Sex Revolution
At WCC??
Allen Woody
You may have heard an out
landish rumor about a “sexual
revolution” in colleges around
the United States in the past
decade. This certainly concerns
all students past, present, and
future.
Hence the time of the Birds
and the Bees (no that is not a
rock group), persons of both
gender have been wondering
“What are those little thing-a-
ma-jibs?" Though our parents
have some good points, one
point on which they always fall
short is explaining what those
little thing-a-ma-jigs are. They
seem to by-pass the subject by
introducing us to books written
by a prominent psychologist,
socialogist, or someone using
words too big for us to under
stand.
So nature takes its course,
and here we are—college stu
dents, shy and a little timid.
Soon we grow out of that be
cause we are in the Big Time
now. The Big Time means the
responsibility is the clay from
which we mold what other
people think about us, and
more important what we think
about ourselves.
Getting back to the question:
Is there a sexual revolution at
WCC?” Sure there is! Any
group of individuals educated
to the college level has had an
abundance of facts hit them
head-on. These facts lead to
new ideas in the individual:
creating room for expansive
thought, and this expansive
thought leads to revolutionary
type action.

VICKIE’S TIMELY TIPS
Vicki Reins
Avocados are 25% oil and
that oil in turn, contains 11
vitamins and 17 minerals . . .
which just has to be good for
the complexion. Cut one of
the fruit in half, remove the
seed, scoop the golden-green
pulp into a bowl and mash it
into a lumpless cream (adding
a little water if necessary).
Smooth the preparation over
your face and freshly sham
pooed hair, and massage it well
into the scalp. Then rub the
inside of the avocado peel over
your elbows feet, hands, and
other problem dry spots. Wait
one half hour and shower the
goo away. Amazingly, it won’t
cling or stick . . . and the treat
ment should give your hair
noticeably more body than even
the most expensive commercial
preparations.
After cleaning the face, wom
en with average or dry skin
generally find it beneficial to
apply a light application of
cucumber, strawberry, bell
pepper, grape or cabbage juice.
Those with oily complexions
and enlarged pores may prefer
the astringent juice of the
grapefruit.
Nothing lubricates a com
plexion like fresh cream. It
seeps readily into the pores,
nourishes the skin and leaves
it remarkably soft and velvety.
Hippocrates advised the
ladies of ancient Athens to
moisten their hands and legs
in the morning, rub them light
ly with honey and later rinse
V
Ping Pong (Path
To Relaxation)
Allen Woody
Have you ever felt like the
pressure, the tension, “the
world was too much with you?”
If you didn’t find a release
you would explode? Well some
WCC students have a release:
That’s the game of ping pong.
Insignificant as it may seem.
Ping Pong is not just fun but
may be good therapy.
Some of you may have felt
the glorious ecstasy of smash
ing that little round ball flat
on the opponent's side of the
table. If you have not, you
should try it. You walk away
from the table revived and in
vigorated; ready to tackle an
other borrowing hour of dread
ing class.
It doesn’t take a lot of
muscle to play Ping Pong,
mostly reflexes and timing.
Therefore, anyone can partici
pate — teachers, students, and
even Richard (the Campus
Policeman) who uses this means
to get revived to give tickets.
Thanks, WCC for providing
this outlet for our pent-up
steam.
the honey away with clear
water. The treatment was sup
posed to relieve unattractive
redness, roughness and chap>
ping . . . and it still does.
A soothing lotion for the
legs and hands can be made by
covering a large handful of
green 1 e t u c e leaves, pine
needles or cucumber slices with
water and simmering them in a
covered glass or stainless steel
saucepan for half an hour.
Strain the liquid into a clean
jar and add enough benzoin —
a drop at a time to produce a
mild appearance.
Cosmetic vinegar is a great
skin pacifier, relieves dryness
and itching and restores a
natural acid mantle (which is
removed by cleaning) to the
complexion. It is nothing but
cider vinegar with its acrid
scent disguised by aromatic
plants or the petals of fragrant
flowers. Put a cup of lavender,
violet, honeysuckle, mint, car
nation or geranium leaves or
petals into a pint of boiling
water in a glass or stainless
steel saucepan. Simmer for
two minutes. Add a cup of
cider vinegar, pour the liquid
into a clean jar and tightly
seal the container with a lid.
Open the jar after two weeks
and strain the solution through
a piece of clean cloth. Added
to the final rinse after a sham
poo, this soothing lotion will
remove any remaining soap
film that dulls the luster of
the hair and cause it to tangle.
Who Would Have
Thought Oil
Caused Friction?
John Cashion
Most people are pretty eager
to express their ideas and
opinions. Few are more inclin
ed to do this than Stokes Pear
son, who occasionally does
himself proud with something
near profound. His latest is
this: “I know for a fact that
G. M., Ford, or Chrysler could
come up with a carburetor to
increase average gas mileage to
45 or 50 miles per gallon in
the American automobile.”
“He also knows a guy (who
wouldn’t lie) who knows a guy
who had a new Ford back in
1941 that got 50.6 mpg. Now it
seems this was an experimental
car that was never to have
gotten into the hands of the
consumer, but as fate would
have it, some monkey parked it
on the wrong lot and it was
shipped to a dealer where this
fellow purchased it. Ford learn
ed about their missing gas
miser and made the owner a
deal he couldn’t refuse, so Ford
got their marvelous machine
back and forgot to death the
miracle mileage machine. Ford
was happy, the ex-owner was
happy, and the gas companies
were happy.
Stokes says it can be done if
the federal government would
pressure the auto makers for a
more efficient carburetor as
they did for the “Nader non
sense.” “We are not talking
about putting a man on the
moon or anything of that mag
nitude or expense. We’re talk
ing about a simple solution to
the energy crisis. If we had
cars that got three times the
mileage we get now, it would
take one-third the gas to run
the nation’s autos and the other
two-thirds could be used to run
the country with no danger of
shortage. Then we would not
have to listen to the dictates of
the countries with the oil. If
we don’t do something, we are
going to be riding camels, and
those folks will be driving and
riding our cars.”
Stokes is right. I have heard
all my life about carbuletor
patents that gas companies
have bought up — carburetors
that will produce 50, 60, even
70 miles per gallon. It really
makes you wonder who is run
ning the country. Maybe that
has to do with why politicians
are so slick. Could it be they
are being doused with “friction
proofing?”
