Page 8 Wednesday, October 7, 1970 Feature ^It’s your frustration we must combat’ It has happened to me “Resolved: We the Student Legislature recommend to the Housing Office that immediate action be taken to install doors on the bathrooms of Moore Hall. ” So read the resolution proposed by Susie Sutton at the meeting of the Legislature Monday, October 5, 1970. by Steve dreyfus “Now, relax and tell me in your own words exactly what happened.” “Well doctor, it was 11:15 in the morning and I was in the western suite, fourth floor bathroom. I was positioned with my posterior upon one of the facilities, patiently awaiting the final outcome of my expectations.” “Go on.” “Can 1 explain with poetry?” “Of course.” “And as I sat there facillating My mind was idle contemplating Of such vastly stunted weight. That I did dream of meditating On cheerful woes till hesitating I pondered over loving liatc.” “Then what?” “The maid walked in!” “What did you do?” “I dropped everything and grabbed the two day old editorial page of the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER which had been lying on the lloor; 1 then immediately began to study the prospects of abolishing our Electoral College system. I was so embarrassed I almost fell in; I usually don’t read editorial with my chin resting on my knees.” “How did the maid react?” “Well, she screamed before she fainted. Perhaps my aromatic fragrances overpowered her.” “It’s possible. Now tell me, has anything like this happened to you before?” “I don’t think so. I don’t think I’m prudish, yet somehow I believe I’d feel more secure if frontal partitions were provided in the men’s room.” “I’m afraid that would be impossible. Not only would such oddities be expensive to install, but many males of our species would attempt to combat their inner frustrations and insecurities by outwardly proclaiming that such prudish retrogression would be an insult to their masulinity.” “I don’t understand.” “Can I explain with poetry?” “Of course, doctor.” by mike whorley At first glance, it would seem the Student Legislature should have better things to do than deal with the inhibitions of the men of Moore Hall. But on the double-take, the issue is more of a problem than the connotation would imply. On interviewing several of the inhabitants of my own floor, I was enlightened by several incidents which fully illustrate the matter in its most literal sense! “The jovial maid bounded into the twelth floor of Moore Hall and headed for the nearest suite. As she proceded down the hallway, she drew closer and closer to the bathroom when suddenly she stopped. She had been struck by the realization that she had not signalled her presence by yelling MAID IN THE HALL!!! At this point, she was adjacent to the bathroom entrance and figured that now was as good a time as any to make her presence known, so she emphatically yelled MAID IN THE HALL!!! This was promptly answered from within the bathroom by BOY ON THE JOHN!!! Another incidence occurred when another man of Moore was finding solace in the plumbing facilities. When his progress was interrupted by the opening of the bathroom door, and a maid entered. Being unable to think of anything to do, he crouched low, smiled weakly, and mumbled nervously, “hello there.” Of the men I talked with, most were definitely in favor of doors on the stalls in the men’s rooms, but a few stated that “they didn’t really care.” It seems the urgency of the matter has not been exaggerated in the least because tlie same thing has happened to me. SERVAMATION We deeply regret the death of Janis Joplin 392-7331 “In days of old when knights were bold And toilets weren’t invented They laid the load beside the road And walked off, self contented. “You don’t mean....” “Exactly. It’s your frustration we must combat. After working with me for a few sessions you will lose all your inhibitions and desire for privacy. You will feel as relaxed in the restroom as you feel in the lounge. In fact we can begin therapy today but first, er, umm, but first there is an important matter I must attend to.” At this point the doctor slowly arose and walked quickly to the small room adjoining his office. He sheepishly grinned back at his patient and he locked the door behind him.

Don't forget Wednesday at 12:30 in the Parquet Room. □ The following are essential additions concerning the rules of the Miss 49er 1971 Beauty Pageant. Rules 5 and 12 should read as following: 5-There will be a bi-racial committee of 4 judges for the pageant. 12-Each contestant must be a registered female student of UNCC. On the pageant application please add weight and height. IN order to quell a nasty and trivial rumor that has taken root about the pageant, we feel that the following must be written for clarification. Contrary to the belief of a few people, the pageant is not set up and selely designed for the emergence of a black girl as the winner. The girls will be judged by a bi-racial committee of 2 men and two women. Kappa Alpha Psi has neither the intent, the desire, or the stupidity to fix what will perhaps be one of the biggest events on campus FROM THESE SATES FORWARD.
