First off, this is the 14th birthday of my niece, Kabagunga. Happy Birthday to her...Incidentally, today I was part of a group doing a TV production exercise in a three-day training conducted by three 'dons' from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. It focused on the banning of miniskirts and tight-fitting trousers or other attire at the Makerere University campus
Our group, which we dubbed the Dream Team was able to finish the filming and back to the course venue within the stipulated time. Unfortunately, during the playback, we realised that we had [or the person that held the camera at that time] has accidentally deleted a big part of our footage. However, we were able to make the best of what we had. Dream Team indeed! As the director of that TV production, which we gave the catchy slug Miniskirts, Tights and Sex [wow!], I give props to my team: Colin (Producer/Interviewer), Safina, Josephine (Camera-persons, as they told me they want to be called), Teopista (Writer), Joseph, Hafisa (Reporters). This course marked the high point of the week for me.
On the other hand I have to highlight a few responses to the proposed ban of "sexiness" at campus [UCU has done so], that reflect what I feel about such measures. One says that this a treatment of symptoms, the other feels that it is a distraction from management headaches. Personally, I believe that if this is not another sensational story on Mak, then it is unneccesary. This is becaus the university already has a sexual harrassment policy in place to take care of those who may want claim feamle attire as the reason for their acts.
In light of this, I wonder what Kabagunga would think of this? If she were to join the varisty this August, when the ban supposedly takes effect.
