr., a black man who became the
basketball coach at a high school in Berlin, Ohio, in the heart of Amish
country.  He overcame a lot of prejudice to build an excellent basketball
team and build community spirit.  His death from a brain tumor last year was
a severe loss.

"You Have a Choice" by Erin Zimring.  Teen. April, 2001
        Six girls age 19-20 reveal when they first had sex, why they did it
and their advice.  One girl, however, is still a virgin.  Except for one
girl, who is a bit more liberal minded, the advice is "Wait, don't do it,
it's not worth it."

"Fuzzy Math is . . ."  Mad Magazine  April (?), 2001
        Gives examples such as this:  You charge $1,000 stereo and pay $20 a
month without realizing that you will eventually pay $1,750.  Here's
another: you spend $2 in gas to go to a supermarket across town to take
advantage of a 50 cent coupon for frozen peas.  This could be a way of
teaching consumer education.
