Wth a return of 380 questionnaires representing 54% of the student body, positive conclusions con cerning the effectiveness of Winter Term were concluded. 62% of the student body remained on campus with 71% indicating that their choice was not a financial concern. Thus 50% of those remaining on campus did so on their own accord; this destroys any rumors about being excluded from off campus courses due to a monetary factor. Other evidence which supports this idea is the 87% who did get their first choice. PIRG Investigates One of the great oc cupational hazards in North Carolina is byssinosis (brown lung). The condition is caused by the irritating effect that cotton dust has in the lungs. Because this state is the leading textile center for the country the disease poses a major problem in this area. The symptoms of the disease are tightness in the chest and difficulty in breathing. At first the textile worker experiences this disconfort only on Mondays after absence from the mill. As years pass on, the symptoms extend into a two, three, or five day period. In the final stages, byssinosis causes continous pain. Even though it is clear that byssinosis is caused by con tact with cotton dust it is dif ficult for a textile employee to receive workerman’s com pensation once he/she is disabled. This is the area of Ewald, and J.S. Bach. 71% of the students who an swered the questionnaire in dicated that toeir course was academically challenging and 85% indicated it to be a wor thwhile choice. Only 16% viewed the grading or evaluation unfair, with only 9% having no time for ex tracurricular activities. In summary, the validity of Win ter erm was represented by 91% indicating that the entire Winter Term was a learning experience which is perhaps the most significant and gratifying response; Winter Term was not conceived to be an extension of the Fall Term nor a pre-course to the Spring Term but rather a linique ex perience. Robert M. Burleson Co-member Winter Term Comm. Brown Lung the problem in which NC PIRG-St. Andrews has great concern. The fact that only 38 people applied for workman’s compensation between July 1971 and November 1973 in dicates the complexity of the procedure. It is ridiculous to think that only 38 people in North Carolina have byssinosis when at least 300,000 are exposed to cotton dust. PIRG is presently in con tact with the State Board of Health which to an extent agrees with our position. The American Lung Asso. (for merly TB and Respiratory Disease Asso.) has offered to assist in our efforts. If you are interested in working in this area, projects have been outlined and addtional ideas are welcomed.

In the past few years, they have per formed extensively on their own and with other ensembles in the Laurinburg area. The Weather BY HUNTER PATTERSON Most students were very pleased by the weather front that passed across the southeast some time during the remote past. Tlie front was ■ in some ways quite human, • lending itself to petting and other teenage distractions, or should I say recreations? There was necessity to arise earlier than usual, which is even earlier since we are on daylight time, and if one was sufficiently confronted, during his dreams, with the reality of the force of the wind outside, which was really a cat at the window—a cat at each win dow—upon awaking (he could have seen) the low grey clouds as breast hair of amuch larger communal, universal cat. You must recognize the day I am describing. You will remember that it got cooler during the day. This concept is basic to descripton of a frontal passage . And mostly it rained and was comfortable in dispersion of droplets which clung to all absorbent materials but was repelled by repellent ones. When the grey cat was gone it was gone and then there was the god- versions of a negative robin’s egg sheltering what was left of the southeast. From this god-negative robin egg would hatch a god- negative robin chick which would exist safe and apart from the cat, which was (and perhaps is) theoretically tangible. But in existing in the god-negative state the robin’s egg was automatically nil, or it had progressed from god- decomposition through old age, diickhood, back into shell, and was going back into womb, fertilization, etc. in reverse order. This is why size does not and did not matter. Qoud is not albumen because a jet could go through—a single cloud, that is. Then when the lake moved violently onto the lawn I saw almost no-one marvelling. It was violent and would have toppled even a skilled canoeist. Why was that thing that sticks to our round ball of a home moved by this oc currence that made the win- dows vibrate ever so slightly? DRIVE IN % MILE FBOM ST.

This is ob viously true, for fte last poem Williams read Wednesday night was about a heretofore unheard of character by the name of “Little Ennis”, who is a “stud” of renown, vdth a phallus of mamouth por- portions. “Little Ennis” ob viously is a real person- because in this month’s issue of Playboy magazine there is an article chronicling some of the exploits of “Little Ennis” and a real, true-to-life photograph of him standing, grinning broadly, with what must be the world’s most unat tractive women lined up four or five deep on either side of him. When this writer told Williams about the article the day after the reading he smiled knowingly (obviously several other people had already told him about it) and stroked his opulent beard: “I told ya,” Williams said. “I never make anything up. ” Cron/ey Street Announcing: The Lance is interested in publishing Graphics, Poetry or Short Fiction of the St. Andrews Com munity.
