Student Speaks
During the past school year I have been concerned
because of the lack of student participation in campus
issues. No one should stand back and gripe about what is
happening on campus when they are not even involved.
In order to have a unified student body as it should be,
working together as one, we should all do our best and
our part.
With what little dedicated participation we have had
we were able to accomplish several tasks for the benefit
of the majority of the student body which depends on the
minority to do all the work. Faculty evaluation is an
upcoming event sought after by concerned students who
feel this is necessary for a stable administration to be
maintained. Parking for freshmen has come to pass,
thanks to a few dedicated students. Having
refrigerators in he dorm and future constitutional
amendments are yet to come. We are also pushing for
unlimited cuts.
Once again comes a time when student elections will
be taking place. In making your decision on who to vote
for and instead of whether or not to vote, think how
much the student has been involved in the past.
Promises will be made an they can only be kept if we as
students do our part. The officers we elect will represent
us but they do not take our place. They are there as the
leading hand to guide us to make improvements. This
past year, the few dedicated students carried the burden
well but things may not run so smoothly next year
without your help.
A Concerned Student
Parking Permits
This week all freshman can legally have cars on
campus which is great. It should have happened long
ago but there needs to be some controls instigated,
I counted the available parking spaces in the campus
lots. This was done on Monay and Tuesday of this week.
All the lots were full, street spaces for one block in all
directions from the campus were also full. Many
students wre driving around looking for parking.
What can be done about this problem? Design a
system of parking for day and dorm students. If fresh
men have cars, then let them park in the lots farther
from the campus. If this is not possible then lets work on
a parking fee.
So welcome to the rat race in the parking lots fresh
man, Use your new parking permits as a hunting
licenses because finding a parking space is like finding a
snowball in HELL!

By ROBBIE STEE.N
As 1 entered the kitchen last
night to find a little something to
munch on, what should I spy but
a mouse! The little varmint was
struggling across the floor with a
pound of hamburger which had
been thawing on the drain board.
I shouted for him to stop and I
grabbed him just before he got
out the door. I was furious, as
well as curious however, for
what would a mouse want with a
pound of hamburger? So I
proposed a deal with the little
rat; if he would gve me a good
reason for stealing my ham
burger, I would give him his
freedom. What follows is the
story that one Mort Mouse told
me in exchange for his life.
Mort is resident of Rodent-
ville, U.S.A. which lies directly
beneath our U.S. of A. In
Rodentville, Mortsays, the price
of groceries has increased by 30
per cent in the past twelve
months. He noted specific
examples such as: Limburger
cheese, $1.10 a pound a year ago,
now $1.45; Swiss cheese, from
one dollar to $1.15 a pound; and
Cheddar from ninety cents to
$1.20 a pound. Mort told me that
food was not the only commodity
going up by far. Appliances,
sporting goods and trans
portation costs had all increased
by significant margins. And as
expected, the consumer was
bearing the brunt of the in
crease. The President of
Rodentville Richard Mixon had
devaluted the nation’s currency
in an effort to bolster the ailing
economy. Finely Art the Dirty
Rat Burns, president of the
nation’s Federally Reserved
Board, had made a plea to all
Rodentians to show their faith in
their country by abstaining from
the use of cheese one day a week
and to eat meat instead. This
request was met with some
bitter arguments. The pack rats
siad that they would not be
sustenance enough after a hard
day’s work. They were not
willing to do without their
cheese. The white nice approved
the motion of Burns and agreed
that any Rodentian worth his
weight in D-Con could maintain
without cheese for at least one
day. The hamster contingent
said they weren’t so crazy about
cheese anyway, just so long as
the price of sunflower seeds
remained stable. In a Harris-
Mole Poll of fifteen hundred
pests on the street, it was found
that sixty-eight per cent were
opposed to doing without cheese,
sixteen per cent were willing to
co-operate, twelve per cent
blamed the Mixon ad
ministration and four per cent
kept their mouse traps shut.
Mort said that the majority of
the people were fed up with all of
the price hikes. Many of his
neighbors he said, had given up
such valued entertainment as
playing golf on the weekend or
going to the movies, in order to
spend a little more for food.
Others were loaning themselves
out to private scientists for use
in lab tests. In exchange for their
services the scientists fed the
volunteers three meals a day
and cheesecake for an evening
snack.
I had really seen the light. I
could identify readily with poor
little Mort, because it seems like
prices are greater each visit to
the grocery store for me too.
“Mort” I said. “Little buddy, I
can see your point. It’s getting
harder and harder to provide for
a family these days. It’s enough
to make a man resort to
dishonest methods to make ends
meet. We work eight hours a
day, five days a week and it
seems like all the government
can do is fashion fancy
rhetorical packages as prices
rise higher. Besides it’s easy for
those top-dogs to talk about
doing without when we’re
picking up their tab. Mort, my
hairy little friend. I’m going to
let you go.”
I could tell he was overcome
with thanks as he scampered off.
I was overcome as well; I had
forgiven the helpless little
creature and extended his
number of days in Rodentville.
As I turned to flip off the kitchen
light I discovered that THE
LITTLE RAT HAD STOLEN
MY HAMBURGER!!

TIME
A useless measurement
space. ^
The^gony „f
The wonderment of what will
become ‘
In the great world that lies
Behind one’s destiny
For those who’s lives aw
marked, too little, those thin»
undone the waste of time
In material wealth for which thp
clenched first graphs,
Time is the essence, toallwfor
work.
But the spiritually rich have it
all-security.
To them time meaningless
Their souls content
The blessed lovers have most to
lose.
Yet in time they have a faithful
bond,
knowing they are one.
But pity on the man who stands
alone — time his enemy.
An eternity of waiting - for
what?
He just sits and watches Time
pass.
