Captain 10 - 4's Tip of the Week
(2:00 A.M.) RRINGINGINGING
Joe Resident "Ah ! Some pulled the fire
alarm!
Diane Visitor "Oh Joey don't worry they'll turn it off soon.
Won't they?"
Joe R. "The they will. Not until the
intern checks each room and gets everyone
out of the building."
Diane V. "Oh no! I'd better hide in the closet."
Joeß. "Yea. You do that, (opens the door to the hall)
I'll be right back."
/4s Joe opens the door to the hall, he discovers a strong
odor of burning and heavy smoke in the hall. He then inhales to
discover a choking atmosphere. Joe steps back in the room
coughing dosing the door behind him.
Diane V. (from the closet) "Joey? Is that you?"
Joe R. "The hall is full of smoke! The whole
place is burning down. We've got to get out
of here!"
Diane V. "I haven't got anything to wear! I'm not going
out there!"
Joe R. "The place is burning down! We'll have to
jump out the window!"
Diane V. (still in the closet) "I'm not jumping out the
window!"
Joeß. "We've got to!"
Suddenly there is a rumble and a flash of light and there, in
middle of the room, appears none other than the ledgendary
Captain 10-4!
Joeß. "Who the are you?"
Captain 10-4 "I am here to instruct you to take positive
action in aversion of a potential tragedy.
Diane V. "Who is it Joey?"
Joe R. "Who the do you think you are?"
Cap. 10-4 "We are not involved in an identity crisis.
First Joe, you should not seek egress from a
3rd floor window by means of jumping. It
could be hazardous. You have already made
one mistake.
Joeß. "Oh yeah!?"
Cap. 10-4 "You should never have opened the hall door
without first feeling to see if it was hot. If
it was hot you should not have opened it."
Joer. "It wasn't hot!"
Cap. 10-4 (Continuing) "If it wasn't hot you should have
opened the door slowly and carefully being
prepared to close it quickly if there were heavy
smoke.
Joe R. "So what! I know the hall is full of smoke.
What do you expect me to do about it?!"

community contains a number
of poets and interested critics,
some of whom have voiced
a concern over the lack of an
outlet for their work. The
Women's Coalition recognizes
the validity of this concern.

The Guilfordian
Cap. 10-4 "You should stuff sheets or towels around the
cracks in the door and wet them if possible to
keep the heat and smoke out. Then open the
window a few inches at the bottom so you
can get fresh air to breath, but not so much
as to create a draft for the fire to feed on.
Hang something out the window that you can
wave occasionally and call for help. This way
the fire department will know where you are
and will be able to help you quickly by either
raising a ladder to your window or by putting
out the fire on your hall first so you can leave
by the door."
J° e R- "That is the stupidest thing I have heard of!"
Diane V. (shyly emerging from the closet) Maybe we
should run down the hall to the bathroom and
get in the shower. That way the fire will never
get us."
Cap. 10-4 "Many people do that, but they are forgetting
a very important thing: water may protect you
from the heat but the fire also produces many
toxic and non-lifesupporting gases that will
prevent you from breathing."
J°e R. (heading for the window} "I'm getting out of
here!"
Cap. 10-4 (puts a grip of steel on Joe's shoulder) "That
door will hold back smoke and flame for quite
a while, just follow my instructions. If it will
make you feel better you can make a rope of
sheets and blankets, if you don't already have
good heavy rope for the purpose of letting
yourself down to the ground. But I don't
recommend the use of a makeshift rope unless
flames are actually coming through the door."
Diane V. "I hear sirens."
Cap. 10-4 (proudly) "The fire department is arriving."
Joeß. "It's about time!"
Cap. 10-4 "I must leave now, just follow my instructions
and you'll be alright."
In a flash of light Captain 10-4 disappears as quickley as he
appeared having offered his tip of the week in time of need.
Diane V. "Where'd that guy go?"
Across the hall there is a pounding on a door. "This is the
police. Open up. We know you're smoking dope."
Joe R- " I thought that smoke smelled
funny!"
Diane V . "Get rid of the stuff Joe!"
Joe runs to his desk drawer grabs a small bundle and tosses
it out the window.
Joeß. "Whew! That was close!"
work, another writer's poetry,
or simply listening, can get
together. The first reading will
be on Monday, November 22,
at 7:30 in Founders Gallery,
and will ontinue throughout
the rest of the year, every
Monday night at 7:30. The
Women's Coalition invites any
student or faculty member
who is interested in reading
or listening to poetry to attend.
The Women's Center is also
sponsoring a film, Union Maids,
to be shown on Wednesday,
November 17, at 8:00 p.m. in
the Gallery. Made by Julia
Reichert and James Klein, the
co-producers of Men's Lives,
the film Union Maids provides
a lively and interesting view of
the roles of women during the
labor strikes and sitdowns of
the 1930'5. The filmmakers
interviewed three women who
came from the rank and file
of the labor movement to
become organizers and
leaders. The three individually
tell of the problems they faced
as women, both from inside
and outside of the movement.
The film also provides an over
all understanding of the
working class oppression which
led to the formation of the
unions. Primarily, Union Maids
is a realistic portrayal of the
power of the working class
woman, in the 1930's and in
the present.

Spring
Course
Offerings
The Cuban Revolution (In
English) Spanish 450
Hiram Hilty
This course is intended for
the serious student interested
in an objective analysis of this
important phenomenon. Of
special interest to political
science and history students,
as well as those with a special
interest in Spanish and Latin
American affairs. Extensive
reading from library sources,
one research paper. Instructor
lived in Cuba five years before
the Revolution, has visited four
times since.
Philosophy, Psychology,
and Language
Phil 450
Johnathan Malino
In the last twenty years
the study of language has
been revolutionized by the
work of Noam Chomsky. In
addition to making major
contributions to the formal
study of language, Chomsky
has advanced bold claims
about the significance of this
work for philosophy and
psychology. Among these
claims are the views that a
version of traditional philos
ophical rationalism with its
emphasis on innate ideas is
correct and that Behaviorism,
particularly the work of B.F.
Skinner, is bankrupt as an
approach to psychology. The
second of these views has
spawned an entire area of
psychology called Psycho
linguistics, while the first has
produced a large body of phil
osophical comment and
critique.
The purpose of the course
is to acquaint the student with
the outlines of Chomsky's
formal work in linguistics and
then to examine the philosophi
cal and psychological contro
versies which have arisen
around it. Lecture and discus
sion will revolve around
readings from the work of
Chomsky, Skinner, Whorf,
Plato, Descartes, Leibniz and
others. The material should
be of interest to anyone
concerned with recedt break
throughs in knowledge as well
as to those more specifically
concerned with the problems
of philosophy, cognitive
psychology, and nature of
language.
Ed. Note Jonathan Malino
will be a new member of the
faculty for the Spring semester.
