They are the vanguard of society — dedicated to the profwsition: “I wonder what the hell I learned here.” Before Atlantic Christian College unleashes the new furies on the unsuspecting world, the paper felt it would be interesting to see how they plan to shake the tree of life. A haphazard sampling of seniors answered the question: At the Center “What are your plans after leaving Atlantic Christian?” Their response ranged from the sublime .... to less than sublime. Sue Wilson said she would teach art in school for one year and then go to graduate school in textiles. Kevin Lorenz answered the question with “I plan to grow dental floss in Montana. ” Not to be outdone, Jimmy Ward has plans to move to Nash ville — “I want to be a country star.” Phil Faison, who is a familiar face on campus, has decided to take his talents back to Virginia. He wants to work in the state mental hospital. Margaret Barkley, like many of the other science majors, is wondering how industry will use her knowledge.

I,I\f)LKV (CPS) — While medical ad vances make inroads against mortality, death curiixisly has become a more controversial and widely-discussed topic.

In September, 1975, Quinlan s father, Joseph, asked doctors to remove his 21-year- old daughter, who had been in a coma for five months, from the respirator that was keeping her technically alive. Lengthy court battles ensued until the New Jersey Supreme Court finally decreed March 31, 1976 that Quinlan could be taken off the respirator if her physicians and a panel of hospital personnel agreed that there was no reasonable possibility of rwovery Since the decision. Quinlan has undergone several recoveries and relapses, and remains coma lose to date. Though the personal agony for the Quinlans has not been relieved by the court dwision, the case has renewed interest in the right of the comatose to •'death with dignity " A spokesman for the .American Medical Association noted recently that doctors have been "unplugging " their patients for years, but that the rwent in crease in malpractice suits has made legal protections a necessity. Dr. Eric Cassell, a clinical professor at the Cornell .Medical Center in New York, observed at a February American Association for the Advan cement of Science (AAAS) symposium in Denver lhat although a legal morass can develop when a patient is allowed to expire, it can also be ‘‘battery lo treat somebody who See PERSON’S RIGHT, page 3 recently graduated biology major who was visiting campus — Susan Williams. She has the unusual job of ‘‘tobacco foreman” at Export Leaf Tobacco Co. A few of the art majors gave their plans. Mark Moser: “Stay in Wilson and paint,” Duane Creech: ‘‘I’m going to sit here and mulch.” Bernie Volviva: ‘‘I’m going to graduate school in ar chitecture.” Bryan Hunt, an English major, aspires to be a ‘‘bum” — specializing in gutters. Fred Claridge vows to ‘‘gain more writing skills with ad ditional Joiu-nalism courses.” Finally, with an ambition that is constantly in our minds as an alternative to work, Robert L. Tedder optimistically asserts that he is ‘‘gonna be a millionaire.” Dear, dear students, I do not use the word ‘‘dear” casually. My husband and I have cared deeply for you. When I read your card and saw the beautiful wreath of spring flowers I was reminded that spring is eternal. Spring reminds me of our faith and hope for an eternal life.
