A highlight of the week will be the AWS program tomorrow night. The V.D. Epidemic Even though syphil is has been curable since 1909 and gonorrhea since 1943, America is fighting a V.D. epidemic. Presently, syphilis is a major killer among communicable diseases, and at least two million cases of gonorrhea occurred in 1970. Despite all the informatio n about venereal disease , the problem is getting worse . One reason why this situa ti on is ~ out of control is embarrassment. People consider contracting V.D. a social problem because it is associated wit h sex and the y will either not seek treatment or rat ionalize that they can 't possibly have it. Another reason for its epi demic proportions is ignora nce. There seems to be a 1 myster y surrounding V.D. and this is because many people are either misinformed or j ust don ' t know the facts.

None, unless we all le tters over 400 wo rds amusing, and frightening .— on in spend some of our time and • length. frightening from the point of view energy toward having candidates run for office . I'm asking you students to become involved in local elections by securing a petition from the Court House and running for election . Some of the offices up for the election are the Mayor 's position , three Councilman 's, Judge of Elections, two Inspectors of Elections , two Democratic committeemen. With a little work on the behalf of the candidates and concerned voters, they can be won. that this is the first time I have seen or heard anything about a decrease in the credit hour limit per semester. My question is: Was the college community at large informed of this last year before the calendar change was voted on? I remember hearing no rumors about this, let alone seeing something in print . I do remember article(s) having been published in the M&G praising • the winterim session because students could use this time for travel , working to earn additional money , research projects, etc. But , now we are told that "to fulfill the requi rements for graduation , students would have to attend two winterim sessions." If I am mistaken and this was made public, someone please correct me. Otherwise, I shall be forced to assume that someone was - is trying to deceive our college community. Also, I believe that should the length of the class periods be increased, the number of class periods would be decreased. Somehow, I feel that our beloved Registar has enough • problems scheduling classes for 4,000+ students without that happening and adding to his problems. Sincerely, David L.

The lines at the Commons are long, and you wait for a table even longer. That I don 't mind one bit because I just like seeing lots of people. But just as soon as Friday comes along, the majority of the campus heads out for home or various other places. You'd think there was a gold strike somewhere out there the way they knock you down, push, shove, bite, and kick anyone who stands in their way of getting away from here and fast ! Why do all of these people bag it on the weekends? Is it true that our BSC is a suitcase college? I could tell you the answers in just one short word — "yes". I was really curious why they leave so I asked a lot of them why and the answers I got were, "there's nothing to do here " or "I'm going him why the doors were locked and he replied, in so many words, that it wasn't any of my business. Finally he said something about preparation for the basketball game that night. I asked him no other questions because it seemed he didn't want to answer questions. I went and got my friend to take a sauna bath. When we returned, the doors to the weightroom were locked. Because my sweat pants were in there we got a janitor to open the door. When we walked in there was a blue sweat suit top next to the sauna room — someone was taking a sauna bath and apparently didn 't want others to benefit by the sauna. g^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ g^^^^^^^^^^ I x * e m Th/v t V ftA Clt EL W£M T to \^ So, all you card-playing freaks, who would just love spending your- weekends in Elwell lobby playing with us are welcomed.

Well, fear not people! If you want to have some good fun , a lot of laughs, and to the girls who are still looking for that special person — if you want to find him — join us! The only requirements is that you know how to play pinochle, would like to learn how to play pinochle, or just want to goof off. Ya see, every Friday and Saturday nights, just as soon as we are kicked out of the Union by Security a group of us make a hasty retreat to Elwell Hall. You may ask, do we sneak upstairs? That's up to you if you want to risk it, but we spend the night and I mean the whole, entire night (not just until 4 or 5 o'clock am.) in the lobby playing pinochle. "What fun is that?" You may ask. Well have you ever seen people trying to function when they 've been awake for 20 straight hours? Some of the actions are hilarious. We don't care who wins the games, but it seems that the scorekeeper always does. You may wonder how we can play pinochle from 1 to 7 am. I don't know how we do it. (If I had to pull an all-nighter studying, I'd konk out at 11:30.) Sometimes we take a break and go to Casper's to visit the nice lady who works the late shift . The best part of the whole night is watching the guys come in , watch some brave, daring couple try to sneak downstairs at 5 am , and the most fun is snatching up the cute 1 guy who comes in at these wee hours of the morning. At this place you have to make your own fun and entertainment and that's what we do in Elwell.

Then I asked those who were going to visit their loved ones, "Why don't you tell them to come up here and spend the weekend?" Then I still got the same answer , "Because there's nothing to do!" So then I give them the scoops about the various games , dances, or movies.that go on to occupy the evenings here. But then they come out with , "After then , what?"
