MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1970 THE DECREE PAGE 3 THE DEAN^ - a Short Story (Cootjnued From Page 1) he could watch the beautiful scene. Now he could see very clearly even some yellow and red leaves stirred up by two frisky squirrels. In the early morning sun the sky, though a deep blue, had a golden tint. The ageing buildings, covered with dark green ivy, were art fully splashed with the light of a rising sun. The rays serene ly bathed the campus in a crimson hue, penetrating the ancient foliage to create a ka leidoscope of color. The mid fall air was cool and calm dotted with several blackbirds searching for an early morning feast. Surely, he thought, as he brushed from his young clean shaven face, nothing could be this beautiful. Suddently the quiet scene was broken by the sound of a dis tant bell and an opened door. What was once a mere speck seen through an opened window from the roof now became the figure of a husky, middle-aged man, gracefully and briskly walking down the sidewalk. The sight progressed to that now the Dean was passing by the chapel and rapidly approaching the street in front ofthe small wea ther-worn auditorium. The man on the roof watched for a mo ment, then picked up his wea pon from the small rack by his side, placing the warm ma hogany stock against his cheek. Making a few final adjustments, he peered through the scope atop the high-powered Marlin at the sun-bathed sight. Now the Dean was about ten yards from his destination. On approach ing the steps he took two at a time then paused at the top as he reached for the door handle. The rifle crached twice, but the two shots sounded sim ultaneously. The first shot struck the man full in the face, and his head exploded into a halo of red. The second projectile Treatise On A Woman’s Lib (Continued From Page 2) may sound good to those wo men naive enough to believe it, but it cannot explain why wo men do not get equal pay for equal work, equal considera tion in Job opportunities and in some states, cannot even inherit property. Let us look at a microcosm of man’s society, Wesleyan Col lege. The male and female students upon entering college appear to the untrained eye to be rather equal. Using as a basis of comparison high school grades, S. A. T, scores and personal recommendations one might conclude that the incom ing freshmen differ slightly from one another. It is during orientation that the students MO ONE BUT TOO CAN GIVE YOUR PORTRAIT Maor people would like to have U. Maior people deserve to bave it. Can n« today, won't you?

How far from the truth these state ments are, especially with re spect to those persons living on the North side of the campus. The girls are required to sign in and outwhether they are going to Rocky Mount or the student union with every action on their part recorded and documented. The men are not bound by such childish rules and one may hy pothesize as to why one sex is treated differently than the oth er. Perhaps the men are old er and more responsible than the girls, but further investi gation reveals that the average chronological age between the two sexes is about the same and therefore cannot support the hypothesis. Perchance the girls are not as mature as their boy counterparts, but this too can not be valid since evidence indicates that the females ma ture sooner than the males. It is often implied that the girls are weak, helpless, and vulner able and this justifies their be ing rounded up like sheep and tucked into bed at 11:30. Wesleyan College, following in the footsteps of society, has continued the historic tradition of brainwashing the female Into knowing her place. Many girls fancy the situation inwhichthey do not have the freedom nor responsibility of controlling their individual lives. Others must feel that they are not ma ture enough to face the reality of life and must therefore be eternally sheltered from the cold, hard world. It is with these attitudes that one con cludes that females are sub male and that every male should own at least one of them. Departmeot Store DOWNTOWN ROCKY MOUNT Shop Monday thru Thursday TIL 9 P.

The body rolled twice, trem bled, and lay limp only to soak the warm sunlight. The scene was quiet again, with the exception of an in creasing rumble within the auditorium and the frightened screams of fleeing blackbirds. The prepared speech settled in a pool of blood. The bright red liquid slowly wound its way down the rough sidewalk and seeped into narrow cracks. Just below and behind the aca demic building, the jet-black Rolls Royce gave a contented sigh as the man placed his torso behing the hand-carved steering wheel.

Day Students Asked To Check Mailboxes In response to complaints of resident students, Mrs. Pat Slone, Post Office manager asks tTiat all day students check their mailboxes at least once a week. Resident students, who have day-student boxmates have had a hard time getting their mail out of their boxes. This is because many day studentk sel dom check their boxes. There fore, mail keeps piling up. In response, residents have been throwing away their boxmate’s mail to make room for their own. Resident students are also warned that taking their box mate’s mail out of their box without permission is against the law. So, day students, please check your mail and stop all this con fusion.
