The Student Government
Executive Committee is
taking concrete steps in
solving the parking problem
on our campus. An Ad Hoc
“traffic committee” has been
established for the purpose of
enforcing the parking
regulations which are put
forth in the handbook. The
committee will work with the
business office and the
security guards in an effort to
prevent the breaking of the
rule which states that
freshmen and sophomores
may not have cars on campus.
Mrs. Greenwood
Those who knew Mrs.
Dorothy Greenwood will
regret to learn of her death on

Dr. Marney
Dr. Carlyle Marney will
speak Thursday, Oct. 4, at
8:00 p.m. in the library
projection room. His topic is a
‘‘Healthy Spirituality”.
Students and faculty are
urged to attend.
Oak Leaves
This year’s “Oak Leaves”
editor, Karla Barger,
explained a current change in
the publication of the
yearbook. Instead of meeting
the January deadline and
publishing a yearbook which
only relays our fall semester,
an effort is being made to
incorporate “the whole school
year.” This means that
students will not be able to
obtain their Oak Leaves until
the summer months instead of
in May as it has been in the
past. For those of you who
may be unhappy with this
change, consolation may
come by remembering that
the new publication will show
Springs Court, Stunt,
Founders Day, Rush Week
and Graduation.

Keep your life upon the
donut and not upon the hole! A
word to the wise is sufficient?
In other words, for all you

care for empty and unhappy
stomachs around 10:00 p.m.
every night, your agony is not
eternal! Meredith’s Young
Democrats hear your cry and
will come to your rescue

stereotype roles and how they

“everything you need to know
about sex”, then come; all
questions will be welcomed.

Jobs seen abroad
“Jobs for young people 18
to 29 are now available in
Europe any time of the year”
said Dr. F.X. Gordon,
President of Princeton
Research, at an interview
with Stanford University and
Palo Alto High School
students.
“The European Common
Market unemployment rate is
50 percent less than that of the
United States. Job availability
forcasts for 1974 High School
and College graduates in the
United States are not so rosy.
There are more young people
entering the job seeking
market (some 1,300,000 per
year) than there are suitable
jobs.
We have a program called
Jobs Europe” he continued.
“The aid of this program is to
give young people, 18 to 29
years of age, an inexpensive
and unique opportunity to live
in, and learn about, Europe.
These guaranteed
salaried jobs are mostly for
trainees (general help) as
stewardesses and stewards on
trains, with large 1st class
hotels, restaurants,
supermarkets, department
stores, etc. in Switzerland,
England and Belgium. Most of
the jobs include room and
board in addition to local
salary. For free details: send
