Misbehavin' 101
By Rebecca Winters
MICHAEL MOORE is giving back to those who give lip. The rabble-rousing filmmaker created two $2,500 scholarships for "standing up to the administration" at California State University at San Marcos. When the school's president canceled Moore's planned talk there last fall, deeming him too "political" for campus, students protested and raised the money for an off-campus engagement themselves. The action inspired Moore to reward "a little bit of rebellion" there annually with cash, he said. Talk about inflation--in the '60s, kids rebelled for free.
