  • Eating crow Last year, when the new housing program was announced, and "dorm mothers" were excused from duty in lieu of residence co-ordinators, assistant co-or- dinators and residence assistants, a great outcry arose a~ gainst the plan. "What can be done that is not now being done?" students asked. "Nothing!" Now those students are having to eat crow. The housing program, now is giving residence hall students a home rather than a place to live. Young blood was brought in—people with fresh new ideas began to spread the ideas. The housing office set up a forum, developed new ideas (here anyway) with specialized halls, and possibly a special "quiet" dorm, and established hall governments, not to compete with campus student government, but to act as a catalyst for ideas in the halls. One example is the Albright- Benton Hall Government. The government there caught the good ideas like a disease. It began sponsoring movies like "Freaks" and making a pro fit on them. The government took the profit and turned it back into the hall. It has purchased a pool table and ping- pong table for the hall students to use free of charge. Now there are plans to purchase a bounce-pool table, and various games ("Easy Money," "Stratego," and others). The hall government has subscribed to "Playboy," "The National Lampoon," "U.S. News and World Report" and half a dozen other magazines, all a- vailable to check-out by hall residents, A loan service has been set up. Any resident can borrow up to $25 from the hall, if he agrees to pay it back within three weeks. And, finally, the hall has purchased a key to the Atlanta Playboy Club that is available to check-out over the week-end. (Rumor is that the waiting list has already started) Albright-Benton has demonstrated what a little planning, a little thought and a little enthusiasm can do. Some of the other halls should follow the example. And now what?

Actually there has been no fight, as of yet, Judging from the uproar the plan has caused, though, more than a few people are fighting mad. Opposition to the widening of Long Branch and Speedwell roads moved Cliff Lovin and Dan Pittillo, two faculty members, to visit the Board of Trustees and question the board and D.J. Whitmire. Such an escapade in itself is a rarity, but the board seemed little im= pressed by Lovin and Pittillo, and little concerned with the "problem." Pittillo was asked to come up with a better plan. The Office of Student Development has raised questions with the "upgrading" plan, and the executive branch of student government has voiced outright opposition. And the Student Senate unanimously recommended that the University study the plan more carefully, before setting it into operation. With this opposition, as well as that of local residents and individuals, maybe now the board, and especially E. J. Whitmire, will slow down and rehash the plan. We can see the need for improving the roads, and even four-laning parts. We don't see, however ignoring student comfort and safety in the process. Pritchard who? Pritchard Smith is the director of the Health, Safety and Security Office. That was for the 92 students who answered the WCATques- tionnaire on the security patrol and said that they did not know who he was. Not such a startling number, until you hear that only 182 students ansered the question at all. Fifty per cent of those answering, then, did not know him* That percentage, though, was the norm. On each of the four questions, about half ansered one way, and half the other. If those figures indicate the feel" ings of the rest of the student body, then the security patrol must be doing an adequate or better than adequate job. But, ah, the implications of those figures. Exactly 59 per cent of those answering said they thought the security patrol was doing a good job. Exactly 59% (the same?) said that they had had "business" with the patrol. And 58 percent said that they did not believe the patrol had the good of the student in mind. Maybe what they meant was the patrol was not good FOR the student. Then, there are the 92 students who do not know who the security patrol's director is. .Would it be safe to assume that there are at least 92 students on campus that dont smoke dope? Or is it that they just don'tknow when to hide it? JUNGLE'S BELIEVE IT OR DON 9 T It wai, just one of those nights. Nothing real!} happening, I mil he came into the office--Larry C.B. 'Whiteside. That was a good -,isnc So I bok at LC'HW and saj in desperation, ''got any believe it ordon'ts?" He doesn't come on reai fast, so i sealed back and gave him time to work, First thing we discussed was comic books, LCBW is a comic book collector, for life. He has a few thousand of them residing with him and he c:m tell you about people like Captain Marvel or the heroes of the 1930's, But no, We ruled out .• iraic books So LGBW calmly standing there thinking and ;ie reaches Into his pocket. Out comes a small tin. And he nonchalantly says, "how about snuff sniffing?" Suddenly the Jungle is interested. LCBW manipulates the small tin bov until a tiny hole opens in the side. Then he gently taps a little heap about the size of a housefly out of the tin ani ».to the mound between his thumb and index finger. He noticed my interest and began to explain: •'Notice how you close one nostril entirely" (he stopped the left side up with his left hand), "aid then sniff,," He did it and grinned. The oiher folks in the room began to ask questions, like why? And, LCBW sez that it ga*e him a tingle. Something in the back of the Jungle's mind said: GEE, JUNGLE, YOU SURE COUI D USE A TINGLE RIGHT NOW. Then Whiteside said in explaining some of the history of snuff sniffing that the English gentry used it to make them sneeze. Going on to say that the senses and sensations during (he act of sneezing were very close to those that take place during orgasm, NOW the Jungle was definitely inter- \^J ested. Still, sniffing snuff seemed a little,,. welL.Jkindio.,just not on the up and up. But the devil whispered "do it, do it, dooo ittt," and so took the little tin. The brand name was COKESNl FF, the flavor was strawberry and :t s>-.:1 made in England, distributed from Philadelphia, So I thinks: if it comes from Philadelphia ho a could it be bad. And I clo.Mfd one nostril and took a big quick sniff on m\ own little heap. Sure 'nuffc it tingled. A fet\ minutes later, my nose still kept telling me that I wasjumpingaround in a strawberrv patch wrJi size 15-EEE SHOES ON. It was nice. It was sort of lixs ,'he time I tried a Kentucky breakfast. A Kentucky breakfast sounded sort of bad to me at first too, like snuff sniffing, cause at a Kentucky breakfast they ser\e you a big beefsteak, a quart of bourbon and a blue-tick hound dog on a leash, But when you try it, you are pleasantly surprised because you feedtne beefsteak to the dog.
