LOUISVILLE (AP) ? The University of Louisville banned credit card solicitors after students were offered racially offensive and sexually explicit T-shirts during an on-campus promotion.

The shirts were given away last week to students who applied for a credit card backed by Bank One. A caricature of a voluptuous black woman, a Bank One logo and "10 Reasons Why Beer is Better than a Black Man" appeared on the shirts.

The reasons included "A beer can't get you pregnant," and "A beer doesn't yell at your kids." Others were sexually explicit.
