Hit books,
not beach
Believe it or not, there will
be no classes on Friday,
May 15. While some stu
dents may hit the beach, the
sole purpose is to give a
free day to study for exams.
This reading day has been
tried in the past, yet it
seemed ineffective as stu
dents chose to lie out in the
sun instead of studying, and
test scores were no higher. A
few years ago, exams were
64ch 1 Vi hours long and
were taken in three days.
Time was too limited for
accumulative exams.
Now, however, exams are
design^ to be acculumative,
as they last for four days at
hours each.
Exams wiU begin on Sat-
'irday morning.
bands will be presented:
Symbol 8, Maurice Williams

Picnic lunch will be served
at 4:30 behind Harper Cen
ter.
Events are free.
In case of rain, events will
be held in Alumni Gym.

“Students sign the deatb
warrant for animals without
knowing what they are do
ing,” said Bob Bullard, ani
mal control officer for Ala

Bullard was meeting with
Dean W.G. Long, Vera Mel
ton of the county Humane
Society, Lt. Sam Jones, Jr.,
of Public Safety and mem
bers of the Pendulum staff
to discuss problems of dogs
and cats on campus.
“Ask students not to have
animals,” pleaded Bullard,
for a recent incident involv
ing a Great Dane and two
purebred dogs that had to be
destroyed cost the county in
excess of $2,000 in taxpay
ers’ money. In addition,
students may be exposed to
rabies, spreading from South
CaroUna in wild animals and
bats, Bullard said.
“According to the Hand
book, students can’t keep
anything larger than gold-
flsh,” Dean Long said. But
they do, and the problems
arise when students let pets
run or students leave the
college and let pets fend for
themselves. The town has an
animal control ordinance
which gives the owner warn
ing before Public Safety or
animal control picks up the
animal.
Mrs. Melton said the last
resort was calling the animal
control officer for his job
was to pick up and destroy.
Both she and Bullard said
they first try to find a home
for the unwanted pet.
Students are asked to take
their pets home and to care
responsibly for them. They
are warned not to touch bats
which may fly into build
ings, for they carry rabies.
They are asked to notify a
trained control officer who
can use a net and properly
destroy the bat.
