Boycott the
Buy-Centennial
America is preparing to celebrate the two hundredth
anniversary of the war for independence from Great Britain.
The high ideals and gallant spirits of the men and women of that
era deserve to be examined and remembered. The deeds and
misdeeds of that time are of enduring value.
Somehow the serious reflection upon times past has been
relegated to a back seat on the U.S. government's "Freedom
Train". This brainchild of corporate America epitomizes the
exploitation of the Bicentennial by "patriotic" businessmen. It
appears that nothing is more sacred than the dollar bill.
Christmas etc. fell victim to the almightly buck years ago. Avoid
those businesses and products which exploit the Bicentennial.
"Let us disappoint those who would raise themselves by the
ruin of our country." Sam Adams 1776.
Check out the causes of the Revolution of 1776. Economic
oppression, unfair representation, and governmental
interference with the rights of individuals. These same issues
confront Americans today.
We cannot afford, morally or economically, the
commercialization of our heritage.

Register To Vote
A quarter of a million
college and high school
students are eligible to vote in
North Carolina. But they can't
vote unless they are register
ed.
The Campaign for Student
Voters (CSV) will encourage
these 250,000 potential voters
to register before the North
Carolina primary in March.
Founded last summer by
eight high school, community
college, and university stu
dent groups, CSV has the
endorsement of the Governor,
the Lieutenant Governor, and
the State Board of Elections.
CSV is only the second such
drive in history to be endorsed
by the Board of Elections.
CSV will hold conferences
where student leaders can
learn about voting laws and
how to organize a registration
campaign on their own
campuses. So far about 600
students from across the state
have been invited to these
conferences, said Gary Tho
mas of the N.C. Student
Legislature, coordinator of
CSV.
In some countries officials
have made it hard for students
to register. But with the help
of the State Board of
Elections, CSV hopes to break
down those barriers and make
it easier for students to
exercise their rights as
citizens.
Individuals or groups who
want to join CSV's effort may

Editor's Note: Today, No
vember 4th is Election
Day...so if you hadn't already
registered, it's too late now.
However, it's certainly in
plenty of time for next year,
which will be a Presidential
election year!

Dear friend,
There are some misconcep
tions about the vegetarian
movement. A vegetarian eats
no meat or fish, believing that
the eating of animals is killing
us, or the animals, or the
starving elsewhere, or all 3.
Killing us
Meat has been named the
no. 1 cause of cancer, for
many reasons. Carcinogenic
female hormones are given to
animals. Cancer causing
sodium nitrate makes meat
red in color. Dead flesh has
many times more insecticide
concentrated in it than fruits
and vegetables because an
animal concentrates DDT,
dieldrin, chlordane etc. in his
tissues. The average meat-

moment of silence. There was
no old business.
New business:
1. Dax Holsenbeck propos
ed that George White Hall
elect a temporary senator
(with full rights) to represent
them until the permenance of
the dorm is established. The
Senate approved this proposal
on the condition that the
Senator is temporary and the
situation will be reviewed in
January.
2. Eliott Good brought forth
a proposal concerning the fees
for the linen service being
included in the full price for
room and board. After some

The bacteria in meat (a dead
animal) can number as high as
2 billion per ounce causing
97% of the food poisoning
fatalities yearly.
Killing the animals
Slaughterhouse suffering is
hidden from us. In Madison
Wise. 1100 pigs an hour are
goaded onto conveyor belts
with shocking rods. Vegetar
ians believe that it is wrong to
cause suffering to and to kill
other creatures for our
appetities, that it is a form of
human chauvinism. Animals
cannot speak, but they suffer.
The short high shrieks in a
slughterhouse give evidence
of intensive suffering.
Senate Minutes
debate, the Senate recom
mends to the Administrative
Council that the linen service
be itemized as a separate
charge and be optional for
students. This would result in
greater costs for those using
the linen service.
3. A proposal on the alcohol
in the dorms and possible
solutions was submitted by
the Student Advisory Sub-
Committee to Student Ser
vices. This proposal was
clarified among Senators and
they are now asked to bring it
to their constituencies for
suggestions before it is voted
upon. (PLEASE ASK YOUR
SENATOR TO SHOW YOU
THIS PROPOSAL!)

Killing the starving
1 lb of meat results
from 21 lbs of food given the
animal. Dairy products re
quire a loss of 2 to 4 lbs of
grain per lb of dairy. Fruit per
acre has THIRTY TWO times
the yield that animal protein
has. 32 fruitarians can live on
the same acreage as 1 heavy
