Poll Question: Stripper Scholarship?
http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/09/09/offbeat.nude.tuition/
Quote:
(CNN) -- A chain of strip clubs is offering to pay tuition for co-eds who work as strippers -- and keep up their grade-point averages.
With classes beginning this week, a full-page color ad, featuring a voluptuous blonde and the promise "We pay your tuition," appeared on the back cover of The Lance, the student newspaper at the University of Windsor in Ontario.
"A girl who wants to better herself, who wants to progress, makes for a higher level entertainer," said Robert Katzman, who is recruiting talent for his adult clubs in Windsor and in Detroit, Michigan. "They're happier young ladies. They're doing something with their lives."
Katzman said his company will pay $1,500 to $2,000 in educational expenses per year to women or men who work three or four seven-hour shifts in his clubs. The money is on top of the $10 an hour that dancers are paid, in addition to cash they get from tips and private dances.
But there is a catch.
"They have to maintain a B or above average," Katzman said. "They have to bring in their transcripts and prove they got the grades."
About 20 of more than 200 dancers are taking advantage of the tuition program, Katzman said. They include women studying massage, nursing students and an engineering major from Toronto, he said.
"She catches a flight every Friday evening, works here until Saturday and goes back to Toronto [with] enough money to get by," he said.
Some students on campus said they find the ads in the student newspaper distasteful.
Jeff LaPorte, an officer with the University of Windsor's Students' Alliance, told The Windsor Star newspaper he planned to raise the issue at the next student government meeting. The college paper gets much of its funding from mandatory fees collected from students.
"I would rather see the student newspaper advertise where you can buy Levis at half price," LaPorte told the Star. "I would rather this business find some other way to recruit people."
But Katzman said he didn't see anything wrong with his tuition offer.
"My intentions are honorable," he said. "We put an ad in the paper. If they want to call, that's up to them. ... There's nothing wrong with topless dancing or nude dancing -- especially if you're progressing in your life."
Not like it's the most important issue to think about, but still...

Well, it would probably save some strippers lives in a way.
1 thing is, the "B"!! Thats messed up! It should be "Passing" in acordance with the school and state. Cuz thats just a loophole for them not to pay for Cs if you ask me.

Why would the strippers need good grades? The guys don't care about their intellect. If the stripper is hot and has a nice body, let them strip.

You don't get it. See, the strippers get money so they can study, as long as they maintain good grades. This way the strippers can get a probably much more rewarding job.

These are not professional strippers, who don't need degrees for as long as their careers last. These are people just trying to pay for school. College is expensive.
As to grades, don't most scholarships have a GPA requirement? People don't want to pay for a student who's just going to scrape by and not make the most of their education.

I guess Khaelo has a point.. (ppl who give grants want ppl to apply themselves)
I think, atleast 1 of those strippers will end up saving herself from prostitution or something.. Getting herself out of the *bad* scene perhaps.
ppl who are saying societies messed up, might b wrong.

I am involed in a very similiar program, but I find that I enjoy my philanthopic work by donating one single at a time. Granted it takes longer, but I feel the money goes to the right place if I feed the kitty myself.

Yeah I guess so and teachers to. But still a 3.0 isn't too hard to get.
Also for anyone who is considerig debate class, don't take it. I did that and I seriously regret it. Only take Debate if you love lots of homework.

Bs better than Cs? I've always thought men like Ds and DDs the most. How about girls with As? Aren't they self-conscious to strip in front of men who want Cs?

On a more serious note, I say: go for it. I see nothing bad about it. They'd have to pay otherwise. People would still wanna do it.
