The vote came after various pro- Arab students protested Meir had “caused the deaths...of thousands of Palestinians for over 30 years.” Both pro-Arab and pro-Israeli university groups were represented at the March 9 meeting. Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal reports that Jessie Schwade, a senior, call ed Meir a symbol of democracy. But Mazen Al-Armouti of the Arab Student Union accused Meir of genocide, and said naming the library after her would be “outrageous and trivial.” The debate over the name has been going on in various committees for over six months. The regents’ vote may not be the end of it. Al-Armouti said the library’s new name could persuade Arab countries to “withhold sending additional students” to the university. * ^ Short Budget Cuts Classes Bozeman, MT (CPS) — Students returning from spring break at Montana State University are going to find that some of the classes they’d registered for have fallen victim to budget cuts by the state legislature. The MSU Exponent reports that when the Montana legislature refused a sup plemental $720,000 budget increase for the university, it necessitated the cancella tion of 37 sections in seven different departments. Some 915 students had already signed up for the classes. About 16 part-time faculty members who taught the courses will be fired. Other courses were cancelled because the various departments delayed filling faculty vacancies until the budget questions were settl^. The legislature is cur rently considering a $344,000 supplemental appropriation — about $376,000 less than the original request — for the university. ★ ‘Draff Panics Campus Tacoma, WA (CPS) — Pacific Lutheran University distributes daily news sum maries to its faculty members and administrators each noon, but the one on March 3 was full of particularly bad news. Item one was that the Soviet Union had invaded China in retaliation for China’s invasion of Vietnam. Item two was that, as the result, the United States had commanded that all 18-to- 25-year-olds report to be called into the armed forces. According to George Behan of nearby Seattle University, “panic spread around campus.” Later in the afternoon, though, the embarrass^ administration issued an apology, explaining that the “news” items had been pranks. It was, however, too late for some students who had organized a dance in a PLU dorm, and had quickly given it a new theme of “The Last Chance Dance” when the phony news summary was released. Michelle's Surprise Michelle awoke early, filled with excitement! After washing her face and hands, she combed her hair and brushed her teeth. Next, Michelle got dressed and decided to go downstairs to fix breakfast. Mom sure will be surprised to know that I’m already up and fixing breakfast. “What should I cook,” she thought. The cabinets were full of all sorts of good things Michelle had eaten before and since she couldn’t read too well yet, she went by the pretty pictures and colors of the cans. Michelle decided to have peaches, applesauce and green peas. As she opened each can, Michelle became more and more excited when she thought of the look on mom’s and dad’s faces when they walked into the kitchen. She poured everything into a separate bowl. As Michelle looked around at what shehad done, she felt all warm inside. The smile on her face got wider and wider as she heard mom and dad coming down stairs. “Surprise” screamed Michelle as mom and dad walked into the kit chen. They all burst into loud laughter; hugging and kissing Michelle, praising her for what she had done. Mom prepared some more food to go with what Michelle had already prepared and they all sat down to breakfast. As dad said the prayer (grace), Michelle thought of how much she loved both of her parents.

The pressures around us cause our iimer tensions. We must all experience a certain amount of tension. No one has an “Ivory Tower life.” In fact a certain amount of ten sion can be helpful. This pressure is what makes one try harder or be more alert. When stress starts affecting one’s health or happiness then it has become a problem. Some of the symptoms of anxiety which are stress-produced are sweaty palms, pounding heart, ner vousness, loss of appetite, overeating, and trembling. When this state of anxie ty lasts for a long period of time one may be headed for bigger problems such as high blood pre^ure, ulcers, and certainly a strain on the entire body. There may be excessive weight loss or excessive weight gain. Stress may cause one to turn to alcohol. Many alcoholics begin this way. Change or sudden change is usually the cause. Some sudden change could be going away to college, loss of a friend, death of a relative or loved one, divorce or moving. Parents divorcing affects children; also unwanted pregnancies, illness, or failing on an ex am. There are many reasons. What can you do about it? Try to cor rect the problem if possible, if not try to accept it and live with it. Sometimes talking the problem over with a friend, minister, school counselor, nurse, or parents may help. Get plenty of exer cise. Teach yourself how to relax. Time your work and time to relieve some of the pressure. Try not to do all the big things in one year, like graduation, get ting married, new job, and buying a new house. If your stress is more than you can cope with see your family doctor or call your state or local Mental Health Association, which is listed in the yellow pages of the telephone directory.

One thousand pieces of English ivy, creeping liriope oak, and purple leaf winter creeper have been planted around the campus to cover ground around trees where grass wouldn’t grow, superintendent of buildings and grounds Jack Hassell said. At other points on campus, 12 flower ing crabapples, 13 red maples, 25 willow oaks, 75 dogwood trees and 150 slush pine trees have been planted. About ISO shrubs will be planted in addition to these plants, Hassell said. Most of the cultivating will be com pleted by mid-spring and finished by next fall. The estimated cost to com plete this continue beautification of the campus is $10,000, he added. The plans for this landscape cultiva tion were drawn in 1978 by landscape architect David C. Campbell of Norfolk, Va., Hassell said. “We are also planning to reconstruct the dam adjacent to Union Street into a second lake and thin out the under brush, as well as the tree limbs, in that area,“ he added. 7? CPS, % m 'Send Me No Flowers' Chowan Players Earn Bouquets Despite Title of Light Comedy “Send Me No Flowers,” a stage play in 3 acts by Norman Barasch and Car roll Moore, makes a play on and about hypochondria. The melancholic hypochondriac husband, George, is afraid he is going to die, and then gets his life so tangled up that then he is afraid he won’t! Staged by John Hawthorne; assistant director, Jean Sexton, setting by Joey Austin, Haywood Jordan and Mike Sex ton; Produced and directed by Mrs. Sandra N. Boyce — at the Chowan Theatre (Columns Building) ... April 4,5,and 6, 1979, 8:00 p.m. (Reviewed at -the first dress rehearsal, April 2.) The Chowan Players The Cast Judy Kimball Laura Askew George Kimball David Baker Vito Taghi Noktehdan Bert Greg Simpson Dr. Morrissey John Sullivan Arnold Nash Ken Boaz Mr. Akins Dan White Girl (Cupcake) Theresa Calfee Girl (Miss Mason) Benita Roberson 1st Man Joey Austin 2nd Man Bern Davenport 1st Woman Theresa Calfee The playwrights’ light, original ap proach to this contemporary comedy is quite entertaining. George seeks com fort, continually, in his, self-inflicted torinent. He tries so hard to enjoy ill health. The dress rehearsal audience chuckled and laughed throughout the improbable performance of these com ic scences. The entire action of the play takes place in the living room of toe George Kimball suburban ranch house. The time spans a late Friday morning to two days later, and then the following morning. George Kimball, played by David Baker, starts the action by worrying his chest pains of indigestion into what he diagnoses as angina pectoris, which he is sure will cause his death sooner of later. The play’s story line from this point on deals with George’s efforts, abetted by a solicitous — albeit somewhat in ebriated — neighbor, Arnold Nash (Ken Boas), to pave the way for a match with a suitable second husband for the ex pected widow Kimball-to-be (Laura Askew). However, George’s well-meant ef forts eventually raise a suspicion in Laura’s mind that he has another woman hidden away. This produces a confrontation bet ween husband and wife which leads to various complications before the even tual reconciliation at final curtain. The portrayals are commendable. George (David Baker) is realistic injiis pain, real or otherwise, with his hand over his h^rt. Spirit^ comely Jiidy (Laura Askew) will survive with or Assured Student Aid Announced by Bank A new service designed to assist students in need of financial aid to con tinue school or plan for graduate school has been announced by the Scholarship Bank. According to Steve Danz, program director, the new service will give each student a print-out of the scholarships, loans, grants and work-study sources available to him or her in that students’s specific field. Students apply by writing for and fill ing out a questionnaire which is then us ed as the key to the data bank. The questiormaire is like a mini-profile of each student, seeking information on year in school, major, occupational ob jectives, sex, religion, parent’s union, employer, and military service and stu dent’s oustanding leadership abilities, such as leadership experience or sports. The service is so toorough, ac cording to the director, that in the held of girl’s sports scholarships alone there are over 2,000 entries. The director also indicated that the Scholarship Bank is the only program that offers a full listing of all graduate and post-graduate scholarships which would be of interest to aU grad students and even faculty. The data bank guarantees that each student will receive at least $100 in aid or the service fee of $25 will be refund ed. Danz indicated that students unable to pay the $25 fee may receive a “basic” print-out of at least 15 scholar ships sources for $15. The $25 fee will give students up to 50 sources of possi ble aid. The data bank is up-dated daily with new scholarships and information changes in current scholarships. Due to the backlog of application, students should submit questionnaires as soon as possible. The service will also send each ap plicant a publication on “How to Play Grantsmanship”,-which will be of help to the students in applying for the aid. The Scholarship Bank cooperates with financial aids offices and does not duplicate their services, according to the director. Most financial aids offices give information only on sources that they administer. Write to Scholarship Bank, 10100 San ta Monica #750, L.A. 90067 for an ap plication. Enclose a stamped, self- addressed envelope and the required fee. without George, though caring very much that it be with him. Handsome, flamboyant Bert (Greg Simpson) is believable as Judy’s man — waiting in the wings — whom she doesn’t want. Bert is the sincerely likeable character who is fun to have around, but is anxious to get back to his own life. He wants to help casually, lightly, but his roots are not here. He is rich, but still has not found the lasting values he is seeking. Arnold (Ken Boaz) is the friend who tries to help, but is ineffectual. He will drink to George’s death or health — whichever! He just about worries himself to death worrying about George. The doctor (John Sullivan) is typical ly young, and gives forth the assumed attitude of the overworked. He thinks of vacations, and money, and just doesn’t realize George nee^ help, of some kind. The real hero is George. He struggles so hard because he is never in control. By nature he is a worrier, and worry begets worry. Health to him represente security, and he is insecure b^use it seems to be slipping away from him. Even when he thinks he’s dying, he’s trying to take care of his wife, who seems stronger than he. Two lesser roles were given solid per formances in support of the major characters. Dan White, as a cemetery lot salesman, gives a fine portrayal of an unctious, soothing con man in his deal ings with the distraught George. His two appearances on stage are notable. Veteran actor Taghi Noktehdan turns in his expected smooth performance as a dry cleaning delivery man who George feels would like to know Judy much, much, better than he actually does. Though this comedy is done in light vein, there is some underlying truth throughout. The course of love never runs smooth — especially if the hus band is a hypochondriac. Even amidst the funniest lines and scenes, love shines through — and is the golden thread that ties it all together — through sickness and in health. Mrs. Boyce’s skill and insight are masterfully understated in her produc tion of “Send Me No Flowers.” This is a memorable version, from first act to -Rose Drake’ Dance Music by Buster Sponsored by SGA Thomas Cafeteria 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. April 28 ' Studenf Opportunities We are looking for girls in terested in being counselors — activity instructors in a. private girls comp located in Hendersonville, N.C. .
