May 14, 1973 THE POLEMIC Page 3 LAB Continued from page one knows everybody else. An example of this is, that everybody is usually reading or has read the same material. Have you ever read a book and really wanted to talk to someone about it, and -- alas! -- no one knew what you were talking about? This seldom hap- pens in LAB, because of the closeness of the ·students. There is almost al- ways someone in the LAB lounge to talk with. Secondly, there have been several optional seminars which have been in- teresting. To list a few: Meditation, Interior Decorating, ( LAB lounge), Candle Making, Softball, Identifying Role Playing, "I Ching," Organic Gar· dening, and Silva Mind Control. Thirdly, grades are given by the students as well as the teachers. That is, the first part of the semester, the teachers gave the students grades; the second half, the students graded them- selves. The final grade will be averaged between the two. This eliminates many tensions from the students as well as the teachers. As a student, you find yourself controlling much of your learning, because once grades are eliminated, you must ask yourself: "What do I want out of this class?" You must also accept more re- sponsibility for what you learn; no long- er can you hide behind "The reason I didn't learn anything is because he's a bad teacher." "The Fox" Strikes Again (CPS/ZNS) -- A mysterious ecology phantom -- known only as "the Fox" -- has struck again in Illinois. Over the past few years, the Fox has been running a one-person "terrorist" cam- paign against large companies which he or she believes have been dumping wastes in- to the environment . The Fox has struck literally dozens of corporate offices in the middle of the night, often throwing the company's own waste products all about the offices. His/her activities have been described as "ecotage" -- which is "sabotage" on be- half of "ecology." The Fox struck again last Saturday when he/she eluded guards and a security camera system at the Allsteel Equipment Plant in Montgomery, Illinois, during pre- dawn hours. The phantom threw a thick paint thinner all over the marble entrance to the Allsteel headquarters building -- and left a message behind. The phantom charg- ed that the thinner had been dumped into nearby Gillette Creek by Allsteel Com- pany drains. Wrote the Fox: "Congratu- lations Allsteel, because of your murder of Gillette Creek, you have won -- absolutely free -- delivery of your very own pollu- tants back to your very own doorstep." The Fox, as usual, signed the message with his/her customary "F-0-X" signa- ture. The "O" in "Fox" was a little fox head. Flashbacks of A.C.C. The PO LEM IC faces a modern genera- tion, as did the TIMBERCRUISER. One major difference seems to be brought -into focus, however, when 1973 takes a flicker of ... " ... and consume your own smoke." -- Sir William Osler HIGHLIGHTS OF 1962!!! CANDID REFLECTIONS Smokers at ACC must take this advice literally as they enter the smoking crypts located off the lounge; non-smokers who enter also find the situation unpleasant. To quote one smoker, "the smoke coming out of the roof ventilator looks like it's coming out of a steel foundry'." Enjoying a "coffin nail" under the present conditions is next to impossible. Especially between classes it is difficult enough to attempt entry, forgetting ef- forts at finding a place to stand once the drive through a company of the addict army has been successfully completed. Now we inspect the smoker who is de- void of cigarettes. When he becomes tir- ed of bumming (often when others are tired of the same) but he does have thirty cents, he is unable to purchase a package at the college. There is no cigar- ette machine in the lounge or the "crypts" because it is against the law to sell cigarettes to minors; yet, minors are permitted to smoke in the pigeonhole provided for that purpose. We propose two fairly simple solu- tions to these two problems: 1) Allow smoking in the student lounge. 2) Install a cigarette machine some- where in the building, or sell cigarettes from the snack bar. Other colleges and junior colleges gen- erally allow smoking in the dormitories, lounges, the cafeteria, the library and_ some classrooms. Also, cigarettes are sold in the cafeteria, lounge, and/or dormitor- ies. Our present situation needs changing. Soon. (Reprinted from a 1962 issue of the TIMBERCRUISER), HIGHLIGHTS OF 1965!!! CASUAL "DO'S" ARE POPULAR FOR FALL Casual hair styles to go with the casual look are popular this fall. The old favorite, the page boy, has a new look. The hair on the crown is cut the same length as the sides. A side or middle part gives this "do" a lot of swing. Another style popular on campus is the flip. With long bangs and a little curl this is a real bouncing look. For coeds who like short hair, there is the London look. This "in" cut is just eartip length with cheek curls and side- swept bangs. the PAPER WORKS Straight hair is just "gear" especially if it is shoulder-length or longer. With this style, a fringe of eyebrow-length bangs is a must. Ha/Jerdas/Jery 100 N. Second Ave. Quality and fashion Always! Sweaters SPORT Camping & Back packing Equip ...••• TENTS - PACKS - FOOD ....
