Blessings . Maybe it is just sour grapes on the part of a sophomore who is carrying a heavy load this year—but I don’t think so. Many freshmen, and other students, are quickly becoming disillusioned with Selected Topics In Modern Science (still called Basic Science among the students). This year the work load required the science students is too heavy. The general feeling among them is that they are required to do the work of two courses in one. Next year the course will have to be revised, because this year there Is just too much work. For example, synthesis questions were due this week as well as the regularly scheduled computer lab work and assigned readings. When all three of these requirements count such a large part of the final grade, each must be completed to do well in the course. This Is too much work for one week. The science course has many Interesting sections of study and the computer work is quite Interesting, too. But, next year It should be given as a separate course. Sour grapes, maybe--but not on the part of most of the students. * * » Well, the science team made many new friends today when they presented their students with a pop quiz on computer programming. C’mon gang, are you for real? Fall Fling Follow-up BY CHARLES PRATT Last week's editorial, Fall Fling Has Flung, created a num ber of misgivings and misunderstandings. But the meaning should have been clear. The College Union Board must organize the weekend so that a variety of entertainment will be presented in accordance with the wishes of a majority of students. It must plan so that students need not organize independent functions outside of CUB activities. Tli(- Saturday night dance would not have been necessary had tlie College Union Board taken into account these special interests. And as a result of this failure to respond to their needs, and as a result of CUB’S compromise with them on timing, the rest of the student body suffered the prospect of gulping down or missing completely a steak dinner in the cafeteria, to be in the P.E. Building at 6:30, not to mention the additional cost involved in attending all the Fall Fling functions. But the concert itself was excellent, with a tasteful blend of every type of music imaginable. The Instrumental arrangements were beautifully interpretative, especially in Classical Gas and Wichita Lineman, Abraham, Martin and John. I enjoyed the concert, along with many others. It Is understood the CUB will soon take a poll of students interest on musical groups, with a follow-up poll on prices, and other factors involved in the final decision to select a group. This poll is to be instrumental in choosing the entertainment at Spring Fling. It is to the credit of the College Union Board that they are making an effort to determine student opinion on social activities. Hopefully, as a result of these inquiries, Spring Fling will not be the conflict of interest which was Fall Fling weekend.

Civitan Slave Sale and Raffle BY MARK KLEBER A well-attended slave auc tion and raffle sponsored by Civitan Club marked the be ginning of Fall Fling Weekend. Highlighted by Suzanne Den ham's sale for $12.50 and the exciting auctioneering duo of Rick Walker, and club presi dent Tony Fernandez, the slave sale netted $27. Other “slaves ’ purchased were Sally Neil, Mollye MacLeod, Kim Myer, Dele Durham, and Tootsie Russ. Next on the agenda was the raffle. The prize, donated by the Klwk Shop, of $6 of beer or $6 of merchandise was won by Win ston Hensley. Winston took the booze and quickly staggered a- way. The raffled netted $33, bringing the total Civitan pro ject earnings to $60. I, on the behalf of the Civitan Club, wish to extend my thanks to the KwIk Shop for Its donation, to the people who brought raffle tickets or slaves, and to the girls who participated as slaves. After this Initial successful project, the Civitan Club is op timistic about similar future projects. The money from this activity will be used by the club for the betterment of the school and community. Anyone in terested in Joining this worth while organization, please con tact Tony Fernandez or Denny Dodson. THURSDAY, NOV. 6.
