N A T I O N POLITICAL CLUBS SHOULD RECEIVE NO FUNDING Politically oriented clubs shouldn’t receive student government funding, according to 54.7% of students polled at the University of Arizona. A student organization devoted to the decriminalization of marijuana has been denied student funding because it made a political endorsement. PHYSICAL EXAM CHANGED TO QUESTIONNAIRE A physical exam for enrolling students was replaced by a lengthy health questionnaire a year ago at Memphis State University. Now, because of objections to some of the personal questions asked on the form, it has been replaced by a shorter questionnaire prepared by a campus committee. Filling out the new form probably won’t even be a requirement, says one member of the committee, because the national rehabilitation act 504 says that health information is inappropriate for purposes of college admission. PUNISHMENT FITS CRIME Making the punishment fit the crime, Rider College officials sentenced three students found guilty of causing a minor fire to the chore of implementing a fire awareness program on campus. The program was to be funded with $520 in fines also paid by the three pranksters, who set the dormitory fire when they threw two smoke bombs into an occupied room. BIRTHDAY PARTY WARRANTS S500.00 A birthday party for five student senators warranted a $500 appropriation from the Southern Illinois student senate. On an eight to two vote, the senate passed the resolution after reconvening its regular Senate meeting at a local bar. One of the senators to be honored voted against the resolution and says he won’t attend his own party. Aa Bb C c Dcfr Ee F f G< STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATIONS Student government associations wishing to avoid campus election problems may want to enlist the aid of their local League of Women Voters in organizing, running and even tabulating the returns of elections. Such assistance can help eliminate controversies such as that experienced this fall at Mississippi State University, where the entire, student senate election had to be repeated because of voting irregularities. The election commission there ruled that secret ballot counting and a shortage of voting boxes rendered the first election invalid. PENN STATE OFFICIALS PUBLISH MAP TO CUT DOWN ON CAMPUS ASSAULTS In an effort to cut down on campus assaults, Penn State University officials are publishing a map that will highlight well-lit, well-traveled paths as well as emergency telephone locations. The maps will be hung on campus bulletin boards and made available to students. CANADIAN STUDENTS SHARE VIEWS OF COUNTERPARTS Canadian college students apparently share the liberal views of their 1960s counterparts, according to a poll conducted recently which showed 60% of the students favor fundamental changes in society. Ninety percent of those polled admitted disillusionment with the current system and more than 90% were critical of oil companies and big corporations. Today’s students are better able to cope with their frustrations internally, the poll indicated. TEXAS A&M STUDENTS HAVE INPUT INTO OPERATION OF FOOD SERVICES Texas A & M students have considerable input into the operation of the campus food service. Students comprise Menu Boards which have the authority to add or delete menu items (within economic bounds) to approve brand names purchased and to consider student complaints. In addition, students are chosen at random each week to offer suggestions or complaints, which are then discussed by the food service management. “MEL-PRACTICE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE” Cartoons satirizing New Hampshire’s Governor Meldrin Thomson won t be found in the University of New Hampshire bookstore. The book “Mel-Practice in New Hampshire” reportedly won’t be stocked because of a lack of space. However, the bookstore manager said he works for the governor and for the state and the book’s political nature alone is reason enough not to stock it. INTERRACIAL CONTACT NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE Interracial and inter-class contact among students at Princeton University is not what it should be, according to a high-level university committee studying undergraduate residential life. Committee 'findings are de. d in an 11-page report available throiu ie dean of student affairs office. STAR-GAZING BECOMES POPULAR Star-gazing may become more popular at the University of Minnesota now that the Astronomy Department is offering a taped-message phone service describing night sky phenomena. The four-minute message is compiled and updated by astronomy students and faculty members. COLLEGE EDUCATION RATED “VERY IMPORTANT” A.college education was rated “very important” by 36% of those taking part in a recent Gallup Poll and “ fairly important” by 46%. Among non-whites, those with less than a high school education and those earning less than $7,000 annually, an even higher percentage considered college very important. 100 BICYCLES STOLEN IN A TWO-HOUR PERIOD Bicycles aren’t that hard to steal at the University of California-Santa Barbara, according to one student test. A hundred bikes were “ stolen” by a single man, armed only with a flashlight, in a two-hour period at campus area apartment buildings. The perpetrator, working between 1 and 3 a.m., left notes saying “ this bike was stolen” on every unlocked bike that could have been ridden or wheeled away. » # # 1 ,’#r P c \ f \ j jL 's A CHRISTMAS PR tS £ *r fffcM rm r law lb r boy. r / n a f r a i d t*> oPtw rr,' l a s t ie a r i t * * s a s q u id . “DANTE S INFERNO” RUSH PARTY A “Dante’s Inferno” rush party at Carnegie-Mellon University went over with a bang. Traditionally, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity builds a simulated volcano, complete with smoke and flames. This year’s volcano was a bit overpowered, however, and when it was touched off, the blast broke $2,700 worth of windows. The SAE’s will pay the damages as well as a $1,000 fine levied by the university. HIRED STRIPPER PERFORMS SEXUAL ACTS WITH STUDENTS An incident involving a hired stripper who allegedly performed sexual acts with students at a Rutgers University fraternity rush event is currently under investigation by the dean of students office in conjunction with the fraternity council board of control. The investigation may result in criminal complaints along with revocation of the fraternity’s liquor license. FREE FOOTBALL GAME TRIP CONFLICT OF INTEREST . . . Is a free football game trip a conflict of interest for a student body president? A former University of Oregon student government official charges the current student president should not h^ve accepted a free ride on the team plane to an out-of-state game because the student president has a say in budgeting student fees for the athletic department. The student president says the trip was only “ one of the benefits of the job” but his accuser says in the past all presidents have turned down such free offers. Rust Never Sleeps Neil Young Well let me tell you out there who still appreciate good old rock and roll, don’t give up the ship. Neil Young’s Rust Never Sleeps is truly a rock and roll lover’s dream. Neil Young’s Rust Never Sleeps is a record that defines rock, expands it, explodes it, and then burns it to the ground. Rust Never Sleeps tells the world about life and about the country. Rust Never Sleeps offers to the real fan of rock and roll music a chance to say, “Hey, this is what the music today is all about.” I f you have been following rock and roll music all your life, you will be able to truly connect with this album. It is for most people ‘ a summary of what rock has stood for all these years. The lyrics provide the strength and hope for all who want to see rock live. Rust Never Sleeps makes good on everyone of Neil’s early promises. Too often we are taken in by new groups that have nothing to offer rock and roll music but good looks and a fast way of selling records. Young on the hand has been faithful and has kept to everything he stood for in those early years. R u s t Never Sleeps is something every rock and roll fan should be proud of. See you next semester.
