Rand Calendar food SepficBS Committee Looks
We have received word that
some people on campus ‘don’t
particularly care for Poiyt, it
cuts a bit close to their hide
and has made a. few people
uncomfortable about their con
duct, Perhaps students who
are afraid that they may at-
■tract attention might question
their actions, if they see Poiyt.
All we can say is this - no
one in government likes to see
his name in Drew Pearson’s
■ column either - but they read
it to see if it is. So one time
while your restin’ —
Miss Carter says her family
tree is full of heretics.
Constable Downing received
a standing ovation from the
men’s dorms, on Sunday a week
ago, to show their appreciation
for his efforts in their behalf.
There is no excuse for humil
iating a man when he is act
ing under orders from the Dean
of Students. At least Ralph
knew how to take the insults,
with a salute and a magnani
mous bow.
Roland Shaw had a $25.00
radib, and a Siamese, fighting
fish, in goblet, in his room all
on one shelf. A theft occurred,
not the radio or the goblet,
just the fish.
Ray Talton is doomed to seven
years bad luck - hey Joe,
where’s your mirror?
Pick on Nishimoto Day was
a success.
We understand that A1 Hornek
is so affectionately attached
to some co-ed that his B. B.
is suffering.
“Jungle Julia” hits the vines
again, this time in search of
mistletoe.
Comment on the last Religion
test has it; Jahweh couldn’t
have done it!
Peabody’s will open again
next semester in a new lo-
c ation.
If you really feel Uke blow
ing someone’s mind ask Joel
Martin who Pat Finch is.
Speaking of who’s who ask Pey
ton about A1 Millika^i.
‘We’re sorry for bringing up
old news but please bear with
us. Steve DeArm and Omar
Dutz give their deepest apolo
gies to Stu Ridout, alias birth
day boy, for telling him to re
frain from running around in
his fruit of the looms - they
were B. V. D.’s. We always
thought that Doug Cook would
stick his foot in his mouth
someday. Seriously Doug, nice
foot!
Where has Marty gone to?
Things are getting tight in
the new pad, Butch Pindell had
to shoo the mice out of his
bed the other night. Tom Dick
inson’s (Sugarbear’s) new
theme song is “The Jallhouse
Rock”.
AS our poiyting note we wish
to finish on a high leveL We
wish each of our readers a
very merry Christmas and the
best of luck in the New Year.
P. S. (POITY SECONDS) - Ed
itor Tom Mowbray is happy for
the little things in life.
Curfew for resident women stu
dents of Harpur College has
been discontinued, except in the
case of freshman women. The
new policy, effective this year,
was laid down by the Council
of State University of New York.
At its regular meeting in June
the Council approved a modi
fication of curfew regulations
by accepting the recommenda
tions of the HousingCommittee.
The Housing Committee con
sists ofprofessional staff mem
bers concerned with residence
halls operation, and several
students. Mrs. Mary C. Rich
ardson, associate dean of stu
dents, is committee chairman.
The committee also made de
tailed recommendations for se
curity of the residence halls,
proposing that electric locks
activated by a “key card” be
installed, or that keys be is
sued to all sophomore, junior
and senior women. The com
mittee also proposed a sign-
out procedure under which a
woman student leaving the cam
pus overnight would leave an
envelope that cpuld be opened
in the event of emergency, giv
ing her destination.
Interviewed On
Life In Venezuela
Last week The Decree was in
troduced to a student at Wes
leyan that is visiting America
for his education. No he is not
a foreign exchange student but
he and his family are “real”
Americans, whatever that may
be. When talking with fresh
man Rand Calender the Decree
quickly learned something for
perhaps the first time. During
the summer Rand returns home;
a return trip of thousands of
miles. Calling Bogato his birth
place, Rand has lived for six
teen years in Pueto Orda,
Venezuela.
Although speaking fluent
street Spanish Rand’s parents
have sent him to American
schools since seventh grade.
Each summer he returns to
his first home at the start
of the Venezuelan winter. Bot-
anically lush, the temperature
averages around 70 degrees
which, he noted, produces other
lush items.
“Kids physically mature
much faster”. Rand’s first
hand observations are accu
rate, if one takes time to pe
ruse certain anthropological
texts.
Of interest to this writer
are his comments on the law
enforcement facet of his home
town, Rand noticed that they
are more UberaL Naturally
taken back at this, I asked him
to explain. “What I mean is
you can get away with a lot
more.” He quickly mentioned
that the Neapoleonic Law is in
effect; in which the defendant
is considered guilty until prov
en innocent. Traffic laws are
about the same as in America.
Shocked, I immediately pic
tured a maze of one-way
streets.

In order to purchase a gun,
a very special gun permit is
needeci Americans are very
unsafe with guns in their pos
session, “they don’t ask ques
tions; they simply jail you”.
The state police are similar
to ours - underpaid, under
equipped and under-respected.
Their main function, unlike
ours, is to “arrest whores,
drunkards and break up fights”.
Most companies hire spec
ially trained guards that are
more like storm troopers. En
joying the protection of that
beloved document, the Monroe
Doctrine, Venezuela is typical
ly exploited and supported by
American capitalists like,
Bethlehem Steel, Reynolds
Aluminum, US Steel, Kaiser
Construction, numerous oil
companies and many more.
As is also true of many Latin
American countries when elec
tion time rolls around^ things
“are uneasy for awhile”.
Election time is often revo
lution time in Latin America.
Rand noted that recently some
communists blew up a gas sta
tion 200 feet from his apart
ment, but things are usually
pretty calm. Rand being a
good capitalist mentioned .that
cigarettes are now contraband,

Out For Wesleyan Students
The November 29 meeting of
the Food Services Committee
was called to order by John
Porter, chairman. Those in
attendance were Carol Johnson,
Nancy Wellons, Karie Naylor,
George Speake, Eric Khrohne,
Bruce Wilkie, Buz Woodward,
and Mrs. Batchelor.
The members of the commit
tee asked about changes in the
breakfast and Sunday supper
menu. There was a request
for hot chocolate at breakfast
and for cold roast beef and ham
sandwiches at Sunday supper
for more variety. It was agreed
that most students enjoyed eggs
at the Sunday night meaL Mrs.
Batchelor plans to begin serv
ing them more often.
Complaints were made re
garding the quality of bacor}
and cornbread.. Mrs. Batchelor
said the kitchen is constantly
trying to improve it. In ad
dition, complaints were made
regarding the students’ general
dislike of bar-b-q pork chops,
pepper st«»aks, bacon wrapped
sirloin, country style steak,
rubbery jello, and an over
abundance of ham.
Mrs. Batchelor explained that
the problem of running out of
food is often unavoidable when
more students than are expect
ed eat at a given meaL Often,
however, she said this problem
results from inadequate plan
ning on her part. She also
answered the complaint that
the hamburgers are too dry and
too small. Mrs. Batchelor ex
plained that she had recently
changed to the brand served
in the snack bar in an attempt
to remedy earlier complaints.
One of the members of the
committee confronted Mrs.
Batchelor with the complaint
he had heard about Mr. Felton.
S everal students resent the fact
that he is usually served a
much larger portion of food
than they. She explained she
was aware of this but felt it
unwise to press the issue with
him.
When asked if students have
the right to request only dark
or white meat when baked chick
en and turkey are served. Mrs.
Batchelor said when there is
enough of each, they should be
served the type they request.
The committee further re
quested that baked fish be
served sometimes. Mrs.
Batchelor plans to do so.
With no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.

Nancy Wellons, Secretary

Appreciate Your
